ʿ Fated to be His ʾ

At Raichand's place！

" What if maa gets to know? ", Divya was extremely nervous. She ran from her house on Janhvi's advice though she never wanted to betray her mother.

" Believe me or not! If she had ever loved you, she would have never kept such a stupid condition. She would have thought about your future and your dreams! ", janhvi explained her. " For few days, you'll have to stay at a safe place about which your mom has no idea".

" I am scared, janhvi! ", Divya said.

" Stop being so stupid. I have made all the arrangements for you. You can stay at my friend's place. I've told her everything and she will help you out. ".

" Are you sure? "

"100% sure! Go there and then we'll see.", Janhvi insisted and asked her to get inside the cab. " Stay Strong, okay? ", Divya just nodded and driver drove off. She waved at her friend who loved her and her dreams so much unlike her mother. Not her biological mother, to be very precise!

But Divya used to think that Anamika loved her more than her own mother could have, after all she took care of a abandoned child but she was so wrong.

Hot tears streamed down her face, and she squeezed her eyelids shut in the hope her tears would stop. Her choppy breathing and watery eyes remained for quite some time, as she sat in the cab unmoving.

As she reached her destination, the address given by Janhvi, she paid the driver and walked towards the entrance of Captivating place. That was a marvellous house. She was hesitant to walk in but she had no other options. She had no other place to stay.

As she walked in, guards stopped her.

" Whom do you want to meet, Madam? You can't go inside like that! "

" I want to meet Sara. ", Divya was so nervous that she didn't knew what to say. " Let her in. She's my friend! ", Sara came out and told the guards. She was in the lawn only waiting for her.

" Hii Divya! I am Sara. Don't worry about anything. Janhvi told me everything. You are absolutely safe here!", Sara assured her. " Thankyou so much. ", Divya smiled softly.

" Mom, She's Divya. I told you about her, you remember? She'll be staying with us. ", Saima introduced Divya to her mom.

" I remember everything.Let her sit first and then you can say whatever you want. Come here Divya!", she called her out to sit next to her. " I know everything and you can stay here as long as you want. Make yourself comfortable and consider it as your own house. ", she gave her a warm smile and a glass of water to feel relaxed.

" Mukesh uncle! ", Saima called out.

" Ji Mam! "

" Mukesh, How many times should I tell you that call her by a name? I didn't gave them name for just using on their documents. Call them Sara, Saima. ", Ira said. " Ji ", he replied bowing down.

" Now, this is Divya. Sara and Saima's friend. She'll be staying here with us. And Divya, this is Mukesh. Incase you need some help and we are not around, you can surely ask him. ", ira further asked Mukesh to take Divya's belongings to her room.

" Go and freshen up. Then we'll have dinner! Okay? ", she smiled and with that Sara took Divya to her new room.

" She looks so troubled. Bechari par kya biti hogi, sirf ussey hi pata hai! ", saima wondered. " Mujhe bhi pata hai kya hota hai jab apne hi dhoka de dete hai. ", ira replied with a sigh. " anyways, take care of her! ", saima nodded.

" I hope you liked it. We don't know your likes, dislikes na. So, I did it according to my and Saima's choice! ", Sara said to Divya. " I loved these pastel shades. Even my room had same colour. Thankyou so much for helping me. I am so grateful to you Sara!", Divya replied holding her hands. She felt like crying at the moment. "Shhh,, we don't know you much but I have a strong feeling ki we'll have very strong bond in the future. So, stop saying thankyou and get changed. ", she smiled and gave her a hug which Divya reciprocated.
