Tangled Love

Aditya's pov

Advik is back from the business trip now and Akshita wants to go back home. Her parents are insisting her to stay for more days but she doesn't react to it.

"Whatever you decide I am with you" Advik smiles at his sister embracing her in a side hug.

"Aaj maaf kardia toh shayad voh meri taqleef kabhi nahi samajh payenge" Akshita let out a low voice looking down at her fingers. She has done everything to be called as 'perfect daughter' yet her parents didn't value her efforts.

(If I forgive them today then will never understand my pain)

It makes me sad that she has to endure so much pain because of me and her parents. She sacrificed so much only to get pain in return. I can't imagine her pain and disappoint she must be feeling.

Hope I'll be able to give the happiness she deserves or even more than that.

Her parents enter the room together and come to the brother-sister duo. "Are you leaving Akshita beta" her mother ask.

"Can I ask you one question ? I just want an honest answer"

"You can. Beta"

"Do you love bhaiya and me equally ?"

"We do"

"You do ? Then why does my efforts get unnoticed by you ? Why did you say that bhaiya is the only person whom you can rely on and you have no one else after him ? Am I not your daughter ? Would you have kicked him out of the house if he made a mistake ?" Blood rush to Akshita's eyes and tears streams down her face.

"Where was I less Mumma ? Apart from once I never denied your any words. You said Akshita study hard and score good marks. I did. You said Akshita apply makeup, workon your self and look good. I did. You said Akshita get married. I did. You said Akshita leave the house. I did. I always obeyed to your words still I couldn't become your perfect daughter why ? I was so obsessed with getting that title that I didn't think about my own happiness. I became a people pleaser" Her lips wobble and trembles as she tries to wipe off the tears from her face. Pain and anger evident in her voice and her each word makes my heart twist in pain.

"After so much what I get to hear ? Akshita doors of this house is closed for you. Why ? This man whom you know only for two years. You can forgive him but not your own daughter ?" She points at me and guilt stabs at my gut.

"How can you not forgive me for once ? I am your own daughter right. Your own flesh and blood. How could you abandon me at the most crucial time of life ? You are my parent and you are suppose to love me without any condition. You have known me for so many years and yet you couldn't understand my feelings" Advik rubs his hand on her back when she starts to take hiccups and cry uncontrollably.

"You don't love me. It's just Advik bhaiya for you and not me. You must be thinking I am being jealous. Yes I am and I am not wrong for asking love and support from my own parents. Mere khudke Maa baap pyaar nahi kar sakte toh main kisi aur se kya umeed rakhun ? Jinke wajah se mera wajood unke liye main kuch nahi. Toh kisi aur ke liye ban jaungi ?" She let out a painful yell enough to shatter our heart.

( My own parents doesn't love then what to expect from other ? The one who are the reason behind my existence consider me nothing then what can I be for others ?)
