TANYA'S POV-

"कुछ दर्द पुराने होजाते है पर
उनके गाव कभी नहीं भरते।"

Memories is a tiny word for what but i am feeling at this moment. The past haunts me and my body shivers. I look over at the walls of the mansion, they scream pain. Every second here reminds me of how happy we once used to be.

Used to be. Not that i am happy now. After years of that misery, i find it difficult to barely exhale and inhale most of the nights. The nights make me whimper in pain and i am helpless here. I beg myself to forget what happened but it refuses every time. And it doesn't even get any better. I press my lips into a thin line and i hear a click sound of the door.

My eyes follow the direction to the room upstairs, Chachi comes out with a pile of outfits in her hands. I smile at her and she returns me the same.

"Welcome back Tanya." She says and places those heavy outfits on the couch beside me.

"How have you been?" I ask trying to speak as normally as i could.

"Doing wedding preparations made me a little unwell but it's fun i guess." She confesses.

"Yeah. I can't believe Trisha is getting married. It feels like yesterday when i left this place and now i am here already to let go of my only sister." I stick my gaze to one of the tiles on the floor.

Chachi's hand pats my shoulder and she smiles at me, pulling me into a hug. The feeling made my heart wrench in emotions. I have never felt this comfort from years. How does it feel to be held.

Even after having a family, i suffer alone. I don't share or I don't even contact with them. I feel like sacrificing them for Trisha. She deserves them and not me. I want her to know that i am the only orphan and she still has a family.

But this hurts. Having a family but not actually having them. I sort of abandoned them. So that they can provide all their attention to Trisha.

Chachi's hand rubs back and forth at my back and a little tear escapes my eyes, but as i pull away from the hug. I can see Trisha standing in the stairs from the corner of my eyes, i quickly wipe that moisture away and smile at her. She doesn't respond back instead she rolls her eyes.

"You know you are late here." A hoarse manly voice gets my attention, when i turn back. I see Aarav.

He is my cousin and only child of my Chachu and Chachi. Judging by his figure no one can ever guess that he just graduated, but he is just 22. His shoulders are broad and he is insanely handsome. I smirk at him and he practically lifts me up while hugging me.

Just how i used to love it. He is still the same Aarav, i left years ago. My giggles echoes in the hall as he places me down. I pinch his nose and he gets a little annoyed.
