THEIR UNWANTED MARRIAGE

PART 73

Happy Reading!

Arohi's POV:

The kids are so excited to go to India. There is so much happiness in Abhi's face.

Even I am happy and nervous. I will meet my family after 4 freaking years. The emotions I feel right now, I can't express it.

How will they react seeing the kids? They all will accept them right. I know Abhi will handle everything but still I am scared.

I have missed them all so much that I can't express it. I missed those banters with Nikhil, doing masti with Ashu. I missed being in mumma-papa's embrace. I missed mom-dad's love and care for me. I missed complaining things to dadu.

I didn't notice I was crying until someone wiped my tears. I looked up to see Ritika holding tissues.

"Thank you" I took the tissue from her and wiped the rest of the tears.

She settled beside me on the couch. Caroline and her family left an hour ago. Varun and Abhi took the kids to get ice creams.

We both sat in silence, looking at nothing in particular. There are so many unsaid words. It is more difficult to talk to her than it was with Abhi.

"I know you are upset with me but just think about it from my point of view" I broke the silence with a sigh

"Did you think about it from our point of view?" I closed my eyes and heard her chuckle "No one ever blamed you even after seeing jeeju's condition. He searched for you like a madman. But there is no way you ever tried to contact anyone for once. You didn't even care to know if we are alive or not. You didn't care about us"

"Leave everyone else, tell me about yourself Riti. Why are you being so hard on me." I want to know what happened.

"Don't behave like you care Arohi. You left, now don't try to come back" it hit like a damn pang in the chest.

"I miss you Riti" I said when she stood up from the couch to leave.

"Yet I was the one to come here and find you, not othe other way round" and she went from there.

"It hurts so much" the tears flowed like a river.

This week was hectic for both of us. He had to wrap up all the work here, I had to show the firm my portfolio with more added designs. On top of that we had to do the packing.

Though all the formalities and contracts are made by the firm. I have discussed everything with them for the Mumbai branch.

It will their first branch in India so it's going to be a hit as they have already got like thousands of online orders from India.

We are leaving tomorrow and many things are remaining. A plus point we have is that we are flying by Abhi's private jet so we don't have to worry about the luggage.

Thanks to Varun and Riti that they helped us with the packing and handling the kids. They really trouble a lot with their cute-stupid questions.

Tonight they took the kids with them so that I can do all the final cleaning and packing without any tension.

Right now I am clearing the cupboard. There are so many things which remind me of some or the other thing.

I see the wooden box. I open the box. The box contains my nuptial chain, my wedding ring Abhi's photos, dried white roses, and my first ultrasound. The one which revealed that we are having twins
