Contract of hearts

18. Lonely child

It's been a month of our marriage. And days since I left Dad in France alone with Nathalie. He was so sad when I told him that I had to go back to India because of festivals. Now I have a little family, I have to celebrate Diwali with them.

Dad put the gun in his head just because he mentioned that We have to come back we can't live there till death. Dad was angry, but I handled him.

He gave me so many gifts that I can't even count. He threatened Evan that if he saw me cry then he would come here himself just to bury him. And surprisingly Evan didn't argue.

And whenever mom is not at home he makes breakfast and dinner for me every single day. If he gets busy then he orders for me without telling me. He changed a lot. I don't know why. He changed a lot when that Louis thing happened. But at least he cares for me. Otherwise, I will die hungry but will not enter the kitchen.

But I am not feeling good because of one presence in the house. Tina, her mother, is in Mumbai with my mother-in-law, so she has been living here since yesterday. Yesterday, Mom said that she will live with us until her mother comes.

I am sitting in the swing of my balcony, talking to myself, of course. Because no one is here, Aarav and Evan are at work. Tara is going shopping with her friends. And I am alone with the tina. She is in her room and I am in mine with my lovely laptop.

The doorbell rang, and I went to open the main door. But before me, Tina already opened the door.

"Are you Mr. Oberoi's wife"? The delivery guy asked, and I was about to say, but before me, she said yes, and the delivery guy gave her the package.

I took a deep breath and went towards her.
She was about to rip the package.

"Stop! Don't you have manners, Tina? This is my package"? I say and snatch the package from her.

"I was just seeing what was inside", she said, and I ignored her and went towards my room. I don't want to argue with someone just because of a parcel.

She doesn't have a brain. How dare she say that she is his wife. Leave it Liana! The real wife is you. I said to myself and went towards my room with my package.

I pushed the door, put the parcel on the bed, and sat to open the parcel.

There is a dress sent by Kavya for me. Oh yes, tomorrow I have to meet her, it's been years. I will go tomorrow.

"There is a blue colour dress that has thin straps. It has a cut on the side that will show the left leg a little. I love the dress. I put the dress in the closet and checked my phone".

I wake up at Four in the morning by the alarm. I quickly changed my clothes, did my hair, washed my face, and ran outside towards my car with the keys.
