Appa dragged me by my arms and pushed me out of the house."How dare you!You should never come back.You have caused so many losses to the house.Do you have the slightest idea of it."said Appa very angrily.I stood ther perplexed with a confused face.Rambha stood there quite.Mahalaxmi and Shalini were told to get back into the house. Appa slammed the door at my face.Yes,I agree first of all I drowned the name of my family by dating Rishav and then I was falsely accused of killing my baby sister but what was the biggest loss I have done.I need to find that out but how...Yes..I know,Pramila Mami can help.I ran to her windowpane,shen was still standing there, "This girl..you come here,who are you?"she said in her typical south indian ascent which made me giggle."Its me Pramila mami,,Dhara,,Durdhara."She was shocked in an emotional way."Come up sily,what are you waiting for?"With tears in my eyes I walked into her house.Her son Janardhan who was 5 years older to me was married to a beautiful girl Alka and had a son Ryaan and daughter Aisha.I gave them a big hug.Janardhan looked matured with broad shulders that held the responsibilioty of his family.Janardhan gave me a tight hug.He then left for office.Pramila mami introduced me to Alka who made medu wadas for me which was very sweet of her.While Alka was busy with the food I asked her about the family when I was away,a tear fell from her eyes rolling from her cheek."Th day you left the family became lone.You know you caused a lot of embarrasement to your family.Your amma was tired of hearing tonts.The sparkle in her eyes had disappeared.After a month or 2 your amma gave birth to mahalaxmi and Shalini,she also dropped another of her daughter Amruta due to chotorious damage in her ear.She became totally depressed.People said your appa started drinking and beat your mother.In utmost depression she committed suicide.In her letter,she wrote that she cant bear staying away from you and all the tortures she has been facing since she left.She wishes to wait for you in heaven..she also clearly notified that she had full trust on you and always will know that you never killed Durga.She has asked you to carry her message and save women from domestic voilence as appa did and save lives of women like her.But you appa totally destroyed that letter leaving no evidence of his fault.No one was brave enough to raise his voice rather than my swami Anuj who went to the police and filed a complaint against him destroying evidences.....since then he was nowhere to be found my heart says it was none other than your appa who killed my swami,the last candle of hope but I want you to fight for him and raise your voice."said mami.Tills he completed her story I was sobbing bitterly in memory of amma.Just then Alka came with the food."Whats wrong dhara akka?"asked Alka."Nothing "I said wiping my tears.
