Only Thing I want is LOVE

CHAPTER 1

RIYA'S PROV

I am Riya Sharma, 25 years old uneducated (only till 6th grade) ugly, dark skin, bad omen and dumb woman. I just know one thing to do MISTAKES. I always try to correct it but at the end of the day, I do more. I have a father (who hates me) Bhaldev Sharma, step-mother Sheetal Sharma, step-sister Piya Sharma (she is as devil as her mother). My father was an ex-Indian Army officer who retired from a very high post and Sheetal aunty is a fashion designer. They are not extremely rich but at least they are well to do. "THEY", YES because they don't consider me as their daughter that's why. Whatever they earn, it's for Piya not for me. I get clothes on 2 occasion: first on DIWALI and second for NEW YEAR. So that way I at least get cloths to wear. I get 2 meals a day. I have 4 sets of torn chudidar, 1pair of sandals, 1 photo of Maa, 1 yellow small teddy bear, I call it pooh. I talk to him, when I feel sad. He listens to me without making any faces. I feel very sad when my father calls me a sin, bad omen.

I lost my mother when she gave birth to me. My father thinks I am responsible for her death. He is RIGHT I am, because of me she died. After her death, my father married Sheetal Aunty. I never called her maa. She wanted to send me to an orphanage, but my dadi was very adamant that I stay here. She was the only one in this world who loved me with all my flaws and mistakes, but she is no more and I miss her today. If today she was alive, she would have not let this happen. Let my marriage happen this way. She would have fought for me hear too.

FLASHBACK

RIYA'S PROV

The whole house was decorated with White Lillis and Purple Orchids. Its Piya's wedding, I mean Big Fat Wedding with love of her life. I got to know from Shanti Tai, our maid who takes care of the cleaning in house. It's a 5 BHK bungalow with a garden, so at least 2 people are needed to take care of the flat. She is a nice lady. She always tells me the gossips going on in the house. She told me that boy belongs from a rich family and Piya was in love with him for almost 2 years. I felt little sad that so many people loved her, but not a single person in the world who loves me or worries for me. But then I thought I might also get my prince who is just waiting for me.

The preparation where on swing. Hall was decorated with lights and flowers, all the guest had started arriving. Kitchen was filled with mouthwatering sweets and tasty food. The whole house was joyous as if all are celebrating some kind of festival. The wedding was at their house and reception was from the boy side. Suddenly Sheetal aunty called me.

Sheetal Aunty: what are you doing there??? Come here and take these jewelry to Piya's room. It's from her in-laws. Do be careful with it.

Me: hmmm (and shook my head in yes and left from there to go to Piya's room)

I took the boxes and went upstairs to give it to Piya. I went and knocked the door, but no one answered from inside. I was a bit louder this time, but still no one opened the door. I got little scared. I hit that door, this time harder. Till that time my father came out of his room. Seeing me hitting the door, he got irritated.

Bhaldev Sharma: Why are you banging the door???? If it breaks, will your mother send money from heaven to pay it????? (I felt hurt. He always does this to hurt me. He always brings my mother in between to taunt me.)

Me: Piya is not opening the door. Sheetal Aunty gave me these boxes to give it to her. I had knocked but she is not opening. (He felt strange. He went near the door and knocked on door, but still there is no response from other side. He turned towards me and said)

Bhaldev Sharma: Go and ..... (The sound of music coming from downstairs was a signal that the groom has arrived. Father had become pale as if he saw some scary monster was standing next to him. He didn't waste a second and ran to call Sheetal aunty)

As soon as he went, I turned towards Piya's room and went to open the door. I opened it and peeped inside to check where Piya is, is she ok or she is in bathroom??? I quickly kept the boxes on the bed and went towards the bathroom. I opened the door and checked there was no one inside. I came out and saw a paper was kept on the table with a book on top of it. I went and took the letter and was about to open when someone snatched away from me. I lifted my head to see, it was Sheetal Aunty. She did not waste her time on shouting at me, she took the letter and read it. When she finished the letter, she sat on the bed with a thug and said in shocking voice.

Sheetal Aunty: Bhaldev, Piya ran away.
