Arshi's Love

love is the strongest

Arnav entered Ria's room to see her sleeping in her brother's lap ...he just went near bed and sat down.... slowly started stroking her head lightly ....he just removed her hair covering her cheeks.....his and the other people's heart melted to see the bruise in her cheek....arnav's hand prints were clearly visible....her face was also red from crying..Arnav's eyes almost welled up looking at her state....he signaled the others to leave the room and go have rest....he sat there the whole night and some point slept too....Ria was the first to wake up in the morning....she looked at arnav who was sleeping in a sitting position by the leg side of her bed....arnav woke up too....with sleepy eyes he looked at Ria ....she just starred at him and stormed into the bathroom
Arnav understood that she was mad and left her room....as soon as he left the room all the people he met asked about Ria.....he just silently walked
Nobody talked at the breakfast.....Ria came down dressed fine.... her mom rushed towards her....she just didn't mind her and went and sat near Harsha and started eating ....Ria didn't talk anything so they didn't have an idea how she is feeling at the right moment. ..as she ate in a hurry she chocked a little . . .Harsha was the one to comfort her and provide water to her ...he just touched her cheeks to see how the bruises were.....he couldn't see any bruise because she had perfectly covered it with make up....arnav was too looking at Ria .....she didn't even finish eating half her breakfast when she said she is full...her mom and aunt asked her to eat...she refused and left to the office....the brothers soon followed her
All three brothers were silently looking into Ria..,she was doing her work but with very little enthusiasm.
It was around lunch when Misha came to Ria to pick her up for lunch.
Ria: I'm not hungry
Misha: but I'm hungry so come on
Ria: why are you so stubborn?...ok I'm coming
Misha literally pulled Ria to eat....after Half an hour Ria didn't even touch her food
Harsha slowly approached her.
Harsha: are you not hungry?
You are the one who always lecture me about wasting food, just see you are wasting....never you should show your anger on food
Ria: I'm not angry at anybody
Harsha understood that she is still angry from her voice tone....he just left Misha with Ria and went disappointed
Misha: I really don't know your family but you keep on giving me surprises...he just wanted you to eat....can't you at least respect him
Ria didn't answer but stayed teary eyed
Later that day Ria went home early...she was just looking into her phone anvi entered her room
Anvi greeted her but Ria didn't respond
Anvi: it's ok...what Arnav did was unacceptable....for whatever you did to me I forgive you
Ria: I'm sorry but I know my brother...he slapped me to save you....if it was not my brother then you would not be standing before me
Anvi: I know but he has never hit you...may be if you are his blood he wouldn't have hit you
Ria: what rubbish?
Anvi: so you still don't know
Ria: what are you talking
Anvi: it's your right to ask them
Ria: what right? What are you blabbering
Anvi: I can only tell you this much...you are a clever girl so I guess you can figure it out
Ria was so confused of her words....she didn't know what to do....she again ran to anvis room and enquired her...anvi was not clear but she hid something from her
Ria was totally puzzled...she wanted to know what she meant
She ran to Kushi
Ria: Bhabhi I know that arnav Bhai shares everything with you....so you must definitely know
Kushi: what Ria ?
Ria: Bhabhi am I adopted?
Kushi froze for a second then came to normal
No why are you asking such stupid questions
Because I need to know
Kushi: Ria you have gone mad
Ria was not able get anything from Kushi so she went away
Kushi frantically dialled someone and asked the other person whether Ria came up to him asking about anything
This was observed by Ria who was just waiting by the door
She knew something was fishy....she wanted to find it
She came back to her room when she found few documents lying on her bed...she knew something was bad....her mind didn't want her to look into those...but she did
The documents had her name which was actually an adoption certificate
Ria fell to the floor with the documents on her hand ...eyes constantly looking into the documents.....anvi was smirking from the window when Arnav rushed into the room
To be continued....
