Always Only You

Part 17

The next 5 weeks passed painfully slowly. Adi's 20th birthday, was celebrated at his request, small. Anjali had participated, but only physically and mentally she was far away. She went back to school, but even there she was mentally absent.

Ishite was now 5 months pregnant and had morning sickness at any time of the day or night. But she really could not enjoy her pregnancy. There were too many worries, so many thoughts she made about her children and especially about Anjali. She ate regularly and rested, she wanted this baby to be healthy and without Raman, she would not stand it all.!

~ Anjali's room ~

She lay on her bed staring at the ceiling. She had enough of life, she did not want that life! She was not quite 14 years old and her life was already a pile of shit.

Anjali crossed her arms behind her head and cried softly. Why ? she did not understand it, until now she had not really talked to her parents, her Papa had told her if she was ready to talk she should come to them, but she was not ready, she did not want to hear about anyone else being her father. That her mother had a child with this other man and that she was that Child.

Her mother was pregnant and would have a baby in a few months,Anjali envied this baby, because her Papa was the real father of this baby. She was jealous of her siblings because her Papa was the right father of all of them, except her and that hurt.

She was especially rude to Pihu, and she developed a dislike for her little sister. Ruhi and Adi usually got only a brief answer, otherwise she did not speak to them. She did the same with the rest of the family. The only ones she spoke with were Ananya, Sritija and Shravu, because of those, she did not feel cheated.

When the result of the paternity test came, nobody surprised the result, and no one was surprised that the custody lawsuit came a few days later,but Subu managed to hit it again. it was not about the right to dealings or shared custody, No! he wanted custody of Anjali. IshRa and family were shocked, Bala immediately went to his mother, but neither she nor Subu were willing to talk to him.

Now, Ishra had to talk to Anjali, even though she had not come to them by herself to talk. They had to explain to their daughter what Subu was up to and what Anjali thought.

~ Anjali's room ~

Anjali lay on her bed staring at the ceiling. A knock on the door brought her out of her thoughts. The door opened and her parents stood in the room. Anjali sat down with her legs crossed and looked over her parents.

"Anjali, we have to talk to you,"Ishita said in a low voice

Anjali nodded slightly but said nothing.

Ishita sat down in the chair and Raman stood behind her and put a hand on her shoulder.

Raman cleared his throat..." a few days earlier ... a few days earlier ... came the test ... we do not want to talk about the result, because ... because ..." It was hard for him to talk to Anjali

"I know the test showed that you do not ... that you do not mean mine ... that this man is my ... biological..."Anjali said sadly

She looked at Ishita ... "why did you want a baby with this man? why did not you wish me with Papa"?

Ishita had to control herself, not to burst into tears

"I do not understand this, as if I'm not a premature baby, then I was already in your belly when you married Papa. When were you married to this other man? and you divorced and then did you immediately marry Papa? That does not work, right"?

What was Ishita going to say to her daughter without mentioning how it really was?..."I was not married to him"

Anjali's eyes widened ... "What? you wanted a baby with someone you were not married with? Why"?
