DQ#1 Thousand Reasons Why

The Key Of Happiness

Aradhya's POV

" What are these people doing here?" I asked my mom gritting as I found Mr. Bradley sitting on the couch with my so called father and his wife. My mother sighed deeply.

" They are here to discuss about something very important, Ari. Come have a seat here." Mom said and I clenched my fists trying to control over my anger. I have had enough of it now.

" Mom, I have nothing to discuss with them. I think you too don't have anything to discuss with them. We are not supposed to welcome strangers at home." I said to her.

" Will you please calm down and have a seat?" Mr. Bradley asked me. I glared at him.

" I hate when someone outsider interfere in my life. I will request you to keep your nose to yourself, Mr. Bradley. Don't like it in our lives." I said and Mom hold my hand.

" I don't want these people make a drama here. Let's see what they say." Mom said. I rolled my eyes.

" There is nothing to discuss with them. They are here just for money. You know his father." I pointed my so called father. " His father kept a huge amount for me in his testament. That's why he is here. He wants that money. Nothing else." I said to my mom.

" Come. Have a seat." Mom said.

" I can't breathe in the same air where some poisonous people are breathing. Who knows they will be poisoning us as well." I said to her.

" Aradhya, you are my daughter." My father said and I laughed hard.

" Like really?!!" I asked him. " Yes, you are right. The same daughter you have forgotten for last 10 years. You have never cared for me. I have no memory with you. I can't remember you looking at me ever. You couldn't be able to recognize me as well." I said but he just kept looking at me.

" I am not your daughter. I am just a mistake who has spoiled my mother's life. If I wasn't there my mother could make a fresh astart. But unlike you, she couldn't kick me out of her life. I am a burden. Never ever try to be my father cause you are not. You have no right to ask for my custody from my mother." I said to him.

" Aradhya, you are getting your father wrong." Sargun the vicious woman said.

" I am nit talking to you. So, it's better if you keep your mouth shut. No one asked for your opinion. I know why suddenly he appeared to be my father. But listen to me clearly, I am not going to leave my mother ever and no one can force me for that." I said to her. " Neither your so called husband nor you." I said to her.

" We can discuss about it. Please don't lose your temper. I am sorry for interfering but your opinion is important." Mr. Bradley said.

" I have no interest in talking to any of you, Mr. Bradley. My choice is always my mom. I will not leave my mother ever." I said. " And as for the money of that testament, I thought I will not take that but I have changed my mind. I will take that money and give my mother a luxurious life which she deserves. Cause, I have read the conditions very well. If I don't take the money then they will be able to have that money without any condition. I think they are here to have the custody to kill me cause if I am not alive then they will have the money automatically." I said. " I have the copy of the testament. They have sent me as well. I am not that stupid to not to understand the terms and conditions." I said.

" Why would I kill you?" My father asked.

" Why wouldn't you? You want money. You want it anyhow." I said. " And my life is not important to you. If it was then you wouldn't be able to kick us out of the house that night. Anyways, I have also kicked out every single thing related with my past. I don't want to open that again. So, it will be better if you guys leave or else I will have to call the cops. I hope none of us want to face that situation." I said to them.

Mr. Bradley looked at me and I looked at him with hatred. I hated him as much as I hated my father. They stood up to leave.

" We thought we can solve it with a discussion. But I think now we will be meeting in the courtroom next time." My father said and I rolled my eyes.

" If that's your decision then we have no problem. We will see each other in the courtroom." I said to him. " I thought you are smart enough to not to play with your own reputation but I was wrong. You are as brainless as your father. Exactly the same and I hate both of you." I said coldly and he left. I ignored Sargun completely. She doesn't even matter to me. They were leaving when I realized that I had to say something to Mr. Bradley.

" Mr. Bradley!!!" I called him and he turned to see me. I smiled and he looked at me without any expressions.

" I heard you have never ever lost in any cases in your career." I said to him and he narrowed his eyes.

" What do you mean?" He asked me and I chuckled.

" But I think you are going to lose this time. So, be prepared for that. I feel sorry for your reputation. This will be a breaking news. Jacob Bradley lost the case for the first time of his life. I am so badly waiting for that day." I said and he kept looking at me for awhile then chuckled.

" Being confident is good but being over confident may make you pay later. It make make you regret." He said.

" I am not worried about that, Mr. Bradley. My whole life is a mistake. I wasn't supposed to be born. Then there won't be all these drama. So, I don't have anything to regret. I accept everything happily which life offers." I said smilingly. " That's the key of my happiness."
