DQ#1 Thousand Reasons Why

No Right

Aradhya's POV

I was sitting on the balcony silently. I came back home awhile back. I just took a shower and sat here in the balcony. I was thinking about what Asher just said to Eros this afternoon. I am sure that he was talking about me. I knew that he doesn't like Eros and it's obvious. But I don't know the reason. They never ever explained me the reason and I wasn't interested to know either as Asher told me that he will tell me in time. I don't have any idea when will that right time come.

I am so confused about it now. I don't know why has he said that to Eros but I think he wanted to keep Eros away from me that's why he told him that I am his girlfriend. No matter what Eros will not mess with Asher cause he is smart enough to imagine the consequences. I am sure that Asher wanted to help me that's why he did so.

I was overthinking about it. He cares for me but as a friend and I don't want to cross the line and destroy the comfort zone. I am afraid that my awkward teenager emotions will make me pay losing a friend like Asher. I don't want that happen ever. I just want that things never turns the worst between us.

My days were worst already. I am having hectic days. Works, works and works. Our new single track is going to out soon. Our first original. We are very busy these days. Making time for the graduation ceremony was also tough. And in all these my so called father made it even tougher. He filed for the custody and we were called in the courthouse. I have seen Mr. Bradley there. He looked different. He was looking like he was having sleepless nights. He looked devastated. That charming look of him was shaded. I don't know what happened to him but I felt sorry for him. I wish that he overcomes his problem but I can't forgive him for supporting my father. Anyways, I am not going to hold grudges against him. I sighed deeply.

Mrs. Milverton's best friend Mrs. Saxena is handling the case for us. She is also a famous lawyer around but not as famous as Mr. Bradley. But it doesn't matter. This time Mr. Bradley has no points on behalf of himself to defend his clients and win the case. I don't know how will he manage to lose the first time in his life. I feel would sorry for him but no I am not sorry for him. He deserves that. He supported the wrong people.

And anyways, I am going to be 18 in a few months and the court will definitely ask me with whom I want to live. I am sure that we will win this time. I was thinking about that when the light turned on and I opened my eyes to see my Mom. She was looking very upset.

" What happened, Mom?" I asked her.

" Mrs. Bradley is very sick again. We should go and check if she is going well or not." Mom said and I sighed deeply.

" Mom, her son is there and it's her relative's place to help her not ours." I said and Mom kept looking at me for awhile and I knew what she was going to tell me.

" Ari, I didn't brought you up to have a sick mentally like this." She said and I sighed deeply.

" I am sorry, Mom. I shouldn't drag Mrs. Bradley in this but I just don't want to face her son. I am tired of his attempts of separating me from you. I swear I hate this." I said to her and she patted my head.

" Ari, if we act like them then there will be no difference between us. Yes, I have taught you to be a strong woman. I taught you that if someone hurts you without any reason then make them pay for that and return them what they worth. But Mrs. Bradley has nothing to do with this. She helped us a lot when we shifted here in London. She helped me to get the job. I can't forget her favors." She said and I sighed deeply.

" Ok, Mom. I am getting ready. Just give me 5 minutes." I said and quickly changed my clothes.

Mom was already sitting in the car and I opened the door before sitting on the passenger seat and she started to drive. Mom and I saved our money to buy a car and recently we bought it. I am happy that I contributed in it. This will always be emotionally attached with me that how we saved our money to buy a car on the days of our struggling. We reached the hospital in half an hour and Mom talked to the receptionist to know where Mrs. Bradley was.

We reached the floor and found Mrs. Bradley's relatives and friends were there. I was confused if Mrs. Bradley has these people as her friends and family then why is she always lonely?!! People will only remember you when they need your help or you are no more. I shook my head and Mom stated to talk to Mrs. Bradley's daughters. They were here knowing their mother was sick. I shook my head. I was going to follow Mom but my phone started to ring. I picked it up and found it was Asher. I picked the call up at once.

" Hey, where are you?" He asked me at once. I sighed.

" I am in the hospital." I said. " Mrs. Bradley is very sick." I said to him.

" Share me the location." He said after a silence.

" You don't have to come, Asher." I said.

" Ok, I will find you out. Bye. I will be there soon." He said and hung up the call. What happened to him now?!! I shook my head and was going to walk away when I heard Mr. Bradley's voice.

" How are you doing, Ms. Roy?" He asked me and I turned to see him only to found him in devasted appearance. I felt pity on him.

" Hello, Mr. Bradley." I said to him flatly.

I thought that he would start to poison my brain saying that I should go back to my father but he surprised me.

" You were right that day." He said and I narrowed my eyes at him." The person who didn't bother to hear from you when you needed help doesn't deserve to be with you in you happy days. He doesn't have any right." He said and walked away leaving me completely shocked.
