DQ#1 Thousand Reasons Why

Decision

Aradhya's POV

" What happened, Ari?" Juliet asked me.

" What will happen to me?" I asked her.

" Why are you that silent?" Juliet asked.

" Nothing happened just am tired a bit." I said to her and she sighed deeply.

" Should I trust you?" Juliet asked and I kept silent cause even I didn't have answer for her questions. She was determined to made me share my problem with her. I took a deep breath and told her everything that happened this evening before I left home. She sighed deeply and sat next to me.

" You mom called me earlier. She was worried about you. I told her that you are with me." She said to me. I sighed deeply.

" What do you want do now?!" She asked me. I shook my head.

" I don't know. I am feeling very guilty for everything." I said looking down at the ground. Juliet hold my hand and smiled a bit.

" Ari, you are not responsible for anything. You had nothing to do in this. You were no way responsible for these all. It's your grandparents who were responsible for this. They made things more complicated." She said.

" I don't know what to do now." I said to her.

" You should meet your father, Ari. He is waiting for so long to meet you. Didn't you wanted to have a father in your life?" She asked me and I sighed deeply.

" I did but all on a sudden everything is very awkward for me." I said to her.

" Nothing is awkward here, Ari. Your father loves you. You can't deprive him of his daughter. You have to right to do so." She said.

" But what if he wants me to live with him?! I can't leave my mother neither I can disappoint my father. I am stuck in an awkward situation." I said to her.

" How do you know that your father will force you to live with him?! You haven't even talked to him yet. Just go and talk to him. Tell him what you want to do. Tell him what you need is your life." She said to me and I nodded.

" I don't know what is reserved for me in future." I said to her.

" Relax, Ari." She handed me a glass of water. " You can decide for yourself. No one will be forcing you to do anything. If you want to live with your mom then it's ok. Tell your father what you want. Make it clear for him." She said.

" My mom suffered all her life for me. I just don't want to leave her alone in this situation." I said to her.

" Yes, I do respect her. I respect her for everything that she has done for you. But the thing most important for you right now is to calm down and sum up everything. Your father didn't know you all these years. And everyone thought he was dead as well. He had lost a lot in his life so did your mother. You should never ever leave them alone. You can convince them that you will leave with both of them. Your father can move to London so that he can visit you whenever he wants to meet you. It will make things more comfortable." She said to me.

" I think I will talk to him at first." I said to her.

" That's my girl!!" She said and I sighed deeply.

" Thanks for encouraging." I said to her.

"Mention not. I am always there for you." She said to me and I chuckled.

" I was confused as hell since the evening." I said to her.

" Isn't it obvious?! Anyone would be so confused in such a situation, Ari. This is so awkward when you suddenly know that the woman who brought you up since you were born is not your biological mother and your biological father is in search of you who never appeared before." She said to me and I sighed deeply.

" What would you do if you were in my shoes?" I asked her.

" I think I would do the same which I have just told you to do." She said and I nodded.

" I wish you never ever be in my shoes, Juliet. I swear it's a hell torture." I said to her and she chuckled.

" You never know, girl." She said and I sighed deeply.

" You have a lovely family and you don't have to worry about it." I said to her.

" That lovely family is my biggest problem, Ari." She said and I sighed deeply. I don't know what should I tell her on that point.

Some people craves for things where someone else has that but doesn't want it. Things around are too confusing.

" Anyways, have you had your dinner?" Juliet asked me.

" No, I think I will go home and have it with my Mom and aunt." I said to her.

" It's already late and I am sure that they are waiting for you. Do you want me to drop you home?" She asked me but I shook my head.

" I will manage, Juliet." I said to her and stood up. " Thanks for being my support all the time." I said and she chuckled.

" You will have me whenever you need me." She said to me and I smiled before walking out of there.

As soon as, I walked out of Kentworth's house I found Asher standing there waiting for me. How does he know that I am here??! He was wearing the same t-shirt of this morning which was reminding me about Susan's texts. How I wish I could burn that right now!!!

" Hi!!" I said to him.

" Everything ok?! You didn't pick up my calls." He said.

" I just had something to discuss with Juliet." I said and he nodded before opening the door for me. I was going to get in the car but I stopped.

" What happened?" He asked me.

" Would you befriend with me even if I had a dark complexion?" I asked Asher and he looked at me weirdly.

" What?!!" He asked me confusedly.

" Nothing." I said and got in the car. It started to move toward my house.

" Your skin tone never affected me ever, Aradhya. I don't know who has poisoned your brain." He said and I turned to see him but didn't say anything.

We reached home and Asher left. I walked inside and found my mom and aunt were still sitting there in the living room.

" I have made a decision." I said to them and she looked at me shocked. " I will meet Mr.... I mean..." I stopped for awhile. " My father."
