Call It Fate

Chapter - 1

"Papa, mera yakeen kariye maine kuch bhi nahi kiya." I said grabbing my father's hand in mine, Giving him a desperate look. Though he was not even looking at me.

Suddenly he snatched his hand right back, making me stumble back a bit violently. Regaining my posture, I looked at my father who's now back was facing me. He seemed not at all affected by my state. I could say he perfectly managed to avoid me in the least.

I always used to be my daddy's princess. But now, I myself don't know How things had turned out like this? I don't even know if I still have the right to call him my father or not. As he clearly seemed disappointed as well as disgusted by me. He was so ashamed of me that he still didn't made any eye contact with me. He is been like this from the past three hours and honestly it's killing me to no end.

I turned to look at my partner in crime, my twin, my one and only brother.

"Shlok, please trust me I didn't do anything." I put my hands on his both shoulders, trying to make him believe me.

This is the only thing I have been doing since last few hours. But like each and every time this attempt was also gone in vain.

He was standing still there. And the looks of it, one could easily pass him as a statue. His head was Hung low as if not at all wanting to look up. He looked completely disheveled.

I can't blame him as I myself was in a very poor state. My eyes are already blood shot red from crying hysterically. Every time I think that I have no tears left to shed, one look at my family members and the river would start flowing all over again.

I left him be there. Tired, my eyes roamed around the whole living room to end up on the one person I thought would at least support me.

"Maa.......tum to Mera vishvas karo. Tum janti hona mai kabhi kuch aisa galat nahi kar sakti........" I said Walking towards her but abruptly came to a halt when she raised her hand to stop me. As if to say that she doesn't want me to come near her. As if she doesn't want to hear me.

She was silently crying. No doubts. I could see that.

I would be lying if I said that, it didn't hurt me. I was devastated. Never had I ever thought that I would have to face a day like this. Just in few hours I lost my Everything. Like Every fucking thing. Nothing could be more worse than this.

I closed my eyes for a fraction of second. Replaying every thing that has happened in that short span of time. And the only one I found to put the blame on was, HIM! But it doesn't mean that I am off the hook. I am as responsible as him.

If only I had been more careful. If only I had never opened that door. If only.......

Nothing is going to change. This it it. Now this is my life. The dreams I have seen. The opportunities I have gained. The things I have planned, everything has gone in vain. Complete and utter vain!

No, I can't stay like this. I won't give up. No matter what. I am not the one to simply sit down. Not at least without putting up a fight. I have to make them believe me. I can't let them just blame me for no reason. I have to make them understand. I have to tell them that this is all a misunderstanding. That I am innocent!

'Didn't you just do that countless times?' The voice at the back of my head mocked me.

I can't even deny because it's partially true. I already made numerous attempts to justify myself. Out of which none work.

My head was throbbing badly. I felt like someone was hammering inside my brain. But no matter what. I will try. I will try my best. That someday, they have to trust me. I will prove my innocence to them. If not today then tomorrow, if not tomorrow then day after tomorrow. I will not stop.
