Realization of Love

Chapter 4

Priya POV

After six years I came back to live with my family whom now unfortunately lives in a house where all those people live who are the reason of my sufferings what happened to me when I was away from home is all their because if it weren't for them I wouldn't have left Delhi I remember that night really well even after six years.

After leaving Raj bhai house I kept on walking even I didn't know where because I was hurt and I knew that if I kept on seeing them everyday I would breakdown when I came back to my senses I was standing on a train station where a train was leaving to Kolkata and I immediately knew what I had to do I bought a ticket for Kolkata and reached my house where I told my parents that I want to leave immediately or else I would breakdown to the point where no one could put me back together and before leaving I gave my oath to mom and dad to not tell anyone about me.

Today I woke up like usual on my routine at five in the morning and did some workout as my job requires me to be healthy till the time I finished it was nine o clock I got ready in an orange suit with a green dupatta and went towards the dining room where everyone was having breakfast. I knew they would be here not because I came back and they want to meet me but because its their routine on holidays that they all spend their whole days from breakfast to dinner in Virats house dad told me everything that happened when I was away.

"Good Morning and Sorry I am late I couldn't help with the breakfast", I said to no one in particular while while sitting beside dad and to my luck Virat was sitting across me and Tia came and sat beside me.

"Oh its ok dear you must have been tired after yesterdays travel and you don't need to think about helping you must get settled first", aunty said smiling at me while I just nodded giving a small smile and started my breakfast.

I was having my breakfast when suddenly someone brought a glass of milk in front of me and those horrible memories came rushing back.

"Here your milk drink it while its hot", mom said bringing that glass of milk near my lips and I reacted on my instinct and pushed myself back and ran from there to my room and locked myself in my room sat on the floor and called the one person that I know can help me I talked to him for an hour and after hanging up I started thinking how I am going to explain all of them what happened to me.

I left my room and saw them all in the living room talking intently among them selves when they saw me coming they stopped talking and everyone turned towards me so I decided to break the ice.

"I am sorry mom I shouldn't have ran away like that but I just request you don't question me and please never like never ever show me a glass of milk", I told her to which she nodded and to my relief she didn't ask me any question regarding that nut when I looked towards my dad I can say he wants to ask me something so I told him ask away dad.

"Priya do you have a boyfriend?", he asked me I shook my head in negative to which he smiled in relief and I immediately know where he is getting to.

"Do you mind if I fix your marriage with Virat?", he questioned and became silent I looked around and found out that everyone is waiting for my answer and to my shock Virat was smiling nervously at me after recovering from my initial shock and controlling my expressions I told him what came to my mind.

"Yes dad I mind because I don't want to get married", when I said that I saw from the corner of my eye how Virats smile fell which made my heart feel guilty but I pushed those feelings back because he is the reason of my rejection in the first place.

"But sweetie you are twenty four you should have gotten married till now if you don't want to get married to Virat then we can find another match for you", mom said looking sadly at me.

"I don't want to get married mom like never its not about Virat its about men I cant trust anyone and if you think I am becoming a burden on you I will just leave and live on my own", I told her and the next moment I felt a slap on my cheek and it was from mom she was looking furiously at me.

"You are not a burden on us you dont want to get married then its okay but never ever think that you are a burden on us", she said looking at me with tears in her eyes but she I know better what is behind those fake tears mom I said to myself my phone started ringing so I lifted it up.

"Hello Priya open the news its important you have to do something", he told me and hanged up immediately and I could hear the commotion on the other side.

After hanging up I immediately switched on the tv where on news I can see that they are really out of control everything long forgotten what happened here a few minutes ago as everyone's attention was on tv I ran towards my room and got ready in my uniform when I got a call from my superior who ordered me to join the branch now and control the situation.    

When I reached downstairs everyone was looking at me with mouth wide open while dad stood there with a proud smile I was in hurry that's why I ignored them and rushed towards the door.

"Dad a courier would be coming that's for you to be proud of me if I don't come back soon just receive it its for you", saying this I left the house.

Virat POV

I cant help it but feel proud of Priya My Priya she is in police and not only that she became an ACP in these few years after she left we all sat back down its been three hours since she left and its already late in the afternoon in these three hours uncle received the courier Priya was talking about it was filled with certificates, trophies and medals and by the look on uncles face I can tell she is very proud.

"Now what will you do Virat she rejected your proposal and I cant force her knowing fully well that you and your friends are the reason she left in first place I don't want her to leave again she is my only daughter", uncle told me smiling apologetically and you heard it right they know everything everyone knows what happened between all of us.

I told them everything when she didn't come back on Diwali four years back first they were really angry at me but later they saw me suffering everyday so they forgave me. 

"I know uncle that's why now I am going to win her heart I am going keep trying till she accepts me", I told him honestly to which he just smiled at me.
