Diya's POV

It was late in the morning when Rahul dropped me at my parent's place, I stepped out of the car to find Sheela and my mom holding an Aarti plate (A/n: Aarti plate in Indian culture is the one which contains turmeric, camphor, and joss sticks which are given as an offering to god, they are mostly used on auspicious occasions). This was the first time I was seeing my house after my marriage yet, I was on the verge of tears after seeing my sister and mom standing there.

This was the house in which I grew up, but this is not the place where I come from, is it true Maa? I had many questions running through my mind as my mom and Sheela greeted me and I could not stop myself anymore and broke down before them. I just could not take it, my Maa, she's the one I've always loved, and suddenly that file had to come and change everything! my whole identity is a question mark, I wonder who I am. I was crying helplessly as my mom and Sheela embraced me in an even tighter hug with Rahul standing right beside them.

"Beta, what happened?", hushed Maa and Sheela was rubbing my back "Nothing Maa, just got emotional seeing you", I said smiling with tears still slipping out of my eyes. I was taken inside and Rahul left immediately after I was taken inside. "Beta, I know it must have been tough for you to take on such a difficult path for the sake of your family but, trust me beta, Rahul is very good man, he has assured us that he'll always be there for you and so are we!", she said engulfing me into another embrace but the chaos inside my head was reminding me of the horror that lies ahead. "Maa, I just wanted to take a few books from my room, I've started to assist Peppy uncle, with his new business venture", I said walking towards my room, "Oh Beta, that's such a good thing! so you finally are getting closer to your dream", said mom with a smile plastered over her face.

I had a great time at home, I spoke of everything with my mom and sister, apparently, Papa was away on some work so I could not get to meet him, but I was glad about the time I got to spend with my family! for a moment I forgot about everything, about marriage, about Rahul until, he came to pick me. I was sad when it was time to leave, but I was happy as well, because they love me and that I could spend time with them.

"Arey, Rahul Beta! come let's have dinner and then you can take Diya with you", said mom while she was arranging the table for dinner. I was in the kitchen cooking biryani and Shorba for Mr.I-get-what-I-want. As I was placing the cutlery with food items in it I could feel something moving on my waist, I tried to shrug it off with my hands when my hands were held and I was trapped between the wall and the jerk himself! "what are you doing? I have to go and help mom arrange the table", I said trying to maintain as much distance as I could between the two of us "Well, you can carry on with your cooking and let me do what I want to do", he said with him moving closer to me. All I knew was that he doesn't plan on leaving soon and if Sheela catches us like this, I'm going to be doomed fo life as she'll spread it to every last person living in Mumbai.

" Fine, then you leave me with no choice", I said while closing his eyes with my palm, "Darling, will you please open your mouth I've something special for you", I said in a flirtatious tone and he did just as I told him to. I opened the steel box that I was holding and took a large spoon of chilly pickle in it and fed it to Rahul, who was probably not expecting it.The moment he started to chew it, I could see his eyes go red. "Haha, now that's what you get for persecuting me", I said while controlling my laughter and escaping from him.

Soon after we had dinner, it was time to leave and thank god that Sheela and mom were coming along with us in the car as they had to meet Jaya Maa and Roshni Chachi to hand over the new set of pickles that my mom made. Apparently, my mom is the best cook, Jaya Maa and Chachi love the pickles made by my mom.

I was walking towards the car when I remembered that I was missing the bag in which I kept all my books, so I quickly walked back and searched for my bag which was lying on the top most shelf. I tried to pull its dangling handle and made the whole box above the bag fall over my head. I was surrounded by piles of papers and envelops which were scattered all over the place, I placed my bag aside and started to put all the papers and envelops back into the box. While I was doing that I found an envelop which was from New Vision orphanage.

This name seemed quite familiar to me, I swear I've heard this name before, that's when it hit me! This was the orphanage from which 3 girls were kidnapped along with me. I distinctly remeber what the kidnapper said then over phone, ' All these girls are from the New Vision Oprphanage'

What is this doing here? curiosity got the better of me and I opened the envelop to find a form which resembled a lot like and entry certificate which had my name on it.

Name: Diya

Place of Birth: unknown

Date of entry: 23/11/'96

I don't believe this, this can't be!

A/n: guys thank you so much for the votes and reads! hope it continues :)
