Ch-11"Your dad is dead and will never wake up,""You are an orphan,""You are unlucky girl,""You are a bad omen,""She should be thrown somewhere,""She is such a bad luck attracter,""You little bitch get out of here,""She should be killed,""NO! NO! STOP IT! DAD! DAD! WHERE ARE YOU!?""DAD!! DAD!!"Laya sat up straight at the nightmare she got. Indeed, it's not a nightmare but a memory of her childhood.She tried to run her hand through her hair but something tugged her. She saw a drip was connected to the back of her right palm. She sighed as she remembered the incidents that happened in the morning. When she got to know that it's her engagement, she fell unconscious. She only remembered her brother carrying her to her room or one of the rooms in the mansion.She removed the needle as the drip was empty. Laya smiled bitterly when she realized there was no one for her to remove the drip after it got emptied. Trying to ignore the pain that was rising in her chest, she walked towar

Ch-13Laya sat on her bed as thought about the things that happened to her. Her mother-in-law looked like a devil. She can remember those evil mothers-in-law from that kind of telugu serials. As for her father-in-law he looked kind but powerless in front of her mother-in-law. As for the groom… he looked like a perfect jerk or maybe not.From what her mother-in-law said…. She stopped the segment due to her absence but she didn't do the same during her son's absence. She can imagine her life in her in-law's house. A sneer formed on her lips at the bitter life she was going to have. She was fretting whether she should trust her brother or not or run away.If she has a mother or father or a brother who are related to her biologically, she would not have to go through this situation. Tears streamed down her cheeks as she thought about this. Who would support her from now on? She would be given with respect based on the dowry she takes. And adding to the point she takes 1/3rd portion of sha

Ch-15Next day…Laya heard from her Sharada that there was a Lord Shiva temple and has to go there to give offerings. Now She had to get ready for it. She wore red a saree and got ready to leave along with her sister-in-law and her brother after they got ready. She doesn't want to take help from anyone… so she tried to drape the saree with a YouTube Video. She couldn't fold the pleats of her frill properly so… she just pinned her frill without folding the pleats to her blouse. She decided to learn how to fold the pleats of her saree frill properly when she gets time this evening.They decided to go to the temple at 8 A.M. And just to drape this saree, she got up early. She saw her mother coming towards her… which brought a headache to her. Last night… her mother woke her from her sleep just to tell her she should go to the temple in the morning which ruined her sleep. Laya was so frustrated to the point she wanted to curse her mother that all her rubber bands would disappear for the n

Ch-17"I think you should go inside and check around" a voice startled her. She turned around and saw a man with the most beautiful pair of black eyes peppered with gold, staring intently with a curve in his lips. There was a spark in his eyes that she couldn't look away from, his lips had the softest and prettiest shade of pink she had ever seen. She was drowned in him. There was complete silence for minutes, which was broken by that person."Hi !!! This is Rahul,'' he introduced himself."This is not a drama, right? Then why do I feel as if his name is music to my ears when I don't even know him ?!" Laya asked herself in her mind. His deep voice brought her back to reality and she squeaked out a "Hi !" While in response she saw amusement swirl in Rahul's eyes as his lips curled in a smirk. Laya flushed at his reaction. It was the first time that she had felt so disoriented in front of a man and on second thought, she had no regrets. "Why ?" she asked herself. But soon her thoughts g

"But how far can you go when you have 4 siblings tracking your every move?" She said in her mind.Her brother Abhinav was searching for her for a long time. Finally, he found her back near her room."Akka (Elder sister), You need to attend the In-law's family dinner. Please wear a saree and come to the dining section in the garden," Abhinav said and left.She knew there was no escape for her from this thing. Laya has to accept it now or after. But she felt that maybe it's not too bad for her to be with Rahul. He seemed good. But why does she have some nagging feeling? Maybe because she was worried whether he would let her follow her dreams when her mother was acting like a dictator. She sighed helplessly and took out a white saree and draped it. She wore no pleats this time as she has to look beautiful and presentable in front of his relatives. She looked like an angel in her white saree. After she was done, she was about to go to the garden alone. But her brother Arjun came to escort
