Diya pov

"Arjun" his mother's week voice came as broken as she stood there in tears seeing their children fighting over.

"Out of my house Advik" his father's voice came as an austere tone commanding him to not speak back, "Dad, I am.." Advik tried to speak back but his voice throws him a strong glare in his direction making him shut his mouth.

He took few steps towards his son steadily in a dark manner, "Is this the way to treat women?" my eyes automatically moved towards Arjun who stood looking ahead of the living room, "the day she placed her foot on this house as Arjun's wife, she became my daughter. Now she is more important to me than my sons"

My eyes drown in guilt as the situation here became worse when his eyes landed on Arjun who is standing there emotionless as always, "and you Arjun" Arjun stiff body becomes more rigid, "you are not less than your brother" he nodded affirmatively but shrugged it off with a careless look, "what can i do for it dad?"

"Things won't be easy as they are now Arjun, it will be out of hand if you take it too far"

"I don't care, dad," he said annoyingly making my heart clench in pain when his words reached my deaf ears slowly, controlling the tears I looked straight at the Verma men's affirming conversation.

No tears.

No emotions.

No hurt.

Just looking at the scene in front of me.

His father's face darkened at his reply as he spoke, "then I never want you both to enter into my house. This will be only for my both daughters" angrily.

"Oh, come on dad, you are not supposed to support for some girl over me" he heaved a huge sigh and looked at me, again same emotionless eyes, "I am taking her with me"

"She is not coming with you," his mother said coming by my side placing her hand on my shoulder squeezing it gently.

"Beleive me, mom, I am not respecting your words again" how can a person be such a pretentious and vicious like him?

"You are becoming like a monster Arjun"

"I am, mom"

"Coming with you is my decision," I said eyeing him, "but now it's my decision to take you with me" my anger rise in me, "who are you to..." my voice faded away in a snap of second as his arms took hold of my wrist in a strong way leading me out of their hallway crossing his broken brother still glancing at the floor.

What happened to him?

Why is he not responding to any of the things happening around him?

Moving out of my thoughts I looked at Arjun hearing his mother's words, "leave her Arjun" but he is silent again, "leave me" I said trying to free myself from his strong clutch.

"I am not going to repeat it again, leave her Arjun or I am not giving you, your desired position in office" his father's voice stopped him as he turned to look at his angry father with calculating eyes, "she is not worth my career dad" my heart clenched hearing him.

"But I will leave her after a few hours," he said casually, "I have to sort some business with her" my heart laughed at me mockingly at my situation.

"Arjun" his mother whispered shakily with a teary voice.

This is all that I am in his life, just a business to deal with.

Business?

So lucky I am.

Helping him as an object more than being his lovely wife.

He again grabbed my hand and took a few strides towards the exit, stopping him with my death grip on the floor with my legs I looked at him, who is throwing fireballs at me with his eyes.

The same eyes which expressed only love are now filled with pure anger and hatred.

How stupid I am to think he still has some humanity in him to save his wife.

And yeah I once again fell for his one word, wife.

As he said I am really easy to play with both my heart and emotions, why can't I once be calculating, cunning and heartless?

"Come" his order was sternly dingy.

I shook my head in no fighting back with my tears, "go away Arjun" however I tried to fight with my emotions I am failing again and again.

I tried to wiggle out of his arms weakly when his grip on me is still strong I gave up.

"I can't ever win against you" but I also don't want to lose it with him, with a heavy heart, "if you take this business object" i referred to myself sniffing a bit controlling the water flow ready to flow down any second, "with you now, then i will die" sniff, "right in front of you"

His eyes widened for a snap of seconds and again composing himself he again tried to drag me but I harshly left his hand and took the knife right near the couch and placed it on my wrist right above the vein, "leave the knife" he said taking a step towards me.

"Stop" I placed the sharp knife on my wrist giving a slight pressure on, "go away Arjun" his father yells were unheard by him as he took another step towards me while his mother is crying hard covering her mouth as Advik is trying to console her.

"No, dad I can't leave her" his eyes knotted with mine asking me to drop the act right away, "she is just acting to push me away"

"I am not acting like you" I yelled at him holding the knife dangerously as it passed my skin making blood come out of my hand giving an itchy yet slight pain.

"Diya please" his mother begged me tearfully but I moved not my gaze away from him who is looking at my blood with unknown emotions with hard knuckles.

"Never show your face to me Arjun, you are just hurting me to a great extent beyond repair for me to even searching for reasons to reside" he showed his hand making me stop, "I will go away," he said still with emotionless voice and unwavering gaze on my hand which is now filled with blood as the knife is getting deep every second.

With a sudden movement, the knife was snatched away from me by Advik and started to tie my hand with his handkerchief but i pushed him away in fear taking a step back as a series of flashes crossed my mind which happened a few minutes back, "no please" a tear escaped my eyes which I was holding now.

"Am sorry babhi" he said with guilt as his mother took the handkerchief and tie my hand with cotton aiding it carefully, "giving birth to such peoples is my fault Diya" she sobbed unable to control her tears, "he doesn't deserve such an innocent soul like you" my eyes followed her to see him looking at me without even blinking away.

Then he walked away giving me one last look as I broke down on the floor unable to hold back my tears, second by second my cries are turning into loud sobs as my mother in law hugged me sitting to my level, hugging her back I cried harder letting out all my sorrows through my tears.

"Don't cry Diya, I can't stand back these tears as these are only because of my son's aggressive behavior. I won't ever pressure you to accept Arjun, I even won't stop you if you don't want..." She stopped for a second as my heart cried in pain knowing what she is about to say, "to be with him"

Shaking my head, "I never wanted this aunty, my only prayer is to not use the word divorce in my life but..."

"If it's mean to happen it will happen Diya, Arjun won't keep you happy. I don't want to see you crying. As a mother, I should behave the same way I am with Arjun that's why I want you to leave him" I looked up and saw his father standing looking in the opposite direction.

She is correct but can I be away from all these?

Can I forget him?

"Mom, don't say such things to her" Advik said sadly in a low voice.

His mother laughed at his son's words in a mockery way, "then what should I say? How to insult your family in front of your friends?

Or treat her in a bad way possible?

Or let your friends misbehave with your brother's wife?"

My eyes widened in shock hearing his mother's way of speaking with him.

My eyes widened how she spoke those words easily without showing her anger rather than using an indirect taunt way with a small smile.

"Instead of asking your brother to treat your babhi good, you are hurting her with your so-called friends, will you do the same to me if I hurt your brother? Or will you throw me out of the house for opposing you? You better leave this house, Mr. Verma"

I felt pain engulfing me seeing his pain-filled eyes hearing a formal name directed to him from his own mother, no child deserves this.

"Don't punish him hurting yourself Aunty" I said seeing the hurt in her eyes while addressing him like an outsider.

"This hurt was a gift from my children for not raising them properly, Diya and I am happy at least now I realized my mistake"

"But it hurts me to see the happy family is breaking slowly because of me, the smile and happiness which was present before are nowhere seen here. It...it makes me drown in guilt"

"No, Diya. Only because of you I saw the original face of my two-faced sons. And don't ever degrade your presence in this house. I want you to be happy. That's all that I need now. Take rest in your room. I need to go to the temple for thanking God" her voice broke at the end ahead of the fake smile.

Deciding to leave her I nodded my head, "let me take you" his father walked out with his mother not before ordering Advik, "i want your every single thing to be out of my house when I come back"

He turned to me, "go to your room Diya, I don't want to leave you alone with him, who knows what he is planning now"

Advik chuckled sadly, "it's okay dad. I will leave now" he said walked to the exit but stopped and turned to his father again, "I am resigning from your company sir" he placed the car keys, wallet and all cards on the floor, "when i am out of this house and your life I think I don't need them anymore" his mom hugged his father and cried in his chest as Advik walked out not before saying, "i swear i never had the intention to hurt your dignity. Sorry babhi" a tear slipped his eyes making my heart squeeze in pain.

Too much pain for a day.

I want you to leave him...his mother's words lingered in my ears as I clutched my heart hoping it would lessen the pain.
