SIDHARTH POV

After dropping Sana outside her home. I left for my house thinking about our Ladakh trip. It's a mixture of good memories and bad memories.

I still can't believe she is dead. I don't know her personally but I still feel bad for her. And her family. After all, I'm a human. I have feelings. Plus, she died at a young age.

I don't know why but I have a strong feeling, that I have seen her before. Not in college but somewhere else. Where? I don't know. I can't remember it.

"No need to think about her." I tell myself. She is no one to me. I should better concentrate on me and my princess.

She must've freshened up by then and maybe taking a nap. She was tired. She needed rest. Mostly a good sleep.

My phone buzzed with message tone. I take out my phone and gasp seeing the text. It's from Sana's father, Mr. Gill.

Mr. Gill- Come home right now. I know about you and my daughter's relationship. We need to talk. So, hurry up.

"Holy fuck!" He knows. Means her mother knows. Does Sana know that they know? Or it's Sana who said it to them. I am so confused. But mostly, I need to find out. For that, I need to go there as soon as possible.

"I need to go back where you dropped her. Please turn around." I say in panic to the driver.

Understanding my emergency the driver took me back to her house in thirty minutes. He saved ten minutes. I quickly pay him and get down from car in hurry and walk fast to her house. I came to a sudden halt and a soft gasp left my mouth as I reached just outside the entrance door, hearing what her father just said.

"Yes Dad. I am in love with Sidharth. We are a couple." She just accepts to her parents that we are a couple. That too proudly.

I am in deep shock. I wasn't expecting this to happen so early. I thought we would talk about this after a few months. Before leaving for London. But here we go. Now I got worried thinking about our relationship's future. It's on stake. Her parents won't accept this at any cost.

"Oh! My God. That's disgusting Sana. He is your uncle's friend. He is your professor! What's wrong with Sidharth? Has he lost his mind too?" Her mom says in disgust.

Now I'm feeling ashamed of my act. She is young. But I'm not. I am an adult. A 36 year old man. What's wrong with me?

"I know everything. Even he knows. But, love doesn't see logic Mom. Dad."

Her parents look at her in disbelief and disgust. But I am in guilt. Here she is fighting for us. For me. But what am I doing? Having second thoughts on our love? On our relationship? What the fuck is wrong with me? I really don't deserve her and her love.

"This is wrong Sana. This is absolutely wrong. Have you thought what people will say and think? About you? About Sidharth? And about us? Huh?" Her father shouted at her.

"I really don't care what you both think. What other people think. I love him. He loves me. That's all that matters to me." Her words make my eyes moist; seeing her fighting for us.

"I can't believe this girl. She had lost her mind, Suraj." Her mom says in disbelief.

"So, those pictures and videos were real?" Her father asks.

"What? Video and pictures?" I ask drawing their attention to me.

"Sidharth," Sana comes running to me and hugs me tightly in front of her shocked parents.

I hold her in my arms looking at her furious parents. Her father is giving me a "I'll kill you" look.

"Leave my daughter, Sidharth." Her Mom demands.

I hold her more tightly in my arms.

"He won't leave me Mom." Sana says confidently

"Leave her Sidharth. She is a kid. But not you. You are a grown up man. An adult. She has no sense but you do. You have a reputation too. You are a professor. If people come to know about you and Sana. You can lose your job. But, if you don't leave her, I'll make sure you get fired. I'll sue you." Her father threatened me.

Whatever he is saying is true. If I leave her I'll lose her plus my job. I don't trust them. If I don't I'll have her but still lose my job.

"He won't leave me Dad. Give it a try." Sana's muffed voice came against my chest.

"I'll seriously sue you Sidharth."

"Sue me. Then." I won't leave my princess.

They gasp in shock and Sana smiles.

"Told ya Dad."

"What picture and video you were talking about?" I ask them again.

I need to know who sent it and what picture and video they have. I am sure that person has more copies of it. I need to find that person and sue.

"Can't tell. It's disgusting to even say." His words makes me wonder what exactly are they.

"Show us then." Sana demand.

"Yes." I want to see what pictures and video they have.

"I can't show you."

"That's ridiculous Dad. Show us. Or else I'll believe you don't have any pictures or video of us. You are lying."

She got a point. "Yes. Show us." I demand.

He did something on his phone, "Check your phones."

I am quick to take out my phone and, it's a picture of us kissing at the college parking lot, in her car. And the video is the moment Sana wanted to make out. And we discuss to meet in my room. It's on the tracking day. The day Ms. Mili died.

"I can't believe I'm seeing this day."
Her father says in disgust, shaking head.

I am shocked. But the main question is, who the fuck send it to them? Because, I asked everyone to continue walking. Then who stayed back to record this?

"Who sent those to you? Tell me the name Dad?" Sana demands, before I could ask.

"That doesn't matter." He snapped at her

"It does matter. So, tell us." I demand.

"Tell me the name. Or give me the damn number Dad." Sana demand.

I can tell she is planning to kill that person in her head already. She just needs the name right now to execute it.

"Why? What would you do then?" Her mom asks

"We will sue that person. For invading into our personal space. So tell us the name, Mr. Gill." I demand.

"Tell me the name Mom." Sana is getting impatient to know.

"Promise us you will not see this man again. Then I'll tell you." Her Dad has gone mad!

"No. I won't do that for sure. I can leave anything but not him. Understand?"

"You're so stubborn Sana! For God's sake think straight. Leave that old man." Her mother's remark made me upset for sure.

"Old man? Are you fucking serious? He is freaking ten to twelve years younger than you for God's sake." Sana says in anger

"Sana relax." I tried to make her calm but to go in vain. She won't listen to anyone.

"Sidharth let me talk. Please. Give me the God damn name. Right now." She demands like a stubborn child.

I like it now. Her stubbornness.

"Yeah! Right. Just TEN. Isn't it weird to have a boyfriend who is ten years younger than your mom Sana? Huh?" Her mom says in disgust.

"Definitely." Her Dad added.

"This is actually awkward Sana." My words make her more angry

"Will you shut up now?"

"Sorry." I can't fight with her.

"I don't care. I love him. He loves me. That's more important to me. To us. Alright? So, now you better tell me who the fuck gave you those pictures and video?" She demands it again.

They should better give her the damn name now. Or else she will do something stupid in anger.

"Your aunt Surbhi."

"What? That woman?"

"Surbhi? Harman's wife?" I ask to confirm

"Yes."

"How does she get those sitting in Delhi?" I ask in confusion

"Mili is her cousin sister." Her father's words make us shocked.

So that's how I felt I saw her somewhere before. At Harman and Surbhi's wedding.

"Fuck!" I can't believe it.

"What? I can't believe it. That bitch!"

"Sana language." Ms. Divya interrupt her.

"Mum chill. She is a B." She roll her eyes.

"Yes. She is demanding money from us, to keep her mouth shut."

"Oh God Dad!"

Oh God! I know Surbhi had a doubt on us. So, she might have asked her sister to check on us and give her those pictures and video as proof to blackmail her parents for money.

"What a cheap woman she is? God!" Sana says it in disbelief.

Seriously! She has used her sister as a pawn to get us. What if she is the one who asked Ms. Mili acts flirty towards me so that Sana reacts to it. And harm her?

"Holy fuck!" It can be true.

"You both have to cut this relationship right here. Right now."

"Dad! I'm not leaving him. Okay? Do whatever you want to do. I don't care." She said it again.

"I know how to control you. You rebellious stubborn brat."

"What do you mean Dad?" She asked sarcastically.

"You have to choose between Sidharth and the luxurious life you lead as my daughter. With my money."

Has her father gone mad or what? She is his fucking daughter. She has full right on his money. They are earning money for whom? Obviously for her. For her better future.

"Sidharth. I'm choosing my Sidharth. I don't need your fucking money." She says side hugging me.

Oh my God! She just choose me over everything. Her rich lifestyle. Her money. Her family. Her everything. God! She loves me so much. A smile played on my face thinking how much she loves me. No one loved me like she does. Never ever.

"Think before you talk Sana. Can you live a life without all these facilities? The money? The luxurious life you have? Expensive clothes, jewellery, bags and everything that you use? He can't give you all these. Think."

I want to know what she will say to her father right now.

She smiles sarcastically, "I know he can't give me the lifestyle I lead with your money Dad. He is not rich like you. But still he is rich in heart. He loves me. He care for me. He pampers me. He take care of me. He does everything what a family do. What Mum did for me. What you both didn't. Never ever." She yells accusing them for their poor parenting.

I can feel the pain in her voice that how much all these hurting her. Her parents are hurting her.

"Divya is not your mother for God's sake Sana. But I am. She is your caretaker. A nanny." Her mother looked offended.

"Just giving me birth and keeping me in your womb for nine months doesn't make you a mother, Mom."

"Sana!!" Both her parents says in disbelief

"Truth is bitter." She smiles sadly.

"It's not true." Her mother argue.

"Unfortunately, it is. Mom. You never did anything for me. Apart from giving me birth. But Mum," She walks to Ms. Divya and holds her hand.

"She raised me. She took care of me. Feed me. Taught me how to talk. Taught me how to say Mom and Dad. Then how to walk. She stayed awake all night by my side taking care of me when I was sick. She took me to school. Helped me in my homework. Attended my parents teacher meeting. Which you both were supposed to do. As my parents."

Ms. Divya has started to sob already hugging her arms. Mother's love.

"Don't cry Mum. You know I love you." She kisses her forehead then continues, " What have you done all these years Mom? Dad? Nothing. You both did nothing. Just spending money for my expenses doesn't make you a good mother and you a good father Dad." She vented out all she had in her heart.

Maybe all. Or maybe she has more to say. I can tell she have. A child can never hate her own parents like she does. There must be some unsaid story behind it. Which I don't know yet.

"Sana? How can you say that? We are your parents? We love you. We work hard for you. For your better future." Her mother argued.

"But, I don't need all these money Mom. Dad. All I needed was you both. Your love and care. Do you think there expensive stuff makes me happy?"

"You do love..."

"No. I don't love those things Mom. I don't. It doesn't makes me happy. At all. All my life I've been craving for one thing. A happy normal family. So, don't call yourself my parents. Because, you're not. When I needed you both you guys were nowhere. No fucking where. Alright?"

"Sana please stop baby." Ms. Divya tries to stop her. After all it's getting ugly now.

"Not today Mum. They need a fucking reality check from me. Before pointing a finger at me. At you and your upbringing. And at my love, Sidharth. They have no right to dictate over me."

After this Ms. Divya becomes quiet. Letting her do what she wants to do today.

"So, Where were you that time Mom? When I needed you as my MOTHER? Huh? Busy making money? For whom? Or doing something else?"

Last one was a taunt of something. Of what I don't know. I guess some unsaid secret or story.

"You. Obviously. And what do you mean by something else?" She is shocked with her accusation.

"Don't fucking lie to me anymore. I know you well. So do you dad. I know you both very well. After all we are living together here. Huh?" She is taunting them. I don't know what she is trying to say here exactly.

"Sana stop right now." Ms. Divya is again trying to stop her.

"Mum, please. Let me talk. For God's sake."

"Fine."

"Sana can you calm down? Please?" Her dad requested seeing her so angry right now.

"I don't need your fucking money. You can enjoy it with your little wife. And your other whores. For life. I'll choose him, over everything. Even you two."

What? What is she talking about? And! What the fuck with his whores? Her father has extra marital affairs?

"Sana? What are you saying? Your father has no.. He has no one apart from me. Okay? Stop talking nonsense. And focus on your shit. That Sidharth."

"Don't you fucking dare to call my Sidharth shit mom. It won't be good for you and your health." She has gone mad. Totally mad. She is threatening her mother.

"Are you threatening me? To hurt me physically?" Her mother asks in shock

"Sana what's wrong with you? How can you talk with your Mom like this? And I am not with anyone. I love your mother. Okay. Stop making up things on your own." Her father says in his defense.

"I'm telling the truth. You do have whores. So do you Mom. My pretty Preet." She mocked in the end.

God! This is getting nasty.
