Waiting for morning is a pain in the ass...I couldn't sleep for the entire night even though I was dead tired! I wanted to take my sleeping pills but my psychiatrist, about whom I recently got to know that she is my mausi (mother's sister), has waved a strict 'no' 'no' to them. According to her, I was becoming an addict to these medicines and I needed to stop immediately.

I had nothing to talk to Arjun about so I prayed that I don't see his face today but unfortunately I got Pooja's reminder right when I opened my room's door about the Thaka Ceremony.

Ughh...that's a small get together of family and close friends just before the hectic schedule of all the rituals and functions begin.

I don't know what sort of drama is waiting for me today. It was way too much yesterday. A lot of drama and the timing was also amazing.

Arjun got to know about his kids and though he sounded that he believed me and not through lame remakes over me, he asked for a proof through a DNA test which I am certainly not planning in any situation.

I got to know about my reality. The bitter reality that I am an illegitimate child. My parents couldn't stay together and that Aahil is my step brother.

I guess I should stop worrying now. There's nothing that can change any of the facts mentioned above and I know I cannot even wish for anything like this so ignoring everything that happened last night, I stood up and prepared well for the Thaka. I knew I couldn't afford a dull face and unexplainable looks.

All my face packs and my best Indian dresses came on a display. Arjun didn't show up again and I thanked my stars for it but little did I know that it was a joy of just an hour.

The moment I took a bath and changed into my casuals, I got another call from my Pooja telling me there was someone downstairs waiting to meet me.

"For me? Are you sure?" I asked, confirming it was really me she was talking about.

"Yes ma'am. Confirmed," She confirmed and I was like, 'who the fuck is it?' and at the same time I was also a little scared, 'what if it's Aahana and Aryan with all my friends?'

Damn!

I quickly rushed downstairs thinking what if Aahana and Aryan are here and I was also a little furious. Nothing was going the way I wanted things to go. It all happened so suddenly. I don't want Arjun to meet them or get close to them in any case. It's not like if he files a custody, I wouldn't be able to fight back or something with good legal arguments, it's just that I don't want my children to face a situation where they will have to choose between their mother and father. I never got a choice but even if I would, I don't know why but I might have chosen none of them. Yeah! And that's true.

The moment I descended downstairs, I was greeted by a set of three people and all of them had a smiling face. Ofcourse I was shocked to see them here but how could I forget, it was their house.

"Amaya?" Came Rhea's voice and I was like, Rhea??? Is that really you?

She had changed completely. From long, waist length hair to red coloured, blunt hair. From high hells to high knee length flat boots. She looked like a rockstar.

I walked to them slowly, confused and shocked at the same time and took my own sweet time to hug Rhea.

I touched Arjun's mom and dad's feet and they blessed me and also hugged me.

"How are you?" Asked mom. (My third mom...hilarious)

"I am great and you all say," I enquired as a courtesy.

"We are all good. And where's bhai?" Asked Rhea.

"Preparing for his wedding," came my smart mouth reply and I was like...yeah yeah! Ofcourse.

Suddenly, everyone's face fell down and they started looking at me in pity. But why? I am not sad or upset or hurt. I have no emotions!

"Amaya...we tried-"

"Why? You shouldn't have!" I said.

"Just think Arjun and you weren't meant to be," Rhea said giving me a side hug.

"I already knew it," I asserted.

"What did you know?" And all four of us turned around in horror to find grandma looking at us with confused looks.

"Answer me Amaya," she demanded as her maid pushed the wheelchair towards us.

"Umm...I knew th-" I was stuttering when Mom's reply came.

"Your favorite grandson, the one whom you trust so much is going to marry Disha. That is what Amaya knew," she said angrily.

I don't know what made her so furious. Why didn't she refer Arjun as her son but grandma's favorite grandson in such a spiteful way.

"Mom...I think-" I tried to interrupt but Dad (third one...) stopped me and said, "Let her say Amaya. Maa (granny) should know everything,"

And I knew he wasn't wrong. We had no rights to keep her in dark.

"What do you mean Naina?" She asked. Horrified and tensed she looked at me also at the same time.

"Yes...and Arjun is going to divorce Amaya," she said and I felt really bad for us. This isn't how I thought my divorce would be.

"But...Amaya yo-you came bac-back..."
And grandma started getting some attacks or something but she was hushed down with an injection. Her maid drew her wheelchair to her room and she slept.

"Amaya...I don't know what's wrong with Arjun but for sure we want to let you know that you can surely refrain from being a part of this wedding. I know its disastrous to see things like this and I think you should just-" Arjun's voice interrupted us as he said, "Amaya has to be a part of this wedding. After all, she's such a special guest,"

And this comment of his made my blood boil but I had to control it in front of his parents.

"Listen, when I am not talking to you, don't come and talk to me either," I said, angrily.

"I am not talking to you darling," he said as he touched his parents feet and asked them about their trip. Rhea just walked off and his parents didn't care answer him properly. Their focus was on me and I had no clue what the fuck was going on in his brain.

Sigh!

I went upstairs after this little reunion and Arjun followed me. I was already a little pissed off and Arjun was again following me making me more angry.

I don't have to care...

I chanted this in my brain. The moment I went inside the room, I realised he came inside too and just to avoid him, I locked myself inside the walk-in wardrobe.

"The theme is blue," he shouted from outside and I made another annoying face and started searching for blue dresses.

See, don't think I am excited or something about this. I am just going back to that place because I want to know more about everything. Arjun will create problems for me too of I don't obey him so why attract problems?

After doing an hour of research, I found some really shitty clothes which were again something I wouldn't care to wear in the get together so I decided to go for a shopping and Ofcourse, in my very own store only!

I took my purse, stuffed my phone and lip gloss inside it and rushed outside the room without even lookin at Arjun but I had to face his question answer session once again.

"Yes...say," I made an annoyed face.

"Where are you going?" He asked.

"To hell. Wanna join me?" I asked.

"Tell me Amaya," he asked again.

"Shopping," I replied and just left. I cannot tolerate him anymore. I just cannot and maybe it's because of his want for a DNA test.

I decided to let the driver accompany me and Mark! He can never leave me alone. After about an hour, I reached my destination, which is the shopping mall and quickly hopped into one of my brands, 'Oakflower'

I selected some really nice dresses and was just going to try them when my phone went off and it was Arjun's call.

I didn't pick it up and kept my phone back on silent. It kept on ringing for a few more times and then I received a message, "Amaya, where are you?"

I ignored the message and tried my first dress. The phone kept on ringing and I answered the call in irritation when I changed back to my normal dress and exited the trial room.

"What?" I answered angrily.

"Amaya, get out of that mall right now," he yelled from the other side.

"What happened now?" I asked, ignoring the intenisty of the situation.

"Amaya...listen to me, just get out of the mall right now and just drive off somewhere with Mark. Keep me informed and DON'T TAKE THE CHAUFFEUR WITH YOU," he ordered and now I sensed the urgency of the situation.

"Arjun tell me the matter," I said.

"You don't have time," he replied and I didn't know what to do apart from following his command.

Hello everyone! This is just a filler update. The drama awaits in the next chapter.

Okay...so I really would like to know what you feel about the chapter, the characters and the book!

Now, let me come to the main topic. I have started getting Hate comments and bashing in my inbox and one amazing user bashed me on my message board!

@Candyfloss_323444

This girl is crazy. I reported her too but by contacting a few friends if mine, I realised she had bashed them too and I was her prey this week.

I don't need anything like sympathy and all but anyone who has a nice smart mouth, please do talk to her! (Actually, I am laughing at her lameness)

Anyways, forget all this and tell me what's up for Amy in the next chapter?

Please please do comment and vote!
