chapter 5

I got a way to know the truth, I also wanted to know how things happened by me couldn't even be remembered by me. When I opened that pendrive to see those  videos, I realised they were right . I couldn't even open it after just seeing the thumbnail. It was nothing less than a porn video. Whatever it might be but I needed to see that to know the truth. When I played those videos I realised those were edited. Those were not me, I was sure about it because of the birth mark I have on my shoulder were not there in those videos. Then someone might have tried to hurt me intentionally. That was the conclusion I reached at that time. I hurriedly ran to my father to say all these things to him, so that he could stay relaxed for time being. But it was a surprise that my whole family was there and was discussing about something. I thought it would be good to let them all know this news together.I was about to went in but my foot stopped after hearing things which was difficult to believe. "Birlas are asking for their money!" My mother surprisingly asked my father. Money! Which money! What money are they talking about! How my family owes them money! I never knew something like this! "Yes, they are asking for their money which they gave us for our business and for marriage arrangement" my father replied. My parents took money from Omm for my marriage and business! I was shocked when I heard it from their own mouth. But who knew it was just starting there were a lot of surprises were waiting ahead of me."Did we demanded money from them! It was them who didn't want to get humiliated by our social status and gave us money to expand business and   to make this marriage lavish. Why are they saying to return it now?" My mom shouted."Slow down mom, what if sister hears you! You know how honest and self righteous person she is" My younger sister Ambika said. "What honesty! And what  righteousness ! If she is a righteous person then I'm Rita Ambani" my mother said. "Mom! Please..." Ambika said."We don't have that much money now, we spent it all...what do they intend to do with us! Are they going to send us jail for this!" Mother said."No.... Why are you so negative! They just want one thing from us" my father said."What is it?" My mom asked."They just want us cut our ties with Gauri and get her out of this house" father said."Is it all? I thought they are demanding something big" my mother said."She is just a child we picked up from trash because we didn't have any child but one year later our daughter born. I was thinking to throw her out but she was sweet and was a good helping hand. When she grew she looked very beautiful, we kept her with is because we thought she would bring a rich groom home and that's also happened. Everything was going alright, we would have got some more money after this marriage and she would have got a good rich husband. but who knew she would do something so shameful" Mother said."Mom, what are you saying! Dad, is it true? Sister is not my real sister!" Amibika asked. "It's true dear, this is how world is people don't know who to repay kindness of others" Mother said."Oh! Stop it and get to the point. What should we do now?" Father asked. "What to think about it! Let's just do some emotional blackmail and send her away from our lives. This is what  God gave us for picking up an orphan, so what could we do now!" Mother said. It was hard to believe anything infront of me. I thought It was a nightmare and I should wake up from it. So I pinched my wrist so hard that it became red and it hurt a lot but I feel no pain at all. Because my heart was suffering more than the outer pain.God was playing a joke with me from the start. No, I was a joke from the beginning. Everything was a lie, my life was a lie......After living twenty five years of my life I felt my life was fake, I was living a fake life. The family, the relationship everything was fake. I couldn't realise while thinking this I went out of my house. I thought I couldn't see my family's act after knowing whole truth. So, to make their work easy I myself walked away. I didn't knew where was I going and I didn't knew where should I have gone. I didn't even realise the passing time. I couldn't handle those shocking truth and fainted on the road. After that when I opened my eyes I was lying on a govt hospital medical bed and saline was going in my body. I was confused for a moment then I realised I was in hospital. From them I heard I was picked up by passer by people and sent to hospital.It was already night and medical didn't kick me out. So, I stay there for that night. I had neither money nor any things with me. All I got was one pair clothes and one pair shoes. Rather than that there was no jwelleies also on me.I was happy that I got to stay in there for that night. Next day I couldn't stay there so I got myself discharged from there. I was just wondering what to do and where to go, there another misfortune was waiting for me. The police men came and arrested me. when I asked them for reason, they said Omm Birla charged defamation case against me.Defamation! I couldn't help myself and laughed. My reputation was damaged, my family threw me away, my whole life was spoiled but I was the one who got arrested for defamation! It was the big joke of the year. I also couldn't help but laugh on my own fate.But I was happy for getting arrested because I had no where to go so I could spent my one night at the police station....
