Before Misha could reply, her Chachi came forward " Hanji our Misha was missing us a lot but she herself told me that she was missing you all even more and that's why she asked me to pack her stuff by the time the party finishes so that she can leave with you all and that is why I have already asked the driver to put her stuff in your car" her Chachi smirked

Misha stood shocked not sure what to do. And then she remembered the bitter truth.

** Flashback - just before the party started **

"Chachi why have you called me here?" Misha asked her aunt while confused why her aunt had asked her to come to the office main head office.

"Well the dear Ms.Most important member of the family has arrived huh ??!!" Her chachi smirked

Misha was very confused with this odd behaviour

"I keep telling you to leave the house but no! You are just not listening to me !! How many times I told you but you didn't pay any attention to my words." Her chachi started ranting

"Chachi what has happened? You used to love me and now ?? What has changed please tell me. We are family please tell me.." Misha was getting emotional but she tried to control.

"FAMILY ?? No! You are not my family! In fact you don't have a family"

"Chachi what are you saying ? I don't understand.."
that's when Misha's aunt handed her a file. When Misha opened it, the world beneath her feet shifted.

She reread the entire file and her hands started shaking. Her eyes became teary and her heartbeat stilled.

"How is this ... possible ?" She cried asking her aunt.

"It is the truth, you are not the biological daughter of your late parents. They adopted you. And if you don't leave the house soon then I will make sure that your name is legally removed from our family and business and you are left on the streets! My son Avi who is your elder brother will leave you because technically you are not his sister. All you relations will be waste. You will have no last name and your child ..? Well your child is a bastard anyways to it doesn't matter!!!" Her chachi showed no humanity while saying this.

....... Back to present ........

She looked at her chachi who was smirking and she knew this was her way of throwing her out. The bitter truth hurt so much, her family was not really hers.
Throughout the party she had pretended to be happy, waiting for the party to be over so that she can talk to her grandparents asking them for an explanation about the truth. Even though she herself had seen the adoption papers, she still couldn't believe it.

Her thought was broken when she heard her mother in law smiling at her "I knew you would come back home Misha ... I knew it" she smiled and hugged her.

Finding herself in a desperate situation, she wasn't sure how to say no or yes. My son Avi who is your elder brother will leave you because technically you are not his sister. All you relations will be waste.
She remembered her Chachi's words and knew that she didn't want anyone else, especially her cousins, to know about her adoption.

With a heavy heart she smiled back at her mother in law and left her house to go to Vivan's home.
She decided to sit with her mother in law in her car instead of sitting with Vivaan who was driving his car back home.

Suddenly, she felt a warm touch on her hands and she turned to see her mother in law.
"Beta there is something I wanted to ... to .. share with .. you" her mother in law seemed hesitant.

"Mom please don't hesitate, what is it?"

"Misha beta, actually woh ... Vivaan ... Vivaan didn't know .. that you were .. uh... pregnant" her mother in law saw the surprise on Misha's face " beta please hear me out, when we all found out at the hospital that you were pregnant, I had sent Vivaan home. He kept asking me after that day about what happened to you. I never told him, thinking why does he deserve to know about you. You both were just business partners. And then when weeks later, you both showed up at my door married, I had assumed that he knew about your pregnancy from some other source and that why he married you to save you and your baby." She looked down feeling hurt "but Misha, two months back he asked me whether I knew you were pregnant and I got shocked ... I was betting surprised to know that he didn't know about it. He didn't say anything and left that day. I'm so sorry Misha, I thought he had accepted your child from the beginning but he truly didn't know."

Her mother in law who had started crying in shame and hurt, wiped her own tears and looked at Misha with determination "But don't worry, now he knows and I know him. He is arrogant and strict but he is a good person at heart. He will accept your baby as his I'm pretty sure"

Misha was in shock herself. Not for one minute she had believed that Vivan was unaware about her pregnancy. So he was telling the truth! She thought.

"Mom it's ok, he told me about it all" she said to her mother in law to make her feel better.

———————————————————————————

It has been two weeks since Misha moved back to Vivan's home. Their relation was pretty much non existant. She hardly saw him in the past two weeks. They slept in two different room and she was glad for it. But seeing this her mother in law felt worried that maybe Vivaan had not accept the child. But she let the couple take some time and decide by themselves.

The only time Misha saw him was very morning at breakfast and that's it. He made no effort to see her, to talk to her.

She knew she hated him but still a part of her wanted him to care for her. To ask her how she felt. To touch her with love and care. But she knew she was expecting a lot from a man who had no morals.

She got busy in the office and tried to forget about Vivaan when someone knocked at her door.

"Yes come in"

"Good morning maam, I couldn't find Avi sir but here is the prices for the package he chose with our company. I wanted to ask if he wanted to extend the package for the next month as well or no" the think guy with glasses asked.

"You're name is Subhash right? IT consultants?" She asked him

"Yes ma'am"

"What package had Avi bhaiya chosen? Do you have the details ? I will look over it and then confirm with him"

"Sure ma'am here is the file, it has all the details about the phone numbers that were traced and infiltrated"

"Gr8! Oh and Subhash, I have a job for you. There is a number I have been getting calls from consistently and the person keeps asking to talk to some Shalini. Can you please trace it, I will ask my cousin, who is a private investigator to follow up and see what's about this shalini thing ok?"

"Of course ma'am" and with that Subhash left her cabin.

Misha took the file and was confused about what Avi Bhaiya had done now and whose phone he had hacked now. She knew sometimes, Avi Bhaiya tampered with phones of rivals to get some inside info and always she tried to stop him but he never listened.

she opened the file to read the contents and sighed heavily not believing that he had gone so far this time.

**Later that evening**
Misha entered her maternal home and went straight to talk to Avi Bhaiya.

"Bhaiya ?" She knocked his bedroom door.

In a few minutes, he opened the door and was surprised to see Misha there.
"Arrey Misha, Tum yahaan kya kar rahi ho? (what are you doing here)

She grabbed his hand and dragged him to the nearest balcony.
"Bhaiya what in the world is this??" She seemed angry. She handed him the file she had received from Subhash.

" Misha how did you get this?" he scratched his head not knowing how to justify.

" how I got it doesn't matter Bhaiya!!!! Bhaiya you hacked Vivaan and my phones ?? This file says that you hacked our phones and prevented any communication between the two numbers. So since the past two months, when I texted or called Vivaan he didn't get my calls or texts and when he tried to contact me, I didn't receive anything! Bhaiya why? You knew that I was hurting then why?" She felt hurt.
Vivaan has actually not ignored her, in fact he did try to contact her but she never received anything.

" he was hurting you Misha! Yes he tried to contact you and yes I blocked his number without you knowing but that's because I don't want him to hurt you. I don't know what happened between you after you got married to him but I know that something did happen or else you would not be so sad all the time!"

" but Bhaiya I should get to decide, whom I want to talk to and how to live my life. I wanted to know if he cared for me Bhaiya .... but I was hurt because I thought he didn't even care for me because he never contacted me." She was hurt about everything. She left leaving her brother to think about what wrong he had done, adding to the misunderstandings between two people.

Her life was a roller coaster that was not stopping. One hit after mother. First she finds out that she is adopted then she finds out that Vivaan honestly didn't know about her pregnancy and now she finds out that he had in fact tried to contact her.

All she saw was misunderstandings one after another.
She fell for him. And then She was betrayed by him. She hates him now, Yet she still cares if he tried to contact her or not. Her life looked like a total mess.
Her feelings were a mess too.
She drove unconsciously with no destination in mind. While driving she stopped at the one place where she knew she would find her answers. A place where her parents used to bring her every week when they were alive.

She got out of the car and she was glad that she had something to cover her head easily.

She covered her head with her dupatta and walked barefoot to the entrance of the place playing the most soothing sounds—- shabads (similar to bhajans in temples)

{ For Sikhs or Hindu Punjabi's, the term Shabad has two primary meanings. The first context of the term is to refer to a hymn or paragraph or sections of the Holy Text that appears in Guru Granth Sahib, the main holy scripture of the Sikhs. ... The script used for the Shabad is Gurmukhi. Shabads are continuously played at the gurudwaras. }

She bowed her head in front of the holy Guru Granth Sahib ji and sat listening to the melody of god. Her heart ached and she wanted some peace. But she didn't know that here at the Gurudwara, god would actually answer her prayers ...

Hello readers

When we all are in times of suffering, we look up to someone who can guide us, it could b conscious or unconscious.
It is said that many times, god himself calls his disciples to him in order to bless them.
Misha is also suffering, she is hurt and in pain and maybe that is why god had asked her to come to his door and bless her.

The next chapter will continue from here
