The Double Celebration

For each passing second in grave silence, Aarvi could feel her erratic heart slowly numbing. She was losing hope of having a family or was she being too expectant? Anyway, she knew she would overcome this too and live on. 

But 'will this affect me and Aaron too?' She didn't want to be the reason for the disturbance in the Rivas family.

The perfect family image in her head felt like an exaggeration and fantasy just written on the books and displayed in the drama. But in reality, you will be supported if you are filial and obedient. If you aren't good enough, one should be ready to have their own life of struggle.

Clenching her fist, Aarvi breathed slowly. She hadn't cried, thankfully. The moisture in her eyes would dry up soon so she stood up still having the serene smile. She thought to let them talk without troubling them.
