Dad's Funeral

Aarush, I cannot handle anymore truths or emotions now, it really pains me deeply. Is there any more left now!?" I asked. Aarush said, "NO, no Rooh, there's nothing now, no more secrets. You take rest..."

(Knowing the fact that he loves me, but decided that, will never express me those feelings, because of my health....)

He went outside my room and sit on the couch in the hall. Scroll the pictures; he took secretly on my farewell day. Tried a lot to delete, but couldn't, he kept the phone aside and tears no longer hold inside.

(Phone Beeps)

"Is she alright!?" Sharon messaged.

"Yeah, she had her lunch and now she's sleeping..."

"Did you told her about we're leaving!?" texted Sharon.

"Yup, she's ready to go but she's really upset", he replied.

"Ok then, will meet you tomorrow at 9 in the morning"

(Next Morning)

He knocked her room; she quickly opened it and was already ready, one hour before we depart, and said, "You woke up... I was about to come and see you..." (I move outside the room and he was quite shocked that the one who was crying whole night, woke up early and behave so normal as if nothing has happened...) "So, when we are leaving!?", I continued. "At 9... Breakfast is ready in the table, you have it", he said. And, we together have it. He was staring me that something strange is going on and he doesn't know what it is. "So, what's your profession!?" I asked. He ignored and said, "Pack your bags soon, Sharon must be on his way!!!" I repeated again, but Sharon arrived and said, "Good morning Miss". "It's time to leave", he continued.

I angrily get up and went to my room, packed my bags. "What happened!?" said Sharon. "Nothing, she asked my profession and I ignored.", Aarush said it in a casual tone. "Why don't you tell her about it, about what you did, in college time for her when she was being raped, about you really love her these many long years...? And...." Sharon is speaking. "Be quiet, I don't want to share any pain with her, my love is not important and, about that college incident, she might have been forgotten..." Aarush said. "But... A... Aarush", Sharon tried to complete, but Aarush interrupted and said, "Stay silent, she's here..."

I reached near them, and walked the stairs and tried to put the luggage in the car, Sharon came and helped me but not Aarush and this made me more aggressive. I opened the door, sat and shut it loudly. Aarush sat next to Sharon, while Sharon drove till airport.

(After we reached India)

I could see General already arrived to receive us. Aarush and Sharon saluted, and, General said, "Your job for till now is done, you both may leave, work on the project left before this" Aarush and Sharon saluted and went without even looking me, I felt like, I want to be with them, don't know why, leaving Aarush like this, won't feel good for me. General lead, I and we ended up in Dad's funeral, where I could see my fake family standing and Dr. Joy is supporting to Dr. Avantika, my real mother. Far away, I could see a black Scorpio is standing, two men came out and stand in a uniform of Indian Armed Forces, walking close enough, I found that they were Aarush and Sharon in that uniform.

I was shocked, and pretend to ignore them. After the funeral, I tried to reach Aarush but, I couldn't find both. I moved my car to meet Dr. Avantika, so I reached her home first. I found that my real mom and fake family are together sitting in the hall. Dr. Avantika was looking upset, seeing me, she said that, she's glad at least she have me now, both the families, where talking about my marriage with anyone of the generals so that I would be save. I asked them, "Save from?? And why Marriage, Is it necessary!??" Dr. Avantika told that dad was devoted to his work, he never involved his family in his profession, but because of this unwanted incident, and dad's family will be affected or attacked from the terrorists, as they knew everything about his family now. I hold Dr. Avantika's hand said, "Mom, I'll do whatever you'll say, but, keep this family with you, so that I would be in a relief that you're fine, give them a space her, in this house, also, because of these people we met today, I feel very sad that I couldn't met dad..." She cried holding me and hugged me tight. She agreed to keep my other half family with her.

Mom said, "I've seen a leader of Team A and you have already met him.... He would me fine to protect you... So... Here he is..." She watched a man coming from entrance door; I turned back and looked whom my mother had decided for marriage, I was expecting Aarush to be here, as I feel more comfortable with him than anyone else.... But Sharon entered and walked towards us.
