Chapter 9: Unraveling Truths
Riya escorted her mother back to their room, her mind swirling with disbelief and confusion. As they settled in, she couldn't shake the surreal feeling that enveloped her.
"Is this real life? Or am I stuck in some bizarre dream?" she muttered to herself, pinching her arm in a futile attempt to awaken from the surreal experience.
"Ah, let me take a moment," she sighed, trying to collect her thoughts amidst the chaos.
Her father's comforting words broke through her tumultuous musings, urging her not to dwell too much on the situation.
"They might just be misunderstanding something. Let's not overthink it," he advised, trying to quell the rising tension in the room.
Meanwhile, Mia's sharp observation about the refrigerator caught her attention. "Look at this tiny fridge; rich people really do things differently," she remarked, pointing at the meager appliance.
As the discussion shifted to the blood sample, Riya couldn't help but voice her concerns.
"What if I take this test to make them leave us alone? Or what if they keep coming back to harass us?" she pondered aloud, her mind racing with apprehension.
Her father's response was measured: "Let's not rush into anything. We'll consider our options carefully."
With that, they pushed the troubling thoughts aside, focusing on the tasks at hand, determined to leave the unsettling interlude behind them.
Meanwhile, in Mr. and Mrs. Kim's hotel room, a similar conversation unfolded. Mrs. Kim questioned her husband's decision to halt their pursuit, but Mr. Kim remained steadfast, urging patience.
The following day, Mr. Sharma received a call from Mr. Kim, reigniting the conversation about the DNA test.
Despite Mrs. Sharma's initial reluctance, Mr. Kim proposed a compromise, offering to cover the test costs and provide compensation if the results were negative. After much contemplation, Mr. Sharma agreed to consider the proposal.
After two days of deliberation, they finally decided to undergo the DNA test. Returning home after multiple hospital visits, they awaited the results with bated breath.
When Mr. Sharma returned with the report, tension filled the air. Mrs. Sharma's trembling hands reached for the report, her heart pounding with fear.
As she scanned the document, her eyes widened in disbelief, and her hands were shaking uncontrollably.
Seeing her distress, Mr. Sharma intervened, taking the report from her trembling hands. As Riya and Mia looked on, their hearts pounding in unison, Mr. Sharma's voice trembled as she uttered the fateful words, "It's positive."
With disbelief etched on their faces, they scrutinized the report together. The realization hit them like a tidal wave, leaving them reeling with shock.
Mia's astonished voice shattered the silence. "This report is actually positive. That means what Mr. and Mrs. Kim said is true! You're the daughter of a rich CEO—maybe even the CEO of km Entertainment!"
Riya's mind raced, unable to comprehend the enormity of the revelation. "No, this can't be real," she whispered, her voice barely audible over the chaos that ensued.
Amidst the confusion, Mrs. Sharma's voice cut through the cacophony, her eyes filled with uncertainty. "What do we do now?" she asked, her voice trembling with trepidation.
As they grappled with the magnitude of the situation, uncertainty loomed over them like a dark cloud. With no clear path forward, they faced an uncertain future, and their lives were forever changed by the shocking revelation.
