chapter 5

Aria's Point Of View,

"Hey welcome back my baby girl, missed you so much, tell me what do you want as your welcome gift", grandma asked me as she came back from the temple just now and I just hugged her so hard and she also hugged me tightly and caressed my hair, no one has any idea that how much I missed her, she was the only best friend I had here and I missed her every single day there.

"Enough, enough baby, I am not going anywhere, just show me your smile baby", she said and just pulled myself back and forced a smile on her, I really missed her smile, her touch, her face, everything about her, I missed it so much.

"My baby has lost a lot of weight, seems like no one was taking care of her there, look at her, how to think she has become", grandma complained to my mom and dad who were looking at me from the upstairs, I am not talking to them coz they send me out from this city and I was crying there every single day for come back but they did not let me come back, but now I have finished my school there and I am an adult too, so I came back and gave them a big surprise, they are not happy obviously but that is not my problem, I already suffered enough coz of them, there is no way that I am gonna listen to them anymore, I am not even gonna look at them.

"No one liked me there grandma, I was missing you so much every single day, there was not any moment when I did not cry and did not miss you, I really missed you so much grandma and I will never leave you again, please do not leave me too", I cried and she just hugged me again, she wiped my tears and kissed my hair, my mom should do this for me, but she is making faces in front of me, she did not even ask me how I am feeling or how did I feel there, why did I come back, she has nothing to say to me, how could she be so mean to me, I am feeling like she does not even love me, I feel like I am not her daughter, I am feeling like I came someone else's home.

"It is fine my baby, I will never leave you and I will not let you go anywhere now, I will se who will dare to touch my baby without her will, I will chop their hands who will try to touch my baby", grandma roared and I liked it as this message was directed to my mom, grandma was warning her that if she tries again to send me away from here, she will not spare her and I just smiled at my grandma as she started caressing my hair.

"Mary, just come and take her stuff inside", grandma called Mary, she is the maid in our house but she is more like a family, grandma told me about her, she joined home just a few months ago and she is so lovely, she takes care of grandma and that is why I am gonna be so nice with her, coz she respects people and I love those people who know how to respects others, she was almost like my age and maybe I could make a new friend in my home, Mary came and looked at me, she was looking at me with weird eyes but when I looked at her she started looking down, but then I passed her a big and warm smile and I saw how her eyes shined, maybe she would be thinking that I will be rude with her, but I just surprised her.

"Hey Mary, I am Aria, I am so happy to see you and thank you so much for taking care of my grandma", I said to her and she smiled at me hard.

"I am so happy to meet you too, she is like my grandma too, it is not a big deal, you have a pair of pretty eyes along with a pretty face". she complimented me while she is pretty too, it is just she is not wearing fancy clothes like me, that is why she is not looking that fancy but she has a pretty face.

"Thank you, Mary, you are sweet too", I said and she just took my stuff inside in a room just beside grandma's room.

"I know that you were coming soon, so I just renovate your room, I hope that you will like your new room so much", grandma told me excitedly and I just hugged her so tight.

"Grandma, I like everything you does for me, so I do not need to see this at all, I am so happy that you did it for me, thank you so much, grandma, you are the best, I just love you so much", I said to her, I looked at my mom as she was still rolling her eyes to me and she just headed back into her room, how could she behave like this to me, she did not even come to meet me, I came back after eight years and she did not even care, I got so sad and grandma just put her hand on my head and passed me a small smile.

"It is fine, just ignore her, you know so well how she is, just do not look at her or else you will feel bad", I heard my dad's voice as he came down and opened his arms for me and I quickly ran into his arms and he hugged me so tight.

"Dad, I missed you so much, why did you send me far away from you, you know that I missed you and grandma so much there, you know that aunt was not even talking to me nicely, no one liked me there and you and mom just send me there like I do not belong to you", I made a sad face and I saw my dad was also so sad.

"I am so sorry baby, I never meant to send you there, I just love you so much, it was your mom who wanted me to send you there, and you know the reason so well, I tried so hard to make your mom understand that we should call you back, but your mom's sister brainwashed her, she always used to say that you are so happy there and she will not send you back, I am so sorry that I did not take a stand for you, but now I am so happy to see you back here and do not worry no one could send you back now, you have your dad's support now, I will support you no matter what and now no one could force you to do things you do not want to do", dad said and I just hugged him tight and I stayed liked that for some time coz I missed this hug so much, uncle never hugged me there, he did not even say to me, he just used to smile at me that it is, I was feeling like I was staying there forcefully coz my mom wants it, but aunt's family made me feel so unwanted, and I would never go to them in this life.

"Do not worry dad, now I am an adult and mature enough, if you will not take my stand that would be fine for me coz I can take a stand for me now and I do not need anyone, I am just glad that you at least thought to support me, that is enough for me", I said and I saw a proud smile on his face as he tapped my back and I felt so proud of myself.

"I am so proud you my baby girl, I did not notice that you have grown up so much, I hope that you can forgive your dad for not staying there for you in your bad times", dad was sounding so upset, so I just hugged him so tight.

"Do not worry dad, I am strong enough to take anything now, just forget the past, okay". It
