Chapter-51

Shraddha Kumar Malhotra POV

He loves me and he confessed his love to me.

I love you my monkey monster.

I asked many questions to clarify my mind from confusion and without any hesitation he answered very patiently.

We got separated from our little love conversation by Dad's booming angry voice.

We both got startled and quickly distanced ourselves from each other and I went to washroom to change my last night party's dress.

After changing my dress, I came downstairs to see Dad throwing newspaper at Aaron's face.

What has happened? Why is dad so angry? What is there in the newspaper?

Everyone was present in the hall and Dad was scolding my brothers also.

And my not so innocent sisters-in-law were giggling at their boyfriends.

I also wanted to laugh seeing my husband's expression but I stopped myself.

But what is there in the newspaper? I gave a quick glance to Divya who was smirking at me. But why?

I took the newspaper to see what is there but got the biggest shock of my life.

My husband was kissing some other girl and that was published in news. Her face was not visible clearly but that bracelet, I had seen it somewhere.

You dumb head that is not some other girl. Idiot! That is you and here you are the one who is kissing him. My brain scolded me.

How can I be so dumb to not notice it?

You are right, I'm an idiot.

Ahhh! I hate embarrassing myself in front of my family members.

Now I got the view of how I confessed my love to him, how I behaved possessively saying he is mine, and how I kissed him.

I blushed remembering the kiss which I initiated first.

"Aaron what is this and who is this girl and why is she kissing you?" Dad asked glaring at him.

I should be the one to answer him that I was the one who kissed him.

"How dare you cheat my daughter? And who is that girl? I want to meet her for ruining my daughter's life," he demanded fuming in anger.

Aww! I love you Dad. You love me more than your son.

"Dad do you really want to meet that girl?" Aaron asked smirking at me.

Ahh! That smirk on his face. I want to wipe off that smirk on his face.

"Yes."

"Are you sure dad?" Shreya asked smirking at me and the remaining members were giggling at me, even my brothers.

I want to hide myself somewhere from these people who are not so innocent.

My monkey monster and his monster sisters were laughing at me.

"Why are you all laughing now?" he asked making everyone shut their mouths.

Aww! Thank you Dad.

Suddenly, Aaron caught my wrist and pulled me in front of him and now I was face to face with Dad.

Idiotic monkey monster.

"Dad, your not so innocent daughter is the one who kissed me," he said making me embarrassed in Dad's eyes.

I quickly hid my face in Aaron's chest so as to not face anyone.

I thought Dad would get angry but to my dismay he was laughing and Mom too joined him.

Everyone present in the hall were laughing clutching their stomachs. I gave Aaron one look indicating that if he didn't stop then I'd kill him for sure.

"Guys stop laughing. My wife can't handle it anymore," he teased making me glare him more.

Ahh! This man... How can someone be so teasing?

I never thought he'd be like this.

"Aaron, don't you think after this they'd target Shraddha?"

"I know Dad but see here, her back is facing the front. It means that they don't know her face clearly," he assured.

"Ok children, carry on. I am going," he said making his way to their room with Mom.

"Guys, I want to announce something," Aaron asserted making me turn towards him for his attention.

"Who are the fans of secret singer Ms. Radha?" he questioned making my eyes go wide.

I don't want anyone's attention. Why are you doing this husband? I don't want to become famous. I want to live a normal life, like a simple girl.

I glared at everyone who were looking eagerly at him.

"Dude, you know I am a fan of her singing," Varun brother smiled in excited tone.

I glanced at Divya to see her looking at me nervously. I gave a look that everything was fine. She sighed in relief.

I saw Ishaan brother who was glaring at Aaron, ready to pounce at him. I don't want something bad to happen here.

"Brother you know, I am super big fan of Ms. Radha. I'm dying to meet her. Please tell me who she is," Shreya said making me smile at her with happiness.

I didn't know that he'd announce it in this way. My secret identity!

"Aaron you know that I am searching for her everywhere. Do you know who is she?" Sitara asked him.

"Do you really want to know who is that girl?" he asked everyone.

"Yes," they all chorused in unison.

"Meet Mrs. Shraddha Aaron Malhotra," he unravelled holding my wrist forward.

"We know sister in law is your wife. No need for introduction," Shreya said frowning at him.

"Hey dumbo! She is Radha," Sitara said.

"You mean to say she is Radha whom you are searching for from past two years?" Ishaan brother asked.

"Yes," he replied grinning widely.

"Princess why didn't you tell me? Why did not you trust me to share your secret?" Brother asked.

I didn't give any answer to him. All came and hugged me and asked many questions but I didn't give any answer. I think he understood my discomfort and diverted them to some other topic.

I could see Karthik also having the same question in his mind. I know I did wrong by hiding the truth from both my brothers who love me to the core.

I know they will hate me now for hiding from them. Before they go from here, I have to clear their doubt that why I kept it as a secret.

"Karthik and Ishaan brother I want to talk with you both alone." I sent a message to them.

I was waiting for them in my room. I heard the sound of door clicking. I turned to see both had hurt expression on their faces.

"I am sorry brother and Karthik. I know I did a mistake by hiding the truth from both of you. I have hurt you," I said with tears in my eyes.

"I don't want the world to know that I am the person who is Ms. Radha. Karthik if you had gotten to know that I was singing you'd have announced to the world." I chuckled realising how he'd have loved to announce to the world that I was his sister.

"You know I hate attention from people. I got to know about Dad. He was also a singer and he faced problems while achieving his dream. That's why he was against my dream but I didn't want to give up on my dream so easily; I started singing secretly. I knew if I had asked you, you would've helped but I hate taking help from people. So I kept it a secret from you. Sorry Karthik," I apologised.

"It's ok Sis but after this, you're not hiding anything from me. I won't forgive you next time," he emphasised sternly making me smile.

"Brother I am really sorry." I held my ears.

Brother didn't give a single glance to me. I nudged Karthik to help me.

"Brother forgive her. She won't hide anything from us from next time."

"She gave a reason to you Karthik. But she didn't trust me to share this with me," he said in a hurtful tone making me cry for the person who loved me like his own sister. I didn't trust him to share.

I sat beside brother and took his hands in mine.

"Brother I know I did wrong by hiding it from you. I wanted to share it with you but I don't know why I couldn't shared. I thought it's not important," I confessed amidst tears.

"You didn't trust me," He said making me cry more.

"Yes I trust you Brother, more than myself." I was convincing him to make him understand that he was important to me.

"You trust me, right; then why did you not say that you were the girl Aaron was searching for," he argued.

"I got to know two months back that I was the girl he was searching for. I tried to tell you but you were busy in your projects and then you went to abroad. I forgot to tell you after your return because you said you love Divya. I thought it wasn't important and it wasn't the right time. I wanted to know that Aaron loves me or Radha."

"I am really sorry brother next time onwards I won't hide anything from you. Won't you forgive your princess?" I tried appeasing.

"Only this time and next time onwards I won't even talk with you, ok," he relented making me smile.

"I am really sorry to both of you," I said hugging them.

"Ok, I am happy for you. Finally, you got your loving prince," bhai said making me blush.

"Even we got the proof," Karthik said hi-fying with him.

"I hate you both." I averted my face in sadness.

"But we both love you so much," both said making me smile.

First I want to kill my husband for revealing the secret. And second I want to thank him for revealing.

I had never thought I'd hurt the people by hiding it.

Thank God for giving me this beautiful family.

"Not only these both idiots but we also love you," everyone said entering the room making me glee with happiness.

We were enjoying dancing, giggling, laughing, and messing everything here and there.

I walked towards the kitchen to bring some juice for everyone. In this happiness, I forgot about my ankle pain.

If they get to know about this, they will kill me for sure.

But I didn't know that I'd bring another problem by falling on the same ankle. With the sound of loud thud everyone came and glared at my carelessness. I gave puppy eyes for my mistake.

I never thought that Sitara was a bodyguard as well as a doctor. She checked my ankle and said that I'd gotten hurt two times on it. More pressure on it led to swelling. She slightly squeezed there and I screamed in pain.

All gave a questioning glare to me asking to explain everything.

I gulped nervously with their angry glares.

I have to explain everything now.

Shraddha you are gone now.............................
