Hello Pretty People, I am back with another chapter

Hope you will like it and will give me your feedbacks

"SONIA" I shouted after coming out of my room. There is no response, the house is completely empty. I go to her room but it is also empty. "Where the heck did she go?" I say to myself. After looking for her in the whole house I decide to call her and she picks up in 3 rings.

S: Hello

R: Where are you? Do you really think you will be safe if you run away from here?

S: I am at Mrs. Verma's house. There is a kitty party going on and I want to enjoy it. The talk can wait. I will be home in the evening then we'll talk about everything. Now let me enjoy this party. Bye bye.

R: Hello? hello? hello?...

Before I can say anything she hangs up the call. I don't know what to do, I want to drag her here so we can talk but I don't want to leave my daughter alone here. Not anymore.

I sit next to my daughter. She is looking so weak and pale, I never wanted to see her like this. I failed in being a good father to her, I can't even fulfill the promise I made to Nikita.

"I am sorry Tara, your father was not here when you needed me the most." I cry in front of my unconscious daughter.

Finally after a long time I hear the main gate open and close and I know she is here and now she will answer my questions.

I stand up and kiss my daughter's forehead and leave the room. Outside I see Sonia is sitting on the sofa with her eyes on me. I can't believe she is the same woman who I married, I can't find that woman anywhere, now all I am seeing is a money hungry woman who can do anything for money and connections.

The smell of alcohol in the room is strong, making me want to puke. I can see she is not in a state to talk but this talk will happen now before my daughter wakes up. I go to the kitchen and fill the jug full of water and throw it on Sonia making her yell in anger. "What the fuck Raghav" "I hope you are sober enough now so that we can talk. I want to finish all this before my daughter wakes up." I speak, my voice is full of anger.

She chuckles as if everything that is happening is amusing for her "What is there to talk about, it is exactly just like what you saw this morning. I love Rishi and we have been together for 8 years now." I am shocked after getting this new information. For 8 years she has been seeing that guy behind my back and I didn't know anything.

"If you were so in love with that guy you could have just told me and I would have let you go. Why would you cheat behind my back and what did you do to my daughter?" I ask everything that is going in my mind.

"Ohh I cheated because it was fun and your daughter also knows about Rishi did she not tell you? Awww poor you." she taunts "And about your daughter I did what I thought was right for making her a normal person. She is just like her mother, after all fruit doesn't fall far from the tree." She speaks with disgust. I can't believe this is how she thinks about my daughter and Nikita.

"Why do you hate her so much? She is just a child, a child who needs a mother. I trusted you with my daughter but you broke my trust just for some money. I know I was not a good husband to you but I tried to be a good friend but you were just playing with me and my daughter. How can you be so evil?" I shout at her.

"I don't hate her, I loathe her from my heart. She is the daughter of that woman who ruined my life. She snatched you away from me. I thought I would marry you but she ruined my dream. She took everything I wanted so how can I like the daughter of that vile woman. Whenever I look at her I get reminded of all the things I lost and if not mother then the daughter will pay for breaking my dreams. When she died, I thought now you will love me but I was wrong because for you your daughter was the only thing that mattered. I also wanted your love but you were so busy that you didn't even look at me. So I thought I would snatch your most precious thing from you – your daughter." She yells at me. Her eyes are red due to anger and alcohol and she looks like a mad woman right now. I knew she liked me but I thought after my marriage with Nikita she would have moved on. I married her because my parents forced me to. I regret making her part of me and my daughter's life.
