The Unwanted Princess

part-31

"there are friends, their is family and then their are friends that become family."

"Well, I'm his soon to be Bhabi  obviously he will come to meet me" she didn't miss the small glare Ritisha threw her way neither could she let go of the chance to instigate her.

"You're just repeating what I said, he'll be here just for you" she heard her reply quite clearly in the dark night and didn't at all miss, the way she rolled her eyes. Was it really just a crush or something else she didn't know but a warning should be recited now.

"Raizada's and Oberoi's don't mix well" her tone was ominous a clear warning to stay clear of a certain Raizada's path.

"Like the Oberoi's mix well with anyone, they've more enemies than friends and still claims to be the king's" their was a certain bitterness and anger in her tone, a rage against her own family which enemies could manipulate so easily and Anya would have gladly thought herself enemy if her heart didn't constrict painfully everytime the thought of her family getting hurt arised in her mind, the way panic dances in her eyes with every news of assanination attempts at her father and the culprit's still not found but she can't let it show, no let the world think Anya doesn't have any attachments to the Oberoi's.

"The Kings always have enemies but if the king has no one watching his back, if the Queen isn't what she should be then the empire will crumble in seconds. The older dynasty will become just ash and a new dynasty will be built from those ashes. A younger more beautiful queen will come and snatch everything the queen held dear." Her lips curved in a perfect smile and her eyes turned a shade darker, from glass sky to an ocean reflecting the night sky, darkness swirling under the terrifying waves waiting for the right moment to drag you in depths of eternal darkness where sun rays never reaches and Ritisha didn't know what to think of her words as she looked at the girl she doesn't know shinning on the face of sister she always knew.

She knew the sister who cared for all of them equally, the sister who wiped all of their tears and took their blames, even when the others didn't value her efforts and the chances she was giving them. The sister whose father was always sent away just like her parents, the sister whose eyes always shines brightly when her father was home, doting on her. The sister who knew no one will taunt her in her father's presence and she walked as if she was invincible whenever Shivaaye papa was home but those days were rare occurrences, Shivaaye papa was always forced on foreign tours after that incident never given a chance to stay and heal his broken family just like her parents always moving around the world and coming home for just few days. She knew the sister who will hug her tightly whenever she had nightmares, the sister who'll sing her songs and tell her stories. The sister who'll sacrifice her all for her family. She knew Omisha and Shivika didn't believe her when she told them that if Omisha had even once told Shivanya that she loved Nikhil, Shivanya would have happily backed away but they didn't believe her. She loved all of them along with their faults, Shivika could do anything for the people she loves and Omisha Di's whole life was spent being the idol oberoi daughter, not any scope for mistakes. She practiced day and night to come out perfect at everything. She couldn't have any flaws in her appearance or talents and so she was pushed extra hard and Ritisha never got what were they really trying to make her, a trophy wife cause that's all she can think when she looks at Omisha Oberoi.

And as much as she loves all of them she isn't blind to their flaws for Shivika first impressions are everything and unfortunately Shivanya di's first impression on Shivika wasn't good and they all are still bearing the burnt of that flaw. She can feel the envy filled glances of Shivika towards her  when Anya chooses her over all of them. When the family breakfasts or dinners that Anya Di scarcely attends. She'll always sit beside Shivaaye papa or her and she can see the regrets and envy shinning in Shivika's eyes knowing she won't ever have that relationship with her elder sister. She doesn't even know who her elder sister really is and she couldn't just make her mind to inform Shivika that even she sometimes have difficulty in spotting the girl she knew in the women standing beside her.
