The Lost Princess

Chapter 9

I used to think I am poor, not that poor but poor. Like I have to work in a cafe because of my financial condition this early, mom used to work three shifts daily in a farmacy, a scholarship student in school, have to worry about bills at the end of the month and save as much as I can.

But , what I don't know that when I will turn sixteen,  my life will also  turn into a freaking wattpad story and out of nowhere, my biological family will find me and takes me to there house and no not house what's infront me standing in all its glory, is not a house . It's a freaking castle, a palace . A majestic big palace, it's walls inclined with finest aritecture and small designs makes it nothing but more beautiful.
 
I gasp more as I look more into it's appearance. I was never interested into monuments and all but this is so fucking majestic that I can't help but gap at it with a open mouth like a fish.

When I was poor, After a tired day sometimes I used to think that all it's used a illusion or a test and soon mom is going to tell me that we are millinore and this was just a test to make me humble. It was a random thought.  I don't know it will turn into my reality.

"Do you like it " the voice of my father interupts me from my admiring session

I look towards him , his gaze so soft that it made me giddy. Nobody had ever looked at me like , so softly like they can't bear me getting hurt. I had craved this , yes mom was enough but I always used to feel jealous of girls who have father, now that I have him , I am not letting it go. Yes, there are so many questions in my mind regarding all of this and ofcourse I am not letting it slide. But for now, I want to feel loved by my father. All of those I missed these years.

After he apologised to me earlier,  I feel like I have accepted him as my father. I think I deserve that apology and now I considered him as my family. To be honest,  earlier when I met Rudransh I was scared that I am going to live with him alone but now that I know my father is also going to stay with me , I think living with them won't be that hard.

"Yes, I love it" I beam at him happily, I had gotten comfortable with him. On the way from New york to here, he asked me about my school, studies, hobbies and everything.
I also told him about me working at a cafe for which he said he is proud of me but there is no need for me to work anymore.

Rudransh "bhai" and Lavanya  part ways with us at airport  and dad said that they are gone for work, so now it's just me and dad in this majestic palace.

"Isn't it too big for two people" I asked him while walking alongside him as we reached the gates of the palace. There is a beautiful garden beside the lake. I made a mental note to visit there later

"Two people? " He pauses then continued "No darling we are total 6 people living here , your five  brothers,  me and now you too" He said smiling

I nod , still walking alongside him admiring the palace

And then it hit me

And it hit me really really hard that I didn't see the threshold of the palace door that we already reached having a step up to climb inside the palace stumbled upon it and fall on the face .

Wow, what a great grand entry in my new house.

Pain shot through my body but before I can get up , a loud laugh boomed in the whole palace. I looked upto to see it belong to a man standing there in his blue half pants and white t-shirt and a black cap on his head throwing his head back and laughing  as if it is the most hilarious thing he had ever encountered in his life.My cheeks reddened in embarrassment knowing what and who he is laughing on. I sat on my kness and try to get up before he can embarrass me more but I couldn't get up because of the pain in my ankle. Dad saw this and come to help me.
