Chapter 1: That days which made her to call 'Dad' looking a stranger

"Aranya, why are you so jealous on me that I have got a new husband..? He is your new father at the same time dear.. Don't act as a silly girl. Now wipe out your false tears and train to call him dad, her mother scolded her cruelly. Aranya rushes out to her favourite God's idol and weeps uncontrollably, "This is what my mum says to me everytime my dear krishna... but I swear, I can't accept any stranger as my own father, nobody can replace my father..."

"Then what happened to that tiny girl sir...?" my servant Teona went on asking questions from which I understood how worried was she thinking about that little girl, my daughter's best friend, Aranya.

Aranya was the only daughter of Lisa and Rohit. This threesome family used to live together with little happiness and much fights in Delhi. But situations scrambled up upside down and when Aranya was of 12-13 years old, Rohit left his one and only daughter and his quarrelsome wife with fear in his life. Lisa was so cruel at him and used to torture him like hell. This made Rohit to leave his own home with a dream of flying with a free heart and mind.

Poor Aranya, who was unaware about her mother's wrongness in her treatment towards her father, she blindly listened whatever Lisa used to say about Rohit. Rohit, as a man never ever touched Lisa after the birth of their child. He just stood as a slave for her, or a money bank to Fulfill her needs. But, Aranya knew some mistakes by her own mother made her father to do this, which was absolutely true to the core.

FEW DAYS PASSED.. It was the day of Aranya's higher secondary examinations. She thought she will get blessings from her father at least through a phone call.. But nothing happened.. Lisa was all ready to take revenge against Rohit by not attending his call when he will call. But she is also disappointed now.

While, exams got over and it was that worst condition to continue that mother and daughter's life in such a posh city. So they went to Lisa's home town, Gujarat. Aranya couldn't believe that her father could change in this way... "heartless...!" she murmured as a worrying frog in wait for rainS.. She took great care of her mother, who acted as though she is the daughter of Aranya.. Lisa was afraid of society. She is a woman who is unwilling to find an earning by her own. She feared she will lose her beauty and health if she does job. THAT SITUATION MADE ARANYA TO FIND A JOB WHILE SHE WAS STUDYING.

Lisa started to find her soulmate in different ways. Although Aranya never tried to show her disapproval against Lisa's decision, she kept quiet and watched how long her mother could travel. Aranya tried to distract from these nonsense searches by forcing her to stop from being an unemployed woman, but Lisa went wild if Aranya raises her opinion. She still dreamt of the arrival of her father.. But never happened.
