Alena smiled hearing this. Walking near her mother, she hugged her tightly and in return her mother got emotional.
'I'm sorry mother but whatever I will do is only for myself.' Alena's heart hurts thinking of the drastic step that she will take soon. It will surprise everyone but they are the ones who have put her in this situation where she has to put and prioritize herself first.
If they have listened to what she wanted and not forced the things over her head she won't go for the next option but then, her eyes traveled towards her father who was standing near the door.
"Alena, you know that whatever we are doing is for your happiness. we know where our child would be happy in the future and would have a secured future." Her mother spoke while breaking the embrace.
She looked at Alena with her shining eyes and Alena simply nodded her head.
"You look beautiful my child. But I'm happy that you have accepted your faith now." Her father's stern voice can be heard but she didn't reply back to him at this point. He was still bent on sending her away like a piece of luggage instead of treating her as a regular daughter.
her brother also reacted in a rude way, which makes her really think once, if he is really her real brother? "You must be happy that I'm going now," Alena said.
"How can I be happy? I'm your brother and I want what's good for you. If you will be happy there then I will let you go. at the end of the day, you are my precious sister." Her brother tried to sound happy and excited for his sister.
But deep down, she thought, 'You never acted as an elder brother ever in my life. Am I really your precious sister?' Alena highly doubted that.
But then there was a most awaited question in her mind. She wanted to ask it right now before everything begins.
Lifting her face she looked at her father through the veil and asked him once again, "I have accepted but I only wish to know one last thing before the marriage."
"Girls leave. We need a few minutes with our precious daughter before she becomes someone else's wife." her father said to all the cousins that were present there and they left quietly.
The family of four was left in the room alone and Alena knew that she had to ask this. At least for her own self-satisfaction.
Looking at her father with her mist eyes, she can't help but ask if straightforwardly, without beating around the bush.
"Tell me honestly, what has Reyan offered you all to make me marry him? I know that you all are getting something in return otherwise.. you would not let him marry me so easily and happily. what made you agree?"
Her question was no less than, lending an opportunity to get hurt. She knew that their answer would hurt her but on the second note, she also knew that it would name her stronger. She will be able to decide what she what's to do in her life easily.
Her father looked at her with this deathly glare but this time, Alena didn't bulge back even for a second. Her eyes show the total determination to know more.
"Are you so keen to know about it? Why can't you get married in peace, knowing that your family will live happily?" Her father asked.
"Are you concerned about my happiness? No, right. All I'm asking you is the truth and you aren't telling me this also. Nice.." her tone was sarcastic.
But her father didn't step back at this point. He looked calm and as if, he has done nothing wrong till now.
"Reyan offered us a big sum of money which will be utilized for generations! How can we leave this offer? Moreover, he was even willing to offer us a company that your brother will handle all in return for you."
Her eyes teared up. 'Am I know nothing in comparison, just a few loan sums for them! They actually sold me out not for free but for money?'
This was a total heartbreak, a setback that she received from her parents. Deep down, she knew that there would be something like this but now, listening to it from their own mouth hurts like hell!
They are sending her away, in exchange for some money. Does her happiness cost a few million? Why? Is she garbage for them who they raised for so long?
Alena knew that, now, in their eyes, her worth is nothing. For them, she might be long dead and now, it is simply a formality to call them her parents.
"Alright. Thank you for telling." She was still holding up her tears and her voice sounded hoarse but no one was interested to listen or care to notice it.
Wiping her tears under her veil, Alen made her will to go for what she had wished to do earlier. It was the best option for her and a way to save herself from everything that is happening right now.
Her father looked at the watch and spoke, "It is the time for us to turn up and go down. Let us go." He offered his arm but after what he had told her, Alena had no intention to do even a single formality.
Instead, she walked on her own, without holding her father's hand, until she descended the stairs. She knew that her actions have made her father angry but she least cared from now onwards.
But then, her mother came near her and whispered in her ears, "Alena, don't make your father happy. All guests are there. Put our hands in your father's arm before you go in for the guests."
