Burning in revenge 2

Terrible Childhood

Ram's POV 

I rushed to her "what's wrong? Did someone hurt you?" I asked wrapping my arms around her. She snuggled into my chest and cried harder. After sometime, she got up and opened a suitcase, it has few dresses and jewelry boxes

"My parents never have time for me... they think I will be happy if they send me costly dresses, jewelry and foreign chocolates. It's not even them, their secretary sent... why can't they understand that I just need their love, nothing else. They don't even know my taste, I don't like heavy dresses and jewelry. Look at these" she said pulling dresses from the suitcases, opened the jewelry boxes... they are heavy designer dresses and jewelry, I know nothing about jewelry but I can say they are extremely costly.

Their secretary send me these for my every birthday. Every year they promise me that they would come for my next birthday but they were never there. Can you believe that I don't remember celebrating my birthday with my parents? My nanny used to take me out on my birthday. They used to throw grandeur birthday party when they have time. I was always so lonely. When I was 12, I couldn't bear it... I couldn't stay in that big house alone, waiting every day for them to come. I joined in hostel..." she broke down

I was shocked hearing her, how can any parents be like that, not giving time for kids.

"They don't know what's happening in my life... it's been more than 5 months that we got married... they would have known if they come to meet me... they didn't even call. I was hoping they would come for my birthday but they are not coming.

My grandparents used to say I'm Santa's gift and very lucky since I was born on Christmas but my luck left with my grandparents when I was 6..." she sat on bed hiccuping. I gave her water

"Ram, for the first time in my life I experienced parents love after our marriage. Mom, dad, dadi, Vishnu bhai, Nisha Bhabhi... they all love me like their own kid... Nivi is an angel... I can't ask for more in my life. Promise me that i will have this love all my life" she pleaded looking into my eyes. I hugged her, couldn't find voice, how much she suffered being lonely. Even after what she went through, she turned out to be amazing 

I asked her to fresh up and got food for her. She probably didn't even have lunch. I fed her, she ate silently. After eating few morsels, she fed me. We both ate feeding each other. I tucked her in bed, sat holding her hand till she slept
