《Her Innocent Love》60. The Truth
Advertisement
First of all, I wanted to apologize for my late update and thank you for the concerns. It's so heartwarming and I'm really appreciating the kindness some of you trying approaching me.
Siddhart becomes normal with Divya but didn't flirt with her anymore. Siddhart was happy looking Divya and Arjun happy in their relationship.
Divya get closed with Siddhart's family and seldom will visit his grandparents at their house. She really enjoying their presence and feel be so loving.
One day, she visit their house without informing anyone. She wanted to give them surprised by cooking them their favourites food.
She looks around the house. The mansion is really big and beautiful just liked Singhania mansion. She enter inside the house but the house was quiet. She called Siddhart's names and their grandparents but no one reply her. She sighed and thought that maybe it's wrong time to come.
As she just wander around looking for anyone. She get lost.
"Ah!Why I came here without informing anyone. See what happen?". She scolding herself.
"Let's keep calm and find the way out". She mumbled to herself.
She then walking around and from far she saw the way of exit. She excitedly went towards the exit but in middle, a room caught her attention.
The room look normal like other room but something calling her to came inside. Without thinking much, her legs walked towards the room and her hands twist the knob of door. To her luckiest, the door wasn't locked up.
She enter inside the room. The room looked so clean and painted in yellow. The room looked lovely and she feels so safe and warmth to be in this room. Its weird but that how she felt.
"The room owner must be very joyful and optimistic person". She said looking at the yellow colour painted bedroom wall.
She walked further inside the room and shocked with everything she saw on the wall. The corner side of the bedroom was filled with a lots of pictures. It's was decorated lovely but that wasn't blow her up but the people inside the pictures are.

She stand there speechless and flabbergasted with everything. She couldn't believe anything she saw and tears were falling out of her eyes. Its very hard truth for her to believe.
"It's can't be. This is not true. I'm must be dreaming. Its impossible to be true". She assure herself while collapsed on the floor looking at the pictures.
The wall was decorated with Divya's pictures from baby until now. It's clearly showing they taking without her permissions because she didn't look at camera at all pictures except her baby pictures. But that doesn't upsetting her although it's look creepy.
However, the other pictures of her really surprised her and giving chilling shivers to her body. Its was a picture of her when she was two years old. But she not alone in that photo. A young couple holding her and smile brightly looking at camera.
The picture look like taken while celebrating her birthday probably because she was wearing birthday cone on her head. What more surprising her was the man in the picture. That moment she realised, the couple is none other than her own parents.
He just exactly like her. He look like a man version of her. The same eyes, nose, hairs, skin tone, dimples and smile. The way he smile is just like her. Her eyes tend to form a adorable crescent moon shape when she smiling with her dimple at either side of her cheeks.
She looked other side of wall and saw the pictures of that man with Siddhart's family. In all pictures that man were smiling brightly. His smile is not fake and She could feel the genuine and innocence radiated from his eyes.
Divya wipes her tears with her hands and steal her picture with her parents. She run away from there to her house. She need Arjun. It's too big blow for her to handle it alone.
At Arjun's and her bedroom, she is crying miserably holding the picture near to her heart. She not a fan of crying but this is too difficult to digest. Arjun is still not back from hospital.

Arjun came to home as he wanted to surprise Divya with the honeymoon tickets to Paris next week. But when he enter the house, he know something is not right. The house looked very dark and there is no glimpse of Divya as Annie was playing alone in the garden. It's very strange to see Annie playing alone without Divya beside her.
He ran to their bedroom and the room door was opened widely. He came inside and saw Divya laying on the floor while holding a frame tightly in her hands.
He went closer to her and could saw her tears traces at her face. He take out the picture from her hand and sighed looking at her condition. He realised that Divya knew already about her parents and her relation with Siddhart's family.
Arjun scooped Divya in her arm and put her in their bed. He know it is time to tell her everything before everything get mess.
Divya stirred when she felt someone holding her. She didn't open her eyes because she know who it is as she she felt the familiar touch and warmth. She just move a little to holding him firmly and don't want to let go him.
Arjun understand her needs and laying down with her and hug her closely to him.
Both of them didn't said anything. They just holding each other and stay like that until sleep consumed both of them.
Next day, Arjun wake first and took leave for today since Divya need him most at time like this and he also wanted to explained everything to her regarding her parents.
After breakfast, he took Divya to their garden and let her sit at wooden swing. He give her a file and Divya look confused while taking the file into her hand. It's about her background. Divya narrow her eyes looking at Arjun but Arjun signal her to read it first and he will explained everything after that.
Divagar Ramachandran - 49 years old - Dentist - owned a Clinic - Have one daughter (Divya Divagar) - Passed away in car accident September 1996 at age 27.
Vijiya Arunachalam - 49 years old - Painter - Owned a art studio - Have one daughter (Divya Divagar) -Passed away in car accident September 1996 at age 27.
Divya closed the file after reading the information inside. Her eyes full of with questions and doubts.
Arjun grab her hands in his and turn his face toward her.
"Your father from rich family and your mother from poor family. They met up when your father went to India to pursue his study. They fall in love with each other and secretly married at age of 23 without anyone knowledge except some of their close friends.
Although they already married but both of your parents still living separately and focusing on their studies.
Your father broke the truth after a year in front of his family when they forcing him to marry a girl of their choice.
Because of this, your father side family disowned him and never keep in touch with him after that. They even don't know about your parents death for years until your Aunt Vimala started to finding her brother.
Your uncle and grandfather from your mother side cheated your parents by taking their properties and abandoned you at orphanage". He explained everything he gather about Divya's background.
Divya look shock with the truth regarding her families. She don't how to accept this and she feel sorry towards her parents. They must suffer a lot to be together. The truth always bitter and although she knew she was abandoned by her relative but it's too difficult to digest when she knew the truth now. The most frustrating, she didn't know to who she wanted verge out her feelings. She crying her eyes out holding Arjun's arm.
After awhile, she can't cry anymore. Everything already happened and she can't change anything. It is out of her hand and she cannot stress herself out on something she can't control.

Shaman
*** Let's get this clear now: the MC is a trans woman. This is not a gender-bender. It's set in a fantasy world but the exploration of identity and gender is reality-based. Not a joke, not a kinky turn-on. If this is a problem for you, please just act like an adult and look elsewhere for something to read. *** Rating breakdown, since that should be public info: 2 x 5*, 1 x 4.5*, 1 x 3*, no reasons offered. A human shaman and healer returns from several years with the mysterious shyani, accompanied by her shapeshifting puma best friend. A valued friend, from her previous identity as a male student physician, has acquired an old shyani book, and extremists will not tolerate its presence in human hands. But back in human lands, the question arises: which world does she belong in? Generations ago, human explorers found a continent inhabited by an utterly alien culture of shapeshifting weyres and the shyani, humanoids who prefer dusk and dawn. A truce of sorts was eventually reached: humans claimed the rich lowlands, and the shyani and weyres retain the highlands. Along the border, practicality often rules, but on either side, old grudges linger in some hearts. As a student physician, Corin tried to take his own life, unable to bear the countless tiny wounds inflicted over twenty-one years of lying to himself in order to be, or pretend to be, socially acceptable. At the last improbable instant, intervention came, in the form of a spirit fox, who led him away from the existence he’d known in the lowlands and into the highlands. There, a puma weyre rescued him, and a shyani shaman helped him find his true self and offered a rebirth, a life with no more lies, and an important role to fill. Now a shaman and healer in her own right, Vixen who was once Corin learns that the one human who mattered to her in her previous life, then a fellow University student, has come into possession of an old shyani book, and the more fanatical shyani and weyres will stop at nothing to reclaim it and punish Jared. Even though it means going back into the lowlands and facing Jared as a woman, she can’t bear to just look the other way. This should be a short visit, just long enough to see the book into the proper hands and make sure Jared will not be killed for having it, and then she can return to the shyani community that has accepted her as their shaman. And, of course, her feline best friend Dayr insists on coming with her. But Jared is now a Lord, with considerable wealth and power, and his response to her presence isn’t one she expected. After years living with the shyani, she sees everything around her from a new perspective, and that makes it difficult to keep to the plan of making as few waves as possible. As an honoured guest in a highborn house, with only Jared aware that she has ever been anyone else, Vixen finds herself questioning where she belongs: with Dayr and the shyani, who accept her gender without question but have to make allowances for her differences, or with humans, in the culture she grew up in even though her past would mean a major scandal? *** Trigger warning: there are scenes of Vixen's previous life, which include some difficult moments and culminate in an (obviously unsuccessful) attempt at suicide before she finds her true self and a better life. Please be careful! This is the ONLY reason for the "Traumatising Content" tag.*** Complete stand-alone novel, 96K words. Also available on Scribble Hub and as a free ebook.

A Portal Fantasy Comedy Poem
Mix an adolescent shepherd boy in love with a girl who wants to meet existentialists, a Viscount in need of an adventure, and a bland psychic. Add in a flippant god. Put them in a land made up of the after-lives of various different cultures. Stir gently. Sprinkle in some random Midgard Serpent, Genghis Khan, Scheherazade, and a cussing mocking bird. Fry lightly. Season to taste and serve with desired garnishes. Bon apetit! A comic fantasy poetic epic, filled with misfits, slapstick routines, light romance, people shouting out the names of their battle skills before using them, old philosopher dudes running around naked, a very serious lamb, demonic knitting, battery operated magic swords and even more traumatising stuff! I experimented with different styles in the beginning and finally settled on an ABABBCBC rhyme scheme (Give me your 0.5s. Gimme, gimme, gimme. I'm collecting them, seriously)
