Slap

Rani Akash Pov:

Today is supposed to be a celebration. My sister's wedding was meant to be a joyous occasion, a new chapter for her. She's about to marry the man I think my father's friend son.... and I'm so happy for her.

The entire family is gathered, the smiles, the laughter, the excitement in the air. I went to other country to complete my studies and I'm finally getting a chance to catch up with my friend after long time. It feels so good to talk them freely, to laugh again, and to share what's been going on in our lives.

 The weight of everything that's happened in the last couple of years family drama, expectations, disappointments. It seems a little lighter as I lose myself in the conversation.

when all of a sudden I feel a hand grab my arm. Hard. I freeze. The grip is too tight, the force too much.

I even shout at him, "who are you Mister? and What are you doing?, leave my hand, you are hurting me." Said to him but he is not listening and responding.

My heart pounding like crazy, I try to break free, but the man's grip only tightens. I don't even recognize him because he is showing his back only.

Where is everyone? Why is no one stepping in? I can't even think straight, my thoughts a blur, just trying to keep calm, to get away from him.

Finally, we reach a room. The door opens, The air in the room was thick with tension, a palpable energy that prickled my skin. My parents and the bridegroom's parents were there.

I could feel the undercurrent of unease, the unspoken anxieties that hung heavy in the air. They were all talking With loud voices, but the conversation stopped abruptly as soon as we entered the room. Every head turned to look at us.

What happened to them? Why they look so tensed and anxiety?.. I said in mumbling tone while looking down.

Then suddenly i heard slapped sound. When i Held up my head, and i saw my father, who's face turning red with fury. And His hands are shaking, but not from fear. It's from sheer raw anger.

Then he said "How dare you lay your hand on my daughter "growl with cold tone.

Then I looked at the man who held her hand so tightly. I got surprised and wide her eyes. He is soon to be my sister's husband, why is he holding my hand?, and where is my sister?, why can't I see her?, What happened to her?, is she ok?.

 I have so many questions, I want to ask....

And what's wrong with this man?, why did he hold my hand who soon to be his sister-in-law?,

Does he have any shame?, My father even warn and slapped him, he did not leave my hand.

I will faint if I don't ask them what's going on here?...
