"Since my childhood, I realized everyone's behavior was different towards me- My grandmother, my Uncle, Aunt, everyone except my mother and my grandfather. I couldn't understand the reason behind it. I had often overheard arguments between my mother and my grandmother, but still, I couldn't understand anything." I said.
"But I remember my twelfth birthday like it was yesterday." I continued, "My mother had planned a party. I was pretty excited, but nobody from my family showed up and this broke my heart. My mother couldn't control her anger and we made our way towards her parents' place."
"She took her mother to her room and closed the door behind. But I was too smart for them." I smiled weakly, "I went outside and opened the window of their room and they had no idea! I heard everything."
"I was shocked. Everything made sense now. My grandmother didn't like me because she felt her daughter destroyed her life because of me. After calling off the engagement, my mother had joined our family business. That's why my uncle and his wife hated me. They felt if it wasn't me, my mother wouldn't have joined the business and everything would had been his."
"But still, I failed to see how it was my or my mother's fault." I sighed, "On that evening, when she realized I had overheard everything, my mother panicked a bit. But then she made understand that nothing was my fault. She told me that we had the strongest bond and nothing was ever going to change that."
"I understood that. But..." I sighed, "A year later, Jasper came to know about this and it changed everything."
