Her Second-Hand Husband!

Chapter 9: 8. Caught

Anika's PoV

Dad came into the home and yelled at my mom. I am more than scared now. I am dumbstruck. What should I do now? Should I agree that I am in love with Arun or should I hide that fact and act like nothing? What if I tell them now? Arun has no job. I have no job yet. The chances of rejecting him will be high now. But what if I hide the truth now? Dad will fight with mom for hitting me without any reason. He will be my pillar of support. But then, it will be a great sin. I cannot deceive my parents. Later, when I tell them about Arun, dad will be devastated. He trusts me so much.

"Anandhi, how dare you lay your hand on my daughter?" Dad confronted mom.

"Your daughter? She is my daughter too." Mom said with a shiver.

"If you had thought like that, you would have not laid your hands on her." dad said.

"Appa, don't hurt mom. First ask what happened." Advay came in between mom and dad.

"Whatever happened, it is wrong to hit a grown girl." dad said.
