K A I R A

I sat in the car. All devasted. disheartened. disintegrate. My heart burnt. My body froze. I felt cold. As if outside it was chilling. I blinked and a drop of tear made it's journey down my cheek. I sniffled, I brought my knees till my chest and hugged them tightly.

He too thinks I am a slut. I sobbed loudly. Why my fate is like this ? I was feeling blank. His words felt like an attack of knife across my chest. I thought I had started feeling for him so does he but by his words it was clear he didn't give damn about me. I punched against the seat. Tears of anger, disappoint, and stress kept slipping from my eyes.

I was disturbed by a knock,I didn't hear what the man was speaking. I exited the car and made my way inside the house. Ignoring Sitara in living room,I went to my room. I locked the door. I threw up everything I had this morning, because of crying. I cleaned my face. I let my body collapse against the mattress. I stared at the ceiling.

I didn't realise when my eyes went black,I was engulfed with deep slumber.

I groaned as I couldn't able to sleep on my stomach. I wrapped my arms around my baby bump. I was feeling sensation there which was incredibly relaxing. It makes me realise I had a life inside me. “Mumma loves you, baby."a whisper slipped my mouth.

I yawned. When my eyes wandered around I saw darkness. Only darkness. I kept patting areas beside my pillow in order to find my phone. The bright light of my phone was like a sharp tool for my sleepy eyes.

It was past six. I was exhausted. I didn't do much work today then why ?! It felt like if I will step down,the world will spin 360°. Suddenly urge of throwing up made me stand on my feet. I dashed inside the bathroom and puked out god knows what ?! I didn't have my lunch today then what came out ?!

I switched on the lights. I had fallen asleep wearing the same cloth I was wearing for hospital. I decided to take a shower as his cruel words hadn't left my mind until now. Under the shower also I had shed many tears.

His mean words and my pregnancy hormones, both were together doing a great job.

My head was paining and believe me it was very annoying. Headaches are always annoying, come on. I went out of the room. I was greeted by laughing voices coming from living room. I dragged my limp body till there. Everyone sitting there chatting and laughing. I did not feel like going to them.

I was leaving when,“Stop." I halted. Mini hands wrapped around my legs. Sitara held my fingers and lead me towards them. I didn't make eye contact with Mr. Shekhawat. I could feel his eyes on me. “Are you alright ? You look pale and didn't eat your lunch today." Aarna maa was worried. I felt like crying for her concern.

“Actually I had chaat outside and was also feeling sleepy so I just overslept." I gave her a small smile. My lips were roughly dry. My throat was parched. My stomach growled which caused Sitara to giggle. “I will bring some snacks for you," Aarna maa stated and left. Pup suddenly appeared from nowhere and jumped in my lap. I caressed it's back. It snuggled in my hand.

I picked a biscuit from my plate and gave to Sitara. She chuckled and took it. “Say thank you, Sitara." She frowned,“Why ?",“It's mean to not say please or thank you." I raised an eyebrow.

“But daddy says no need to use thank you and please all the time." She rolled her eyes. I gasped,“hey stop that act. It's rude and you're so small for that. If you won't change this attitude then no one will be friend with you." I scolded. I knew I was being strict but it's necessary. This man had already spoilt his child.

“Don't listen useless things, baby." Came Mr. Sek-bastard's voice. My eyes snapped to him. I glared at him looking straight in his eyes. “Sitara, if you will listen me then you will be a good girl, if you will listen your daddy then he will make you a bad girl. Choose wisely what you want to become, good girl or bad girl, whom no one will love ?!" I questioned furiously. She glanced me and bastard, individually.

“Baby, listen daddy. If you will listen daddy then you will become stronger and independent but if you gonna listen her then she will make you completely opposite. She will make you a scared rat." He snapped. I gasped,“What do you mean by scared rat ? Do I look like a scared rat, huh ?" I gritted my teeth.

“No doubt." He narrowed his eyes. “You bastard, have you ever seen yourself ?" I picked a cushion and threw at his direction. “Don't you dare to use those words infront of my baby!" He threw me death daggers.

“Why don't you tell the truth you feel embarrassing by this names ? Don't you use this words ? You were the one who called me slut, weren't you?" His expression changed. I sniffled,“Don't try to be a good man infront of your daughter when you're something else behind her." I coughed as I chocked my saliva.

All looked me with pity and sympathy as I sat there shedding tears. I ran inside. I laid down in my bed and did the same as ever. Made the pillow wet with my tears. He was correct, I was always a scared cat who could do nothing.

I was becoming breathless because of cried. I couldn't do anything then streaming tears. With trembling hands,I picked the glass and pour some water in it. I gulped down in one go. I was shivering badly. My teeth shuddered as my legs gave up.
