Prince Khan

Chapter 35

Mira
It was a normal day in our house. I woke up to a lot of demands and chores but one difference was that I was happy and I didn't mind doing any of the chores.

Rehan and I exchanged a look before he sat at the dining table for breakfast. I was in the kitchen like I always am every morning trying to make everyone's breakfast.

The doorbell rang and my aunt shouted at me to get it. I turned off the stove and placed the meal on the plate. "Here" I gave Mehek her plate. "Hurry up" My aunt scolded.

I rushed to the door and opened it. "Yes? Oh" I was beyond surprised to see Aryan standing in front of me with his father. I couldn't believe Shah Rukh Khan was looking at me and I was a complete mess.

"Oi who is it?!" My aunt screamed. "Uh Shah Rukh Khan" I said awkwardly and Aryan chuckled. "Can we come in?" He asked and I just moved out of the way, too scared to trust my words.

My entire family awkwardly moved around to make sure they don't look too much of a mess. Not sure why they thought that since I've been the one working all day.

"Shah Rukh sir! Welcome! If we had known you were coming–" "Oh no no I'm sorry I barged in" He apologised. I looked at Aryan and raised my brows to ask him what's happening but he just shrugged.

"I actually needed to talk to all of you about something" He told my aunt and uncle. "Look I don't like using my fame and power to threaten people it's very wrong" He said.

I looked at Aryan confused but he signalled me to relax. "But in this case I feel like it's a little necessary" Rehan looked at me for an explanation but I just shrugged.

"It has come to my attention that this household of yours is abusive" He simply said. I looked Aryan with shock. He told his dad?! My aunt shifted in her position uncomfortably.

"What're you saying?" My oblivious uncle asked in surprise. "Don't be ridiculous shah sir this is a very loving house" My aunt butted in. "Yeah we have no problem here" Mehek chimed in.

"See? Both my children are loved" She held them close. "Both? But you have three?" He asked her. "She's not mine" My aunt bluntly replied to him.

"No no she is. She's our daughter as well" My uncle quickly said. "You beat your daughter?" I started to get really nervous. "You have no say in our family matters" I couldn't believe my aunt was talking to Shah Rukh Khan like he was some common man.

"It's not your problem" She told him. "No but soon it'll be the problem for the police" He told her. My mouth opened in shock. My aunt's face turned pale like she had just seen a ghost in front of her.

"We have enough evidence" He said. We do? I looked over at Aryan but he was looking at my family. "We have eye witnesses" Who? Rehan stepped away from his mom.

"Yeah I'll be one" He said. "Rehan!" Mehek held me back. "Stop it you've turned into her" He scolded Mehek as he pointed to his mom. My aunt just glared at Rehan and now I was scared for him.

"So either you put an end to this or I'll take this to court" Shah Rukh Khan told her. My aunt was at loss for words. "Y–yes" She simply said. I looked over at Aryan and he just smiled at me.

"Anything happens you tell me immediately" Shah Rukh Khan told me. He placed a loving kiss on forehead. Aryan winked at me from a far before he left our house with his dad.

We stood there awkwardly for a few moments before my uncle spoke up. "Okay so let's eat as a family" He walked over to the table. I didn't know what to do.

"Mira" Rehan called me. "Come" He patted the seat next to him. I looked over to my aunt and she just looked away. "Just sit" She said. I sat down next to Rehan.

This was the first time I had sat with the entire family like a member of the household. I couldn't thank Aryan and his dad enough for what they had done for me.

My aunt never dared to raise a hand at me ever again but she still despised me. I guess some hatred just doesn't go away. Aryan and I have been together since then and his love trumps any hatred from my aunt.
