ONLY HIS

Chapter 3

Lisa's POV

I woke up with a headache. It's like someone hitting my head with a hammer.

I looked around for my room and found that it looked bigger than tomorrow and more beautiful too.

I looked over the side table to see a note.

------------------------------

Hey sweetheart

I hope you don't have a bad headache when you wake up. And if you have here some medicine that can ease your pain. Take care of yourself for me. I will be back soon. I promise.

Love you
Ace

Memories from night flood in my mind.

I'm screwed.

I ran back to my room and started packing my bag. I informed my friends that we had to leave. They started questioning me but I lied that I was not feeling good. So they agreed.

I'm finally back at home but there is something that I don't like in this house.

My stepmom. Or meant to say new Mrs. Srivastava. I hate her. Only cuz of her my family which was as strong as iron now has cracks in it.

Moni is her daughter but I have never seen her as my step sister. She also loves me and she also knows that her mother loves to bring up new matters in this house.

My father divorced my mother when I was 2. My brother was the only one who supported my mother in her hard times. After a month he bring her to the house.

He didn't kick us out of the house cuz he knew that his brother would only be his support in the future.

Since that time we didn't talk normally to our father. It always has to be something related to the fight.

I'm waiting for the day I get my job I'll leave this house with Mom and Sid. But there is still a part of me that doesn't want to leave the house where I spent my childhood.

Here I enter the house and the taunts start.

" Aagayi maharani, kuch jada jaldi. Nahi agayi. Kuch din or gulcharee udaakar aati.

("Here comes our your Highness. I think you came too early. You should have stayed there and have fun.")

I didn't say anything but kept dragging my luggage inside don't want to cause any drama cuz I already had a bad headache plus yesterday night incident.

I kept my bag in my room and first checked on my mother. Nowadays she has been sick. The doctor said that it's cuz she is not in good mental health. She needs some peace. That's when we all decided to avoid fights but there is a person whose food doesn't get digested when there is peace in this house.

Guess who?
I know you get it.

My mom was sleeping safe and sound.
I feel so relaxed after seeing my mom. Her face makes all worries go away. I just want to lay my head in her lap and cry my heart out. I just miss my small happy family so much. Can't things go back?

I shut her door without making any sound. And went towards my room. I need a nap. I saw Moni doing something in the gardens. She loves flowers and plants. That's why her mother spent my all money that was for my cafeteria bill to buy her new plants. When Moni got to know that she refused to take those but I said that harm had already happened and these plants could not be exchanged.

But it kind of benefited me cuz I learned to cook from YouTube and cook lunch for myself and sid brother. And also breakfast for grandma. That evil woman goes out all day roaming around the city and leaves home over a sick and old woman.

I was upset with my grandmother for not stopping the divorce between my parents. Also, one thing that she didn't argue about marrying that evil lady that was after my dad's money.

She replied saying that we can't stop people from doing their will. But we can make them regret the decision that they have taken.

She also hates that evil snake. That's what she called her naggin (snake). Zaherilli naggin (venomous snake).

I was lying back in my room when Moni came and asked if I wanted something. I said nothing. She smiled and left.

She is nothing like her mother. Where her mother gives negative ghost vibes she gives positive vibes. She is just the opposite of her mother. Her mother caked her face with makeup making her look like a joker. Even Joker gets sometimes shy seeing her. But Moni is a natural beauty. Our school kids die for her.

She is just a goddess. She is not greedy for money and property like her mother but for chocolate and pastry.

I remember when Moni was born her mother didn't even care about her. She was busy getting ready for some kitty party cuz she couldn't do that when she was pregnant.

I, my mother and grandma take care of her. She cried a lot when she was young for hours and hours. We all were up till she slept where her mother didn't care if her daughter was alive or dead.

Although she wanted a boy God blessed her with a goddess. She just wanted to kick us out after having a son cuz that's what my father wanted.

I Lay in my bed staring at the ceiling. I want to sleep but this pressure that something happens after I sleep keeps me awake up till everyone sleeps.

I wanted a break from my Life. I'm so sick of it. I can't get to express myself. I just want to stay alone in a dark room where no light enters my room. All silence all peaceful. No one to disturb.

I don't know when these days will come. I'm not even sure if these days will come.

All I could do was hope.

Hope for a better life.

Hope for survival in this cunning world.

Hope everything gets normal.

Hope.......

Only hope......
