AAHARA

WORTHLESS.

"I can explain." Kal said hurrying to put his clothes on while I just rolled my eyes, walking out of his room since I had already delivered the message Mumma wanted me to. Besides being in the room of my least favorite brother, who has a naked girl beside him isn't anything I want to see. Then I went downstairs to have my dinner and took my place inbetween Amara Di and Ekansh Bhaiya.

"You called him?" Mumma asked and I nodded while serving myself.

"Baby you should wait for everyone." Mumma said without even taking her eyes off her phone.

"Everybody's already here." I announced and took a bite anyway.

"Aahara I don't see your brother here yet." It was Dad this time.

"He isn't my brother." I stated without much interest, any conversation about Kal seemed too much of an inconvenience for me.

"Aahar!" Ma gasped but I didn't entertain her with any response. It must have been my tone which set her off, to be honest I was surprised with my own coldness too.

"I know what he did was wrong but Dad already talked to him. You should forgive him." Aadinew Bhaiya said and I hummed.

"How? Since I wasn't made a part of that "talk"." I said finally putting my spoon down and looking straight in the eyes of my Father.

"I dealt with him." Ohhhhh! That's interesting.

"Yeah? Care to enlighten me?"

"No."

"Fine then you can shove your damn demands down eachother's throat just leave me out of it." I shugged.

"Aahara you are being completely unreasonable, when I said I took care of it means I took care of it and you don't need to know then you don't besides that blant disrespect isn't something I like." Dad said with a sever look in his eyes.

"Think whatever you what. You are too thick skulled to understand me anyways."

It was a fact, all the time I had been with him. He always did what he thought was right, he seemed to think he understood anybody and everything. That could be ture for his other kids but with me, boy was he wrong. Nor was I beyond his understanding but beyond his compassion too, I was use to gentle parenting but his style was completely opposite and that was simply harsh for me.

"Aahara." I was a little surprised by the new voice, since I wasn't use to interacting with him. Looks like family is coming for eachother's rescue. How sweet!

"What?"

"He didn't do anything wrong you were being a brat not everybody can baby you and take all your shit." Kain Bhaiya spat.

"I never asked you to and if I remember correctly during my entire stay here I have never bothered you once. Actually, if I am correct, which I am, it's you with the petty attitude here." I said with fake sweetness, batting my eyelashes at him.

It was at that moment that Kal came down, taking a seat beside his twin. He must have sensed the tense atmosphere as he questioned his twin about the matter.

"Oh it's nothing much. It's just family protecting family but now since the star of the show is here I am sure the fun will increase ten folds." I injected with a tight smile.

"Princess I think you need to calm down, we aren't against you but you need to understand us too. Don't be so hostile." Dada said gently and I just shook my head.

"Not against me? You all are clearly ganging up on me here, either you all spoke in his favour or remained silent to encourage those speaking. Who thought of me? Dada you might not be against me but you aren't with me either." As the words left my mouth a thick silence covered the atmosphere.

"I am with you, everyone is, it's just this situation." Amara Di said.

"Yeah? That's nice blame you incapability on the "situation?" I cheered with mocking eyes at Di's ridiculous excuse.

"Yes, it's the situation, you were misbehaving with your brother's friend, one that's important for him over something so trivial. You could have easily avoided the situation if you had just compromised a little but off course that was too much for you. You say we don't understand you? Have you ever thought that it might be the other way around. Kal bought you another pizza, didn't he? What more would you have wanted?" Kain snapped.

"Aahara your brother is right there. He tried to make amends it was you who rejected his apology." Ma said finally.

"You are pathetic, all of you. You say he made amends for slapping me over some whore of his? That's great, just amazing."

"Aahara!" It was the bastard himself this time.

"What? Worried that you slut might hear? Since you are hidding her in your bed and stop spreading her legs?" I mocked.

Usually I wasn't this vicious but something in me felt good at having said everything that I had. I wouldn't disrespect a woman like that normally, ever but something in me just felt so outraged that I couldn't help it.

"Enough. You don't talk like that in my house." It was Ma this time again but I just raised an eyebrow her way.

"Yeah? What are you gonna do? Kick me out? Do it. It's not like this place is my home anyways." I challenged.

"Then what place is your home, Aahara? Don't throw in such words easily. You are taking my love too for granted." She said while standing up then started walking away.

"With Naani. My home is with her." I said after a second, she stopped walking and turned around.

"She isn't here anymore and need I remind you that before being your Naani she was my Ma, she loved you because you are my child whether you want to accept that fact or not is not my concern. But you need to realise, you are you because of me, you had her love, her care, her everything only because you have my blood."

"So that's how it is? Then why did you give birth to such a child? A child you abandoned and if that wasn't enough now you what me to realise how worthless I am?" I asked.

"No one is calling you worthless, Mumma is just trying to tell you that we are siblings and it's okay to fight. Why must you make everything so difficult Aahara? You know we have all had worse fights but in the end the we made up, why can't you?" It's was Aadya Di this time.

"Why can't I? Because I had never had siblings before, I never had big brothers and sisters. I never knew how this things works, I had always been a single child. Need I remind you that I was abandoned by your beloved family?"

"Abandoned abandoned abandoned how long are you gonna keep holding onto that? Aren't you here now? Aren't we all making efforts to make up to you? Isn't that enough?" Kal got up and slammed his hands on the dining table. I got up too and looked him in the eye with all the hate I could muster up. How dare he!

"No, because a few months of pity don't make up for years of hate." I said just as a tear rolled down my eye and walked away.

I just walked away....
