Vihang was testing my patience with his nonsense when I heard the front door open and closed. It was my dad who I thought was on a business trip. I muted the call to let Vihang speak and left my phone on the nightstand. I was about to open the door when I heard a girl's voice so I went back, picked up my phone and asked Vihang to tell Sid that I was fine and ended the call. 

"See again her stuff is lying all over the place. What if I had company, I have told her so many times to keep everything at its right place, how many times do I have to explain her to behave like a girl that she is. Her mother herself ran away and left this burden for me." Dad said angrily which was often his tone while talking to me or talking about me when he was drunk. Not gonna lie it still hurts even after seventeen years but I guess no family is perfect and everyone have their own issues.

"Let it be honey, the only company you have today is me and you can tell me what to do, I promise I'll listen to you like a good girl,daddy." Aanya said in her seductive voice and took my father upstairs to his room because I could hear them doing things on their way up.

 Aanya was my dad's personal assistant when she joined his office but he liked her so much just like his past five assistants that he started dating her. At first he dated so that he could marry again and have a son but as soon as the woman learnt about me they thought that I'll anyways take over all my dad's business later so they left eventually and he stopped trying after a few years and ended up drinking mostly.

 When I was ten my nana and mama tried to take over my custody but later my maama and maami had a daughter and mama said he can't handle the burden of raising two girls so my custody was eventually given to my dida. I missed my dida especially today, she would have never let my dad say things like this especially when I am around.

I was about to sleep when my phone rang and I immediately recognized the number, it was Aryan. "Ugh, what does he want now?" I waited for the call to end so that I could permanently block his number when a text popped from an unknown number which read "pickup my call or I'll jump off this building." It was from Aryan with a picture which looked like a building terrace.

 The air in the room suddenly went cold and a shiver ran down my spine when I read the text. My phone rang again and I picked it up immediately. "Hello baby, how are you" Aryan said in a drunk voice. I was too tired for this. "What is it Aryan?" I asked him. "I really miss you sweetheart." Ugh, ok I can do this, I told myself. "Where are you Aryan?" I asked him. 

"It doesn't matter, I wanna be with you." He said. "You are not at any terrace are you?" he was testing my patience now. "If you won't listen to me I will go to the terrace and jump." He warned me which made me laugh to be honest.

 "Ok Aryan you listen to me, if you ever call me or text me again I'll complaint to the police and make your life a living hell. You know my dad has contacts in the board and it won't take me a minute to get you kicked out of the college so get the fuck out of my life." I ended the call without giving him a chance to reply.

 I hate to use my dad's position as aboard member but I had no energy to entertain Aryan right now. I hugged coco which my dida gifted me when I was seven because she had to leave for two days.Coco was the only constant in my life since childhood so it was more than a soft toy to me. It gave all the comfort I needed and in no time I fell asleep.
