Her Property

CHAPTER 21

AJINKYA'S POV:

"Don't start again please" i said.

Dad was looking at her , i bet even he thinks how beautiful she is.
"Why don't you get together with my son?" Dad asked.

"I don't want to"  , Maya said.

"Why not?--he isn't half bad you know" He said.

"Maybe" , maya said and sat down opposite to dad.
Beside mom and continued , "Who cares?".

"You can have whatever you want in return" , dad said.
He never says something like this , he has always valued love and people close to him.
So why is he putting it like this now??

"Don't test me like that , you already know why I don't have the illusion and greed for wealth" she said.

How do they know each other?
Dad said that he wants to meet maya cause he has never met her before.
Mafia and assassins don't meet.
Everything is done with a third person.

"I know but i thought you might have changed by now" he said.

Maya nodded her head , " Changing is a choice" she said.

"You can have money" , dad said like it's a business thing. It's a emotional problem, it cannot be solved by richness.

Maya started to smile. When she looked at dad even he gave her a warm smile.
They both got up and shook each other's hand.
"I am sorry about that" he said.

"I understand sir" , she said.

But what's happening??
Adhit is so shocked right now that he sat straight now.
He ain't upside down anymore.

"You know each other?" , Mom asked.

Abhijeet's face shows that he is still processing everything.

And i am definitely as confused as everyone is.

"Fellows , i need to introduce you to maya. She is a lovely and trustworthy girl---and I don't even need to add this but the most beautiful girl i know ...that is after my own wife of course " dad said.

Maya is smiling like never before. I have never seen her happy.
"They are confused sir" maya said to dad.

"Oh ofcourse they are , let me back up" dad said and continued , "Years ago when she was almost kidnapped---

                                      -----------
AJINKYA'S POV:

NO FUCKING WAY.

So wait.
Let me process again.

Years ago when she killed the people who almost kidnapped her , she bumped into my dad while she was trying to get away with it.

So dad helped her and when he asked to drop her home and let her parents know , she denied.
Cause FUCK.
Her parents aren't even good together.

Domestic violence and verbal abuse is so common in her house. She even denied to tell her parents cause instead of taking care of her , they'll keep fighting with each other.

They'll blame her.
They'll verbally abuse her.
They won't help. Her house isn't a good environment for a kid. Her dad used to force her to follow his orders.

So that's-- how she was raised.
No wonder she doesn't like to be forced or to be watched. She even has sensitive ears.
Points connect each other so perfectly.

"Distracted ?" , Maya asked , she sat beside me.
We were on the sofa near the fountain area.

"I was thinking about you" i told her.
"What about me?" She asked.

"Why did dad hire a kid?" I asked.

"Cause he knows that a kid in my situation would never betray." She said. She is looking at the fountain.

She stood up and went near the fountain , she started playing with the water flowing through it.
"No one would ever suspect a school kid" she added.

"Yes but that's still tough for a 9 year old" i reminded.

"Wasn't for me" .

Ok well , probably , there are many cases where kids kill--but still. This is just....

"Don't think about it much , i chose to kill" she said.

Yeah ofcourse she had a choice.
But why ?

"Why did you choose to kill though?" I asked.

She looked at me.
"Maybe cause i am not normal" she said.

Being normal is not a compulsion.
Even our family is a psychopath family.
Mom was raised in a family where her own uncle sexually harassed her.

On top of it , mom's dad was never with her and her mom was killed by her uncle.
She was even rap--

"What are you thinking now?" , Maya asked.

I cleared my mind , stood up.
I patted her head , "Just some causal stuff" i said.

"Liar" .

                                     -----------

ADHIT'S POV :

We were having our dinner.
Maya is with us.

Abhijeet cannot have his eyes anywhere except on her.
Everyone noticed that , even she did , i think.

"Try to give him a chance eh?" , Dad said while he was eating.

"I'll think about it" , she said and looked at abhijeet.

Abhijeet got up , left the table.
Ehhh what a pain.
He just left the dinner.

He always ignores maya whenever---

"Go call him back" , mom said to me.
What a drag this is.

"Let me handle this for now" , maya said and got up.
Finally. Is she taking some interest in him now?

Maya's parents should've just got a divorce.
Because of their foolishness and stubbornness she is the one suffering.
Her dad hurted her mom physically a lot of times.
If that's true then technically , she must be having a trauma too.
It's no wonder she doesn't like being touched , watched and many more.

I kinda feel sorry for her but i am actually feeling proud , proud to be her friend. She is so strong to get her out of that shitty situation and handle herself ---emotionally and even-- mentally.

                                      --------

MAYA'S POV :

I followed him to his room.
I headed in the room with him and closed the door.

"You say that you love me and yet you ignore me?" ,
I asked.

He was sitting on his bed and i was standing infront of him.

"I never ignored you" , he replied.

"You have ignored me so many times , like--like when i patted your head near the waterfall" , i gave him an example.

He nodded his head awkwardly and said ,
"Well-- I was shy".

Eh
EHHHHHH
WHAT THE FUCK

"SO YOU IGNORED ME??PLUS WHAT WERE YOU SO SHY ABOUT WHEN I JUST PATTED YOUR HEAD?---" , I Started scolding him.

"Well-- you were looking heavenly" , he answered.

But that's not an answer.

"So?" I asked.

"So.....you said you don't like being watched or touched-- if i kept watching you , i wouldn't have been able to stop myself from touching you" he replied.

AND YET HE VISITED ME AT NIGHT??

THE NEXT PERSON I KILL SHOULDN'T BE A MAFIA , IT SHOULD BE HIM!!!

"And yet you---
