Shivanya's pov
I am right now on the way to the school. No , I am not a student. I teach in the school. I always wanted to be a doctor but my parents didn't wanted to waste money on that course so instead i became a teacher. Gradually as I started to teach , it became my passion and I started to love my job.
My parents loved me when I was a kid but after the arrival of my baby sister it was like a switch flipped in them and they started to hate me. No , i was never jealous or hated my baby sister. I always loved her and my parents too but I don't know why do they hate me so much.
Nevermind, I reached school. I need to go , we can meet again after school.

Phew !! I am exhausted. The morning lectures are always tiring. I am sitting in the staff room eating lunch when unnecessary thoughts started to come to my mind. I tried to distract myself but I was unsuccessfully.
"Shivanya , the principal is calling you."
The clerk bought me back to this world. I internally thanked him and stood up to go towards principal's cabin.
I knocked and heard a come in , I stood before the table.
"Please , have a seat." I nodded and sat down.
"Ms. Chauhan , we and the teacher's council members decided to make you the head of teacher's council."
"But sir what about ms. roy ?"
"I understand your concern about ms. roy but she is getting married and her in-laws doesn't want her to work."
"Oh ! So you all want me to be the head ?"
"Yes , ms. Chauhan."
"Thank you so much sir , i would love to do the job."
"Then congratulations, new head. We can complete the paper formalities tomorrow."
"Okay , thank you. May I leave now ? The next class would start soon."
"You can ms. Chauhan."
Oh my god !! I can't believe it. I am the head of teacher's council. I heard the bell rang and hurried to my class.

I am lying down on my bed thinking about my life. I am the child which is unwanted. I don't even know what made my family hate me. I am the obedient one who listens to everything my parents tells me to do. I can never defy them or the consequences I face are too bad.
I always believed in second chances. I hope to find someone who could love and care for me. I don't know if I could ever find that someone but a hope is always there. I always promised myself that one day I could stand against my parents and defend myself but looking at their angry faces i feel scared.
"Shivanya , shivanya ? Kaha mar gayi ? Come downstairs." ( Where did she die ? )
I heard my mom yell my name. The way she spoke kaha mar gayi gave me shivers. I quickly dashed downstairs and came face to face with my mom who looked beyond pissed.
"Maa-'' (mom-)
"Shut up you ungrateful brat. Don't call me maa. Where were you ? Why is the dishes not done yet ?"
"Mrs. Chauhan , I was completing school related work so couldn't do it."
"The school is not important anyways , first complete the household chores and do whatever you want to."
"The work was important mrs. Chauhan , you could've told riyu to do the dishes."
I felt a stinging pain on my cheeks. My mother slapped me. I know nothing new but it hurts everytime.
"Jaban ladayegi ab ?" (Will you talk back, now ?)
"I am sorry , mrs.chauhan."
As always i apologised and went in kitchen to do the dishes. I was almost done when my sister entered the kitchen. She looked at me with a look of disgust.
"What happened? Do you need anything ?"
"I don't need your help. I can manage. Stay away from my life."
I didn't spoke anything further and continued to do the dishes. I left after being done , not sparing a single glance to her.
Next morning, I was getting ready to leave for school. The school began at 10 and it is still 9. I went downstairs to see everyone eating breakfast that I made early in the morning.
"Wait , I need to talk with you." My father said and i nodded and sat in the living room couch.
Sometime later my parents came and stood before me. I stood up and let them sit.
"We fixed your marriage with my business partner's son. Your resignation is already send to the school."
I looked at them in shock. How can they fix my marriage with someone who I barely knew ? I was speechless listening to them but still I managed to whisper,
"How ?"
"What do you mean by how ? I fixed the marriage so our business can grow."
"You fixed my marriage for a business deal ?" I shuttered out.
"Yes , now get ready. The family is coming up to see you in the afternoon. Don't mess up."
I looked down feeling hurt. I knew they hate me but marrying off to a stranger that too for a business deal ?? How much do they hate me to do such a thing ?
Why god !! Just how much , do you want to see me suffer ?
I went upstairs to my room and locked the door. I slid down the door and burst off crying. I cried for a good time before standing up and walking towards the mirror. I looked at myself in disgust. Hairs messed up , eyes red and puffy , pale face and red nose.
No way that boy would like me but nevertheless I went to get ready. I wore a yellow embroidery dress with small golden jhumkis. My makeup consisted of mascara , blush and pink lip tint.
I was brushing my hairs when there was a knock on the door. I went to open the door and saw my mother standing there with a deep scowl on her face.
"Come on , come downstairs. You need to prepare snacks and lunch for the family."
I nodded and followed her downstairs. I went in kitchen and started to prepare some snacks for the family first. I was done with snacks , i stored them in containers. Now , I started to prepare lunch.
I was done preparing lunch , it took me 3 hours to prepare the food. It is currently 12 in the noon. I came out of the kitchen, wiping my sweat. My parents were in the living room watching television. My sister is at her college.
"Oh you are done ? Go freshen up and get ready again. Wear something nice."
I nodded and went upstairs to get ready again. This time I wore a lavendar coloured suit with small silver jhumkis. My makeup was same as before. I sat on the bed watching reels.
An hour later or so , there was a knock on the door again. I opened the door and it was my mother again. This time she had a extra sweet smile on her face. It made me fear , what is even going on in her head ?
"Beta , the guest are here. They want to see you." (Daughter)
I nodded and went downstairs with her , looking down all the time. I could hear chatters around the room which suddenly stopped. I looked up and my breath hitched looking at the person.
