My Dearest Enemy

15. Maira

"What" i heard yamraj voice as he talk on the phone.

He seems like he is worried. The way his face's colour changes as soon as he started to talk on his phone is scaring me now.
Before giving him the phone i saw so many missed call from annika.

Is  she okay? Why didn't she called me?
What's happening. God this is scary.

I immediately take out my phone from my purse to call Annika. As soon as i tried to open my phone, i saw the battery of my phone is dead.

Goddamnit. I forgot to charge the phone last night because i was busy talking with annika. God I'm so stupid.

I was going going to talk to him and ask him what happened but i see him coming towards me with worried face and why is he walking so fast?.

"Yamra...... i started but he walked past me. His arms hit mine. He immediately sits in the car and drives away.

What the fuck just happened. Is he doing some prank because i took his phone?. I'm gonna kill him if he is doing that.

"Yamraj, yamraj stop" I screamed with all my might but he didn't stop the car and left me alone in this unknown place .

This fucking bastard.

As i stood on the sidewalk, the wind whipped around me. I couldn't shake off the disbelief that settled in my heart. He had left me, standing here,alone. Where am i supposed go now?. My mind stopped working, but it is racing with so many questions, trying to understand why he did that?.

Have i done something wrong? Why was he so angry? Did he do this on purpose?

I pressed my hand on forehead trying to think what to do. This fucking hurt me because he left me on my first ever date. Confusion swirled inside me, threatening to spill over into tears.

I tried to calm down myself. I took deep breath and wipe away the tears in my eyes and glanced around in search for rickshaw or taxi to take me home.
Fortunately i saw one taxi and i immediately sat and told the driver to take me to Malhotra mansion.

Wow!! What a date it was. A date where I'm leaving on taxi. Great

I reached my home soon. As i stepped into my home. I called my mother because it's my habit to call her whenever i come home from outside.

"Maa, where are you" i called again and no one replied.

"Bhai, dad are you there" i shouted but the only response was the echo of my own voice.

Where is everyone? This is so unusual.
Why is no one answering?

Had my family gone out without telling me? Or there is some other reason for their absence?
God this was supposed to be the best day but till now it was the worst.

Setting my purse on sofa i wandered through every room but couldn't found anyone. With a sigh i decide to check the kitchen.

As soon as i reached there i found a maid (riya) working.

Thank God someone is here. But why didn't she answered when i called.

"Umm, riya aunty, where are everyone?" I asked her but she didn't reply.

What the hell.

I looked at her carefully and saw earphones on her ear. She is lost in her own world.

Great!! Here I'm dying of tension and she is busy in listening music.

I approached her, hesitant to interrupt her music time but i need my answers so i gently tap on her shoulder to gain her attention. To my pleasure, she turned back. Her eyes meet mine. She immediately remove her earphone.
