"Him."

Sumedh's POV

I woke up because of a slap. I sat up with a jerk. I saw Chachi ji.

Chachi ji: Uth jaiye maharaj. Kab tak soenge aap?😏

She taunted me. My head is very heavy and it's hurting. I saw the time. It is 5:30 AM. I always  wakes up by myself at 6:00. Why is she here early?

Sumedh: Mai uthne hi wala tha bas, kal kaam kar ke thak gaya tha.

I told the truth. I did a lot of work yesterday. I am tired.

Chachi ji: Haa haa pata hai kitna kaam kiya tha tune. Chal uth ghar ka kaam kar aur khana banane ki taiyari kar. Mai to chali sone.

She left. I sighed.

Sumedh: Mere saath aisa kyu ho raha hai? Maine kya kiya hai?😭

I cried. I have been suffering for years. I want to jump of the terrace or may be cut my wrist or do anything else which can release me from this torture. But then I remember my di. I want to find her. Where is she? After the death of aai-baba she was my everything. Destiny snatched her from me. I don't know where she is. I can't go to the police because of Chacha ji's several threats. I cried more.

After some time. I wiped my tears and stood up. I went to the bathroom and took a bath. I prepared breakfast and went to do household work. It's 8:30 AM. I ate the leftovers. My breakfast. I went to a park which is near the house. I don't want to stay in the house. Something bad can happen to me there.

I sat on a bench and watched kids playing. I smiled. It's so peaceful seeing kids. The respective mothers of kids came and took their kids with them. I didn't realize the time.

I stood up and went to the fountain in the middle of the park. The water was gently falling towards the crystal blue pool beneath it, causing ripples to form. The sound of water acts so beautifully. I touched the water and giggled. I touched the water again and again. I love playing with water. The water is so pure. Nature gives me quiet joy.

I suddenly realized I have to go to work. Oh no. I will be late. I sneaked into the house and entered my room. I sighed in relief as Chachi ji didn't see me. I dressed up in my uniform. I took my bag and was about to leave.

Chachi ji: Sumedh aaj tum kaam par nahi jaoge. Mujhe Nandini ke ghar kitty party par jana hai. Tum ghar par rahoge.

She said rudely.

Why?

Why? 

Why?

Sumedh: Par Chachi ji mai aise bina bataye baar - baar chutti nahi le sakta hu. Vo salary cut kar denge.😔

It's my 5th leave in 3 weeks. How will I get them money?

Chachi ji: Mujhe usse koi matlab nahi hai. Itne saalo se tujh jaise bojh ko paal rahe hai. Tere school ki fees bhi humne hi bhari thi. Tujhe khana peena dete hai aur tu kehta hai salary nahi dega. Tu nahi to kya tere maa baap ayenge paise dene? Javab de.😠
