Roop entered the house with slow steps, making sure not to make a noise. She didn't want to face anyone at the moment. A distant voice of everyone was coming from the kitchen. Their gossiping and laughs. Roop tiptoed till the stairs. Just when she was about to sprint over the stairs to her room, she heard Minal's voice from behind, filled with love and care, "You're here, bachha?"
Roop's heart skipped a beat as she reluctantly responded, "Haan, Maa."
And hurried up the stairs.Just when she was on the third step, she heard another voice, laced with concern, "Princess-"
Something broke inside her, listening to Anand's concerned voice, calling out for her like that. Before he could proceed further with his question, Roop declared, "I'm going to my room. Do not disturb me. I repeat, no one."
Her voice broke at the end, making her wince. She hoped for them not to notice that.But they were her parents after all. Parents always notice even the small change in their children's behaviour or voice. Anand and Minal's face etched with concern and confusion as they looked at each other.
In the kitchen, Rishi and Krishika heard Roop's voice too. They looked at each other with confusion. They knew, something was definitely wrong since Roop was behaving like this. Rishi's heart swelled hearing her voice breaking at the end. No matter how much they fight, he always notices even small things in change of her behaviour. He came out.
Roop rushed up, without waiting for their replies. But heard them calling out for her, "Bachha." "Princess." "Roop."
They knew Roop enough to not disturb her when she clearly declared that. But they were beyond worried about her sudden order. Minal, Krishika and Rishi had no idea about what had happened. But Anand, on the other hand, had guessed it.
Whereas Roop just needed to find a way through this mess. All she needed right then was a temporary break from the whole shit going down in her life. She needed to prepare herself to confront her Papa. In all these years, she never thought twice before saying or asking anything to her father. She blurted out everything to him like her best friend. But now, she was afraid to even face him.
Roop reached her room, changed into comfortable clothes and hopped on her bed. Her mobile was switched off already. She just laid down, closing her eyes, thinking of how to face her father. She had to know everything. So, she needed to ask him about their deal.
Just when she was about to drift off to sleep, sudden knock on the door made her flinch. She looked towards the door, "Princess, are you okay?"
Her chin wobbled. Tears blurred her eyes again, listening to Anand's warm voice. 'Why did you do this Papa?' She thought, trying to control her tears."Take rest, bachha. We'll talk when you're ready."
He said hearing no response from her, and she heard his footsteps echoing in the corridor, fainting slowly.
