Love In Denial

16 . Rathore mansion

Avni POV

"Ma'am"

"Ma'am"

"Ma'am"

I woke up because of some noise around me. I opened my eyes and saw a maid was there. She must be there for her cleaning duty.

"What happened ?" I asked, and sat on the floor.

"Why are you sleeping on the floor Ma'am" she whispers, ignoring her question i got up from the floor.

"Is Mr and Mrs Rathore back " i inquired ,

"Yes ma'am, and Ananya mam is calling you for breakfast " she urged and i nodded my head.

It's time to meet them.

My room is still locked so I got in the ground floor room' s washroom to get ready.

After the tension-filled shower, I gather my strength and slip into a fresh set of clothes.

The Rathore mansion, Ranvijay, my future so many thoughts are looming inside my head.

As I reached the entrance of the Rathore mansion, the guard opened the door to welcome me.

The guest house wasn't changed for a bit but the Rathore mansion was totally changed.

Fascinating. Classy. Beautiful house.

But it's a house.

Not a home.

My footfalls echoed in the hall. Everyone was there at the dining table having a happy morning breakfast.

Sometimes I feel, when I become this emotionless that i don't even care my own father hates me. A normal daughter would feel so much pain after knowing his father hates her but with me it's all numb.

"Avni " ananya called me, the happy surroundings change into the awful in a second.

I should have come a little later.Mr. Rathore who was feeding ananya, now his full focus on his plate and Mrs. Rathore who always has a fake smile on his face had an awful look.

"Come here, have your breakfast" ananya says and i shake my head in denial.

I will wait for them in the hall.

"I don't have time, if you want to say something ,come here" Mr. Rathore's harsh voice echoed in the room.

I took some steps and got near the dining table. While I was sitting on the chair a maid came and started serving me a pancake as a breakfast.

Silence.

There is complete silence.

I started eating i had only a single bite and suddenly the maid's hand slipped the glass and all the water fell on my plate.

"I am sorry ma'am" she urged in panic and tried to pick up the plate.

"Waste the free food, that's what you are doing for years wasting our money " Mrs. Rathore said sarcastically, taunting me about all the past expenses my father has spent on me.

Just one last time and i will never come back here.

I took the plate from her hand , my gaze fixed at my plate and without saying anything i started gulping the water soaked tasteless pancake.

It's still better i had worse than this.

"Avni , you don't -" ananya tries to resist but after seeing Mrs. Rathore glares she shuts up.

Sooner everyone finished their breakfast.

When i looked up I saw Mrs. Rathore's gaze was fixed at me. Her eyes were continuously roaming on my body like she was trying to see something.
