Mahal

..♡17♡..

PIYALI'S pov:

As soon I stepped inside the mahal I find something is wrong, because there no regular atmosphere, it is completely changed, everyone is sitting in silence.

Rajveer announced our arrival, and everyone immediately raised their heads and looked at me, what's wrong? Why are they looking at me like that?

Mr.Roy cleared his throat, and I know he is upto something, but what have I done now?
Please not now Mr.Roy, I have already went through a lot at Market, I don't want to bare your wrath.

" Hasmukh come here and Piyali Go to your room!" He ordered.

" What've I done Ra..Mr.Roy" I immediately corrected my words, why always his first name comes out of my mouth.

I gazed at them and then I realized everyone is looking at Hasmukh chacha not at me, what he did?

" Vijay, it's a family matter and she have the right to present" I heard Maa defend me.

" yes it is family matter so I don't want her to involve" he immediately answered back, I'm worried now, did something happened in my absence.

I looked at Rajveer he is indulged in his thoughts, what's bothering him?
Sakshi walked to me and said " I will explain you everything later, go and take rest ", I'm confused but I can sense seriousness in her words, so I decided to go but even before I take a step, I heard Mr.Roy's yell " hadn't she left yet?"

I walked away and reached my room I don't know what's going on, what's the matter that bothering everyone?

I removed the kerchief Hasmukh chacha tied to my hand, it is stained with blood.

It's hurting, if maa ask me about this wound, what should I say?
If I say the truth she won't let me go out again, I can't even hide the truth either.

As I was in thoughts I felt the air around me blocked, by what? I turned but find nothing, only I was standing in the room alone.

Why I always feel like this, like someone is present in this room, other than me.
I can't point out particularly but sometimes I have this feeling.

Within seconds Shattering sound was heard gaining my attention.
What is that! I was jolted and find my glass bangles stand fell down, and my bangles were crushed.

Oh my God, my bangles! I love them, how they fell down.
I ran to the spot,
I kept them in Almira then how they fell down.

I kneeled down touching the broken pieces, all my bangles are broken, not even a single bangle is spared but how! I clearly remember keeping the stand inside.

Author's pov:

But what Piyali doesn't observed is,
Few words appeared on the wall, "I won't spare anything that hurts you!"

She collected the pieces into a heap, and sat there looking at them sadly.
Her eyes brimmed, recalling her childhood memory of her mother wearing glass bangles, and how Piyali used to play with them always.
How her mother used to place the bangles in the stand carefully.
That is why Piyali developed much liking towards Glass bangles.

" is this Mahal, haunted?" Ranvijay yelled.

Hasmukh is standing lowering his head in guilt and nodded in yes.

" why you hide this matter from us Hasmukh" Ranvijay yelled, but he didn't answered.
" I asked why you hide, do you want us dead?!" He roared, Hasmukh Gasped In shock.
