शंका

व्यक्ति को क्षण भर में अंधा बना देती है।
संबंध को नष्ट कर देती है।
शंका नामक विष यदि एक बार व्यक्ति के मन में प्रवेश कर जाए तो उसके सोचने समझने की शक्ति को खा जाता है।

Suspicion
Can make a person blind within a second.
Can ruin relationships.
Once the venom named 'suspicion' enters someone's mind, it destroys the person's ability to ponder.

I know my father's anger. He gets infuriated just at the sight of me, and now all his luxuries are taken away from him because of me. He will definitely kill me if he sees me now.

Maasi asked me to change into something more comfortable, so I went into the bathroom to freshen up. Pouring the cold water on my body, I shivered.

I have an option to regulate the water temperature in the mansion, but that wasn't available in this village. The same bathroom that was available for me earlier appeared unclean and smaller to me today.

My habits and lifestyle have changed drastically staying over there.

I somehow completed the bath, and came outside. I had brought the sanitary pads me too so periods weren't becoming a problem now, though the ache was worse.

Maasi instructed me to get a nap, so I dozed off after having some breakfast and tea.

I woke up by 9 AM only to find myself all alone in maasi's house. She must have gone outside to fetch water from the well.

"Aye aye, andha dekh ke nahi chal sakta. Saare aisa marunga na muh toot jai."

"Hey! Are you blind or what? I'll hit you so hard that your face will get disoriented."

A shiver ran through my spine, harking to my father's infuriated voice. He was outside, perhaps yelping at someone.

I glanced at him through the partially opened window. He was carrying a nearly empty alcohol bottle in his hand, his gait was totally disturbed, his clothes were dusty and he seemed dirty, as if he hadn't taken a bath for many days.

"Ghar ki Lakshmi ka itna apmaan karega to dhan Lakshmi kaise milegi!"

"Those who insult daughters (Lakshmi of the family) never receive Lakshmi (as money and prosperity)."

One of the women carrying earthen pots on her head commented, who were passing by maasi's house.

For a moment, my eyes were filled with tears. I had forgotten all the atrocities that I went through because of him. After all he is my father, but maasi's warning had frozen my steps then and there.
