Hello peeps!

"Loneliness and the feeling of being unwanted is the most terrible poverty."
Author's POV
"Aarohi is going to be mad if she knows I am drinking with you." Ekansh chuckled seeing the bottle of alcoh ol in front of them.
Adithya gave him a tired look and poured the liquid into two glasses.
"Come on bhai! I can drink only on the occasions like this, My wife's going to kick me out if I go home all drunk. Don't ruin my opportunity." He grumbled chunking down the liquid in one go.
Ekansh picked up his glass and twirled the liquid inside thinking if he should drink or not, although he has got an habit of drinking lately still he wasn't fully habitual to it.
Adithya looked at Ekansh and decided to ask about his feelings towards Aarohi when he noticed Maya coming towards them, at a few distance in slow steps.
He kept quiet.
Ekansh lifted his eyes hearing the footsteps and was surprised to see Maya, like always her head bowed and eyes were down.
Her legs were visibly shivering feeling their gaze upon her.
Placing the tray on the table she quickly turned to leave not able to stand their presence. She moved her leg to run out of the place but stopped listening to the loud finger snapping sound.
She stiffened in her place clasping her hands.
"Come back here!" Adithya said in a stern voice.
Maya knew better than disobeying him. She turned towards them and stood silently.
She lifted her eyes to look at his face for the first time and teared up seeing the look of disgust in his eyes. The man who once protected her like a brother and guided her like a friend now despited her sight. Why not?
The thing she has done to him, no one can imagine. She shattered his trust and everything. She looked at Ekansh who sat like nothing was happening in front of him.
She wanted to cry out and beg him to support her, just once.
"Bata nai Yaha aap naukrani hai ya ham aapke naukar ye!?"
(I don't know if you are the maid here Or we are?)
He taunted chuckling.
"Aapne aap ko Malkin samja ye kya?"
(What do you think of yourself? Owner of this house?" He said loudly.
Maya flinched by his tone and lowered her eyes hiding the tears.
"Serve the drinks!"
Maya sat down on her knees and poured the drink into thier glass after opening the bottle. It was more shocking for her to see Ekansh drinking alcohol.
Adithya screamed with satisfaction seeing her like that and ignored the slight hurt that was felt when he remembered how he would always scold her if she kneeled down before any one.
Today he himself is making her kneel down in front of him.
Ignoring her he started talking with Ekansh. Maya made an excuse of bringing the ice and went from there wiping her tears.
She rubbed her eyes washing her tears and collected the ice. She thought no one was in the kitchen but she was Riya looking at her with pity.
Riya was cleaning the kitchen wrapping up the left over food when she was her wiping her tears, and she knew something was wrong.
