The Brothel Owner

Prologue

87%

She just got 87% in her 10th.

Naturally,  her mother was furious.

But somehow , she maintained her composure and the smile on her face , even when Shivaangi ma'am,  her class teacher said, " Sorry to say ma'am. " referring to mother as she pushed her specs up on the nose, " But we had higher expectations from your daughter. She did excellently throughout the whole year , only to get distracted in the end. "

That only added fuel to fire burning in her mother.

Who wanted nothing more than her to top the school once, just once , so as to shut the mouth of all gossiping and chatterbox relatives in her family, to put a proof in front of those who dared question her parenting, for once and all.

But the darling daughter of course,  failed her dear mother.

For the nth time.

Still, she kept the smile intact, " It's okay ma'am,  my daughter did her best. Thank you for looking after her."

And her mother , very calmly indeed, stormed out of school building with an anxious on her tail, only to be stopped by Santosh sir, her physics teacher.

" Arre ma'am,  Good morning. Aaj results  milne Hai na , how much did she score?" He asked with his very obvious, fake concern for his students. ( Was one those creepy teachers with no student ever wanted in class, but had no choice but push through the lessons. Who always criticized the students and prided in making them suffer with shot ton of homework.)

" 87% ... " responded her mother, bitterly and shamefully.

She sighed internally.

" Chalo koi ni. Kuch nhi Hota mam. Bachhe Hai time se Samaja jaayenge. Kyoki hamne toh apna 100 percent efforts diya Tha. Ab yeh agar padai nhi Kar rhe to aap kya Kar sakti Hai. Waise.  " He then turned to. , " tumne padai par Kyo dhyaan nhi diya. Jab parents itna bolted Hai, ham sabne tumko itna samjhaya ,fir bhi Kyo aise results. Aren't you a capable child ?"

She bit her lips and looked down on ground , " I am sorry sir."

" No ! " Her mother almost shouted and she flinched at her spot, " Tell us. Tell me why don't you study ? Why ? Are you now happy with such a low score ? Ate you content that your parents are finally proud and wouldn't even be able to face the relatives ? Santooshti mil gyi tumko ?!! " She screamed,  letting it all go. Letting her daughter how much her poor grades, and her actions hurt her.

" Kyunki mummy, " She bit back her tounge from screaming back at her mother and glared at her teacher and her mother , " Mai Einstein,  Newton k baare me jaankar kya karungi jab bade hokar mujhe poora Kamathipura kharidna Hai!! Do you get it now ?!?! "

She screamed back, unable to hold her own hurt anymore.

For a moment,  they stared at her , stunned and silenced , with wide eyes.

But for a moment only.

For next, she was slapped for saying that.
