Author's pov

Sitara's hands froze in fear when he said that. She is sure he hasn't seen her face or recognize her voice then how? Is he trying to test her? If yes then she will pass it with flying colours.

"Sahab ye kya bol rahe hai ap? Hamara Naam Sitara nahi hai hum to Shruti hai. Hum apko kyu thappar marenge? Humein apni Jaan bahut pyari hai (what are you saying sir? My name is Shruti not Sitara. Why will I slap you? I love my life very much.)" Sitara said changing her voice as much she could

"Aisa hai kya? (is that so?)" Rehan asked going near her ear

"Ji Sahab hatiye na kya kar rahe hain ap, (yes sir please make some distance what are you doing?)" She said and tried to make some distance from him

"bindi tedi hai tumhari (the dot on your forehead is not in its proper state.)" Rehan said and Sitara became confused

What is he even trying to say? How can he see her?

"Agar tum sher to hum sawa sher hai (If you're intelligent I'm more intelligent than you.)" Rehan said and made her look at the water under

Her face was clearly visible in the water. The reflection of hers was crystal clear on the water.

Sitara's eyes widened in fear and she completely forgot about it. Her mind was too occupied in his thoughts she didn't realise that he could see her face in the water reflection. Now what will he do to her?

Will he kick her and her mother out of his mansion? If he wants he can make them outcast. No one will give them work or anything. They will be forced to beg on the streets but she doubts if anyone will give that either or not.

Her eyes started watering because if they don't work and get money how will she get her father treated? He is sick and they need money to continue his treatment. Will raising her voice against the wrong will cost her this much?

Her eyes started watering and drop by drop tears fell on the water pot. Rehan understood that she was crying. His heart felt twisted peace in her tears.

"Arey abhi se kyu ro rahi ho Humne to kuch kiya bhi nahi? (why are you crying from now when I haven't done anything yet?)" Rehan asked wiping her tears with his thumb he removed the veil from her face as well

"Ab se ye natak mat karna, (from now on don't do this drama)" he said pointing towards her dupatta which she used to keep her face covered

"Humein maaf kar Dijiye Sahab (please forgive me sir)" Sitara said scared for her family and job

She can't lose it at any cost. She looked down in fear.

"Namard haina hum? Fir kyu Humse maafi mang rahi ho? (I'm a coward right? Then why are you apologising to me?)" Rehan asked pulling her chin up making her look at his eyes

"Humein kaam se mat nikaliye Sahab (Don't fire me from the job sir)" Sitara begged and Rehan smiled which scared Sitara more

"Kisne kaha ki tumhe hum kam se nikal denge? Agar tum nahi kam karogi to kaun karega? (who told you that I will fire you from work? If you won't work then who will?)" Rehan asked and left her chin

"Tumne Jo kiya hai uske bad itni asani se tumhe Jane de itne ache bhi nahi hai hum. (After whatever you have done I can't let you go so easily I'm not that good you see)" he continued making Sitara more scared

"Tum kaniz ho hamari aur sab kam karogi jo hum bolenge. Ab chalo ye pani fek do aur ha agar Haweli Mein kisiko pata chala ki wo tum thi jisne Humse badsaluki ki hamari ammi to tumhe zinda dafna dengi. (you're my maid and you will do everything I say to you. Now throw this water and yes if anyone in the mansion knows that it's you who misbehaves with me my mother will bury you alive.)" Rehan said and pulled his legs out of the water
