Home is a place, where you are always welcome and surrounded by those who love you but that is not same for all because i am nowhere welcomed and loved. But that does not stop me for hoping a better future. Because hope is the only thing which is stronger than fear.
My fear of being abandoned again. First abandoned by my mother who died giving birth to me and second by my father who refused to accept me in front of the world.
My thoughts interrupted by the alarm of 5 o'clock in the morning. Though i was already awake but who wants to leave the bed in winters. After getting ready i went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast and help in other household chores because i do not have school so i can help more.
But when i have school, my days becomes really hectic because i have to do school and household work both.
It's not like my maternal uncle and aunty do not have servants, they do but i am doing it since I was a little kid.
I know how to cook almost all the dishes, you just name it. And baking is my favourite.
"Maheer also prepare pancakes for Varun he wants to eat" i heard Mami's voice while i was preparing breakfast.
"And also prepare something good in the afternoon because my friends are coming and do not call me Mami in their presence".
Nodding in yes my mind drifted in the thoughts of how i am again denied social recognition of being part of the family.
Though it has happened countless time but the ache in my heart is stronger than previous. But can i blame them, the answer is NO.
Isn't it enough Mahi that they are letting you stay with them. But this does not lessen my pain because aren't humans beings greedy, always asking for more.
Till the time everyone finishes their breakfast its already 10 in the morning. And now I am preparing my plate of food to eat but interrupted with Mami's voice.
"Maheer what are you doing my friends will come at 12 and here you are filling your plate, how much do you want to eat this is the reason you are getting fat, leave this and start working i do not want any mistake".
"Yes Mami Ji i will immediately start the preparation".
"Do make gajar ka halwa, Mrs Singhania loved it last time".
Leaving my food plate untouched i start preparing the dishes. It's good that Mami came on time although i might have got late in making lunch. But my self talking session was cut short by my stomach growling.
"Shut up"i said pointing finger at my tummy.
I finished everything on time and guests are also here. I made coffee for everyone. I entered the living room and heard them talking...
"This necklace is so pretty must be really expensive" Mrs Sharma said.
"My husband gave this on our anniversary so obviously it has to be expensive" Mrs Singhania replied taking pride.
