I said bye to him and started walking away. It was the first time I'd ever had a conversation like this with a guy. He was really kind, and I thought, maybe I can forgive Rhea after all.
When I got home, my aunt came storming down the stairs. "Where the hell have you been? Do you know I had to do all the work myself? What were you doing outside for so long?"
"I'm sorry, Aunty, I was just-"
She cut me off. "You and your excuses. Anyway, I'm going to the mall for shopping, and your uncle won't be home before 10. Make some snacks for Ayush, got it?"
And with that, she was gone. I was so angry, like, does she think I'm her maid? Well, that's certainly how she treats me.

Before I could finish, he stormed off upstairs, yelling, "You'll pay for this."
I knew this was going to turn into a big problem. He'd go straight to my aunt, tell her I slapped him, and she'd believe him without a doubt. But what ended up happening was much worse than I could've imagined...
