The only sound I can hear in my room is of me sobbing. I tried to pretend to be normal on the dinner table when papa talked about how I shouldn't have gone to delhi without telling him prior about it.

He said he would have happily arranged my stay there If I told him that I wanted to study in Delhi instead of me running away without informing.

I couldn't even meet his eyes when he talked about it knowing that he doesn’t know the truth yet and he thinks that I went to Delhi because I thought he wouldn't let me study anything apart from law and medical.

But how do I tell him that I didn’t run away from the house for studying, infact Aakarsh bhaiya was the one who enrolled me in Prachi’s college and I agreed only because I was getting to do as I pleased without any restrictions.

Advay bhaiya hasn’t returned both mine and Aakarsh bhaiya’s phone even after Aakarsh bhaiya talked to him after the dinner. And if my elder brother thinks I would also beg him to return my phone then he is more delulu than me.

I can’t even call Agastya from anyone else’s phone such as the guards or my house helps because how the fuck did I not memorised his number! 

I want to call Agastya, I want to know if he is alright. Even though he didn’t say anything when my brother dragged me I know he felt hurt, I saw it in his eyes, I know he wanted to stop me but he couldn't!

Probably because it has something to do with my brother.

I wouldn't put it past Advay bhaiya to threaten Agastya from stopping me. But if that’s the case, how will return back to Agastya? What if my brother does something much worse than just beating him?

A strangled cry leaves my lips as I bury my face in the pillow which is soaked with my tears. I push myself up on the bed hastily wiping my face in anger.

I am going to get my phone back and I am going to call Agastya. I have to tell him not to worry about my brother even though there are many reasons to worry about my brother. But I will figure something out.

I always do! I won’t sit here crying and waiting for Advay bhaiya to grow some heart and empathy for me and my husband.

Agreed that I kept a huge secret from my family but Aakarsh bhaiya accepted it so easily, then why can't he do the same? Why can’t he become a better brother like Aakarsh bhaiya to me?

Why does he always have to ruin things?

I scurry down from the bed putting on my slippers as I reach for the bedroom door. I haven’t bothered to wash my face whatsoever, if anyone sees me in this state they will get to know how miserable my life becomes when Advay bhaiya is around.

The door to my bedroom creaks open slowly as I poke my head outside in the dark corridor, there is a guard standing at a little distance from my bedroom right beside Advay bhaiya’s bedroom indicating that my brother is not in his room yet.

I close my door leaning my back on it as I try to think about ways to steal my phone back but I am not sure if he has kept it in his bedroom or his study room. But it's only ten pm so I don't think he will be back in his bedroom so early.

And If I don’t find the phone in his bedroom I can wait until he is back here and then go search for the phone in his study room.

How would I know if I don’t try searching for it first?
