Next day I wake up and I am totally happy about meeting Rishav..I put on a new dress and go to Holstein Café .Rishav was already there.He wore a pepe jeans with a blue t-shirt his hair was wet as if he had taken a bath just a few minutes ago.He waved to me when I got in the café.We both hugged each other.Our conversation went like this.

Rishav-Hey honey...U looking tooo good!!

I just didn't reply..its totally new for me..

Rishav-What happened..You told you were ok with me calling u honey...werent u?

Me-Oh yeah..

Rishav-So you wanna order something..One choco frappe and what else?

Me-I'll have hot chocolate..

Rishav-So I heard you were dating Vishnu..

Me-Yeah..I just had a break up yesterday..

Rishav-That's great

Just then I get a call from appa to come home as it was late..

Me-Rishav..I am leaving..Appa's waiting..

Rishav-Should I drop you honey?

Me-That's sweet of you..but no thanks.I'll manage.

Irushed out the café like a madman.I felt so guilty of not able to attend Rishavvery well.I caught auto and left for home.I rang the bell.It was opened by Ammawith Durga in hands.Amma had a disgustedlook in face.I was confused.As a custom I came in and arranged my slippers inthe rack.Appa was sitting on the sofa with Rambha with an angry look. "Whatswrong Rambha?".Rambha looked at me and sighed.And then what happened will benever forgotten by me in my entire shitty life./Appa stood up,gracefully walkedtowards me and gave me tight slap.I was startled with this sudden madnessappa.I caught a glimpse of amma sobbing in the kitchen out of grief with Durgacrying on her arms.I wasn't able to get the situation.Rambha had an evil smileon her face.I felt like what the hell is happening in my life.First Amma andappa plan for so many babies,then my personal life is ruined .Even after 65years of independence don't I have any freedom as 14 year old.Maybe I candiscuss this issues with the UN.They are violating human rights. "You were bornto ruin our name,stupid fool.Rambha my little sweetheart caught you and Rishavin a café having moments together.How dare you?"He dragged Amma out of thekitchen who was all wet in tears and gave her a tight slap.Durga profuselyshaked and her cry became even louder. "This what your daughter has done to all ourlove and care"said appa.Love and care???You haven't even treated m, like apoor orphan.I totally don't get appa.Amma caught hold of appa's leg and wassobbing bitterly,"Please forgive her,she is a young soul swami.I plead toyou.Appa gave her another slap and amma could do nothing but sit at appa's feetsobbing and pleading for me.If I were Amma I would have returned a much tighterslap.Appa took away my phone and dragged me to my room.He burnt all my goodclothes except some salwar suites.I was so very disgusted.What??I am in lovewith somebody and we haven't even kissed so whats so wrong.He dragged me to theroom and tied my hands and legs.He called in amma and Rambha and asked them torip off my blue pallazo and courtesy girl expensive top and give me old salwarsuites that were supposed to be given to Aasha,our maid.Amma stood at thecorner,while Rambha was ripping off my clothes.She was crying but I knew shewas pretending and was quite happy doing this job.I was crying out for help."Please don't rip them off Rambha,I plead"but Rambha didn't stop while ammafell out of unconsciousness.Rambha put me the old salwar suite and tore them atcertain parts purposely.As soon as she saw Amma she ran to call appa and appagave her,her asthama pump and she was all ok.I was left there all tied.I tyriedto open those ropes but they were way too tight..Next morning Rambha enteredthe room.With the breakfast it was a roti.Rambha mouthfed me.Then appa came in and opened the ropes and asked me toclean the floor.I was maid then.i stopped going to school and had to dohousehold jobs.Months passed and nothing changed.I was treated like a maid.Iwondered if Rishav might be still waiting for me.Everything was getting backto normal.Then oneday when amma had to go to the kitchen to check the rasamshe handed me Durga.I relished that very moment with durga.Her eyes with thatambitious spark,her smile which could light up the entire room,her cute littlenose and her glamorous cheeks.Only the skin tone........Just then I felt like it isreally very urgent to pee.I just coulnt wait.I kept Durga on the sofa and ranto the bathroom.After a few minutes,when I came out of the bathroom.I heardRambha scream...Amma! And amma ran to the waranda where Durga lay in a pool ofblood.Rambha looked all horrified
