Alarm clock rang breaking her sleep. She sighed and sat up,fixing her hair in a bun,she looked at the sleeping form beside her, she quickly slipped off the sheets and reached the washroom. she smirked mockingly at the reflection she saw in the mirror, her pale body filled with bruises and teeth mark , blood oozing out of her swollen lips, finger prints all around her soft skin. He had again been a beast to her, but now, she cared less. she walked up to the shower and let the cold water hit her body, she closed her eyes.......
Maa! the water is too cold, I want warm water, I can't have a bath in this, she screamed at her mother early in the morning.
Tears poured down as she remembered her mother, sighing she closed the shower and quickly dressed up.
she stood in front of the mirror, hiding the marks in her body with make up. she walked out of the washroom to see the bed empty],she knew where he must be and quickly cleaned the messed up room.
She walked up to the kitchen, made breakfast. she finished and walked into her study to find all her books scattered due to the last night's events, he was heavily drunk. she picked up everything and packed her bag for college and that when she heard him walk out of the room, She knew she had to severe the beast and practically ran out to reach the dining table before him. She looked at him taking a seat on the table, quickly flipping his plate she filled it with the his toast and taking a glass poured in the orange juice.
He kept scrolling through his phone to not glancing at her even once, she moved afar and waited for him to finish and leave. she heard the door shut with a loud noise. she picked up her stuff and left for college.
She walked for the college which was far from his house, she continued to walk till her legs ached, finally reaching her college.
she was sitting under the tree, where she always sat exhausted. she looked at the kids near the OUT PATIENT'S WARD running and laughing loud probably playing tag.
Neha come lets play hide and seek it will be fun. No khushi, we are just two come lest go call the others and then we could play tag.
She heard her period bell ring , walked up to her class and sat in a silent corner away from others with her head bowed down as usual.
