Avni's POV

"Oh here comes the queen. Do we need to bow our head in-front of you? Where are your guards? "

I heard Randhir uncle yelling at me. I am sure Rhea has told it in her way to her parents. Why God? Am I that bad that everyone is punishing me?

"We are sending you to college to study not to create your supporters. Stop this studies and you have to marry whom ever we are telling that's final. "

I was beyond shocked to hear that. My dreams everything will come to stop now. Marriage?? But why do I need to marry someone?? Who will that be?
I started pleading them by sign language. But this irked them more.

He started whipping me telling that don't deny his order.
I saw Rhea smirking at me. After he was satisfied he left me there. Rhea came near and me told
" This is what you get for messing with me. Now sit here and be ready to rot in some donkey's house Ms. Topper. "

I ran to my room .My dreams are shattered. Where will I go if I run away from here? I have no one in this world except Randhir uncle and family. I can't become a burden to Sunheri and Tara Sitara. I slept crying.
