The Turning Point

"Wo..wo jab aap dono gaye the, uss din..."

Flashback.

It had been just one night that Avni and Neil left for their honeymoon. Everyone was excited and were waiting for them to comeback soon and give them the good news.

The next morning, everyone was up and doing their work. After a while Misti came and started throwing a tantrum.

"Not fair mujhe bhi mumma aur daddy ke saath jana tha!" She said crossing her arms above her chest and pouted angrily.

"Arre Misti mumma aur daddy toh aapki wish poori karne gaye hai toh aapko kaise leke jate?" Shwetha tried to explain.

"Huh?" Misti was confused.

"Arre aap hi neh toh kaha tha raksha bhandhan pe ki aapko ek bhi chahiye tha, toh mumma aur daddy wohi wish poori karne gaye hai." Shwetha explained.

Prakash looked up from his file trying to figure out what his jhalli wife was saying.

"Par wo mujhe kyu nahi leke jaa sakte?"

Prakash's eyes widened hoping that his wife doesn't scar the poor child for life.

"Wo kya hai na beta mumma aur daddy bhagwan pray karte hai ki unhe ek baby dede aur agar bhagwan ko pata hai ki aap responsible ho toh wo baby ko mumma ki pet main daal dete hai." Shwetha explained in the most childish manner.

"Phele toh sirf english ki isszat looti thi par aaj toh biology ki bhi isszat lootli Swethaji ne." Prakash mumbled to himself but unfortunately, he wasn't very good at whispering.

"Kya kaha aapne?!" Shwetha asked in anger.

"Ku..kuch nahi!" Prakash went back to his file.

Misti went to her room to colour as she was getting bored of Prakash and Swetha arguing about the same thing since the past 10 minutes. As she took her books out, the door suddenly closed by itself. She ran to the door pulling the handles again and again trying to open the door.

"Dadi, Dadu, Bebe help please!" She yelled continuously crying but no one heard her.

"Misti tum toh hume bhool he gayi." A voice came from behind making her freeze. The most terrifying voice for her.

She slowly turned around and her eyes widened.

"S..sir." She barely muttered looking at the figure standing in front of her.

"Arre hume pehechan liya tumne wah. Acha laga dekhke ki tum hume bhooli nahi ho." He said bending his leg and kept it on the edge of the bed with a knife in his hand and rotating it. He then took long strides towards her glaring.

"Ziada kuch mat hona, yeh jo family hai na tumhare naseeb main nahi hai, bus kuch din aur phir yeh sab tumse durr ho jayege, aur phir tum wapas upne sir ke paas, phele ki tarah. Vidyut R. naam hai mera, main kuch bhi kar sakta hu, yeh toh tumhe ache se yaad hoga right? Aur agar iss ke baare main kisi ko bhi bata ya na toh mujhse bura koi nahi hoga." Vidyut threatened her.

Because of the fear, Misti fainted. Vidyut picked her up and made her lay on the bed and covered her with a blanket. He wiped her tears and opened the door so no one doubts that anything is wrong. Soon Bebe came to check on Misti.

"Arre yeh toh so gayi." Bebe closed the door and went away.

In the evening, Misti woke up with flashes of Vidyut trying to threaten her. She didn't tell about Vidyut to anyone. As days went by she became more and more sad. The family thought that she was missing avneil and didn't know the actual reason behind her sadness.
