It was the third time in a row. They were still whispering behind by back
“Did you see that dress she's wearing? Looks like she's going to put on a strip show”
My sister and her friend started giggling. It pissed me off but I ignored it. I just brushed it aside and walked into the basement.
“Let’s go play badminton”
That was the fourth time she declared to go playing badminton. No, not suggested. she was the queen and we were her knights but I was tired of playing badminton all morning, I even suggested we play something on her Xbox but her mom intervened and told us all to play badminton like her daughter said
I couldn’t take it anymore. I asked her for the WiFi password or atleast the iPad password. So that that I could play games until the both finished playing badminton again. She refused to give it to me and she laughed .
“Even the walls, the sofa and the floor your standing on is mine. Why should I give you anything when you don’t listen to me?”
She laughed and said something to her friend again. I was at my limit at this point
“Give me the phone. I want to talk to my mom. I want to go home"
“No"
“What do you mean no. I want to go home"
“I said no. It’s mine. Arya and I are leaving to play badminton. Oh and you can try to take the phone and call your mommy but you don’t know the phone’s password”
I felt helpless. I couldn’t go home. I couldn’t tell her parents because I didn’t have to, they were there they heard and they didn’t bother to correct her. It hurt so much I cried on the floor, I couldn’t use the sofa. It wasn’t mine. It was hours until someone even saw me. They knew though. They called my sister back home for her milk and conveniently ignored me. Vineet walked into the basement once. He looked at me like I was filth in his mansion and walked away.
They finally came and talked to me at 9:00 in the night. They got scared I guess I cried too much. They didn’t say a lot. Just that mum would pick me up at the metro station the next morning. Did I mention that they forgot to feed me dinner too? I left in the morning. Home at last . Welcoming, loving, caring supportive. Atleast I thought.
