Adhira POV:-
1 week later........
Everything is going normal. Papa and Masi came back but they have changed.
But that also not in a good way but in a drastically bad way.
I hope everything will come back as it was years ago but God has other plans.
Things are getting worse...
From the time Papa came back, he is behaving quite differently. He looks stressed and frustrated. Maybe he is having some problems in his work that's why he is behaving like this .. and Kamya Masi has turned into more heartless and insane. Worse than before, now I get punished for every single and smallest mistake.
In these 7 days, I have got only 5 meals to eat even that also leftover of Masi and Papa.
Masi has strictly ordered me to cook only food for them and if they left anything on a plate then I would get to eat otherwise I am left with my hunger.
Papa didn't say anything he is too quiet, he didn't shout, scold nor beat me anymore. I know it's good but for unknown reasons, I'm getting negative vibes from this.
"Back to Earth !.." Startled by the sudden yell from none other Kamya Masi ..I looked at her
She was looking hell angry...Now what I did this time? I defeatedly asked myself.
She was holding a red saree in her hand. She threw that saree at my face, I flinched at the sudden hit but I caught it before landing on land. I looked at her with a questioning look.
"wear this and get ready ..we are going " She disgustingly said to me like I'm the most hated creature on this planet.
"But Masi where we are going ?" I asked her with a low but questioning voice.
to which she shot me a glare and soon I felt a stinging pain on my right cheek. I held my cheek to soothe the pain.
"never dare to question me ...UNDERSTAND " she yelled and I nodded while rubbing my cheek which just received a slap.
"Yeah !! look I did a good makeup for your right cheek...No need to use blusher .." She just happily said at her artwork on my cheek and within a second I received another tight slap on my left cheek.
" No need to use makeup I have done a great job ..Just wear it and come out, " She said walked out
I wiped my unfallen tears by rubbing my eyes.
I moved to take a shower and after spending a good 10 minutes in the shower I came out and wore that red saree with a golden blouse.
but this blouse has too much deep neck almost showing my cleavage and it's backless also. I don't wear this kind of revealing clothes.
I thought to call Masi and ask her for another blouse but I didn't call her because she won't. So why to call death on yourself by your own hand.
I arranged the pallu of the saree in such a way that it was covering my cleavage very much but the back problem is still there. How I would cover my back . ?
I freed my hair from my messy bun and let it fall on my back.
I looked at myself in the mirror and a smile broke on my lips.
"Perfect! Problem solves " I said to myself.
I took a final glance at myself.
My eyes fell on the two pendants hanging from my neck. I brought them to my lips and kissed them .
" I miss you mom " I whispered and a lone tear escaped from the cage of my eyes.
I wiped them and move out.
Masi and papa both are sitting on the couch and looking tense.
Papa is wearing a navy blue shirt with grey pants and formal black shoes.
Masi is too wearing a saree but in black color and looking more gorgeous.
"Masi you are looking very pretty," I said with a small smile but she scoffed at me.
Okay! look likes she didn't like a compliment.
" Let's go," papa said and with this, we three moved out and papa locked the door.
Papa and Masi settled on the driver and passenger seat and I sat at the back.
I don't know where they are taking me but I was feeling nervous.
maybe they are taking me to a party or finally everything is going to be fine.
maybe Papa will love me again.
We all were very silent but Masi and papa were seeking glances from each other.
I started looking outside the window. The trees were looking like they are running.
I closed my eyes when the wind hit my face.
It was comforting unlike the silence in the car and darkness in my life
With the days passing, I was losing my hope.
The hope to gain love from papa.
the hope for everything to become normal.
I came out of my trance when the car came to a halt. I looked at papa and Masi they were unfastening their seat belts. I got confused.
I looked outside the car from the window . We are at the Temple. They bring me to a temple.
Did God listen to my prayers ? Did papa is turning again to my old papa for whom I used to be a princess?
" get down Now ...Or should I priest to welcome you? " I flinched at the Masi's sudden voice
I nodded and came out of the car quickly.
Once on my feet, I ran my hand on the Saree to straighten it if it was disheveled from anywhere.
