DARK NIGHT
Liya's P.O.V
Seeing everyone returning to class I took my mom's diary and returned to the class. 'Thank God Amenda and her crazy friends didn't see my diary or else they would create a big issue of that.
* * * * * *
'HOME TIME!' All the students left the class except me, I don't want to see my dad and brothers at all but didn't wish to get any punishment....So I left for home in the car [DAD'S CAR] ......I reached home, changed my uniform, completely forgot about the diary and went to sleep...Time Passed!
I woke up by my dad's voice who was shouting as a hell "WHERE IS THE DIARY? WHERE IS HER DIARY?" Oh no! It's with me, what should I do? Is it 12:00 midnight? Yup it is! Before I even plan to do something I heard "we saw Liya reading mom's diary, though we said her not to do that because you will be disappointed but she asked us to 'go to hell'!" Jim and Robet said. Damn! so that's the reason they handed me the diary.... I can hear someone's footsteps coming towards my room. It's dad!
I won't trust what he did, he calmly asked me to return the diary and of course I did as he said. After getting the diary he took out his belt and started beating me.....He bet me for more than half an hour almost.The whole house echoed by my screams, but this time I don't know why but dad didn't spoke a word or scold me, it was just me who cried and begged him to stop...The last thing he did was pulled my hair with his right hand and forced me to stand. I couldn't bare the pain so I said "please dad leave me! I am sorry!" then he nodded and threw me towards the table, OUCH! I got my forehead hit by the table corner. It was bleeding, I started crying more louder and what I saw was that my dad didn't even asked me that was I okay, fine or something like that. He just left the room and closed the door... My forehead was bleeding a lot and a few moments later everything around me went black.
* * * * * *
Hours later at 3:00 a.m. I woke up, might be I got unconscious, yeah might be! 'I am gone crazy, why don't I fight for myself' I thought... I feel thirsty I would die without drinking water. Hardly I stood up and walked towards the door. I was feeling so weak that I can't stand without a support..."why can't I open the door, am I locked here?" I whispered to myself. Yes I am locked here! "I want to come out, I am thirsty and I need to first aid my forehead too... Dad, Robet, Jim please let me get out of here!" I shouted again and again, but no one respond to me.
The time was passing so slow that I felt I was inhaling and exhaling once, for five minutes. I thought to open the window to get fresh air and see the weather outside... Nothing was visible to me the whole area was dark. It was a 'dark night' filled with pain."AAAH!" I screamed loudly what else could I do. I sat on the floor and some awkward thoughts entered my brain 'what if I will die today and cannot see the next sunshine? What if they won't let me get out of here at all? and blah-blah-blah!'....
Few minutes later I found somebody unlocking the door, it was Jim who entered the room, but why?He came inside and sat beside me. Then I decided to ask him "why are you here Jim?". He replied "someone needs water I think!" I felt he was teasing me but he didn't seem to do so. I changed the topic not wanting to continue "why you and Robet did this to me? I never hurt you right?" He seemed speechless but after two minutes of silence he replied " I am sorry sis! Please have some water!" He said while offering the water bottle to me. Why the heck is he giving the water to me? I am not gonna get trapped again in his plan so I asked him to leave the room but he refused to do so. In fact he said "please have water you might be thirsty!" he said making a puppy face. Actually he looked like a cute bro you know? But I don't want to trust him so I replied " I said you just leave the room Jim" with a small fake smile. He got angry and threw the bottle on the floor and left the room, and locked the door again...
Should I have the water? What if something is mixed in it? Huff.. I can't waste my time I have to go to school in the morning as well so I stood up and walked to the bed and laid down...Oops! Forgot to switch off the light, I stood up once again and switched off the light 'good night to me!' I said and laid down once again.......
* * * * * *
Finally! I can leave the night behind and start with a beautiful, bright sunny day! Hope everything will be alright today.

Only light can do that.
Hate cannot drive out hate;
Only love can do that.” {A short proverb based on the chapter.}
