Suffering

I came out of my thoughts when chilled cold water splashed on me.
"What are you thinking about yourself? Sleeping like a queen? Get up, my daughter and son are waiting for their morning coffees," I heard my aunt screaming at me.
"Aaahhhh, I'm sorry aunt. I didn't observe the time I will give them now," I answered her, getting scared of her reaction.
"Get up now. Do bring all of our coffees to our room," she ordered and walked out of the room. I stood up from my mat and then folded everything and kept inside. Yes, I don't have a bedroom nor a small mattress to sleep in. I sleep in one corner of the kitchen on a sleeping mat.
"There is no use of thinking about them," I thought to myself and freshen up in two minutes. I prepared coffees for everyone at home. Black coffee for her son, cappuccino for her daughter, filter coffee for her aunt and sugar less coffee for her uncle. She went to her aunt's room to give them coffee.
"Aunt, here is your coffee," I said after going into her home. The next second I sensed my cheek was in pain. I felt my head spinning and coffee cups slipped from my hand.
"How many times do I have to tell you to knock on my door before coming into my room?" She questioned me.
"I...I'm sorry..aunt," I apologized with a stammering voice.
"Now don't show your dirty crying face here..my husband is yet to wake up. Don't let him see your crying face," she ordered. I kept my head down and turned back to go out of the room.
"Who will clean this mess up? Do you think your mom will come and clean it?" She questioned me.
"I..I will do that right away," I answered and was about to go from there.
"Where are you going?" She questioned me.
"To get the mop for cleaning it," I answered.
"No need," she said and tore up my dress sleeve and handed it to me and asked me to clean the floor. I was shocked by what she was doing but I know if I say something she can go to any extent. I silently wiped the floor clean and then went out from there. I prepared coffees for everyone and then came out of the kitchen. Aunt, uncle and her daughter are sitting in the living room.
"Thank god they all are here I don't need to go to their rooms," I thought to myself and then gave them coffees.
"Go to my son's room and give him coffee," the aunt ordered, hearing that a shudder ran through my spine. If these people are bad he is a living monster with no ethics.
"What are you thinking? Have you become deaf?" My uncle shouted.
"Mom, my bed coffee," he shouted from his room.
"See, he already woke up and was waiting for his coffee. Go now," her daughter ordered. Not having any option to escape I slowly took steps towards his room with a scary heart.
I knocked on his door and waited for his reply.
"Come in," I heard his voice from inside. I slowly opened the door a little bit and peeked into the room. I looked around and he was nowhere to be seen. I heaved a sigh of relief thinking that he must be in the washroom and this is the correct time to keep his coffee there and get out of this room as soon as possible. I thought to myself and opened the bedroom door. I entered the room and then kept coffee on his bedside table. I turned back to go out but to my bad luck he was standing there at the door by leaning on it. He smirked seeing me. He slowly came forward and he started taking steps towards me. I moved back still I hitted the wall and stood there not knowing where to go. He came to me and kept his hands on the wall like caging me between his arms.
"What babe trying to escape from me?" He said and bent forward to kiss me on my lips. I dodged it so he missed to kiss me.
"Oh, playing hard? I love it," he said and kept his hand on my waist while he grabbed my hair with his other hand. He pulled it hard and started moving his hand up to my breast.
I raised my hand and slapped him hard on his face and lifted my knee by kicking him in his stomach. He held his stomach and cheek in pain. I felt that it's the right time to escape from him and moved.
"Ouch, you b****. You dared to hit me and think you can run away just like that? I won't leave you today," he said and dragged me back with my hair.
He slapped me hard on my face and forcefully hit my head against the wall. I tasted a salty flavour inside my mouth.
"Don't think that you can escape from me. I will never leave you and I know how to make you mine. Just wait for your birthday which is in 7 days," he said and then bit my neck. I felt disgusted with his touch and doings. He came forward and licked on my cheek from down to up. Tears were flowing down from my eyes continuously. He left me and moved back. I wiped my tears and moved to the door. When I was about to open the door he warned,
"Don't think you can go and complain to my parents. It won't be of any help to you."
I didn't reply to him because I know he is right. I tried to complain to them about him but that day aunt and uncle beated me alot saying I was putting false allegations on him and locked me in a dark room for a week. I looked down from the stairs and found the living room was empty. I went to the kitchen from there calmly.
