Two broken souls were sleeping on the floor; one was outside and the other one was inside. Both had dried tears on their cheeks.
Neev woke up, stretched his arms, and stood up. All the memories of the previous night flashed in front of him.
He opened the door and found her sleeping on the floor, hugging herself.
He sat in front of her and stroked her cheek lightly.
"So finally this b***h tamed you." It was Kaira, his sister.
"Kaira," he stood up.
She showed her palm. "No, bhai (brother), don't come close to me."
"It's nothing like that, Kaira. You see, she is sleeping on the floor. I punished her," he said lovingly.
"You know, na bhai (brother), we have to take revenge on her," she said, and he nodded.
"Hey, b***h!!" "Wake up." Kaira pulled her hair, and she woke up with a jerk.
"Aaahhh," she winced in pain while Neev's hand curled into a fist.
"I am not a b***h," Zara said a bit loudly.
"You saw, na bhai (brother), she raised her voice at me," Kaira said to Neev.
"How dare you raise your voice at her, huh? Say sorry to her," Neev shouted.
"Sorry, Kaira dii (sister)," she said meekly, looking down.
"What, Kaira dii (sister), you b***h, call me 'mam,'" Kaira shouted, clutching her hand, and the bangles pierced her hand.
"Aahh," she winced in pain.
"What happened, Zara? It's hurting," Kaira asked, and she nodded, at which Kaira clutched her hand more tightly. Blood started coming out of it because of the broken bangles.
Zara didn't say anything and looked at Neev with teary eyes...
"Kaira, leave all this; I'll handle her," Neev said to Kaira, and she left her.
She cried, blowing air on her hand, while Neev stood close to her.
"Don't shout at me, master. I am sorry; I will not disturb you," she said, looking down.
"Go and freshen up," he said, and she nodded and went inside the room and sat on the floor trying to take out the glass pieces that pierced her hand...
"Aahh," she blew air on her hand.
"Why are you sitting here, huh? Didn't I tell you to freshen up?" Neev said sternly.
She didn't say anything and went inside the washroom. She stood under the shower and cried her heart out. She didn't know why they were doing this to her.
She wore a simple dress and filled her hairline with vermillion.
"Go and cook some dessert for us," Kaira ordered as Zara descended the stairs. She nodded.
"Words!" Kaira shouted.
"Ok, ma'am," she said meekly, and went inside the kitchen, where servants gave her a pitying look. She didn't say anything and started making gajar ka halwa (carrot pudding).
She served Neev and Kaira and stood silently looking down.
"You b***h, who told you to add peanuts, huh?" Kaira shouted, throwing the bowl.
"Look, bhai (brother), she tried to kill me; she added peanuts to it, you know, na bhai (brother), I am allergic to it." Kaira said, looking towards Neev.
"Who told you to add peanuts?" Neev asked. She didn't say anything and looked down...
"I asked something, Zara," he shouted.
"No…no one," she replied meekly.
"Then why did you add," he questioned.
"I don't know…" Her sentence was cut by a hard slap. No, no, it's not Neev; it's Kaira who slapped her.
"You b***h, you deserve a punishment; just wait." Kaira pushed her on the floor.
"Kaira" never tried to say…
"Leave all this on me; I'll handle her, bhai (brother), Kaira replied.
Kaira went to the kitchen and took two chapattis and 4 spoons of red chili powder on a plate.
"Have this," Kaira said, forwarding her the plate...
"Nahi, I want to go home," Zara cried.
"You want to go home, huh? If you did anything against us, then your dad's company will go bankrupt. Just one call and everything will be finished," Kaira said with a smirk.
"Please don't do this with me. What is my mistake?" Zara cried.
"Your biggest mistake is you are Mittal's daughter," Neev said.
"Now have this," Kaira said.
"Kaira, baccha, leave na," Neev said.
"No, bhai" (brother), Kaira said.
"Hey, you b***h, what are you waiting for? Have this now."
Zara didn't say anything and started having the chapati with red chili powder. Tears started flowing from her eyes. Her face became red. She was coughing badly while Neev shut his eyes tightly; he wasn't able to see her in that condition.
"Pani chahiye (want water)," Kaira asked.
She nodded.
Kaira forwarded a glass of water and poured it on the floor.
"Tch tch tch, baby wants water… Ok, then have the water from the floor," Kaira laughed, seeing her condition.
"Bhalo, ap chalo mere saath (bro, come with me)," Kaira said, holding Neev's hand.
"Kaira, who..." Kaira cut him off. "Leave her, brother, She will not die this soon," said Kaira.
"Hey, you listen, you will clean all this mess and wash my clothes and also cook for us," ordered Kaira and dragged Neev out of the mansion.
While Zara cried sitting on the floor…
"Ma'am, are you fine?" asked the servant.
"I am fine, and please don't call me 'ma'am'; I am also a servant like you," said Zara softly, and she stood up while the servant gave her a glass of water.
She cleaned the floor and also washed Kaira's and Neev's clothes and cooked food for them. Her throat and stomach were burning because of chili powder.
After all the work, she sat on the floor and started writing in her diary.
