CHAPTER 6
I ran inside as fast as I could only to see that my mom shouting at the server for spilling the liquid on her dress. And I really don't understand in her drunken state how she was able to stand properly and shout at the man. I can see her eyes trying to close every now and then but she kept her posture intact to show her power. The server was almost shaking with fear. The way he was replying to my mom made me realize that he was worried about losing his job.
I went to my mom " Mom I don't think you should shout at him like that. I understand its his mistake spilling alcohol but you can handle it in some other way too right? " I asked her taking her hand in mine as she was about to fall.
She saw me with so much of hatred that I could no more hold her hand in mine and looked down. " So now you even have the audacity to advise me huh? Do you think I can't handle things well? Look I don't want to repeat this again but keep in mind that never try to interfere in our business " she said glaring at me. I just nodded my head and my tears were falling on my feet and I didn't dare to look at her again.
" And you, you will clean the whole mess before morning and leave the place. Understand? " she said pointing towards the man and I found him nodding slowly.
She just stomped her feet and left to her room. I can see that everyone was in their respective rooms and I was only one crying over my fate here. That man as ordered started to clean off the hall. When he saw that I wasn't moving at all he handed me a glass of water to stop my hiccuping. Along with others he started to pick up all the glasses, bottles etc. I was just watching them without any emotion in me and within an hour the hall was clear without any leftovers or anything. After they examined that everything is in place they were about to leave. Mom trusted watchman more than anyone coz he was the one who was keeping an eye on everyone while working.
" Wait up " I said while getting up from my place and everyone looked at me questioningly. I ran upstairs to my room and brought my purse. I gave them some amount of money to them but they denied saying that they have already received the payment from their boss. But I insisted them to take and they took it happily and gave me a huge smile. I even handed some amount to watchman who just nodded at me with a smile.
I again laid on couch not trying to process what mom had said earlier. Her words were ringing in my ears like alarm. I saw dad's large photo frame which was hung on the wall and tears fell non-stop from my eyes. When dad was alive, I was never neglected or atleast I can say that he never gave a chance for me to think that I was being neglected.
My brother Debashish and Debina were her only kids to mom. She always appreciated them, loved them, cared about them. Then why not me? She had seen me since childhood. Then why can't she treat me like them. What had I ever done to her to receive so much of hatred from her?
Okay she never saw me like her own daughter even when my dad was alive. She acted all along only for the sake of dad then why did she left me now like I am no one, like I am unwanted, like I am an orphan.
Am I really an orphan? Don't I belong to someone?
I don't want to think all these things all at once but her words today had awakened all the buried feelings within me making me feel almost dead.
I got up and went to my room. After I showered, I made my way downstairs only to be welcomed by a calm and noiseless hall. I went to kitchen and made myself some breakfast and ate in silence reminiscing all the past events. I know it's quite early even to have breakfast but I was in no mood to lie on bed and wait for the morning sun to rise.
I went outside and took my car and sped away not really knowing where I am heading to. I crossed many streets, lanes, many signals aimlessly until I found a place which can make me relax.
I moved ahead after assuring that my car was locked properly. I took small steps looking around the place. This place looks familiar at the same time it also looks strangely unknown. When I came here for the first time, I didn't expect that I will be so well acquainted with it but now I am glad that this place had really made me come back to it when I am going to have a worst emotional breakdown.
I sat at the same place where I sit and looked at the rising sun which will be lightning everyone's lives with its brightness. I had a smile plastered to my face when I looked at the view in front of me. I must say this place is really breathtaking and I am sure we can forget the world around us if we look at it. The rock where I was sitting was also huge so I folded my legs in front of me making myself more comfortable. I had been staring at the sunrise and for a moment I forgot all the incidents which took place hours ago and the reason why I came here this early.
I took my phone out and clicked few pictures of it and posted on my Instagram. I do have many followers not coz I had put some sexy photograph of mine but I had put nature photographs in it. I must say that there are many people around the world who admire nature. As I put all the pictures of nature around there are many followers for me.
I never followed anyone not even some of my friends or family members coz I don't want them to know that I do have some popularity in social media for my postings. Few don't even know that I do have account in social media.
I always put a caption below my post and this time too I added a caption.
There is always a ray of hope in life... never give up... Good Morning:)
I know I have lost the track of time coz my phone rang and I abruptly broke from my incoming thoughts. The time was already nine indicating that I was sitting here for almost three and half hours. There were few people who were jogging around when I came to fetch my car.
I reached home and saw that my family was on the dining table and I gulped the saliva fearing for my mom's banter. When she saw me she gave me a wicked look and Veda was also smirking as if she had won something precious while my brother was busy holding his head in his hands(probably hangover) and grandpa was missing means he was still in his room.
" Wow the princess had finally made her presence " she said and I saw my brother immediately rose his head and looked at me. " What made you to leave the house so early? Don't you think you should leave a note or inform someone about your disappearance? " she said clenching her jaws looking devilishly towards me. I was about to tell her but Debu cut me off.
" Leave it mom. She is not a kid to tell wherever she goes. And she is home safe and that is what is more important than all these discussion " he said and I was genuinely happy that he supported me.
He gestured me to go and I made my way upstairs without giving a glance at anyone again.
Mom used to always treat me bad but not to forget Debu bhayya always tried supporting me in some or the other way. Whereas Debina used to taunt me like I was burden to her. She got married six months ago before we shifted here and she is in states. I don't know when she will make her appearance here but whenever she comes, she will make my life even more hell.
I want this weekend to end asap coz I wanted to talk to Sunayn and I can't reach him out until the weekend is over.
