AUTHOR'S POV

Mornings are refreshing right !!

but not in this house 

A warm ray of light peeps ...through the cracked window, gently kissing on a girl's shoulder as if morning itself adored her.

She slightly opens her eyes and frowns as it's late. she quicly runs to bathroom and does her morning routine then strips and goes for shower 

Ignoring the scars like it's too normal for her she wears a  dress , which looks like even a begger would refuse to wear but she just wears it it's not her choice she thinks it's her fate and quickly rushes down

And she has accepted that 

MISHIKA'S POV

DOWNSTAIRS

HE CHATTI MAIYA !!

{"Oh Goddess of the Sixth Day!"}

I am late 

Jaldi Jaldi Mishi If you want to eat today hurry up !!

Whoa !! I can make a world record 😎 as I kneaded the dough for paratha (aalo ka your's author's fav.) prepared poha and almost done sabji and tea is on the way in just 20 minutes {tried and tested by me}

I was almost done then the air in the kitchen changes the smile on my face flattens and I was processing just then someone SMACKS me and loud shrill voice echoed

"Aaj nashta milega ki nhi ? "

{"Will we get breakfast today or not?"}

I turned , heads down and said

"Ji .....bas abhi hojayga"

{"Yes... it'll be ready in just a moment."}

Her twisted with mock and said

"Lagta to nahi hai. Jab maharani aaram mein padi rahengi, to yahi hoga na."

"Bas bistar todne ke kaam aayi hai."

{"Doesn't look like it. When the queen herself is lounging around, this is bound to happen."

"Just good for breaking the bed"}

I tried to make up by saying

"Nahi vo kal shruti ka pair dabane ki vajah se raat me der se sone gayi thi isliye uthne me deri ho gyi"

{"No, it's just... I slept late because Shruti's legs were hurting last night. I was massaging them, so I got up late today."}

(So let me tell you that shruti is an absolute bitch always manipulates mishika and have 4 bf with whom she she roam around in the name of study jealous of mishika beauty always finds the ways to trouble mishika  and manipulates bua about her and make mishika do all her work )

"Accha ab isme shruti ki galti hai"

{"Oh, so now it's Shruti's fault too?"}

"Vo bichari kal raat der tak padhai karke aayi thi, thak gayi thi. Usne bas itna kaha ki pair daba do, aur tujhe to usme bhi takleef ho gayi."

{"That poor girl came home exhausted from studying, and all she asked was a little foot rub. And look at you... acting like you climbed a mountain."}

"Aree kisi kaam to aa ja... doosron pe apni galti daalne se to accha hai kuch kaam kar le"

{"Useless. Just try being helpful for once, instead of dumping your faults on others."}

"Nahi... aisa nahi hai, main bas-"

{"No... it's not like that, I—"}

"Zyada zubaan mat chala... haath chala!"

{"Don't use that tongue—use your hands!"}

"Ahsaan faramosh naatakbaaz!"

{"Ungrateful drama queen!"}

And she turned and was about to walk then stop and said 

"5 minute mein sab log neeche aa rahe hain. Nasta ready hona chahiye — aur sab kuch sahi se karna, warna... tujhe to pata hi hai."

{"Everyone's coming downstairs in 5 minutes. Breakfast should be ready — and make sure everything's perfect, or else... you already know what'll happen."}

"Tu aaj khana nahi khaayegi. Tere late uthne ki yeh saza hai. Waise bhi, ek din nahi khaayegi to mar nahi jaayegi. Aur agar mujhe tu kuch khaate hue dikh gayi... to tera aisa haal hoga ki tu khud ko sheeshe mein bhi nahi pehchaan paayegi."

{"You're not eating today. This is your punishment for waking up late. Anyway, skipping one meal won't kill you. And if I catch you eating anything... I'll make sure you look so ruined, you won't even recognize yourself in the mirror."}

And just like that she walked away

Although she is my BUA but she does'nt act like one

Hurry up mishi you have ony 5 minutes

I arranged the table as everyone started arriving then stand at a corner , when everyone sat on the table I served everyone and stand again at my place it's not like if she would have allowed me to eat then I would have seated with them even then I had to do the same and wait for the leftovers and yeah it's my routine 

SLAP!!

I was standing there zoned out just then someone slaps me so hard that I stumble backwards I lifted my eyes to see bua 

Just then she yelled

"YE KHANE ME NAMAK TERI MAA DALEGI !!!! "

{"Is your mother going to add the salt to this food?!"}

I quickly made my head low cause it happens daily and I know talking back to her would lead to more problem for me so I just muttered a small "sorry"

She frowns and fisted my hair and said 

"Sorry ha....."

I yelped in pain , before she could do more fufa ji jumped between and said

"Sumitra (bua) ise dang ke kapde pehna aur aadhe gante me niche bhej Mr. Romano won't wait long hurry up and hide all her marks and and please don't make new for now "

{"Sumitra (bua), get her into something decent and send her downstairs in half an hour. Mr. Romano won't wait long. Hurry up—and cover all her marks. And please... don't make any new ones. Not for now."}

Bua stopped and said

"Ji"

{"Alright..."}

I was shocked cause I knew today bua won't leave me .She laved me and walked upstairs to take someting Questions started to rise in my mind 

Who is Mr. Romano ? 

Why did bua leaved me after hearing his name ?

Is he my savior ?

Why do I need to go to him ?

My chain of thoughts was boken by shruti with venom and fake sweetness in her voice

"Tcchhhh... Ow little bitch is confused let me clear you my dear sister Mr. Dante Romano is a mafia and exclusive one for you so little slut you are basically sold to him and he will use you just like us but wait wait don't be happy for getting fucked he will throw you someday but you know what .... "

As bua enters will a clean pair of clothes and said 

"Aee ladki ye le aur jaldi taiyar ho ja shruti ke papa niche wait kar rahe hai"

{"Hey girl, take this and get ready quickly. Shruti's father is waiting downstairs."}

I quickly got upstairs cause I know questioning them will be of no use and stared getting ready

AUTHOR'S POV

She stood still, dressed in white —
not as a symbol of purity, but of quiet surrender.

The suit hugged her frame like a memory she couldn't shake off.
That soft, pearl-trimmed dupatta rested on her shoulders like a burden too gentle to be blamed, but too heavy to forget.
She didn't cry

WHY TO CRY FOR UNDESERVING PEOPLES 

THEY ARE NOT WORTHY 
She didn't speak

CAUSE SHE KNOW THERE IS NO ONE TO LISTEN.
But the way the golden light touched her face, you could tell — something inside her had already shattered.

The white looked almost cruel on her —
as if fate had dressed her for peace, but left her heart in war.

Her heels stood steady, but her soul didn't.
And in that silence,
she wasn't a girl dressed up for a moment.
She was a goodbye wrapped in grace.

But something inside her her was happy like her life was about to change 

There was a good feeling about it

A HOPE MAYBE !!!
