"Pata nahi ye kaam kab khatam ho jayega, abhi toh padhai bhi baki hai?!" I was as usual busy talking to myself as I was winding up the chores given by my ~papa~.
He asked me to call him 'father or sir'when we are alone as he can't bear to hear papa from me, hesays "it is better to not have a daughter than having someone who doesn't even bring money to the table".
It hurts I know but what he said is also truth, I am currently studying only but I still have small job at a cafe , which he doesn't know. He thinks I do hang out with boys and get intimate with them for money.
Putting the broom down I was walking upstairs towards my mini world, I suddenly hear him say," Kal aaye samay desi daru ki bottle leke aana, box ki order di hai. Waise bhi kaunsa college jakr kama rahi hai."
"Ji sir, Kal 4 baje college chutte hi chali jati hu", I replied.
"Ha aur eak baat Kal savere paise table pr chode jata hu, rashan bhar lana, mehman aane wale hai badme ane baad khana bhi bana lena," then he walked into kitchen to fetch his Darul bottle and took chakna(salted peanut and cashews) and sat in hall drinking.
I went upstairs, took a bath came in the room only to find the door open,
I clutched my towel hard and took the pocket knife which I always keep with me no matter what,
I was just closing the door again someone just held my hand and put their big palm on my mouth, I failed to realise that there was a hankerchief on my nose too.
I was slowly loosing my awake state,only to see the thick gold chain on a thick neck with so lines of tattoo....
