• Dharani pov

• I completed my work and went down hoping he will be staying there but he is not at home that means he went to office. I felt so much pain in my cheeks because of hitting. I wanted to have some food but I am not in a state to do it. I wanted to sleep badly I thought and slept on the floor. I felt immense pain in my body parts but slowly I drifted into sleep hoping I will never woke up.
• Someone is shaking me. I am hearing some voices they are trying to wake me up but I don't want to wake up I want to go to deep sleep.
• "Dharani" someone is calling my name no shouting my name. I tried to open my eyes but they are so heavy I again tried and saw my husband. I quickly got up with a jerk which resulted in causing me pain.
• "Why didn't you prepared the dinner" he asked me. What dinner that means I slept for almost ten hours but usually I don't sleep for four hours but today I slept so much time. And I didn't prepared dinner that means he will punish me again.
• "Please don't punish me I don't know how I slept for this much time" I said to him covering my face with my palms thinking he will slap me.
• "Now get up and prepare dinner" he said and left from kitchen. He didn't hit me but why? I thought and prepared dinner for him. I served him and he ate with silence. After he left I cleaned his plate and had my dinner in the kitchen and then I slept on the floor.
• Next day he didn't went to office. I started working but just then I heard the doorbell and went to open it. I saw a man of my husband's age standing at the door.
• "Yes", I asked him.
• "Is Akash home" he asked me.
• "No, I will call him" I told him and asked him to have a seat. I went to his room and knocked it after a few seconds the door got opened and he came out of the room.
• "What?" he asked me angrily.
• "Someone has came to meet you" I told him.
• "Ok you go I will come" he said and I nodded and went down.
• "He said, he is coming" I told him and he nodded. I went to kitchen to make some coffee for him. When I came out of the kitchen I saw my husband and the other person are talking.
• "Sir, coffee" I offered him and he took the cup I moved to Akash and he denied it.
• "By the way Akash who is she?" the other man asked him.
• "She is the maid of this house" he told breaking my heart. I looked at him with teary eyes.
• "What are you looking at go and do your work" he yelled at me and I went away from them. Upto now I thought he will change his decision in making me maid but today he proved it that I am his maid. I finally accepted my fate and I accepted that I am just his maid. When my own family treats me like a maid then why won't he.
• Akash POV
• ***********
• "Hi bro" dhruv my best friend greeted me when he saw me. I greeted him back and we settled ourselves in the couch.
• "When did you come?" I asked him. He went to London for some work few days ago and it's the reason he didn't attended my marriage.
• "Last night Akash and today I thought to meet you so I am here" he said to me.
• "It's ok dhruv you can come whenever you want" I said to him. Just then Dharani came with coffee. She gave one to him and came to me but I denied.
• "By the way Akash who is she?" dhruv asked me.
• "She is the maid of this house" I told him and looked at her she looked at me with teary eyes. You deserve this because you married me for money.
• I shouted at her to go from there and she went away. Later we talked for sometime.
• Later he left and I got a call from dad asking me to go to dharani's home and give the gifts to their family members. I said I have some work but he didn't listened to me and told me to go there. I thought I will leave her there for few days and I can live happily till then. I thought this and I went to the kitchen. She is deeply engrossed in her thoughts I went to her.
• "Dharani" I called her and she jolted being scared.
• "Ahh" she shouted and turned towards me.
• "Yes" she stammered.
• "We are going to your house" I told her and she widened her eyes.
• "B.... but w.... why?" she asked me.
• "Dad asked me to do that" I told her and she gulped.
• 'Why is she afraid to go to her house?' I thought.
• "I..... is it necessary" she asked me.
• "Why don't you want to go to your home" I asked her and she didn't said anything.
• "Pack your bags we will leave by evening" I told her and she looked at me shockingly.
• "Bags are we staying there more days?" she asked me.
• "Not we, you are staying there" I told her and she gasped. I didn't said anything and went to my room.
• Later we went to her house and their family members invited us. I got settled on the couch but she is still standing. I didn't cared about her and I asked my driver to bring the gifts and he brought them and kept them on the table. I can see the greediness in their eyes seeing the gifts maybe she is also like them only.
• "What's the need for this son" Dharani uncle asked me while taking the gifts.
• Huh greedy man. Just then sanaya, dharani's sister came and sat beside me.
• "How are you, handsome" she said giving me her best fake smile. She is such a b**** she always tries to get attention I am observing her from the day I saw her. . She tried so much to get me on my wedding day but who is she trying huh.
• "I am fine" I told her.
• "I think I should leave now I have some work" I said and got up hurriedly.
• "But please stay here for some more time " that b**** sanaya held my hand and it irked me. I took my hand out of grip angrily and walked further but again someone held my hand I turned to give her a big warning but.....
