Today was a hectic day . I wiped my sweat.

I locked the café . I pushed my scotty's key inside the hole and started it . I sat on it and rode directly to my aunt's house as the engine roared . It may be old , it may start after a lot of effort but it is my best friend .

You might be thinking ,how a vehicle can be someone's best friend .

Well ,it always helped me in my difficult times ,it really helped me . For example , while bringing groceries , while buying diapers or other baby products for Aaryan and medicines for mom , and many times .

All thanks to Mr. & Mrs. Choudary , Suraj and Tina ,who gifted this to me on my last birthday . I am really grateful to them .

I walked home . I took a deep breath before opening the door . As I entered ,I saw dad was laying on the sofa .

Thanking God ,I started taking careful steps towards stairs . I was about to climb when I was yanked by my hair .

"oww..!" I cried in pain . "You bitch ! Getting smarter day by day ,huh ?" came my dad's voice .

"No , dad . Please leave me , it's hurting," I requested, thinking he might have some feelings for his daughter but who am I kidding .

He pulled it more hard and slapped me across my face ,"You fucking piece of shit . How dare you talk back to your father ? You need a good lesson !" he said before opening his belt .

I shook my head vigorously,"no ,no . I am sorry," .

Soon a sharp pain occurred at my back making my cry louder,"ahh..! Dad, stop!" I told him to stop .

The room filled with my cries and the sharp sound of the belt . I tried to suppress my cries but it never stopped . I didn't want that small boy and my poor mom to hear all these sounds .

His hands searched for money in my pants pockets , today I have only 200 rupees with me . Unfortunately he got them . He shouted,"You bitch , today also you brought only 200 , such an useless thing you are,"

What can I do if I work in a small café and get a very small amount of tip ?

He threw Rs.100 on my face ,"Go and buy some beer bottles for me," . I shook my head and denied "No dad , please don't waste the money on this kind of harmful thing . Save them ,they are my hard work " . Instead ,he slapped me hard ,"Did you forget about your that bastard brother and your whore mom," .

I shook my head negatively and ran out of the house , picking the one hundred rupees .

I can't let my brother and mom get hurt . Not until I'm breathing .

Dad and I have a deal ,he will not lay a single finger on mom or Aaryan in return I will give him money too, everyday .

I walked near the beer shop , the drunkard men were laying or stumbling here and there .

After buying his beer bottles ,I kept the changes in a hidden pocket .
