Nandini woke up with puffy eyes ..
She slept crying ..

She went down from her room
Went inside her parents room and saw her father is still in a blank state

She slowly pushed the door of his room completely and went inside and kept her hand on his hand ..

Nandini:Appa please don't be sad ..she said and rubbed his hand a little ..

Her father angrily closed his eyes and stood up and hit her on her face so hard ..
She fallen down on the ground ..

She was in a shock
This is the first time her father ever hit her ..

The print of her fathers hand is on her face ..

"Because of you she died! ..she went to buy something for you ..
And she didn't come back..
Why do you have to kill her ..

Why did you kill her"..he shouted at her ..

Nandini: mom died because of me?..she mumbled ..mom died because of me ..she mumbled with slowly tears falling down her eyes ..

"You killed her ..you shouldn't have been born ..you shouldn't..he shouted ..then she could've been alive"..he was in depression ..

He loved her mom more than anything more than nandini in the whole world ..
Her dying broke him more than anything ..
He is in depression

He dashed out of the house after he said that and Nandini sat there still in a shocked state

She moved to the corner of the room keeping her legs upto her face..she sobbed slowly..

Time:6:30 pm

It's evening and her father didn't returned back yet ..
She stood up and went to kitchen ..
Took the apples from the fridge ..
Washed them under water ..
Took the knife and tried to cut them ..

She cut herself many times ..
But still cut the apples ..

As she went out of the kitchen ...
Her father came inside the house ..
He was drunk ..so much that he is unable to stand properly too

She with shaking hands ..went near him and kept the plate near him ..

Nandini: please eat something daddy ..she said with a trembling voice ..

"Leave me alone"..he said angrily ..
He tried to walk inside and she holded his hand ..

Nandini: you didn't eat anything from morning daddy ..please eat ..she said and he got more angry than normal ..
And pushed her hardly
"I said leave me alone"..he shouted and went inside his room

Nandini woke up slowly .with heavy pain in her head ..

There was blood all around her ..
She is hurt badly ..
Her eyes are closing ..
But she stood with so much struggle..
Slowly went outside of the outside of the house ..

Everything is spinning ..
There is blood dripping from her face ..
Covering her eyes ..making everything red around her ..

As she didn't eat anything from morning too ..
All the energy drained and fell unconscious after she crossed the house gate ..

Everyone around came running to her ..

A man with black clothes completely covered from top to bottom ..came near her and raised her head ..

"She fell unconscious ..she is hurt badly ..
Call ambulance"..he said and another person beside him nodded his head and called an ambulance ..

He lifted her in his hands and slowly rubbed the blood on her face with his black cloth ..

"You will be fine .. child"..he mumbled in her ears ..

And she was taken inside the vehicle ..

"Someone has to come to the hospital"..a nurse inside said and everyone looked at each other ..

"For fucks sake..that man mumbled ..I am coming ..he said to her and sat inside beside her
