Khushi's P.O.V.

.

Entering into my home, I rushed to my room. Getting freshen up, I made ablution and said my prayer. When I was done with my prayer, I got downstairs.

Kaki was preparing our dinner. So I helped her in the kitchen. When dinner was almost prepared, Abbu and Vai came back from office.

They were still looking tensed and directly went to their respective rooms. "Maybe they are going through difficulties in business." I thought in mind.

I wanted to know what's going on with them. I wanted to talk to them. I wanted them to talk to me. I wanted to be a part of this family but I never made it to be one. I tried my best but only to get failed.

They had always ignored me. And I still don't even know why!

At dinner time in the dinning table, I thought of talking to them but seeing their face, I lost my confidence. After finishing my meal silently, I cleared the table and got back to my room.

Entering my room, I heard my phone ringing. It was Payel. Picking up the phone, I went towards balcony. She was still upset as she was leaving and was hesitating to talk to me.

To divert her mind, I told her everything whatever happened in Esha's house. Hearing me, she spoke up, "Khushi, they seems to be nice people but about your tutoring Esha, talk to your family. What if they got to know by themselves and misunderstood you. You know what I mean."

"I am thinking of talking to vai tonight." I spoke up after keeping silence for a moment.

"That's good. But Khushi, can't you really talk to them about going abroad for higher studies? I mean at least try yaar." She spoke up hopefully.

I didn't want to disappoint her and spoke up, "I will try."

"Okay then. Let me know whatever they say. "

I replied to her, "Okay. Got to go now. Allah Hafiz." and cut off the line.

Then I went towards washroom and made ablution. After prayer, mustering up some courage, I forwarded towards Kowshik Vai's room.

I knocked at his door for several times and then heard him uttering with annoyance, "What is it, Khushi?"

I entered his room fearfully and found him working on a file. I uttered slowly while looking at him, "Is anything wrong vaia?"

He looked at me confusingly. So I again spoke up, "Abbu and you are looking tensed today."

Hearing me, the frowned his eyebrows and uttered, "Why are you bothering to know!"

Sarcasm was dripping from his voice. To my defence, I uttered confidently putting extra emphasis on some words. "Why won't I? I am also a member of this family, vaia."

When I heard him saying, "Member! Stop kidding yourself, Khushi. You were just an unwanted person in this house as well as in our life.", I could clearly see his eyes filled with hatred for me.

Though it was not my first time seeing it, my eyes got watery as I uttered whispering, "Vaia!"

He again spoke up filling rage in his voice, "Just because of you, my family turned out to be like this. If only you weren't there, then" but before he could complete his sentence, his phone rang off.
