Chapter 1
A big mansion is shown. Then, in a small room, a girl is shown waking up at 4 AM. Slowly, her face is revealed—it's our Avni. She folds her mat—yes, she sleeps on the floor—and puts it on the small table. Then, she starts cleaning the whole mansion. After that, she washes all the clothes that were in the bucket for cleaning. Once done, she presses all the washed clothes and then starts making breakfast.
After completing her work, she checks the time—it is 7 o'clock. She quickly freshens up and, after doing her morning chores, begins worshipping Lord Ganesh (Gannuji/Bappa) in her room at a corner, as she is not allowed in the temple inside the house.
She joins her hands and closes her eyes.
"Please, God, keep all of us happy. Don't let anything bad happen to anyone. May everyone be blessed with peace and wisdom. Okay, now I have to go—I am late for my job. And yes, please, please support me," Avni says, smiling at the small portrait.
Walking down the stairs, she is moving toward the door when suddenly she hears someone scream.
"AVNIIII!"
Hearing the voice, she shivers, feeling scared, not knowing what will happen next. Turning toward it slowly, she is welcomed by a tight slap, making her fall on the floor with a thud.
Lifting her head, she slowly turns to look at the person with her teary eyes—none other than her aunt, Hetal.
Hetal was a cunning lady who could do anything for her benefit. She married Avni’s uncle, Ketan, just for property. But later, her dreams were crushed when she found out that all the property was in the name of his older brother, Ashish, and that Ketan was just a caretaker of that property. Ashish lived abroad with his wife, who was pregnant. Soon, Ashish’s wife, Ayesha, died while giving birth to their daughter, Avni, whereas Hetal gave birth to her daughter, Riya.
On one side, Avni was raised with love and lived a luxurious life. On the other, Riya was raised under her mother’s cheap mentality, who only filled her with hatred and envy toward Ashish’s family. According to Hetal, Ashish was living the life that should have been hers.
Hetal’s wish came true when she learned that Ashish had died in a car accident. But her happiness was short-lived when she found out that before his death, Ashish had named all his property to Avni, and only 5% of his total wealth was given to Ketan.
Later, Avni was brought to their house because, according to the law, being a family member, Ketan was responsible for taking care of her and her property until she turned 18.
Time passed, and Hetal started torturing Avni in every possible way. She treated her like a slave and punished her for even the smallest mistakes. When Avni turned 18, Hetal forced her to transfer all her property in her name. Being a kind-hearted girl, Avni signed the papers, thinking that maybe now her aunt would love her like she loved Riya.
But she was wrong.
Hetal’s behavior became even worse. She started punishing Avni even more severely.

"Didn’t I tell you that I only want fresh juice every morning?! So how dare you give me juice made an hour ago?!" Hetal yelled, gripping Avni’s arm tightly and pulling her closer.
"A-Ac… actually, Aunt… I have to go to the café early today, so… sorry," Avni stammered, hiccupping.
"Oh yeah, speaking of the café, where is this month’s rent?" Hetal demanded.
"H-Here," Avni said, taking out the money from her wallet, but to her misfortune, Hetal snatched it all away.
"A-Aunt…," Avni mumbled, staring at her in shock.
"What?! Now go away. But first, make fresh juice for me, then go wherever you want," Hetal said angrily, making Avni nod in fear.
"O-Okay," Avni replied before walking toward the kitchen to make fresh juice for her.
She returned while Hetal was sitting, scrolling through her phone.
"Aunt," Avni said, passing her the glass of juice.
Hetal looked at her and took the juice.
"What?! Are you going to keep standing here?!" she asked.
"A-Aunt… I-I need money for bus fare," Avni whispered, lowering her eyes.
"Why?! Didn’t God give you legs?! Walking a few kilometers won’t kill you! Now get lost from here," Hetal shouted, making Avni nod. She turned and walked out.
