Chapter 2

" Wake up "

" Wake up girl. You dont have much time. Wake up" someone was shaking me but I didnt want to wake up.

"Please 5 min. more."I said in my sleepy voice. But guess my reply was not liked by the one who was shaking me because in the next moment I got a hard strike on my back. I jumped up from my sleep and sat straight only to find Sheela aunty glaring daggers at me.

" Who will do household chores ?" she shouted making me flinch.

I quickly moved from my sitting position and stood straight. My heart was started pounding at the horrifying site of dayan  in front of me. Yup ! Sheela aunty is dayan. I hate her but moreover I dread her too.

" I'm sorry. I will start doing my chores this instant". with that i ran away in the direction towards the kitchen.

After few hours

I was done with my chores and now I was just pouring the dal in the bowl to eat. Anita di  prepared the food for the whole orphanage. It was her duty but as I was late I was only having the leftover food, i.e, only dal and some limited quantity of rice which was not enough for me. Veggie and chapati was long finished and hence I have only this.

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING !?!?" I shrieked when the bowl and the plate filled with rice slipped from my hands after I heard that dayan's voice. I looked in her direction but what I saw was making me wished I shouldnt see.

Her eyes were red in anger and her fists were clenched.

She looked murderous.

But blood drained from my face when I saw the  leather whip on her hand which was fisting in one hand.

Oh no ! she would beat me again.

" YOU GIRL!! HOW DARE YOU !?!?" She yelled.

"YOU STOLE MY JEWELLERY. MY PRECIOUS NECKLACE WHICH  WAS WORTH 20 LACS. GIVE ME MY NECKLACE BACK GIRL OR CONSEQUENCES WILL BE DIRE."she screamed with such high pitched voice that i knew for sure every single person living in this orphanage would have heard her.

" I didnt steal anything. What do you mean aunty? " I stated in my timid voice but all I get was her eyes glaring daggers at me.

She walked towards me with anger in her eyes and grabbed my wrist in a tight grip, then dragged me towards the main hall. My heart was pounding in my chest and sweat formed on my forehead. Her grip tightened suddenly making me cried out in pain.

"LEAVE MY HAND. YOU ARE HURTING ME. LEA-LEAVE MY HAND" I cried out loudly but dayan is dayan. She didnt listened me and tightened her hold more if possible.

Tears flowed from my eyes because of pain from the tight hold and with scenarios flooding in my mind of what would she do to me. She whipped me yesterday night and was again going to do the same. I started struggling in her hold when we reached the main hall. As expected all were gathered in the hall to watch the show this dayan intended to make.

She suddenly threw me on the floor. I looked at her and started crying and begging her to believe me I didnt do anything.

"please lea-leave me. Lea-leave me. I did-didnt do any thing. Leav-leave me." I begged to her but all i saw was evilness in her  eyes.

"SHUT UP GIRL!! INSPITE OF ALL DOING YOU DARE TO BEG ME. NO MERCY WILL BE SHOWN TO YOU. NOW SEE WHAT I WILL DO TO YOU. LAST NIGHT PUNISHMENT WASN'T ENOUGH FOR YOU BUT NOW I WILL MAKE SURE YOU NEVER DARE TO STEAL  AGAIN." She yelled looking at me with eyes filled with fury. Then she looked towards the other members of this orphanage glaring daggers at everyone.

My eyes frantically searched for Vimla Masi. Only she could save me but to my badluck, I was unable to find her.

"EVERYONE WATCH HER!! SHE IS THE ONE WHO STOLE MY NECKLACE. SEE WHAT I WILL DO TO HER NOW !!" she yelled at all the person who were there at that moment watching  me with their hawk eyes.

With that she raised her whip and strike me hard which instantaneously led a scream to escape out of my mouth. But again when she raised her whip, I staggered away and somehow stood up on my feet.

I didnt know where I got this courage suddenly but what I did shocked not only everyone but me too.

"YOU DAYAN!! CHUDAIL!! MAD WOMAN !! WHY ARE U BEATING ME ? YOU ARE ALWAYS ANGRY WITH ME. I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU! " I shouted at her at the top of my lungs with the tears that were rolling down my eyes. I was glaring at her with intense hatred.

The next moment I knew, I throwed my slipper with such force which striked her hard, straight to her face. It took me a moment to realise what I did.

Everyone were shocked.

I was shocked too.

Everything became calm and quiet.

No sound, no movement.

" YOU BITCH !!!"she yelled after taking a moment of what I did.

Huh !? I am not a bitch, I am a human. Has she lost her mind? I thought confusedly.

I didnt had a time to ponder upon my actions or what did she say.

And I did the only thing which crossed my mind....

Run.

" Tell me On which day did you said to return my money back and what day it is now? " I asked in my calmed voice to my prisoner who was currently all tied up on a chair in my basement. His face was showing extreme fear. Fear towards me. But dammit he still didnt opened his mouth.

He was all beat up and bruised as he got the most special treatment from my men. They whipped him, punched him, slapped him, used pliers on him  as well as other torture devices and what not.  But alas!!  this bastard had got  some strength in him.

I looked towards Viraj and he just understood what I mean.

He came towards him and gave him a tight punch on his face with as much  force as he could mustered.  Punch after punch on stomach, face and wherever he seems fit. Viraj was continuously punching him like a punching bag.

Bastard!! What he was thinking while taking money from me. He fucking deserve this...!!

He was bleeding but I dont give two shits.  What I knew was that he cheated me. He betrayed me. It was two years. Two damn years ago he promised to pay my money back on the pretance that his wife was ill and he wanted money urgently. Now it was after two years , still he didnt paid back. But what boiled my blood when I came across the fact that his wife was never ill. Infact this bastard was a divorcee. He divorced his wife a long time ago and was still childless. He just wants to spend my money on gambling. He did but unfortunately he lost all my money and went in hiding so that he wouldnt have to pay my money back.

Too bad !! one more life will be end by my hands. But do I regret? NO.!!

"Come on, dont waste time now! Tell me where is my money?  You promised to pay me. You borrowed my money on the  pretance that you want money for your wife treatment.  But you see bastard, I came to know your wife was never ill nor you were having any children. Tell me, what should I do now I came to know that you not only failed to return my money but also lied to me two years ago and then ran away like a thief.?

" I -I will ret-return you-your money, just wa-want some t-time. Pl-plz let me g-go."

" Why would I do that? I have given you enough time. Isn't it?" I asked smirking at him.

His eyes widen after seeing my smirk. What does this fucktard think I would leave him now !! I dont show mercy to anyone, especially those who betrayed me.

I stood from my chair with one swing of my leg and pointed my gun towards his forehead.

"P-plz leav-leave me. I m sorry!! I am sorry !! Plz plz plz leave m-- " I cut him off with one trigger of my gun  straight in his forehead.

He deserved it.

I looked towards my men who were present with me in the basement and they all were having a neutral expression, like nothing happened. Good!! because if anyone of them showed me a fear he would receive a punishment too for being a weakling. My men should be strong and fearless. I dont want any of them to have a soft heart.

"Viraj, where is Vinay? I send him to fetch the file from my office. Why is he so late? " I asked Viraj looking at him. " You know that file is very important to me. It contains all the information related to those Mishras. Call him and tell him to bring me file by 6pm. I haven't gotten all time to wait for that file. Tomorrow is a meeting with those Mishras and I wont let them win that deal. This deal is important for our company. Of all people you and vinay should know by that." I stated.

" Dont worry Boss! I already called him and asked him for the file. He said he will be here by 4pm only."

"It better be" with that I walked out of the basement towards my room.

My house is not a typical house. It's a mansion. A very big mansion. Lots of servants and maids are here to do all the household chores. For cooking, there are special chefs who are expert in their field. I always prefer excellent, not good. People who are excellent can work for me and those who are not eligible are not appointed.

I walked towards my room and straight in my bathroom to take a cold shower and rub all filthy blood marks on my body meanwhile thinking how to  handle these Mishras who are my rival in business.

I ran and ran as fast as I could to save myself from those people who were currently running behind me.

I didnt have a time to think where should I go and thus I went straight to the trunk of an expensive looking car and hide in it.

That dayan thought I had steal her expensive necklace. She called me a thief. For the first time it had happened  to me. Someone calling me a thief.. How dare she??

My line of thoughts were broken when someone opened the driver's seat door and next moment car engine started.  Oh no!! where I am going?

Car started at his full speed and now only god knows where I am going.

After sometime, the car stopped. I waited for that person to get out of the car. I dont want to be caught again and hence I have to be very careful. Vimla masi told me never to go outside and dont interact with strangers. Now I am all alone with no one whom I could know.

After waiting for sometime, I quietly got out of the car and looked around me. Oh my! it's a big mansion. So beautiful. I haven't seen any such beauty in my entire life. There is a garden as well and lot of trees which enhance the beauty of the mansion. It seems like it is any princess home, or it could be any prince home from those stories Vimla masi always talked about at night to me, giving me her best bed time stories.

" Hey girl!! Who are you?" someone shouted. I looked towards a source of the voice and saw a bulky looking man was coming at a fast pace  towards me with full intention to catch me. He was looking very angry.

Oh no!! I am dead.

I immediately started running towards the mansion door hoping  any prince or princess would save me like in those stories Vimla masi told about.

" Hey stop!! where are you going!! stop girl !! HEY SOME GIRL IS ENTERING THE MANSION, STOP HER GUARDS" He shouted at the top of his lungs ordering few other bulky looking men. They all ran towards me. Oh no!! i dont wanna be caught.

With full speed I ran across the mansion door and straight to the spiral staircase. I had no time to admire the beauty of the mansion. All I was having in my mind was to save myself  from those demons who were running behind me to catch me. I managed to hide behind the wall of a corridor so that those demons could run straight without catching me and then when I got the chance, I again started running. I dont know where my feet were taking me but by hiding myself and saving myself from  those demons, I managed to reach the door of some room and forced it open.

Wow!! this must be the room of a prince or a princess. This room is so big like in those stories Vimla masi always talked about.

I quickly shut the door and went straight under the bed to hide myself from those demons.

Hahaha!! How stupid were they. They werent even able to catch me.

When there were no noises outside the room, I dont know when, but slipped into a dreamless sleep once again.

After taking a cold shower, I found myself quite relaxed. I wore my t-shirt and jeans and got out of the bathroom. It was 3:50 pm. I picked up my phone and quickly called Vinay. My heart and my mind was focused on that file which I had ordered Vinay to fetch from my office and hence I couldnt rest until I destroy my rival in tge business. They should know what happens if someone dare to mess up with me. That file was having each and every detail of those Mishras and their history of how well talented they were that they werent even able to handle a simple deal. How would they manage to handle this deal which is worth crores of rupees ? If I presented those files to the main authorities I would get this deal which would not only benefit me but my company as well.

Vinay quickly picked up the call in two rings.

" Hey boss!! "

" When will you reach here?" I asked in my stern voice.

" Woah! woah! calm down man. I am sorry I am late but you shouldn't blame me. There was a big traffic jam, hence why I got late."

" Ok! tell me now where are you?"

" Currently in your kitchen eating my lunch. Sorry I was quite hungry." Stupid bastard.

" You know how much I waited for you to get me that file and you were shamelessly in a kitchen, busy in feeding yourself?" I asked with anger lacing my voice.

" Calm down man!! I just reached here and you weren't even allowing me to eat. It's not fair." He said annoyed. But do I care? I want that file now, and I  am having every right to express my anger if he is irresponsible.

"Just Shu--" my voice hanged up when I saw a small peice of cloth laying on the floor coming from under my bed.

I quickly cut the call and as quietly as I could kneel beside that cloth and removed the bedsheet from the floor.

I looked under the bed and what I saw shocked me to the core.

WHAT THE HELL !!!
