Continuing from previous part:-
Mahi's pov:

We are lost in each other's eyes well at least I am lost in his eyes . What happened just now is unbelievable if he wasn't here I'll fall from this long staircase and probably hit my head or broke my leg but he caught me on time in his arms —-wait— in his arms ! I'm in his arms no—-no—no this is bad I can't be in his arms .  I span out of his eyes and try to break free from his arms saying an awkward  'I'm fine now you can just leave me'  he look at me still like a wolf but thankfully his hold on me waist loosen and he say in serious tone  ' watch your steps why you always in so much hurry to go away from this house !'

I look at him straightening my kurta and say  ' it's not my fault my slipper slipped on marble floor' .

'But aren't you trying to rundown the stairs quickly !'   he question back and I nodded because he is right I'm trying to escape from this house well basically him but that I won't tell him .

He didn't talk further and walk away giving me an irritated look which surprisingly I didn't expected cause usually when a guy save girl he look in her eyes romantically and ask her if she hurt or not it's shown in shows and movies but here he just gave me an irritated look hmm means he isn't interested in me well that's very good .
I check my ankle and there isn't any pain which I didn't feel means time to run home .
At 8 i reach my home and got welcome with smell of alcohol and empty bottles , maa cooking food in kitchen well our kitchen consists only a small corner of our small house but at least this home is our own and not a rental one so I have no complaints with it .
My eyes fell on my father who is sleeping after consuming a lot of alcohol as usual so I just don't bother to go his way and go to my maa and ask her  ' umm yum smells good what you made for dinner ?'

'Aloo gobhi your favourite'  she reply giving me a warm smile .
After maa got sick when I'm in class 10th she stopped working and instead of her me and my brother Manu(Manindar) works but even after staying at home she do all house chores and occasionally try to work in other homes for money but we refuse it well me and my brother only refuse it our father always encourage her to work not for the good reasons.

'Give me three chapatis coz I'm super hungry and some pickle too'  saying so I sat on floor for having my dinner and maa handed me plate asking about my college time to which I tell her I didn't go to class.

' but why you never miss your classes ?'  She ask with worry to which I told her about addy... I... mean that Adhvait .

'Adhvait back there so simran mam ordered me to clean his room and stuff that's why I skipped class'  I say while chewing my food and she smile big this time hearing about it .

'sacchi Adhvait baba is back this is so good how he look ! Must be like some movie hero right'  she say in excitement as if her own son come back from abroad.

'Nah he looks like a gorilla ready to pound on people'  I laugh on my own joke but she just disagree on it so I have a sigh and say  ' fine fine he looks like all those rich people out there full of confidence, rich aura, tall and yeah somewhat like heroes in movies'  .

Her smile come back and she advised me  ' I know you don't like them but please don't do anything which push them to fire you as you know it's difficult to find a good job nowadays' .

I drink some water and shrug my shoulders  ' I didn't do any mistake at work maa and you know what I didn't even argue with Simran mam the moment she ordered me to skip my class so I believe I'm doing my job with fluency'  I defend myself so that she drop her worry of losing this job .

'That's like my good girl . I make rajma chawal for you in lunch when you come back from college okay'  she say creasing my head slowly and I break her offer informing her  ' I'm not going college tomorrow too as there is a party in mansion so I have to be there to see kitchen' .

She nods in understanding but papa woke up asking  ' party ! Means they'll going to give you food afterwards too right ?'  listening his voice all of a sudden I choke on my water but soon i reply  'yeah I'm hoping for that at least I can bring some starters from party' .

'Than bring some whiskey bottles too they are loaded with whole alcohol bar , shorting on 2-3 bottles won't came in their notice'  he say shocking me like he literally telling me to steal alcohol from party for him .

I got angry but tell him in serious tone  ' I cannot steal alcohol from party if they catch me they'll throw me out of job' .

'I don't care just bring those pricey alcohol for me'  he roar like a mad beast.

' No i won't do it'  I answer back without fearing of him . So he try to hit me but manu come in between and stop his hand pushing him back.

Shivering I run to my room while my manu and papa's arguing voices coming inside my room but at this moment I have to hide my tears . I stop crying in front of others since the age of 10 to not show them how weak I am hiding tears is more difficult then crying but it won't give others chance to laugh at me and the least I want people to laugh at me for my tears for my weakness that's why I hide these..

After half an hour:-
Manu come in room and say  ' I'm sorry Mahi don't take papa seriously you know he is drunk' .

I try to look away from him cause if I look at him he'll know i cried .  'I know don't worry'  he held my hand and say  ' it's ok to cry sometimes mahi and we are siblings you can at least share your pain with me' .

I sigh and sit with him telling him about how scared I got when papa was about to hit me , he say  'just wait for two months than we'll be free from him' .

'What how ?'  I ask him all confused.

'Well i send him in rehab so we'll be free from him at least for a year just small amount of fee can keep him away from us and if their treatment is going well maybe he'll stop drinking'  manu explain me on which I'm not sure but what's the harm in to try .

In morning:-

'Maa where is my suits/salwars' I call out to her .

She come in and say  ' actually I washed all pairs of your suits salwars  but here wear these jeans and kurtis I iron these properly'  passing me my dark blue jeans and lemon yellow kurti .

' but I wear these in my college programs only just give me one of my suits'  I only have three pairs of jeans and kurtis and i don't want to wear these in front of those brats cause they'll surely insult me for my fashion sense.

'Mahi those clothes are not dry yet and you can't be late today just wear these besides there's a party in mansion you'll look professional in it. Please wear these'  maa told me and seeing no option left I decide to wear jeans...

At mansion:-

I enter in to find all the arrangements done , cooks is ready with food , decorations done waiters here seeing all of these I thought why masters order us to be in party when there is no work for us just watch these people huh not one day leave is allowed.

My eyes fell on Adhvait who standing near staircase and I remember he told me to come in his room first when I arrive here maybe something important he wants to order so to avoid lecture afterwards I go to him , he is talking on phone so I stand behind him  and when he cut the call i clear my throat and ask  ' you told me to come to you' .

He turn to me and take a minute to look at me from head to toe making me more conscious about my look  but he with emotionless face say  ' give me your phone' .

'Huh my phone but why ?'  I ask him confused

'Just give it'  he say little bit loudly this time so I give him while making faces and he continue say  'this will be with me during party cause I catch you talking over phone instead of working so this is payback time for you' .

' but don't have work in this party besides you know I don't leave my work for chatting over phone' I tell him try to take back my phone but he put it in his pocket say  ' but mom don't know it and if you defy my orders you'll be out of this job remember' .
I look at him with angry eyes but he just smirk and walk away.
Gosh I so so so hate him now because of him I have to endure this boring party arrghhh devil...

Pre-cap:-
' Why did you beat him up'  Mahi ask .

'My house my rules' Adhvait reply looking towards his room tv .

'but I was handling him by myself now because of you Simran mam scold me' she say in irritation through she knew she can't handle that creep alone but she won't admit it in front of him .

' yeah I saw that how well you handling him he was about to touch your b###st if I wasn't interfered he would've done it'  Adhvait say it in anger.

'That was my problem why do you care huh' she ask him cause she had enough of his confusing personality one time he is good and one time he became super bad .

Adhvait grab her and pinned her to wall say looking in her eyes  'cause only I'm allowed to do things to you'...
