" Sisira Woke up with sudden splash of water on her face", looking at her mil who stood with empty vessel in her hand which is dripping water drops from it.

Sisira sit back straight getting up from the floor.. After sravan's call she didn't know when her eyes shut in weakness..

"If you keep on sleeping!" Who's gonna do the remaining work? Her mil barked at her.. Sisira trembled under her gaze..

She lost her balance while getting up on her own so took the help holding the bed..

She wiped her face using her pallu.. And walked out towards kitchen to  find it messed up.. She clearly remember that she cleaned up after preparing lunch but now it became worse..

She saw the backyard which is turning to night mode.. It's early evening when sun is about to set down.. After cleaning up she prepared tea for everyone..

And went to kitchen to drink at least some milk.. As she won't eat any food other than liquids..
She started searching for extra milk packet from fridge but couldn't find.. And searched beside the stove to find the vessel with milk in it..

What are looking for? I have added curd to that milk.. It's summer don't you know milk might get break during summer. Do I have to remember that to set it for curd? Her mil stated getting the steel tea cups and threw in the sink..

That sounds of vessels made sisira head broke into million pieces, as she already feeling headache..

After some time when everyone sat to have dinner, sisira went and placed the hot rice bowl holding it with napkin and went back to kitchen to get other dish and placed it on table..

Few grains of cooked rice fell on her hand, she winced in pain due to the hot rice and took her hand back holding it with her other hand and avoided touching the wounded skin, She turned to see her mil who's adding rice in her plate..

Can't you see? I'm adding rice to my plate and in middle you kept the vessel. It's not my fault that you're keeping a pity face that I should tell sorry for you?

Sisira went back to kitchen with tears in her eyes.. She looked at the redness on her skin and let the tap on and water started falling on the wound making her want to scream.. But she shut her eyes and let go her pain in the form of tears..

After finishing their lunch everyone left to their rooms, while sisira done her work without any complaining..

She went back to her room having the sugar water just like previous night.
She couldn't get sleep due to her stomach which is starving but her tiredness made her tummy sleep along with her..

Next day:

Her SIL got back to her home taking kids as they have to attend school..

Sisira had her tea early, to get some little energy to focus on her chores.. After her in-laws had breakfast she went to clean up the table to find nothing left other than hardly 2-3 spoons! She had her little breakfast in kitchen standing itself and drank full glass of water which made her tummy full..

"I'm going to get vegetables", her mil shouted at her to which sisira dropped the glass which was in her hands..

Can't you hold the glass at least? Why the hell you got into my home? She started her ranting and left to buy vegetables..

Daas thought it's the right time, as soon as his wife left out his eyes turned devilish..

Sisira started preparing lunch for them. When she's busy in kitchen.

Daas moved inside kitchen and watching sisira, who's indulged in her work sitting on the floor and chopping the onions and chillies.. Her back was facing him. He moved closer and about to touch her,

Sisira turned in sudden feeling someone's presence behind her. Looking at him, she Stammering "anything you want dad?"

Yes, he said and sat beside her and took the burnol from his pocket. Show me your hand! Ohh no, how cruel is my wife!
I'm soo sorry child for not raising my tone against your mil. Let me at least apply this. How bad she is? Look it got inflammation..

No dad I'm fine, she said taking away her hand from him..

Don't worry dear, let me help you.. Who's there here other than me to take care of you, daas said taking her hand back..

Sisira's eyes turned moist when he started applying medication.. She felt happy that her FIL is treating her as daughter..

Daas after applying medicine his hands caught her palm. I know you miss your husband dear.. But never feel you're alone here.. In fact I'm with you always and will be with you.. You know you look so beautiful and I don't understand how my son left you alone here.. But I'm glad he did.. I'll take care of all your needs.

Sisira isn't feeling good as he caught her hand and palming it.. She tried to take her hands away but he didn't let her go..

Daas caught her shoulder and gripped it, sisira started trembling when he moved closer to her..

Sisira not at all feeling good.. She tried to get up and move out from kitchen..

Where were you going? I know what you want.. Let me treat you nicely.. You look so beautiful and perfect.. And no one is there in the house! Let's utilize it..

Hearing the last sentences, sisira eyes widened with shock, all his care is nothing? He's not thinking whom he is talking about!

Dad?

No don't call me like that.. I'm here to please you and pleasure you.. Come he tried to pull her..

Sisira pushed him back.. Dad I'm looking my dad in you. How can you think about me like this? I'm like your daughter!

You're like my daughter but you're not my daughter.. Stop unnecessary drama and come here. Daas sounded in high pitch and pulled her hand..

Sisira couldn't digest his filthy words and slapped him on his face and pushed him back..

Daas screamed out due to the chilli effect in his eyes.. He got up blinking his other eye and moved towards the sink and started splattering water again and again until his pain gets down..

Sisira ran out only to get bumped into her mil Making her fall back..

What the hell? Where are you running away? Her mil barked at sisira who is already frightened😢 due her FIL acts..

Mo-m dad t-ried to-!? She bursted into tears..

She's talking to her boyfriend! I caught her red handed now so she's speaking against me! Daas said to his wife while sisira stood in shock nodding no..

It's false maa I don't have any friends.. I swear she pleaded..

Looking around she saw no ones presence and hence her mil dragged sisira back into home holding her wrist..

As soon as they got into home she pushed her down on the floor making sisira yelp in pain..

How dare you to keep an affair? Don't you feel shame? Chi Chi how can you think to spoil our fame in society? Don't you at least think of your husband? She said moving towards sisira who's feared and crawling backwards..

Her mil gripped her hair making sisira scream in pain, How dare you do this ?
Huh! She roared at her hitting sisira..

Mom noo I didn't do anything.. I swear on my parents.. Mo-m leave me it's hurting, sisira pleaded her mil..

Give her a good punishment that she can never speak to anyone.. Daas said to his wife with wicked smile..

Yes I'll do that right now! Her mil said looking at sisira who's panicked 😫😱what'll they do now?

Her mil dragged sisira towards room holding her hair. While she winced in pain crying out in fear..

Now you'll stay in this room all alone.. Her mil's eye fell on her phone which is laying on bed..
From now I'll see how you'll talk to your boyfriend! She slapped sisira on her face making her scream in pain..
Even though she tried to explain there's no fault from her side. Her mil didn't listen to her while sisira is crying pleading, I didn't do anything mom..

Her mil left taking sisira's phone and locked the door from outside..

Sisira face is full of finger prints, her eyes got swollen, nail marks left on her hands leaving bloodstains..

You deserve this! Don't you?

Sisira turned in fear to look at the window.. Daas stood there and smiled at her..

You tried to complain unnecessarily! It's should have done everything if you kept calm. But you didn't.. I know you'll call your husband and tell about me. But you know what❓ no one will believe you. Unless I say that you're not having any affair..

So stop thinking about how to escape or how to prove yourself! If not Today? Maybe tomorrow I'll definitely get what I wanted. After all you deserve to be treated well. You have to pay for slapping me, daas said palming his cheek where sisira slapped him..

Sisira got up with teary face and moved towards window in anger and closed the doors on his face and sat back leaning to the wall..

Now what will I do? Who's gonna believe me? Sisira cried thinking how she's gonna get help..

Will sravan believe if I tell him about his Dad?

How can my FIL think soo low? Don't he think he's talking to his own son's wife?

To be contd....
