I stumbled on my feet looking at him in front of me← NAKED→. He had just a towel wrapped around him. His abs were shredding out like they wanted to be visible to acknowledge everything as they could so far as they were pushing pretty much hard from inside. His hair were wetty and vapour was pouring out off his body as I think he had just completed his hot water shower session. I pressed my both palm around my eyes to not look more.

"What the hell are you doing here?" .... I questioned.

Well, that's an absurd question. He answered.

MANIK, are you following me? What are you doing here?

DON'T YOU KNOW MY FULL NAME. He swinged his eyebrows up and down in curiosity. I removed my hands from my thoughtful eyes.

Whatever, he said made my mind think over and over about it. SHIT, he is a MALHOTRA. I gulped my saliva which was forming up due to the heat which I felt daggering at me from his winy sight.

Yo--uuu live here. I stammered, shit, I hate myself for acting so dumb lately.

This is my fucking house and you are saying, what the hell I'm doing here. By Saying that he tried to come close near me. I gulped my saliva again.

M-AAN-I-KKkkkkk.

He: Hmm...

What are you doing?

Nothing, just looking at the sweat beats formed on your forehead. Doesn't someone feel hot lately on this not so hot night. He said while rubbing his cold fingers on my forehead to clear the sweat beats off me.

"I removed his hand from me as soon as possibly I could. Yes, because I was working". I clarified.

Didn't my mom tell you not to work? He questioned.

"Yes, but how do you know that? You weren't even there that time".

"News spreads quiet fastly over here. Like the naked back photo on the board this morning".

I looked at him even more widely. Wha--tt are you talking about?. I hesitated because I was feeling a bit uncomfortable at the time as he was naked and I didn't want him to know how I was feeling about that forged picture. I don't want to open up my feelings with him.

I think Kanta is calling me, so I will go... I said while trying to sneak away but I wasn't able to as he put both of his hands onto the wall blocking my way out.

Now, WHAT?. I gave him a look.

My milk?. He blabbered.

Did the number of your eyesight have risen?. Can't you see your glass of milk on the table there.... I pointed my index finger to the glass which was on the table. I snapped my fingers at him so that he could come to his senses. He looked at the table and then turned back at me.

"My hands are paining today because I tried to break my car window as some dump IDIOT made me angry".

I hope that your another hand starts paining too as you tried to harm me. IDIOT...DUH, I want someone to know that I'm not their so called JAAN. So they need to learn how to talk with a girl though.

I'm shy at a point but if you try to mess with me or my family for no reason. I won't stand you a chance. I don't know what is happening with me?. But whatever my NANI said when she was taking her last breath. I can rebound those rumbling words around my ears like they were buzzing me not to forget it.

Kanna, I could leave this vessel anytime soon. Don't you forget this ever, you have to fight for your own rights, no matter whoever is in the competition with you, never let your guard down, do not let anyone harm you, at those times you need to be strong as possible. This world is a place where people who are closest to you, can harm you for their benefits. BEWARE... Whatever you see, you feel could just be a lie too. BEWARE... BEWARE...BEWARE. this word has affected me a lot. My NANI loved me so much that even in her last breath she gave me a golden lesson.

"FIGHT FOR YOUR OWN RIGHTS".

He took the glass of milk and gave me a wicked look. I wasn't able to understand what was that look for but later I got the answer. I was numbed when the warm milk flowed down from my head to toe Making me wet within it.

I looked at him angrily.

Someone needed to cool down. He smiled with wink.

What the..... He cut me off again.

"Now-a-days, you know some people think too much high of themselves". Self pity poor people aren't they.

Why the hell do you even thought for a second I will say JAAN to a poor worker's daughter like you. Have you ever seen yourself in a mirror. You need to work alot on yourself.

I gave him a fake smile *HAHAHA* you are telling me to look at myself in the mirror...huh.. have you even look yourself first. Your looks don't matter if your heart is blackened from inside. For e.g a cake looking delightful from outside but when it was cut open they found a dead rat into it. Would you eat that cake MR MALHOTRA. No, naah... It's just the same for you, that dead rat is your heart and it's stinks. I stormed out saying this and rushed back to my room.

SHIT... Fuck my life. UGH... I said too much today. What if we get thrown out of these house because of my misbehavior. AYYAPPA HELPPPP ME OUT. I prayed for help. I was breathing even more faster.

Rishabh plays too much with his toys though. He has been playing since I arrived. I don't know when he started playing. Maybe from morning, I guess. Atleast someone doesn't have to worry about problems in our family. Rishabh saw me standing at the door.

Diiii... Rishu smiles looking at me.

Yes, rishu.

You are covered in the milk, don't you know wasting food is bad manners, he pouted angrily.

Umm, sorry rishu. I put my fingers on my ears in way to gesture him how sorry I was. I slipped onto the floor due to water. It won't happen again.

Okay, then. He turned back to his old self.

You know an uncle came here before. He was so nice to me. He waited for you for like 10 minutes I think but he had some work to deal with so he went away, he said he will come whenever he gets time. He left a package for you.

PACKAGE??? What kind of package?? I asked.

But Kanta took it. Bring it back will you?. I think it could be a biggggg train set for me.

Rishu.... Okie I will bring it back. Don't you worry.

I got FRESH-N-UP again and changed my clothes into pink color night wear.

I went back to the kitchen and saw Kanta drooling at my package. When I entered the kitchen her facial expressions changed after looking at me.

Is this for me....?

Yes, I guess. She handed me over the package. It looked like she doesn't want me to have it, I don't know why?... But she was acting strange. Her facial expressions were Changing simultaneously at every moment.

What is wrong with this girl? I thought in my mind. Why everything is so strange today???.

I took the package and went to my room. I put that package on the floor it was kinda big, wrapped in a gift paper.

What was it?
