2 ~ Solar Eclipse's Consequence

NANDINI

He slapped me. I touch my right cheek which is now burning. I looked at him with my red teary eyes.

"Deepak ji what are you doing? You cannot Slap your young daughter like this..."

"You don't come in between Aarti...she is spoilt completely. Calling me heartless..."

I keep sobbing as he came and stood infront of me.

"How dare you talk to me that way! You ungrateful girl. I fed you, clothed you, and gave you a roof over your head, and this is how you repay me?"

"Deepak ji please stop for God sake"

Mumma said to him while joining her hand and crying. But he didn't care as he continues.

"There is no place for a person in my house who don't respect me..."

"Papa what are you saying-

Abhi said but I cut him off while looking straight at Mr. Deepak's eyes.

"I also don't want to stay here for a second now"

"Nandini what are you saying...go to your room-

"Then what are you waiting for? Get lost from my house"

He cut mumma in middle of sentence

"Deepak ji what are you saying. She'll not go anywhere she is our daughter-

"She is not my daughter. She is the reason My Rama left me. I wish instead of her this girl have died that day."

"Deepak ji!!!"

And that's it. My heart broke.

"Since childhood no Matter how you behave with me i always loved you but today that love had died. The only thing in me is left for you is hate. So much hate. I hate you Mr. Deepak sen I hate you so much..."

I said while crying and started running to the main door when mumma and Abhi called my name and I stop.

"Nandu beta where are you going... Please calm down"

"Didi let's go in room come"

"Let her go she'll come back when she'll realise that she don't have any place to go except my house"

Papa said from behind and i turn looking at him

"No. I'll not come back again in your house Mr. Deepak sen. Live happily"

I said and ran to maindoor again. I heard mumma crying and Abhi calling me but I didn't stop. I ran to main door but before I step out i stop and said without turning.

"I wish that your wish will come true today papa"

And step out ran away.

I ran while crying. I keep running without stopping. as it's started raining drenching me but I didn't care. After running for sometime I stop at a highway middle of forest. I fall on my knees on wet road and cried out more loudly.
