Mahi took a deep breath and entered inside her house. A small smile played on lips remembering how Abadhay asked her if he needs to come inside and talk to her parents if she was hesitant.
After that horrifying incident he managed to bring a smile on her face.
Mahi was lost in her thought when her father's loud voice brought her back to the present.
Where were you Mahi?? Prakash Rawat questioned his daughter in a hard tone.
Mahi looked up at her father and made an excuse.
Actually Baba some emergency came up and i had to rush to the hospital for the same . Mahi lied not wanting to worry her father about today's incident as she was all ok now and nothings bad happened, all thanks to Abadhay.
But she didn't knew that pushpa (her stepmother) had already filled her father's ear and they also witnessed her getting out of Abadhay's car through the window.
If it was emergency then why didn't you informed us earlier and left just like that and your phone was also not reachable too.
Prakash questioned his daughter again expecting her to confess the truth .He didn't want to believe what pusha told him but his daughter was proving him wrong by lying.
My phone was completely discharged and I might have left it in Isha's car as she came to drop me Mahi tried to cover up not knowing that she was digging her own grave.
Prakash came forward and stood in front of his daughter - Mahi is there something you wants to tell me.
He asked again giving his daughter another chance to prove everything wrong.
Mahi wanted to hug her father and cry but then she decided against it and nodded in No.
A loud slap echoed in the living room as Prakash for the first time slapped his daughter. Mahi was shocked to say the least. Her brain was not able to process what just happened. She stood there holding her cheek with slight tears and disbelief in her eyes.
Bab__a .....a sob escaped her lips and she stood there still in shock .
Not a word from your mouth Mahi.
You have disappointed me today. You were roaming around with Abadhay Rathore behind my back and now have guts to lie on my face.
I gave you freedom to live your life on your own terms but you just misused it and proved me wrong.
Pushpa always warned me to be strict with you but I never listened to her bcz I trusted you . I trusted my values but I was so wrong. Prakash's voice echoed in the silent house.
Mahi looked at Pusha who was smirking at her standing in a corner .
Now answer me in yes or No-
Were you with Abadhay Rathore all this time -Prakash asked her in a cold voice with emotionless face.
Baba please __Mahi tried to explain but was cut off by Prakash in between.
Yes or No...... Answer me !! He yelled making Mahi flinch back.
Yesss__ she sobbed .
He was the one who dropped you here ??prakash questioned with his clenched jaw.
Yes...but mahi tried again but stopped when her father showed his palm asking her to shut up.
Mahi cried hard not knowing how to explain about everything to her father .
Go to your room and you won't be going out of the house without my permission. He ordered her stroming out of the living room .
Pushpa followed him to fuel his anger futher.
Mahi slumped down on her place and sobbed harder.
Today was the wrost day of her life. A man tried to molest her and now her father slapped her feeling disgusted by her.
Mumma I need you. I miss you....she cried remembering her mother.
Here Abadhay reached home and went to his room.
The day was tiring and he need a relaxing shower first.
He came out of the bathroom and layed on the bed thinking about all the incidents happened today.
But he was glad that the girl reached her home safely and nothing extreme happened. He drifted into the slumber not knowing that he will wake up to a Stormy day ahead that will change his life in every aspect.
