Mayra's PoV:
I arrived at the bungalow at 8:00 p.m. With unsteady steps, I entered the bungalow only to find it locked from the inside. This puzzled me as there was no one at home.
I approached the bodyguard and asked about the situation.
To my surprise, he informed me that Parth, my ucle and aunt's son, was inside. This was unexpected as Parth rarely visited and had little contact with the family. Why hadn't he attended the funeral?
I rang the doorbell and it was opened by a tall, robust man - Parth. It was my first time meeting him.
"Mayra, did i guess right?" He asked. I noticed a slight smirk on his face. "Yes, and you-", before i could say i was inturruped by him.
"Parth, i guess you know me." He said with a smile. Why the fuck is he smiling? He has lost his parents and it seems like he does not have any grief. I don't know, but I'm finding him a bit more strange, as i heard him before. I nodded to him.
"Why didn't you come to the-" I was going to ask, but he said in midway "Come inside, first.", while giving me a large amount of space. I entered inside and sat on the couch, at the hall.
"I know what you want to ask. I could not come to the funeral, because my flight reached at 6 p.m. and it got too late, there was no flight before this time.." He said, lowering his head. I could see a little amount of his emotions flickering out.
"But, you didn't go to the hospital to check on your sister. Why?" I asked him, confusingly.
"Mayra, i think i need some rest, I'm not in a condition to answer your questions. I hope you understand." He said, in a low and sad voice.
Oh no! I am unnecessarily doubting him and asking him questions. I know he must be too much depressed. He needs rest.
"I'm sorry Parth, i didn't mean that...sorry!"
"It's okay Mayra, you can go to your room." He said this and left from there. Why was i asking all this to him? I'm an idiot! Quickly, i also left from there and went directly to my room.
***
It was almost 11 p.m., and the room was cloaked in darkness, with only the faint glow of the moon seeping through the curtains. I lay in bed, my mind restless and unable to find peace.
I had talked with uncle Ved and aunt Zia on call a few minutes ago, and they assured me that everything will be alright.
But my mind cannot take everything at once. The encounter with Rian had left me feeling disappointed and hurt. His harsh words replayed in my mind, causing a surge of emotions to well up within me.
How could he say such disgusting words to me?
I couldn't take in why he still held such animosity towards me, and his cryptic mention of "punishment" only added to my confusion and distress.
My mind is totally fucked up. I want to go there! I miss my Aunt ved and auntie Zia so much. But i cannot. I was a child when my parents sent me there.
As I lay there, lost in thought, the stillness of the night was abruptly shattered by the sound of footsteps echoing through the silent house.
My heart raced as I realized that besides Parth, there was no one else in the house. Parth's presence offered some solace, sparing me from the lonliness that would have otherwise engulfed me.
Suddenly, the creak of the door pierced the quiet, and a looming shadow appeared in the doorway, sending a chill down my spine.
He could have knocked atleast!
I sprang up from my bed and confronted him. "Parth, is everything okay?" I demanded, my nerves on edge as he continued to take deliberate steps towards me, without a word.
"Parth??" I yelled.
It's strange! It's definitely strange! I hurried up and switched on the light and turned to look at him. He was now standing, not a far distance away from me.
"Do-Do you want something?" I asked obnoxiously. I saw a sinister like smirk on his face, as i asked this.
"Definitely!" He replied and took a step forward. I was not scared till now, but now I'm scared. I can feel something is not right with him. Why is he acting like this?
"It's perfect time to give me what i want." He said taking one more step towards me. Fear ran though my veins. What have gotten into him suddenly?
I was feeling incredibly nervous and couldn't make sense of anything. "What do you mean?" I asked him, my anxiety evident. His smirk transformed into a wide grin, but I could sense that his intentions were not right.
"Come on, like you don't know Mayra? How can you be so innocent?" he asked as he closed the distance between us. He was standing so close to me that I could feel his breath.
This is disgusting! I took a step back, but to my surprise, he moved even closer. I felt my blood boil as I clenched my fist. How dare he invade my personal space like this?
"If you're living in this house, you have to pay Mayra," he said, placing his hand on the wall next to me. It was at that moment I realized I couldn't retreat any further.
"Why do I have to pay? This is my parents' house! And why should I have to pay you for living in my parents' house?" I exclaimed firmly, meeting his gaze with determination.
Quick enough, I snatched his wrist as he reached for my face. His expression turned hard, as he freed his hand from the wall, gripping my wrists and pressing them against the wall.
"So sweetheart don't know." He said with a teasing smirk on his face. "Didn't my parents tell you, that this house is no more your fathers' belonging?" He asked, leaving me in complete shock.
"After your parent's died, the property was rightfully in my father's name. Now that he's gone, it belongs to me. It's my possession now," he said emphasizing the last sentence and chuckled at my shocked and angry reaction. I fought to break free from his grip, but his strength and tall figure were no match for my short figure.
"But let me tell you sweetheart, you can live here. I don't have any problem with that." He said while grinning. I gritted my teeth in rage.
"You just have to pay a little, and you can live here without any issue." He said furthur. "And what's that?" I shouted in anger, while fighting to break free from his hold.
"Be my slut."
As soon as i heard those words, I felt like punching him hard on his face but my hands were both on his hold.
"Please me Mayra, and you can live here. Don't let this deal go from your hands. Although, you will be getting pleasure too sweetheart." Struggling, i freed my hands from his hold and gave him a hard slap on his face, with all my might.
"Shame on you! Don't you have any shame left? Your parents died today, your sister is in hospital! And you...disgusting!!" I yelled at him. furiously.
He turned his face to me with bloodshot eyes. I could see anger fuming inside him. It was terrifying me, now. God, i have to run away from here.
As i was freed from his hold, i quickly made a chance to run from there but before i could, he held my hands tightly and pushed me on the bed harshly. Before i could get up, he hovered over me.
I screamed for help.
"There is no benefit of it, this house is too big, nobody is gonna save or even hear you." He said, and laughed. I tried to push him, hit him, but it didn't work on him. He grabbed my shoulders and before i could know, he slid the sleeve of my dress. My heart went numb. I was scared to the hell.
There is nobody to help me.
Tears were flowing from my eyes, aggressively. I tried with my every might possible to get rid of him, but nothing worked.
"Pleeaaasee, leave me. I beg you." I pleaded while crying, but he didn't stop. His face was almost touching mine, and his eyes went to my lips.
No please!
Before he could kiss me, i palmed my lips with my hand, making him kiss my hand. He agressively held my wrist and removed it. My hand reached out to grab something and to my luck, i grabbed a vase from the nightstand and harshly striked it on his head, as hard as possible. Before he could attack my lips, he screamed in pain, as blood begin ozing out from his head. He put his hands on his head and taking benefit of this chance, i ran away.
He came chasing me from behind, so i quickly shut the door and locked it. I finally felt a relieve. He began shouting from inside and banging on the door, warning me.
"There is no benefit of it. This house is too big, nobody is gonna save or even hear you." I repeat his words loud, and a chuckle left my mouth.
"Now i understood why your parents had no connections with you." I yelled before making my way out from there. "They were no saints, Mayra. You are a fool. A stupid girl!" I could hear him shout from the door, but i cared less.
Let him rot in that locked room.
I made my way outside the house. I'm no more going to stay here, as i cannot take any risk.
But the question is....where will i go now?
