"Ashu!" shouted Vidhi. "Is that how to talk to your elders?" Ashma felt guilty. She felt like a hypocrite. Just a few minutes ago she scolded a 20-years-old about treating the elders and now she treated an elder rudely. She had no right to lecture people when she herself was not abiding by her words.
She lowered her head, ignored her mother's words and moved to her room. Now the pain in her legs increased. The stinging pain was too much for her. The area around the blood was slowly turning blue. Her whole leg started throbbing with pain. Her hands too started tingling because she broke the phone with her bare hands. The minor cuts were troubling her. She started limping. Seeing her walking funny, all noticed her leg. Her pants were torn, and her red blood was clotted.
"What happened? Why are you bleeding?" asked Eun-Kyung with worry. She stood from the couch and moved toward Ashma.
"Ashu! Stop!" yelled Vidhi.
