"hy Riya.
What is today's plan? "
Adrian stopped her on her way back home. She turned back and looked at him.
"Nothing much. Just some household"
she looked at her with a questionable gaze. she wait for a moment and then walked away.
He wanted to take her out but could not say it because he was scared to get rejected by her.
Riya was the daughter of a shopkeeper. Her mother died when she was born and her father always blame her for the death of her mother. After some months her father married another woman. Since then her life become much harder. Her mother blames her for everything and her father beat her whenever he was angry.
She just entered the house and there was a lot of work for her to do. After taking shower she comes downstairs to do the dishes. while she was doing it her stepbrother who was 7 years old came and pushed her. She slipped from the floor and accidentally her brother with the glass she was washing.
Her brother was injured. He got cut on his hand and the blood was dropping and he was crying. She didn't know what to do. She looked around to find some clothing to cover his wound but he didn't let her touch him. Before she could do anything her mother appeared.
"oh my goodness. My baby! how did this happen? look at the blood. oh my gosh, What should I do....oh my god...oh my god...."
Riya knew she messed up.
Her mother suddenly looked at her with anger in her eyes she approached her and grabbed her by the neck.
"you ...you did this? ....ahhhh... I will kill you ...I can't bare you anymore."
before she could say something more her brother cried with pain and Riya was freed from her mother's grip she fell to the ground. Her mother carried her son out with her. As soon as she left the kitchen Riya ran upstairs she look the door and hid under the bed. Her whole body was shaking.
After some time has passed she heard the noise outside the room.
"she did this to our son today. I already told to that she doesn't like him. she is going to kill him someday. why don't you understand that? If it wasn't for me today. my son would have been killed by someone who killed her mother before she was born...."
"so what do you want?"
Her father asked her stepmother.
Her mother was screaming outside. It was getting louder and louder. It means they were coming upstairs.
"Dad.....Dad is here"
she ran away from the door and hide in the cupboard. Her dad was knocking at the door but she didn't open it.
"if you didn't open the door in 2 sec I am going to break it....you dumb idiot ..come out"
Her dad was screaming and knocking at the door and after some time, he broke it. He looked all over but could not find her not under the bed nor inside the cupboard. Where did you go?
Her dad first thought she will come back after sometimes but he was wrong. She never returned. Not even after the year. Her dad tried to find her but in vain. She just disappeared.
Her father looked for her everywhere but could not find her. It's been two years since she went missing and Adrian was the only person who visited her room daily and cleaned it to get any evidence but couldn't find anything.
