'Arun? How is he here? We— I see now. So this is a dream. That's why it's so weird but then why is the feeling of pain so real? Why does it hurt so much? I need to wake up quickly.'
Arun pulled her back up and faced her. He locked his eyes into Aisha's and emitted the smile he had just hours ago while killing her. He raised his knife and stabbed her again with the bloody knife that had stabbed her behind.
This time in the front while Dhananjay was having a hard time controlling his laughter. Arun pulled out the knife then a hand, familiar to the one that had pulled her, restricting her from going down the stairs, turned her around towards him by yanking her through her shoulder. 'Neel.'
Neel slapped Aisha on her cheek making her land on the window nearby. He caught her by her nape and then banged her head on the window nearly breaking it.
'Why is this dream not ending? And why does it feel so fucking real? '
Neel banged Aisha back on the window, finally pulling a huge crack in the window and making her head bleed. He continued until the widow finally broke. Neel turned Aisha to get a glance at his little sister's condition and to see if he was satisfied with this much or if he needed more.
Aisha saw him, his father, and Arun, and behind them stood the butler and the head maid. Her whole body had given in. 'Why is fucking everyone here?'
Neel smiled and then dragged her close to him into a hug " Bye" he whispered and then threw her on the window. This time the window glass broke completely due to Aisha's weight and she fell from the two-story building.
Before she could land down and hit the ground, leading her blood gushing out of her, all five of them popped their head out of the window to take sight of her death. As soon as Aisha touched the ground, she woke up after feeling a huge current running through her body, making her shiver in fear and sweat all over.
"Miss?"
It was still afternoon and the sun was brightly shining in the sky instead of the moon. Aisha looked around still half awake. Maya was sitting on a stool with cotton in her hand. Aisha's bed sheet was covered in blood and it all came out of the cut she had pulled in the morning.
"Maya?" Aisha looked at her. One hand was covered in her cursed blood and the other had a huge cotton covered in blood.
Aisha pulled the cotton out of her hand and immediately dragged her to the bathroom. "What's wrong with you Maya? Do you have a death wish?" She said while dipping both of Maya's hands into the bathtub that may have been filled up for her to have a bath in.
"One drop of my blood and you would have been lying dead the next morning." Tears flooded out of Aisha's eyes making their way along her cheeks and into the bathtub.
Maya pulled her hand out of the bathtub and held her lady's face between her two warm palms, "That would never happen. Please don't cry for a lowly thing like myself." She whipped Aisha's tears carefully as if her face was a valuable gem.
However, Aisha angrily pulled her hand and sprayed shower jell on it then vigorously scrubbed it using a scrubber. " You are not lowly." She cried and continued scrubbing.
After a few minutes of scrubbing, Maya hissed in pain that had been caused by scrabbing her hands too hard. Aisha came back to her senses and threw the scrub away. "Wash it well!" Saying this, she rushed out of the bathroom and sat on the bed.
Aisha slapped her head. "I hurt her again. Why do I keep doing it?"
In the first life, Aisha was rude to everyone. She thought everyone disrespected her as she had already started to consider herself a slave because of Neel's repetitive nature.
However, she believed she was still the daughter of the house and found it annoying when everyone was disrespectful to her, talking behind her back. Aisha started to get angry at anyone, anytime and the biggest prey to her enrage was Maya, her maid.
However, Maya understood Aisha and her misery. She genuinely cared for her lady but Aisha could never understand Maya. Instead, she abused her every day, somehow finding peace in it and Maya never rebelled. Maya was happy that she was of some use to Aisha. Then something happened that changed Aisha's heart towards Maya completely.
Unfortunately, she was too late to realize it. Hence, she didn't even get a chance to apologize to Maya.
