It was a very difficult job to convince Dhananjay to give up the room that he had locked up for years. The room of the Mistress of the house. Living in that room meant Aisha had an authority equal to her father. It was where Nisha lived before becoming a blood slave.
Aisha was very excited to move into that room, not because of the power it had to offer. But the amount of drama it would create in the house. 'That would be fun for sure.' Aisha thought when she opened the door. The drama that she had expected to start tomorrow, preponed it's timing when Karuna arrived there.
"What the hell do you think you are doing here?" She shouted when she saw her entering the room. Aisha ignored her as if she were never present there and entered the room. The huge and elegant doors that had been closed for years opened with a cracking sound. While the door looked old because of the ancient carving it had on it. The inside however was pretty modern.
"Hey!" Kurana followed her into the room. Aisha threw herself into the bed, with a huge, bright smile on her face. "I asked you a question." Kurana stood in front of Aisha, yelling like a madman.
"And I am not obliged to answer that," Aisha replied followed by a yawn. She then slowly closed her eyes.
"Yes, you are. I am still the head maid of this house." Aisha didn't reply to her.
Kurana left the room and came back after a few minutes. Aisha knew she wouldn't leave her so easily and she also knew what Kurana was scheming. Kurana had come back with a bucket full of water and was about to throw it on Aisha, before which Aisha warned her, "Before, you throw that on me, just go a day back and remember what happened to you yesterday morning. There's a mirror in the left corner, take a look at that scar on your forehead."
Kurana placed the bucket on the ground, "How dare you? How dare you step into this room? How dare you turn master against me? How dare you?" She yelled like a stubborn child.
In the next second before Kurana realized, she was soaked wet in the water she had bought. Aisha threw it on her and then laughed. She continued to laugh for the next few minutes. "Goodness!" She sat back on the bed and then whipped her joyful tears off her face.
"Do you fancy yourself as the next Mistress of the house? " Aisha laughed. She couldn't control her laughter at how absurd it sounded. Kurana was considering herself to be the next mistress of the house.
"Kurana, please put that poor mirror in the corner to use and look at yourself in it. Wait, you know what take it with you. You'll need it every day. Yours might have turned rusty by now." Aisha laughed.
Embarrassed, Kurana started back to her room but before she could leave Aisha stopped her. "Come over here, Kurana." She said in a deep, grunty voice." I ordered you to take the mirror with you. Did you not hear me?"
Kurana felt chills behind her back and was scared by how scary Aisha sounded and looked. As if her whole face had turned black and only her eyes were visible, which had somehow turned red.
She froze there until Aisha called her out again softly. The head maid slowly moved her shivering leg back in and walked to the mirror. The mirror was old and did not belong in the room. It had been lying there after Nisha was removed from the room.
How did it come there?
Of course, it belonged to a certain someone, who is delusional. Kurana. She had kept it there as her way of claiming the room.
No one bothered themselves with the mirror but that thing staying in the room made Kurana think it was her room and she would get it one day. Kurana picked up the mirror and quietly left the room after stealing the sight of Maya entering the room with some luggage.
She wanted to look back and yell at Aisha and kick her out of there but couldn't. She knew that it was never going to happen. With vengeance in her mind, she left the room.
"That mirror?" Maya asked.
"It belongs to her. The psychopath thinks the room belongs to her just because one of her shitty mirrors had been lying over there for a year or so. " Aisha laughed again and then she threw herself back on the soft bed. "Maya, ask someone to mob the floor. Don't do it yourself. Let everyone know that I am the eldest daughter of this house. These servants need some teachings." Aisha smirked.
A maid entered the room with the mob and a bucket of water in her hand. She looked at Aisha, who was sitting on the bed, observing her. Her head was resting on her palm and her body was tilted towards the door.
The maid had no fear, she raised her head high, sighed, and then dipped the mob inside the bucket. However, before she could remove the mob out of the bucket to clean the wet floor, Aisha caught the hand that held the mob. The maid looked at Aisha, straight into her eyes. Although Aisha was angry at her disrespectful behavior, she smiled.
"The water doesn't look that right." It was a lie. The water that the maid had bought was crystal clear. Aisha kicked the bucket, spilling the water all over the area. "Go get clear water to clean the floor. "
In anger, the maid left with the empty bucket and came back after a few minutes. She cleaned the water at the entrance that Aisha had kicked out of the bucket, then headed towards the water in front of the bed.
Aisha was still sitting on the bed while the maid was cleaning the floor. This time she crossed her legs and placed her chin on her palm. The maid felt Aisha's stare, she looked at Aisha. Her eyes were, blanking the maid, who could not take off her eyes off Aisha's deep and steep brown eyes.
"Such impudence. How dare you look into your master's eyes shamelessly?" Aisha sat straight letting go of her posture.
" Master? " The maid was done mobbing the floor by then. She placed the mob into the bucket." Do you think I don't know you did all that on purpose? " Though fear had clouted deep inside her heart, she was agitated by rage, making her yell. " You are a slave of this house. Your position is worse than ours. Stop being presumptuous."
Aisha returned to her posture and smiled at the maid. "Maids these days are so disrespectful. Do you know which room this is? "
" So what? your position is still the same. "
" The head maid came to the room before you and screamed at me. As a result, she got a nice cold bath in return. If I were to complain about this incident to my father. He will dismiss you all. Do you want to bet? " She said it in a rather ethereal voice.
