It's a cold winter morning. A girl is shivering in her room. She is not shivering due to the cold atmosphere outside but because she is crying. She is whimpering in between her sobs. She was sitting facing the wall holding a photo frame close to her heart. Her eyes are swollen and her cheeks and nose turn red due to the continuous crying.

Today is the day I lost everything. I lost my mumma and papa, my happiness, my smile, my childhood, my dreams, my freedom, everything. The only reason I am living is to fulfill the promise I made to my dad when I was a mere 5 years old. I didn't even know what are the responsibilities of a princess back then. It's Manish Kaka who reminded me of my promise when I tried to kill myself at the age of 16, one year after losing my world, my parents. Now my only goal is to get back my property and make sure everyone dependent on our family lives a content life. But today I can't control my sobs. Today is the day I lost them. They said they would return by evening but that evening never came. They broke their promise. Why? Didn't they know their daughter was waiting for them? Don't they know they were the only relations I had in the world? But they left, forever. Leaving me alone to face everything. 

My mother was so beautiful and my father was handsome too! They both loved each other so much and loved me more than their life. My mother always used to get me the same clothes she wears but now who is going to wear the same clothes as me? Clothes! I don't even remember the last time when I selected something of my choice. I will be ordered to wear something and I follow it. Not because I am submissive but because I lost interest in them.

My papa used to twirl me making me giggle and when he sits on his throne he always made me sit on his lap. Now Eshwar Kaka is sitting on my father's throne and I'm not too fond of it. My dad used to kiss me all the best before my exams. I used to love the nights before my exams when my parents used to stay with me to make me revise my chapters. But after that, I started hating my exams.

They used to be my life but in one night they became the memories in my heart and pictures in the frames. I miss their warmth, their love, their scolding, their teaching, their talks, and them. Will I ever find someone who loves and cares for me as my mumma and papa did? Will I be free from this cage even when I turn 22?

No Meera! You need to stay positive. Remember what papa said, " Mehanat ka phal, Mushkilon ka hal aur aane waala kal sab shiv ji ke hath me hai aur shiv ji hamesha tere saath hai"(The result of your hard work, solution for your problems and the future, everything is in hands of Lord Shiva and he is with you).

I kissed the photo I was holding and got ready to complete my chores.

After I got ready I saw the family picture of us on my side table and smiled at it.

I am sitting in my office fuming in anger. Today I saw her again. My ex-wife. She is going somewhere and we saw each other in the airport. One look at her made all my wounds fresh. I am having flashbacks of how she cheated and used me and how my mother hid this from me. I hate this woman! I hate her to the core. How dare she cheat on me?

My employees being incompetent is not helping my anger in any way. I called for a meeting in 10 min.  I was about to go to the meeting room when my brother marched in.

"Bhai sa! Eshwar Rajput is planning an attack on you!"

This piece of shit never changes. He is getting on my nerves now. I have to deal with him. 

I couldn't control my anger remembering all the events that happened today. I punched the glass table in front of me. Blood started flowing from my hand. But it's not controlling my anger. I started breaking everything around me. I can hear Aneesh begging me to stop but I can't. I fucking can't stop.

He finally pulled me back and applied a bandage to my hand. We went home after our meeting. 

When we reached home Mrs. Rajawat was waiting for us. Yes, I call her Mrs. Rajawat. She doesn't deserve to be called mother after what she has done to me. She came running towards us seeing me.

"Beta(son)! What happened to you? Why are you having bandages?" She asked with tears in her eyes. There was a time when her tears and emotions used to affect me but not anymore.

"None of your business. I don't need your fake concern. Now, move out of my way." saying that I went to my chamber. I heated the water and settled myself in my comfortable bathtub. I stayed there long enough to cool my anger. I have destruction to plan. Eshwar Rajput's destruction.

I will deal with my ex-wife later. I want to snatch everything from her when she gets addicted to them just the way she did. I will make sure she will feel death easier than her life.

I texted my trusted man to keep an eye on Eshwar's activities. I want to take away the most precious thing of him. I want him to suffocate every minute and beg for death in front of me.

I went back to my study to attend a conference call with foreign clients. I can't neglect my work for unworthy people like them. I will take care of his little antics in my free time. 

I was indulging in my work when I heard a knock on my door.

"come in!" I replied.

My father walked in with some prashad in his hand.

"Beta! Have it. It's Maa Durga's Prashad. She will provide you peace."

"I came far away from peace Dad. Now we are enemies."

"No beta. I trust Maa. She will send someone who will make you feel at peace. She will fill your life with light again." 

I gave a sarcastic smile at my father's comments but had Prashad anyhow. I believe and trust in god.

"Sleep early beta!" Saying this my father left there. I worked for some more time and left for my room after finishing my work.

I saw a few people entering our palace secretly. So this idiot Eashwar played his first move. All the moves from here will be mine. I will make sure he will get all the punishments he deserves.

I will show him the hell!
