Chapter 4

Rahul then moved to Priya’s house which was in front of her house. He moved towards Shreya and hugged her leg making her smile.

“What happened?” she asked seeing the sad look on Rahul's face

“I don’t want to be in that house, no one loves me there” Rahul spoke making Shreya shocked because he never spoke like that. She made Rahul sit on the couch and sat beside him

“What happened?” she asked him again, Rahul told her about the incident that happened today

“Dad didn’t even ask me what happened why did I beat her and it is not even a slap because I hit her very lightly but he always listens to her and he doesn’t care about me” Rahul spoke with a crying look which made Shreya heart melt. She hugged Rahul tightly to her chest and kissed him on his forehead.

Priya came to her house after half an hour and when she saw that Rahul was in her mother’s arms, she fumed. She reached them and removed Rahul from Shreya hold

“This is my mom; you can’t hug her like that” she spoke, and Shreya looked at Priya with an angry look

“See even this is not my house, no one loves me” he spoke with a sad face

“That’s correct because you are an orphan” Priya spoke and in the next second she got a slap from Shreya which shocked both Rahul and Priya.

“How dare you say such words, is this the manners I am teaching you… you may hate a person but never every should call them orphan” she spoke and without a word, she moved towards her room. Priya who got a slap for the first time was shocked and she started to cry. Rahul sat on the couch with a shocked face and when he got his senses, he moved closer to Priya.

“Priya, why did you say like that?” he asked to her to which she looked at him with a shocked face

“I don’t know Rahul; it came in flow and I didn’t mean it” she spoke and Rahul just hugged Priya to calm her down. When she stopped crying, he broke the hug

“Don’t cry again because there is no water scarcity her and mostly you look like a zombie when you cry” he spoke with a mischievous smile making her angry. She ran behind him to beat him while he escaped from her.
