MAYA(POV)

"I woke up at midnight again. Right now I'm sweating badly. I immediately got out of bed and ran towards the window of the room and opened it. I take deep breaths to calm myself. Was it truly just a dream? No, it was not a dream. How can I frequently have the same dreams!"

"From past few days after dinner, I first felt mild dizziness and then I reluctantly fall asleep, more likely I fainted. But still being in an unconscious state, I felt that I was touched by someone. I can still felt someone's cold hands on my body, it felt like many needles are piercing in my body."

"Just thinking about is enough to give me goosebumps all over my body"

"To clear my doubts I slowly start moving towards the cupboard and opened it. I take out the hidden camera whom I hide in the cupboard after the dinner."

"I sit at the corner of the bed and start watching the video. After watching the whole video, I hold the camera tightly and clenched my fist. I honestly, want to break the camera by throwing it on the room floor but I can't destroy the only proof."

Maya: "Yes, I knew it!. They are not my dream. You want to prove that I have some psychological problem. Huh, Let's see what happens when I'll show this video as a piece of evidence"

"Still that shameless Bastard..!!

 How dare he..!! He didn't even felt the slightest guilt by harassing me?"

"I won't let him go, no matter what happens. I will do everything so that he gets his punishment..!! Now, let me show him who the hell I'm..!"

A few Days Later

At Dining Table

"During the lunch, I told everyone that 3 days ago I filled the form for high school dorm and they send a replied to my letter today."

Letter: "There are few empty rooms recently, we don't have any problem giving you a room and you can shift in 2 days."

Maya: "So, I'll be living next 2 years in a high school dorm."

After a while silence

Tina (her mother asked in confusion): "why do you suddenly want to move into the dorm?"

I looked towards my mother and replied to her: "I'm a 1st-year High school student now, so definitely competition of studies will be tougher. I don't want to stay behind in my studies and Leo (her brother) will affect my studies with his noise. And I entirely, want to focus on my studies."

After listening to my explanation she didn't ask me any more questions.

"My father is sitting there like he didn't listen to me, or like it's not his concern. For him, I'm invisible or maybe didn't exist. Because for him I'm just a burden now. And he barely accepts my existence in his house."

After having our lunches, slowly we left the dining table."

Past

"I was 10 years old when they adopted me. When I was 12 years old my adopted mother gave birth to a baby boy(Leo). The love they give me starts fading away by time and there are no mutual feelings between us now."

"Now I'm 16 years old and soon I'll start my high school student life. And now my brother is 4 years old. He is always around me like sis you are too beautiful, sis play with me.. sis this.. is that... I love him too❤️"

BEDROOM

"My face is towards the window and the room door is behind me. Besides me, there is a single set of sofa and there is something behind it(can u guess what it is?). It's almost time."

"I'm waiting for someone. Until now I tried very hard to be awake, tried not to sleep, only for this moment. I know that I can't hold for too long but I can't faint right now."

"I start begging from my body please don't break down too soon.. just hold on a little more. And I didn't have to wait for too long. Suddenly someone opened the door slightly and then came in."
