Chapter 11
Sharanya's pov
"Ohh yeah, just heat the food. I am coming after freshenup." I nodded and went to the kitchen, controlling my erratic heart beat.
I started heating the food, then I realised that I was hungry too, and I also didn't have the dinner. Okay, I'll have it after he leaves.
Okay, I have to behave like a sane girl in front of him.
Be confident.
Don't stumble or stammer.
He's not going to eat me.
Taking a deep breath, I walked out of the kitchen; he was sitting at the dining table, waiting.
I served him the food, poured water into a glass and stood a little away from him.
"Had your dinner?" He asked, looking at me.
"Do you care?" I shouted in my mind.
"Umm..yeah, I mean no, I'll have it later," I answered, looking here and there.
"Sit here and have your dinner," he said, or you could say he ordered and started having his dinner.
I didn't obey and stood silently.
"I just said something to Sharanya," he said without looking at me.
"Can you please just stop bossing around me?" This time I was frustrated.
"I just told you to have your dinner." He answered calmly,
"I don't think that I said anything wrong." I rolled my eyes at him.
"Sit and have your dinner, sharanya," he said again.
"I don't..." He cut me off, "I SAID SIT." I flinched at his loud and hard tone and sat silently.
"You just know how to shout like an arrogant man," I grumbled as I served myself dinner.
"What did you just say, come again?" He asked, looking at me with a raised eyebrow.
"Nothing, Sir," I said, stretching the word "sir," and began eating my dinner quietly.
When he was done, he got up and picked up the used plates.
"I'll do it," I said.
"You aren't a maid here," he muttered, as he went inside the kitchen.
But your brother and wife treated me like a maid only.
I chuckled and got up, picking up my used plates and walked towards the kitchen, where boom, oh yeah. I bumped into him and the plate and glass fell down, scattering into pieces.
Holy shit.
Now he was going to shout at me as I broke the plate and glass. God help me please.
I knelt and began gathering the shattered pieces.
"Hey, you don't need to do all this," I heard him say softly.
"No.. it's OK. Ay.. it's my mista..ke ouchh mamma " Ohh yeah, the broken glass piece stuck in my finger. Ouch. That hurts.
"Shit what you did." He knelt in front of me and held my right hand.
Tears started forming in my eyes that hurt so much.
"Ouchh ouchhhh." I winced loudly as he pulled out the glass piece.
"Come here," he said, and stood up to me.
He took me to the wash basin and turned on the tap, washing my injured finger.
"You need first aid, come with me," he said.
"It's OK, I'll do it," I said, trying to pull my hand back.
"I know you won't, so come with me." He said, much to my annoyance.
I jerked his hand and winced for the next second because of the injury.
I cut him off, "Sir, you don't need to take my tension, I can handle myself and this is just a small injury," I said, and went to the kitchen. I took the broom stick and started cleaning those glass pieces.
"You don't need to do this," he said, and I looked up at him.
"Why huh, why?" I asked a bit loudly, "This is my j. Youyou just said few minutes back that I. Then ot maid th"n who am I huh? What's my identity in this big mansion? Ohh yeah, a GOLD DIGGER, "I said confidently without stuttering."
"And you shouldn't be wasting your time on a cheap gold digger like me." I turned to leave, but only to get pulled back in.
"Don't you think you are using your mouth too much?" Leaving my hands, he grabbed me by my waist.
"From which right you are touching me, Neil, sir?" I asked, looking into his brown eyes.
"Is it right to touch a middle-class girl, sir? Who is just a mere maid of your house and you also have a wife too?" His expression was shocked; he wasn't expecting this.
I laughed out loud.
"Wife?Joke of the century!" I exclaimed, laughing.
"I don't think I am your wife. You snatched the vermillion and nupital chain from me, so now don't claim your rights." This time I shouted and pushed him with all my might, making him stumble.
I turned and left, wiping my tears harshly.

3 days later,
At college
I was hungry, but I didn't want to waste my money by eating some expensive food from the canteen. I need to get a job soon so that I can earn something for myself.
I sat down on the bench in the corridor and drank water and started reading the notes from the previous class to pass the time.
"Hey" I heard the voice and looked up; it was Yashvi Dii.
"Hii," I said, and she sat down beside me.
"It's break time and you are still studying!! "Aren't you hungry? " She asked.
"No, I'm not," I replied, looking at my notebook.
"You don't know how to lie," she said as she chuckled.
I replied, "I am not lying." She looked at me.
"What happened? Okay listen, you called me elder sister that day and elder sisters are meant to protect their younger sisters, so you can share anything with me. I won't judge you. " She said softly, making me smile.
"By the way, I am not bad," she added.
"But most of the students are scared of you," I said, and she giggled.
"Yeah, because dad is the trustee of this school, but I am not bad. I don't rag my juniors," she said.
"You are my saviour. You saved me that day," I muttered, smiling a little.
"Aww, you are so cute," she complimented and pulled my cheeks.
"Ouch, don't do that," I said, frowning a little, and she giggled.
"All right, now leave all of this and tell me you're hungry, right?"She asked, and I looked down.
"Yeah, I am hungry, but I don't want to waste my money by eating something expensive from the college canteen. I will have something when I reach home," I said.
"Come with me," she said, as she got up and held my hand.
"Where?" I queried.
"I won't go kidnap you, Little Baby," she said, chuckling.
She took me to the canteen, "Now tell me what you want to have."
"I don't want to have anything. It's fine," I said, shaking my head.
"I asked something very simple, so you should answer me in a simple way without making it complicated," she said, and I looked up at her.
"You don't need to do this for me. It's OK. I am not hungry anymore." I said, denying.
"Two veggie burgers," she ordered.
"I don't need your favour I don't want all this, "I said and turned to leave, but she blocked my way.
"Hey little baby, you are just like my little sister and I am not doing any favour, I am just trying to feed my little sister because she is hungry." She said sternly, acting entirely like an older sister.
