The sound of utensils hitting the floor wasn't new to kavya.

She didn't reacted to it anymore.she quickly sat on the edge of her bed and quickly tied her hair . Then she stepped out ." You 're late again !" Her father Aditya Khurana shouted.

Kavya quietly said ,"I am sorry I was little tried from yesterday". Her father," Don't gave me excuse,make my breakfast i have work to do ".

The day before kavya was finishing her older brother 's assignment late night and just slept few hours . Today was a big day for kavya because she was finished with her school and today was the day her result was gonna come of 12th class.

Kavya quietly stepped into the kitchen and started making breakfast for her father and her brother Arjun. Their mother has passed away two year ago from a terminal disease and their once a cheerful father has become abusive. Her father who never touched alcohol in front of her , now ordered her to bring more.

Kavya quickly finished making the breakfast and set the table . Her father first to sit on the table starts to eat the breakfast with a displeasing face.

Then kavya stepped towards her brother 's room who was two year older than her, to wake him up.

Kavya knocked on his door when she didn't hear anything she opened the door and entered the room , the scene inside the room shocked her , her brother was laying their on the bed intoxicated.

She ran to him waking him up " Arjun , Arjun wake up tell me this is not true you can't be doing these things". Tears trickled down her face watching her brother laying down their intoxicated.

She slowly laid him properly on his bed , brought his food and placed it on the table near him . She tried waking him up by sprinkling some water on his face ," Arjun , Arjun , please wake up , eat something ".

Arjun slowly sitting up still high in his drugs yanking his sister hand away , " Slut , i don't want your hands touching me " . Kavya listening t her brother words, tears formed in her eyes. She slowly said " Arjun please for the sake of mother, don't do these things , mother will be sad , here eat something ( forwarding the plate ) . Arjun throwing the plate away, the plate shattered as it touched the floor , " Don't ever come near me with that tainted body everyone used to laugh at me because of you ", Arjun said yanking his sister hair and pushing her away , Arjun slowly walked inside the bathroom,

Kavya slowly started picking up the broken plate , kavya hand prickled as her hand touched the pointy corner of the plate , blood trickled down her hand , tears formed in her eyes she quietly," I never done anything to taint this house but no one believes me ". Last year in school there was a video of her where she was surrounded by boys and they were touching her inappropriately and their was the voices of girls on the other side of the camera saying ," she is the one seducing them..., what a slut " and many other things were said, the video ended .

No one listened to her not even her own family , she was always a easy target in school because she was always quiet and alone. So the bullies bullied her the most , the video went viral and her father and brother had to listen many shamefull things because of her , she was always the center of attraction because she was simple and beautiful so many girls in her school got jealous of her , she had to endure bullying in he school but no one listened to her not even once . After sometime they changed the city because no one in the house was able to go out because of the criticization .

After some time her father and brother both distanced themselves from her, for her father she became a maid and for her brother she became something to take out frustration on .

Kavya cleaned her brother room and got ready to go out because at home kavya always feels uncomfortable.

Kavya slowly stepped out of the house and walked down the quiet street . As she walked down the street,she reached a main road she started walking down the footpath as she reached a small bookstore,the one with the wooden door, faded signboard, and a man who barely spoke.
