Seher's Hate
I woke up with the sun rays shining directly into my eyes when my father, Vijay Bajaj walked into my room and slid those curtains aside
Seher
*covers her face with her hand** Mm...
Mr. Bajaj
Seher beta, wake up. You're getting late for your college.
I heard his voice and got seated up on my bed without arguing because I had a completely different thing to argue with him about
Seher
Where were you last night?
Mr. Bajaj
I was in my office.
Mr. Bajaj
Had lots of work to do
Seher
And I'm sure your little assistant was also there?
He called my name as if not wanting to answer.
Seher
Mom killed herself because of you. Because of that slut. You know that right?
He opened his mouth but couldn't find words. He knew I was not wrong.
Mr. Bajaj
*lets out a deep breath** I have prepared your breakfast. Have it before you leave for your college.
Seher
I am not eating anything that you cooked.
I said pushing off the blankets and getting up.
Even though my dad worked for a mafia and was the CEO of Bajaj Corporations, a very powerful man whom the entire world feared, I was the only person who could talk to him like this.
He had never even raised his voice at me and after mom passed away, his care for me even increased.
He cooked for me, even though I'd barely eat anything he cooked, he'd do the house jobs, even though I was free, and just lazing around. He knew I was punishing him and he had no problem with it, if he got to exchange a few sentences with me in exchange for all of what he did
I walked up to my dresser to grab my clothes and was heading towards my bathroom when dad held my hand to make me stop
Mr. Bajaj
What do you want me to do Seher? What's done is done. I can't turn back time and bring back your mother!
I looked up at him and by chance my eyes caught those nails and bite marks all over his neck. And I just knew what he did last night. AGAIN.
Seher
What I WANT you to do is to end that thing that you do in your stupid office!
I yelled at him looking at those marks on his neck and he realized I knew about last night. About what he did. Guilt was clearly evident on his face.
Seher
Why dad? Why again and again? Mom died because of you. Can't you just stop? Or do you want me to die as well
Mr. Bajaj
I'm sorry Seher... I just got carried away. It just happened.
I looked at him unbelievably. How could he justify doing something so disgusting? How?!
Seher
Enough dad. Please leave my room. I have to get ready for my college. I'm getting late.
I said now with a poker face.
Seher
Please, dad. Get out.
And he walked out of my room.
I know I was rude with him as he was my father but then, if he was my father, why can't he act like one and stop committing all these sins that he was?
