We both exchange each other's numbers.  He is quite a good friend and also popular in university. I can see girls drooling over him and shooting draggers over me but he doesn't give any expression and continues talking to me. Some girls come to join our conversation but he neglects their presence. I felt a little happy because I never made friends in the university and he was so good to me. 

He tells me about his family, his father is a businessman and his mother is a full time housewife, also has a brother whom he doesn't want to talk about. I also didn't ask him, he called that a sensitive topic because they both had a  fight. After that he both go towards our classes and at last the bell rings and the school closes.

At home 

"Ana Ana, prepare dinner fast, guests will be arriving shortly and also change your torn clothes. Its smells eww just change it fast" she shouted, while coming from her bedroom. She usually insults me in front of the guest. 

"Yes aunt" I prepared dishes and chocolate cake for dessert. She  specifically gave me the menu. I love cooking for people. I set up the dining table, change the flowers and throw the old one, and then hurriedly go to back to my room and change my dress 

Thank God Layla doesn't give me some  revealing dress or I have to make some adjustments. Usually when she gives me her dress she doesn't take it back so when she gives me some revealing dress I have to make adjustments with it so that it doesn't show my skin. I don't like to wear revealing clothes

At 7, the guests arrived, I didn't know much about them, they were indeed special guests the way my aunt behaved. They were a total of three people. 

My aunt was welcoming them and then they sit on the sofa discussing on a particular topic after some time aunt called them to have a supper with us. 

They went towards the dinning table and I make their plates, serving them.

"Who is she?" an old man in his late 50s asked pointed towards me. I kept my eyes on the floor while serving. I don't want my aunt to have an excuse to beat me so I don't talk to the guests. I usually serve them and eat after they leave. 

My aunt said "she is a servant and we all provide respect to our servants so come Ana sit with us" 

servant in my own house how ironic. I sit besides a young man in his early 20s. His eyes were continuously looking at me I felt a little awkward and embarrassed.

"So we have decided that Layla should get married to this young man. They are also my business partners and also Layla's future in-laws  . Do you have any problem, Layla sweety?" My aunt asked 

 Layla has a boyfriend

 but I keep my mouth shut. 

My aunt  was sitting on the head seat of the table eating her food. This is the place where my father sits.  It breaks my heart seeing this everyday.

"No mom he is quite handsome" she muttered trying to get close to him

First time she was shy while looking at a guy. I was silently eating my dinner when I suddenly feel someone hands on my thigh.

I dare to ignore it, but suddenly his hands were touching me more.. I clenched my hands and stand up from my seat.

“Don't dare to touch me” I warned him. The man gave a innocent look to others and silently winked at me.

"I didn't dare to touch girls like you, you try to seduce me with your hands. You bitch your keep your dirty hands on my thighs and was rolling your fingers. I try my best to push your hands but you pinch me. Disgusting...shame on you..servant..dad see this girl, she is a slutty bitch" he shouted, while looking towards the old man. I could clearly see anger in my aunt eyes. 

"I know son something is off with this girl. She was continuously looking at my son, servants are always servants" old man put his hands on his son's shoulder, giving a support.c

"Mom did you see, didn't I tell you to stay her away from us..but you didnt listen to me.now.she wants my future Husband. She wants him..She dare to seduce him, I will cut her fingers. You bitch, I will chop your fingers so you will never able to roll your hands on someone's thighs" Layla shouted at aunt pointing her fingers at me. 

I kept on shaking my head, trying my best to explain Rima that I was not the one..I was not..but she kept on cursing me. The guy was?similing behind her back, mocking me.  

I went towards my aunt but tried to explain the situation, but suddenly she slapped me.

"Leave my house" she roared, pointing her fingers, towards the door 

"Aunt.he.tried..to..touch.me" I whimpered in pain, covering my face, I fell on the knees.

“He is not like you...He belongs to a great family unlike you..First your mother seduced my brother now you..get out of my house Anastasia before I lose my temper and I do something to you..Which I shouldn't do..leave my fucking house“ She roared in anger,

“Madam you don't lose your calm on the servants..“ The man coaxed my aunt, smirking at me. 

“Get out of my house Anastasia” She shouted, I cried hard.

“No..I won't this is my house..my family house..I won't leave it” I interjected. This house belongs to me..

“What did you just say..what did you.. this is your house..this is your house” She came closer and  threw punches on my stomach .

 It pains..so much painw. She even hit me with the stick, but I didn't left my house, house that belongs to my family. I didn't. 

At last when I was lying on the floor, she kick me out of my own house. 

 What an irony of my life, 

I have no place to live..no place to say..I keep on beating the door, but they didn't open. 

At last I have no choice but to leave..I went to the nearby park, sitting on the bench, looking at the sky. 

“Mother..father..please..I beg you take me with you..I can't live more..I can't..I am broken..I am weak..I can't fight against her” I murmured. The chilly air hit my bloody face. 

I took out my phone and call Samar,

He is my only friend who can help me now, I can't sit here and wait for my aunt to open the door for me. 

"Samar can you meet me in nearby park of my house please" I whispered, 

With the 'yes' I cutted his call. I couldn't explain more to him. 

After 15 minutes of waiting, I saw a car stopped in front of the garden gate, he came towards me and I hide my face with the muffler. 

“Hey sweetie what are you doing here in such a cold place” he came and sat besides me.

“I am just enjoying the night view” I lied. .

“Enjoying the night view...you are not good enough..in speaking lies Anastasia” He said. 

"I know.. I need to ask you something, Today can I stay in your house please" I pleaded him while sobbing. I could'nt control my falling tears. My face was bruised and my heart was broken into pieces 

"Of course sweetie my home is yours, but what happened and" and suddenly his eyes fell on my face, I tried to cover it but it was all in vain .He had already seen it. 

 "What happened to your face, why it is swollen how did you get these bruises who try to hurt you?" He shouted bombing all the questions in one go.  

"It's Nothing, please take me to your home for one day " I pleaded him. He nodded and held my hands. I put my face on his shoulder and we left.
