The Only String Attached

Later Vyom too joined us and we were busy chit chatting. And Yuvi was telling me about his family and their bond with their mom.

"Umm.. Bela sorry to ask but, how did you manage without your mom", asked Vyom hesitantly.

"It's ok, there is nothing wrong in asking that,  I actually never felt that I don't have a mom. My di is more than a mother to me, she sacrificed a lot from childhood for me. So I never felt bad about it",I said looking at them.

"Really Bela, Bani di used to talk about you a lot, I was really excited when I got to know that you are joining here", said Yuvi.

"But nowadays she is not talking about you, she seems lost always", said Vyom .

Ok I also see her lost nowadays but never minded to ask.

"Maybe because I came here now and since you all can see me live, she is not talking about me", I said while laughing.  Everyone started laughing at my lame joke.

"Ok Bela, it's getting late, shall we leave"? Vyom asked.

"Ya you people get going, I will leave after a while", I said.

"Are you sure"? Vish asked.

"Yes my dear pataka, I'm sure you people can leave", I said muffling my smile.

"Belaa.., this Mahir is so dead", she said huffing in anger. We all laughed at her.

"Bela this area is not safe at this time, call me if u need any help", Yuvi said.

I nodded at him and they all left. I was working on my system and looked around. The cafe was empty and I checked the time, it's 8:30. I called di so that she can pick me up but her mobile is switched off. Hesitantly I called Mahir and his mobile too was coming off. I tried everyone's number but this damn network is giving me a trouble.

Since my home was in the next lane, I thought to go by  walk. I was walking holding my phone checking for network, but suddenly I heard some sounds of hooting. I turned around and saw a group of boys following me in a topless jeep. I looked at them and increased my speed.

They started to follow me and I was damn scared. I was trying my dad's number but this network sucks. I started running taking my heels in my hand without turning back. I was running and suddenly collided with a wall. Wait no, it wasn't. I slowly opened my eyes and saw Mahir standing in front of me.

I took a sigh of relief and looked at di who was worried. I saw Mahir fuming in anger. He took hold of my hand and pulled me towards him. Again I banged my nose on his rock hard chest. He looked at those boys and they were vanished within a minute. I was really scared and couldn't talk anything. I felt di tapping my cheeks and shoulders time to time. I came into the real world when I heard his voice.

"Don't you have a mouth to answer? Your sister is asking something", he yelled at me.

I looked at her and blinked my eyes. I hugged her immediately. She was rubbing my back. I was again pulled by him.

"For what you use this fucking phone", he yelled at me throwing my mobile on the ground breaking it into peices. I flinched at his action.
