Akash POV
***********
I entered the living hall and saw Dharani going inside the kitchen. I went to the kitchen and saw shanthi maa and Dharani talking to eachother.
"Do you want anything Dharani" maa asked her. I looked at her she is looking so pale.
"I came here to cook breakfast" she said and started picking stuff.
"You don't need to Dharani. I will make breakfast you go and have some rest Dharani" maa said and caressed her head.
"No aunty, I am the maid here and I should work or else he will become angry" she said and turn on the stove.
I have to do something I thought and went inside the kitchen.
"Go and take some rest Dharani" I said and both the ladies turned towards me. I saw maa is looking angry at me and Dharani, I can't read her emotions.
"I am fine sir and I will prepare breakfast" she said and turned to continue her work.
Sir? Why is she calling me like that?
I quickly went near her and scooped her in my arms and walked towards our room.
"What are you doing leave me, leave me" she yelled hitting my back with her small fists but it is not hurting me.
I walked inside the room and she was struggled in my grip but I held her strong.
I bend to the bed and put her gently on the bed. She quickly tried to get up but I pinned her hands to the bed and moved close to her.
"Wh.... what are you do.... doing?" she asked me moving back.
"Just stay here and have rest. You don't need to do any work" I told her and she frowned.
"I am not the princess of this house to lay on bed and take rest. I am a maid" she said to me and hurt is clearly visible in her face but she masked it quickly.
You are not the maid, you are an angel, yes she is an angel and I want to tell her loudly but I stopped thinking what will she say.
"Just take rest" I told her and left the room.
I went to the kitchen and went to maa.
"Maa" I called her and she looked at me.
"Maa please talk to me" I pleaded her but she turned to other side.
"Maa please I know I did wrong but I realized my mistake maa, please forgive me" I asked her in a pleading tone.
"I am not the one who should forgive you Akash, anyone who should forgive is Dharani. Go and ask for her forgiveness" she told me coldly.
"I will definitely get her forgiveness maa but please for that I want your help please" I asked her.
"Why you need my help Akash when you did all this mistake on your own then you should solve it by your own" she said and I hugged her tightly and cried.
"Maa please don't talk to me like that please. Please forgive me maa" I said to her and she broke the hug.
"I already forgive you Akash the moment you realized your mistake but you should work hard to get Dharani's forgiveness" she told me and I nodded.
Later she asked me to take food for Dharani and handled me a plate. I took her food to the room and opened the door and saw Dharani is not on bed. I kept the tray on the coffee table and looked for her. She is sleeping on the floor on the other side of bed.
"Dharani" I called her patting her shoulder.
She quickly opened her eyes in a jolt.
"I woke up please don't beat me" she said and moved back.
