MEAN-KARA
It was a casual dinner at the Oberoi Mansion. As it was already thirty past eight, when I and Rudy completed our school project, Daadi asked me to have dinner with them before driver picks me. I sat in my usual place between Shivay bhaiya and Rudy in the dining table. Since the Oberoi family is filled with three boys, they all pamper me a lot. Jhanvi aunty sometimes tells me that I am like her own daughter only. So, I easily convinced a pouting Rudy to let me sit in his Om bhaiya's designated chair with family's help.
"How dare you sit in my place? his voice sounded angrier than I remembered it from the last time. Stupid tears welled up on my round eyes.
"I... hiccup interrupted my sentence.
"Om, don't use that tone she is a child. said Tej uncle. But his father's warning didn't seem to have reached Omkara's ears as he kept glaring at me with a scowl. "This is my place. He demanded pulling the chair by the head of it. If not for Shivay bhaiyya's protective hold I would have stumbled down.
"Om... Shivay bhaiyya was about to say something but he was stopped by hand gesture of Omkara.
"I hate when anyone tries to come between me and my brothers, no matter if it is someone from outside the family or inside the family. He said the last word glaring at Tej uncle, his own father. This boy is insane. Who talks to their father like that?
No one spoke against Omkara after that, sadly. Daadi made the servant place a chair near Ruddy's and made me sit there. Though the dinner was silent affair, I found Omkara glaring at me often. Such a mean boy. I hate him completely.
Minutes after the dinner, when I was about to get in my car, Omkara stood in between me and my car with his permanent scowl, "Don't think you can take my place in my family or in my brothers' life.
God and only he knows what he meant by that. I didn't let him affect me because I have already decided to ignore him for the rest of my life.
