Chapter 46 - Treating You Right

Despite the strained relationship with her husband, Maya brought up her daughters assiduously, giving all the love and attention their father never bothered to give. She never directed her worries towards them and made sure their relationship did not affect the upbringing of her children, often compromising her mental peace. Liya was a witness to a lot of ill-treatment her mother used to undergo by her father, especially when she was a small child. Hence, she was always fiercely protective of her mother and also guarded her sister from being involved in such distressing situations. Mae, on the other hand, grew up in a better environment and had a carefree mindset towards everything.

But, being the younger daughter, she was always treated like a child and often patronised by people around her. To cope with that, she often portrayed a very mature front, masking her feelings, but came back and over thought her actions. She focussed more on not hurting others than getting hurt herself.
