DO YOU HAVE SOMETHING CALLED BRAIN?!

"What do you mean to say, Kira?" Zeva asked with a black face.

 

Kira smiled at Zeva politely and said, "Sister, you don't have to hide now. At first we thought that three years ago, you left our home and the town because you were caught stealing my father's money and were heart broken that the people saw you in the bad light. But it turns out that you were pregnant." Then looking at Lia, she said, "And your daughter exactly looks like you." She said and smiled at Lia.

 

Kira just couldn't stand there being embarressed like that by Zeva, that too in front of her friends. And what she couldn't stand even more, was how people would always praise highly of how beautiful and pretty Senior Zeva looked! So, she wanted to atleast taint her image by bringing out the stealing thing from the past to light.

 

But then, when she saw Lia she became even more happy. As if she had found out a hidden treasure.

Kira was very sure of the theory her mind just crafted that Zeva had a child and that was this little girl. And why not?! Or why would she have left home without telling absolutely no one at all. They did not even know where she lived.

 

Only last year, when Kira came to the city for her high school, and joined this school, did she come to know that Zeva was in the city and was studying in the same school, and was a class senior to her.

 

And judging by the time frame, if Zeva would be pregnant, she would have a daughter like her too! Anyways, Zeva also had a lot of admirers back in the town, so it was not impossible at all. In fact, Kira did not even entertain the idea that her theory could be wrong.

 

Kira's group of friends were shocked on hearing this, and the started gasping and murmuring among themselves.

 

"Kira?" Zeva called out her name coldly, and said, "Are you mentally ill? Or do you not have anything in your skull called brain, and your skull is stuffed with garbage?"

 

On hearing her, Kira was a moment went speechless, and before she could say something else, Zeva continued, "Because someone in the right state of mind won't say something like this, without having any concrete proof."

 

She then looked at them, who looked at her direction with judgy eyes, and sneered. Okay, since they are so interested in her life's gossip, she would indeed give them now.

Looking aback at Kira, who now looked at her with narrowed eyes, as she did not at all like the words uttered by her earlier. But it was just the start. And Zeva said, "Do you know what is the problem with you, Kira? And you dig your own grave while trying to get the fake validation from people around you. You always try to be over smart.

 

And as you said, I was accused of stealing, huh? You should be the last one to restart the topic, specially when I did you a favour by not exposing you, that you did not deserve at all. That money of your father's that was stolen for which I was accused of. No one ever caught me, because I never stole it. I was just accused, that too because of you. As you told them that I was wandering near your parents' room late at night. Remember?"

 

Kira stared at Zeva with a frown on why she was explaining that incident. The other students were also listening to her with great interest. And then made a direct eye contact with her, and sneered before saying, "How is the money doing now, Kira? Is it still stitched inside the pillow of yours?"

 

And the very next second, all the colour from Kira's face flew off. And she looked as pale as a ghost!

How come?! How come, she knows that! 

 

"Y- Y- You! W- W- What are you saying? Don't lie!" Kira stammered.

 

Zeva chuckled and said, "Come on, Kira. I very well know what I am saying. 3rd of September, when your parents were getting ready to visit their friend's son wedding, you have slipped into their room and took that money out of the locker. And then stiched it inside your pillow. Isn't that right? Ofcourse it is, the way you look and sound also speaks volumes about it being true."

 

Zeva then looked at her with disappointment and said, "I took your blame on me, and did not even expose you after all that. I just left the town to keep myself some self respect, and make a good life for myself. But this is how your treat me, Kira?"

 

Kira's friends now looked at he with that judging gaze. And that too agreed with what Zeva said. If Kira had not done anything then why does she look so nervous. She had stolen the money herself, and had blamed Zeva then. And now she is tarnishing her name again. She is so evil. 

 

 

"I- I don't understand.." Kira tried to say something in her defence, but before she could say anything, Zeva interrupted her, "You can keep your explanation to your own self, alright. 

And talking about the baseless stupid claim that you made earlier, this little girl is my adopted little sister.

You actually know, how I lack good people around me as sisters to dote on them, right? So, Lia is my adopted sister."

 

And then lastly, Zeva with a icy tone, "And from now, if I ever hear you spreading this false news about me, I would make sure to give you a good beating and then put you behind bars, in attempt of tarnishing my name!" And after giving a good lecture, Zeva gave them all a last look, before turning on her heels and go from there.
