Four weeks ago, Kizy was living a carefree life, the one where she didn't have to worry about her life after university, or how she would be joining some company.
This was because she had her father for her support. But everything changed on that one single day.
It had been an ordinary day for Kizy. She went to write her last paper for university after which she had planned to work at her father's company. Thus she was happy as the exams were finally going to end.
Plus scoring good at papers was never difficult for her. With the type of photographic memory she had, she never failed to top her exams even once.
Finally after finishing her last exam, their classmates had decided to have a party celebrating the end of their university life.
Kizy, for the first time went for such celebrations, but she enjoyed it a lot.. In fact she had decided to join all the parties that her classmates would throw from now on. But who would have known that this would be her first as well as last party with these people.
She enjoyed the party and went home a little late. It was 9 pm when she returned, definitely later than her usual schedule of returning back home at 7 pm.
She leisurely walked back home, thinking how her life would change from tomorrow onwards. She was way too happy to join her dad's company and help him out in his work.
After all her dad had been her role model. The one for whom she had been studying hard all these years.
The first thing she noticed after returning were a lot of cars parked in front of her house.
'Dad must be having some important guests.' Kizy thought while entering inside.
But the scene that met her eyes was something she won't forget for her entire life.
Her mother was kneeling on the ground, holding her dad's leg, while her face was completely stained with tears, her eyes blood red from a lot of crying.
Meanwhile her dad was trying to get rid of her mom's grip on his leg. He was moving ahead while dragging her mom a little with him.
Another lady was lavishly sitting on their sofa, wearing way too little for her age, legs crossed in an elegant posture, enjoying the drama between her mom and dad.
"Dad!!!" Kizy shouted loudly, unable to bear the scene playing in front of her.
Her mom and dad were always a lovely couple to begin with. Though their marriage was arranged by their families, eventually both of them had fallen for each other.
Her dad loved her mom a lot, even more than his own life. He was someone who couldn't even bear to see her mom get a simple cut from a knife while cutting veggies.
They were like her idol couple. She only dreamt of having a partner like her dad, who would only know how to love and spoil his wife and children to no end.
But today, the same dad was treating her mom so ruthlessly that she just couldn't believe it.
Her dad, who was walking ahead to get rid of her mom, froze in his tracks.
"Kizy, finally... you are back. Please… please convince your d.. dad. He isn't listening to me anymore." Her mom said in a parched voice, her throat dried up from all the crying.
"Shut up Kate." Her dad shouted at her mom, something she had seen happen for the first time as well.
"What's happening dad?" Kizy asked.
"It's nothing dear. You go back to your room." Her dad said, his voice full of guilt.
"No!! What the hell is happening right now? How can you bear to see mom this way? Weren't you the one who couldn't watch her receive even minor injuries? Then how can you let her kneel on the ground and beg you? How can you bear to see her cry so hard? And who the hell is this woman?" Kizy asked in one go while walking towards her mom.
"Kizy, you should not interfere in between." Her dad said.
Kizy ignored him and pulled her mom up, no longer wanting to see her mom plead like a weak woman, which she was never to begin with.
"Kizy.. plea… please tell.. tell him to not do this. How can he.. leave me like.. like this now? How.. how am I.. Am I going to live?" Her mom said between sobs.
"Dad what is the matter?" Kizy asked, her voice full of anger.
"Dear-" Her dad was still speaking when the lady sitting on the sofa could no longer continue with their family drama.
"Honey, let me explain. You won't be able to do that." The lady said in an underestimating tone, infuriating Kizy even more.
"Who do you think you are to interfere in our family matter? Get out of our house right now!!" Kizy shouted at the lady.
"Kizyy!! Apologize now." Her dad demanded immediately, even before the lady could utter a single word.
"Dad!! Seriously? And why should I apologize to her? She was mocking you and is enjoying our family drama? Why ain't I supposed to even ask her to leave our house!!" Kizy shouted back on her dad.
"Kizy, lower your volume first." Her dad said.
"And what about you? Didn' you shout at mom first?" Kizy asked, not in the mood to hear any nonsense.
"Just apologize to her." Her dad continued pressing.
"You never taught me to apologize without making a mistake. I don't see anything wrong in asking her to leave our house." Kizy said, her tone firm.
"You definitely need to be disciplined. If not for him, I would have definitely slapped you by now." The lady said.
"Paula, don't say that." Her dad said.
"Dad what the hell is wrong with you?" Kizy asked, no longer having the patience to keep watching that lousy woman.
"I want to divorce Kate." Her dad said and suddenly the entire world went silent for her.
She just stood there, frozen, not able to comprehend what her dad was saying anymore.
Suddenly her mom shook her, asking her to request her dad to not divorce her, making Kizy wake up from daze.
"Dad are you seriously saying this?" Kizy asked in a cold voice.
Her dad bent his head in shame, not being able to meet his daughter's eyes.
"Answer me dad!!!" Kizy shouted.
"Yes." He said, his head still lowered.
"For this woman?" Kizy asked again.
"She has done a lot for me. I can't repay her even if I was to die and come back again." Her dad said, his voice more stern than what it was moments ago.
"And what exactly has she done? Seduce you? Being a whore who breaks up married couples?" Kizy asked, not being able to tolerate the nonsense her dad was spouting.
"Kizy!!" Her dad shouted.
"Why dad? Did I say something wrong? If not, then why are you and mom, a couple who had been married for more than two decades, are separating? And why are you supporting this slut instead of mom and me!!!" Kizy shouted, tears flowing down her face.
"Kizy no more insulting her. She is going to be your stepmom." Her dad said, and that was the final blow Kizy could receive.
"And you intend to leave mom alone? How is she going to survive without you? Didn't you even think once before making this decision?" Kizy said, her tears flowing continuously.
"She is receiving money for leaving him. What else does she need? Paula said in between.
"So if tomorrow I throw money right on your face, you will leave your man? Is that what you are? Such a lowly slut!!" Kizy said.
"I will definitely teach you a lesson once I become your mom." Paula said, no longer able to tolerate Kizy's insult.
"Kizy, she had supported me when my company was going downhill. She worked hard to secure bigger deals for our company, deals which I couldn't even imagine achieving in this lifetime!! She has sacrificed a lot!!" Her dad said.
"Yeah worked hard in bed, seducing men, sacrificing her virginity and body." Kizy said in a disgusting tone.
"Bitch I won't spare you!!" Paula said, raising her hand at Kizy.
But suddenly Kate stopped her, holding her hand mid air.
"I can tolerate anything but not someone who would even think of harming my daughter." She said before jerking Paula's hand away.
"You.. You.. just wait and watch!!'' Paula said, looking back at Kizy's dad, as if waiting for him to take some action.
"Kate, don't make it difficult for all of us. Just sign the divorce papers." Her dad said in an angry tone.
"I am not signing those… not till the time this woman dies!!" Kate said angrily, no longer in control of her emotions.
"Kate!!" Her dad exclaimed before raising his hand on Kate. But suddenly Kizy stood in between, receiving the slap which was intended for her mom.
"Kizy!!" Her dad said after slapping hard on her left cheek, not believing what he had done, his red five fingers printed on her face reminding him of all the times he had spent with his wife and daughter.
Kizy just touched her burning cheek, the pain making her fear and hate her dad to the core. Whatever feelings that she had remaining for her dad instantly vanished.
She never thought that the person who was supposed to be their family's pillar was abandoning them for some cheap slut.
"Let's see who will make her sign those papers. And dad, you disgust me to no end!! Role model? My foot!!
I am definitely not accepting a whore and leave my mom who has sacrificed her entire life for a shameless man like you, who only values money and runs behind these cheap moneybags like a dog!!
I never had such a dad." Kizy said before leaving the place, dragging her lifeless mom behind her.
"Kizzyyyyy!!!" Her dad shouted from behind, a voice laced with regret and guilt.
