"Here, miss, 10 instant noodles," a man said with a strange smile, looking at Ruhi with a lewd look.
He had muscular shoulders and a scowl on his face; just a look, and you could tell he had killed people before.
Ruhi frowned but said nothing.
"Thanks, you can take her," the girl said indifferently.
Ruhi looked at her sister with a face full of surprise. "Sister, what do you mean?
A few years ago, the world suddenly changed, an apocalypse arrived, and many disasters followed: floods, extreme heat, extreme cold, and many more.
And the world becomes uninhabitable for plant growth. After that, many people can't even find simple bread to eat.
The world turned into a complete nightmare, and people lost their humanity; they would do anything just to eat a simple roti.
Today, her sister told her that she found a person who agreed to sell food, and we can eat our fill today.
Even though she was quite confused at this time, she was unsure who could actually sell food, but when she asked, her parents told her that he was their friend and they wanted to help him, just as she wanted to prove further.
He argued with her and asked her to hurry, or he would leave.
"What don't you believe about me now? What, your sister is also going here? Then why are you making a fuss?" he said with a face full of anger, so she had no choice but to follow her sister.
Left with no choice, she had to come.
But just as she came here, things completely changed, making her mind go blank, and her head felt like it had been struck by lightning.
As she looked at her sister…. With a face full of disbelief, he asked in a troubling voice, "Aren't we coming here to buy supplies? Then what is happening?
"Siya's eyes fell on her ruhi, and she smiled, then looked at the man. "Sir, can you please give us a minute? I like to speak to my sister for a minute."
He frowned but nodded. "Ok, but hurry; my brothers are waiting for her." And left from there.
After hearing these words, Ruhi became confused or terrified. She asked in a trembling voice after seeing that man leave, "W…"What are you talking about? I don't understand.
"Sister, I think things are quite obvious here; you are here because we are selling you for food," Siya said with a smug smile, her head held high with pride, looking at her with disdain.
Ruhi's eyes widened in surprise, her body trembling all over. She felt like her whole world was collapsing. She said in a hoarse voice, "How can you do this? If the family finds out, they will not let you go."
"Oh, sister, you are so naive. Of course, this is our family's decision, and the most important thing is that, at first, my big brother was coming to sell you, but I insisted; only then did he allow me to come here, and even now they are waiting for me outside."
Ruhi's face turned pale; she denied it and said, "It's not possible; my family will never do that."
"She smiled proudly and said disdainfully, "Oh, really? Then wait."
Then she makes a call to the mother.
After connecting, a mature middle-aged woman's soft voice came, "Siya, how is everything? Have you completed the sale? If yes, then come home fast; that place is not safe."
Siya said in a crying voice, "Mom, do we have to do this? She is this family's daughter; selling her is not good."
"Don't overthink; she is doing her part as this family's daughter by providing for the family."
Her father also said, "Right, Siya, don't overthink; just come home."Her brother also exclaimed, "Right, just come back. You don't have to care about that, stupid girl. Come back. This family only had one daughter; she was just an extra person in the family."
After hanging, she looked at Ruhi provocatively.
After hearing what her family said, her legs felt weak, and she fell.
Ruhi never thought that her own family could do this to her, ever since she was little, because of the many children in the family.
She was sent to her grandparents' house and only came out when she turned 15, and so they favored her little sister only; she still had not thought that they would sell her for food.
"Why are you going to do this to me?" Ruhi asked confusedly.
"Why, because I have you," Siya said with malice.
"Because I was always jealous of you. You are the biological daughter of this family, and I am just an adopted daughter. You were always favored by your grandfather and also had this jade necklace that contained space."
At this time, that man came back with his thug and took her away.
She wanted to yell but had no strength. In these years in the apocalypse, getting a full meal was a luxury.
She looked like a stick, with no meat left, and with this blow, she felt completely helpless and was dragged away by them.
While Ruhi only stared at Siya. She thinks that if she gets another chance, she will definitely take revenge on all of them.
—---
Ruhi felt like she had slept for a long time. She wanted to wake up, but her body felt heavy. The next moment, Ruhi woke up with guilt.
She looked around, confused. Didn't I die after trying to run away? Then why am I still alive?
Then she looks around; it looks like my apartment room, but how am I here?
Then she checked the phone, 1 May 2020, which means I was reborn, reborn 3 months before the apocalypse.
At this time, her phone ran out of battery. She looked at it, and it was Siya. Then what had happened in her previous life flashed through her eyes, and her eyes became sharp.
"Gupta family, siya," she clenched her fist tightly, her knuckles turning white.
Then, after a deep breath, she picked up the phone. "Hello," her voice sounded hoarse.
At this time, a sweet, cozy voice came, "Sister, are you coming for dinner right now? Mom has something special."
Yes, I will come," Ruhi said indifferently, and hung up.
Gupta family, you have already tortured me enough in her previous life. I already repaid you for giving me birth; now I will only care for myself and live for myself.
