Chapter 35

🌷Meera POV

"Let's break up"

Yes, I said that, that! To the man, I love the most. I said I fell out of love with the man I love the most. I said I don't want to talk about it anymore to the man I love the most. Why?! Cause I always learned in situations like these don't trust your heart, trust your brain. My brother knows where I am, soon my parents will flock in with him to take me away.

I don't want him to hurt when I go missing...So, break-up seemed like the best option. But, I still love him. I still want him. He has become the reason I am alive now and breaks me from inside out that I broke his heart. 

But I don't want him to hurt when am betrothed as a maid to someone else for money. I don't want him to hurt when some else starts owning me without my consent. That is the reason break up seemed the best.

I cried, cried, and cried more. But the pain in my heart never ceased and this was all inflicted by me. I did this with my own two hands. Now, what is the point of regretting it?

Every damn day Rahul came to knock on my door an hour after I reached my apartment from college. For the past one week, he stayed by the door, Banging it for hours together. But I never opened it. I am the worst person he would ever find. I am such a cruel person. He seriously doesn't deserve me. But that doesn't change the fact that he would hurt more after he sees what happens.

It's better to cut it off from my side rather than him feeling there is still hope. How ironic that am the villain of my love story. Every day is the same, cry waking up from bed and cry going back to sleep.

Today, I try to not cry at all, but who am I kidding? After getting off the bus I reach my apartment but the door was already open. I was scared to go inside because I already knew what was waiting for me.

But still, I had to put an end to this and dance on their instructions. I go inside to find my so-called parents sitting on the sofa with all their glory. My brother was standing beside them leaning on the wall. I walk in trying to look strong but it surely was in vain.

As I try to go inside my room without paying attention to them, so I can lock myself off in my bedroom, my brother was fast enough to my hair and throws me down on my knees.

That hurts so much!

I try hard not to cry, but tears find their way and I slowly start sobbing. Stop being so weak Meera do something?!

I keep my head hanging low. I feel footsteps coming towards me, it was my mom.

" Look who is here for you?" she says her words sounding sweet, but dripping venom.

No matter what she will only be met with silence anyway.

"It looks like you stopped pigging and finally lost some weight. But still, you look like a pig anyway." She mutters again and starts jiggling the fat on my arms. I cry silently not knowing how to get out of this situation.

I do nothing but sob, and my brother doesn't move his hand which just adds more pain.

"I also heard that you are toying with a really rich guy? Does he pay you well for opening your legs for him every god damn day?" She says lifting my chin with all force and looking straight into my eyes.

This surely set me off. They didn't have to bring Rahul in. What the hell do they think of themselves.

"He has nothing to do with this, Shut the filthy mouth of yours if you want to keep your respect and dignity," I tell her perfectly showing the anger in my voice.

"Oh! This girl has her tongue, I see. Talk more and you will lose it." She says half looking at her husband and the other half-pressing her nails into my cheeks. They sure did form cuts. But I was used to this pain. I felt pain a lot but I was used to it.

"Like I give a god damn fuck! You guys are the ones who never cared for their own daughter." I shout at the top of my lungs. I don't know from where am getting this much confidence to say these words. But I surely don't regret it.

But soon I felt diminished and all the confidence vanished when my dad came and slapped me tightly on my face. That slap was enough to split my cheek again I could taste blood in my mouth. Why do I have to always surrender to them? am I that weak? When the hell will I stand up for myself? I hope the answer is not never.

" Who the fuck said you're our own daughter? This filthy bitch is our daughter? No chance." He says while laughing. I am not their daughter what are they talking about. I am not understanding anything and the pain is not helping at all.

" What?" was the only word I could muster up.

"You are my good for nothing sister's daughter. Your mom and dad died in a car crash just after a few days of giving birth to you and you became a burden to us all because of the god damn court. You did get money from your parents, but we took it, which surely doesn't make up for the amount we invested in you while you stayed in our house. Now you owe us money." this was my aunt's turn to talk? What the hell is going on!

My parents, they were dead? Why didn't they tell me anything? So these are not my parents! I feel weirdly comforting that they are not my parents. But still, it hurts that I never knew who my real parents were.

" I don't owe anything to you guys," I say with some much force that the blood in my mouth splatters out. But now the only thing I care about is getting away from here.

"Maybe your toy would pay us. I guess he came here for your leg opening appointment. By the way, he is handsome." She says with a cocky smile on her face. 

But her words were enough to make me off guard. I yank off my brother's hands and turn around to find Rahul. He was boiling with anger and by the guess of it, he did listen to whatever was happening. He was standing there his hand in a tight fist as if ready to punch anything and everything in his way.

Without a further thought he walks past me towards the woman- yeah I could refer to her like that. He goes to stand in front of that woman and slaps her super hard.

"DON'T.TALK.SMACK.ABOUT.MY GIRL."
