Continuous fighting of his parents didn't let him eat in peace.

Viyaan banged the spoon on plate and got up, but his parents didn't bother and kept arguing. He went to kitchen and after getting soda can, he went to his room.

Getting into his room, Viyaan leaned against the headrest of bed, letting out a sigh, he opened the can and drank the soda.

He closed his eyes for a time and reminisced his childhood. All he saw was a small boy sitting in the corner of his room, crying and scared as the haunting voices of his parents arguing won't stop.

But today its changed, now he sits in the dark but doesn't cry anymore, now he doesn't care anymore.

Turning and tossing on her bed, she finally got up getting no sleep. Liha burried her face in her hands, as she cried.

Everyone thought, her life is perfect. Money, luxury, everything she has, but no one knew she lacked love, peace and comfort.

All her life, she got fake friends, who only used her. This is the reason she has become like this. Everyone just knows how to blame, how to judge, but no one wants to know the reason behind it.

Whats her fault that she is like this? Why its so hard for everyone to accept her as she is? Why its so hard for everyone to love her?

She has no one in her life who can ask her if she's okay. She has no one who can see the pain behind her smile. There's no one who can know she might be crying at this hour of night, because to everyone her life is perfect.

With loud music on, he was practicing basketball in his room. Not caring about anything, he was lost in his world.

"Kartik, can you slow down the music and practice tomorrow? We've to sleep." His dad said, standing at his door.

Kartik turned off the music.

"Yeah? I'm disturbing your peace of time with your wife, don't I?" Kartik said sarcastically.

"You need to behave yourself, and never talk with me that tone again" His father said angrily and left banging the door behind.

Kartik threw ball angrily at dressing table, not caring all his things fell down from table, containing sprays and many things. He purposely turned the volume loud.

Nothing was like before, his happy world was lost somewhere. He might be smiling all day but he has forgotten what its like to be happy anymore.

His father was changed, he now never asked him about basketball, they used to play together now he doesn't even have time for his son. They used to share movie nights, now he doesn't even bother to check on his son. His father never raised his voice on him, and now just because of his wife he scolds him and is so distant from him.

Kartik kept looking at door that his father might come and check on him, he might bring back those moments they used to share. But no one came.

With his mom, he lost his dad as well and his happiness too.

Plunging earphones in her ears, Naira leaned back and relaxed listening to music.

As the previous song ended, the next song played, her eyes opened as the song bring back bitter memories. She didn't stop it and let the song play, she let herself to get hurt again.

Tear escaped from the corner of her closed eyes.

"I'm always here for you."

"When no one understands, I would understand you."

"I will always be by your side."

"I don't need to seek validation from you anymore."

"I can't do this anymore, I'm sorry."

A pant escaped her lips.

Its strange, how people come in your life and make you believe them, they make you open up to them, they make you rely on them and then suddenly they leave without caring about you.

Nothing hurt as much as seeing your worth getting less infront of your eyes. Seeing the people you love, doing just fine without you, they being so happy without you.

And now when the curtains of darkness prevails, her eyelashes hold drops. Her eyes shed tears, while her mind recalls the memories. Memories, that were once reality. She never thought of waking up from this dream, never thought of this bubble bursting and water scattering in the corners of her life she never knew existed. Hopes broke in her eyes that were yet to build.
