Chapter-13
**Feelings Are Mutual **

"Please don't leave me," Swara said, holding Sanskar's hands.

"Swara?" Sanskar spoke softly. 

"Please don't leave me with Sahil, please," she cried, burying her head in his hands.

As she cried holding him, he felt something pierce his heart. Her nails were digging into his arms as her hold was tight.

"Swara... shhh... It's fine... I will not leave you," he tried to calm her.

But still she did not stop crying. 

"Swara...." he tried to shake her.

"Sahil. Please leave me... it's hurting me," she mumbled.

"Swara, wake up. No one is hurting you. You are just having a dream. No one can touch you. I will not let that happen," he said cupping her face.

She opened her eyes and looked at him. She immediately backed away from him and started crying. "Please... I am sorry..." she cried loudly.

Her words made him look down. Never in his life did he feel guilty about something.  But she made her feel so. "Ssshhh! Calm down. It's okay," he motioned with his hands. 

"No... you will hurt me again..." she said in between her sobs.

"Swara, I will not hurt you," he said.

"Promise?" she asked in a low voice.

"Yes, I promise," he said with sincerity evident in his tone. 

"But you always hurt me. I don't believe in your promises. You promised me that you will delete Ragini's video but you didn't.. I don't trust you. I have learned that promises are lies," she said.

He felt himself breaking into two. She was right, he thought. He broke all the promises he had made to her. How could he tell her that he would die a thousand times rather than hurt her?

"I know. I am sorry. Now, I am not going to let anyone hurt you, not even me," he promised .

"I hate you," she said.

"I know," he said. "Now sleep. You need rest," he said, making her lie on the bed properly. 

Due to tiredness she slept easily. Sanskar sat across her on the bed and silently observed her as she kept sleeping. Her long dark hair, her hazel eyes, her rosy lips ... she had some control over him. 

She was the one who could bring the best and the worst out of him. Never had he felt such anger before today. Never did he get the urge to kill someone before that day. Never was he mesmerized by someone before that day. She had made him feel guilty for the first time. She was like his strong dose of drug.

Soon, Sanskar slept beside her with his one hand holding her waist securely while Swara's head was on his other hand.

Hatred paralyzes life, but love releases. Hatred confuses life, but love harmonizes. Hatred darkens life, but love illuminates it.

Swara's POV:

I woke up when I felt something on me. I turned and saw it was his hands on my waist.

What? He was sleeping with me? Did he again take advantage of my sleeping for?

I have already lost my dignity to him once. Did I lose it again?

I checked my clothes and it was orderly which means nothing happened last night. I thanked my God.

But why is he sleeping beside me? Then the image of last night flitted across my mind. I had a dream about Sahil and insisted that he stayed with me.

Seriously? Am I mad? Definitely Swara, you are.

I requested the guy who had snatched my dignity away, to stay with me for the night to comfort me?. How could I do that?

He is a heartless beast.

I saw that I was sleeping on his arms. It must be paining him.

Let it pain, I scoffed. It's a thousand times less than the pain which he has given me.

He is absolutely a beast who has broken me.

I stopped crying and went to the washroom. I washed my face and took a bath. Shit! I forgot I have nothing to wear. What am I going to do now? I stayed in the washroom for almost half an hour, thinking what to do. Having no other way, I came out of the washroom wrapped in a towel.

When I came out, I saw a simple pink kurta and white pants on the bed.

I looked at the other side of the bed but Sanskar Sir was not there. It must be him who brought this dress. I wore that dress. I went to the dressing table, combed my hair and tied it into a ponytail.

I opened the door and came out. I descended the stairs but what I saw in the hall shook me.

I saw Sanskar Sir and a girl in a short one piece clinging to each other and doing disgusting things. The girl circled her arms around his neck and she kissed him on the cheek. I looked away instantly, feeling awkward.

I have seen the girl somewhere. Oh, yes. She's the same girl who had once pushed me in office intentionally and made fun of me. I know her name. Kavita.

She noticed me and gave me disapproving looks. She scanned me from head to toe.

"She's here?" She asked, despising me.

Sanskar Sir said nothing but he just looked at me.

"Your last night's dose?" Kavita asked.

I was shocked at her question. Sanskar Sir tugged her arms away from his body.

"Hey girl. Your work is done now. So, just get lost," Kavita said to me.

"She is not going anywhere. Now you get lost. Kabir will show you the way out," he said to Kavita.

With that he led me upstairs to my room. Once inside he didn't leave my hand. He just stood there looking at me.

"You don't have to kick her out because of me. This is your house and you can do whatever you desire," I said softly.

"Yes. This is my house and I can do anything," he said coming close to me.

His hot breaths were fanning my neck. I swear I wanted to throw the vase on his face. I pushed him out of the room and closed the door. He started banging the door.

"Open the door," he roared.

I was silent.

"Don't force me to break the door," he shouted while banging the door loudly.

I opened the door and began to take steps back nervously but he pushed me to the wall behind me.

"How dare you close the door at my face?" he spat.

I tried pushing him but all my efforts were in vain. His one hand clutched my waist while the other hand was on my hairs gripping them tightly.

"You bitch, if I am giving you attention, it doesn't mean that you are the owner of this house. Get that in the tiny brain of yours", he said, gripping my hair more tightly.

The pain that I felt was really severe. His heart is made of stone. No. He doesn't have any heart.

"Do you understand?" he asked, pressing my jaws.

It hurts. Why can't he understand.

"Now listen to me and I won't be repeating any of it again. Just stay in this room. Don't you dare come out of this room. If I see you outside, the consequences won't be good," he roared.

I was just crying. It was not that I wanted to cry. My tears fell on their own.

"Do you understand?" he asked.

I just stared at him.

"Answer me," he said, pressing my waist.

I was in no state to utter something so I just nodded.

"Good girl," he said and left me.

I raised my head and my eyes met his. His anger had now subsided. He looked at me with some different kind of expression. I rubbed my eyes which were red because of crying.

"I hate you," I snapped at him.

"Feelings are mutual," he replied with no expressions .

I just hate this man. I hate everything about him.
