CHAPTER 13

SWATHI' S POV 

The moment I walked out from his room! I was glad Meena ma was not anywhere in my eyes sight! A bye to her felt hard but right now I just know what ever happens I need to stay away from her , from her son, Away from all these , away from the painful past I had managed to escaped .

I quickly got into a auto and texted Meena ma about my departure! Reaching my apartment , I found only rahul in couch watching something on the Television.

"Hey swathi" he yelled munching ,his mouth full of popcorn .

"Hello! Where are the others?" I asked removing my sandals and throwing my duppata in the sofa

I quickly joined him grabbing a handful popcorn from his tub and he pouted

"Karunya went to the grocery shop, keerthu with Sid and Dhruv told he is with priya" rahul said and i nodded

Right! Things were happening and i somehow managed to stay here until now .
These people loved me and i know it . My tongue will burn if i doubt and bad mouth their love on me but i also know this is not gone last forever.

I had to move again, Away- not from them but at least from the man who i claimed once upon a time .

Siddharth was Bangalore based and so did priya! So for absolute reason keerthika and Dhruva found comfort here but to me
Karthik was here to .

And I will run from him until my feet hurts!
I had stayed when the entire universe had begged me to leave but now I...I am  simply tired .

"Swaaathhhhiiiii" Rahul yelled shaking my shoulders

"Yes? What happened?"

"I have been calling you for the last two minutes and you were zoned out!" Rahul complained .

Honestly! Rahul was that younger brother to me that I wished i had. He was the perfect blend of sweetness and maturity and I adored him for that .

"Just tired rahul! And was thinking about keerthu's wedding gift" i lied

Years ago! Lying was something i would dare not to but now it came out so easily as if i had been trained for it.

"Ache! You go freshen up i'll make you something hot okay?" Rahul asked and i nodded

Pulling my hairs into a ponytail, i walked to my room and regretted immediately.

My room from two days smelled like him! He did it always everywhere he goes , whatever he does , it does it so effortlessly to leave a impression on himself.

I laid down on the bed probably the same place he would have laid!

Arghh! No not again... Why again ? Whyyy??

I wonder what happened after I left? What made him the man he is now? What happened to the man i left in chennai? What happened to Karthik the man i loved? I Can't help but pray somehow he knowsI am innocent.

Thinking of that a sad chuckle escaped my mouth! How many times had i begged? How many times had i begged for a chance when it was not even my fault?
I hate how years after, where i had made myself believe that i was healed this man walks in again and does this to me.

"Argh" a painful groan escaped my mouth, i felt my entire body in pain
The smell of blood , sweat and dirt all around me, making wanna puke .

I laid on the hard cement ground with my face pressed to the floor and hands tied behind.

Soft footsteps walking towards me and my body immediately flinched he bent down , sat on his toes and with the sight of those military  green boots! I knew he was back. He'll hurt me! It would pain ! I know...

The smoke from the cigarette he had occupied the surrounding and i visually took deeper breaths trying whatever possible ways to not breath that smoke , i was too scared to open my mouth, too broke to cry.

With each passing second i could feel him near me, his hand on the length of my hairs and when his hands touched the back knot of my salwar ,

I PANICKED

I woke up breathing heavily! I looked around and just after seeing the familiar surroundings I realised I was safe , I was not there, he was not here .

Someone knocked the door and I knew it was Rahul.

"Coming... give me two minutes " i yelled from in

I looked a mess , the ponytail i wore earlier had all tangled and I was sweating like a Pig

I fell asleep and now it took me minutes to realise it was just a nightmare , a worst memory.

Tears made their way ! How freaking fragile and vulnerable am I? Why can't I hustled let everything go? Why can't these things leave me alone? Why? Whyyyyy?
