"You're an abomination" his voice was loud in my ear, my body shook with the feeling of adrenaline rushing through my veins. "Look at you, you make me sick".
His hand in my hair, yanking my hair from my scalp sent a burning sensation down my back, my nails dragged across the floor, trying to grip onto something, anything to save me from this nightmare.
"Jesus Zoya, you really do know how to wind me up, you see, I dont want to hurt you" his voice was soft now, making me let out a helpless sob
"I just want you to learn when enough is enough, if you would have had dinner on the table on time, this wouldnt of happened" he pressed a kiss to my forehead, letting go of my hair and walking away
I pulled my knees up to my chest, hot tears rolling down my cheeks, closing my eyes tightly I released a shaky sigh, maybe tomorrow would bring better days.

It was a cold, misty evening when Zoya crept out of her house, she rubbed her arms with her numb hands while walking up the road toward the cemetery. Mumbling quietly under her breath, eyes on the floor, not wishing to draw any attention to herself.
Aditya wandered down the long pathway, pulling his hood over his head he shivered, walking faster so he could get home before the rain started to pour. Looking around him, he stepped forward, knocking into something, he grabbed the woman quickly to stop her from falling
Zoya blinked fast as the rain hit hard, shivering as she glanced up into the man's eyes, his hold on her arms slightly painful. She jumped forward at the crack of lightening
Aditya dropped his hands immediatley, pulling his hoodie off he wrapped it around her shoulders "You really should get inside quickly, this place isnt safe when it's dark" he suggested, rubbing her arms
A lone tear made its way down her cheek, blending in with the rain. Zoya wanted nothing more than to stay outside, because that would always be safer than inside.
"Do you need me to walk you somewhere" his voice held concern as he looked her up and down
She shook her head fast, "No, no thank you" she went to walk away when she felt his fingers wrap around her wrist
"Please, its cold and late and I wouldnt sleep tonight if something was to happen to you"
Zoya nodded gently, allowing him to walk beside her. She pushed her arms into the sleeves of his hoodie, crossing her arms to keep some heat to her body.
Aditya paused as he watched her step over the fence of the graveyard, then she sat down on the wet, muddy grass, stretching out her fingers she wiped away the mud from the gravestone to show the names Waseem and Roshana.
Zoya went to speak, then stopped herself, not wanting to reveal to much to the kind stranger behind her.
"Ill turn away" he spoke, wanting to give her privacy
"Abbu, Ammi, its me, Zoya" then she shook her head, her soaked hair hitting her face "I can't handle this anymore" she whispered, she let out a sob "mein aur bardarsht nahi kar sakte" she dug her hands into the wet soil, coughing loudly as sobs racked her body
Aditya turned quickly, lowering himself to her "Hey, hey please dont cry, I know you must miss them, but they wouldn't want you to cry for them, they would want you to be happy" he pulled her head to his chest, she gripped his collar tightly, trying to calm her rapid breathing
Zoya pushed him away, standing up she nodded "Thank you, but I have to go now" she stepped back over the fence, walking away, this was it, today it would be over, she would bare no more pain
Aditya shook his head "Hey, wait" his eyes widened as he saw her walking toward an incoming car
The last thing Zoya heard was a loud beep before she was knocked to the floor. She opened her eyes "No, no why did you save me, please, please, I want to die" she screamed, fighting his hold
Aditya pulled himself up, then her "Listen, listen to me" he shook her "Suicide is not the answer, I dont know what you are going through, but there must be a way out" his heart was beating so fast, his whole body ached, she had nearly died, the thought of anyone dying infront of him was a thought he couldn't digest. He was unsure what she had lived through to push her into trying to take her own life, but he knew he wasnt about to let her do it again
Zoya buried her head into his chest "Please, just let me go, I dont know what to do, please I beg you, have mercy"
Aditya felt her body drop, all of her weight was against him as her eyes shut, "damn it" he tapped her cheek "Come on wake up, wake up" when he received no signal she was going to wake up, he picked her up in his arms and began the walk back to his home, as fast as he could.

Aditya placed Zoya onto his bed, he sat by her feet, rubbing them "Come on, come on, dont give up on me now" he moved up, rubbing her hands "It isnt your time yet, it isnt your time yet"
Zoya's eyes opened, she gasped loudly making him release a sigh of relief
"You stupid woman, you scared the hell out of me" for a slight second he thought it was over for her, his body was still frozen with fear
Zoya's eyes widened and she shuffled back, her arms raising to cover her head "Im sorry, please dont hurt me" she begged
Aditya pulled her arms away from her face "Hurt you, why would I do that"?
