Chapter 7- The Demons of Past

Maya avoided Rudra as much as she could. She hadn’t answered his texts or hadn’t received his calls. She would stop tutoring him, even if the exams were approaching. Rudra had fallen into the schedule they had prepared and was attending lectures, Maya was sure he would at least pass without her help.

She felt his eyes on her back but still didn’t turn. The day passed on, and unlike every day where Rudra bunked at least one lecture, he was there for all and didn’t even miss the day’s practical, though they were in different batches.

“I need to talk to you,” She flinched as his voice echoed in her ear. She looked at Mr. Iyer leave and shook her head.

“I don’t want to,”

“Maya, I respect your decision, and I want to tell you that I am not judging you,” She looked up at him.

“Not for anything,not even for hurting yourself,” She felt her mouth hang open. He smiled softly at her and stood up to leave.

“I’ll wait for you in the car,”

She wasn’t sure as to what to do, but her guts told her that she should talk to him, so that’s what she did. He drove to a nearby hill, which was usually where the couples went to seek privacy, but with the monsoon sinking in, they went back to empty classrooms and parking lots.

____________

Rudra has spoken to Ananya last night, who told him not to question Maya about anything, nor ignore her. He had decided to speak Maya first, but when Ananya was rambling about her ex texting her, she caught on his vague replies and forced it out of her. Diya would be so proud of her prodigy! “Just be there for her, if she wants to talk about it, you will listen, else you will talk about the weather,” She had said on the call.

____________

He didn’t step out of the car; it was cloudy and he didn’t want to get drenched.

“Maya, I just wanted you to know, the reason I did drugs was that I had survivor’s guilt. The guilt of being alive when my mom and my unborn sibling died,”

“Rudra, why are you,”

“No,” he interrupted her, “we all have our pasts to haunt us and the future to scare us,but I want you to know, that no matter what, I am here for you,”

“Even after knowing that I cut myself open almost every night?”

Rudra nodded. Last night he had figured out Maya a bit more. He figured out why Maya wanted to make an app that would act as a platform where a person suffering from depression or any mental illness could contact a psychiatrist and get help,without disclosing his identity. And he had given her the idea of providing medical and legal facilities to the users when it grew more.

It was a huge app and she was building it but lacked funds, and she had told him a few days after his first session that the dean had offered her funds and contacts of people that she would require in exchange of teaching him, but Rudra couldn’t hold grudge against her for thinking of her own gain when her app idea was this amazing, and now he understood that it came from a personal space.

“Mom had a fight with dad and then she took me with her in the car. She was advised bed rest and wasn’t allowed to drive, what with three miscarriages, but the fight was so bad that she didn’t care and drove. Our car hit a truck and she threw herself on me so that I get the least of the impact, and that’s what happened. She died, I didn’t,” He sighed and looked at her.

“I am slowly getting over her death and I hope I can help you get whatever you have faced,”

He smiled as he started the car. She looked at him with tears pooling in her eyes.

____________

It was nearly 7.45 pm, the hostel closing time, so they left from there and Rudra pulled over in the parking lot to see the white BMW with the black sticker on the number plate.

“I’ll see you later, Maya,” He said as he got out of the car. Maya stepped out of the car in confusion and looked at the man who was stepping out of the car. Her blood went cold as her heart beat thudded against her rib cage. She felt her breath in her lungs, struggling to come out.

Before Rudra knew it, she ran away.

“What are you doing over here?”

Rudra yelled at his father.

“I am here to see my son?”

“Oh really? Where is he? The last time I checked, you had no children after your wife met with an accident,”

“Then who are you?”

“Something that your wife left behind whom she wouldn’t take along with her!”

“Rudra, please!”

“No, Mr. Roy! Not today! I want to know! Why did Mom leave you? What had you done? You had affairs even the two of you were together, then why did she want to leave you?”

“Rudra, shut up!”

“No, I won’t!”

“Yes, you will!!’

“Why? Because you raped a child? That you displaced her whole family from Delhi to Mumbai?Because you threatened her father’s job? Because your wife had panic attacks since her second miscarriage and you were never there for her? I was ten, yet it was me who had to help her out of it! Is that what you want to hide from the world Mr. Roy? That you are a spineless, disgusting man who is not fit of becoming a husband, a father or a human?”

Rudra was seething.The questions in his head were reeling like crazy, since the day he was discharged after the accident, and today, after 10 whole years, he needed closure. It was the darkest secret he had buried deep in his heart. Both his parents had assumed that Rudra hadn’t heard the conversation, but he had.

And that is why when his father had forced him to do Engineering, he insisted it should be Mumbai, forcing him and Daadi to shift to Mumbai, and the fact that the students had to stay in the hostel and not with their parents was another plus point. He wasn’t sure what he why he had shifted here, but here he was. Maybe,he wished to see guilt in his father's eyes, but MJ was way past feeling guilt or remorse, he wasn’t a human anymore.

“Rudra, that was in the past, and what’s the big deal, it's just a kid!”

“Shut up!” Rudra yelled, his blood boiling. He turned to look away, not liking to witness this man’s face when he realized Maya wasn’t around. Maybe she had left them to give him some privacy.

“Please just leave from here. I wished to see you rot in jail, but that isn’t happening anytime soon, but I don’t want to stay around you, you disgust me! I am scared of you,of becoming like you and that fear has been destroying me for ages now. But I am becoming better, I was healing, and then you showed up,”

He felt his breathing go abnormal, something that hadn’t happened in weeks now, but here he was. He pushed his father and ran away, as fast as his legs could do so.

MJ sighed. One mistake in the past and he was still suffering, he wished he hadn’t seen that girl all that ages ago.

Awesome as usual!!

So, Rudra finally told Maya why he started taking drugs. Wonderful!!!

And Ananya was the one who told him how to talk to her... Good.

And MJ... He raped a kid!! And even displaced her entire family, threatened her father's job...

And Rudra knows about it... And he hates his father because of that!! MJ definitely deserves it...

And Antara too left MJ because of this incident??

Was that kid Maya only?? Cos Maya ran away at the sight of MJ...

Loved reading it...

Waiting for the next part.
