Let You Go-(Maya X Rudra FF)

Disclamier: This is a story adapted from a book I read by Randi Cooley Wilson from Revelation series, but the storyline will be completely my own imagination. Bits and bobs, I will be adapting from Randi's book..

Please also note that this book will have mature content! Be careful to the younger audience.

Thanks

Prologue:

"Empty words and broken promises is all I have of you-Unknown"

Moving on from the person you gave so much to is the most arduous task in the world. I loved him dearly with every inch of my heart but he had betrayed me, breaking my trust. He stabbed me in the heart, no it was not physical stab but it was the deeper cut within my soul that was destroyed from the one person I had ever loved. I would never forgive him for his words and actions...That day was a nightmare I wish to erase..

*Going back to the moment*

Maya jaysingh rathore, an entreprenuer had everything she could ever ask for. A perfect husband, a perfect family home. She had it all. She was glowing with happiness. They were going to be a family soon.

She was escatic to tell her husband about the good news that she was expecting a child.

She knew that Rudra had always wanted a family. His wish was going to be fullfilled now and Maya couldnt wait.

That day, she had decorated the place with beautiful fairy lights, white and red roses spread on the floors with candles lit on the sides of their corridor home. It was a magical decor.

Maya that night had waited and waited. Hours passed but there was no sign of her husband.

"Just where is Rudra?" Maya wondered to herself.

That was when the door opened and Rudra stood at the door. He looked tensed, he looked disheleved with his shirt buttons out of place, his hair a mess. It looked like he had been battered and bruised. The door slammed shut, making Maya startle a bit.

"What happen baby?" Maya asked

"Nothing happened, I just felt like beating myself" Rudra answered in a sarcastic tone.

"Baby why you being like this, is everything okay?" Maya asked

"Is everything ever okay Maya?" Rudra said

Maya was confused now.

"What do you mean?" Maya said..

"Nothing, I need to sleep" Rudra said, not even acknowledging the decorations and any sort of effort Maya had put to surprise Rudra.

"Rudra wait, before you go, I have something to share with you" Maya said quietly.

"What is it now Maya?" Rudra said sounding irritated.

"Rudra, I need you to calm down but I just wanted to say that you are going to be a father soon" Maya said smiling.

"WHAT?" Rudra said screaming at Maya. He looked engraged as if someone had slapped him on the face.

"Are you not happy baby?" Maya asked.

"HAPPY?? MAYA, I HAVE NEVER BEEN HAPPY, NOT WITH YOU" Rudra spat.

"I DON'T WANT THIS CHILD, I KNOW IT'S NOT EVEN MINE"

"I DON'T EVEN LOVE YOU"

"I LOVE SOMEONE ELSE"

"YOU DON'T MEAN ANYTHING TO ME"

Maya just stood shocked. In the three years of marriage, She had never felt this broken. She was shattered. She had given her all to this man. Yet he had never loved her. That night, with tears glistening in her eyes, She had walked away from her husband...Leaving him standing where he was. She had never bothered to look back, she didn't want to and she didnt care.

She was done...She was letting

Letting a part of her heart go.

Chapter 1:Without You

"A broken heart bleeds tears"-Steve Maraboli

[Author POV]

The sun radidated throigh the wide open windows, bringing in its natural warmth through the curtains. Birds could be heard chirping outside, the smell of fresh cut grass and flowers in the air. It was a beautiful day. Except that this bright day wouldnt bring any smile to someone's face.

Five years, 4 months and 2 weeks, since he had lost the person he loved.

Words had spewed from his mouth like venom that night. The night she walked away from him. Words that he didn't mean....but he had no choice...He had left her broken hearted.

And he knew that her walking out and leaving him was what he deserved...Loneliness, that is what he deserved.

Currently Rudra laid in his large king-sized bed, with clothes scattered around and beer bottles thrown of the floor, packets of crisp packets scattered around the carpet floors. The whole room, was a mess. Everything in his life was a mess. The entirity of his room was basically a giant mess and it stank of alcohol. Rudra lay half asleep, lost in his own wave of nightmare and thoughts.

He was only awoken by a voice that seemed to be annoyed early in the morning. The one of his older brother. He had thought it was his parents but then again his parents would never care, they never had.

"RUDRA! YOU BETTER BE AWAKE IN 15 MINUTES OR I'M COMING UP TO DRAG YOU IF I HAVE TO"

"OH BE QUIET! I AM WAKING UP, NO NEED TO SCREAM EARLY MORNING AARYAN" Rudra screamed.

As Rudra got up, he could feel a stinging headache coming in. The aftermath of getting drunk, this was the hangover that everyone suffered.

Rudra quickly got up, grabbing some painkillers from his medicine cabinet, downing them with a bottle of water next to his bed. He didn't bother to clean up the mess in his bedroom. He would do that later. He just picked out some decent clothing before heading down to breakfast before his brother actually came up. It was 7:00am in the morning and he knew he had to get up. He did have rehersals afterall.

"Morning Rudra" Aaryan said as he saw his brother come down

"Moring bhai" Rudra answered

"Rudra have you not slept properly?, you look so disheveled and out of place" Aaryan said.

"Thanks bhai and I had an amazing sleep you know bhai" Rudra answered his voice laced with sarcasm.

"Oh would you like some pancaks today or would you prefer waffles?" Aaryan asked

"What's with pancake and waffles today? normally we have like Toast or roti, whats happening" Rudra asked.

"Nothing special. I just felt like cooking today for my brother" Aaryan chimed with a smile.

"Whatever Bhai, I don't have an appetite" Ill grab something on the way to work. With that Rudra was about to leave but Aaryan stopped him.

"Hold on, don't leave empty stomach, have something, let me cut you some fruits or something" Aaryan said

"Why are you being like my mother bhai and Im not a kid" Rudra said

"Whatever, and listen Rudra, You really need to stop with your late night parties and drinking habits, its not good for you or your reputation" Araryan said.

"You mean I need to watch my reputation? Don't worry brother, I won't tarnish it" Rudra said before walking out. He didn't want to hear it, not today. He was sick and tired of listening to the same thing everyday.

Rudra was a musician, a producer and an artist. He had worked hard to get to where he is now. The five years of gruelling hard work had paid off. Rudra was basically a pop idol today. To the world, he was this perfectionist. A man of great callibre and persona. He was well loved by everyone. But the inner part of Rudra knew he was neither of those. To the outer world, he put on a facade of party king, smiling always and providing snarky remarks but on the inside, he was a broken man. He had destroyed the one that he loved...

Rudra worked at the Revelation music studios. A company that had given him so much. Rudra loved to dance and he loved music. He arrived in the studio after a 40 minute drive. Many of the staff members greeted him with a smile as he walked in with "Good mornings". He greeted a few of them before heading to his studio to pratice. They had a massive music conert coming up in about a week and Rudra wanted to give it his all. His fans were his everything afterall. The form of joy after she left, well more like when he made her leave...

Rudra quietly changed into much comfier clothing before walking out.

As he got to the studio, he was met with his choreographer and best friend Theodore.

"Hey Rudra, you ready dude?, we have some intense songs to get through today but let's begin nice and slow" Theo said

"Sure let's get it" Rudra said smiling.

The way you cry, the way you smile

naegen eolmana keun euimiin geolkka? [I wonder how much they mean to me]

doraseomyeo huhwehaetteon mal [Translation: The words I regretted when I look back]

The song played as they swayed to the sounds of it. The dance was slow, as they picked up the pace. Rudra lost himself in the sound of music, not realising how much time had surpassed. They had praticed hard on today but it felt good.

"That was great Rudra" Theo said.

"Thanks bud, what would I do without you" Rudra said.

"Oh whatever " Theo eye rolled before heading off to change and shower. Rudra soon followed in tow to do the same. It had been a long day of pratice. Rudra had a final meeting for the concert the next day so he was to go home early as of now.

Rudra thanked his bestfriend before walking out into the dark. There was no moon lit tonight, only gloomy clouds. Just perfect to match his mood and his empty heart.

Translation credit for song goes to the appropriate translator (Believe its TeddybearLove).

Song name is Sing for you by Exo, one of my favourite songs.

Chapter 2:

"Hell is empty and all the demons are right here on this earth"

Rudra arrived at his house at last. It had been a long drive home, almost an hour due to the freeway traffic. His home was located in a quaint suburb area of California. The night stars were twinkling in the sky and the view of the city looked mesmeric at night from the hill top. Rudra quietly walked into his house. It was past midnight so his brother would be asleep right now or so he thought.

What he didn't expect as he walked inside to see was Vanraj Singh in the middle of their massive living room. Their father. The same person who was responsible for the seperation of Rudra's love.

"You're home son finally" Vanraj said standing up.

"Why do you care and what are you doing in my property?" Rudra asked sounding absoultely annoyed.

"Now Now Rudra, that's not how you talk to your father is it?" Vanraj said

"WHAT DO YOU WANT MR SINGH?" Rudra screamed

"Calm down Rudra, your mother and brother are sleeping" Vanraj said.

"Seriously what do you want? Have you not had enough ruining my life already?" Rudra said with venom in his voice.

"Rudra, I just wanted to talk to you about quiting whatever show biz your doing and joining our family business" Vanraj said.

"How about NO?" Rudra said

Rudra hated his so called family business. It was more like a gang business where they extracted money from the people who borrowed them and if they couldnt pay beat them up. They looted people, destroying lives. Some were kept hostage. He hated his so called father for it. His actions was disgusting. His father being the so called DON could do anything within his power to shake people up...Rudra knew this bitter truth only too well...It was more like money laundering, an illegal crime. Rudra had wanted to expose this many times, except that everytime he attempted, nothing seemed to work on his favour. He didnt understand how his own mother dealt with this.

"Rudra you don't want to say No now do you?" Vanraj tsked at Rudra

"I CAN AND I WILL "DAD", I AM A GROWN UP MAN WITH A SUCCESSFUL CAREER..." Rudra said

"Rudra you just don't understand do you? You remember what happen five years ago right?, what if I find her again?" Vanraj said taunting Rudra.

That made Rudra more angry. A part of him wanted to punch Vanraj but Rudra knew better than to react.

"No matter what you say "dad" I will never join your illegal business, I have built a career out of my own hard work, dont you destroy it" Rudra said.

"Son, I am not here to destroy you but pass you on the family legacy" Vanraj said

"MR SINGH, I DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT, I AM TOO TIRED! plus you have invaded my home without my permission with "mother", who isnt even my "mother", I hope that you leave first thing tomorrow. I am too tired!" Rudra said

And with that Rudra left with Vanraj smirking to himself. He knew how to control his son...He knew how to get Rudra on his side. Rudra had the brains, his ample influence would come in handy Vanraj thought...

This was just a beginning to a new hell....

Next Morning:

Rudra was woken up once again but this time it was his phone. He sighed checking the time. It was 7:30am. He needed to get ready for final rehersals today.

He was looking forward to the final preparations.

Getting up, he quickly showered and got ready to head down for breakfast.

Downstairs it seemed quiet. Rudra just grabbed granola bar and an apple before heading towards the door. He didn't have the energy to deal with anyone especially after the encounter with his "father".
