Maya is into self harm & cutting herself😭
Every time I read a story which deals with cutting hands makes me feel someone taking my hands cutting it with something Sharp & I am bleeding. Ik it's weird 🤦😥 I got Goosebumps ... I can feel her pain poor girl 😢 desperately needs to heal.
Love the conversation between Diya & Rudra 🙌.
In this story Anatra has some self respect & she can makes decisions for herself which we will never see in the show 😏🤦.

I always wanted Antara to grow a spine, so gave her that arc in the story😆
Chapter 6-The Scars
"You have been of great help, Diya. I have had difficulties while sleeping but still, I am doing better," Rudra said as they began their third session.
"It's not me,it's you Rudra. You wanted to help yourself, and that is the first step of fighting depression,"
"Yes, but if it hadn't been you and Maya, I would have been a mess, still!"
Diya looked at him for a few seconds, frown slowly forming on her face.
"It's not my place to say Rudra, but before you go getting attached to Maya, it's better if you know that she isn't like other girls, or like my other patients. I know she is getting better, but still."
Rudra felt confusion stirring inside him.
"What do you mean by that?"
Diya shook her head.
"Please, tell me,"
"Do you have feelings for her?" The question was blatant, and it shook Rudra. In the past few weeks, he hadn't thought of it, he knew he was falling for her, but was scared to admit.
She was a mystery,and Rudra was never good with games and relationships. How could he be? His father spent his entire life playing games with him and his mother was never around for him to see the love between them (at least his mom said that she loved MJ, irrespective of his short comings). All he saw was MJ with various women, and he was scared he would turn out to be like him. So, when he questioned himself about his and Maya's friendship, it scared him.
"I don't know," he said meekly.
He stepped out of the cabin, in 45 minutes to see Ananya on her phone. Ananya was the friend he never had. With Maya it was never fun and games, it was raw emotions that surfaced, he did behave brashly around her, but every time they were together,all he had were questions.
But Ananya wasn't that, she was silly when she wanted to be, and wouldn't shut up about Harry Potter, something that was common between the two. She was a psychology student, who worked part-time with Diya so as to learn more.
"Preparing fora ballet, Mehta?" She rolled her eyes as she kept her phone down.
"Nope,studying about self-harm, did you know that A 2012 review of 52 self-injury studies from around the world found that around 18% of individuals had cut or otherwise deliberately injured themselves in their lifetime?"
"Whoa! And why are you reading about it?"
"Mam has a new patient who indulges in self-harm and had this huge crazy wound that almost made me puke, so I was just studying about it,"
"Ok,"Rudra looked at her skeptically. He never found it charming to cut himself open, thank you very much, so imagining someone else hurt them self was a thought that made him sick.
"I'll see you later," She waved and went back to her phone.
____________
"Where were you?" Maya hissed as he occupied the seat next to her.
"Therapy?"
"You purposely took a morning appointment, right? To miss Jha's lecture?" He smiled cheekily at her.
"Anyway, the test marks are out and you passed." Rudra sighed in relief. That bloody idiot had given them a surprise test and on the very day when he had decided to attend Jha’s lecture last week.
"Really? Thank god!" He touched her arm by mistake and she winced.
"Oh shit,sorry," he said and the next second he lost his shit, for her white sleeve was slowly turning copper-red.
"Maya, you are bleeding!"
"Rudra, shut up!" But Rudra couldn't, he stood up, breaking Mrs. Kapadia's jargon about Python.
"What is it,Mr. Roy?"
"Mam, Maya's arm is bleeding!" He said without thinking, making everyone look at them.Mrs. Kapadia's eye brows went into her hairline.
"Excuse me?" She stepped down from the podium and walked to Maya, while the whole class started buzzing.
"Are you ok,Ms. Jaisingh?"
"Yes mam, it's just a scratch."
"Very well,you and Mr. Roy should go to the medical room and get the wound bandaged,” she waved, as if it was her final word. Maya threw a glare at Rudra and stormed out. Rudra picked their bags and followed her out.
____________
"Why would you do that?" Maya almost shrieked to the empty corridor.
"Excuse me,mam, I scared of blood, so when I see blood, I panic, what did you expect me to do?"
"Oh, I don't know, faint maybe!" She said as she walked towards the exit of the department.
"Oh hello! You need to get your wound treated,"
"I'll do it myself!"
But Rudra had got over his shock of seeing blood and pulled her other arm and forced her into a small room that they called the medical room. It was only there because some huge ass doctor had funded one for each department, only to see his name written in gold on the door. As usual, the nurse was out somewhere, probably in the canteen, gobbling down snacks.
“Look, you are scared of blood, I’ll do the first aid in my hostel room,”
But something Rudra told him not to trust her. He shook her head and picked the first aid box that was lying on the table and pointed to the chair.
Maya looked at him nervously.
Shit! He would see his scars and wounds. But she had come to understand Rudra in the last few weeks, and she could see the determination in his eyes, determination to fight his fear of blood.
She slowly folded her sleeve to reveal a bloody bandage and an arm that had scars, old and new. Rudra gasped, but Maya wasn’t sure whether it was because of the sight of blood or because of the number of scars that looked like paintings on her skin.
Rudra breathed heavily as he did her first aid, and Maya could literally hear his head running. It took a lot of time to change the bandage, but when he was done,Maya ran out of there to her hostel room, her closed heaven, where she could do whatever she pleased, with her body.
____________
Rudra felt life slowly being sucked out of him. Was it as if there was someone preparing him for this situation earlier when he was talking to Ananya? He knew those weren’t just mere injuries, the cuts were too deep to be passed off as scratches, and they were way too many to count.
____________
Maya closed the door and flung her T-shirt on the bed. She touched the scars on her stomach and arms. Each time her finger ran over them, she felt alive again, but today,Rudra’s haunted face flashed in her head. She curled into the bed and cried.
She loved Rudra,she knew it. She was aware of her feelings like no one else, and she knew it was beyond infatuation, and now, he would hate her, be scared of her. What if he never spoke to her? She wished she could scrub every scar off her body, they seemed to scare her now.
Shit! When did she fall for Rudra so much that she started hating her own addiction?
____________
Rudra searched his room for the packet. It had been weeks since he had thought of it. He drove through Mumbai to a small temple that he would visit whenever he missed Antara. He greeted the priest and went in its garden and dug up a small hole and buried the drug packet.
If he was to confront Maya and his feelings for her, he was to confront his own fears first.
Amazing as always!!! 😊
