Her hands rubbed over the strap of
the bag which passed over her shoulders to the side of her hip. She hugged her
petite frame delicately after some time for the warmth from the chills of the
rain. Her body was becoming numb due to the freezing temperature. She was
standing in a place which was like a dark shadow of night where she was waiting
impatiently for someone. It has been an hour or more, her slender legs begin to
ache with pain. She took her phone out from the front porch of her bag and
dialled a number. The person on the other side lifted the call and replied,
"2 minutes", and hanged up before conversing the other possible
things. Her megasleeved top was another backdrop. She shivered involuntarily as
the cold wind gently passed by her. She cursed herself and also him for getting
her into the situation she was in, if only she would have called him up a bit
earlier than just reminding him a while ago, the things would have far more
better and would have been sorted out. She had the very least idea that he
would forget to pick her up at the time mentioned. She tightened the grip on
self and leaned back onto the tree . A car drove on the way after a gap of
silence and stopped at her pace. She opened the door and hopped in with
anguish. Rey greeted her with a cheesy, sorry smile and quickly offered a
jacket which was on the back seat. She rejected it and decreased the AC
cooling. She maintained her calmness and gazed out the window avoiding his
glances on her and also his ways to talk to her.
They very soon reached a
hollow mansion, she got down and went in. Rey parked the car and accompanied
her. "Sorry baby", he whispered circling his arms around her slim
waist. "You need not be Rey", she said but it wasn't an easy one and
he understood it well. He had to play it safe since he also had a big part of
the mistiming. "Now, if you remove your hands then I will have a good
sleep", she said shoving his hands off her plainly. "Kriya, Im really
sorry...I was just a bit tired and slept off as soon as I reached home...Im
really sorry", he mumbled in an audible tone. "Good Night Rey",
was the only thing she replied. "Stop making the matter worse Kriya, I
would have done the same you are doing now when you made me wait outside your
college", he probed. She jerked up with his behaviour, the fault on his
side and he was blaming her. "Just because you waited for some time thats
why u did that to me...isn't it??", she admonished. He sighed in
frustration. "You always do this...I don't mean it but if you think so I
can't help it", he squealed. "It was your fault Rey better admit it
and stop blaming me ofcourse..you would have informed me before hand..I would
have come home without disturbing ur sleep", she mocked. "Ok...its my
mistake...I take everything in my account", he shouted back going into the
another room. He slammed the door fiercely and retorted to his bed. "You
have changed Rey", Kriya yelled throwing a pillow which hitted on the door
instead of him.
She retreated the door
angrily sitting on a cosy couch hugging the pillow, she was angry and at the same time she felt
low. She leaned on the pillow and closed her eyes. She heard the door crack
open but she stayed still without a move. "Kriya", a voice soothed
near her ear beside her while a cold palm touched her shoulder on the other
side. "Sorry", he whispered. "Kriya...Im really worry...I was a
bit tired and dozed off...I was late by the time I got up and couldnt pick you
early", he continued saying waiting for her response. She straightened
herself slowly looking at him and lied down her head on his shoulder with a
faint smile. "I have something else for you", he said after a brief
moments of closeness to look at her excited eyes. He shoved his hand into the
pocket and held out two cards for her. "Wow Rey..", Kriya shouted.
"Yes!!", Rey said equally thrilled. "But Rey..", Kriya
trances noticing the passes very carefully. "I have a farewell party
tommorow evening in the college right", she sounded disappointedly. He
closed his eyes taking in the frustration and the mistake he committed yet
again. It was their another attempt to go to "Doha also called as the
entertainment city" which never happened due to the clash of their timings
with their schedule. "Its ok Rey...I will not attend the party",
Kriya probed after making up her mind. "No...we will plan again", he
said calmly followed by a chuckle which was joined by her soon too. "And
do you have your office tommorow??", Kriya asked stepping out of the bed
to get hold of her phone. "Ya", he replied. "Then can I go over
to Lisa's house??", she questioned smiling at her bestie's message which
flashed on the screen. "No", was all she heard from him. She frowned
at his little reply. "Come on Rey...Imnt a kid I can handle myself and
what is your problem with Lisa...we studied together but I didnt go to her
house even once", Kriya admonished. "Kriya you know I dont like her
or her family", Rey replied hesitatingly. "Rey, you know something
Lisa's parents are on a tour so I can go right", Kriya said settling to his
side. Rey nodded in negotiation. "Rey please..", she hissed pleading
him for the one single go permission. "Please...", she repeated
calmly. "OK...", he said which automatically curved a smile on her
face, "But...even I will come with you", he ended. She groaned in
frustration knowing she cudnt win over the situation. "Im off", she
said aloud bumping into her bed for a blissful sleep after her tiry exams.
"Good Night", he mumbled softly and hurted for disappointing her
wills. He had to do it and was left with no other choice. He waited back until
she dozed off peacefully. He kissed her on the forehead and murmured, "I
dont want you to get hurted again Kriya". His eyes felt a bit teary as the
incidents rolled over before his eyes. He was feeling a bit edgy, he stayed by
her on the knees to the night.
***Flashback***
It was rarely two
weeks since they got to know about Smriti's death. Kriya pursued back her
studies as usual with the support of Rey. Swayam helped her to cover the missed
out syllabus. She slowly started adjusting to the new changes in her life, she
swallowed the deep heartened sorrorows and began to concentrate in her studies,
though she would constantly feel the loss of her mother, she would weep silently
after Rey slept but never shared it with him like any timid girl. This became
her usual routine. She would go to the college on daily basis and return to
home in the evening with Rey and then her college work for some time and then
the left off time they spend together and sleep. She loved the way Rey managed
to stand by her always.
That day was a
similar day. She came to college, though the classes were boring it passed
really soon since she would make herself busy writing her incomplete notes
without listening to the class. The day swept fast and there was only a class
left for the day. She had chemistry lab. Kriya took her usual place in the last
row on the left and the corner place. They had to read the experiments and had to
perform them on the next day, she replaced her time for writing. The second
last bell rang loud and everyone started leaving the room. Kriya had only one
last sentence to be written, she wrote it in a haste and was pushing the books
down her bag when she heard a girl whimper around. To her suspicion, there was
none in the room except her but the sound was echoing in the room she was in.
Kriya alerted due to the noise and did follow the direction which lead to
another corner. A girl was sitting hugging her knees to the chest and her head
rested on her arms. She couldn't see her face, she moved forward slightly and
went down on her knees to match the height of the girl. She felt a familiar
connection to her and her heart crinched a bit to see her all alone and
wailing. She placed her hand on the girl's shoulder and patted gently. The girl
remained still without a slight movement. She continued it often calling by
someway or the other and the last bell rang at the second. Kriya shouted to her
alous saying her to move on and the rooms will be locked. That was when the
girl flinched a little and moved her head slowly to face her. Kriya felt a
suddenblow and jerked back unable to believe her eyes. She was flabberghasted to see her, to see
Smriti or the person who looked like Smriti infront of her eyes. All the past
memoties swirled in her head as she retraced backward on the floor to go away
from her. Smriti's eyes werent like she expected, there were dry and pale, a
crooked smile was plastered on her face. "Kriya, will you leave me??", Smriti
asked in a disappointed tone as her structured straightened and stood huge
before her. Smriti asked the question again and again proceeding her steps
towards Kriya. Kriya was numb to react for a while, when she came to know the
situation, she quickly reacted and got up back on her foot and tried to run
away but was very soon holded and was pinned
to the wall in a harsh way such that her head hit the wall and she
winced highly in pain. While she was aching and shouting in pain, she heard
footsteps leading to the room, she tried retorting but a palm pressed on her
lips and her left hand which stammered on the wall was held to her back roughly
with a twist. All her efforts to loosen the grip were in vain since Smriti possessed
a high power on holding her. She heard the door being closed by the watchman,
Smriti managed the situation until the whole doorway was filled with complete
silence. Smriti moved her hand to her hair and caressed them smoothly saying in
a mocked tone, "Kriya, you know I love you so much then why will I hurt you". A
tear drop rolled down her cheek by the fake affection, only she knows how much
she was starving and wanted the love and the words to be real feelings. "Don't
cry, I wont harm you as long as you listen to me", Smriti said rubbing the
thumb over her cheek. Kriya's head was spinning giving her a hell lot of pain
like never before, there was something wrong, she touched her head on the back,
it was wet and bleeding as she held her hand in her sight. Smriti's eyes
twinkled on watching the blood drip down her fingers and palm. Smriti hold her
palm and licked the blood hungrily tasting it like a meal after many days of
fast. Kriya felt the sensation to puke right on the spot. That was the worst
thing, she could have ever witnessed. After sucking the blood off her palm,
Smriti's eyes gleamed with sudden anger and hatred. "Kriya, will you do a help
for me??", she questioned with her eyes fuming yet red. Kriya nodded her head
in negotiation but very soon accepted scared to death. Smriti took a knife from
nowhere and kept in Kriya's hand which trembled to hold securely but her
thoughts were of something else. "What did her mother want her to do with this
knife??", was the only question echoing in her mind glaring at the sharp
pointed knife. "Cut your forefinger", Smriti scowled hungrily. "No", Kriya
yelled taken aback by the demand. She felt a spat on her face. It was later she
realised her mom slapped her so heard. She revolted against the harsh
treatment, she fought back with all her strength and ended with the strange
cuts all over her arms and then a pang of pain when she felt a pinlike
substance go through her finger. She was bited deeply, the room rang with her
outburst. She gradually lost the senses but was soon met with a relief when she
heard Rey calling by her name in the corridor. She called him back but was
blocked badly. Kriya stamped her foot hard and ran for her dear life, she
collapsed on the floor onto her stomach when her right coff*spelled*(calf
muscles) muscle felt a strong pain, a knife was thrusted down it making the
contact with the muscle. She heard a cruel laughter at the second. "Die very
soon", a voice rumbled behind her for which she didn't respond, her tears
welled up due to the pain which she never experienced before. "Mom", was the
last word that escaped as a sob from her lips. Her eyes faded the view as the
blood streamed along their legs watching the face of her precious mother.
****
Rey was waiting
outside near the parking zone for Kriya leaning onto his back. To his despair,
everyone from her class walked out including Swayam and Vicky but there was no
clue of her. He stopped Swayam passing by the same way and enquired about Kriya
to which he responded saying, "She was with us in the class but why didn't she
come yet??". Rey looked confused and the next thing which striked him was she
was alone. Rey was going to search for her when he heard Swayam tell, "Our last
class was in chemistry lab". He made the direct way to the room examining all
the classes along the corridor. The lab was closed and there was no sign of
people around. He walked over around trailing for a second time. When he didn't
find her, he called her out by the name. There was no response but yes he heard
a very faint sound as an answer. He called her again many times but he got no
answer. He examined all the rooms and came to chemistry lab. He had a strong
suspicion on the spot, he went to the guard and brought the keys . There was a
bunch of them and he had to try on all, his assumption became true when he
heard a mixture of noises. He quickened the process and unlocked the room while
the lock slammed against the door making heavy sounds.
****
Kriya heard the
rustling of the lock on the door. "You will die very soon", Smriti's voice
whispered into her ear before hurting her once again. She glanced as Smriti
vanished through the window before her eyes. She looked at her condition, her
wrist was somewhat broken, her leg was injured
and her face was covered with mud lightly which accidentally cupped her
face when she unexpectedly fell onto the ground. She balanced her body back
with a hand and was above to stand but her legs gave up and she was bumping
back to the ground again when a pair of hands securely holded her in mid air.
She expected an another stroke of pain pass through her and closed her eyes but
she was safe and could feel it when her body slowly landed onto the ground with
the righteous support making her body in a sitting position by leaning onto the
rack. It was Rey, it was him who held her and supported her while she did only
one thing- she smiled. SMILE and a reason which she doesn't know herself. It
felt to be too good in his arms resting, but his worried face made her aware of
the state but deep within she was happy and somewhere in her there were
expectations which were satisfied ' she expected him to save her and he did.
She knew he would come and he did. "Kriya, you are hurted...how did this
happen?? Who did this to you??", he yelled loud but she was too restless to
respond. He continuously chanted some or the other words. She noticed his
expressions as it change from tensed to worried and finally his eyes were cold
and ready to steel the skin of the attacker. He rubbed his palm over her cheek
shoving the mud on her skin. "Kriya, you are bleeding profusely... wait here I
will get the medical kit", he exclaimed and got up but she stopped him holding
over his wrist to say her hand was just in contact but it didn't held a grip.
"Take me with you", was all she could say, she knew her mom would attack her as
soon as Rey leaves. She wasn't in a state to undergo any cruel acts. He looked
at her condition, it was like she was completely drenched in bloodmarks, he
hesitated to pick her up not wanting to hurt her in the process but before he
made a move, she forwarded her hand to him and he lifted her completely making
sure it wasn't touching her injured leg and the finger. She circled one arm
around his neck and looked into his eyes for the last time and rested against
his chest.
****
"Rey, it is hurting",
she winced in pain when he caressed the wound with a piece of strained
antiseptic cotton. He tightened the grip on her hand and safely applied the
cream over her bitten mark which was clotted. "Cant you come with Swayam??", he
scolded her for the enth time. She looked him in a simple way and shut her
mouth from yelling anymore. He reminicised the marks and scratches left over.
She was undergoing the physical agony along with emotional trauma. If it
wouldn't have been an attack from her mom, then the things would be really
normal but it was her mom which was the main. She sobbed over the pain saying
she wanted her mom. He was bearing all her mood swings since the evening. He
requested to change over into shorts for looking over at her injured leg and
she did as said when he left the room. When he came back, he addressed the deep
bruise on her lower part of the leg while she controlled her pain. He made her
have the medicines and tablets whatever where prescribed by Vish after informed
after feeding the meal. She was just like a baby, she cried for her mom and
didn't personally feel the pain of the hurts. She was cared, payed the complete
attention and was brooded like a baby in his presence without exposing the
outside world.
****
It was the dark
shallow night, silence atmosphere prevailed within. She was cuddling in his
arms on the bed but she wasn't sleeping. She was thinking of the same things
since a week. "Rey, my mom...", she probed which was the next expected lines
from her after her awaiting silence. "I told you Kriya, she is not your mom
anymore, she might have turned into a vampire or maybe even worse", he
interruptedn tried to explain in a way
that might go into her brain. He was feeling a bit gloomy to see her thinking
of the attack again and again, crying not because of pain but because of her
mom. She would often demand saying she wanted to see her once more. "To say the
fact she is not your mom too Kriya, she just seems to be by the appearance, if
still you love that vampire then tell me I would make u meet up", he
admonished. "I hate Vampires...", she told in a rather dizzy mood which was
pentrated an affect in him . "But I love my mom Rey...I want to see her", she
told drifting to her long slumber of sleep making him another restless night.
She loved him but when she remarked she hated vampires, it felt like a stab
though he told her he was one. He kept all his thoughts on a frame and then
concluded a decision which he thought was the correct one for both.
****
The sun rays peeked
through the window disturbing her sleep, she stretched her arms wide for relief
and wiped her eyes. She turned to her left and then to her right. Rey was
missing , she quickly got off from her bed to check if he was in washroom but
the washroom was free too. She felt some presence in the balcony, she freshened
up and walked to the balcony and to her amusement, she found Swayam relaxing on
the pluffy couch. Usually it was his college time but today he was here for a
particular reason she doesn't know. "Hey Kriya", Swayam mouthed finding her
lost in self thoughts. "Hey", Kriya fumbled the words confused in his presence.
Before there was an another stroll of confusion pass by her, he told, "Rey has
gone out and would be back in an hour". She mumbled an Okay and accompanied his
time for some gap until Rey came. Swayam shook his hand with Rey for an unknown
reason n left them free with a smile and a sad look mixed on his emoting face.
The following moves were as translucent as before, he just glared at her
differently and started messing up the clothes into a plumpy suitcase from the
cupboard.
She let out a
frustrated sigh before tapping him with a force to get some answers. "Rey, why
are you doing all this??", she questioned. "We are leaving", he replied making
her dumbstruck. "What???Where???How??? What do u mean by that Rey?? Where are
we leaving?? And why should we leave??", she asked in a stern tone. "You will
get to know soon...pack all your clothes and belongings", he answered
back. "Rey..", she complained but got a dissatisfied response. She stood right
infront of him and helded his shirt from a distance. He looked at her, looked
into her eyes, he knew she wanted a reasonable answer but he wasn't in a mood
to give all her queries for now. "I was asking you something", she whispered in
an audible voice. He looked at her intently and his hand moved on her back and
pulled her to him in a second, she had to keep her other hand on his shoulder
for a balance. "You will get to know everything soon...believe me and come
along", he spoke out seducing her senses. "But Rey...", she interrupted. He
kept his forefinger on her lips before she could utter any more. She trembled
at his touch and was crushed more into him. "If you trust me then come and if
you don't then its upto you...flight is at 10 pm", he notified her glancing
at her wide eyes. She looked at him in disbelief and she was in a complete
shock or to say it was something out of box and unexpected or predictable. She
had to think, had to understand what was really happening over a night. Her
hand moved down off his shoulder as she thought of his words again, she broke
the eyelock and looked down, her body was set free from his grip after a short
span of time. "Its completely your decision Kriya", she heard him say before
straiting out.
****
"Passengers are requested to put on their seat belts and
the flight begins to take on in 2 mins"
"I will do that", he
whispered to her to take on the control over the belt passing against her body.
"I can manage", replied Kriya angrily. He left her with no choice and put on
the seat belt properly when he felt her in a no protest mode.She folded her
hands onto the chest and looked away later trying to avoid the glances of him
which she was doing since the afternoon. The silence spoke volumes, they didn't
utter a word though they were seating beside, never made an attempt to brush
over the feelings again. They let themselves stay in a relaxing way, she rested
her head onto the seat and dozed off into a deep slumber.
"Good
Morning", a husky voice mumbled as she rubbed her sleepy eyes. "G M", she
replied back lost in her own world. When she opened her eyes, all she could see
was a dark fountain out the window and then when she tried moving her head hit
over his chin. She was lying down on his shoulder till then. "Didn't u
sleep??", she enquired adjusting her back to the seat. "I didn't feel sleepy",
he said. Atlast, this day felt better than the previous one. She couldn't
pretend that fake anger anymore especially when she knows he might have did all
of a sudden only for her. She gave a small smile after they landed into the
airport of another country far away from the birthplace. The taxi they hired
from the location to the new residence was at a very less miles away so they
reached soon.
It looked a bit like
her home but this was smaller than hers.A gate was at the entrance to the house
and all the way was greeny, it was kept with plants of fruits and flowers,
mostly ruled by the blossoming smell of flowers. A natural and pleasant odour filled
the house. Kriya liked it, them and all over the new house. She felt each and
everything passing around and on the side there was a parked car which was open
from the top. That was also another attention seeker. The guard of the house
walked too along with him and handed the keys over to Rey and left to take his
own place near the gate.
There was a king size bed in the
hall and a TV set arranged opposite to it and more front there was a locked
room. Kriya fumbled with all the keys on the set and unlocked it finally. It was
her room. A bed was between and a big mirror was adjusted on the side wall with
all the necessary accessories. They were beautiful and she loved it.
****
Kriya joined an
institute and continued her studies. Lisa was her best friend and the only
person of her class who was by her side in all the ups and downs. Rey n Kriya
lived in the same house while Rey planned on a business with his friends out
there. He would drop her in the morning and go to his office, pick her up in
the evening, spend their time together. It was their usual routine. At times of
fights, they would remain untalked at times but soon cleared out the mess
.
****
***FlashBack Ended***
( Above Story continued after a leap of 2
years )
"Rey,
Im ready...Shall we go??", Kriya asked excitedly. "Umm...call your friend
and inform her now...then we will go", Rey said resting back on the bed. She
gave him some death glares, she waited for her day to come. As told, she
dialled on Lisa's number and sat beside Rey glancing into the eyes. It was
ringing and at the same time he placed his hand on her shoulder, she didn't
pay much attention. He rubbed down her
bare arm sending her shivers down the spine and clutched her waist tightly. She
looked at him when she felt the jerk down there. "Hello", the person on the
side spoke. She directed Rey that she wanted to talk. "Hello Lisa", she spoke
back. "Hey, r u coming or not??", Lisa questioned in an angry tone. "Im
coming...u r in home ryt??", Kriya asked. "Yeah babes...come soon", Lisa
replied. "Tell here Im coming too...Tell her", Rey continuously hoarsed.
"Ok..Ok", Kriya stammered. "Lisa, Rey is coming too alongwith me...is it ok??",
Kriya mumbled normally. "Rey??", Lisa stressed. "Yes...any problem??", Kriya
murmured confused and when she looked at Rey, his eyes clearly depicted it was
all known. "Kriya I will call you back after some time...bye", Lisa stated
before ending the call. "Ok...bye", Kriya cleared looking at Rey who now had a
wide aching grin on his face. "Rey, you know this before", Kriya stared at him
in avertion. "She is so predictable", Rey commented. Kriya could do only one
thing and that was to smile. It was ridiculous at the moment to smile but she
was left with no option and she loved it when Rey knows everything before.
She
bit the corner of her lips to stop herself from smiling silly. It was the right moment to kiss
her . He cupped her face and brushed his lips over hers taking them into a deep
kiss. Her lips were trembling when his cold ones met her. He pulled her up
against his body and leaned her onto the bed. He intensified the kiss making
her breathless, he nibbled her lip making her whimper in shorts. He explained
all the unspoken words through his determined actions. He entwined his fingers
with her hand and deepened the kiss until she started retorting back. He pulled
back only to meet up with her desiring eyes. She held his palm strongly and the
other was on his collar charging him. He moved his hand down her bare arm
measuring the depth of feelings in her eyes. He rested it on the hem of her top
at her hip and trailed it up by the arm again saying, "Kriya, I think you will
lose your bet on the last day for sure". She eyed at him as if he had been rude
to her, she didn't possess any way of actions but soon took a chance and
marched on him knocking him back to the bed. "Maybe you will lose it", she said
brushing his fingers into his hair for taking his lips into his.
***Doorbell***
"What
the F**K??!!", Rey groaned at someone in particular who had been the lord of
disturbance in their private time. She hit him playfully on the cheek and moved back directing him to go and open the
door. He came up with the ideas of pretending no one was in the house and they wouldn't
open the door but Kriya adviced him to do, so he glared her for a second and
swept towards the door and opened it. He let out a frustrated sigh.
****
