Chapter 24: (a)

"Why" he whispered as the reports fell down from his hand..

"Why zara?" he asked again his palms holding my shoulder.. I can't cry I won't cry..

"Apko toh khush hona chahiye (you should be happy?)" I said without any expression on my face..

"Zara this reports and all this is a lie right this is all a lie say na zara" he asked as tears made their way from his eyes.. He sounded so vulnerable so broken

"Don't waste your precious tears on me neev I am just your slave" I whispered my hand rose to wipe his tears..

"Zara" he sat on the bed with thud and started crying while palming his face...

I stood infront of him and hold his hand "stop crying neev you should be happy as I don't have much time" I further said

"You can't leave me like this" he whispered his teary eyes meeting with my cold one

"You don't want me in your life neev and I am fulfilling your wish only" I replied cupping his face.."These tears doesn't suits you neev"I wiped his overflowing tears..

"Zara I am very bad na I did very wrong with you" he asked looking at me with teary eyes..

"No neev you aren't bad ap bure nahi ho I am bad I betrayed you" I replied..

"Zara yeh jhoot hai right (zara this is lie right?)" he asked the same question..

Neev's pov

"No neev it's not a lie you have to understand" she said softly.. I looked at her face her expression was as cold as ice.. there was no traces of tears.. what I did with this innocent girl.. her angelic face was pale she wasn't chirpy like before.

"It's pretty late neev you should sleep" she said and turned to leave..

I hold her hand and stood up " we will go to doctor tomorrow zara everything will be alright"

She smiled and said "it's too late neev"

"Zara don't say like this na please" she smiled and laid down on her side of the bed..

I laid down beside her.. I was the worst boy on the earth.. I did very wrong this innocent girl who loves me selflessly.. she was dying.. she was dying because of me I ruined her.. I ruined her life.. I ruined everything I am a true monster..

I was blind at revenge... once upon a time I had a happy family.. mom dad me and kaira but Rajiv Mittal ruined everything.. he raped my mom infront of my eyes and killed my dad and kidnapped kaira.. now you all were thinking who are shilpa and harsh they are our saviour we called them as mom and dad because they gave us shelter and also treat us as their own child..

I was just 19 old when Rajiv Mittal shot my dad and raped my mom infront of my eyes I was helpless I don't know what to do as they tied my hands and legs.. her cries still echoed in my ears.. the helplessness in her voice... she died as she can't take the torture anymore... they shot my leg and thought that I died..

To be continued…
