Someone is holding me tightly from both sides, and I struggle, desperately wriggling to break free. I shout—wait, no, I’m not shouting. There’s another voice, distant yet urgent, calling out to them.
“Leave her!” I hear it clearly—his voice, unmistakable. It’s Avi. I would recognize him even by his shadow.
“Leave her!” His voice cracks, raw with emotion. I’ve never seen him like this—his face is flushed, red as if he’s been crying for hours. His eyes are wide with fear, terror-stricken, as though he’s about to lose something precious.
Seeing him like this, I struggle harder, fighting against the unyielding grip around me, but no one lets go.
Who are these people? What do they want?
“You have a problem with me, then let her go!” Avi demands, his tone now cold and terrifying.
I look at him with barely open eyes, confusion and panic clouding my mind. What’s happening? Why am I here?
So many questions flood my mind, but all I can hear is his voice, desperately shouting my name, over and over.
“Please, leave her! I beg you!” His voice cracks again, and then—he kneels in front of them.
Why is he kneeling? But before I can process anything, I hear a sickening scream. I watch in horror as he falls to the ground, blood pouring from his body.
“Avi… Aviyaan!” I scream, my voice choked with panic. I struggle violently to free myself from their grip, my body writhing with fear and helplessness.
“Aviyaan! Please, no! Leave me, leave me alone!” I scream, but they don’t listen. My heart is shattering, the pain in my chest unbearable.
“Aviyaan!”
“Aviyaan!”
“Aviyaan!”
Suddenly, my eyes snap open. I sit up in bed, gasping for breath, my heart racing. Tears pour down my face uncontrollably as the echoes of the nightmare haunt me.
“Aviyaan,” my voice came out as a whisper.
What was that? What did I just see? Why did I have to see it? My heart shattered at the thought of him lying there, lifeless, his chest not rising, still and cold. I can’t even begin to imagine him like that.
Please, God, keep him safe. I prayed with every ounce of my being, tears streaming down my face, never stopping, never giving me a moment's peace. I cried for him—cried for the uncertainty, for the fear, for the loss.
I couldn’t take it anymore. The weight of the room, the suffocating atmosphere, I had to get out. I had to breathe.
I pushed myself to my feet, stumbling out of the room, desperate for air. I walked aimlessly towards the garden, my mind lost in a storm of thoughts. Without thinking, I collapsed onto the bench beneath the stars, their distant glow doing little to calm the chaos inside me.
And then, as if the universe had other plans, I felt a presence beside me. I turned to my side, and saw him sitting there, his form a comforting but distant silhouette in the dark. He sat a little further in the bench keeping a respectful space between us.
“Can't sleep?” His voice was soft, low, almost as if the night itself had absorbed his energy.
I nodded, my throat tight. “Yeah.”
“Why?” he asked,
“ had a terrible nightmare,"” I murmured, my voice shaking as I looked down at my hands, not knowing what to say what to do, i am left with my terrible thoughts.
He took a deep breath, “Same,” he whispered, his eyes distant, lost in whatever had been tormenting him. He looked at me,
“What kind of nightmare?” I asked, my curiosity growing, despite the tension in the air.
He swallowed hard, his gaze unwavering from mine. “A nightmare so terrible... so tragic... something I can't even imagine. Something I can’t bear. Something that... that I just can’t handle.” His voice cracked slightly,
A tear slid down my cheek as I fought to keep my composure. I wiped it away quickly, hoping he hadn’t seen. But I wasn’t sure if he had.
he maintained his composure as though he was trying to hide the pain from me.
But I saw it. Maybe he thought I didn’t. Maybe he thought I hadn’t noticed. But I did. I saw him. And in that moment, I knew: we were both broken, both haunted by the same dark thoughts
✧*🪐*♡✧*🪐✧*。
After that conversation, I went straight to my room and fell asleep almost instantly, even though my mind was racing with countless thoughts. Since that day, he and I haven't spoken unless absolutely necessary, and you know what? I think I’m finally starting to feel okay. I don’t feel like crying anymore. What’s done is done, and no one can change it now.
My exams are finally over. I had been buried in books, studying twenty-four-seven, and now that it’s all done, Anaya and I decided to give ourselves a little treat.
We invited Sharanvi too, but for some reason, she’s been MIA for days now. As for Shahmeer, he’s been just as busy, so Anaya and I decided to go ahead and have fun, just the two of us.
I was getting ready in my room when I saw Sharanvi walk in. She stopped in her tracks, her eyes immediately landing on my neck. Her brow furrowed. “Where’s your pendant?” she asked, her voice sharp. I looked down, realizing I had left it in the drawer.
“Why do you ask?” I shot back, a little confused.
“Just asking casually,” she said, but her tone was anything but casual.
“I was about to ask you something,” I began, but before I could finish, she pressed her finger to my lips, shutting me up completely.
“We’ll talk later,” she insisted. “I just want to stay in your room for a while.”
I was taken aback, not sure what was going on, but I nodded, my mind swirling with questions. Why did she want to stay here? What was going on with her?
I watched her closely as she roamed around the room, scanning every inch of it like she was searching for something. “What is going on with you?” I narrowed my eyes, now fully suspicious.
She stood up, walked towards me, and scribbled something down on a tissue paper in the most messy and hideous way possible.
“Aviyaan bhai gave me a work, let me do it and please don’t say anything unnecessary,” I read aloud, my heart racing. That was it. That was the moment. I snapped.
I tossed the tissue aside and stormed out of my room, heading straight for Aviyaan. How dare he use my sister like that? How dare he manipulate her for his own selfish gain? I was furious, and I wasn’t going to let it slide.
