Gupta Villa...
The silence caressed her skin like a cool breeze, smothering her soul and removing her jagged edges. It had been more than three weeks. She knew being tensed against the shaking of her limbs was useless, but she did it instinctively, trying to suppress for a few more moments what she knew she couldn't shake off. She needed to drink in the silence to counteract the fear threatening her, engulfing her every second. Time healed her physical wounds, but the wounds of her soul were wide open.
Baba, Amma, Adi, Payal, and Buaji all helped her be on her feet and strongly admonished her ways. They were still there every second, but this silence had her in; she was alone. Her heart was with someone else.
Why did she still feel him right beside her?
Why was he breathing with every breath of her?
Why???
Khushi held tight to the railing while coming down, and her knuckles were white. Dressed in a white shalwar suit, she was kneeling towards Payal for some support. It's been over three weeks, but her mind didn't move an inch of the pain she held that night. Arnav's face with darting eyes never left her for a second. How could he easily push her like she was nothing to him?
She drank insight over the living room before her through her squinting eyes. The decorations and lights reflected through the fish tank beside the stairs. It was her birthday, and Mr.Gupta arranged everything the same way as day one when she became part of this family. She wanted to forget everything, but she knew better than what her Baba had taught her all these years.
Tears rolled down on their own, seeing everyone's eyes on her. A layer of saltiness hugged her cracked lips holding some tears there. She gasped, being frozen in one place, and refused to move when Mr.Gupta walked up to her. With every step of his climbing upstairs, her eyes shed more tears till he held her in his embrace like always.
