My Stubborn Love.

Chapter 33

Roshni's POV

I told him about my feelings and he dismissed them as a mere attraction.

How could he do that??

He doesn't even know about his relationship with his girlfriend. How can he know about my feelings??

I looked around for my sketchbook and the pictures of my parents but could not find them.

Oh, I must have forgotten them in the kitchen when I prepared milk and hot chocolate.

They must be in the kitchen or dining table, must go and get them. I rushed downstairs and saw them lying on the dining table. I picked them up and started going upstairs but was feeling very sad so I sat down on the couch where he was sitting earlier with him. I was feeling good that he was teaching me.

I already knew that chapter by heart but I wanted him to sit by me and talk to me but he said that he was missing his girlfriend and went away.

I felt bad that he preferred her over me. But of course, she was already in his life when he met me. But he was all I had.

My tears were still flowing again. I opened my sketchbook and started making some designs with tears still flowing from my eyes.

Manik's POV

I went to my room with a heavy heart. The guilt of hurting her was killing me. I switched off all lights and tried to sleep. But everything she said was haunting me.

I need to talk to Chachi, I will tell her to come here and make her understand that all this is not possible.

The clock struck Eleven and I could not disturb her right now. So tried sleeping again but how could I sleep, when Roshni was so hurt, because of me?

I thought of watching a movie but the sounds would have disturbed her if I watched the movie in my room.

So thought of going to the home theatre as that room was soundproof. I got up and went downstairs. 

The lights were on in the informal sitting area which was unusual. So I went to switch off it and was shocked to see Roshni there. She was sleeping on the couch with a Sketchbook in her hand.

What was she doing here??

Oh, God! Did she sleepwalk here again??

I went closer to her and saw her tear-streaked face and even her Kajal had smeared a bit.

I sat beside her and took the sketchbook from her hand and opened it. A few photographs fell out of it. I kept the sketchbook on the table and picked them up and saw the pictures of a man and woman, they must be her parents as Roshni resembled the woman in the photograph.

I saw that something was written on the back. So, I turned to see it and a line was written there...

' Mom and dad, I miss you. Why did you leave me alone?? I wish they had killed me with you. I have no one to love me.'

A few tear drops stains were there on the photographs.

Killed?? Her parents got killed? Why ?? Who did that??

She has been through much more than I had thought, really felt very bad for her.

So that's why she is so emotional...  But why would someone kill her parents??

I needed to know more about it. Maybe Munim Ji can tell me something about it.

" Roshni?? " I said in a low volume. She already had a sleeping disorder, I didn't want to disturb her.
