Ayudh's POV
You never treat a girl like a queen Ayudh.
This was what my father had taught me whole my life. Reason? My mother cheated on my father. My father fell for another woman after her, who yet again.... cheated. I started hating women more than anything. I don't believe in women. I never wanted to! I wanted to believe that girls are different.
My father told me how he was a playboy of the school and then he met Mom and everything changed for him. She was the very constant in his life and he was totally and irrevocably in love with her! But then, she cheated, and ran away from home with my sister, who was probably her lover's daughter. Dad drowned himself in alcohol and gave me the advices!
You never love someone more than yourself!
But I did!
And even if you ever fall, You never show a girl you love her
And I did! I never once showed her!
You never treat her like a queen my boy, never, she will leave you in the last, she will!
And I believed him! despite seeing so many successful relationships around me, I still believed dad's words!
You never let her live in peace, never, be the chaos in her life, so she will never be able to forgive you!
And I was!
But now, every teaching, every revenge everything felt hollow.
"I hope I disappear"
The girl I loved more than life itself, said to me! pushed me, and ran away! I looked at her as she ran, and instead of running after her I slid down the wall behind me as a choked sob left my already parched throat! I refused to believe that she won't see me ever again! I refused to believe that she won't be with me ever again, and I refused to believe that I won't be able to see her again.
Right now I needed to do something more important, punish the people who were guilty to do what went all south in my life!
My dad was not the only reason I had turned so cruel towards my sweetheart, the love of my life, Aaravi! I closed my eyes, as tears fell again. Why can't I be happy for once in my life!
Just what I had done wrong!!!
After my dad died when I was just thirteen, I had tried to find my mom, trying to find the answers I was left with. I still wanted to believe Mom did nothing like that. But she did! And she died in a car accident along with her lover!
I cried for a whole day in front of her grave. After that I came to know that my mother's daughter, Anya, was alive. I forced my grand-parents to adopt her. I took her charge. Even though she was very afraid of me, I tired my best to be a good brother to her. I had many restrictions over her. So she won't be anything like mom, or she won't just leave me and die.
It was obvious dadu and dadi will die way earlier than me! then what will be I left with?
Nothing!
So I adopted Anya and did my best! She had restrictions but so did I. Never once I told her to come back home by eight and was partying away my night. I was with her. And suddenly, I got the news that she had an accident!
Anya was in coma since then. I found out that the culprit was none other than Aaravi's brother! But I was so wrong.
Either way, I was so wrong!
Her brother was not the one who was involved in accident. He was framed. And other thing was Aaravi's parents never told her that her brother was fighting a case. They did not wanted to burden her! And what I did? I just made it harder for her.
In starting I was very angry at her, but soon my anger cooled down. I treated her harshly and only when my eyes opened, I realized, she hates me more than anything! When I came to know the truth that it was not her brother who was the reason but someone else, she did not wanted me anymore
What had I done?
I pulled up on my legs and went to my car. Pulling my gun out I went to the dorm of girls. The warden was not present on my orders and all the girls were locked in their own rooms. I went to Aaravi's room!
Clouds thundered in the otherwise silent atmosphere, and the wind was blowing so fast that all the curtains were flying in all directions! I opened the door of the room suddenly, startling the cause of all the worst things in my life.
Raavi fidgeted her fingers but before she could speak I caught her by her throat!
"You thought you will escape after ruining the life of so many people HUH!" I said to her. She looked scared to her shit! Good!
I let her go and fished my gun out from the back of my pants and pointed it on her. I believed one should not raise their hands on a woman, but she was no woman to me! She was a murderer and the person who ruined my life and the only good thing that could've happened in my life!
"I... I am sorry, I did it for yo.."
"No, no, no forgiveness for you" I pressed my gun on her forehead! "You, you did so much to my people and you think I will let you go!" I pressed some more making her bleed due to pressure! "Now start barking before I load all the bullet in your head!"
And she did.
She told how she was obsessed with me! How she saw I started loving Aaravi and so she plotted the plan to involve my sister in an accident and blamed everything on Aaravi's Brother Aakash who happened to be at the same spot as my sister went through the accident!
"I... I did not knew her accident will be that fatal I swear!" She said. I shook my head. No she will regret this for all of her life!
"You did all of this because you were obsessed with me right!" She cried and nodded scared to her bones. Good!
"Now you will see what I do for the person I am obsessed with!" I told her, she cried again. Police arrived and took her. I talked to uncle about the special treatment she was going to receive --he was the head of the police--.
I walked on the road with my hands in my pocket, looking into the oblivion. I need to talk to Aaru and explain her all of this, I know this will solve nothing between us, but I want to solve it all! I want to explain to her what had happened. I wanted to tell her why I was so rude towards her! It was not like I was all okay whenever I scared her, or said shit things to her. I had cried more than she did on the nights after saying those things.
I knew that the things dad taught me all went over my head when it comes to her. I knew I failed dad in every way. And whatever he taught me meant nothing the moment she came into my life. I need to talk to her, I thought and ran to her dorm back. She must be back by now!
I asked her warden but she said no one had come till now, I ran back to the campus and searched every nook and cranny. I was frightened out of my wits by now! Where was she?
What if she was in some trouble?
I went to the place she usually goes to but she was not even there, I fell on my knees as they gave up because of how scared I was feeling. Tears fell from my eyes as I shouted her name, but all I got back was.... silence. Clouds thundered again as if warning me that something was not going to be right at all! That my life was going to turn even harder with time now!
My phone rang and with heavy hands I pulled it out of my pocket! But as soon as I saw the number glowing on my screen, I picked it up in haste.
"He.. hel.." I panted. But what I got back was soft breathe of Aaravi!
"Aaravi" I whispered and she took a deep breath! "I...I..."
"I heard about Raavi." She said. Her voice lacking the affection and softness she usually held! "And today I also came to know about whatever happened with my brother!"
Shit!
"I.. I will make up to him. I swear Aaru. I will..."
"It's not your fault when all the evidences were pointing at him. And he was not close to you or something that you'll believe him" She said.
"I... I am sorry." I whispered and choked on my own tears, but she said nothing. Why do I feel like something bad was going to happen!
"I wanted to tell you something!" She said! I nodded my head, but realized she can't see me. SO I answered with a stuttering yes!
"I am leaving!" She said. All the breath knocked out of my lungs and my mind went numb. I was not able to give her my best. I was not able to give her even the basics all these years. And finally when I was out of the haze, out of the stupid stupid thing I did, she is leaving!
"W.. what?" I whispered. I just lost my voice!
"I am leaving, I am not forgiving you, but I will try... I know the reason for your unexpected rage towards me, but that just does not justify it all! I hope Anya gets well with time." I burst out crying loudly. I sobbed loudly, but perhaps, they were not loud enough to reach her!
"D.. Don't go" I said. "I will change, I will..." I can't say this... I just can't
"I can't" She said. "I am sorry!" I again failed her! I made her say a sorry to me... to me.
"Goodbye Ayudh" I just continued to cry, when my phone beeped showing the call has ended! I did not even got the chance to say I love her!
"I love you!" I whispered. Why did it has to be me... always!!
"I LOVE YOU" I shouted to... no one, to nothing
I loved her and I lost her!
