The Replacement

CH-67

SHIPRA POV

I stood just at the door, my back is still towards his chamber and I am standing NAKED.

Tears never leave me. My heart is paining as if someone has cut my organ. I never thought you could feel pain without any injury.

I again padded to my washroom and closed the door and stood in the shower.

Coldwater is chilling my body in the winter of Rajasthan but I care less because this cold is far better than what I am feeling right now in my heart.

I just stood there looking down holding the wall. Water was drooping on my head going downwards.

He is giving me punishment for a crime I never did.

Turning off the shower I padded back to my closet and wore the first thing that came in my hand.

I again padded to my study table and opened my laptop.

Done' I sent my resignation.

When he doesn't want to see me in the house, how will he like my presence in the office? I don't want to hurt him more than he already is.

This is the big misunderstanding we are having in between and sadly he does not want to clear it either.

My body is numb, just numb.

I can't feel anything cold, hot, pain, happiness, anything. I am just numb.

I went to my bed and lay on my back looking at the ceiling. The fan is making some noise. Chu chu... I could hear the droplet from the bathroom tip tip.. Cold wind is coming from the window.

I saw someone running here and there closing the window. Please don't close it. I am liking it. I want to say it out loud but I can't form any words.

Someone is asking me something.. Who is she? I know her? I have seen her somewhere but where? I can't register anything.

She touched me on my shoulder but I was just looking at her. Trying to read her lips R.A.N.I S.A... Rani Sa...

Who is rani sa?

Am I not Shipra?

Who is she calling then?

I guess people are mad...

I want to sleep. I don't want to answer her anything so I close my eyes to go to my slumber.

Next, when I woke up I saw birds were chirping early in the morning and the beautiful sun was rising. Getting up I went out on the balcony and stood at the edge of the balcony. It's windy today and chilling too.

I fold my hand towards my chest to warm myself a little. And look ahead to a beautiful pinkish-orange sky.

Birds are flying from one direction to another. I looked down and saw a few peacocks walking in the garden.

Mornings always make my day beautiful.

Turning around I started to walk to my chamber but then looked to my left, Shivay's chamber.

Yesterday's events came in front of me, how he humiliated me without any reason. He has broken me till no repair.

I will clear all the misunderstandings one day but I will never forgive him for this.

I padded back to my chamber and got ready for the day.

I finished my daily routine of checking the preparation of breakfast and came back to my room.
