Fragile Hearts❤️[Completed]

Chapter-48

Riya (teary-eyed) Not Dad, Manik. Harshad.

Manik (angrily)- What did that bastard do? And how can these people even do such things? It is so disgusting.

Riya (chuckling sadly)- I wish I could change something, Manik. I wish I had a normal family where people value love over money and status. But nothing can be changed now.

Manik- Kya kiya Harshad ne? You don't have to fear them anymore, okay? Vo log kuch nahi kar sakte ab.

[Manik- What did Harshad do? You don't have to fear them anymore, okay? They can't do anything now.]

Riya (in tears)- Jab mere khud ke parents aisa behave kar rahe the toh baakiyon par bhi uska asar to hota hi. And we all were kids. Harshad saw that Mom and Dad didn't love me, and they even used to ask him to insult me and hurt me in whatever way he could. I was 15 years old. Mom and Dad were out for a party, and I was alone at home. Harshad came home drunk, and with him was his new girlfriend. I was sitting in the hall when he entered and told me not to tell Mom and Dad about this. Vo uss ladki ko lekar apne room mein chala gaya, and after a few minutes, I heard the girl screaming from his room. I got scared thinking about the worst, but when the screams didn't stop, I went to his room. His room's door had glass in it so I could see what was happening inside. Manik...he was forcing himself on that girl, and she was crying in pain. She saw me standing outside and called for help. I removed the vase from the table, smashed the glass on the door, and opened the lock. I used the same vase and injured Harshad by hitting him with the vase on his head. The girl escaped, and it satisfied me that at least I could save her on time. But I didn't know that I had awakened the monster in my brother.

[Riya (in tears)- When my own parents were doing such deceit, it would have affected others as well. And we all were kids. Harshad saw that Mom and Dad didn't love me, and they even used to ask him to insult and hurt me in whatever way he could. I was 15 at that time. Mom and Dad were out for a party, and I was alone at home. Harshad came home drunk, and with him was his new girlfriend. I was sitting in the hall when he entered and told me not to tell Mom and Dad about this. He took the girl to his room, and after a few minutes, I heard the girl screaming from his room.

(Riya cries more, thinking about all that happened, and Manik takes her in a comforting hug.)

Manik- Shhh... It's all over now. And you have been so so strong throughout.
