Chapter 8

"Did you see their faces?" Came a voice.

"No i didnt. They were covering their faces with black masks". Was her reply.

"What about the place do you know where the place is?" He questioned her again.

Yes she had seen the roads but she couldnt tell exactly where it was. It was so deserted and middle of nowhere.

"Umm.. to remember clearly it was an abandoned building in the middle of nowhere". She told him. She knew she didnt had to tell them as nikhil had already told them the exact address

And that was the last question for her. he motioned her to leave and she came of the room, her friends all sitting there scared and shaken.

It was finally time to go. They checked their car it didnt have a numberplate or a blackbox.
The cops said that they will drop them at home.

The front door was barged open and in came the family of her friends. They were all crying and hugging eachother. And then she noticed how no one came for her, to hug her, and console her, her mom was laying in the bed unknown that her daughter had been kidnapp. Lonliess came crashing to her. She felt homesick more.

Tears started filling in her eyes threatening to fall. She blinked trying to blink the tears.

A hand on her shoulder made her look back. It was Nikhil's mother. She turned around to face  her but was shocked when nikhil's mother hugged her tight. She started crying on her shoulder. Chitra didnt know what to do.

"Where were you kids? Did you know how scared i was?" Nikhil's mom said.

Chitra felt shocked at first. This was first time in long someone hugged her.

"You are my child too. I cant bear anything happening to you". She cried on her shoulder.

Chitra felt like crying. The tears that were gone were filling up her eyes again. This is the first time in long someone said that she is their family and Nikhil's mother seeing her as a family and calling her family was overwhelming. A hug from a motherly figure was all that she needed she started crying too hugging her more tighly making the women startled and she let her cry. Patting her shoulders she said nothing and stayed silent she knew that chitra needed this hug more that anyone else. She is a kid who needs attention and love.

After a while chitra stopped crying. Her eyes and nose red and hairs splattered.

"Lets go home child". She said and chitra nodded. They sat in the car. And Nikhil's father started the car. The ride was silent and no one said anything.

After a few minutes they reached the apartment and chitra ran off. Climbing the stairs skipped two at once and opened the door of the apartment hastily. Her mother laid still, same as she remember when she was going to tution. Her breathing low and eyes closed.

She walked up to her and fall on her knees taking her hand in hers she staryed crying again all the pain and the hardships came in her mind she staryed crying loudly.

She wanted her mother to hug her so bad. She wanted her mother to hug her and console her, and ask her whats wrong and if she's ok.

After a few minutes of crying and heard a small cough from behind. From the side of her eyes she saw nikhil and she quickly wiped her tears. And turned around to face him.

He was standing in the doorway leaning on the door. his hand folded on his chest, eyeing her. From his looks she knew that he saw everthing. He saw her crying.

Few moments passed by him looking at her and she looking at everywhere but him.

He came inside her house his hands how hunged on his sides. "Are you hurt anywhere?' He asked her eyes shot up to his.
