Destiny's Exchange Offer (COMPLETED)

Chapter 46

PRAKRUTHI
✨

He has gone through so much already. Not once did I ever have a glimpse of his this side. My hatred for Isabella was long gone and honestly I only felt disgust for her but gradually as he continued I started pitying her. She lost a gem.

But what intrigued me was when he said it was just the beginning. He has already gone through so much. What worse did he go through and what was that Bulimia thing? I was still conversing to myself when he continued...

'You know what is the problem with humans Prakruthi? We think by ignoring our problems, distancing ourselves from them...we think that the problem is resolved. But in reality it actually gets worse.

You know it's just like when you have hurt yourself and you have a deep cut you avoid going to doctor thinking it will get better in sometime rather it gets worse and turns into a wound gradually soaring bad blood and pus.

Even I thought my mind would feel better if I distanced myself from those toxic people but heyyy how can you avoid the world when you live in it. I didn't have my classmates asking me about my weight and looks but gradually I noticed everyone surrounding me was only interested in my looks, my height or my weight.

Ohhhh poor Kedar has got so many pimples. Why don't you take him to this new dermatologist in town.

Kedar seems to have gained a few more pounds!!!

I guess their son doesn't fit in the sports car, the reason why they gifted him an SUV

How will you find him a bride. He is so tall Sharadha. I don't think you'll find an Indian bride for him.

Huhhhh!!! My ears would bleed but their mouths would never stop. I never understood what made them so curious about my boring life. I never asked them about their choices or their life. Heck I don't even know you personally. Why do you judge me???' he shouted at once and I almost flinched.

I saw him breath harder. I slowly kept a hand on his shoulder whispering
'Heyyyyy you ok baby!!!' and he slowly looked at me and smiled. He held my hand in his and slowly pulled me closer. I was on the floor sitting next to me but his one hand gestured towards my waist engulfing me and I let it be. Slowly he carried me and in no time I landed upon his lap. He slowly leaned towards the wall and adjusted me on his lap. I could hear him still breath harder so I slowly drew circles on the back of his palm which he was already holding. He let out a relaxed breath and continued.

'Bella didn't call back. She didn't care much probably. In a few days she had posted pictures of hers and Richard's on social media and I was completely shattered. My parents and Neil were worried for me. Venkat was my only friend who stood by thick and thin. But he was dealing with his own personal problems with a strained relationship with Laxmi so I couldn't burden him more with my personal mess. I tried to keep things to myself. I decided to get things on track.

I decided to loose weight.

I began rigorously exercising, went on a strict diet. My goal was to get back in shape before I attend my final year of
university. I wanted to show it to the world that I was not a fatso!!! At that point of time I was so desperate to loose weight that I even thought of undergoing a knife. I wanted to even consider liposuction although doctors said it was risky in my case. But I was desperate..' he confessed and I was shocked. I held his hand tightly when he smiled and kissed the back of my palm and continued

'But my family loved me too much to let me do something of that sort. Instead Neil encouraged me to start exercising. Venkat, Neil and I would regularly hit the gym. I was put on a healthy diet and I gradually started loosing weight.
