Subliminally Claimed.

Chapter-29

Kabir's POV

A second ago, I was upset after hearing the word 'friend' coming from her mouth, but now I realized, I am glad that she thinks of me only as her friend.

Because, I cannot give her love.

The words like 'marriage' and 'love' died the day I saw my mom with some other man behind dad's back.

I can give her all the happiness of the world, I can care for, protect her, be with her if she needs me but I cannot give her love.

And, if someday, she wants to give somebody a second chance, she should give it to someone who loves her.

'Where are you lost?' she asked.

'Nothing. Uh... I will call uncle,' I said and called uncle.

Uncle came and started the car towards her house.

As soon we reached in front of the building we saw that crowd was gathered there.

We got out and a guy ran towards her and then he looks at me.

'What happened, Ravi?' she asked.

Ravi.

Oh.

'In the night when Mehta uncle was coming back from his duty, he saw someone running outside and then he noticed that your house is open.

'What do you mean?' I asked.

'Your house has been robbed, Kavya. We got inside to take a look and saw that they have thrown everything on the floor. Your house has become a mess. We have not touched anything as it didn't seem right.'

'What? No. Sohum,' she said and ran upstairs instead of taking the elevator.

I took the elevator and when I reached on her floor and opened the door, I saw her place had been totally wrecked.

As soon as she came inside, she went inside the room and picked up Sohum's photo frame which was broken into pieces.

'No,' she sat on the floor and started crying loudly.

I looked around to see that everybody has come inside her house and was looking at her.

'Kavya,' Ravi ran towards her.

'Please, don't cry,' he said and put his arms around her shoulders.

I didn't like it and went towards her.

'Kavya, stop crying, It's just a photo frame. You have other pictures of him, right?' I said and pulled her towards me.

'Photo frame, Kabir?' she shouted but I breathed a sigh of relief when she was in my arms and Ravi was no longer holding her.

'I have other pictures of him but this was not just a frame but it seemed like I am talking to my Sohum whenever I used to talk with this frame. I have been talking with him for past three years, Kabir. For me this frame was everything. It seemed as if god put a life in this frame and now look at it,' she said and started crying loudly.

'Can you guys please leave,' I shouted loudly and everybody left.

Ravi was going to say something to her but I gave him an angry glare and he left without saying anything.

I closed the door from inside and bought a glass of water for her.

I was not even able to talk.

Everything was on the floor.

Her books, utensils, clothes and everything.

I made her sit on the bed and wiped her tears.

'Shhh...calm down,' I tried to console her and handed her the glass of water.
