Past

Grinny

Helping him sit on bed, I went to grab emergency kit.
"You still have time grinny" he glanced up at me where blood was oozing down my ankles and then away from me.
"Leave me , stay away from me, I'll give you nothing but scars" his voice broke down at the end.

The stirring feeling in my heart slammed my voice down my gut. Why he always have to push me away.

"Let me stay" I basically cried. "I'll rather bleed wrapped in your arms ".
As painfull as these sounds it's true.

Even the thought of leaving him ,left my heart numbed for a while.

I took his foot on my lap

"aghh"

"Sorry", I whispered looking up just to catch his eye already at me.

My eyes went teary again as I tried picking glass pieces out from his feet, "aahh it hurts..let it be ..DON'T!" he yelled jerking his feet.

"If you won't treat it now , it'll hurt forever" ,I said closing my eyes and picking it out at once and quickly putting cotton on it.

We both knew it's not just about this wound.

"I was in high school when my dad died",he speak as I start dressing his wounds.

"At that time I had a girlfriend, it was 3 years relationship.
I really loved her, but her definition of love was totally different from mine.
She cheated on me five times in those 3 years and still everytime she came back and I accepted her with the same love.

I used to do everything she wanted, I did things out of my ways ,but all she did was telling me "DID I ASK YOU TO?".

A drop of tear escaped his green eyes, I can feel, he is speaking his heart after being silent for ages.

His words are coming out broken, as his voice held heaviness, I rub on his skin to show a little comfort.

"Despite of my love , care and efforts, she never appreciated it.

I was just a rebound for her until she gets a better one.

She never loved me, all she wanted is my money and attention.

She used to tell me to stay away from my parents ,as she didn't like when sometimes they were my priority; but even after everything I stayed, I loved, I gave my all."

Placing his feet on bed I crawl on his side , I took his hand in mine; they are bruised too.

Cleaning his hand, I put ointment on it.

I stayed silent, listening him pouring his heart out.

"When my dad died, mom got traumatized, she used to have nightmares.

I start giving all my time to mom, though I used to call her but she stayed busy and so was I.

Our business went down too, we were facing severe loss, I got so engrossed in all these things that I was barely having time to even sleep or eat.

Wheather it was my dad passing away or me going through so much hard time in business, she never came to see me.

She used to call me for money and  rant me about her problems but never asked me about what I'm going through.

And one day when I went to see her, I caught her cheating on me and that too with the same guy whose father betrayed my father in buisness and who's the reason behind all my hardship.

Her audacity was great to tell me she felt alone and did it out of loneliness and I was blinded by love to believe her.

Not to late she removed the folds from my eyes totally.
