Emotional drama ahead.

Her not picking up phone, leaving the place an hour ago and without informing him, he summed up everything in his head and recalled all their conversation since the morning , instantly he knew where to find her. He sat in the car and drove right there. Only to get horrified by the scene in front of him.

As soon as he opened the doors to the house his soul left his body. He was aghast seeing the condition of the house. In simple words it was complete a mess, things were broken and scattered. He finally managed to make his way across the hall towards the bedroom.

The moment his eyes landed on her, he was panic-stricken. She was sitting there with a neutral face starring at the wall in front of her without blinking.

"Priya...?" he whispered yet no reply from her side.

She was sitting there numb, unaware, lifeless. He slowly approached and gently placed a hand on her shoulder making her look up and acknowledge her surrounding. Ram extended his hands to take hers but stopped seeing blood on them, he looked around to locate her purse, finding it he took out a tube of Boroline and began applying it on the scratches but during his close examination of them he understood they were caused by due to intense nail scratching and lost his temper and lashed out on her,

"How dare you? How dare you hurt my wife? Who gave you the permission to harm her?"

Still earning no reaction from her, his heart bled seeing her.

"What's wrong? What happened? Let's go home ,love."

"Please leave me alone. Go." she answered without looking at his direction.

"How do you expect me to carry my body and leave it's soul behind Priya?" he asked hurt.

"Go away please." she said with a stern face.

"Never." saying he lifted her up and carried her to the car.

"I don't want to go please. Please, please, please....." tears forming in both of their eyes but both fought them from falling and he placed her in the passenger seat.

"Sood house." She said hoping he will understand but he unhear her demands and drove back to farmhouse.

"You know, it's been a week Shubhu has regularly came to office and attended the meetings, he is trying to learn business. There has been positive change in him." he tried to engage her in small talks but in vein.

In the farmhouse, he made her sit and forced her to drink a glass of water and was about to feed her but she excused herself and ran straight into the bathroom. Ram was baffled seeing her reaction and thought, "What happened Priya? Please let me know, seeing you like this is killing me. Please. Should I follow her? I guess let me wait for a minute or two, then I'll go."

.

.

In the bathroom, Priya turned the shower on and sank down on the floor, the water was piping hot, and was turning her skin pink. She finally broke down crying hysterically. The truth which is uncovered tore her world apart. It was cruel, cruel truth. At that moment she gave up, Priya Sood gave up. The girl who in-spite of having a shitty father and a hellish childhood or life didn't bent, gave up now.

.

On the other hand, Ram was pacing around the hall waiting for her,

"It's been what like 5 minutes, she isn't down yet. Should I go and get her or not? Fuck dude, I can't decide." he was thinking, "Enough waiting, I should go and check on her."
