16. Toothless and Invites.

" Yudhishthir! " I kept shouting but to no avail.

I sat on the floor, crying as I couldn't find him. He was my friend before all. It was hard to imagine if he was gone. I then realised that Kanha ji had left him in my care.. I disappointed him too. Everyone I was ever around lost their lives.

I needed to send Mini away. The aunties were right. I was a bad omen. I killed everyone who ever loved me. I can't be around them. Mini, AJ. They need to stay away.

I stood up, frantic, trying to pack a set of quilts, blankets, a pair of clother for Mini when I heard the sound of the door jingling open.

I rushed to the kitchen, knife in hand as I stood by the door. The dark made it harder to see, so the moment the man stepped forward, I held the knife against his throat, but it was intercepted by his hand.

"Sagarika? What are you upto? Why do you have a knife in your hand? " The voice asked.

My fears melted, my panic erased as I clutched the owner of that voice with all my might.

He held me close and when my adrenaline finally wore down, I realised.

" You! You absolute irritating, annoying idiot! Where were you? The bed covers were ripped apart, the sofa upturned! What did you do! " I yelled at him, while he tried to explain.

But my anger was beyond me that day as I repeatedly hit his chest.
"You made me think someone had kidnapped you or killed you! What was I supposed to do huh? You vanished! I asked you, çdo you want to go somewhere' but no. You choose to go alone and my house is in disarray. Answer me! Where were you? " I shouted, the last of my traitorous tears falling down the corner of my eyes as I looked up at the one deserving of my anger.

" Answer me! Why won't y-"

" How will I answer if you keep speaking? " He said, ever calm with a hand on my mouth.

" I was here only. You had left the door open and so a cat came inside. I hoped to help her out but she wouldn't budge. She wanted to stay here for some reason. I am not as good with animals as my brother Nakul, but I tried. Then she apparently decided she wanted to make me run around the house. Hence the torn sheets. "

" And -and wha-what about the blood on the bed? " I asked, now wiping my tears when a hand came to do that for me, holding my face with both his hands.

" That's my pain Priye. That's simply paint Sagarika. Red paint. I was looking at a picture of you and AJ to figure something out when she had ran into the room, toppling over my bottle of red paint. " He whispered.

My legs gave out as the panic left my body, yet the fright it gave remained. I couldn't loose him. It was unimaginable.

" I have a gift for you. Won't you close your eyes? " He said, sitting down on the floor with me.

I opened my eyes to look at the cutest cat in the whole world.
