Yashika The uncanny puzzle of KING[ 18+]

13 - My Only Family

DIGVIJAY'S POV

"I wish I could give you back your....", she cuts me off. "Please don't say it. I don't want anything. I don't deserve anything and one day you will get rid of me too.",  her words felt like daggers in my heart.

"Take good rest.", I know what I said was sounding extremely ridiculous. But I don't know what else to say?

Each time I see Yash...,My heart aches everytime, remembering that name. The pang of hurt hits me hard.

"How long? How long will this continue ?", I have no answer to why I said those words? I was regretting saying the moment it left my mouth.

I felt her moving from her bed and walking out. Breaking through the darkness after long and painful nights, she stepped out to face anyone and that too me.

As she took her steps out from the dark corner, her dark silhouette started appearing with her shadow hiding me around it.

Her hair were disheveled, her body looked like a dead walking, there was no life on her face, her eyes were devoid of any emotions. As if it was only her body moving but there was no soul inside her.

Yashasvi stood in front of me, keeping a safe distance. But all she did was stare at me as if peering the depths, searching for something hidden beneath the surface.

"You ......", "What did you ask?", she asked before I could finish.

"How long will this continue ?", I could see just a flicker of emotion in her eyes before she went back to stoned and empty.

"You know? everyday....every single day i wish to go, to go somewhere....where there is no ocean of pain and weight of emptiness. But, only ocean which engulfs me in love.", No matter how hard she tried, her tears fell, betraying her in that moment. Still she didn't flinch and looked straight. Maybe, even she did not realize that her pain was flowing through her eyes.

"If you ask what is it, that I have done in life? without wasting time I would say... 'WAIT'. Wait for a golden morning, Wait for a feeling of being loved."

("Kabhi puchte humne zindagi main sabse zaada kya kia hai? Toh bina samay vyarth kiye kehte.. INTEZAAR. Intezaar ek sunehri subha ka, Intezaar ek pyaar bhare ehsaas ka"),

with that she started taking steps back. Still not leaving that gaze, she did not turn.

"Not everyone is born with a destiny written in gold, like yours. Some are born, only to turn into ASHES."
("har koi aapki tarah sone si kismat likhwa kar nahi aata. Kuch logon sirf Raakh bann kar reh jaate hain"), all it took was, some words to show the difference between our worlds and  just like that she vanished in the darkness once again. 

Before I could say anything she turned her back and disappeared into her numbing comfort of Darkness.

No matter what she says, today she will HAVE to step out of this darkness.

YASHIKA'S POV

I know he comes here everyday. I know he wants my forgiveness. But there is nothing left in me other then darkness. Even now, I could feel him looking at me, standing behind those curtains.

His steps echoing through the thick silence as he walked in.

I don't want anything to go back to, I don't want anything from anyone.

The truth is, the hope that once lived in me is gone, it's dead. There is just ME who is surving. There is no soul living inside. It died the day YASHIKA saw the last flash of her life before those claws ripped her body.
