Burning Hearts

100. 𝐁𝐚𝐝 𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦

❗️IT DIDN'T HAPPEN FOR REAL. Idk if the two of them can have the same dream at a time, but since it is fictional... let's all believe it is possible. Whatever happened after Parul left Aryan's home is a dream. Bad dream. Shiva was waiting for her. He had seen their photos and then somehow he fell asleep. And then both Parul and Shiva dream about it at the same time. I had written it and then I was like, it'd ruin the character development. Both the chapter has more than 8k words and I didn't want to delete it simply. So I thought of uploading it anyway. But it is a dream. To be clear, you can even skip it. Chapters 98 to 99, it is a dream. None of it is real. Besides the abuse, I thought I had written and explained their emotions very well. So instead of simply deleting it, I thought it'd be good if I made it a dream.❗️

Chapter -100

Parul's POV

My body shivered as I opened my eyes. I was breathing heavily. So heavily that the cab driver was giving me a weird look.

What was that dream?

It felt so real!

I placed my hand on my chest and concentrated on my breathing. Although I realised now that it was just a dream, my heart was beating abnormally and tears were escaping my eyes.

It hurts.

Everything about that dream is bad and heartbreaking.

Ignoring his weird stare, I took a whole minute to relax and wiped my tears. After paying the cab driver, I made my way towards our home. Our home...

Would Shiva go as far as branding me to hurt me?

He wouldn't.

He loves you.

Just be patient.

Everything will be okay.

I looked around and his men weren't around. They usually patrol the house 24/7. Where are they? I was about to step inside but then I remembered something. I turned around and towards my right was the garage. Cold chills ran through my body seeing his black SUV. Sighing, I made my way inside.

And the darkness welcomed me. The fear that I felt was so real. I turned on the lights and looked around. There was no sight of him. He must be upstairs, waiting for me.

To punish me...

Maybe to have a nice talk...

It's just a dream!!

The door wasn't locked. And that's it. I couldn't move another inch. I was panting standing before our bedroom. Tears pricked my eyes.

Everything is happening just like it happened in my dream. It's not right to call it a dream. It's a nightmare.

I don't want to see that side of Shiva, ever again.

Inhaling sharply, I placed my hands on the handle of the door, trying to push it.

I was expecting him to be on the couch, tapping his foot, waiting for me impatiently.

And that thought scared the shit out of me.

Biting my lips, I forced myself to push the door but stopped when I heard small whimpers coming from the room.

The whimpers were low and sounded painful, almost like he was crying.

Did something happen to Shiva?

All that was running in my mind was Shiva and his safety. Without thinking much, I barged inside. The sight in front of me had my eyes widen like saucers. My breath stuck in my throat.
