Confession

Chapter 77

Second Chance
VINISHA

Tears go on flowing down my cheeks as I stare at Aryan with a blank face.

His expression slowly changes and turns soft when he realizes what he just said.

"Vini" He calls and takes a step towards me but I immediately step back, not wanting him near me for what he did just now.

My lips tremble and tug down and legs shake nervously, making it hard for me to stand straight.

"Vini, I...I am sorry." He apologizes with tears slipping down his eyes. "I didn't mean to say that. I...was just...not in my senses. I'm sorry."

I start crying silently while staring him with disbelief.

"I'm anything but not like my father." I whisper and shake my head while crying.

"Vini, I am sorry. I didn't mean that." He says softly and takes a step towards me but I again step back.

I sob and shake my head. "You...you.." I lift my finger and point at him. "..broke your promise." I whisper.

"Vini, no, listen." He says softly. "I was angry. I'm...I'm sorry. I don't know why I said this. I—"

I cry hard and shake my head. "You are...you are bad. I hate you for this." I grit while sobbing before striding out of the building.

"Vini! Listen!" I hear him calling out for me but I run faster towards the college gate, not even turning back for a second to look at him.

While running, I wipe off my tears and make it out of the gate. I walk fast towards my hostel and enter inside.

I was trying to control my tears but they were falling endlessly. As I reach my room, I take out the door keys and try to open the door with shaking hands.

My hands were shaking really bad because of anxiety.

After trying for few more minutes, finally I opened the door and got in. I closed the door behind me and ran towards the bed, dropping my bag on floor.

I sit on my bed and palm my mouth to muffle my cries. I cry & cry, making my eyes blur with endless tears.

"I will never do something that will impact our relationship."

I start recalling the promises he made to me, which makes me cry even more.

"I can't promise you that I'll stop fighting. But I can promise you this one thing, that I'll never hurt you. Not even in dreams. My anger, my short tempered behavior, my aggression, I'll never let them out when you are in front."

"I know in what kind of house you have grown up. Aggressive people do scare you. But my aggressive nature will never scare you or hurt you in any way. Our relationship will go on. Forever. This is my promise to you."

I had a lot of insecurities after seeing my parent's relationship. The very first time I saw Aryan's aggressive nature was when he fought with a guy who assaulted me. I got really scared that time. At that moment I got this fear that what if in future Aryan does something or says something unintentionally out of his anger and short tempered behavior.

At that time, he promised me that he will never do something like that. He assured me by killing all my insecurities.

But today he broke that promise.

He pressed that old untreated wound of mine. Just because he was angry doesn't mean he will use something against me which weakens me and damages me mentally and emotionally.
