The morning rays of the blooming sun fell on her beautiful face as she Slowly opened her hazel eyes looking a little perplexed at her surrounding but soon she came out of her haze as the memories of the previous night rushed in her head and her eyes widened a bit remembering the moments of her vulnerability. Aarunya couldn't believe how she slept so peacefully in the arms of the man who she hated with everything inside of her. The pain slowly seeped inside her soul, crashing her with a wave of agony as her heart ached from the conflicted thoughts and feeling flooding inside her heart. The echoes of her painful past ran inside her heart. She wanted nothing but to drown herself in water.
How can she sleep so peacefully in the arms of her tormentor?
Her mother didn't raise her to be a weak human like this.
The questions and self doubts came crashing In her mind and all she could feel was utter numbness making her hollow from inside. Aarunya shook her head and tried to Focus on her surroundings to escape the dark musings of her unwanted thoughts and self shame that threatened to consume her in its tight grasp.
NO NO NO NO. I'M NOT WEAK... I WAS JUST EMOTIONALLY VULNERABLE LAST NIGHT THAT'S ALL. DO YOU GET IT? I'M NOT WEAK. I'VE SUFFERED HELL BUT NEVER LOST MY HOPE FOR FREEDOM. I'M NOT WEAK... I'M NOT WEAK.
She chanted the words as her heart ached in between the thin line of agony and self loath. She hated to admit how vulnerable she felt last night but the way she cringed to that man hurt her more, ripping her heart like shreds of shattered glass. Though she was glad that Trayaksh wasn't there in the bed along with her. She had no wish to look at him right now, at this moment when she was losing herself in self inflicted pain. Aarunya didn't felt like crying but her insides kept burning into the flames of rage as her thoughts kept swirling inside her mind, reminding her how easily she gave into him yesterday night. Maybe she just wanted emotional support or maybe it was more than that. She wouldn't deny how her heart ached after hearing about Trayaksh's childhood. He was broken, alone and numb just like her but that still doesn't change the sins he committed, hisn Childhood trauma would never justify the pain and agony he inflicted onto her each passing day and Aarunya was strong enough to never forget the hell he had put her through. Nothing compares to the pain she felt when her own husband ripped her dignity which he should have protected, nothing would ever compare the hurt she felt when her own husband ruined her innocence which he was supposed to cherish.
Controlling herself and her inner conflict she finally calmed down the rising emotions which were rushing inside her chest. Closing her eyes she thought of her little baby bird and soon a small smile slowly crept on her lush lips. A few moments passed and Aarunya finally opened her eyes as the slight unlocking of the bathroom door fell onto her ears and she knew what was coming next.
There he was, stepping out of the bathroom, a towel wrapped around his waist, droplets of water still clinging to his well-toned chest and arms. He paused as he saw her, their eyes meeting over the room. His gaze darkened, the memory of the previous night's events rushing back to him. He could feel the way his fingers tangled with her hair strands, still felt the heat of her body under his hands and the feeling of her little head snuggled into his chest as if it's her safe place.
