Niyati: Their Destiny

16. Roommates

Roop's pov

I rushed inside the bathroom and turned on the shower after stripping down from my clothes. I sat on the floor and leaned on the wall, taking a deep breath.

You are an idiot!! Panic attack was one thing, but what the hell was this? Why would you cry in front of him!?

You are stronger than this.
You are strong.
You don't need anyone.
You can do it, Roop.
You are not supposed to emotionally depend on anyone.
You are not supposed to forget that you are alone.
You don't have anyone.
You never will.
You are cursed, and loneliness is your fate.

Stop being so dependent on him.
Last time you trusted someone didn't go well.
You don't have a family.
You never will.
No matter what anyone says.

"Arhaan, uncle, please."

"Please call the ambulance."

"There's bl... blood. A... a lot of blood."

"Uncle.... uncle, please."

"Mumma is... she is in a lot of pain."

"Pleaseeee."

"You always said that i am like your daughter. Pleaseeee help me."

"Un... uncle, please. Mumma is talking as if she is going to le.... leave me."

"Uncle, please.... I'll take any punishment. Mr. Goenka will give me."

"Pl.... please i... i beg you."

"Op.. open the do..or please."

"I am sorry. I didn't hit Aryan. He fell, tripping on his foot. Trust me. Please."

"Unc... uncle."

"Meri... meri mumma ko bachalo na please."

"Uncle. Please."

He taught me how to fight.
He taught me that the father daughter relationship i had with my father was not normal.
He taught me that i am supposed to get out of that place.
That there's a world outside to it.

If only if he... he helped me that day, mumma would still be with me.
But he didn't.

People tend to leave when you start relying on them.

I can't repeat this mistake.
Last time it cost me my mother.

Raj is a good person.
But so was Arhaan uncle.
People may lie.
They may pretend.

Even if Raj is not lying, i can't depend on him emotionally. I'll have to leave eventually. Maybe I'll end up wrecking his life, and then he will hate me.
Just like everyone.
Just like me.

How i wish i was never even born.
The only thing i agree on with Mr. Goenka.

I sighed, getting up from the floor. I don't know what's wrong with me today.

I opened the door and was about to walk out when i bumped into a wall. Who the hell builds a wall in front of the door!?

"You scared me." The wall said.
Wait, what!?
It was Raj, idiot.

"Shouldn't i be the one to say that?" I asked, raising a brow. He was just staring at me. I think he zoned out. I waved my hands in front of his eyes, and he blinked multiple times before clearing his throat.

"I don't know you were the one locked in the bathroom for an hour and a half." He said, and my eyes widened.

Did i really sit there for one and a half hours?
