Estranged lovers

Chapter 10

SIDDHARTH

The meeting ends sooner than I thought. My mind wanders back to what happened today. Maybe its time to face the past and move on. I will have to do it sooner or later. I think its better I move through all the stuff before I leave.

Upon reaching the lake house I am reminded of that day again. It is like a curse, a curse I might never escape from. The day that everything went down. What was supposed to be the best day of our lives, ended up being the worst. 

And you are to blame.

I hear a thud as I enter the house. Its coming from .... Mom's study.

I make my way upstairs, careful to not make a noise.

I see red when I open the door.

ANNIKA

"Who gave you the permission to enter this room?"... his voice boomed startling me.

"I was just--" I tried to explain

"GET OUT NOW" he shouted.

I try controlling my tears. I stay rooted to the place. I know I made a mistake but that is not what hurts. 

There were letters following the incident. Each one pleading for forgiveness. Each one filled with growing hatred towards himself, turning colder and loathsome. They stopped after 10 years.

I look up to find him looking at the mess behind me. The letters were spread on the floor. The box of pictures that had dropped when I was looking for more of the letters. 

"Sid...Siddharth..... I can explain, please-" He pulls my hand and drags me out of the room. His grip punishing. 

He doesn't let go till we have reached downstairs.

"What were you thinking?" he shouts

"I wanted to .... I was just trying to-" I fail to come up with an explanation.

"Enough."

"I had clearly asked you to not enter the room. Which part of that sentence did you fucking fail to understand?" he says his grip on my wrist tightening.

I flinch at his tone.

"I'm sorry. I wanted to-" I try saying in a calm voice even though it weavers a little.

"Wanted to what?" he says getting angrier

"I...I'm sorry. I'm so sorry." I say

"Leave I don't want to see you right now." He says

He lets go of my hand. There is blood from where he was holding my hand. My bangles were broken.

He turns away from me and makes his way upstairs, And shuts the study door with a thud.

I turn away and walk out of the house. Tears keep flowing from my eyes.

I shouldn't have done that. There is no way he will want to marry me anymore. Why does the thought hurt. I take out my phone to book a cab, the battery is dead. shit. 

I look back at the house. No I can't ask him. I sigh as I start walking back to my home.

When I reach home I notice the lights are off. What time is it? My feet hurt.

I go to my room trying not to make a sound. What will I tell di? 

I open the door to my room. I feel chills down my back. Frowning I turn on the lights to my room.

Nothing.
