Mayra

I was in the kitchen trying to busy myself with anything I could find, other's were at the dinner table chatting and eating and laughing. I avoided being alone with Iti or dadi continuously.

In a flash of moment someone leaned on the counter beside me "Hey Mayra" Rudransh's usual gruff tone was rather exciting now. I only provided him a dip of my head as my gaze stretched towards the dinner table. Most of the boys were not present except for Manav jiju of course.

"What are you doing here in the kitchen" he begins again and any other time I would've entertained him but I am in no mood for anyone for a while. "Cooking" so I said.

He was about to say something when a pitched voice calls from behind "Well Mayra help me with the ingredients I want to cook something sweet" we both turned to Tanvisha altogether.

"The dinner is already cooked. And if you want help ask the maid" Rudransh answered for me and I was thankful for him "You know Mayra stays in the kitchen half of her time I'm sure she'd know much more than the maid here. And besides I'm cooking for Aarav. She knows him way more than me she can help" my grip on the counter I held was so hard my knuckles almost turned white.

"You bet-" I cut Rudransh midway turning to my cousin "Aarav doesn't eat sweets" I asserted walking close enough to her so only she could hear "And next time you ask for help you better ask like you need help" I said with deadly calm then walked past her.

I was in my room in a minute trying to even my raging breath. Today was harder for me to bear.. tomorrow will be a hell more harder.

I went into the washroom and drew myself a bath. Slipping inside the water I let my tears escape for the last time. I just sat their folding my legs close to my chest and let the tears fall and flow.

After god knows how many minutes I finally re emerged from the bath and washed all the foam. I opted for light clothes, a white crocheted top over black bra and a black long skirt.

My hairs were dry so I let them open and when I was all set I walked out of the washroom. I should leave and never look back again. I may have a chance at peace after this but a chance to love someone again... I'm wrecked and shattered. The place carved by Aarav inside my heart cannot be filled by any guy and maybe I can't look at anyone the way I look at him.

I grabbed the knob as the tears again rimmed my eyes but a sudden wave of anxiety washed over me when I found the door locked. I did not locked the door when I came in...

I was about to whirl around when a strong arm snakes through my waist and holds me firm against their chest. The other hand darts to prevent my mouth from screaming but I thrashed in their hold kicking and nudging.

"It's me" I don't know why my muscles loosened their tension or why the tang of fear dissolved into some unnamed emotion when I heard his voice.

He released his grip from my mouth but secured my waist tightly "Why are you here" the words left me without my permission. No I don't want to talk to him.. I had a proper pep talk in my head that we won't talk to him.
