They both were sitting on the cliff with Nitya's head on Shiv's shoulder "Now tell me who caused you pain," Shiv demanded.

"No one."

"Nitya......." Shiv gazed at her "I won't have forced you if it was something small but if it's caused you so much pain that you thought all the rubbish stuff of the world then I am sorry but I have to force you." He asked firmly.

Her hold tightened around his bicep "Shiv I........I...." She stopped taking a deep breath as Shiv caressed the back of her hand "My family is not like yours, it is different. I was never treated well." She wiped her tears but said those things which were hard for her to even think "They never talked to me. They sent me to my grandmother to stay with when I was 5 and at 13 I was called back to live with them. Atleast Drishith annaya talked nicely to me before I left for my grandmother's house but later even that changed." She took a deep breath as she couldn't form words "They........" She sniffled "I was excited to finally stay with my family but they never talked to me. For 3 years I tried my best only to hear trash from them. But then I finally gave up and applied for a college in Mumbai for my graduation and then my post-graduation. I used to visit them on my holidays in the hope that maybe this distance might have made them miss me but I was wrong every time." She wiped her tears with shaky hands "But I met Shreya there and finally I had someone who loved me." She chuckled in between her tears "Shreya. She protected me from so many things, talked with me,gave me hope that I can be loved and I decided I will live with her. So once I finished my studies I found a job in Mumbai without telling them but only after 6 months they found me and asked me to come back. I denied it at first but then something happened and I had to go back." She wiped her tears as Shiv tightened his hold on her.

At this moment she was not ready to tell him the reason which made her go back.

"Why would they do this with you?" He asked wiping her tears.

"I killed my mother." She said looking down.

Shiv's eyes widened upon hearing her. Nothing left his mouth as he just looked at her asking to explain what she just said without saying a word.

"When I was born it was hard for her to manage all things. And she was diagnosed with postpartum depression but no one took her seriously. She..........." Nitya went silent reminiscing the memories that she didn't even remember "A week before my birthday she tried to kill me, she strangled me." She went silent as if seeing the scene unfolding in front of her "But my father came in time and I was saved. Instead of understanding her condition they thought it's better to ignore her and taunt her how she is a bad mother. The guilt of trying to kill me was eating her inside and on my birthday she was found lying on bed with foam in her mouth, pills in her hand, lying lifeless." She finished with a sigh.

Shivansh was shocked to hear whatever she revealed. He never imagined that she was going through something like this even in dreams.

"I am sorry but how.... How did you know all.........."

Nitya chuckled bitterly "My father told me. When I was drunk one day, I confronted him for his partiality towards me, and he revealed how I was the one responsible for the death of his love. Later I did some research and slowly everything unconcealed in front of me."

"Oh, my love." Shivansh hugged her to his chest "I am so sorry you went through so much and I was making things hard for you with my puerility." He hugged her tight.
