Tick. Tick. Tick.

The clock struck at 2:00 A.M. She looked at the time and stared at her hands intently. The trembling fingers were the side effects of heavy tobacco that she had burned her lungs with. In midst of trying to hold everything together, she had finally lost herself. She lost her charm, her will to live a beautiful life.

Tears crammed in the corner of her eyes, she cuddled herself pulling her knees upto her chest. The pain was too much to bear. Her emotions felt jammed somewhere down her throat, that made her nauseous. Her numb brain had stopped working, pausing her comprehension of anything. She wasn't feeling anything, anymore. Physical pain were the only relief that could loosen up the constricted feeling. She picked up the knife that had been her only companion in dark for one year now, and slowly pulled it near her hands. Tears started slipping down her eyes, as slowly her quivering lips crafted into a beautiful smile.

" Please bestow death this time " She claimed while through her tears, she depicted the agony that went upon her. She pulled her sleeves up and started drawing cuts over the unhealed, red ones.

"Sakshi, please stay away from us"

That's what she wanted, too.

She couldn't keep her love happy for even a second.

But maybe her death could. That was supposed to his last birthday gift.

She wanted herself to be dead.
But God was yet to be done with her pain.

She was done with her life.
God wasn't.

She had no strength left in her.
God had presumably decided she can bear more before there can be no more pieces of her.

She was Sakshi. All alone and tired in her life.
She wished death every day , and every moment of her life.
But God was yet to make her wish come true.

" Sakshi! Where are you? When are you going to wake up?" Mahi's step mother, the evil witch, Sakshi's mother in law, shouted like the mad lady she was. The hatred she had for her quote and unquote, son's wife, was lethal. But with Mahi hovering over them, here and there, she was never going to get rid of Sakshi. But she can sure make her life hell.

Mahi wanted to read his newspaper in silence for once. He wanted peace in his life, for once. But his wife and his mother had made it a mission in his life to not let that happen even for once.

"Good Morning Bhai","Good Morning Bhaiya!" Virat and Rohit descended down the stairs, where the former one was accompanied by his actress wife, Anushka. The other was accompanied by his girlfriend and soon to be wife, Ritika.
Mahi passed a smile as soon as he saw the only two personality in his life, that kept him sane. His brothers. They pretty much tried to make up for the emotional havoc his wife and mom created everyday in his life. The torment he had to go through everyday killed him slowly, yet somehow his little brothers always were there to heal him a little. His smile was snatched a long time ago when the only person who he loved with his entirety decided to break him into pieces. Seeing his brothers everyday with their wives leading happy life, hurted Mahi a lot. That was supposed to be them---

" Mahi Bhai, tell Virat to not tease me. Anushka whined, as she got a side hug from her favourite big brother.

" Let it be nushkie. Office mein, I will burden this guy so much that he will forget teasing you anytime soon." Mahi shared a giggle with Anushka as Virat pouted.
