Loveless: The Beginning of Hell

13: The Wedding in Hell I

Kiara heeds to the waves colliding against the rocks, a feeble sound resonates surrounding her as she regains consciousness. with every passing moment that sound tends to grow. Weakness shivers through her body, while her fore-finger twitches slightly lying on the cold moist sand. She flutters her eyes open slowly, a subtle smile lands on her lips upon the sight of his handsome face and his name flees into the air.

" LAKSH"

The moment her soothing voice strikes his ears, an elated Laksh embraces her out of excitement. Relief washes through his heart arriving with the feeling : the love of his life is alive, breathing. " Kiara, shukar hai bhagwan ka you are fine!!" laksh exclaims joyfully. The smile on her lips was lost to sight with the rise of memories of that night when his insolent actions drifted them away. she shoves him away immediately and endeavours to get up but her body refuses any energy. Laksh's hand unfurls in support which Kiara declines, taking his help will be the last thing she would wish for.

" don't even try to touch me, laksh. why did you save me?" Kiara yells, her blood boiling in agitation and frustration at its peak.

"Will your death bring Nikita back!! ( he yells) what if they never gave her back, the Kiara I knew would never suicide, would never run away from her problems. She would fight back. look at you, Kiara !!! who have you become" laksh hollers , making her confront reality. In that instant, her feelings could not deny, from the fact he stated. Indeed Kiara Chauhan was fearless, lively not an afraid soul running away from her problems but the torture, these days have brought to her was too vast to bear for her. those wounds inflicted on her body were still fresh, especially the ones in her mind.

her fingers brush against her cheeks, wiping off the tears which never seem to cease. The violent breeze hits her face while the cold ocean water constantly brushes against her feet sending waves of cold shivers through her body. She raises her eyelashes looking at him with moist sights interlaced with anger and frustration.

"The Kiara whom you knew died the day when you tried to touch me inappropriately without my consent"

" Kiara, I did what I did so that you would hate me. I did it because I wanted you to leave me on your own. I can't marry you if I had told you the truth you will never let me be distant from you, Kiara. Maa would have got you killed and you know she is very capable of doing so. I don't want you to get hurt in any way" Laksh reveals the bitter truth.

" you think I am scared of it, laksh. look at me do I look alive to you. I am dead from inside but you! laksh ..." Kiara sobs, unable to complete her sentence.

" Kiara you took one decision in anger and it destroyed you. The job which you were going to leave just for the sake of saving it. you went to the Hotel. Kiara, how can you do it to yourself?" laksh shouts which further irks Kiara.

" How can you do it, laksh? When I needed you the most, you weren't there, and even after knowing, you didn't come. it was my job and till I had not resigned I had to follow the orders. Not everyone is rich like you" Kiara slams back.

"You still haven't resigned. Kiara"

" he is behind the bars."

" but for how long Kiara? please fight for yourself, let me help you" he steps closer to her, the extended hand towards her offering support. Her hand moves towards his but as soon it brushes against his fingers, the horrifying memories of that night flash in her mind. holding back the scream, Kiara drifts away her hand instantly and steps away from him.

" Kiara is afraid of anyone's touch "Laksh realises witnessing the fear in her eyes lowered to the ground.

" those eyes which were fearless once are now burdened with fear. Kiara, how will you marry him when you are afraid of anyone's touch? " laksh questions.
