His Foreign Love

Chapter 7

"Kab kaun kiska hota hai?
Sab jhoothe rishte naate hain,
Sab dil rakhne ki baatein hain,
Sab asal roop chhupate hain,
Ehsaas se khali log yahan,
Lafzon ke teer chalate hain..."

It was completely dark with not a single light around. It was unable to see in so much dark which was stretched to infinity. The swallowing, threatening darkness scaring the person standing in the middle of nowhere. It was pin drop silence and the person could hear their heart drumming inside their chest, their heart thudding against their ribcage trying to be free from there. Their breathing was slow and steady while the shakiness in it couldn't be unnoticed.

The person tried to run away from the darkness but it wasn't possible for them due to the shackles of dark looming around them. Anyone could easily jump scare them appearing out of nowhere. The person was terrified of the dark due to being familiar with it. They have faced it many times and the fear was palpable and the gravity of the tense environment was quite evident in their body language.

When they decided to try to get out of there, they heard a soft sobbing sound anywhere near them. They felt that someone was trying to seek help with the way the crying sounds were coming from a certain direction. The person walked there and suddenly fell down after bumping into something in the dark. They hissed and raised their head to check themselves but their gaze stilled at something.

There was a baby's front in front of them which could be clearly seen in that darkness. They started walking towards the crib which was the only source of light in that infinity darkness. Soon their faint footsteps could be heard clearly. They reached the crib and with fear and panic peeked into the crib but it was empty. There was no baby inside and soon the crib started disappearing too turning the darkness more dark if possible.

They felt something was wrong there and soon there was a shrill sound of a baby crying loudly. They looked around and found no, nothing but undeniably darkness. They turned frustrated due to no way out and found themselves trapped. The baby's crying voice was increasing an octave high with each passing second piercing their ear drums. They closed their ears tightly with their palm but it failed to stop the voice from reaching to their ears.

"Mama, why didn't you save me?" Soon a soft baby's sound echoed in that dark place earning that person's attention who was a female and maybe a mother too.

The person gasped and looked around to see from where the voice was coming but nothing could be seen in that dark. She shook her head vigorously in a negative way trying to deny the accusation just thrown at her by a baby. She walked further aimlessly trying to find the source of the voice but the never ending darkness kept her moving in a loop.

"You didn't want me right?" Again the baby's voice came and the pain, hurt and fear of abandonment was evident in its voice.

"N-NO!!" The woman cried out hearing the accusation trying to deny it.

"Yes you did. You didn't want me that's why you let me die. Right?" The baby's sobbing voice again came wrenching that woman's guts terribly. She didn't know what to answer and his ti explain herself.

"No it's not like that. I fucking tried!!" She screamed out trying to justify herself but there was no one to console her saying that they believed her. No one was there who would stand with her. She was always alone and her fate was written to be alone.

"You are a liar. You said you will protect me but you didn't." Another accusation was thrown at her earning a loud scream from her.

"NO!! I TRIED!! I FUCKING TRIED!! B-But I failed. I'm a loser, A big fucking loser!!" She screamed tugging at her hair hurting her scalp in the process but no one cared if she even killed herself in fact people will be happy at her death because no one wants a she devil's presence looming over their lives.
