The Ugly Beauty

Part-5

Kiara after undergoing 3 surgery...

I was fuming when I got out, but after few minutes I started thinking more rationally. If it was only for me then I would have told him to go to hell but for Ananya, I have to work for him as I really was not strong financially besides it's only for two days. I can manage that.

"Ah, so you reconsidered I see?" a playful smirk was there on his face when he saw me back that I so wanted to wipe off. He must have finished reading that gross file perhaps.

"Yup" I said without looking at him. Ugh I hate him so much now for being so snobbish. Please give me the strength to bare with him.

He opened the door for me, I got seated still sulking. I was waiting for the car to be started for 15 minutes, but it never did.

I sighed and looked at him, he was smiling with his I-know-you-too- well look.

"What now? You wanted....oops sorry forced me to have coffee with you and I am doing just that. So move this baby of yours." I said sarcastically.

He frowned and I hate to admit I missed those gorgeous teeth. " Why are you being so cold to me Kiara? Open up, please." His voice seemed sad.

"I can't, I am sorry." I didn't wanted him to see me weak, pathetic and weeping like a kid so I did what I was best at, I opened the door and ran till I was at my home.

I don't want to know how everything changed me, I wasn't an ordinary girl now. I was ugly with loads of scars on my face, my neck, my heart and mostly on my soul.

"You should have killed me, God. You did the wrong thing by keeping me alive." I shouted at my lonely house.

"He saved you for me, nerdy. I prayed each and every day for your well being ever since high school. I would have died too if anything happened to you. I searched for you in the college you enrolled, but they said you left the city...after the accident." He whispered the latter part. The voice which I wanted to hear ever since I was bruised.

"How did you... you got in?" I said in between my sobs.

"I know you always keep a spare key beneath the door mat. I've known everything about you Kiara...... everything." There was this intensity in his eyes. Like a red hot fire.

"Oh really??? I don't think so, there's still a lot more for you to know.

What took you so long to find me? I needed you, Sid. You were my only real friend, every one else was fake because they left me when this happened." I revealed the deepest burnt scars to him.

He seemed shocked standing at my drawing room, with anger and may be just may be pain for me in his eyes.

" I cried each and every single day for someone to hold me when I went through three major operations. There was noone to hold my hand and tell me that everything's gonna be okay. Nobody reported a complaint against that guy who poured whole bottle of acid on me. YOU WEREN'T THERE SID. Dad abandoned me after seeing what a mess I have become. He didn't want to waste money on my treatment. I thought the guy who I trusted the most will come and be with me, but you never came. I cried and prayed each and every day for you to find me. I tried calling you but your number was unavailable." I was on the floor crying hysterically.

Actually the pain felt unbearable, I loved him ever since high school. I wanted him to save me from this pain as I always thought of him as my knight in shining armour.

He picked me up from the ground and pulled me in for a hug, for once I felt I wasn't alone anymore. I felt complete. This is where I wanted to be for my whole life.No, I cannot ruin his life so I pushed him away with all my strength. He said nothing, hugged me tight once more and left.
