What Sonali Mehra never imagined was to have a man sitting in front of her who was supposed to nod his head for an 'I do' for proceeding further with the proposal of marriage, shaking his h...

Sonali felt like she was dying. Slowly. So very slowly.
Her body was convulsing, as if it was too paralyzed to make a move and she watched the man go berserk and she cried, too terrified, failing to flail her limbs like a dying fish who knew she was going to be preyed upon sooner or later. The helplessness and agony was so intense, she couldn't even make a sound. Her voice seemed to have disappeared.
"Sona!"
That familiar voice had called her name again and she woke up startled with an incoherent sound leaving her throat.
She was breathing so loudly, she wasn't sure how she was even able to make that sound but perhaps that was all she was capable of doing back then after all, just like right now. She looked around, the room was still dark. She could feel Shaurya's presence beside her, sleeping with a steady pace of breathing.
She controlled her breathing as she grabbed around for her phone and checked the time. It was four in the morning.
With all the lights off, she'd barely been able to get some sleep, just like almost every other night. Nights had been too disturbing to sleep in for a long time now and this was the second time that the old dream had come back haunting after shifting to Rawat mansion.
She doesn't remember all of it. She'd failed to keep herself conscious no matter how hard she'd tried. To say the least, what she does remember is still only existing like a secret that nobody knows of. It's like a hazy dream but she can never get that blurred sight out of her head.
Afraid, she'd decided to keep it to herself and then came a time when she pretended like she knew nothing about it either.
Maybe that's what had helped her run away without being chased too far? She was not sure if what she remembers now is the complete truth or not but what she does know is that no matter what, she wants to go through this hellhole at any cost.
'Stop worrying. It'll work out. You can do it.'
It was so much easier to hear it from someone else's mouth than doing it herself but Sonali still kept repeating the sentence to herself to make sure she'd heard it enough times, that she'd made sure in her own head that she couldn't afford to give up. She did not have any other choice.
Apparently, she never had one.
She blankly stared at Shaurya's sleeping figure for a little longer before slipping soundlessly out of the bed. She'd noticed, he sleeps deeply at this hour. It's easier for her to get done with the morning routine and get out of the room before he wakes up.
