Too young to love???

Chapter 24

Danial's POV

Four days and I am still having the same dream again and again, that day Sara had returned home safely, told mom that Adi had dropped her off when I didn't turn up to pick her up. She must have thought that I didn't want to see her but the truth was I had been busy fighting the demons in my dreams, the demon being my father, I really don't know how I know but I just know that the man who was the kidnapper in my dreams is my father, biological father that is.

And ever since I woke up after that horrible dream that night, I have been at edge, even if there is a twitch of leaves because of the wind I become alert, and it's annoying. I have turned into a scared little cat and I hate it, I honestly just hate this feeling of dread that seems to surround me whenever any of my family members are away, Sara included.

I feel hopeless, what is to become of a person like me who is afraid to face his own father? Most probably I think I should be dead, yeah I am a useless dead piece of weight on earth, a huge burden on my family and definitely a nuisance to Sara. And oh by the way she is still not talking to me, right now she has gone to attend Adi's sister's sangeet ceremony. I was supposed to go too but I didn't, I don't want to feel pathetic more than I already do.

Maybe it'll be good if I just died, after all what's the worst that could happen if I died? Its not like anybody will miss me, in fact I believe they will be relieved to be rid of me, mom would cry for sure but dad will definitely be there to console her, he loves her after all.

I wish I too had someone who could understand me and help me right now, but there's no one to turn to for help.

If I went away I am sure Sara will not be affected, in fact I think she'll be happy to be rid of my constant glances and stares, our endless arguments and fights but then we had shared some moments of peace too, I mean we did talk and she told me about herself, she opened up to me, neither did she talked to Ashar about her past and her thoughts nor to Aditya, I am the only one who knows all that, is that suppose to mean something?

Maybe there is more to our relationship, maybe we are not just friends, because friends don't fight and argue the whole time like we do, that happens between couples, and we are not one.

"But what is she wants to be more than just friends with me?", I wondered out loud. It's not like anyone would have heard me, Ashar was in his room and no one else was in the house at the moment.

Back to the question, what is she likes me? My heart fluttered and my stomach had this weird sensation in it, I quickly got up from the couch and went to my room, I quickly changed my t-shirt and navy blue button down shirt, threw on a black jacket took the keys and my cell phone from the table and rushed outside, informing Ashar that I was going.

You must be wondering what's with the sudden mood swing? Well, I just realized that I like Sara, and maybe she likes me too and so I decided that instead of continuing with this stupid 'not acknowledging each other' thing, I should apologize and perhaps try to pursue her. With my mind made up I drove to the Adi's home where the sangeet ceremony was taking place.

As I entered the driveway of his house, I could hear the loud music blasting from inside and just as I got out of my car, Sara walked out of the house, she was wearing and Indian styled dress, salwar-kameez they called, it was a combination of navy blue and sea green color, she looked pretty in it, she kept walking towards the garden and didn't notice me standing there. I went after her, she settled down on a bench and as I neared her, I noticed that she was shaking.

"Hey, are you alright?", I questioned from behind, she jumped up in surprise and seeing me standing there her eyes widened.

"Are you alright?", I tried again.
