TRAPPED (On Hold)

Chapter 15> The Pain

"Bihaan" she shakes his shoulder. He looks at her. "What are you speaking? Be in your senses!" she fumes wiping her tears. "Arjun is dead" she yells.

"Noo....." He cries pushing her. "He has promised me...... He will never leave me alone....." He yells. Tears keeps shedding from her eyes. "Bihaan please understand" she cups his face. "Stop lying" He pushes her hands away.

"I'm here for you" says she and he looks in her orbs. "I'm here" she whispers cupping his face. "And we will definitely do something to get out of this forest.... I promise...". "I promise that Arjun's death will never go in vein"

"He's not dead..." his loud cry jerks her away. "He will be back" He yells jumping out of the car.

"Bihaan it's not safe.... Get inside" she orders and follows him to outside.

"Aarrrjjjjjuuuuuuunnnnn" He calls for him, crying aloud.

Silence.

"Arjun you have promised me to stay with me, didn't you?" He cries. She gets teary eyed.

"I promise I'll never fight with you.... I promise I'll do as you want me to. I promise I'll never smoke..... I promise....." and he breaks down falling on his knees.

"Come back bro..... You know I can't imagine to live without you..... Please...." He begs joining his hands.

"Bihaan" she softly speaks placing her palm on his shoulder.

"Please...... Come back......" He cries ignoring her.

"You wanted me to not to drink....." He cries. "I will do everything as you want me to..... But please...... Please come back."

She caresses his hair and he hugs her belly, tightly. "Sshhhh...." she consoles rolling her fingers in his hair. "I lost him...." his voice cracked in pain. She remains silent and teary eyed. It was hard for her as well to witness the end of such a beautiful relationship. "I lost him Thapki..." He cries and she sits in front of him. "He was my everything...." He cries crushing her soft shoulders. "I........... I...... Lost...... Him".

She knew it was a major loss of his life, they shared beautiful relation of friendship till childhood. She was out of words, at his condition.

"Please..... Thapki....... Please.......ask.........him to........come.....back......."

"Sshhhh Bihaan....." she buries his face in her neck. His hot, shivering breaths hits her skin. He cries squeezing his eyes.

"He.......Can't........die....."

"Everything will be fine Bihaan...."

"He.......Can't.....Leave me"

"Sshhhh.... I'm here"

"He.......had.........promised.....me......."

"Bihaan...." she caresses his hair. "Everything will be fine...." she places a soft kiss on his forehead. "I promise". His snivellings lessens.

"Bihaan......" she worriedly throws her glance as she hears some ruffling sound on the top of tree. "Bihaan... I think there are cannibals on the tree." She warns him huskily.

She looks around the dense forest. The sky was dark now and she had the intuition of someone staring at them from the top of the tree. She was so scared to move her head.

"Bihaan" she slowly shakes his cheeks without realizing that he was dizzy. "Get in the car Bihaan" she orders patting his cheeks. "Bihaan" she whispers.

"Forget it Thapki..... I'm unable to get....up...." Says he in a faint voice. "Stop your nonsense I said..." she scolded huskily. "Do you think I'm going to leave you here?" she scolds shaking his head.
