The Shattering Tale (Dark)(On Pause)

8. Disclosed

"Good morning Mr. Dixit" Sonakshi enters his room with a tray of breakfast and a cheerful smile.

A week has passed and there was no change in his behaviour. He was still all silent. He never laughed, neither cried. It was just his nightmares which made him yell and shout and scream wildly.

She sighed as he was awake and was sitting on the bed, glaring at the floor. And with her voice, he looks at her.

She didn't miss his silent blank eyes which hasn't yet lost their charm of hypnotising her. But now, they were dull and tired.

Pasting a smile, she stands in front of him.

"Have this....." she says keeping the tray on the bed and sitting in front of him.

He looks at her and then at the tray and then, again, at her.

"Okay let me feed you...." she takes a sandwich towards him to have a bite.

He silently bites a little.

"Dev..."

".........."

Without any of her efforts, she makes him have the soup as well and he gulps down without even looking at her.

A tear forms in the corner of her eyes.

Cause she hasn't mixed salt in the soup, thought that he'll protest and start to talk.

But alas.

He just had it without any word.

"Dev....."

He looks at her.

"How's the food?"

He pecks a faint smile.

"Okay listen" she tries to hold his hand and he removes it as fast as he could. "Dev..... Look at me...." she tries to cup his face but he slaps her hands away.

"Oh okay..... Fine..... Hold this" she forwards the handkerchief.

He holds.

"You can tell me very clearly that, Sonakshi.... I'm hating this food," says she and he looks at her.

His dry eyes have just twinkled at her words.

"Yes, Dev...... Talk to me....."

".........I......"

"Yes, Dev say..... I'm listening"

"I.......want.......to........go......out......."

She was on cloud nine. Finally, he was demanding something from her.

"Yes of course Dev..... We will....." she replies happily. "Come let us go"

While going out of the room and house, her family members seemed on their way, one by one.

"Good morning Dev," said Asha as he left the room with Sona.

He doesn't of course reply anything.

"Morning Sona beta," said Bejoy and she replied with a smile and a soft hug.

Dev just adores her family. He never got such love.

Dev and Sonakshi were walking in the park while Sonakshi was busy talking about random things with him.

He was silent.

She stopped on her way.

But he doesn't even notice this and keeps walking.
