Broken Jewel

❤21❤ - Abhi Vs Dev

*Warning: Some disturbing contents*

I slowly told him everything that happened the day before. His face showed a myriad of emotions but that didn't stop me from saying the whole truth. If he was going to be with me, he had to know everything. With a heavy heart, I looked at his face. But this time, there was only one emotion on his face. Anger...... The next words he said, proved me right!

"Whythe hell are you staying with Dev? Are you freaking crazy?"hescreamed making my heart stop for a moment.

---------------------------

"Abhi.....I..... I had no choice..... Last night when I was alone, I had no other option with me other than following him." Sona spoke as Abhi's eyes revealed his frustrations.

"Whatever.... You should have somehow tried to escape and call me back. I can't believe you just went back like that and stayed with him one whole day. Here, I am restless.....trying to find you and locate you but you, you just stayed there happily for a day and.......telling me now?" he asked.

"What nonsense Abhi? How can I escape? I got drenched and if Dev wasn't there..... I could have been trapped for life or worse.....dead! You should be thankful that he saved me. Plus I wasn't staying there happily.... I was unconscious for one whole night!" she said in a weak whisper.

"Unconscious? Why?" his voice was raised and harsh. Sona had no idea why Abhi was behaving like this... the Abhi she knew was calm and composed. He always listened to her with patience and care but now, his anger was scaring her. He wasn't even understanding her position.

"I was not feeling well Abhi......but that's not important now." she sighed and sat down at the nearest bench. Abhi's eyes softened as he moved nearer and sat next to her. His hands touched her shoulders and gently turned her around.

"This is so tiring Abhi. I am so done with running away.... All I want is some help! I feel so weird asking Dev for help.... I mean.... I was the one who told him to leave me. I rejected him. Yet, he saved me during troubles...... Asking more help from him is so inappropriate. Can you help me find a place to stay instead?" she asked desperately.

There was a moment of silence before he answered.

"I can offer you to stay at my apartment.....but it's a guy's apartment. If you stay there, then you would have to share the room with me. Is that okay with you?" he asked as Sona stayed silent.

She tried to keep her emotions under check but in reality she was shocked. She tried reading his expressions to see whether he was kidding or not. But he wasn't. He was dead serious.

"I don't think staying sharing a room with you is appropriate Abhi...."

"Then what? Sharing with Dev is appropriate?" he gritted as Sona was taken back by his sudden tone. For the first time, his tone hurt her. His harsh statement caused a great pull in her heart.

"Why are you so angry on me? Do you really think I am sharing a room with Dev?.................. Can't you see that I am helpless here? If I had the power in me, I could have gone and found a shelter for myself. But I didn't because I can't Abhi. Just a single night alone has caused me so much of pain.... I was chased by gangsters....harassed and still, I am struggling.... Why do you think I am bearing all this embarrassment and pain? To stay in London and enjoy the luxuries? NO! I want to study....... I just want to study Abhi... I have nothing else to lose now. I have stooped so low.... I am already begging people! I hate it...but I can't help it" she blabbered but her face was stoic and hard. For the first time, she didn't break down into tears and she was proud about it.

Abhi's face changed from anger to regret. He regretted his words and walked near her. He gently hugged her.

"I am sorry Sona..... I just can't help it. I am frustrated that I am helpless too. I want to help you but I can't see a way to help you. I don't want you staying with him..... it's making me feel so insecure. I don't want you to withdraw your course too! Is there any other way you can gather some money? Maybe I can try asking around for help?" Abhi offered but Sona shook her head.
