18. The black-hole...

*****Jin's POV*****

Why is it that good things and good people always tend to come at a worst time? How is it possible that every time I'm seeing some ray of hope to get over my extremely colorless life and something worrisome happens?

Why?

Well, after hearing everything that happened the day before yesterday I searched and investigated all the CCTV footage of medical department in 6th floor. When Ridhi was describing me everything, at first it felt like she may have seen things because she was under heavy medication. I checked the footage. And yes, she was not delusional. There really was someone in the room and his sole purpose was to hurt her or make her scared.

He entered in the room 15 minutes after Diya left and sat on the sofa next to her bed for almost 1 hour. It seemed like he wanted someone to see that he was present there. He looked at the camera for about 6-7 times. His face was covered under a hoodie. Nothing was visible but I could see a tattoo. It has been a long time since I have seen such a tattoo. Because the experience of seeing that tattoo first time was not a good experience for me.

He walked over Ridhi's bed after a while and I watched him running his hand over her face and lips. It was cringe worthy but I felt my fist clenching after watching it. It looked like he wanted someone to see whatever he was doing. I felt like beating the hell out of him through the computer screen.

I suddenly felt very thankful and relieved that Ridhi ran towards the emergency exit and I was the one she collided with. Otherwise I don't know what could have possibly happened to her.

I was lost in thoughts. I felt my phone ringing. I pick up my phone inattentively.

"Hello..."

"Hey, Ummmm....I just called to inform that I have been discharged today morning and Mr. Park was with me and took care of the formalities..

Oh fuck!! It's her.

"Oh..Hii...Umm...Yeah...I.. I...told him to do that..I hope you're fine now.", why the hell am I stammering again?

After seconds of silence she said...
"No, I'm not fine. I feel sick. I feel like someone is constantly watching me. I'm scared."

It broke my heart. Her voice seemed like she is lost somewhere and searching for her way out. I don't know why I have to feel this way. On that very moment I felt like I have to comfort her somehow. Because deep down I know that she had this traumatic experience because of me.

Yes, the intruder mentioned my name. I know that. And I know that tattoo. It was dangerous for her. I don't want anybody to get hurt because of me.

"Are you there?" She broke my deep thoughts.

"Ummm...yeah...Ridhi, do you have some time today? I guess you'll be resting at your home. You don't have to come out. I'll go over your place." I am not quite sure why did I say that.

It seemed like an unbearably long pause until she said, "Yes, you can come over. But why?"

"I have something to say to you. Rather, explain some things."

"What are those things, Jin?"

"I'll be going at your place within 2 hours. Please rest until then."

"Ok... then... Diya is at home. If I fall asleep please call her. She'll open the door for you." She sighed which I don't have any idea why.

She disconnected the phone after saying that.

What did I do just now? Did I just say a girl that I'll be going over her place at 9 pm of night? Without asking for her consent?

I don't know what a black-hole is like. But I certainly know there are some things you can't stop and some moments which you can't control. There's no way back once you enter in that black-hole.

Fine. I mean, fuck my thoughts. Who cares?
