CHAPTER SEVENTY THREE

Six Weeks Gone

Everything had drastically changed and Ishita could genuinely say that things were better than she even expected. As she opened her eyes still laying in Raman's arms she felt like finally this is what it was meant to be all along. She felt at peace, she felt calm she felt at home. Things were not as bad as she had anticipated and maybe, just maybe she would be safe enough to be around Raman and his family

She slowly adjusted herself more into his embrace and as she opened her eyes to look at him, she could see from her peripheral vision that Mihika and Abhimanyu were both in her room Abhimanyu laying on the ground while Mihika lay on the couch.

She turned to look carefully just to make what she was seeing was actually there. She sat up looking at her siblings and chuckled wondering what had happened. When she turned around, she could see Raman had bruises on his chest like someone had been punching him. His face was red as if someone had been slapping him. He looked a bit horrible

'Oh My God Raman...'' She called out causing all of them to wake up and look at her

'Ishu...'' Called out Mihika

'Mihika what happened? Raman what happened to you...'' Said Ishita as tears filled her tears

'Ishita calm down am fine...'' said Raman as he sat up from the bed

'What happened to you?'' she asked as she touched his chest

'It's nothing I am fine...'' he said

'What hope... wait... Mihika... Abhi what are you guys doing here?'' she asked as Abhimanyu sat up as well looking at her nut didn't answer

'Can someone tell me something...'' she said as tears begun to stream down her face because in her heart of hearts she knew, she guessed that all this had a very familiar feeling to it. She knew that she had a lot to do with what was going on...

'Ishita... Please...'' Said Raman as he pulled the duvet away top try and hold her but it just made things worse

She could see he had bruises, similar to the ones he had before, the ones as he played down as a fall in the bathroom. He had nail scratches on his stomach and his back and it didn't take long for her to figure out what had happened

'Oh My God I did this... I did this didn't I?'' she said crying

'Ishu it is okay...'' Said Mihika who could see her sister was getting very distressed

'How is this okay? Tell me how any of this is...'' She said as she struggled to talk through her sobs

'It is nothing serious look I am absolutely fine...'' said Raman as he tried to calm her down

'How long... How long had this been happening?'' Said Ishita looking at Raman

'Ishu...'' Raman tried to talk but she interrupted

'I said how long Raman...'' Said Ishita tears filling her eyes but one could tell she was getting very serious

'Two weeks after you came back...'' he said

'How come I don't remember any of it? I don't remember a thing? How come I do...'' she said as she looked around as if she was trying to remember something

'Did I ever hurt the kids?'' she asked genuinely concerned

'No... It always happens when you're asleep while having the nightmares but it was never this bad...'' answered Raman

'So what changed...'' she asked again looking at Raman

He wanted to hide all this from her because he thought that this would just bring her more pain than what was needed but he also understood that maybe this would help her remember all she had been through and try and get past it
