Broken Inside

13. I love you, swara

Betrayal can be extremely painful, but it's up to you how much that pain damages you permanently!

*********************

Swara was walking but suddenly she was pulled by someone through her wrist. Her eyes widened seeing the person.

All she could say now was...

"Sanskaar......" she gasps.

"I wanted to talk to you but why you keep on ignoring me?" Sanskaar asked pulling her more closer.

"Why should I?" Swara gets out his grip. "You are just a professor and I am a student, what to do want to talk?!" Swara said blankly yet rudely.

"There is no one here to act swara." sanskaar  pulled her close to him.

"I don't need to act." swara's tone turned sternly and took off his hands harshly and started walking.

Sanskaar pulled her towards him and pinned her in the tree trunk. Before she would say anything he placed his lips and started kissing her, even thought swara wriggled but his grip was stronger. Soon she she stopped and started reciprocating loosing her sense. The kiss turned softer and passionate.

They broke the kiss due to lack of air breathing heavily. Sanskaar joint her forehead with hers.

"I love you swara!" he muttered softly which was audible only to her.

Swara closed her eyes on hearing his words.

Suddenly, a fork of lightning, brilliant and buzzing with a magnificent electricity, flashed majestically through the groaning mountain of clouds.

"You are just no one.... No one to me swara"  his words rang her ears once again.

Swara opened her eyes, getting back to sense and pushed him. Swara started walking fastly while sanskaar caught her wrist.

"Swara.... For once hear me... I'm sorry..I" sanskaar was stopped by swara.

"Sorry ha?!" swara turned towards him and pushed his hands.

"Tell me, will sorry your bring my lost life, will your sorry bring back my parents? Tell me sanskaar, if yes the I will whole heartedly accept your sorry." swara said bluntly.

"But.... I" sanskaar was again stopped by swara.

"Was loving you wrong? Tell me.... tell me, was all the moments I spent with you were fake?.. I saw love in your eyes for me was that a lie?.... Tell me..." swara caught his collars shaking him while sanskaar was speechless.

"You broke me, you killed me, you turned my colourful life into a colourless one..... Why did you play with my feelings sanskaar why?..... Didn't you and your father get anything else other than my feelings to play your those cheap, cruel play? Just because I don't want to see you again I left India but..... This never happened... When I joint this collage I saw you first... Only I know what all I did so that I don't see you... I wanted to stay away from you all life.... I don't want you back.. I don't.." Swara voice started chocking. Today her eyes was reflecting the immense pain she has gone through all these years. Sanskaar stood rooted in the place hearing her words which was stabbing his heart for a million times.

Soon, it began sprinkling. Little droplets of water drenched her hair, skin, and dress. The water droplets began growing larger and falling frequently. The light ‘pitter patter’ of rain turned into wet thuds as the icy water raced to meet the ground. The sprinkling turned into a torrential downpour. The coldness seeped through her gauzy gown and chilled her skin not her fire burning heart and soul.
