Suddenly

Chapter 34

SUKHI's POV
Thousands of people were passing right and left, some families with small children, some couples and finally elders.

Meanwhile I was sitting there lifeless on the blue seat waiting for the train. My mind was thinking about Ahaan and on the other hand, my heart was getting heavy with all the pain that it was holding since I left Ahaan's house. A tear left from my eyes followed by others "It hurts" with that I left for the restroom and locked myself there.
I looked at myself on the mirror, eyes were red and swollen for the pain which was flowing down my soft cheeks living wet lines and the red nose followed by my trembling lips, I was a mess, total mess without him.

"You are fine, Sukhi...E-everything is fine" I said to myself trying to calm down and opened the tap to wash my face just to let the warm tears mix with the cold water trying to put the cold liquid on the hot pain.

I went to the waiting room and took my luggage and started to get ready to get on the train after I heard the metallic voice telling that the train was coming.

Afterwards, I went directly into the train and sat on my seat which was next to the window.

Everything of the city was so calm and the sky was still dark, I caressed the window trying to feel the cold breeze against my finger, just then a memory of me and Ahaan played on my mind and I quickly shut the window curtain.
I tightened my hands with each other and I closed my eyes trying to hold my tears and I cried myself to sleep.

~After a few moments later~

The cold breeze was touching my face while I was trying to cover myself with Ahaan's jacket that I took before leaving. I sighed looking at all the cars leaving and coming, but none of them was there for me. I was standing outside the train station for almost for half of an hour which looked like two years from the time I stepped in Broadstairs.

I was confused and scared, my heart was telling me to go back to Ahaan but my mind really was telling me to stay away from him, not for me but for his sake. I decided to look for a taxi to drive me to an hotel in the parking lot.

Behind a yellow cab I found a muscular man smoking, he was wearing the uniform and he had some tattoos behind his neck that scared me but still I came closer to him.

"E-excuse m-me?" I called him getting his attention. He looked at me from head to toe "Yes? Do you need help, little girl?" He asked me and I just wanted to run away. "N-nothing...Sorry for disturbing" I said and I started to walk back to the station but I was stopped when his body came in front of him and I started to panic.

"I haven't seen you...around here before" his deep voice suddenly slurred in my ear telling me that he was getting closer to me and I started to step back until I felt something touching my back and when I turned around I found a car behind me. I am trapped. He walked closer to me and his face was only a inch away from mine, his breathing smelled like vomit and liquor.

"What's your name?" he breathed and I gaged. "Don't touch me" I cried and lifted one thin arm to push him away from me, but it didn't worked and he laughed. A tear left from my left eye causing the man to laugh even more "P-please leave me" I sobbed "I am not going to hurt you, we are just going to have some fun" he said and licked his lips, leaving the dryness of them.
I can't let him touch me, with this thought I pushed his chest hard and run faster "Come on, come back here!" He shouted and while I was running my head started to spin and when I was about to fall down a pair of hands took me on the time. For a moment I felt the same the feeling of being in Ahaan's arms but when I looked up my eyes caught a tall brown-haired boy. He looked at the drunk man with his light brown eyes then at me "Don't worry, I am here" he said with his soft voice and he signalled me stay behind him that I obliged quickly hiding behind his tall figure. The man walked closer to us "Let her go, now she is mine when I finish having fun I will give her to yo-" he started but before he could continue the boy, who was standing in front of me pushed him up against the wall and hammered his face with his fists. I quickly went to stop him by holding his arm tightly and he stopped and looked at me confused and I shook my head telling him to let him go and strangely his eyes soften and let the man go, who run away quickly.

"Are you ok?" He asked me and I nodded  "Thank you so much...you saved my life. I don't know what would've happened if you didn't help me" I said giving him a sincere smile but the tears were still running down my cheeks "No problem " he said while giving me a tissue paper that I took it and thanked him again. "Do you need a ride? If you want I can drive you to your destination and I think it's dangerous to stay here" he said and I nodded "Can you drive me to a hotel?" I asked him "Yeah sure, follow me" he said and I took my suitcases and followed him to his car.

"So what's your name? I need something to call you" He asked while driving "Sukhi" I said looking out of the window "Oh, I am Arjun nice to meet you" he said "Nice to meet you too" I said looking to his direction and gave him a small smile.

After arriving to the hotel he accompanied me to the reception area "Excuse, can we have a room please?" He asked to the receptionist who looked at us "Not for me but only for her" he chuckled and she nodded "Let me check it for you" she said and started to type on her computer.

After a few minutes she sighed  "I am afraid to tell you that all the rooms are busy this month" she told us "Can you tell me if there are any other hotels nearby with reasonable prices?" I asked and she told me a few which were quite far from where we were.
We went back in the car but before I could enter in the car he held my wrist making me face him
"What About if you stay at my house?"
