The Voice within [Completed]

Chapter twenty seven

Preethi's POV

Waking up can be really harsh, especially if your dreams are better than reality. The saddest part of it is, though, that eventually even the memory of your dream will fade - if you are even lucky enough to remember it that is. Then you're left with this lonely feeling of detachment, left to explore in the empty void of emotions, the only proof that you ever had the dream to begin with

"Hi" I heard a voice as I shook in fear.

Thank God it's just Anamika!

"Good morning" I said wiping my tears off.

"Are you alright?" She enquired.

"Yeah thanks. I need to use the restroom" I replied.

"It's on the left" She informed.

"Preethi wait" she said as I stopped.

"Is that a bruise on your hand?" She  questioned.

Oh no!

"Yeah I..I..fell off my vehicle. So that's why" I said shuttering.

I didn't want anyone to know what had happened.

"I might be a psychiatrist but I have a general idea about wounds Preethi. Tell me who hit you and how did you get that Bruise?" She asked as I remained silent.

"Are you going to tell me or should I tell Anwar about this?" She asked.

Before I could even answer her another voice interrupted us.

"What's wrong Anu?" Veer asked.

"This bruise on her hand is almost 2 days old." I said showing him the bruise.

"Who is responsible for this Pree, tell me and I won't spare him!" Veer said.

"It's not his fault. He was forced to do this to me"  I replied breaking down.

"Who was?" Veer asked concerned.

"Arjun" I said tears streaming down her face.

"Pree" I heard a familiar voice.

"Arjun! I...."

Veer went and caught Arjun's collar.

"What's gotten into you Arjun? Are you out of your senses? How the hell could you hurt her?" He asked.

"Veer I had my reasons" he tried explaining but Veer didn't want to listen.

"Veer I -"

"I don't fucking care what the reasons are. Look at her face man how could you even think of hurting her?"

"That's because she loves being a saviour" Arjun screamed freeing herself from Veer's arms.

"What?" Veer asked.

"She entered Randhir's home to save some stupid doctor. Randhir asked her to take care and she tried helping him escape and Pari caught her" he said.

"Pari? Why would she... She hates all this gangster stuff" Veer exclaimed.

"I don't think Veer. She took me to Randhir and I really thought I was going to be killed. I almost even said my last prayers" I said.

"It's okay. It's all over now" Anamika said comforting me.

"Can you explain what exactly happened?" Veer asked

The flashback - 2 days ago

I made a fake ID as I got to know that my mentor - Dr. Bose could actually be alive.
