Miss Introvert? [COMPLETED ✔]

CHAPTER 13

[Aditi]

It was soon 10 and I was discharged from the hospital. He stayed by me all this time. He even missed the college. I didn't know what to answer Ruksar chachi or Rachel or Manohar chacha. I was confused. I felt his gaze upon me and I asked, "What? ", raising my brows. "U know what... u look adorable in confusion ", he answered and smiled. A small smile crept on my lips and he said, "Hey... Did u smile at my joke?? ". "Sure.... ", I said monotonously, rolling my eyes. Once out of the hospital, I directly went back home. I found Manohar chacha folding his hands near his chest and his gaze fixed upon me. I muttered, "I am sorry.... Actually.... I was in the hospital.. " and he replied, "And u didn't bother to inform us". I looked at Ruksar chachi standing behind Manohar chacha giving me looks of fury. Of course because the hospital premises had called her but she didn't pick it up and Manohar chacha didn't know about it.... "Leave it.... It was just a small case.... ", I said and Manohar chacha furrowed his brows and asked, "Small case??? ". "Did you get another boy other than Rajesh? ", Ruksar chachi asked from behind Manohar chacha and I fixed my gaze on the floor. "Ruksar.... U need to know how to talk at first ", Manohar chacha scolded Ruksar chachi. "And what to tell to her?? She is correct at her place?? Did u ever ask her?? She comes back home wholly drunk and I have to take care of that. Sometimes even beaten up... For how long shall I take on this shame?? ", Ruksar chachi defended herself. All this time I kept quiet and looked down. "I have to go to my work at 2...", I said and rushed into my room. I broke down.... Because of all that happened today... First, the nightmare...... second, Ruksar chachi doubted my character and even raised questions on my character.... It was enough... I couldn't bear any more... I badly wanted to die... But I know it's not the solution to any of my problems. I have to stay strong... But it was getting harder and harder with every passing day...

Even though she asked me several times to go back, I didn't listen to her. I felt so good and comfortable with her. While getting out, I saw an expression of confusion on her face. May be she was thinking about what to answer to her family. After she left for her home, I went back too. As I tried to sneak in my house, a voice evoked, "Where had u been all night? ". I turned around to find dad with his hands folded against his chest. "I... I... I... I was at the hospital ", I blurted out and as I realised what I had said... I decided to say the truth. "Hospital?? Why?? ", dad asked. "Actually one of my friends fainted... So I decided to take her to the hospital... ", I said. "Her?? ", dad asked furrowing his brows along with a smirk. "Y... Ye... Yes... U might ask Sheena Didi too... She was there in charge of her.. ", I said fumbling all with nervous. "Okay... I believe you.... Go to ur room... Ur mom has made ur favourite breakfast... ", dad said and I went to my room giving him a smile. I thought to call her and ask about her whereabouts but she didn't pick up any of my calls. I tried for nearly 20-25 times until my mom called me for breakfast. She was scolding me all through my breakfast because I didn't call her up or inform her and how she was worried about me. I wasn't hearing much because I had my whole mind at Aditi.

I went into the washroom and splashed water on my face. Manohar chacha had already gone for his work and Manvi was at school. Ruksar chachi had also left for his work. I was alone. So I lit up a cigarette and sat by the window, enjoying it. I gazed at the view from the window when my phone rang. I rarely ever got a call from anyone except Rajesh. I looked at the screen which flashed "Fattu". I didn't want to talk to him. I was sure what his talks would consist of! Soon the rings were off. And again my phone buzzed. It was getting annoying so I put my phone on silence. After a while I threw my cigarette away and decided to visit my favourite spot. I went there to find a puppy in the depression. I walked down the depression carefully but I slipped. My hands bleeded but I managed to get the puppy and put it up on the flat platform. "U r now free. Go to ur mom... ", I said to the puppy. But it didn't move a muscle. "Go!! ", I said in annoyance and instead of obeying me it came closer to me and licked me. It feels so nice when u get to know that somebody loves u without a reason! I bought a few biscuits from a tea stall which was on the other side of the road after getting out of the forest. I fed the puppy with the biscuits and it was so cute!!! "Mmmm....... Mike", I named it and it barked... Actually not barked but mumed... I saw my phone once and my eyes were wide open along with my jaws. "25 missed calls from that Fattu!!! ", I echoed myself. I thought it might be something important so I decided to call him. I am a person who doesn't like to talk with people much. So I just called twice and as he didn't pick up... I gave up....
