Ok so lets continue....

"Why are you not saying anything ?"
Asked Ryan while switching his hand from the steering wheel to the gear stick.

Katy didn't looked at Ryan but said , "I don't have anything to say".

Ryan looked at Katy and saw tears in her eyes. And before Katy could catch him staring at her , he quickly shifted his gaze to the road ahead.

"Katy ??". He called without looking at her way.

"Hmm..." ,

"Can I ask you something ?". Asked Ryan.

"Sure". Replied Katy.

"You're not going to get angry right ?". Asked Ryan.

"No". Katy sobbed Invisibly.

"For how long has he been beating you ?". Asked Ryan.

Katy looked at Ryan. And this time he also looked at her , searching for the truth.

"H..he never beats me... When did he ?". Katy said with a lower voice.

"Never ?".

"N..no , He is a ... very g..good husband". Katy's voice cracked.

"Are you sure ?". Asked Ryan. He did his best so that Katy can spill the truth.

Katy shook her head. Tears started coming from her eyes. At first she was wiping them looking on the other way but when she couldn't bear anymore...

And Ryan was waiting for that moment. The moment where finally Katy will tell something about her past .. her present and ... Maybe the future too.

Katy started crying with voices. She put both her hands on her eyes to avoid Ryan to see her crying.

But it was too late. Ryan had already seen her crying from the beginning.

He abruptly stopped the car and parked it at the side of the road. He then turned his body towards Katy.

"Hey .. talk to me". He said.

Katy was continuously crying and shaking her head in a sign of NO.

"Look at me , Katy ... Look at me please". He insisted.

Katy looked at him slowly.

"Whats wrong ?? Talk to me please". Said Ryan.

But Katy just couldn't stop crying.

Ryan's POV

It hurts. It hurts to see her crying like this. I never thought she was this broken from inside.

But by watching her crying like this .. like a baby , It killed me from inside.

I quickly got out of the car and and walked towards her side , Opened the door.

"Katy ... come out". I said.

Katy shaked her head as a no again.

"Please Katy .. ok listen to me, Tell me what's wrong. I'll promise I'll heal everything for you". I said so that she can come out.

But she was crying a lot. I was running out of the ideas to make her stop crying without touching her. But my heart was paining to watch her crying so badly.

And then I had enough. I grabbed her hand and pulled her out of the car forcefully and made her sit on the nearby bench.

The place was quite peaceful. The sound of birds chirping and calmly flying across the whole sky. The both sides of the road was covered with beautiful trees. And bushes and flowers.

When she sat down on the bench. I sat on my knees in front of her and hold both of her hands.

"Katy ... Don't cry please. It hurts to see you like this. Please... talk to me". I said.

"Katy ??". I called her name.

I was about to call her again when suddenly she pulled her hands from my hands , sat down on the road like me and hugged me tightly.

I felt her vibrating in my arms. I felt her warm tears spilling on my neck. She held me tightly. Her hands were on my shoulder.

I was shocked because it all happened so fast. I slowly put my hands on her back. And then I caressed her head with my hand.

To be honest... It felt so good while having her in my arms. She was so soft just like a stuffed toy. As much as I was compressing her , her body was allowing every movement to me.

Few minutes later , she pulled back. Then she looked at me with her tired and puffy eyes.

I stared in her eyes and passed her a smile. A smile of assurance. She smiled back and sat on the bench.

I also stood up and sat next to her. And waited for her to open up to me. She wiped her tears one last time before tilting her head towards me.

End Of Ryan's POV

"I was 18 years old when I got married. Marve is the son of my uncle's bestfriend. So his dad decided to convert the friendship into family terms". She said.

"So you didn't object ??". Asked Ryan.

"I did , but my uncle wanted me to marry him. There was nothing I could do". Replied Katy.

"What about your mother ? Was she happy with this decision?". Asked Ryan.

"No , at first she was supporting me but then she shook her head in front of my uncle's will. We both did. Marve ... he was not always like this. He was okay in the first three months but then he changed. And I don't know what happened to him". Replied Katy. She sniffed.

"Then ..??".

"Then one day Marve came home , And he started beating me saying that I ruined his life. That was the first time he ever beated me but then after that ... it was his routine to beat me up". Said Katy.

"Why didn't you tell this to your parents ?". Asked Ryan.

"My dad.... he died when I was 12 years old. And my mother... I knew if I would tell her , she will become sad like me and she have already seen much pain in her life". Katy replied wiping her tears.

"I'm so sorry about your dad..." , Said Ryan. He was shocked listening that Katy lost her father at the age 12.

"Its okay , Its not your fault". Replied Katy.

"Marve have given me so much pain... at times I ran out of the capacity to endure this much pain. He beats me to hell. But I was so scared to tell this to my mom or anyone else". Said Katy.

"You don't have to tell me that you're in pain , it's written in your eyes. Your secret eyes".

Sorry if I made you cry. 😭
