Destiny

Chapter 7

Anaya drove the car. Aarav just stared at her. Finally they reached. It was a quiet park. Anaya sat on a bench. "I lost my parents at the age of eight. Ever since then, I was brought up by my uncle. He was really abusive. He made me do all the house chores and whacked me too. He would threaten me and say he would abandon me. I was stupid to not go. Finally, when I was seventeen, I could not take it anymore. I ran away and started working in a restaurant. Then I joined a college where I found Anita and...and... Vikas,"

Aarav's blood boiled even hearing that guy's name. He had no idea what he did to her but he was sure it was not a very nice thing. "I fell in love with him in college. Soon, I graduate and started my own business. It was a success. Vikas was always by my side, well that's what I thought. I did not know he was sleeping around with other woman. That's when one day I caught him. My was broken. First my uncle and now him. I could not take it. I almost wanted to die. But then Anita helped me, and now I am here." she said.

She looked up at him. He was still standing. She stood up and held his face. "The day I met you, I felt my heart was happy. It was happy again. The day I kissed you, it was heaven. I was dumb to think I had no feelings for you. But now I know. When I got the news of your accident, I was shocked. I was numb, I could not move. I felt this was all my fault. I am really sorry. I love you. Please don't leave me. You were the only person. Who let my heart love again and I hate you for that. You are the only person who got me with your smile and I hate you for that. But I love you a little more," she said.

He hugged her tightly. "I love you too," He whispered in her ear. Then, he pulled out and kissed her. She pulled out. "Baby, people are looking," she said. "Why would I care about other people?" he said and hugged her again. They drove back to the hotel.

Anita was in her room. Samar was out. She had not seen him for days. That's when she called him. "Love?" "Ani I am busy," "Yeah, you are always busy. You hardly even have time for me. It's like you don't love me anymore?" "Baby, I love you but I am at work," before he could say anything else, she cut the phone and threw it on the floor.

A few minutes later... There was a knock on the door.
