I dropped her off in front of her apartment, she never once looked back at me,
The minute, I saw her eyes today, I knew she will confess me something I was looking for, but I had never expected it would be this worse.
No doubt! she’s been through hell, but still she’s smiling, Hell...I gripped both sides of my head. It’s impossible for me to consume those things she had said.
She’s blaming herself for this thing this whole time. Thank God! Dad left the room before she woke up, otherwise, I didn’t want to think about what would have happened. I haven’t had any chance to spoke with him about anything particularly. 
She said there were two things in her life!!
I don’t want to push her to say something more than she had already told me and more than I deserved to know. God help me what should I do now?
I need to fix her, I’m a man, A man! who can fix things, A man who will show her there are so many things out there and she deserves to live her life and not to punish herself for what happened in her life. Did she think about the things What would have happened if this situation has another angle or vice versa? What if Rishabh would have faced this if he was in her place?  Place....Man! I shake my thoughts.
The silence she gave me and the look in her eyes shows me everything, She guarded herself again but this time she has cemented that wall’s around her, and it will be ten times more difficult for me to deal with her.
As soon as I reached home Dad hugged me tightly.
“ I’m so sorry Son,” He said, “ but promise me one thing, you won’t regret that ever, what did you do was the right thing from my perspective, but it will lead to more problems and sometimes worst, But trust me, that’s when you will find yourself!”
I thought a few minutes about what he said, Sometimes I really hate his philosophy but whatever is he saying now is right, but technically for her and not for me.  She'll have to find herself and I will drag her from there!  I promise.
I’ll have to make a few calls and tomorrow will be a new day for both of us.
“ Dad I will see you in the morning,” I said to him and leave. thankfully he didn’t ask me anything. If he would have asked me about her or what happened in there after him, I promise I would have said all those things. I guess, I think He knew some sort of hallucination to get to know the things from the people mind.
All of us have our own enemy to fight. It just that we’ve different intensities of the things in our lives.
I was thinking about her this whole time, I didn’t want to think about the thing what she’s been through. Months without saying anything, and haunting things each day of your life! literally scared me like hell!  But she’s not responsible for what happened in there and I will have to prove my point in here, and needs to believe that!
It’ll be a long battle to fight and She’s the most stubborn girl I’ve ever seen.
I was staring at the ceiling, trying to get some sleep but failed miserably. It feels like, now I’ll have nightmares after hearing out her story. I don’t want to dwell on the thought of what she has another problem in her life. And What’s bothering her more. It’s like I’m going too far into the darkness with her, but I have to do that. Otherwise, she won’t be able to see the light she has in her life.
I’ll have to call Mr. Siraj, I know he’ll have some idea about her, I know he is like a father figure to her.
FATHER!!! I sit up at that thought, I don’t have any idea about her family! Where they lived exactly, where are they from! What’s her background.  I really need to know these things,
She said, She had those two best friends, are those in that picture of her laptop?
I need to see what’s that, what I can do to make that thing right.
