Precious

chapter-19

Aaliyah's POV
I couldn't feel anything but numb all across my body I felt I didn't had any emotions left but hurt 'everything hurts, everyone hurts' were the words repeating in my mind like a broken stereo.

We were already in the jet on the way to Bali and for the first time in last 4 years I didn't regretted my decision of gonig along with him yet. Its not If he'd hurt me it'll be new to me I was used to it now, getting hurt from the people I least expect from.

I woke up with noises and felt someone's hands on my waist I fluttered my eyes open and quickly regretted it, my head felt as if thousands of people were jumping in there I could figure that out, it was sex on the beach, wine, shots yesterday in the jet I saw a bar there and without thinking twice poured myself in alcohol. Which was paying off now.

I realized it was talha who was holding me bridal style and for the first time after 4 years I watched him this closely. His brown eyes were much more lighter and his jaw a lot sharper then before he had the aura of maturity around him with the thin white shirt I could see his toned arm and well built chest he changed a lot and it was a good change. And I realized we all changed some in good way and some in bad way I don't know in which way I changed.

That's when I realized we were not moving and looking he was looking directly at me. And for some reason I felt as if he was looking directly into my soul I shrugged my shoulder and attempt to get out of his grip only for him to tighten him more and taking me close to him we were almost cradling each other, and made our way to the car.

After 30 minutes car ride, and 10 minute boat drive we finally reached the private island and boy was I amazed, it was like whole new world we were surrounded by ocean and greenery and there almost in the middle stood his mansion in all his glory I was excited to see what will be the view and suddenly my phone gonig off pulled me out of my trance.

I was annoyed with so much beeps and turned it off deciding I'll look after I'm doing savoring this beauty and realized I actually didn't had anything since last I don't know how many hours and was starving. As if reading my thoughts I heard him chuckle lightly,

"Don't worry I already had them make some food for us I figured you'd be starving after so much drinking" he exclaimed shyly I could see his cheeks and couldn't help but shook my head.

Without any doubt the mansion was as big and beautiful as outside and had the view worth dying for it also had a flying pad and enormous swimming pool I could see myself in the favorite blood red bikni sooking myself in the water, the bedrooms were as marvelous as the whole house it had large walk-in closet and jacuzzi 'but its no where near the mansion ajmal have' my subconscious retort back and I scolded myself for it I have to stop myself from comparing everything and everyone to him he has hurted me the most cruel way possible I could never have it in me to forgive him ever.

My mother's word rang in my mind:
"If he can cheat once there's no guarantee he won't do that again, no matter how hard you try you can't make that person stop repeating him , and in that situation the only vice thing is having self-respect and leaving the person for god"

I felt someone's hand on my cheek and realized a lone tear escaped my eyes and he was removing it I couldn't help but feel the betrayal and broke down soon after and again found myself in his embrace.

He was chanting "let it out, it's okay" like a broken stereo which made me cry even lowder after what felt like forever I found myself slipping into darkness.

Flashback...
