A path to a dark secret (Mature18+) (Completed)

Chapter 16

Kalki POV

Why is it so that you feel at home even with the people you hardly know. I was at the party looking at Khavin's family and I was at deep envy, you know why because I had that family but I lost it, I didn't realize the worth of having a family, and when I finally did realize it didn't change my situation because I already lost my parents.

The funny thing is for a few months I have been feeling like I finally got my family because of the warmth and support Khavin's family has been showering on me but now that Khavin is almost okay, the realization that I am a guest to this family has made a dent in my heart. I would miss this family. 

Unknown to me drops of tears made their way out from my eyes and I escaped into the mansion so that no one notices my emotional outburst.

I know Khavin would be busy with his family so I escaped to his room, his room had a balcony which is my favorite place. I sat by the small swimming pool and dipped my foot inside the pool after removing my footwear. The cool water caressing my foot calmed me down and the light reflecting out from the pool gave a warm glow to the balcony because the balcony wasn't brightly lit. 

I heard Khavin call my name and I turned to see him in the room looking at me with doubt as if he knows that I am sad

Khavin: Kalki, what are you doing here?

Me: Nothing Khavin, what are you doing over here? Shouldn't you be with your family?

Khavin: Come on Kalki I know something is wrong with you, I saw you wiping your tears when you escaped from the party. Why do you look sad?

Me: I don't look sad because I am not sad, you are being delusional, come on let's join back to the party

I started walking out but I felt a tug on my saree stopping me from leaving the room

Khavin: No Kalki, you are sad and I can clearly see that, you have tear streaks under your eyes

Me: What? Damn it !!

I ran to the mirror but there were no tear streaks, my eyes looked a bit red, otherwise, I looked all okay

Me: I look fine Khavin, you lied to me

Khavin: Well you lied to me too

Me: I didn't lie, I wasn't sad

Khavin: Well the fact that you checked yourself proved that you are guilty. Now, will you tell me the reason or ...

Me: What would you do? I am not gonna tell you, I am walking out right now 

Khavin: You can walk out and I am gonna stop you

Me: And how would you do that?

Khavin: Its not a blind threat Kalki, I am gonna stop you even if it means I would get hurt. I can't stop you while I am on this chair but I can stop you if I can run behind you. You might think how can I run behind you because I am not fully recovered but believe me Kalki I am gonna try so hard, I am gonna try to stop you even if it means I would badly injure myself 

Me: You cant 

Khavin: For you, I can

Khavin POV

Kalki started looking at me trying to understand if I was kidding or not

I started standing on my feet to show her I wasn't kidding, I slowly stood on my foot and started walking a few steps, and next, I know I was falling but Kalki stopped my fall. She helped me back on the wheelchair and looked at me with all the anger she could show on her cute face

Kalki: Are you bloody insane? Do you know if you fell what would have happened to you? Your spine is still weak, if you fell all the progress that we did in the past would all be a waste

Me: So now are you going to tell me why you are sad or do I need to do more of that stunts?

I smirked at her face, she huffed out a sigh in defeat

Kalki: Okay fine, you wanna know? Well here is the thing I had a past, I lost my family, now when I want them to be here with me they are gone, but when they were actually there I acted like a selfish brat. I never told them I loved them, I hardly ever listened to them, now looking at your family I am jealous, I am really jealous because I don't have a family.

She sighed and sat on my bad while I wheeled my chair close to her, I bent down and took her hand in mine

Me: You might have lost your parents, I know you regret not showing them how much you loved them but I know you do show them your love and gratitude every day now, so do not feel guilty. As for your wish to want a family, let me break the news to you that my family adores you, since the time you gave back their son, they have been seeing you as their family, so stop thinking that you are all alone, you have us and.....

Kalki: I have you now, but what about when your all okay, I feel at home over here, I love being here but I have to leave, the day isn't far when you would be alright and I have to leave. That day I would be alone again, as a client once our sessions are done we would be done, I would be someone's therapist again, so when we look at the realistic picture we will be done and then we would be strangers. There is no use in these blank assurances. I am leaving Khavin and I'll be back tomorrow for our sessions

I saw her walking away and her words finally registering in my mind

It's going to be over soon

I cannot see her every day
