Advik is in his art room sketching something. He does it often when he gets spare time.
Though he hardly gets time to waste. But right now he is doing it.
He has only one thing to sketch her face with different emotions.
"wow Advik this sketch is so beautiful." Jennifer gushed
"it's not my sketch but the face is beautiful Jennifer," Advik said while doing his work
"Yeah that's true but your sketching art makes her face more beautiful.. Ok tell me one thing, why do you always sketch only one face? Why not different faces? I mean it's your imagination right? Then why only one?" Jennifer asked
Advik smiled hearing her.
" It's not my imagination Jennifer, it's a real person's face." Advik said to Jennifer
" really? She is very much beautiful but who is she? "Jennifer asked with curiosity lacing in her voice
" she is no one Jennifer, "Arishka's voice boomed
" Hey Arishka, how are you dear? "Jennifer asked
" I'm fine Jennifer, um can you bring coffee for me, I'm too lazy to make for myself, "Arishka said
" sure dear I'm coming back with your coffee, "Jennifer said and left
" Advik, you didn't stop sketching her still? "Arishka asked him angrily
" and why should I? "he asked without being bothered about his elder sister
" you came here to move on right?" Arishka asked
" Correction, did I come here because I didn't want to stay with people who don't believe me and believe someone else over me. Who doesn't care about me or my feelings." Advik spat harshly
"they are our parents and family. Don't talk about them like that. If you're here that's because of them. From your birth to childhood to adulthood they were there. So be grateful to them." Arishka said in same tone
"yeah I'm grateful to them die for what they did for me I never denied that but at the main point they left me," Advik said
"Advik It's not you but your anger is speaking. It's been 2 years since that incident. Why aren't you moving on from it?" Arishka asked
"they had a choice to do but yet I'm here, and you're also here because of me only. And I'm sorry for that. Because of me you can't meet them," Advik apologies
"Adu," Arishka said and hugged him tightly
"it's hurting di, it stills hurt me very much. It's like yesterday that incident happened. Why did it happen? We all were so happy in our life then why?"Advik asked Arishka hugging her back
He isn't crying because he has promised he won't shed tears anymore.
" it was destiny my brother, it was already written in your destiny. "Arishka said
" When are we going? "Advik asked
" after two days pack your luggage," Arishka said
" wow did I miss something? "Jennifer asked coming with two coffee mugs
" no nothing much, just some emotional drama, "Arishka said chuckling
" emotional and Advik? Well that's something I never saw. " Jennifer said
" pray that you won't see it ever, because you honestly don't want him to see in that condition." Arishka said seriously
" hmm, OK now take your coffee, "Jennifer said and hand Arishka her mug
" take it Advik, do I need to invite you?" Jennifer asked and Advik took it from her
" but he didn't ask you to make for him then? " Arishka asked confused
" Well it's a deal that If I am making coffee then I have to make it for him as well." Jennifer said
" By the way where is the doll ? "Advik asked
" your doll is gone with her father to buy ice cream, this girl is getting stubborn day by day. "Arishka said
" she is your daughter do so obviously she will be stubborn, "Advik snorted
" oh really? More than me you're stubborn Mr. Arrogant Malhotra, "Arishka said and smiled remembering her childhood when her parents were in the initial stage of their relationship. Aaina used to call Arjun, Arrogant malhotra.
" if I'm Arrogant Malhotra then you're Mrs. Attitude Mittal, " Advik argued
" OK ok you both are not kids but one is a mother and another will soon be a father." Jennifer said trying to stop Advik but unknowingly she made him remember something
"Yeah," Arishka said and hold his hand to calm him
"I think I should go, Asmi will be back," Arishka said quickly gulping her coffee
"OK, take care dear," Jennifer said
"Jennifer I'm going to sleep," Advik said abruptly wrapping up his things
"won't you have dinner?" Jennifer asked him
"no I'm not feeling like eating," Advik said and left from there with the coffee mug in his hand.
He went inside his room and locked it with a bang.
"I'm pregnant Advik,"
Those words echoed in his ears. He applied too much pressure in the mug that it broke in pieces making his hand bleed
He sat down on the floor with blood flowing down from his hand.
He closed his eyes trying to forget everything but those memories are hitting him with full force.
"I'm sorry," He mumbled
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry please forgive me," he screamed in agony as his room is soundproof
"I won't forgive him ever for whatever he did no matter what happened." Advik promised himself
"no Advik you won't cry. You promised you won't shed a tear." He told himself
He got up from the floor and took the first aid kit out.
As the antiseptic liquid touched his wound he hissed a little.
"it's nothing in front of the pain I have felt before." He mumbled and pour a generous amount of antiseptic liquid on his wound
It stinged very much but he didn't pay attention. He cleaned his wound and put the band aid.
He looks at the floor that has a mixture of blood and coffee.
" Let's clean it, "he mumbled and clean the bloody mess he created he doesn't want to give Jennifer a heart attack by giving a show of blood
He throws the pieces of the coffee mug in the trash can knowing Jennifer won't check it before throwing it outside.
Once done he laid on his bed to sleep but sleep is far away from his eyes..
