Love is blind

CHAPTER -2

Fear had completely overwhelmed my mind. I could not understand what I should do now. Why have I entered this body? Moreover, what am I doing in this girl's body? Why do I see this girl? I saw that girl even when the earthquake was coming and my death was just seconds away from me. Why am I reaching the same place again and again from where she jumped and killed herself?

I fell to the ground thinking, but I did not faint because I was not even in the state of being unconscious. All these situations that were in front of me, I felt that I had gone mad. If what that girl said is true and she let me enter her body then why did she do this? I tried to see things around me but I was constantly dizzy. I could not see anything clearly. I didn't even know where I was. Everything I saw was moving round and round. I decided to run away. I could not pay the bills for the medicines and injections. I was also worried that my boss would kick me out of the job if I did not go on time.

I was thinking all these things, then suddenly I heard a voice and many people were running towards me. Some of them were wearing black dresses, like bodyguards. Are they coming for money? Oh no! I am dead! I can not pay them. I have to run. As soon as I tried to get up from the ground to escape from there, I saw a woman and man in front of me. They were looking at me with a very surprised expression, as if I was a ghost.

From the look of it, it seemed that their age would be around 40 years. They did not appear to be very old, but why are they looking at me this way? I did not understand anything. Do they want me to pay the money right now? How will I pay? Did they bring me here? To this house? And now as I have come to my senses they want money?

As soon as the woman saw me, she immediately ran to me, sat on her knees in front of me, and touched my face. She started crying after seeing me. I did not understand what happened to her.

Why is she crying after seeing me? Her entire face was filled with tears.

She was just looking at me, and was in no condition to say anything. I looked back at the man, and he was just looking at me too. I did not understand what I should do. Then suddenly the man came to the woman and placed his hand on her shoulder.

She grabbed my face with both hands and kissed my forehead.

“How are you? Are you okay? Why did you come out of your room? Why are you sitting here on the ground?” the woman asked me, and I was looking at both of them. I did not understand what I should answer, so I simply replied to her. But what does she mean in my room? That was not my room.

“Forgive me ma'am, I think you have a misunderstanding, that is not my room. Not only this room but this house is also not mine. I don't know how I came here but I want to leave here, " I told her in a simple tone, and took my face out of her hands. As soon as she listened to me, her face looked as if I had told her something that could not happen in this world.

"What are you saying? You can't leave from here," the man standing behind her said. He looked very serious.

His voice scared me. Why are these people not letting me go? As the man and woman looked at each other, I saw the chance to get up from the floor. I tried to run away from there, but the man with the woman ordered some people to catch me. They all looked like bodyguards. They caught me in a few seconds. They did not let me run. There were more than five and I was nothing in front of them. I was screaming loudly and was trying to get myself free.

The woman fell to her knees, sat on the ground, and started crying loudly. The man sat with her, watching everything with sad eyes. And he gave me the same sad look. I also saw tears in his eyes. What is going on? Why are both of them crying?

“Please stop crying. Let’s take her inside her room,” he said to the woman and she came to her senses. She nodded her head. They dragged me inside the same room because I was not willing to go back. I was trying to run away. Are they trying to kidnap me? Why?

He asked me to sit on the bed and I did what he was asking me. I could not understand what they wanted. They did not ask for any money till now. Then what do they want? The woman was still holding my hand, as if I would run away again. Well she was thinking right. I will run away as soon as I find an opportunity.

Doctors came in and started treating me. I was shocked to see doctors here. I mean, why would a doctor be here? At the same time I came to know that they were living in the other room. Why do doctors live here? Hearing this, the doctor became even more afraid that this was what the doctor was looking after me for. This means that the doctor would have received even more money. This means that these people are going to ask me for a huge amount.

I saw there were more than 5 doctors who came to check me. I was a little shocked to see all of them because they were treating me like I am a princess. They were holding my hand so gently and politely as if I was a glass doll. It felt weird.

They checked me for a few minutes and one of the doctors looked like he was senior to all of them. He looked at the woman and she started crying more. Honestly now her cry was bothering me. Because no one was saying anything, they all were behaving as if they didn't know how to speak. They all left the room and went outside to talk in private. I ran towards the door to hear their conversation.

"Doctor, what's going on? I don't understand anything. How did she finally get up from bed and walk like that all of a sudden? You said that she will never be able to walk in life, but I am happy that she is able to walk now. But she is constantly trying to escape from here. She is saying she has to leave from here," the woman shouted at the doctor. It sounded like the doctor was very nervous. It seemed as if the doctor is a slave to that woman.

"I also do not understand how this is possible. I was sure that she lost her leg after the accident. Her legs were practically rendered useless. She had gone into a coma. I am surprised to hear that she is trying to escape from here as it was impossible for her to walk. I am very surprised to see all this myself. Looking at her, it does not seem that this is the same girl who was in coma for the last 10 days, the one who jumped from that building and committed suicide. Forgive me, I have no answer to your question, but I can say that if she insists on running like this and she does not remember anything, then we might have to beg him for mental mantle,"

the Doctor replied.

After listening to what the doctor said, I was very surprised. This means that I had slept on this bed in this room, for more than 10 days. I was in a coma, and I also lost my legs? My legs were useless? It was very surprising, but it seemed to me that I probably opened my eyes after one day. Moreover, that accident happened to me sometime before.

But as soon as I heard the name of Mental Asylum I got nervous. The doctor clearly explained to her, and I heard their footsteps. I panicked. What will they do to me? Will they send me to a mental asylum?! No! I am not crazy. I moved away from the door and as they opened it I ran out of the room barefoot. As I ran only a few steps the same bodyguards caught me and sent me back to the room. I was still with these people. She came to me and sat beside me. But that man was standing there.

“I think there is a misunderstanding. Please let me go! I swear I am not crazy. No matter what, I will not go to a mental Asylum," I told her.

"Do not worry about it. Whether the whole world tells you anything or tries to send you anywhere, I will not let you get away from yourself. I will not let you go to the Mental Asylum as long as I am alive! I am your mother and I will not let you get away from me," The woman convinced me. I was surprised as soon as I heard that the woman is calling herself my mother.

“Oh...ok,” I said. I had no answer. Hearing her words, I had to believe her because the circumstances were such that I was unable to control it.

“Ok… no problem. I will tell you everything,” she said and tried to smile, but I could see she was very sad. I also smiled back to her a little and nodded my head.

“Your name is Anna Parker," she said, and I just wanted to laugh at myself. My name is Ava and this girl's name is Anna. Wow….

Should I call this destiny!

“He is your dad,” she said, and he came to me and hugged me. I felt strange because his hug was very warm. She also hugged me. They both hugged me together and I could not move. It was a strange but a good feeling. I only keep my hand on their back.

Now I have to act like their daughter if I want to run away from here. I am not feeling good, to like them, but if I tell them that I am not their daughter then maybe they will not believe me. Or they will think I am crazy. And the worst thing is maybe they will send me to a mental asylum, so it is better that I should play the role of their daughter.

I don’t know what will happen in the near future. Honestly I am very scared. It is not a good feeling. I will try to run away from here again. But it was all my misunderstanding. I think they knew I would try to run so they kept me under CCTV and bodyguards 24 hours. I was stuck here and could not run away.

In these 2 days I made every effort to run away from here, but I was caught every time and eventually I had to give up.

“I am very happy, you are not trying to run away from here,” mom said to me and I smiled at her. Now I call them mom and dad. First I was feeling awkward to call them mom and dad, because I am not used to this. I am orphaned. How can I suddenly call these unknown people mom and dad?

But that day she cried so much. She did not say anything to me but I peeped out of the room. Her husband tried to calm her and told her that I will call her mom one day. But as I was not calling her mom, she was losing her mind. So I decided to call her mom. Now it has been one week so it is not that awkward anymore.

And about running away, I had to give up because they always caught me. They did not let me come out of the room ever. I don't even know how this house looks. At that day I was dizzy so I could not see clearly.

I am going crazy thinking about going home. I don’t know where the hell I am going. It is not my home. I am feeling so bad to cheat them but what I can do. If I say that I am not their daughter they will not believe me. Plus, this girl’s mom is very sensitive. She will cry again. So I should keep my mouth shut and understand my surroundings.

Finally they let me out, as I promised not to run away from here and my eyes widened when I saw the house. It was not a house. It was a mansion. I blinked my eyes two, three times to accept this truth; that I am really going to live in this mansion. Mom and Dad both held my hand, and showed me around the mansion. I was between both of them. Honestly, I felt as if I was a five year old child. I can see they love Anna very much. Now I have become their princess.

I smiled to think about this. She was really a lucky girl. She had both a mom and dad. And they loved her very much.

I was about to faint when I saw the beauty of the mansion. How can she think about dying when she has so many things? She had a mother, a father, and money, so then why? What type of girl was she?

“Come with me, Anna. I will show you your real room,” mom said, and we started to walk up the stairs. It means that was not my real room? We entered the room and now I could not able to think anything because it was f*****g good and beautiful. I felt like it was a real princess' room!!!

Everything was beautiful and expensive. I did not touch anything. I was only looking. It does not belong to me after all. Mom looked at me with worried eyes and I understood she was going to cry again. I smiled at her and sat on the bed as if it was my own.

Now she smiled! I took a breath of relief. Thank God she did not cry, or I don’t know how I would handle her.

She told me that it is my room, and I can use anything. She told me about many things. I was listening to her carefully. She gave me a glass of water.

“Take a shower and change your clothes. We will go to a restaurant for family lunch,” she said with a smile and left the room.

I put the glass on the table and lay on the bed. So now I have to go to a family lunch. Well, I was hungry too. I went to take a shower and went to the wardrobe. As I opened the wardrobe I was shocked.

“What the hell is this!” I saw the clothes and got frustrated. I mean what kind of cloth is this?. I stood in front of a mirror, naked. And when I saw the clothes, I closed my eyes in anger.

“What the f**k! This girl used to wear this?! She has such a good figure, but she wears loose dresses as if she is a sixty years old granny!” I shouted in anger and threw the dress on the bed. I was not going to wear it. I saw other clothes. It was all the same.

After searching longer I found a loose top and a skirt. I looked at the dress helplessly and I had to wear it. I went to the mirror and saw it come down to my knees. I looked so bad. No one would say that I am Ava. I used to wear short pants or short skirts and tops. It was my liking. Now I can not understand why Anna’s clothes are so bad. She was so rich and yet she wears this.

I can understand the clothing thing, but what the hell is wrong with the hair? The hair falls over the face. How was she able to see? It looked like I wanted to hide my face. I tried to remove the hair but it again fell over my face. One thing I understood, was that Anna was totally a mess. She has such a beautiful face. I looked in a mirror. My face was not that beautiful, but this rich girl's face was very nice and smooth. Her body was also smooth and flexible.

I combed my hair and tried not to look that bad. I saw there was no clip. So it means she did not use hair clips. Now I have to go like this, like a ghost. I left my hair down and went out to the hall. I saw Mom and Dad waiting for me. She gave me another big hug. She gives me more than 100 hugs a day.

We sat in the car and went to a restaurant. Now I was not surprised to see this expensive restaurant. They are rich, so they will not eat anything from the stalls, like me. I have to adjust myself according to them or everything would be a mess.

We took a seat and I was looking around. The waiters were smiling at me and saying hello. I also said hello. It seemed like they were regular customers here. Mom gave me a menu and asked me what I want to eat. I saw the price and my jaw dropped. It was too expensive. I mean, how can Chinese food be so expensive? I was looking for a low priced food, and as I was about to tell Mom that I wanted fried rice, I was hugged from behind and the menu fell from my hand.

“My beautiful niece came here to meet me,” I heard a happy voice of the girl who was hugging me from behind.

I looked back to see her. She smiled at me brightly. She called me her niece, so that meant that she is Mom or Dad's sister, but she looked young. Maybe she is two or three years older than me. But she called me her beautiful niece. Is she joking with me? I look messy and she is calling me beautiful? She came around in front of me and took a seat.

She gave me a big smile. I also smiled back but did not say anything.

“How did you come here suddenly? You were out for an office trip, when did you come back??” Dad asked her.

"Yes, I have just returned a little while ago. I was about to come home, but suddenly the boss invited all of us here for lunch. I'm here for lunch with my boss,” she told Dad, and I saw that when she was talking about her lot, she had a different glow in her eyes. At the same time, I felt as if she was telling me this thing in particular.I found her behavior very strange.

“Now will you come with us home or will you go with your fellow workers?” Mom asked her.

“I will be with them. I will come home soon, don’t worry,” she said.

We were eating the food and I saw it was a happy family. They all were talking and laughing. I only nodded my head as they were talking to me or asking me something. I did not know anything, so I was talking less. Alice was serving me food too. We finished our food and suddenly Dad got a call.

“We have to go to the office. There is some important issue,” Dad told Mom.

“But what should we do with Anna?” she said, and I saw they do not want to leave me alone. I was about to say that I will go back home on my own but Alice spoke up first.

“Don’t worry about her. I will bring her home.” She assured them that she will take care of me and bring me home, so they left. But before leaving, they bought me ice cream. Seriously I felt good. I felt like I was a child.

I was holding the ice cream and watching Mom and Dad leave. I wish both of them were my parents, and it came to me that I knew it would never happen.

I saw Alice leaving from there as she was looking for something or someone. she was messaging too. what's wrong? she was looking nervous. suddenly I felt like someone is around me. I felt someone eyes on me. what is this feeling? what is this? I shivered and felt cold.

I saw that she was leaving, leaving me alone. I immediately started following her because I did not know the way here. This place was completely different for me because I lived in another city and this city was completely different for me.

I still had ice cream in my hand and I saw it was melting. As I was eating it Alice turned back to see me. She snatched the ice cream from my hand and threw it on the ground.

“Oh… no I am sorry. I made a mistake!” She deliberately snatched my ice cream from my hand and threw it down, and she behaved like it was a mistake.

‘What kind of cheap joke is this?’ I thought in my mind. I looked down at my ice cream and when I lifted my head up she vanished. I looked around but she was nowhere. Honestly I panicked. Where the hell did this girl vanish to? How can she leave me here? I do not know where to go.

I started to search for her and went straight. It was the end of the play area. There was a big door in front of me and it was a ghost-house type of place. ‘Did she come here?’ I thought, and decided to peep in but there was only darkness. Suddenly I felt someone was behind me. As I was about to turn around, they pushed me inside and the doors closed.

As soon as I took the next step, I suddenly bumped into someone. I was about to fall but the person caught me. I opened my eyes slowly. I knew I was going to fall hard on the floor. As I opened my eyes, they met with brown eyes staring right into mine. It was dark, but I could see his eyes. My eyes widened in shock . Because I recognized those eyes.

I felt like time stopped as our eyes met. Suddenly, I looked around myself and saw that now it was no longer the dark room in the restaurant; rather it was the orphanage. My whole body shivered in fear as I found myself in a place which was a nightmare for me.

I found my whole body in this orphanage again. How is this possible? I was in that very garden. I looked down at myself and I really was in the orphanage. I wanted to shut my eyes tightly. No! I don’t want to be here again. No, I do not want to face it again. I felt the familiar touch of his. I was not able to see him but I was able to feel his touch.

I closed my eyes. I did not want to open my eyes in this place. This place was the worst place of my life. It was my nightmare.
