The Only String Attached

"I am angry with you. And I have a good reason to be angry with you", I shouted.

Now her eyes started to water. I looked at Mahira and she was sleeping. I took her to my room and made her sleep on my bed.

I went back to hall and saw she was going to her room.

"Don't you dare walk away now", telling that I grabbed her hand and pinned to the wall again.

"Mahir please....you are hurting me", she said trying to come out of her grip.

I loosened my grip on her.

"Mahir don't be angry on me", she said rubbing her wrists.

"I am not angry,I'm in pain. And you put me here", I yelled and my eyes started to pool.

"Life is pain. I woke up every morning , I'm in pain. I got to work in pain. You know how many times I've just wanted to give up? How many times I have thought about ending it"? Bela yelled with anger and her eyes flowing continuously.

I removed my hands from either side of her from the wall.

She thought about ending herself?

She stared at me and left to her room closing the door with a bang.

"Fuck!", I shouted and went to my room.

BELA

I came into my room banging the door. I myself decided to tell him everything. But I loose all my guts looking at him. I just can't say it out.

He will feel guilty if I say about that situation.

After hearing the news of their marriage, I was broken beyond repair.
I was sleeping in my room and Bani di came inside disturbing my sleep.

"Bela where were you"?she said hugging me.

"Ahh..", I hissed in pain when she touched my shoulder.

"Bela what happened? You're shoulder is bruised", she said while her eyes welling up.

"Its just a small scratch", I said coldly.

"Bela"?my sister called.

"Are you angry on me"? she asked.

"No di. I'm fine. It's just.... just a headache", I said turning to other side.

"Did you take medicine"? she asked.

"I'm fine. Don't worry about me. You have many people around to worry about", I said and regretted the next moment.

I turned around and looked at her. Her eyes were flowing.

"Di I'm...I'm sorry. Just I'm not well now", I said.

She wiped her tears and left my room. I started crying again. I just taunted my sister. I should leave as soon as possible before I mess up their life.

I checked my phone and saw  hundred plus text messages and few missed calls from Mahir.

I ignored them and went back to sleep.

I left early to the college to avoid Bani di.

I was completing my assignment and saw Mahir coming towards me. I packed my things and started moving before he come to me.

"Bela..wait", telling that he grabbed my hand.

"Mahir.. I'm .. I'm busy now", I said.
