SAMEERA
There is this sound that I heard from a distant place , maybe a vase breaking downstairs , I woke up from my bed , searching for my mom.
"Mamma..."
There is no answer , where is my mother ? , everywhere is dark , I can't see anything , I want my mom and dad.
"Mamma...Papa.."
Where did my parents go leaving me here , they never left me alone , whenever there is a power cut , I would find mom immediately by my side , now where is she?
"Ahh......"
Mamma , it's my mother's voice , I hear it coming from the downstairs , did she fall somewhere , was she searching for me ?
Searching and searching maybe she got stuck by the table , by which I always fall , now my mom will know I didn't intentionally fall here and there.
"Aah....."
Why is there stairs here , my house doesn't have stairs here , well I will ask dad to change it , It made me fall down....
"Sameeraaaa"
I heared my mom shouting my name in the dark , suddenly all the lights went on , blood there was a lot of blood everywhere , my mom , my dad..
" Sameera , run ,run "
I felt a hard thing hit me , on my forehead....
"Aaahhh......"
My eyes are open , but I can't see or feel anything except for the throbing pain on my forehead , I couldn't breathe properly , there is blood , blood everywhere.
No , no , my mom , my dad , aahhhh , the pain only increases on my forehead , drops of tear fell from the corner of my eyes , I can't breathe , I can't even take a breath.
My medicine , where is it ? I need them now , I tried my best to got up from the bed , I couldn't , my body felt paralized , everywhere I turn is filled with blood , my parents blood.
I am continuously trying to move , but my body is as paralized as a stone.
"Sameeerraa , run , run..
" Choose one princess"
No , No , this is not true , it's all my dream , it's all just my imagination , I assured myself ,I have to reach my medicine inorder to stop the pain.
Controlling my breath , I tried to even it out.
Inn..
Out..
Inn..
Out..
I could finally move my hand , with the pain on my head going to the point of breaking , my hands finally reached the medicine , I took hand full of it , the bottle slipped from my hand , falling to the floor breaking into pieces.
I swallowed the medicine as I am used to it now.
I slowly felt my hands and legs , my breathe even outs , and the pain that scar brought reducing.
Finally , I could move my hands and legs at my will , I scooped into myself trying to escape the pain.
The ache of losing my parents , my family , my everything in a night.
I don't want to see the same red on my hands , I don't want to hear their screams to live , I don't want this.
The feeling of having everything yet nothing , the haunting dreams of past , a cold reminder of what awaits her in that house.
I will never let her suffer the same fate as me.
I too want to come out of this never ending misery , but then again I am a princess who could not even sleep without pills , without that pain.
Slowly my eyelids become heavy , as the medicine started to show it's effect , I driffted off into the welcoming darkness.

* After a week *
I already got late to the function , and I don't know where Aman is now , walking on hurried steps I searched for him on my way.
The only trusted ally of mine , who now manages the Rathore enterprises.
Beleiving someone too much is like going into the sea without a boat knowing you will drown , but I do beleive him , because he will never betray me as he knows me well to know I will burn him alive otherwise.
" Aa...Fuck"
In my urgencies to go , I didn't even pin the duppata correctly , it is getting into my feet while walking.
I was correcting it , the lock to the front door got opened and in came Aman with my medicines.
After that night I didn't got paralyzed again , though the dreams continued , to be safe I asked him to buy the medicines , to take them with me.
"Well , you came on time , put the medicines on my car." I said wearing my heels.
He didn't move from his place , looking at me strangely.
"what?"
"You got paralyzed again Sameera."
It wasn't a question but a statement.
"What do you want Aman?"
"I just wish you take care of yourself before others , I wish to see you smile atleast for once." he stated his concern for me.
But for me it's more like warning , the girl who fell for words is long dead.
"Don't act like my brother , and do your job."
He heaved a sigh , and went in to take my keys , I don't know if he really cares for me or not , but what I do know is not to risk it.
Falling for one's care is as lethal as drinking poison from flower , you will never know when you will cross the limit or when it will kill you.
Maybe he won't be taking that long to backstap me , proving me right.
"You sure want to do this?"
He asked once he got my keys and medicine ready.
"As sure as I can be."
Taking the keys and medicine , I went for my car , driving to my destination , THE SINGHANIA MANSION.
Afterall it's Vansh Singhania's sangeet , we are going to.
I came to the venue after a short drive of 45 minutes , the mansion is fully decorated with flowers and lights, enhancing it's magnificent structure.
Reminding of how the Rathore mansion once was.
The security permitted my entry after I showed them the card , the card which Armaan gave me.
I stopped right at the doorframe , every corner was filled with people , some who I know , some who I didn't .
But judging from the crowd , we can conclude there is only people of importance present here , like those who are important to Singhania's
"Sameera."
Suddenly hearing my name in a voice which I don't recognize , I turned back to look at worst of my nightmares....
