Chapter 46
[A/N: Akku, I don't know where you got this idea from, but this series will be nowhere near the end when it reaches 50, sweetie. I never said this was ending. Nia just commented somewhere that almost all my Kria's are really dumb, and that's when I laughed out till my tummy hurt, realizing she was absolutely 100 percent correct! :P Yogini, How can I ever scold you..? And no, she didn't make an excuse, she really had a job to do..]
He sat there for a while, shivering. It was not like he did not know this side of her. But then, it wasn't normal to really know this side of her and not react. He was human after all, how could he not shiver knowing another human's life was getting over as he sat like a stone here.
He got up, dusting the mud off of his jeans, and started strolling back to his place. It was still pretty dark, and he doubted anyone would know his absence from the Haveli.
The fireflies had seemed to resonate his reaction, as they now hovered and tailed him, instead of following her in the lake. So, these creatures knew as well.
How ironic.
Human race considered itself on top of the intellectual pyramid, yet, when it came down to such things, it was the animal instinct inside that you relied on most.
He sighed as he saw the Haveli coming into view, and made his way inside.
It seemed all the servants were asleep, even the watchman was slightly dozing at the main gate. Still, as a precaution, he took light steps inside, not to disturb or get caught.
He was on his way to his room, when the dreaded room where he did not want to go to, was filled with voices.
Unable to contain his curiosity, he went nearby his mother's room, only to see what that strange sound was.
His heart ached at the scene he saw, and he wished and prayed that he never saw it again. His father was crying relentlessly, his eyes red, throat hoarse, his frame shaking, holding onto his mother's arm.
