Chapter 48

[A/N: I really have nothing to say, except KAL SUNDAY HAI!]


He hurried towards his room, the other he had just been into making him suffocated. He really just wanted to go sleep now, before the horrifying thoughts haunted him.

He slammed his room's door, unmindful of the hour at which he was making such a loud noise. Somebody for sure must have woken up, was his afterthought.

He pulled off the choking muffler around his neck, and without another thought, slammed down on the bed face first. He sighed into the pillow and his feet kicked off the leather boots by themselves.

Snuggling into his age old companion, the blanket, he wished for sleep to elude him now. And without much effort, sleep came by too.

Ewww, yeh woh haveli mei rehte hue bhi kitna ganda hai, the kids exclaimed.

Reyaansh, you are a disappointment to your family, his teacher berated.

Tujhe dost ki kya zarurat? Paisa fenk tamaasha dekh, a teenage 'friend' smirked.

Tu kyun mehnat karega? Paisa kam ho gaya kya?, another blank face seemed to say.

He choked in his sleep, sweat covering his face, pooling around his brows, and he moved his head to and fro, not wanting to face it all.

He felt no breath coming down his windpipe and woke up with a jolt.

Hot tears gushed down his face, reliving his dreaded childhood. He knew he never should have come here ever. He knew he had made a mistake. And now, he was facing the consequences.
