Shadows.....

Creepy laughter's......

Someone was pulling her to one side. It was too loud and crowdy everywhere. People were chatting and partying merrily. A hand kept pulling her delicate arm. She whimpered at the harsh touch as her skin turned into a reddish shade. But the other party was too much powerful. She tried gripping door knob with her fading senses. Mouth was dry till throat. She wanted to shout for help. As she opened her mouth a small mewl escaped from her mouth. Helplessness was making her cry. God make someone notice this! Yet she forgot she was standing among zombies. The one who turns blind eye to abuse is worst than an abuser. Still very few step up.

Felicity take it easy. It because of alcohol.

She heard a familiar voice.

Milly!

She smiled and crashed into her arms. She felt someone lifting her.

Syncope!

Felicity stirred awake. Crimson red flash of sunlight was coming from the window. It was early in the morning. She let out a labored breath. Things were now falling in their place. A drop of tear rolled off from her cheek. She never understood tears. She lacked warmth but those tears were so warm and loose.

Is no one real?

Is everything fake?

Is no one mine?

Am I not worth to be held and cherished?

It wasn't the matter of a day or a month. Years of deceits and lies; was that for real. How will I trust people now?

What will I do if this gets out?

How will I face everyone?

Felicity was distraught in her thoughts. Drop of warm saline fell from her crystal eyes one by one. She felt alone and vulnerable. Pain was tearing her apart. The perfect duo fell. Promises fell apart. The cloak of love and security was tattered in mere seconds. She felt like she was sitting topless in a room full of people and all of them were laughing at her. Phone was continuously screeching in melancholic air of room. She attended it in frustration.

Hello! Felicity speaking

I cant believe you did that to Emily unnie

Maisie please listen

You are disgusting. Roger is half of your age. I cant believe you were lusting over him

Maisie its not like that; let me explain

Milly unnie explained me everything about how fancy you looked last night. Even my dad said you wanted this marriage. Proposal came from your side.

Maisie I didnt know promise

Wow really then why were you all dressed up last night

Felicity's lip quivered as she choked on a sob. Assumptions and judgement destroy relationships; this much she was aware of but she didnt knew about gaslighting. The hidden tricks of Satan and devils.

From now on we have no relationship with you. You are dead for us.

The line disconnected after this. Felicity sat there with a blank mind staring towards phone in her hand. Relationships are easiest to make yet difficult to maintain. She dialed Felicity's number but it was powered off. She wiped off her face.

I gotta talk to her once. I will set everything right. She can have Roger. I belong to Min only.

While supporting himself with the wall; he peeked outside. Sun was rising. A drop of warm liquid fell from his eyes. He remembered same beautiful voice. He tried lifting himself up but the chains were too tight. The drug messed up with his brain a lot. Still he remembered a faint image in his mind playing a piano. He rubbed his eyes and sat back on dried grass massaging his bruised legs. Door opened with a loud thud revealing a fat man holding a bowl. He placed bowl infront of him

Food time puppy!

He examined the outsider really carefully.

Hands check

Legs check

Face check
