A Heart Yearning For Love. ch.5

Two years later

Note: Kiara is 18 and Ishaan, Vihaan and Ishaani are 20 years old...

Kiara Oberoi (fl)

*The sunlight cascaded through the curtains and fell on her face. And she groaned and turned around only to find her alarm vibrating*

Time was up and she had to wake up and go about her day sacrificing her peaceful sleep.

Kiara Oberoi (fl)

Stupid sun! Why does it have to raise soo early! *pout*

Kiara Oberoi (fl)

*stares at the ceiling silently *

Realization hits hard... Realising that you're alone even though you have everyone...

She woke up to silence so heavy it pressed on her chest like a second blanket. No footsteps in the kitchen. No clatter of mugs. Just the hum of refrigerator and the ache of an empty side of bed. The morning sunlight spilled across the room in golden streaks, but it felt theatrical like it was pretending to be good day.

the coffe was already made. The maids had prepared the breakfast and left. As she lifted her coffee mug steam curled in the air like a ghost's breath.

Note: ** for action [ ] for thoughts (or i may use 💭💭emojies)

Kiara Oberoi (fl)

💭They had been here. They have left. AGAIN.💭

No words. No note. No warmth. Just the echo of the presence left behind that never truly stayed.

But maybe- just maybe - one day they'd notice her. One day they'd sit down at the table with her, call her by her name like family does and become the family that she'd always imagined in her head.

She clutched that thought like a thread keeping it stitched together. She took a breath, fixed herself in the mirror, and told herself the same thing she always did

Kiara Oberoi (fl)

YOU ARE OK. YOU ARE STRONG. JUST INE MORE DAY.💭

And with that she grabbed her bag and left for college, carrying her hope like armor no one could see.

Her family was rich, in fact her father was one of the richest businessman in the country, she had everything - money, house, food, jewelries, access to all the top clubs, spa's, resorts, hotels, parks, etc. other people would have killed to have the life she had, but, it all meant nothing to her. All she wanted was to be felt loved, to be felt belonged, to fell someone's care; which she never got. " She had everything yet nothing."

She always wondered why her elder siblings were doted and loved by her parents and she was shoved aside and ignored.

She had heard her own mother calling her a bad luck once, but, she was never able to understand why ; she always wondered if she had committed any mistake or sin, but , she couldn't remember any such incident and at a point she believed her mother's words and considered herself as a bad luck. She also believed she had made some mistake and started to do everything to please her parents-like waking up early and making breakfast for everyone, trying to help them in their work, cleaning their belongings and keeping them safe, she did every little thing just gain a little bit of attention and care from them. In the end all her hard work went to vain as they thought it was done by the maids, obviously who would imagine a little girl cleaning and cooking in such a rich household.

Vihaan Malhotra (Ml)/Rudra

Ek jalak teri jo dekhi hai… jaise andheron mein koi roshni ka paimana, Magar woh roshni bhi zehr nikli— dil aur chaain chura ke le gayi, Aur mujhe ek khaali, thandi laash bana gayi. Junoon hai humari mohabbat… khoon se likhi hai ye lakeer hai, Jise todne ki sochi bhi toh, khoon khud aag ban jaata hai, Darte hain ki kahin is junoon mein, teri zulfon mein ulajh kar, Tujhe hi na phoonk daalein… aur us dhuae mein khud bhi na mar jaayein. Kisi aur ke nahi ho sakte hum — na jeete hue, na maut ke baad, Na aapke... aur naa apko kisi aur ke hone de sakte hain, Aur agar kabhi ho bhi gayi... Toh bas itna samajh lena — sati ke jal ne mahakaal ne kiya tandav duniya ka anth tha nishchith lekin mahakaal ko rokne ke liye the narayan par iss duniya ko jalane se hume rokne wala koi nahi hoga..

Vihaan Malhotra (Ml)/Rudra

Translation: That one glimpse of you… Was like a chalice of light in the depths of darkness, But even that light turned out to be poison — You stole my heart and my peace, And left me a hollow, cold corpse. This love of mine is an obsession… a line etched in blood, Even the thought of breaking it turns that blood into fire. I fear that in this very madness, tangled in your tresses, I might burn you to ashes… And in that smoke, burn myself alive too. I can’t belong to anyone else — not in life, not even in death, Not yours… and I won’t let you belong to anyone else either. And if someday you do… Then just know this: When Sati burned, Mahakaal danced his tandav — The end of the world was certain, yet even Mahakaal was stopped by Narayan. But if I choose to set this world ablaze… There will be no Narayan to stop me...
