Getting strength from Eshan's assurance, I held his hand. Squeezing it once, I nodded my head at him.
"Ayush, you stay out of this." This time the person who said this was Sameer.
I slightly shifted in Eshan's arms. The sight of five people standing before me startled me. Three of them were known faces as I had seen them often in this very own house- Sameer, Barun, and Sahil. While the person in the wheelchair was someone I recently encountered. His appearance at my home shocked me. My body unconsciously stiffened at the sight of the man who had kidnapped me.
The memory of those men hitting Eshan.
Visual of that dark room.
Those ten hours spent tied on the chair, alone, helpless, scared.
The violence transpired before my eyes and the man who did that.
Everything was playing before my eyes.
Those twelve hours spent in utter helplessness, without Eshan suddenly were gaining on me.
