We exit from the college and we almost reached our destination. Before further move, he stopped me.
" Hey, stop."
" what happened?"
" I want to spend time with you."
" yah, it is dark enough go."
" But..... Do you feel hungry? We will go and eat, come."
" Grey, what happened to you? Are you crazy."
" Bency, please come with me."
" yah, ok but... restaurant food will not be good for my health."
" just one day. please."
" ok, lets go."
We two ate our dinner and came out.
" Do you like it?"
" yes."
" This is the best bobbique."
" yes it is. I like the desert."
He nodded and we started to ride. But again he stopped me.
" Now what Grey?"
" Bency, see the view it's amazing."
"Yes, see the light of moon it's stunning."
" you know Bency, The moon is full of imperfections but it's still beautiful and a pleasure to watch."
" yes, Moon is covered by a rubble pile of charcoal-gray, powdery dust and rocky debris called the lunar regolith."
" Huh???"
" yah, Don't look at me like that. I love science and good in it. But when it comes to English, I am just dumfounded."
" Nevermind."
" Science is life."
" Just stop your lecture you devil, see how romantic the view is."
" Yes it is."
" Can I hold your hand?"
" Hey, it is not rollercoaster. Then why are you scared?"
" you dick head, do you know the meaning of romance."
" I really don't know. So, let's go."
" Just wait some more minutes."
" Grey, it's already late."
" I don't know what happened to me. I want you to stay with me forever."
" I will stay with you, But you should wait for the right time."
" Bency, do you love me?"
" I do."
" really?"
" You coconut head. I love you more than anything. I won't leave. I have only one cotton candy in my life and that's you. Enough????"
"( chuckles) Ok , I will soon make you mine."
" let me see."
" One day you will be mine and you can't escape from me."
" Same here. You can't escape from me too."
We two started the ride and I reached my home.
Bency's pov
Again no one is there? Why this room is hella dark? Did they forget their own daughter's Birthday. I know them, they forgot it. I let out big sigh and tears were escaping from my eyes. I went to my room and drifted to sleep.

So, from tomorrow onwards exam will starts. But me, I am not good. I am feeling bad, because my parents were fighting. I can't bare this. What if they get divorced. No, it can't be. I left my thought when Tom called me.

I just nodded.
" why are you not replying to me. Are you ok?"
" yes, I'm ok."
" ok it's time. Let us go home early, then we can do our revision better."
I nodded and I about to exit from the college. I saw Grey is waiting for me. so, I went near him.
" Bency, come I am waiting for you ."
I looked at him.
" Why pie? Are you feeling good? Is anything bothering you?"
" I am good."
" Why are you looking pale?"
" No I am good."
" ok then, prepare for your exam. Go home early pie. Study well."
" Yes Senior."
He kissed my cheeks and left from there.

I entered my home. Again I only hear the quarrels. My parents are again arguing.
" Mom, please stop. I am scared."
" Bency, go to your room."
" But, please don't argue. I want you both. please don't get divorce."
" I said go to your room." she shouted at me and that makes me cry. Soon, I left from there.
Why it always happen to me. I am unlucky. I want my parents with me. This thoughts are hitting me. How I can study now.
Time skip- Morning
I wake up when sunlight hit my face. I headed to downstairs to see no one. My eyes where red and I look pale because of sobbing. I need to go to college, after all I have exam today. I let out a big sigh and I exit from my home.
At college
Bency's pov
Everyone is sitting on their seats. professor is distributing the papers. I can't concentrate on my paper. My thinking is always about my parents. I write few questions and after that I was not in the earth. I was stuck in my own thoughts. After bell rang I handover the paper and left from there. I see Grey waiting outside.
" Bency, I saw the question paper. It is really easy. How did you wrote?
I didn't said anything And I moved out from there. I can hear that he is calling my name. But I didn't response anything.
Time skip- one week later
I didn't write my exam well, now I am standing in balcony watching the vehicles moving in the road. I heard my mom calling me. I entered there and saw my mom and dad holding some papers in their hand. After seeing that I came to know what was the next scene.
" Bency, look we are going to get divorce."
I didn't said anything. I kept a poker face.
" sweetie, I know it's hard for you. But what we can do?"
I looked my dad with expressionless face.
Bency's pov
Bency do something or else they will get divorced. What can I do now? think think ... think something Idiot,. I can arrest them with my feelings, I mean emotional blackmail. Yes I got it.
Suddenly..... I fell on the ground and I acted like I get stock. My parents were chasing to me with shocked expression in their face. I feel proud for my acting skills. my mom spoke.
" This is all because of you ( pointing my dad)"
" It's all because of us. Come take her, I will start the car. let us take her to hospital."
" Yes, go."
What hospital? oh my god. what can I do now.
They took me to hospital and I am still acting and one positive thing is I am at my aunt hospital, so I can tell her. what is this acting for. My mom and dad is waiting outside. My aunt is checking me and I opened my eyes.
" Bency, are you alright? But nothing serious with you then why your parents took you here?"
" Aunt, I need your help."
" what is that?"
I tell her everything about their divorce idea.
" So, this is the reason you are here. I think you are a good actor."
" Yes, But help me with this. Tell my parents about I have depression about something so I got panicked and I am very weak."
" You are weak Bency."
" Is I am that much ?"
" Yes, take care of you."
" I don't want them to get divorce."
" I really help You. I know my brother that means your dad, he loves you more than anything so, your emotional blackmail will get success."
" I know." - my aunt left from there to see my parents.
" what happened to her?"
" She got panicked."
" oh my god this is all because of your brother."- ( pointing Bency's dad)
" Yes, I am the reason. I am killing my own daughter. It's all my fault." - (crying hard)
" Brother stop, don't curse on yourself. You still have time. You can fix everything."
" Yes, sorry hubby. I crossed my limits so it's all happen. I won't fight with you. I don't want my daughter to suffer."
" I still love you. you only asked me divorce. I think you are not happy with me. so, I ready to give you divorce but in heart I was suffering like a hell. Let's fix it come."
By seeing this, Bency's aunt laughed silently.
I waited for my parents to come. When I hear the door opening sound I closed my eyes.
" Hubby, she is still sleeping."
" See, how cute she is? but we two make her cry. "
" I love you Bency."
Bency's pov
My heart is paining. I want to see you both happy so I did this all. please forgive me dad and mom. I love you . Suddenly I feel wet in my hand and I slightly open my eyes and that's my dad he is crying by holding my hand. So, I stopped my acting and I opened my eyes.
" Bency, how are you now?"
"Mom, don't get divorced. Don't fight."
" Shhhh... baby we are not getting divorced. We will be always with you. sorry dear, I didn't take care you this whole week. We two regret it for what we done."
I looked at my dad and he spoke while holding my hand.
" I love you sweetie, we won't repeat it. please forgive us. You are our treasure. See how weak you became. I promise you I will spend time with you and take care of you."
" Thank you mom and dad. But if you repeat this again I won't forgive you guys."
They two nodded.
" Mom, take me home. I am not feeling better here."
" ok dear, aunt said you are weak. So I will take care of you. Hubby before we go home let's buy some fruits for her."
" Yeah sure, we buy some chocolate too." - smiled at me.
" Chocolates, chocolates"- I shouted happily.
We get out from the hospital and my dad get me chocolates and fruits. I am really happy that this plan worked well. I ate my dinner and layed in the bed in relief. At this time some words come to my mind that is" nothing is permanent in life, like sorrows and happiness. yesterday in this same bed I cried but now I happy. So nothing is permanent, so don't stuck with your sorrow's everything will be fine soon."
Time skip - morning
I headed downstairs to see my parents sitting in the couch.
" Good morning dear" my dad greeted me.
" Good morning dad"
I looked my mom she smiled at me.
" Bency, don't skip your breakfast. Dad and me were going to your grannie's home for some reasons. we will come early to home so don't worry."
" ok mom, Bye."
I waved my hands to them and ate my breakfast, headed to the college. I went into the college and I see Tom. He sadly come towards me.
" what happened Tom?"
" Our results were out."
" oh, I didn't write my exam well."
" I too.'
" Is that so, did you see my result?"
" yes."
" did I pass in all subjects?"
He kept quiet. I sighed.
" what about you?"
" I failed in one subject."
" you? failed?" - I widened my eyes. he nodded.
" what about me?"
" You failed in two."
" Thank god only in two subjects."
" why are you thanking God for this?"
" Nothing Tom. Leave it just an assessment test."
He nodded again.
" What about Sheeba?"
" yah, that idiot didn't even passed in one subject."
" What?" - I am shocked.
" ok let's go. there is no class today."
" No class?"
" Professors are engaged in meeting."
" That's cool."
we two walked to our class.
I saw Sheeba is crying while talking to his boyfriend. I asked Tom what happened?
" She just said her results to his boyfriend and he is comforting her. How dramatic."
" yah, stop. Talk slowly."
He looked away and I looked out. Grey will kill me if he know about this. I looked down while playing with my fingers. Suddenly students greeted someone and I look straight to see that person. It's Grey.
" Everyone take your seats. Don't be formal."
I looked him and suddenly he came towards me. I gulped and look down.
" Bency, come out."
" No, I am not coming."
" Don't make me repeat."
I didn't say anything.
suddenly he slammed the bench make everyone flinch. without any hesitation I ran out of the class before him. I saw him following him. So, I run fast. Bency run to save your life. Before further move I was caught.
" see, what a good Athlete you are?"
" Leave me, I want to go."
" Run as if you can."
" let me go."
" you may. Before that...."
" What?"
" how did you wrote your exam and how much you scored."
I didn't reply to him.
" You, open your mouth."
" I didn't write my exam well."
" why?"
" I didn't study properly."
" But I taught you everything and you failed again. That questions are easy too."
( I don't want him to know about my family issue so I kept quiet about that incident.)
" Grey, you taught me, but I can't answer every questions properly. Might be this question paper is easy for you but my class incharge itself admits that this is the toughest question paper that they set in this university."
" oh, toughest one. Is there any out of syllabus in that question paper?"
" No."
" Then how you can say it is toughest."
" I don't want to argue with it."
" Don't show your face to me hereafter. It's annoying."
" But ..... "
" I wasted my time on teaching an Idiot like you."
" Me Idiot???"
" yes, you."
" Grey, I won't repeat it again."
" Don't utter a word. I don't want you in my life. Go away."
" Don't say like this Grey."
" Don't call me by my name. I don't know why the hell I loved you. But from now on I won't." - he pushed me away left from there.
Chapter 15
" Grey look at me. Speak with me, don't give this silent treatment. I can't take it anymore. I will study hard try to understand me." - To be continued.
