Rudra's mother was in front of his door, holding a dinner plate in her hands. She was usually very kind, supportive and caring.
She saw her child covered I'm sweat, his eyes moist, a knife in his hands that he tried his very best to hide but nothing about him could ever hide from her.
She choose not to react and see what he was up to and how he will manage it all.
"I came to give dinner, but Gosh.. Look at you you are all covered in sweat, and why are your eyes red, " She inquired, even though she knew he would not say it.
" Nothing just tried to push myself in workout, and suffered a very nasty ctamp in leg " he said, believing that this excise is enough.
" Ok, then take a bath, and eat your food," she said not wanting to disrput him.
" Ok mom, I will and I am very sorry mom " he admitted.
She smiled but still asked " Why though it's not like you committed a crime " she said.
" Look at the mess, I made. But I promise to clean it. " he said in a hurry to not not arise Suspection.
" Well then, okay good night and do not axt to recklessly " she said and left his room.
Rudra went to bathroom, open shower and look to jsi reflection at the mirror .
Usually he always look at his reflectwd during shower as he has a habit of sjoweing after workouts , but this time it was different, he looked at himself with all the hate he could muster.
He raised his hand upwards and,
SLAAP. aloud noice roared in the small room , je just slapped himself, .
SLAP ,again.
SLAP ,AGAIN.
Finally he stopped. ' WHAT WERE YOI THINKING, JUST DIE FOR A DOUBLE FACED GIRL, DO YOU NOT THINK OF YOUR MOTHER, HOW SHE WILL REACT, DID YOU FORGET HER SACRIFICES, HER STRUGGLES AND EVERY TIME
SHE STOOD UP FOR YOU' he said to himself.
His eyes we're full of hate, hate for himself, his action how easily he was fooled, and how easily his recleckness would have destroyed his mom and his father .
But then he feel ik the floor, he cried and cried till all no more tears fell from his eyes.
He then completed his task and quickly left his washroom.
Unknown to him, there was someone who was watching him, to be clear her mother was watching him, as a mother she couldn't stop from fearing no matter how strong she is, but her son is his weakness, firstly she was schooed at his out burst, but his action made her proud. She knew that her son has grown up, no more now he is a recless fool who can be easily fooled.
Satisfied she left his room as quietly as she entered.
Now coming back to Rudra, after dinner, he went to sleep, but again he could not sleep he thought of many things , he felt many things today, it was to much for his brain to handle.
He was shocked, Decieeved, betrayed, fooled and nearly died today. So much for a holiday.
He opened his gallery in his phone, and started deleting everything that reminded him of her, soon more than half of his gallery was clear.
He slowly drifited to sleep, but each time jer face keep revolving around him.
He wa sure, if he saw her now, he would beat her till her face is unrecognizable, he would kill her friends for saying all those things about her family.
But, then he received a messege, it was from her mother, she had sent an image to him.
Tempted to see, he opened it, it was a picture of Lord Shiva and Mata Parvati together sitting . They were smiling at him.
He felt an unnatural calmness, all his emotions seems to lut of control, but all he wa feeling was unnaturally calming and feeling of being wanted and loved.
Their eyes staring right at him as if staring at his soul, discovering his every secret.
It's felt so good, so calm, soon tears came out of his eyes , this time even he didn't realised he only noticed it when he felt something cold I'm his hands, they were his tears, socking his shirt.
But still his only focus was on the image, in front on him.
"Ple,.. Please, help me , save me " he barely muttered and drifted to sleep.
The screen of his phone qs awake for two minutes and them there was darkness everywhere.
