Chapter 202 - How Things Fell Apart (6) (2/2)
”Yeah, you all people seem to harbor misunderstanding towards me only. What wrong did I do to you? Huh? I'm trying to live my life, but you don't seem to like it. Will all of you be happy if I kill myself?” The wave of anger and helplessness washed over me, making me lose my senses for a moment.
”INNAYA,” Karan yelled loudly.
His yell reminded me of what I was talking about. I bit my lip, turning my eyes away from him to the Fortune who was being guarded against Karan. Karan's loud yell had startled him. I petted his head, trying to calm him down.
I had seen Eshan doing that. I had never seen Fortune in a guarded manner. Eshan had told me that the pets could sense the emotions of the owner. So, when they were stressed, it was a good thing to remain calm.
By being close to Fortune, I was trying to feel close to Eshan. It was foolish of me. I knew, but I could not help but seek safety with Fortune. Unlike other related people to Eshan, Fortune had never hurt me.
The severity of the words I had spoken in anger was dawning on me, making me feel ashamed for even having the thought of dying. How could I make a mockery about my life?
Karan stood up, glaring momentarily at me before his eyes softened. ”Stop talking rubbish. How could you say something like that? I know I was wrong, but that was a misunderstanding. I never wanted to hurt you. I would never hurt you. What happened? Why are you so stressed? Let me call Eshan. Talk to him, you'll feel better.”
”No. Don't call him,” I turned to him and almost yelled. However, I was late for he had already dialed Eshan's number.
Ignoring the drip or my aching body, I got down from the bed and snatched the mobile out of his hand, promptly disconnecting the call.
”Careful.”
I moved out of Karan's reach as he tried to hold my staggering figure. I slumped on the bed once I achieved my motive.
Right now, I was not in the proper mind-set. How could I talk to Eshan when I knew I would end up crying? What I would tell him about his mother's intention? It was not clear to me yet.
I wanted to let him know the truth. But, that would end up ruining his relationship with his mother. Then again, if I did not tell him, what would I do?
”You're bleeding,” Karan's surprised shout diverted my attention to my arm where that IV was inserted. Due to my abrupt movement, the needle had come out, and the blood was flowing from that puncture in my skin.
He pressed his handkerchief at the wound. I took a look at the face of the man who was being concerned about my well-being.
”Can you be a little careful? I don't know how Eshan handles you. He must be always on his toes looking after you,” Karan lamented. I could see he was trying to loosen up the atmosphere, but his joke was terrible. His worried expressions for me seemed genuine though.
”Why are you being nice to me?” I asked suddenly, taking hold of the white handkerchief which would surely have bloodstains on it.
Karan's hand hovered in the air for a bit before he sighed and sat back in the chair. ”I'll answer all your questions, but before that, tell me why did you end up in such a condition?”
