Part 7:
“Advay” she patted at his face still crying “Advay, please wake up, don’t die on me please” Chandni was looking at him in horror “have I killed him? No it can’t be happening… how I can kill him… oh my god I’ve killed him…” she started to rub his hands but in vain “Advay please wake up I… I didn’t… didn’t mean to hurt you…” she sobbed while resting her head against his heart a slow thud which she couldn’t hear. What had been most hurting for her was that he had to suffer a serious injury because of her; there were tears of anguish in her eyes seeing him almost lifeless like this.
(Note: Guys couldn’t help but to add another song to express what Advay is feeling right now… If you listen the song while reading the story you will enjoy it more.)
Song: Demons by Imagine Dragons
“When the days are cold
And the cards all fold
And the saints we see
Are all made of gold
When your dreams all fail
And the ones we hail
Are the worst of all
And the blood’s run stale
I wanna hide the truth
I wanna shelter you
But with the beast inside
There’s nowhere we can hide
No matter what we breed
We still are made of greed
This is my kingdom come
This is my kingdom come” “Advay please wake up or I’ll die” she pleaded to him again, she felt a hand stroking her head, she jolted up to see him smiling upon her despite of the pain she had given to him “Advay thanks God you are alive” this time she hugged him tightly “I’m so sorry I didn’t mean to hurt you, I’m so sorry” she hid her face in the crook of his neck and cried her heart out to him, he gently took her in his arms and lifting her face he wiped away her tears.
When you feel my heat
Look into my eyes
It’s where my demons hide
It’s where my demons hide
Don’t get too close
It’s dark inside
It’s where my demons hide
It’s where my demons hide “Umm” he groaned in pain “Chandni I’m fine, nothing happened to me, just… just don’t cry please” he told her smiling. She again hid her face in his chest “I th… thought I’ve… I’ve killed you” she finished between her sobs.
“At the curtain’s call
It’s the last of all
When the lights fade out
All the sinners crawl
So they dug your grave
And the masquerade
Will come calling out
At the mess you made
Don’t wanna let you down
But I am hell bound
Though this is all for you
Don’t wanna hide the truth
No matter what we breed
We still are made of greed
This is my kingdom come
This is my kingdom come
When you feel my heat
Look into my eyes
It’s where my demons hide
It’s where my demons hide
Don’t get too close
It’s dark inside
It’s where my demons hide
It’s where my demons hide” A warm smile touched his face “so she cares about me” followed by guilt and then loathing for himself for what he had done to her “do I even deserve a little bit care from her? No.”
“They say it’s what you make
I say it’s up to fate
It’s woven in my soul
I need to let you go
Your eyes, they shine so bright
I wanna save that light
I can’t escape this now
Unless you show me how
When you feel my heat
Look into my eyes
It’s where my demons hide
It’s where my demons hide
Don’t get too close
Its dark inside
It’s where my demons hide
It’s where my demons hide” “Chandni I’m fine, I deserved it, in fact it’s nothing compared to what I put you through, you have the right to hit me like this for a million times and I will bear it happily, even you can kill me for I know I deserve it” he told her truthfully.
Chandni was looking into his eyes and somehow she could see the truth in them, but his reminder of what he had done to her made her wince and she quickly detached herself from him avoiding to look at his face. “I’m sorry I didn’t mean to hurt you… I didn’t know that you will be badly injured otherwise I wouldn’t have thrown that stupid thing at you” she told him in a small voice with her head bent down, suddenly it reminded him of someone dear to him and Chandni could see from the corner of her eyes that he was trying to hide his smile “you know what, your name should be Mr. Ajeeb Singh Raizada instead of Advay Singh Raizada, I’ve hurt you so badly and you are still smiling” Chandni told him with awestruck expressions. He tried to get up but the wound was still making him dizzy so he laid back in the bed “I told you Chandni whatever wounds, injuries you will give me I’ll bear them happily, hell if you would kill me I’ll take the death with a smiling face knowing that it’ll bring you peace” he informed her politely again drowning her in the seas of wonderment.
Feeling her restlessness because of him being in the same room, Advay again tried to get up and go from there but Chandni stopped him “Advay don’t get up, your wound is deep and it’s making you dizzy, if you will try to be up and walk then you will faint again, it’s better you rest here, I’ll go outside and wait for Naani until she gets back from the temple” she told him in a small but steady voice and went away from there. When Naani returned to home, she could easily feel Chandni’s agitation “Chandni everything alright my dear? Why are you disturbed?” She hesitated for a moment and replied to Naani “actually Naani, Advay… Advay is injured and… and he is in that room where I’m staying so I decided to wait here… until you came back.” “What happened to Cheeku? How did he get injured? Take me to him hurry” she could clearly see the worry on Naani’s face for her grandson and feel her pain. Chandni took Naani to Advay “Cheeku! My child what happened to you? How did you get this wound?” Naani asked her crying and touching his forehead. Chandni was about to spill the beans but Advay quickly covered for her “it’s nothing Naani, just my own doing, I had spilled water on the floor by mistake and when I was coming here I totally forgot about it, got my foot tripped and hit my head on the table, I was lucky that Chandni was there to help me.”
