My Mr. Jerk

14. Miseries

Previously

I covered her with a quilt and after taking a last look I left the room.

I am exhausted now and I decided to rest for sometime.

Mary knocked after two hours and knocked on the door.

"Come in" I said

" Sir , lunch is ready. Would you like to have it now? " She asked

" Yes , I am coming " I said and went to the dining table.

Liya's POV

"Uncle please stop " I beg him as he was hitting me with his belt . I don't know what I did. He was in a bad mood and he suddenly called me and started hitting me hard.

He was beating me up. I couldn't defend myself at all. "Stop making noise or else I will start hitting that little brother of yours " he said in a devilish manner. I couldn't let honey take any hit. I didn't make a noice . Silent tears were flowing out of my eyes. Maybe that's my faith. It's OK I will change all this. I will get my little brother out of this hell hole. I was determined enough but his hits were burning my skin and  the only thing I could do now was to bear his tortures without complaining.

I don't know how long he went but he stopped after sometime and I slipped into darkness.

..................

"Sissy where are you?" I heard honey who is trying to search me. We are playing hide and seek and he is trying his level best .

"Find me honey " I shout out loud so that he can find me . But my 7 year old brother is very smart . He followed my voice and came to my room . I was hiding below the bed. There were many cartons and boxes below so I went between them and covered myself with them so that he he can't see me.

I am twenty years but I still love playing these games with my brother . I heard his footsteps . He came inside the room. I heard the cupboard open . He must be thinking I am hiding between inside the cupboard . He then came near the bed and looked down . Then he started walking to the window. I guess he didn't see me. Thanks to the cartons. He walked to the other side of the bed. Maybe he is trying to look from that side. I Scoot a little bit more closer to myself so that he can't see me. He then moved the curtain . I guess he is searching behind the curtain. I smiled and controlled my laugh.

Suddenly he pulls away one of the cartoon which is in front of me.

" Caught you , caught you " he said happily squealing. I crawled out and dusted my dress a bit.

" Ya sure , you caught me . Now it's my turn I will catch you faster then you caught me " I said and started tickling him. " Now go hide , I am going out and counting till twenty " I said and went out .

I counted till twenty and then shouted " is am coming " . I started to search . I checked behind the sofa. Below the dining table. I opened the kitchen cabinets to see if he is sitting inside one of them. No luck. I entered the room and checked the bathroom. I checked below the bed in the same place I was hiding. Then I also checked behind the curtains and my cupboard.

" Honey where are you???" I say loudly.

"Sissy I am here " I heard his voice. Balcony. I didn't check the balcony.

"Sissy save me please " I heard him saying. What happened I to him. I rushed to the balcony.

" Sissy it hurts , please sissy save me "  I reached the balcony to see my little honey covered with cuts and injuries and blood oozing out of his injuries.

I immediately go to him and pick him up. " Sissy it hurts " he says in a low voice .

" Honey , sissy is here she won't let anything happen to you " I told him and started to pick him up. I wasn't able to pick him up. Everything was turning blur , honey started to disappear from my hands . He was fading away. Oh my god what's happening.

I am a crying mess by now. " Sissy you promised to save me " I heard his voice but he was no where visible . Everything was turned black and I was searching him all around. And suddenly a bright light appears.

What am I doing here. Why am I having drips attached to me? Oh my god very is honey. He needs me . He needs me , he needs my help. I can't let him be in that position. I started to remove the drips and move but someone caught me and started holding me back.

" I need to go , I need to see him " I tell that person and she doesn't allow me. Where am I? What is going on. That lady runs out and locks the room . She locked me in . How will I meet my brother.

My brain started going haywire and I started to throw all the bases on the floor and fell on the floor crying.

Then I took a note of my surroundings. I have seen this place before. Slowly everything started coming back to me. Honey was hospitalized and everything that happened.

My brother is in coma. My brother is in a coma just because of me. I could hear someone coming in and I run inside the bathroom and lock the door.

I sat next to the door and was now crying my heart out. I cried for my failure. I cried for my pathetic life. It was because of me mom and dad died. It is because of me that my brother is in coma , he was at the brink of death and I couldn't do anything to protect him.

I just wanted one thing , that is to keep my brother happy and I failed at that too. I am so useless.

There was continuous knocking on the door , but I did t bother to open, it became quite for a moment but then I saw the door bursting out open. I looked at the person who knocked the door . There was a tall man knocked of the door . It was none other than Sebastian.

He bent down and lifted my chin and now I was facing him. I had tears running down my eyes. I didn't want him to see me like this. He then did something unexpected.

He hugged me.

I should be pushing him away but I felt a odd sense of comfort in his arms. I started crying out loud , crying all my miseries out.

I don't know when I dozed off in Sebastian's arms.
