SHE STOLE MY HEART

LEENA' S PARENTS

ZOYA 'S  POV:

                 It's  now 10 in the night but still he didn't come to his consciousness.A good soul like him should not suffer like this.When Richard said that "he doesn't want the innocent people to suffer jobless" I was just impressed by his  aiding tendency . When  he said that" he was tortured by his dad in childhood" ,I don't know why my heart felt like it had been pricked with hundreds of silver needles.When he utter those words words I just want to latch open the door and hug him tight..My  heart is aching so much when I see the blood stains in my hand and dress ,which is hurting me so much .But why?.....All these emotions where very foreign to me  I couldn't able to figure out what's going on with me....and why I am feeling this much to an unknown person?..

.While I was interrogating with myself ,it was around 11.30 in night -Richard came to consciousness and I rushed to  him and saw-who smiles at me like  that he got the treasure which he was desired for a long period.,soon enough he again fainted....I rushed out and called the doctor who now examining him inside .After five minutes,doctor came outside and said " he is out of complications now but he need to rest properly for few days he will come to his conscious in an hour or two." I felt relieved . and I waited outside the room and  bodyguards of him are standing outside the door and nearly twenty member were guarding the whole corridor.One of the guard named Max(Man 1 in chap 2)offered me a blanket and some refreshments but I am not in a mood to eat.

Soon enough, a  lady came  rushing with a bunch of bodyguards went straight into the ward after  giving me a  cold glare.

I asked Max who is that?...he replied "one of our shareholders".While  I was waiting outside and massaging my temple-the girl came out and interrogated to Max.Then Max came to me  and offered me to drive me to my home .But I  refused and said" i'll wait for him to wake" before completing my answer there rouse a voice telling "I am his girlfriend and I know to take care of him and ....thanks....so now please...- she showed her hand to the exit. She ordered Max to drop me in my home.I got irritated by her attitude but   I am not in a mood to argue with her and I refused the drive they offered and started walking and praying for the sick to get well soon.

I reached home by 1.30 in night . I am exhausted today so I directly went to my bed  thinking about him and I slept.In the dawn  I was terrified and wake from my sleep due to the sudden 'bang'. I walked towards door in a rage to kill that person whomsoever standing on the other side of the door, but my face went pale  and only got shocked by the person who was none other than the house owner.

She just pushed me aside and entered the house  asked me to pack up and get out from this house in a couple of hours.

Yhea ....it's so easy to pack my thinks with two hours...because I don't have lot stuff to carry-I have my 7 sets of dresses,a teddy bear my three flower pots-lily of valley,peony and red&white tulip....and atlast my books...in an hour I finished packing my stuff and ready to leave the room  and  there is no other choice for me than this.

Now I was chased out  from my apartment I have no one to turn other than Leena but I don't want to be a burden for her anymore and decided to search any other way to come out from this crisis.I stood in the road and stared at my room for a minute  and I turned to leave but I was surprised to see Leena  who was coming towards me.Without any explanation she understood what had happened.She pulled my luggage from my hand  and sternly said"come" ....".but Love" I resisted to go with her.She turned and said with are forefinger pointing toward my face and her eyes shows that she is feeling guilty for letting me away from her" don't utter a single word and walk now "she said and turned walk towards the main road to get a cab.

I know that she is mad at me; but what do I do ,I am not intended to trouble he.This life was given by her respect her,I love her so much but still....I remember my days in her home which only brought tears in both of our life .So,after joining college I moved out from her home to that room which is two mile away from the house of Love.At first I lied to her that the college had provided me an accommodation but soon she found out when she enquired in college dorm that I lied to her.OH MY GOD !!! till now that moment is making me a cold shiver ran down my spine when I heard her angry voice.

      We reached Love's home,only to get death glare from her parents.But they didn't utter a word because of Leena .I  lived in this house for two years,Leena's parents treated me as their bad luck though I toil the whole day in their home I didn't get their affection and even Leena didn't knows that I was treated as servant,gardener etc..  I can simply say every work.Still I remember " extra salt in a food led to forcefully burn my hand ,I was begging aunt and uncle  to leave my hand but she didn't. The only person who showered me with abundant affection is Leena ,she gave me a safe place to live,though aunt and uncle hate me they didn't dared to overdo their action because of Leena.

They just hate me because they don't want their daughter to get intrude in danger paths,after knowing that one day or the other someone will come to claim me so they don't want to put their daughter's life in a threat because of her aiding sense.I too soon accepted their point and that's when I moved to that room  by using the money which I saved by working in a cafe.(I came out my trance)

Now here I am again giving them a headache by coming here,though I try to resist Leena she didn't give her ears to any of my words .So I turned my look to the floor after greeting aunt and uncle ...I followed the footsteps of Leena without lifting my head until I reach my room.At night Leena served me dinner in my room itself,after quenching my hunger,I  just go- through my account book because tomorrow is my final exam.After completing the exams we need to  submit three month internship report to the university inorder to get graduation.The word "internship"reminds me everything that happened yesterday.By thinking all those things I can only shed my tears and pray for my prince charm to come soon to protect me from this doleful life.

Then Sana started convincing me to sleep. It's only because of Sana that I was able to cross my everyday with a hope that she is there ; but stupid brain knows that it is not a person,it's 'myself'(it's a self-talk). But I am happy with that that atleast I can rotate  and clear my thoughts within myself rather than hoping for a person to share all my stories.I know my prince charm will come one day  holding a bunch of"lily of valley " bouquet.

SANA: Are you crazy? have you ever seen anybody proposing with 'lily of valley'-most probably it will be a tulip ,rose,or peony flower.

ZOYA: Let's see.....I sneered at myself (SANA) and I slept.
