Destiny

Chapter 16

Emotions just happen,

Yet we are told to control it.

Nina

The car stopped right in front of the cottage villa which is my temporary house. The sky was dark yet the cottage villa shined like a diamond.

I open the car door and walk to the cottage villa's door. Hearing 3Ps talking made me growl loudly as I entered the cottage villa which silenced him.

I looked at my temporary bedroom door and nothing else.

" Nina," He called out like a bad omen.

" Go away from my life," I barked walking to my temporary room and closing the door.

Going into the bathroom, I looked at my reflection which didn't convey any emotions. Just a pair of eyes looking back.

I turn on the shower drowning myself with water. Till the beating of my heart raised and I could hear it making me feel alive.

Wrapping my wet hair with my cotton shawl, I change into a hoodie and an old pair of jeans that is officially a house wear now.

I called Amma.

" Nina, how are you doing?" She asked with a cheerful voice making my body slide onto the sofa.

" I just came from therapy," I informed swallowing the thickness in my throat.

" How was it?" She asked.

" I don't know," I blurt out and pressed my nails on my palm feeling the pain.

" What kind of answer is that"? Amma sitting in front of me snorted while the Amma on the call muttered,

" What did you talk about?"

" Amma shouldn't know about the supernatural world, Nina," Sister of Justice shouted next to me making me flinch.

" Nina," The Amma on the call said my name.

" Nina, you are a grown-up so you don't have to tell every single detail of your life to Amma like a child," The bad cop spoke up while the good cop stood still looking at me in regret.

Looking at me in regret, looking at me in regret, looking at me in regret.

Because of that night...

Distract, Distract, Distract...

Shadow figures stood in front of me demanding to give them a face.

" Don't think much, kid," He hissed behind me.

Using his scale skin around my neck making me feel a beating coming from my neck.

His scale skin tied my hands and legs while he bits my body and I only feel the beating from the neck and heart.

He looks at me with glowing eyes as he is on top of me... Yasmin is crying next to me.

Distract, Distract, Distract.

" No one will come to rescue you," He shouted with laughter joined by others. I cried blurring my vision.

I only hear the beatings and Yasmin's cry.

The wave of coolness relaxed my body but it started to shake.

" Nina," He called out holding my face and chasing away the blurriness.

" Take this," Another voice spoke making my body have a bubble-like texture.

I can clearly see now.

3Ps pressed the glass to my lips making me drink water.

I'm lying on the floor. I sat up straight pushing him away.

" Get out," I whispered and Ansh left in a heartbeat.

" You were having seizure like...,"

" Out, " I commanded him and I looked at him resisting my order which he did.

" Please," I whisper and he left after a nod.

I lay down looking at the rotating fan trying to remember what happened today... But my heavy eyes tried to close themselves. I fought against it till I could...

The beating in my head was making my eyes close yet I opened them. Because of my phone ringing.

It's Papa.

" Hello," I answered lying on the bed and looking at the rotating fan.

" Nina, how are you feeling?" He asked.

" Tired," I muttered turning around with my blanket.

" What happened?" I asked yawning loudly.

" Nina, what do you remember from today?" Papa questioned instead.

" I... Went to the therapy and...," I sat up straight. I was sleeping on the floor.

3Ps.

" Nina, do you remember everything properly?" Papa demanded my attention.

" No... I want to sleep, Papa... Bye," I cut the call throwing my head back to the pillow.

" Eve," I called out and received a bark.

Sometimes Eve forgets to talk with me in words.

A sign of losing humanity and becoming feral.

" Forget about that," Eve growled regaining the ability to speak in words.

One... Two... Three.

I walked out of the room and straight to the kitchen looking for something... To drink.

" Nina, I made aloo paratha which you like, " 3Ps entered the kitchen opening the hottop.

How could he know? ... Sister of Justice.

" I want something to drink," I muttered looking inside the fridge.

" I can make lassi," He offered.

" Do it," I mumbled walking out of the kitchen.

He holds my arm making me pause my steps. He quickly removed his hand away.

" How are you feeling?" He asked before I could have snared at him.

" Why the hell do you care?" I spoke making him flinch.

I kinda shouted.

" We live together..., "

" So what... I don't care if you live or not then why do you act as if you care about me," I shouted again.

" I don't act Nina," He snorted breathing hard.

" Come on, you are just like your disgusting sister. Snakes," I barked in the end making him growl lowly.

" You are not feeling well so take a rest," He mumbled.

I laughed as I circled around a bit. I walked up to him so close that I could feel his breath.

" Your sisters and you are desperate greedy people who would do anything," I whispered feeling his anger for the first time.

" That sister of yours acts so pious and innocent when in reality..., "

" Enough, " He whispered controlling himself. The water rushed out of the pipe with full force.

" Geeta Di sacrificed her whole life for me. I will not bear any disrespect towards her, Nina," He said making the water stop.

" A prostitute deserves more respect than her," I muttered and he walked away.

" Stop," I commanded him making him pause while he tried to fight against the command. But fail.

A command fails only when the host is weak physically or mentally.

" You have to make lassi for me and you won't try to hurt me while making the lassi," I commanded him and walked passed him laughing.

I glance to see Ansh peeking from his room door.

Sitting on the sofa, I hear 3Ps making Lassi.

" What happened today, Eve?" I asked.

" After the therapy, you blocked me because you were tired. Then after a shower, you had a panic attack," Eve informed me as I looked at 3Ps bringing a glass of Lassi.

Before I could take the first sip, the 3Ps question,

" What did Geeta Di do that you hate her so much?"

" What do you think?" I question back drinking my Lassi.

" Is it because we are poorer than you," He guessed making me choke on Lassi.

" No," I snorted continuing to drink my Lassi.

" Then what is it, Nina? I'm not a seer like you," He shouted sitting in front of me.

" She falsely accuses someone," I answered.

" That's impossible," He immediately defended her.

" Then ask her," I snorted finishing my Lassi. Then I went to my temporary room ignoring his voice to talk.
