Their Muted Love

Go Away!

Rose

Kiran dropped me home that day. After that, I was in my room the whole four days and nights. Mom has given me food in my room regularly.

I didn't tell her. But I hardly get any sleep after a day. I'm too busy studying myself to forget everything. But the impact was too much for me to forget. But still, I'm trying. Kiran visits me every evening and hands me homework. I'm glad that I met friends like him, not like those two. Who never tried to see if I'm Ok or not?

Today was a school holiday. So I was alone again. Because today is my school holiday.

But still, Mom and Dad are in the office working on some important project. I don't want them to skip their work because of me. I saw them suffer because of the incident.

Mom left me a note in the freezer. She will try to come back as soon as possible. I take a water bottle and come to my room.

That day was horrible for me. I don't know how that evil guy found me in the bathroom. I was lucky enough to kick at his feet, run to the toilets, and lock the door. He was so close to me.

He almost r*ped me again if he caught me again. But the miracle happens, and Lucas and Marcus come in time. And Mike runs out of the window. Kiran told me this after we got home.

When I saw Marcus and Lucas I was afraid that they would find out about my situation and laugh at me. I don't want them to laugh at me or make fun of me.

So I just told Kiran to take me back home. Kiran is the only person who was aware of my situation.

I sigh and go to the bathroom. I do homework the whole day. After getting a hot shower I feel a bit relaxed. I put on my short pyjamas for sleep.

I don't feel like eating, so I lie down to sleep. But when I closed my eyes, Mark's evil face came to my mind, when he forced me that night.

I pick up my mobile to ask Kiran to accompany me.

'Ring… Ring…' The mobile ring broke my thoughts. I look at the screen and an unknown number shows up. I pick up the call and put on my headphones.

"Hey, beautiful… Did you miss me?" Deep familiar voices make goosebumps.

I feel a shiver run down my spine. I fell back on my bed. Why is he calling me? How can he get my number? My mind is filled with so many questions.

"I know you can't talk… The cut of your face makes your mouth mute! You can't say the words, let me help you say it! Your first question is How can I get your number? Why am I calling you this time? What do I want from you?" He asked questions that ran through my mind. I felt his voice was heavy like he was drunk.

I want to cut the call and throw the phone away. But my body was frozen in place.

"Let me give you answers! I had many people to find out what happened when you ran from me. The number was a piece of cake. I knew the hospital you were taking treatment at. I know your parents, your two rich friends who left you alone that night for me. I remember how much you tried to call them to save you, your crying face, your tears, and your sweet body… Mmm… Remembering that I got hard… F**k…" He kept talking about that night I started suffocating.

My vision is getting blurred. Tears flowed down my cheeks. I wiped them in a hurry. I need to be strong. I can't always stay weak in front of him.

"You are alone tonight, right? Fine, I'm coming to your home. Then we can have a hot night again like before… Wait for me… Bye, Beautiful." He hung up.

'Oh, s**t! He is coming! He is coming!!' My mind alarms. My phone fell. I ran out of room.

'Closed the window! Closed the door…' I keep repeating in my mind.

My hands are working faster. I locked the windows and door and double-checked. I turn off all the lights. So he will think I'm not at home. And he will leave.

I come back to the living room. I fell on the sofa very tiredly, taking a deep breath. I was thinking of sending a message to Kiran asking him to accompany me tonight.

Suddenly the doorbell rings. I jump in scared. He has come here so shortly.

' What to do? What to do?' My mind is going numb.

The door got banged this time. The knocking was getting louder. And my heart beat faster. I put my hand on my ears. I need to keep quiet. He will be gone! Will he be gone? I keep repeating myself.

Again, the door got banged, this time more loudly.

Go away!!

Go away, please!!

Please, leave me alone!

For God's sake!

'Bang! Bang!' The door won't stop knocking. I keep sitting on the sofa.

After a short time, suddenly the landline phone close to the sofa rings. I jumped in panic. The phone rings again. I picked up the phone and put it to my ear.

"Rose!! What the hell! Why are you not picking up your damn phone? Rose, I know you are listening to me, open the damn door. We were standing outside your house like an i***t. Open the door right now before I break this.…" Lucas shouted in anger from the other side.

I can't believe it in my ears. It was Lucas who kept knocking on the door. My heart feels so relieved. I take deep breaths to calm down.

"Rose, I'll break this door if you won't open it after I count ten. one… two…" Lucas started counting.

'No! Don't break the door, Lucas!!" I got up in a hurry and ran to the door.

I'm very sure that if I don't open the door right now. Lucas can break it without hesitation. He can buy a new door because he is a rich kid.
