"Help me! Help me!" chanting in her mind. Panting. Breathing heavily as Ilena was running for her life. "Come back you bitch!" shouted her stalker, who was running to catch her. Ilena's barefoot stepping on useless twigs, dry and dead leaves, beautiful plucked flowers, which are somehow dead, mud, dirt, pebbles, debris which hurts the sole of her foot, Ounce of blood leaving the ground every time her feet contacts it.
Dark tree trunks, shadows, overhanging limbs across the path seen at the last second, clumps of bushes, the moon shining through a lattice of leaves.
The flutter of wings unseen, as she ran repeatedly saying to herself, "it's alright, i will be saved! it's alright, i will be saved! it's al-" A big thud. Ilena fell down with a bleeding head. Whoosh. Now, on the ground with useless twigs, dry and dead leaves, beautiful plucked flowers, which are somehow dead, mud, dirt, pebbles, debris lies Ilena's body. Her blood making a liquid-line with all the things, making them grounded with each other. Ilena's eyes dropped tears and her eyes closes, as the replay of her life started before her,
"Ilena! come fast or we will miss the show!" exclaimed Maya, a tall and confident personality, close friend of Ilena. She speaks without any filter, that is a quality as well as the trouble- causing aspect, and that is the reason most of their friends avoid hangouts with her. Well, Ilena hugged her as she met her in the movie hall, "where are my-" Ilena stopped her sentence before Maya handed her a tub of Ilena's favorite caramel popcorn. Ilena held the tub smiling and gesturing- thankyou, love. Maya smiled and chuckled- i love you more. "hey ladies!" a fair man, long stature, his eyes as they are filled with unconditional love, ready to give all of it-
Ilena stood confused, tension rose between her brows as the environment got awkward, it was a few seconds when happy caramel-y-cozy vibes turned into copper-ish-uneasy one. Maya broke the complex awkward shell surrounded, "Ilena, he is my brother. I am so sorry i forgot to mention that he will be joining us for today's show" Aiden offered a handshake," myself Aiden" Ilena shook hands saying,"Ilena.. nice to meet you" Aiden smiled, his dimple sneak peeked through. Ilena whisperd," God that dimple!" Aiden questioned," Did you say something?" Ilena shook his head, red tinted with blush," no.. not at all!" Aiden laughed. Maya broke the shell again," So shall we take our seats!?" both nodded.
Aiden sat beside Ilena, in between of the show, he asked in a slow- deep voice, " so... caramel huh?" Ilena smiled, embarassed. Aiden flirted," i would like to taste this caramel" Ilena smirked,"i dare you to do so-" Aiden looked in Ilena's eyes. deep. detailed. Then they both laughed.
This was the beginning of the worst chapter of Ilena's life, and yet she didn't knew about it. Like all love stories, hers started cute! with all those cute couple things, sweet lovable messages, texts, letters, gifts, special birthdays, But something was yet to come- THE DISASTER.
Her nights were soon to get flooded with her precious tears.
One day, They both had a fight. not the first time, probably the 50th fight in almost two years. And this time, Ilena was determined to have a breakup. She realised it is the high time, and the LOVE is over.
She packed her bag, wore her muffler and walked to Aiden's place. The weather was hurting, Cold winds slapped her face as if they are upset from her. She was breathing heavily and finally reached his place. Aiden opened the door before Ilena could ring the bell. She stood still seeing him, she was shivering from cold but she was also scared and nervous. Copper filled her mouth, she bit her tongue and looked down, she took a deep breathe and she said," It's over... Aiden" "Over... what?" his voice heavy and his tone cold, brutal and arrogant. "o...our.. rela.... our relation-" before she could finish, Aiden grabbed her and pressed her against the wall and stared directly into her soul through his eyes," complete the sentence, and you are so dead Ilena!" His eyes, which was once filled with unconditional love were now bursting the aggression. Ilena's eyes filled with tears, her breathes uncatchable, her heart beating so fast, her back pressed against the wall so hard as if her vertebral column would have cracks, the rage Aiden held was a haunting episode to Ilena. She was blanked. She did not knew how to escape the situation - the aggression. She swallowed and mustered the courage to speak,"i....i...." Aiden's grip tightened over her arms, and the pressure increased the amount, and the amount Ilena was hurt was enormous. She continued, "Aiden.. please..i am getting hurt.. it is hurting me" Tears fell from her wet eyes, " she gulped and this time her voice cracked, she bit her lips," We should break up, it is no point-" Aiden released one of her arm and spanked his hard rough hand at her soft fragile cheek, it was hard. Ilena's specticles fell off broken into pieces, signifying she is in a hell- officially.
Redness filled her cheek and she got broken, the thing just happen to her, it is not real, it can't be real! how could he!?
Ilena looked at him, speechless, hopeless, disappointed. Heat rose from her skin. Awkward- embarrassment- Anger- ashamed and most dominating HEARTBREAK.
She silently and calmly wiped her tears, Aiden stood still releasing her, the pressure lightened and Ilena felt light after the release but her heart, Really heavy. She bent down picked up her glasses, trying hard not to lose hold on herself. After picking the glasses, she walked towards the street. Aiden realised he made a mistake,"shit!" he kept it to himself and ran towards her. Ilena's world broke down her tears felling at each step she takes. Aiden shouted," hey! wait!" Ilena didn't listen, she ignored. Aiden catched her up and quickly hugged her from behind, tightly.
"I am so sorry, love.. i shouldn't have done that! i am sorry!" He turned her, and now they both were facing each other, he kissed her cheek, still red from the slap. Ilena's eyes were down. She didn't utter a single word, her tears dried on her cheeks, lashes still red. Aiden cupped her face and said in a low voice,"please forgive me! i love you so much, the thought of losing you made me crazy!"
Ilena looked at him, vengeance in her eyes, disgust and anger for him, "go to hell!" she pushed him with all of her strength, "do not ever come in front of my eyes!" she left. Leaving Aiden lying on the floor.
Next day, when she started the day, she felt delighted, the light of freedom hit her face, but still the anger could not get down. She was coming at her house from shopping stuff- in a good mood, and that was the moment when her life's haunting nightmare meets her, again.
She saw Aiden, a knife in his hand, talking on the phone. She freaked out, she ran quickly, as fast as she could and locked all doors and windows. She was panting, chanting for help from god. She quickly rushed to her room for her phone, and bingo- the phone was dead, as she turned she saw Aiden. He raised his brows and smiled, his dimple sneak peaked, and that grossed her from inside. She took steps behind while he took steps ahead. Ilena, breathing heavily and scared " how did you- broke in?" Aiden let out a laugh, " we were in a relationship, love! how wouldn't i know a minor detail of you, and your house!?" this scene started to disgust and haunt Ilena from top to bottom, sweat filled her forehead and uncomfortable unstability inculcated her heart. She ran, for her life. Without taking anything with her, barefoot rushed out her house, dark streets, and a psychotic ex-boyfriend desperate to kill her torturing her.
She came into the dark forest with dense canopy, and here she is lying on the ground, bleeding.
"this can't be my end, i can't die like this!
a mere XY chromosome
who is a sicko,
can't take my precious life like this!
it is not possible,
this douchebag is a coward,
psychotic dumbhead!
he has to get the punishment!
he has to pay for what he did!"
"The End, Ilena!" he smiled, creepy.
Ilena opened her eyes, she got an unseen courage, she managed to stood up inspite of the pain she had from the wounds,
"Aiden, thankyou!" she smiled, a smile full of revenge.
"you showed me everything - love, care, pretend, pain, heartbreak many more, let me repay you, LOVE!" The emphasis on the word, 'love' was bitter.
Aiden laughed, "you will kill me!? huh!? you bloody useless bitch!"
Ilena grudged out,"death is an easy punishment for a rascal like you!"
" I will show you, you did a big mistake, you will be alive but you will crave for death, i won't touch you, and still you will cry everyday and night!"
"You will beg me to end all of it, but IT WILL BE THE END WHEN I SAY IT IS-"
I am the author of the story- mine and yours, ours!
Panked** She hit him from the stone, which she picked it up, meanwhile.
Months later,
Ilena walked in a hospital, emergency bruises, life and death situations covered the atmosphere, She removed her goggles, " How is he?"
-"his condition is unpredictable, it's the case of comma."
"Make sure he lives. he had to live!" she smiled at the nurse and wore her black glasses.
THE END
