Chapter 7 - Confrontation

Adrita's Pov.

"Please don't come near me." I begged them.

I was very afraid to even imagine what would happen next.

One of them came close to me and was about to touch me.

"No... no... don't touch me." I was screaming again and again.

"Rita, open your eyes." Someone said while shaking my body.

But I continuously kept screaming.

"Open your eyes. You are just dreaming." I heard that voice once again.

I opened my eyes and started taking deep breaths. I looked at my surroundings and I saw that I was in my room in bed.

Didi was sitting beside me and Jiju was standing looking at me worriedly. I moved my eyes away from Jiju and I saw him.

The reason for my current state.

"Rita, are you okay?" Didi asked, crying.

"What happened?" I asked to know because the last thing I remember is passing out in fear at that isolated place.

"I told you don't go alone, you didn't know the way, but still you went alone. What were you doing in that unknown place? How did you even get there?" Didi threw questions at me and I looked at the person who did all of this.

"It's him, he did this." I screamed while pointing my finger at him.

He just stood there looking at me with a blank face. I couldn't even see a little bit of regret on his face.

"Are you out of your mind? What are you saying?" Didi said, screaming at me.

"I am telling the truth. He took me to that isolated place saying that he wants to talk to me about something. He left me there all alone where I wasn't able to see any humans. Then fainted." I said while glaring at him.

I so much wanna beat him and ask him why he did this.

What did I ever do to him?

Hell! I don't even know him properly.

"Are you going insane? He is the one who brought you from that isolated place. We were searching for you everywhere since morning. He found you in that place and took you in here one hour back and you are blaming him. Maybe the cab driver did something to you." Didi scolded me which made my eyes teary.

She doesn't even know him and is taking his side over mine.

"You don't believe me? Why would I blame him without any reason? Don't blame the cab driver because I didn't even go with him." I screamed at her because she wasn't believing me.

"You don't even know this person and you are taking his side, I am your sister and never lied to you." I said, trying to make her understand.

"I think you have seen a dream." Didi said calmly.

I took deep breaths to control my anger and not lash out at her. I got up from the bed and went towards him.

"You! What game are you playing with me?" I asked looking up because he was much taller than me.

"I am not playing any games. I think as your sister said, you have seen me in your dream." He said, maintaining a blank face.

"Why would I see you in my dream? If it was a dream then how did I reach that place?" I asked him, curling my hands into fists.

"Only you know how you reached there." He said acting coolly.

"Then my answer it's you. It's you who took me there." I screamed at his face while poking my finger at his chest.

"Rita! Stop your nonsense." Didi screamed at me.

"Say sorry to him." She said and I looked at her shockingly.

"Never." I gritted out and she glared at me showing me her big scary eyes.

I won't say sorry means I won't say sorry.

"Mr. Malhotra, I am sorry for my sister's behavior. Please forgive her." Didi said while joining her hands.

WTH! I didn't do anything and she is saying sorry to him on my behalf.

"It's okay. She is just confused." He said and I could see a tiny smirk on his lips.

Didi and jiju went out of the room leaving him and me alone.

I curled my right fist more and was about to land a punch on his face with full force but he held my wrist in a tight grip.

He twisted my hand in my back making me yelp in pain. He pulled me very close to him.

"You didn't say the truth in front of them but now we are alone. So tell me why you did this?" I asked while trying to break free my hand from his grip.

"Secrets should be kept secret until they are meant to be revealed." He said with an evil smile.

His smile was making me afraid more than I already am.

"I don't like it when someone talks to me in a loud voice. I hate it when someone disrespects me or humiliates me. You have triggered anger in me so say sorry before it's too late." He said in a harsh tone.

"I won't say sorry, what will you do?" I asked, triggering the anger in him more.

"I will punish you." He said in a rough voice.

Fear is building inside me.

"Leave my hand." I said in a cold tone.

I didn't show it on my face that I was afraid of him. His grip tightened on my wrist but suddenly he left my hand and pushed me back a little.

I clutched my wrist rubbing it to soothe the pain. But I saw his red finger marks on my wrist.

"I want to punish you in so many ways but I think you had enough fun for today. So, see you tomorrow." He said with that evil smile and lastly winked at me and disappeared from the room.

Why is he doing this?

What will he do tomorrow?

He is behaving like I did something very bad to him. But I didn't do anything bad to anyone.

Then why does he hate me so much?
