"Waking up every day to make breakfast feels as hard as sowing vegetables in farms." [Jacky]......The smell of the tea aligned up to my nose. Waking me up from my slumber. As I served it in two large cups. One for me and another one for my sister, I had woke up early today to make breakfast for us while my mom was writhing in pain from the last two hours. She had a stone in her gall bladder. And almost after every two days, she felt pain. And it was also one of the reasons for waking up early. Since I had to call the nearby Uncle from the medical store to give her a shot for controlling it.He had still advised me to ask daddy for an operation. Since it was the only way to cure it. It has been an hour since she slept and I came back to the kitchen to make something for breakfast. But my thoughts were occupied by the boy of the night. I was still stuck to him. His words. His thoughts. His life. 'What had he gone through to

"You can shrink your real self in the corner of your head, but it will bounce back the moment you will be yourself." [Jacqueline]......"What are you doing Rohan?" I screamed at Rohan for the hundredth time. The last class of attending was already over and almost all students had left for their homes. While I was stuck in a room with him. 'Why?' Because I forgot my diary on the table and when I came back to get it. Someone came from outside and locked the door. That, someone, was Rohan, The asshole. For half an hour I was requesting him to open the door and let me leave. But it seemed either he was deaf or I wasn't speaking. Every time I got to the door, he will drag me back to the bench. Now that I had caught the handle of the gate in a death grip, he had placed himself on the door. I was agitated to the point that I would have kicked him or punched him only if I was able to. But since I have never practiced t

"Be a realist, in every way you find possible. Even in the times, you don't want or need to be." [Jacqueline]..... Jacqueline's POV: The fear engulfed me from inside making me breathless. 'Who can it be?'As my thoughts wandered, A name flashed in my mind.'Rohan.''Who said things that happen in desperation can be good. The whole scene replayed in my mind in the spotlight.''Oh God, please save me.'My whole body shuddered as the realization dawned upon me.'I'm so done. He will probably kill me.'Closing my eyes, I took deep breaths to calm down when the door of my bedroom opened and a head peeked inside. It was Nikki.Her black eyes instantly connected with mine."Jacky, I made Gajar ka halwa. Would you like some?"I gathered my wits to refuse her. But her hopeful gaze stopped me. Unable to say a word, I nodded at her. Smiling a fake smile.A

"When you try to save yourself from something. You are going to be more caught up in it." [Jacqueline].... I put up a fake bravado and gathered my courage out. Daring to explain to him."I. Uncle. He and I. It's not like what you are thinking." His hold tightened upon my words. And I almost yelped as he pinched me on the shoulder."She is upset with me. Uncle. That's why she is saying that. Don't mind her." "I." I was trying to say that he is lying. But I stopped when I looked at him from the side and noticed he was already looking at me. He mouthed the words, 'I will kill you. If you didn't shut up.' And I gulped and stopped explaining to him. Even if I did, uncle will probably never believe me. He will think I was just hiding the fact of having a boyfriend.I inhaled.'Probably if he said so, no one will believe you. Have you seen his face, his body? If he is saying that you are his

 I was back in my room, doing my delayed homework that I needed to complete. After our bad encounter,  The rest of the day went smoothly for me without any difficulties and I didn't saw him again too, just a few rude words here and there from some of my bullies nothing worse.'Your first kiss is stolen. What could be worse than it?'My stupid brain reminded me and I shook my head to clear my thoughts. Crying over things that I have no control over will do me nothing good. It will only increase my problems.Inhaling a breath, I opened my phone to distract my mind. Wanting to see if Remo did text me again or not. "Hey""Are you worried about me Jacky?" I read and reread his text multiple times.'Why? I didn't even know myself. Scrolling down I saw his other text."Riots have occurred after the last day we talked and the internet was shut down for a few days here, so I couldn't c
