He Calls Me His

|Innaya|

I could no longer feel anything as my body grew numb. I wanted to say so many things to him, yet looking at his fallen face, I no longer felt like wasting my breath on him. Ignoring his mere presence from now onwards was the best choice. Because one can commit a mistake once, twice but not every single time. He, for every single time, became the reason for my tears and fears. I could not feel safe in his presence anymore.

I watched as Karan pushed his wheelchair forward with one hand. His eyes never left mine. His action startled me and as I stepped back, I nearly tripped when my feet got tangled in the carpet.

"Careful."

"Careful."

Two voices rang out and at the same time, two people rushed forward to help me. Arjun held me by my shoulders while Eshan's arm was wrapped around my waist. Suddenly I did not feel lost anymore. With these two most important men of my life protectively holding me, I felt an ache in my heart subsiding.
