ISHRA 'FF' ~~ "To Trust OR Not To Trust" [Chap 4 - Page 8]

The one day I wish to cry my heart out, the tears are refusing to flow. I need to cry, I want to cry... I just need to get rid  of this heaviness before my heart...Oh I forgot... One can only cry their heart out if their heart is still beating and mine just died few minutes OR should I say MURDERED... it was a cold blooded murder. When TRUST is nowhere to be found at the time you need it the most, that's one of the most downright horrific way to murder someone... A murder that I don't even wish upon my enemy. 

This pain... this pain is like having your insides twisted pulled and squeezed. I tried fighting it BUT the pain became worse. It felt like I got caught in the undertow of a wave. Being trapped under water is scary. You can fight it and get more scared or you can just let go and wait until the wave releases you BUT whichever way you decide to end it... that will mark your END.

Night falls like a curtain draped over the light. Ishita lost track of time, she had been staring into space for how long, only time itself can answer. No...She wasn't crying in fact there wasn't a single drop of tear. Her face was like a blank piece of sheet. No emotions or whatsoever. BLANK... Mihika walked into the room with a small bowl of hot rasam for Ishita, it was almost 10pm and she hadn't really eaten anything from yesterday afternoon. Ever since the ordeal, Ishita has not spoken to anyone, even her Jiju. She kept numb, resting her back against the bed rest, lost in own thoughts. 

"Akka...Akka..." Mihika called out but there was no response. Mihika placed the hot bowl of rasam carefully down the side table and got hold of her Akka's shoulders and started shaking it vigorously hoping to bring her back to reality BUT unfortunately the efforts went in vain. Just than Bala and Vanditha walked into the room, Mihika turned to face them and they understood what Mihika's eyes were saying BUT Bala requested that they leave Ishita alone for some time. "Let her comprehend the incidents of yesterday and today, let's give her some space and time. Anyways we just going to be here only so, there's nothing to worry about. Come on Vandu, come Mihika, let us go from here."

And over at the Bhalla's residence, there was someone who was in the same state as Ishita... Raman... He was lying down in bed facing the window BUT he wasn't looking out, his gaze was fixed upon something else... It wonderers along the emptiness that filled the left side of his bed. He slowly stretched his hand out to his left side and clutched the sheets tightly, closing his eyes. Tears rolled down from the corners of his eyes, creating a wet patch in his pillow. The last time, his pillows saw his tears where before SHE came into his life and after 4 months, he was laying in bed crying himself to sleep, this time the tears were for her...his Wife. "What have I done?," he gets up holding his head unable to control himself, let the tears flows. "I TRUST you Ishita, I TRUST you MORE than I trust myself, I TRUST you more than ANYONE in this world."

TRUST...It's not just a word, it's a PROMISE...
