Chapter 109: 109
"He is dead." I answered but somehow my fingertips got sweaty as well as my forehead.
"Oh, I’m sorry", she answered but I felt guilty.
"You can talk to me about any complications I’m facing", I said while she gave me a report where she told me where the issue is lying. It was mostly because of my messed hormones acting up.
"Oh, ok I will look after my health however I can", I said and came out while dad and mom were waiting for me.
"You done?" Dad asked while I nodded.
"Yeah", I said while holding my reports tightly.
"Is everything ok with you?" Dad asked but I couldn’t say that my baby is at risk and that too be for me. If I am able to come out of the place a bit sooner then everything will be ok or just perfect just like before.
But when was the one everything was perfect? Never, right?
"Baby"
"What are you thinking?" Dad asked again while mom went to bring the medicines.
"Is there anything which is bothering you?" he asked while placing his hand on my temple.
"I don’t know dad", I answered.
"I have no idea what I am even doing."
"My head is in a complete mess making me lose my mind."
"Even my reports are not at all good. I’m even troubling my child because of my emotions. Tell me what should I do to make everything right?" I spoke.
"You know dad I came here because I wanted a new start but I was always known with this baby it can’t be a new start. It can never be. I never felt. And even without this baby it isn’t a new start because it was so long since I met that person when I was only a kid who was crazy in love and I met him after years again but still my emotions were so freaking intact that I hated it." I said while he touched my temple as usual.
I wanted to cry but my tears were not coming out as if everything was so dried.
My heart is aching but still this time I’m talking I don’t know why.
I was thinking and following dad outside when my eye fell on a person. I’m not hallucinating right? I don’t think I’m doing but why the fuck is here? Why?
"Dad, let’s go", I said while pushing dad.
"But we are already going right?" he said.
"We have to go even faster." I said and pushed him continuously.
"But baby tell me what is the issue? What happened to you all of sudden?" He looked here and there but I didn’t think he knew where I was looking until I placed a hand on my shoulder.
"Chloe?" now kill me.
I turned and bought a fake smile.
"Is that right? Gosh I can’t believe we are meeting like this." he sounded excited but I know this person from inside.
"Oh yeah I too didn’t know we will meet this way", my smile was awkward but my fingers were trembling even more without letting anyone know my situation.
"Chloe?" Dad asked while the person’s hand is still on my shoulder which is horrifying.
It is disgusting.
"Dad, let’s go", I kept on telling him in repeat mode.
"Chloe? You are leaving? We have met after so long. Want to catch up?" he said, giving me goosebumps.
"But dad and mom?" I tried to give lots of excuses but when dad said, "You carry on. We both will go home." and left me there.
My anxiety level went high.
"Let’s go to a calm place", he said and took me to a café.
He didn’t ask me anything but he ordered as he like just when used to treat me before. This is too much for me to bear. No, it is too much for me to breath. It is getting suffocating.
"Chloe, what happened? You feel uneasy?" he asked casually, making me think he changed but then he placed his face near my ear and said, "I’m glad I still make you feel this way."
I feel jolted.
"I’m glad." he said and returned to his seat.
"So, what is going on nowadays? No, tell me who you are with?" he asked while I kept on rubbing my fingers but couldn’t utter a single word.
"Chloe? I’m asking something", his voice sounded serious.
"Ah no- no one", I stuttered.
"I’m glad."
I know whatever the answer of mine is going to be I will be the one who will be in pain. Why did I see this person there? Why did I not run how the haunting youtubers explain to run after seeing a raven bird? Why didn’t I?
"Are you forgetting the rules? Or do you need me to remind you again and make you learn your place?" he looked at me with frustrated eyes.
"Did you forget how I don’t like when you think about someone else when I’m right In Front of you? Or do you want me to remind you?" his voice went high while flinch.
"I’m so-sorry", I answered looking down.
"That is like a good girl", he said and patted my head. My entire body was shivering while he all of sudden held my wrist and pulled me somewhere. I was trying so hard to speak but my voice was stuck somewhere inside.
"W-where a-are y-you ....
"Chloe, add another rule which is I don’t like when people question me anymore." he said while I followed. I even forget to get my phone or I could have gotten help but as soon as I stopped In Front of a. apartment I freeze.
Why did he take me here?
No, I’m ok with public places but not in private.
I don’t want to.
Please go away.
Go away please!!!!!!
"Come inside", he took me while I stopped In Front of the door and said, "S-some O-other-time..."
I was about to leave. He pulled me by holding my wrist and pushed me inside the house.
"I said do as I say." he glared but what I saw inside made me freeze.
He didn’t change. He didn’t change at all. He still has those photos of mine which we took when we were in college but he still has those which I don’t want to see.
"Can you see? I’m still holding this memory of yours and mine?"
"Can you even guess how much I have tried to find you but I got to see you nowhere until I saw you in hospital with an old man. I can’t say just how much anger I was having seeing the man with you there. I don’t care if he is your dad or any other relative but I hate to see you with any other man than me."
"I hate it."
"Because you are mine."
"You are fucking mine Chloe Adamson."
I started walking backward while he was absent minded but somehow I found the door unlocked so I ran.
"Chloe, where are you going?" he shouted and followed me but I kept on running till I reached in front of a crowd and mixed between them letting him lose my side.
My heart was throbbing so much but I got a taxi and reached my home. I don’t know how long it took for all the chasing but when I entered inside it was already dark.
"Chloe, you came?" mom asked.
"Yes mom", I answered.
"How’s your day? Did you have fun with your friend?" she said.
"Friend?"
"Yeah, your dad said he is your friend." she said.
"So is he your child’s....
She took a pause but I went violent.
"No mom. He is not. Please don’t think about that person. That guy dad met is related to my child. So, stop bringing into something which I don’t like." I almost burst but then I felt guilty.
"I’m sorry mom." I spoke.
"It is ok. You go to your room and take a rest", she said and I did as she said but when I checked my phone, I saw more than twenty missed calls on my phone.
"What the fuck it is!!!!"
I was about to ignore it but then I got a call again.
"James, have you finally lost it or what?" I shouted.
"Oh, thank God you finally received your phone. I was trying the whole day but you are not picking up so I get worried." he said but all I feel is hate toward him.
"Worried? Please don’t be worried about me. I’m all fine. I don’t need your concern and if I ever need your sympathy then it is better if I just drink poison." I spoke.
"Chloe!!!"
"I’m tired of it." I said and hung up.
Yeah, I did good because he is and that person is the same person.
They both did the same. Even though he never did bad to me but he never did good to me either.
I’m feeling so hurtful just by thinking.
