CHAPTER 7
Hurt again!
Kiara’s point of view…
He opened the door for me. His brother Girard swiftly exited the car and entered in the house leaving us alone. I was happy and felt light hearted to see him not near us any more. His presence was making it difficult for me to breathe. He did not seem the old Girard any more yet his facial expressions were the same. It refreshed my old memories. That was haunting!
I lightly breathed a sigh feeling my body relaxing in comfort at his departure. I was so much lost in myself that I totally forgot Raven has been standing there with an open door asking for me to get out, but his voice could not reach me, I was too into my thoughts. When I nervously gaped his face that was slightly getting into the mode of annoyance, he just looked away.
This was his way to ignore his frustration toward me.
As I placed my foot out, he glared me with expressionless face but I could clearly say he was pissed out. “I am sorry, I was just zoned out.”… I stated in a low voice. Since I was close to him and my face was near his chin as he was standing in front of me like a mountain, I was sure he heard me.
Raven did not say anything. His pupils softened the moment as my words reached his ear drums. “Let’s go in.”… He closed the door behind me while I initiated my walk ahead. I could feel him behind me, I could feel his breaths on my back and I could tell he was busy with his phone.
Everything changed, his looks, habits but not his addiction toward his phone. He seemingly engrossed himself so much into his phone that he did not even recognize when we reached near the low staircase of the bungalow across the main door.
“Ouch!”… Closing my eyes in fear I prepared my self as I was going to hit the ground after twisting my feet due to the high heels, however I never felt the pebbled artificial walkway hurt me.
When I opened my eyes I found my self hanging in his arms with him slightly leaning on me. His eyes locked with mine and suddenly the time seemed like rewinding again. I can’t help but assume ourselves back in our college times. And to make it more special for myself, I remembered the day I met him.
It was the third month going on after the college started, it was though for me my first day of college. I was transferred from my college from the Philippines to Don Bosco Institute, USA.
Philippines is where I come from to this versatile Institute of USA, Don Bosco. One of the best colleges of America and counted among the big colleges of America. I was transferred there because I topped the exams and came second in the state.
I don’t know the name of the topper who stood first in the state, but I was told he was given admission in Harvard University, Massachusetts. I was nervous and very scared. Meeting new people, changing the college I wanted to be in suddenly and then getting transferred for my own good was too much for me to take in. I was on the gate of DBI (Don Bosco Institute) standing with my heavy two trunks and a backpack.
I was not ready to go there initially. I had no money, no relatives and no idea as to how will I be able to cope up with big people there. Even my English was not that good, just that I could understand it better and manage to reply. I like competition, but competing with the geniuses was not something I could every do!
I had taken a step forward to go in when, “Ohh even I saw the film. But honestly it did not meet up with my expectations.”… I heard somebody on my back speak.
The voice was husky, clear and pleasing accent that voice was chiming in my ears whenever it resonated around. It was hypnotizing. I lose my focus that made me stumble with my steps and eventually the trunks from both of my hands fell down while I was just on the verge of slapping the ground. I closed my eyes making it simpler for me to take the pain of falling on the concrete floor but it never came.
Yes, it never came because I was held by my waist.
When I opened my eyes, they met with a pair of pupils that stared me intently thus skipping my heart. The pair of eyes that I fell instantly for!
His lips were appealing, hairs were covering his face as he leaned against my body in a pose. I don’t think I would have ever had realized he let his phone fall while he held me tight. That moment was magical! It was so one of the best moments I have had with Raven.
“Kia-raaaa!”… I experienced a hard shake as if I was standing near a construction site where the workers dig the land with that pencil kind of digger instrument and that noise that emits, shakes everyone. It though bought me back to land still I was shocked, what was that for?
After several blinks when I looked at him in my front, I got the whole gist of everything. “I am just done with your day dreaming Kiara Diaz!”… He stomped his foot grinding his teeth together.
“I am sorry I was just-“
“Zoned out again, weren’t you?”… He finished it for me.
I passed him a smile with a confident nod letting him know that he caught me. Raven Carter knows me better than anyone else.
No sooner have I bobbed my skull than he faked a cry with a pout. “I don’t know how I am going to bear you for a fucking year! You are pain in my ass Kiara.”… He bellowed shaking his head vigorously.
It might be his frustration he effused on me, but he does not know it hit me here, right through my heart. “Now get your limbs on working… I am heck tired. You have already ruined my day!”… He hissed moving further. “Now come on in.”… Holding my wrist he trawled me along.
Again another badge of hot tears tanked my eyes, I did not dare to let them fall down. But still his words echo as if he was continuously saying them. Just as we were near his room, he let go of my hand and dashed in leaving me on the door.
“Congratulations, he hurt you third time in the day.”
My heart mocked.
Tbc…
CHAPTER 8I was in the room alone. Afternoon’s blazing sun was overhead, Raven has got a call and left for some important meeting immediately. I attempted to ask him what was the matter notwithstanding he only said, “I will tell you everything once I am back, trust me. There are so many things I want to discuss with you.” And left not before giving me a feathery kisson my neck.And guess what, I was alone in the entire bungalow with Girard. I begged him to not go, I was sure his brother would do something to me once Raven will leave. And that was why I locked the door, to be on the safer side I placed a table across the same to take every possible measure to keep him away from me.As for now, I was on the bed in my gown with folded legs, I have had curled my hairs into a bun and washed my face. Wearing make up has always been a concern for me. It bothers me, what if acne and rashes appears on my face if I keep
CHAPTER 9Kiara point of view….My throat went dry, the way his eyes narrowed and glared me, I was almost on the verge of passing out. He is handsome, six pack abs, challenging personality but the thing that makes everyone hate him is his nature. That bully nature. Even today when the old friends or old classmates accidentally stumble by and see him, they sweat only by getting a glimpse of his face.The time really had flown by but his old self still holds that dread that can kill anyone!“I…. I” I fumbled.He slightly bobbed his head allowing me to go further unfortunately, I did not know where to start from. His eyes were enough for me to start sweating!Honestly I was never courageous enough to open my mouth in front of him. He threatened me like the monster of any horror movie with disgusting teeth, long nails and lips
CHAPTER 10A drizzling night!The clouds were slightly drizzling, there was fog covering the area while the dew condensed on the transparent glass of Kiara’s window was slipping down. The atmosphere was good. Perfect one to sit silently near the balcony with a hot cup of coffee and talk.The lights were switched off, only the ceilings lights were turned on that made all the object, show pieces to gleam in its light. Raven was in the wash room changing his clothes. While Kiara stood across the balcony enjoying the beautiful scenery there, many a thoughts struck her mind!The month of October with winters approaching was best. The heater was on, how everything unlike a new couple’s bed, their bed was not decorated with flowers! There were no fragrance candles too. Even he did not make her feel as though they would be having their first night tonight!She let out a sigh leaning on
CHAPTER 11Confession.Raven’s point of view…Her skin was as soft as silk. The more close I held her the more I craved her skin. She has not changed even a bit. She had maintained herself like the old Kiara from college. Everybody hated me, all the guys. They wanted to own her as theirs but I got to mark her with my name.I met her on the college gate for the first time. It was her first day, she was a transfer and the topper of her state who was given the opportunity to study in our esteemed institute. Her first gaze was magical. It was enough to bring someone like me on his knees.She spelled me such that I ended up proposing her.I ravished her skin as much as I can. She never permitted me to go beyond neck kisses that was frustrating, but having her so close— was like a dream come true. Where in the college all the ot
CHAPTER 12Ward-38.The drizzling night was now replaced by foggy night. The room has become seemingly comfortable for the night unless, Kiara turned to her right side. She roamed her palm to feel him beside her but to her surprise the side was empty.She lazily unclasped her lashes rubbing them sluggishly. “Raven!” she yawningly called got his name while in the manner moving around her eyes in the entire room. The white shining flooring has the reflection of all the objects kept in the room. His big fledged room with a massive foyer, a comfy set of peach colored sofas, and the teak wood furniture with white paint complimented the room well.There was floor to ceiling long balcony curtained with shady curtains while the ceilings dim lights made everything clear that there was no one else other than her in the room. Yet to hit her satisfaction level and make an increment in her
CHAPTER 13His outburst!Author’s point of view…It was 7.00 in the morning when Girard and Raven decided to take a leave from the hospital. Billy though could not get relief from his pain but as for now he was sleeping peacefully under the effects of sedatives. Once he was peacefully taken over by the slumber, the appointed officers allowed Raven to only see him through the circular mirror built in the door.His parents, Mr. And Mrs. Carter were sitting next to little boy on the either side on the stools. They were not so old, their physical appearance— pleasing and impressive. While Mr. Hardin Carter was dressed in his suit, there Mrs. Kelly Carter seemed beautiful in her night gown. She was time to time caressing baby Carter’s hair adoring his pallid face. On the contrary, Mr. Carter tiringly sighed, he was in his formal clothes indicating h
CHAPTER 14Unexpected truth!The situation was as tensed as it could be right now. Kiara shed tears of hurt and pain while Girard helplessly fixated his eyes on her. He had his jaw clenched in sympathy which he has for her. It was not her mistake, yet she has to take his out burst. Raven immediately left after that incident and right now only Kiara was left in the house with her cruel husband’s bully brother who was proving out to be her only company now.Having settled together on the breakfast table, they silently sat not uttering even a single word. She was lost in her reverie crying her heart out quietly while her brother-in-law sat there watching her longingly. “What is wrong with him? What is he hiding from me, and you?” Girard was playing with a fork until he heard her heavy voice clearly indicating her agony.Although he thanked the lord that she at least s
CHAPTER 15Disturbed souls.Author’s point of view…There has to be at least some space for a person to be able to breathe unfortunately, for Girard, it seems as if he was locked in a square shaped room that hardly had a steps distance around. His throat turned as dry as desert while his eyes filled up with new badge of tears. Having mixed emotions of fear, regret, anxiety and serenity going through him, he looked nowhere but her face.On the other hand, she only smiled. A smile that said so many things yet nothing. Kiara was baffled to see him in such state. Never have she ever in her entire life thought that she will one day get to see her bully crying like that in front of her. The sight was amusing but still saddening.The two of them stood face to face staring each other. Even not for a nano second did their eyes diverted or blinked. Such a cri
