03— Tears of anxiety and anguish.

“Words mean nothing until and unless it is felt.”

— Saumya Tripathi

“Doesn't everything feel strange?” With a lump in my throat and a tight feeling in my chest that seeped into the veins, I exhaled with difficulty. “What should I make with all this?” 

He left without even sparing a single glance. That was the only question that resonated in my psyche, altogether, as if everything were normal for him. 

“Is this even real?” 

Minutes ambled by. . .

Standing there, alone in the foreign room with just my little brother clinging to me and no one else—just us—I stood stunned and, most probably, confused and dumbfounded. I wasn't able to proceed regarding what had happened. 

Which sane person would? 

But the heavy questions remained in my mind, hovering over me, disturbing me with more questions to which I didn't have any answers, unsteadily revolting me to no end.

Why would he want us here? What would he get while abducting us? Why was he forcing us to stay with him? Who was he, anyway?

With my heart in my mouth, everything felt surreal.

“No, this cannot be happening!”

Aghast with the questions, I stood there unmoving. I could not come to comprehend the situation in which I was finding myself entangled. How did that even happen? 

I blinked and blinked twice to clear my vision of anguished tears that were coming anew.

Inadvertently, still nonplussed, I retreated with tentative steps up to the sidewall of the room, sliding downward through it. I sat there without blinking this time. Holding a sleeping kid in my arms, closer to my heaving chest, I clasped my mouth with my other hand to refrain from crying out loud. Still, though, a sob escaped from my mouth, unknowingly. My tear-filled eyes remained downcast as I mulled over the unfortunate situation. I just let myself in. 

How? And most probably, why?! The questions still stayed unanswered. I didn't even remember how they were able to get us in here. I did not remember anything at all.

“What would become of us now?”

A knock sounded rather loud in the whole empty room, coming from outside the brownish-black wooden door. Startled by the unexpectedly loud sound, I jumped, horrified with a hammering heart. Immediately, I wiped my tear-stained cheeks from the back of my hand vigorously, not wanting to show anyone my vulnerable state. Because I shouldn't trust anyone here. 

"Can we come in, Miss?" A high-pitched feminine voice asked from outside the door just after knocking three times before.

Hello, my spectacular buddies!
Finally, I updated and I completely this chapter too. *long sigh*

It seriously takes a lot of will power and hard work to write even a single chapter.

Although, it does need hard work and time, but when it gets completed, the joy and pride that comes within us from the created plots and chapters, joys
knew no bounds. And as per for me I am happy that I achieved my another chapter too.

So, enjoy the chapter, my buddies.
