.............Present............
" I tend to overanalyze everything, painting myself as the antagonist in every scenario. I remained in that state for the entire following week, silent, practically numb and lifeless. Eventually, I threw myself into my studies, aiming to break free from the cycle of overthinking. Before I knew it, I was immersed in intense studying for our pre-board exams, receiving accolades from everyone. Nishkarsh, on the other hand, continued to ignore me at school, as if nothing had transpired between us. We were essentially strangers, with that one incident defining his perception of me. Things seemed to settle, but my performance in the second math pre-board went down as I suffered headache during the exam. This led to me seeing the true sides of everyone they criticized me for my scores, even the kids who score nothing , questioning my unexpected dip in scores, even saying that I had scored below the average student in my class. My maths teacher said that I am being worse day by day and my father said I am not anymore the kid I once was, and my mother's harsh words pushed me to my breaking point..." I paused, tears welling up, as Tis gazed at me with sympathetic eyes."
"You've been through a lot---" he said quietly.306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlt6hcn79vg
"I then locked myself in my room and studied again. Once, while crying over something my teacher said, I accidentally cut myself with a cutter. It was painful, but the physical pain distracted me from the pain in my mind... So, I took the blade from my sharpener and it became my companion," I explained.306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFNM3hexrJ
"That's not right. You faced everything because you allowed it to happen," he retorted loudly.306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvN23aEqIdD
"So, what was I supposed to do, huh? Yell at my math teacher, or confront my father that I'm doing my best? Or tell Ayaan that despite hurting me deeply, I still care for him, huh?" I vented.306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQSvJmNQ1H
"No, you didn't have to do anything, but you didn't have to paint yourself as the villain," he responded.306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHF8VxwN1P
"I-I don't know, everything felt like it was suffocating me. I can't trust anyone, and even now, walking down the streets, I fear someone will approach me and declare me worthless." Tears streamed down my face. "You can't understand how I felt. One wrong answer, one cut; two wrong answers, two cuts. It felt like I wasn't solving questions; they were complicating me," I confessed.306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEAsiaWn1i
"It's okay, nothing happened, right? I know you've been through a lot, and trust me, give me your arm. I'll make those scars disappear. Don't cry like this; I don't know how to make a crying human happy," he reassured.306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxoRFH3Wuh
"I won't cry anymore, but can you do something that will make me forget Ayaan forever?" she asked hesitantly.306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH12FyCEnhI
"Forget? I can't do that, but yes, I can help you hate him forever," he replied firmly.306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQMEjL7yxo
I gazed into his eyes for a few moments before responding, "Yes, please. I actually want to dislike him."
"Alright, first show me your arm; these scars look quite severe."306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRME7E98Kxy
"And I wonder why everyone always believed me when I said I felt down and got these."306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQJlWNyXoq
"They probably never cared; humans can be disgusting."306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1kQ1KVHjW
"Finally, you get it. Nobody cares about anybody else until they need something from them."306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuCzCKIDwd
"And even the thought of this is frightening."he replied.306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyuy9URnnA
As I extended my arm, he closed his eyes, and a green smoke enveloped my arm.306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffLnF2QnkD
"Will it truly heal?"306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhxYRrN0h0
"Remember, kid, I can erase your scars but not your pain. So, make sure you don't do that again," he said in a very serious tone.306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJr7RfRRq5W
I Remained silent, gazing at the pond, without uttering a word as the scars on my arm vanished.306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrX17Vo4el
"What? Don't you think you can stop hurting yourself?"He asked again.306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQKuOjgQMQ
"No, I can stop it. I know that, but I can't mend myself; something inside me is broken."306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDrfchMYWM
"You don't have to do that. It will happen in time; just live," he comforted, his eyes meeting mine.306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JvdOWcq3Y
"H-how can I hate him?"306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwqw5hf5O6
"Hmm... Want to see him naked?"306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOu40T2ZazE
"What???" I exclaimed in shock.306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzGHvwHjUb
"I was just joking, hahaha. And look at you, you fell for it."306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0W5IQbsjB
"Yuck, what kind of joke was that?"306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBFINWUw5t
"Here," he said before closing his eyes, muttering something under his breath, "turn around."306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpxmkhZhEr
I turned to see Ayaan.306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF53VHl0Ydx
"Is this like a wax figure?"306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqDl6Dvq1e
"Kind of, but you can direct all your anger at this statue," he said, smirking.306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQ383FVSiH
"Oh," as I lunged towards the statue and touched its cheek.306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzU97rIHGka
"Kiddo, if I were in your shoes, I'd be smashing that statue by now instead of just poking its cheek."306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipCWaM8kUH
"Yeah, you're right. Despite his handsome face, he made my life hell," I said as I punched him.306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bDF2AhLKR
"Kill him," he commanded.306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0T06Uwyap
"Y-yes," I stuttered, unleashing a flurry of punches and slaps on the statue. "This one's for hurting me," I exclaimed with each blow, "and this one's for damaging my mental health," my anger fueling each strike.306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJRLhwphTg
"Want me to make more people?" He inquired.306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDaX5xZZQK
"Yes, Pankti, Arth," I echoed.306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLf8cwyEkTC
"I haven't seen them, little human," he replied in a somber tone.306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdlR8uaJdb
"Fine, I'll introduce you to them," I retorted.306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyvOWGPOh4
"No need, focus on destroying this human first," he insisted, as I continued my assault on the replica of Ayaan for several more minutes.306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTE7hSFVMq
Exhausted, I rested, hands on my knees, feeling drained like an athlete after a grueling race.306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKd61sguWg
"Feeling relieved?" he taunted with a smirk.306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgGJfMQmIS
"Yes, but I can't bring myself to hate him," I confessed.306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgVey0W27t
"You will, mark my words. In a few days, you'll come to despise everyone," he predicted ominously.306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuXPBkNyBs
"What? Everyone?" I gasped, taken aback by his dark prophecy.306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqoAlFxkbM
"Yes, you'll soon understand the harsh reality of this world. Just wait a bit longer," he concluded with a chilling certainty.
I stood there, lost for words, unsure how to respond.306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSN8GTw3bYr
"Hey, you gotta change your ways, kid. Being a victim won't get you anywhere. Become the hunter, or you'll be the one getting hunted," he advised, stepping closer.306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAiSD2inNQ
"I... I don't get what you mean," I stammered.306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHL8BVabISr
"You'll figure it out, don't sweat it," he reassured me.306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzR5srUBqXb
"It's been about an hour since we left Earth. Should we head back?" I asked, feeling a bit disoriented.306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtFDRXy5xs
"Yeah, we should go back. Time moves differently here, so it'll probably be morning when we return," he explained.306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefmY4TONAQ
"What?!" I exclaimed in confusion.306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsSFzh03WX
"Yeah, when you were chosen, I think the creator froze time. That's why when we went back, it was still the same day and hour," he clarified.306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7JMhRk6Mu
"Yeah, you mentioned time moves slower here compared to Earth."306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfv9Kb6goP
"Let's drop you off at home now that your new session is starting..." he began.306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9xAjeQbQ4
"I've already caused enough harm to myself, and now I won't listen to anyone," I asserted firmly, cutting him off.306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOucbEhoMnJ
"No, listen to everyone, but do what I say," he responded with a smile.306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtwAJrSFw6
"Hehe... okay," I replied, smiling back, realizing he was a bit crazy.306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDIYjcM3Ii
As we returned to Earth, it wasn't quite morning yet, so I headed to bed to get some rest. I was determined to fix myself and knew I could do it. I decided to ignore Ayaan, focus on my career, which I was still contemplating.306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWKGWaQ5H1
A few days later, my parents enrolled me in the science stream. They had asked for my opinion, but it felt more like they were telling me to choose science without any other option. Uncertain about my future career path, I agreed to follow their decision, giving myself these two years to figure things out.306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNEXmsPGny
I was resolute as I began my 11th-grade classes, embracing a new class, new faces, and a new version of myself. I made a promise to myself not to harm myself anymore, no matter what. While Tis kept a watchful eye on the women around me, it seemed like we were both busy transforming our lives, only to realize later that my assumptions were mistaken.306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhYtdpOrkx
