.............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.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdTRx8Nj2Y
"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.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdudjj1UMV
"That's not right. You faced everything because you allowed it to happen," he retorted loudly.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXUwLa5mIu
"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.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoG9xNGgCSi
"No, you didn't have to do anything, but you didn't have to paint yourself as the villain," he responded.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tUCBpjHAD
"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.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzekBzViE8
"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.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkL2tuwpjNE
"I won't cry anymore, but can you do something that will make me forget Ayaan forever?" she asked hesitantly.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvrWyL72VA
"Forget? I can't do that, but yes, I can help you hate him forever," he replied firmly.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJHLGFk6pu
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."368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPW0GQsQgH
"And I wonder why everyone always believed me when I said I felt down and got these."368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDYKb6pWUp
"They probably never cared; humans can be disgusting."368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSXfBsKP7f
"Finally, you get it. Nobody cares about anybody else until they need something from them."368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfsH5Dbck2
"And even the thought of this is frightening."he replied.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztMYDCbFC9
As I extended my arm, he closed his eyes, and a green smoke enveloped my arm.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaBlSx1h4d
"Will it truly heal?"368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoqFv2BzbI
"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.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bAR1XMMSm
I Remained silent, gazing at the pond, without uttering a word as the scars on my arm vanished.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgvThIs4kL
"What? Don't you think you can stop hurting yourself?"He asked again.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKbq5xpU2g
"No, I can stop it. I know that, but I can't mend myself; something inside me is broken."368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWke5aaUDSG
"You don't have to do that. It will happen in time; just live," he comforted, his eyes meeting mine.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHxZCSpEiz
"H-how can I hate him?"368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedtiSdiRp2
"Hmm... Want to see him naked?"368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBFXUHC4Ib
"What???" I exclaimed in shock.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwK2K94BLnc
"I was just joking, hahaha. And look at you, you fell for it."368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQ50p2wpcM
"Yuck, what kind of joke was that?"368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNvA9C3wyX
"Here," he said before closing his eyes, muttering something under his breath, "turn around."368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70CSvJ0D7C
I turned to see Ayaan.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFY8hgo9Tqk
"Is this like a wax figure?"368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlpnblBIgz
"Kind of, but you can direct all your anger at this statue," he said, smirking.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiLr76Y6qV
"Oh," as I lunged towards the statue and touched its cheek.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwXp7kf1Kz
"Kiddo, if I were in your shoes, I'd be smashing that statue by now instead of just poking its cheek."368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiUxotpMAZ
"Yeah, you're right. Despite his handsome face, he made my life hell," I said as I punched him.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFZKu3f3Yf
"Kill him," he commanded.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoQw5cFyuY
"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.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkUNpK3SF9
"Want me to make more people?" He inquired.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzBpXHgr5J
"Yes, Pankti, Arth," I echoed.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgbwyT9LuW
"I haven't seen them, little human," he replied in a somber tone.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsqnYDp9qO
"Fine, I'll introduce you to them," I retorted.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmwmPfbHbz
"No need, focus on destroying this human first," he insisted, as I continued my assault on the replica of Ayaan for several more minutes.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADQgBg6xG3
Exhausted, I rested, hands on my knees, feeling drained like an athlete after a grueling race.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCrvzROTrO
"Feeling relieved?" he taunted with a smirk.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegcpCoYBFI
"Yes, but I can't bring myself to hate him," I confessed.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVPbvlwEnH
"You will, mark my words. In a few days, you'll come to despise everyone," he predicted ominously.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0BtlgABRR
"What? Everyone?" I gasped, taken aback by his dark prophecy.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtxJlbryae
"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.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyhE5mkz4X
"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.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CzLoEG5EA
"I... I don't get what you mean," I stammered.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GZrsWgaAE
"You'll figure it out, don't sweat it," he reassured me.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KI2KapZoM
"It's been about an hour since we left Earth. Should we head back?" I asked, feeling a bit disoriented.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQv0sgvcQ6
"Yeah, we should go back. Time moves differently here, so it'll probably be morning when we return," he explained.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPk4soy43c
"What?!" I exclaimed in confusion.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFsSrPqY6V
"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.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7jJL7DqYI
"Yeah, you mentioned time moves slower here compared to Earth."368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0IHUnZAyg
"Let's drop you off at home now that your new session is starting..." he began.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSAZKqtEnR
"I've already caused enough harm to myself, and now I won't listen to anyone," I asserted firmly, cutting him off.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yDRv9Dwjx
"No, listen to everyone, but do what I say," he responded with a smile.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48hyUT1CJw
"Hehe... okay," I replied, smiling back, realizing he was a bit crazy.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLrupx5meR
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.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDCAmiGTYZ
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.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnVwkSYk7X
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.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthoFIPEgT7
