.............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.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqOzmYw8KG
"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.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgu1Jz6WRb
"That's not right. You faced everything because you allowed it to happen," he retorted loudly.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBHQ74ejWc
"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.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfWitPsnO9
"No, you didn't have to do anything, but you didn't have to paint yourself as the villain," he responded.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJv4WtO3moc
"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.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmcFeoxsRx
"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.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vSUh3nbFd
"I won't cry anymore, but can you do something that will make me forget Ayaan forever?" she asked hesitantly.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2slIQrOSjN
"Forget? I can't do that, but yes, I can help you hate him forever," he replied firmly.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOaP5ivbXu
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."330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNHRmx1L1c
"And I wonder why everyone always believed me when I said I felt down and got these."330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNMJPUE5ac
"They probably never cared; humans can be disgusting."330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYeMf6s1fck
"Finally, you get it. Nobody cares about anybody else until they need something from them."330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfex8jOyvdY
"And even the thought of this is frightening."he replied.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRKsajbbT3
As I extended my arm, he closed his eyes, and a green smoke enveloped my arm.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hrQWEdE13
"Will it truly heal?"330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLomK74Ij5r
"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.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCuGB5BZll
I Remained silent, gazing at the pond, without uttering a word as the scars on my arm vanished.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRog0Aa53P
"What? Don't you think you can stop hurting yourself?"He asked again.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxJNaSBhOH
"No, I can stop it. I know that, but I can't mend myself; something inside me is broken."330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8DQ9cgV1A
"You don't have to do that. It will happen in time; just live," he comforted, his eyes meeting mine.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoeBwk2eF6
"H-how can I hate him?"330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfMv7rb3g6
"Hmm... Want to see him naked?"330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbna28zJLO
"What???" I exclaimed in shock.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsmj9g4eNt
"I was just joking, hahaha. And look at you, you fell for it."330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVETUZAxPWt
"Yuck, what kind of joke was that?"330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61xVKsQGcR
"Here," he said before closing his eyes, muttering something under his breath, "turn around."330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLHb3BxzoJ
I turned to see Ayaan.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mjVnepKVz
"Is this like a wax figure?"330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsheDfmCVl1
"Kind of, but you can direct all your anger at this statue," he said, smirking.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTfEtcGFyo
"Oh," as I lunged towards the statue and touched its cheek.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOA1HBJMh0O
"Kiddo, if I were in your shoes, I'd be smashing that statue by now instead of just poking its cheek."330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkus0iEIMC
"Yeah, you're right. Despite his handsome face, he made my life hell," I said as I punched him.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Cl9n50l5A
"Kill him," he commanded.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPPR4yqPuR
"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.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGH80LaOyX8
"Want me to make more people?" He inquired.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yBvWdRf7I
"Yes, Pankti, Arth," I echoed.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiH662jkFwV
"I haven't seen them, little human," he replied in a somber tone.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPh9qCEzue
"Fine, I'll introduce you to them," I retorted.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7HyyKvjwd
"No need, focus on destroying this human first," he insisted, as I continued my assault on the replica of Ayaan for several more minutes.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDiJP6mIb3
Exhausted, I rested, hands on my knees, feeling drained like an athlete after a grueling race.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObUHbQMLcn
"Feeling relieved?" he taunted with a smirk.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0dZ9qTotm
"Yes, but I can't bring myself to hate him," I confessed.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7V4leQvAC
"You will, mark my words. In a few days, you'll come to despise everyone," he predicted ominously.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkucou0NBUo
"What? Everyone?" I gasped, taken aback by his dark prophecy.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLJfU6IydM
"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.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3quCSJrT9g
"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.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Q5tKAxGk7
"I... I don't get what you mean," I stammered.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83ZGVgCN4o
"You'll figure it out, don't sweat it," he reassured me.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VJ6KBOTh7
"It's been about an hour since we left Earth. Should we head back?" I asked, feeling a bit disoriented.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNViw6VqRj
"Yeah, we should go back. Time moves differently here, so it'll probably be morning when we return," he explained.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2DIYZrgDc
"What?!" I exclaimed in confusion.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPhGiavB5F
"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.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqzqacsCX8
"Yeah, you mentioned time moves slower here compared to Earth."330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLuMRQg8C9
"Let's drop you off at home now that your new session is starting..." he began.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDnEmon4I4
"I've already caused enough harm to myself, and now I won't listen to anyone," I asserted firmly, cutting him off.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkB6ky4GVY
"No, listen to everyone, but do what I say," he responded with a smile.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPT9AHlILt
"Hehe... okay," I replied, smiling back, realizing he was a bit crazy.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GuL4suYum
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.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzStkjgQT1
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.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrelBWsvCRB
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.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9jGySYP6G
