.............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.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxebTgmbI7
"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.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXk2rdUt3P
"That's not right. You faced everything because you allowed it to happen," he retorted loudly.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9ER6uqvVn
"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.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPq6vPHIVm
"No, you didn't have to do anything, but you didn't have to paint yourself as the villain," he responded.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVBdlMMieT
"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.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPbj4VrMTC
"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.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzsYh1SSw6
"I won't cry anymore, but can you do something that will make me forget Ayaan forever?" she asked hesitantly.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wrqyvWZPu
"Forget? I can't do that, but yes, I can help you hate him forever," he replied firmly.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKJNgmEAWj
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."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0XdswFlhZ
"And I wonder why everyone always believed me when I said I felt down and got these."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxsTtNlov8
"They probably never cared; humans can be disgusting."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4A3EWHj4Nr
"Finally, you get it. Nobody cares about anybody else until they need something from them."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPTkJZ4zB3
"And even the thought of this is frightening."he replied.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCODDT2aX9T
As I extended my arm, he closed his eyes, and a green smoke enveloped my arm.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiyF1x3l1G
"Will it truly heal?"841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ePoamsCjs
"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.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAem2XsQuUb
I Remained silent, gazing at the pond, without uttering a word as the scars on my arm vanished.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblu6VojMfX
"What? Don't you think you can stop hurting yourself?"He asked again.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASmLB8kSfP
"No, I can stop it. I know that, but I can't mend myself; something inside me is broken."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurU7zgz8gQ
"You don't have to do that. It will happen in time; just live," he comforted, his eyes meeting mine.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9IJOB5TiN
"H-how can I hate him?"841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6676yAM1ME
"Hmm... Want to see him naked?"841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oqblTQQuh
"What???" I exclaimed in shock.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWpaWgWpVW
"I was just joking, hahaha. And look at you, you fell for it."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXJi3dlhBt
"Yuck, what kind of joke was that?"841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpHvswfebW
"Here," he said before closing his eyes, muttering something under his breath, "turn around."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLW7vkmGuO
I turned to see Ayaan.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4x3U1nRp7K
"Is this like a wax figure?"841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZwYK6R6Fs
"Kind of, but you can direct all your anger at this statue," he said, smirking.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOcbKMPKnB
"Oh," as I lunged towards the statue and touched its cheek.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcMlJU6WiV
"Kiddo, if I were in your shoes, I'd be smashing that statue by now instead of just poking its cheek."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8t59OJ2z0y
"Yeah, you're right. Despite his handsome face, he made my life hell," I said as I punched him.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUahBVlCc9
"Kill him," he commanded.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsK6MXOhFPg
"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.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnH8DvR3p4K
"Want me to make more people?" He inquired.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6G3ubp5cX
"Yes, Pankti, Arth," I echoed.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMG4Wl1fWS
"I haven't seen them, little human," he replied in a somber tone.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYq3klpcpy9
"Fine, I'll introduce you to them," I retorted.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UmARf0kn2
"No need, focus on destroying this human first," he insisted, as I continued my assault on the replica of Ayaan for several more minutes.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtHL8cECC7
Exhausted, I rested, hands on my knees, feeling drained like an athlete after a grueling race.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveapqHkJbx
"Feeling relieved?" he taunted with a smirk.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuP1KRdwE2
"Yes, but I can't bring myself to hate him," I confessed.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmSA49HPsC
"You will, mark my words. In a few days, you'll come to despise everyone," he predicted ominously.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLvXAhsy08
"What? Everyone?" I gasped, taken aback by his dark prophecy.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQqQS4wdOu
"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.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqC9WXD7fHu
"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.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4955PaVS5B
"I... I don't get what you mean," I stammered.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34cxngQ6tk
"You'll figure it out, don't sweat it," he reassured me.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmK3WpExtt
"It's been about an hour since we left Earth. Should we head back?" I asked, feeling a bit disoriented.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWyHnsBfao
"Yeah, we should go back. Time moves differently here, so it'll probably be morning when we return," he explained.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQ3hfnoxLY
"What?!" I exclaimed in confusion.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNmxz9z8d3
"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.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUF38fF5n7
"Yeah, you mentioned time moves slower here compared to Earth."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjOmr6jjld
"Let's drop you off at home now that your new session is starting..." he began.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNebDhirFC2
"I've already caused enough harm to myself, and now I won't listen to anyone," I asserted firmly, cutting him off.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rrsBWW8SA
"No, listen to everyone, but do what I say," he responded with a smile.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYevF4LiDg
"Hehe... okay," I replied, smiling back, realizing he was a bit crazy.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDY6LY7OQj
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.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZhB3gUt1r
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.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4phZ4GkH6
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.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVViJIvtPw
