.............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.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaksBdpiG63
"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.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5RZa9he3x
"That's not right. You faced everything because you allowed it to happen," he retorted loudly.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsDjyaRiMn
"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.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoN6F6mLl8H
"No, you didn't have to do anything, but you didn't have to paint yourself as the villain," he responded.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxrS0BObUp
"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.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7uT17yNxA
"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.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EE391Obb6
"I won't cry anymore, but can you do something that will make me forget Ayaan forever?" she asked hesitantly.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eiA58bMty
"Forget? I can't do that, but yes, I can help you hate him forever," he replied firmly.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6uLvBvBm8
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."374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwN6P9VriWD
"And I wonder why everyone always believed me when I said I felt down and got these."374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QbvQzTvtr
"They probably never cared; humans can be disgusting."374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBOFENY9vI
"Finally, you get it. Nobody cares about anybody else until they need something from them."374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9EuHAzIjx
"And even the thought of this is frightening."he replied.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmZAkEP9Dx
As I extended my arm, he closed his eyes, and a green smoke enveloped my arm.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu95WvdYfRf
"Will it truly heal?"374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWH8y4FL7j
"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.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBonGyNTvtw
I Remained silent, gazing at the pond, without uttering a word as the scars on my arm vanished.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83Ivhwu9Qk
"What? Don't you think you can stop hurting yourself?"He asked again.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbl4FUJxBvs
"No, I can stop it. I know that, but I can't mend myself; something inside me is broken."374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmBEmC5BJ5
"You don't have to do that. It will happen in time; just live," he comforted, his eyes meeting mine.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lV93IJUZy
"H-how can I hate him?"374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUFCDJeq41
"Hmm... Want to see him naked?"374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisYhAFRWFe
"What???" I exclaimed in shock.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsyrP8SBzC
"I was just joking, hahaha. And look at you, you fell for it."374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRcC1OvncX
"Yuck, what kind of joke was that?"374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmN9Xe9ASZ5
"Here," he said before closing his eyes, muttering something under his breath, "turn around."374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOQYnI4hmw
I turned to see Ayaan.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMQPGkcy6N
"Is this like a wax figure?"374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yPGvWjsm3
"Kind of, but you can direct all your anger at this statue," he said, smirking.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrataM5CkZE
"Oh," as I lunged towards the statue and touched its cheek.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbfXw6ZcvF
"Kiddo, if I were in your shoes, I'd be smashing that statue by now instead of just poking its cheek."374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pQoawCH4l
"Yeah, you're right. Despite his handsome face, he made my life hell," I said as I punched him.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5BhOstUjW
"Kill him," he commanded.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvW2s9UVIv0
"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.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSGO6qF1Sz
"Want me to make more people?" He inquired.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2J576kWlW
"Yes, Pankti, Arth," I echoed.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUg9eRLXky1
"I haven't seen them, little human," he replied in a somber tone.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkDFcpR4bx
"Fine, I'll introduce you to them," I retorted.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsIo28lnfF
"No need, focus on destroying this human first," he insisted, as I continued my assault on the replica of Ayaan for several more minutes.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiNZy5SGYz
Exhausted, I rested, hands on my knees, feeling drained like an athlete after a grueling race.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnE9rr6WuR4
"Feeling relieved?" he taunted with a smirk.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZnDGLzwDG
"Yes, but I can't bring myself to hate him," I confessed.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVLifZY2QN
"You will, mark my words. In a few days, you'll come to despise everyone," he predicted ominously.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQTUMhh7Ur
"What? Everyone?" I gasped, taken aback by his dark prophecy.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndQOVRcF6z
"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.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlZ7FUrAUt
"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.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8S7qYAEXJ
"I... I don't get what you mean," I stammered.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRx3NinzWQT
"You'll figure it out, don't sweat it," he reassured me.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJC2SraRpC
"It's been about an hour since we left Earth. Should we head back?" I asked, feeling a bit disoriented.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVksqh71KhE
"Yeah, we should go back. Time moves differently here, so it'll probably be morning when we return," he explained.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIY9TO2j0B
"What?!" I exclaimed in confusion.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2f0oQqnIR
"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.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRD5iBANSr
"Yeah, you mentioned time moves slower here compared to Earth."374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWsUfdyULf
"Let's drop you off at home now that your new session is starting..." he began.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTaZN1xTQf
"I've already caused enough harm to myself, and now I won't listen to anyone," I asserted firmly, cutting him off.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbr5dgt7Vu
"No, listen to everyone, but do what I say," he responded with a smile.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKx3LCpENVP
"Hehe... okay," I replied, smiling back, realizing he was a bit crazy.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4k7CzmxDy
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.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftRWsbrq9N
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.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjC2bPW2IkX
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.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88Vv3OJr25
