《If only I knew you (UNEDITED)》Chapter 58: When Saviour meets Survivor

I looked at her with shock written on my face. What was she doing here?, how does she know Ezhil?

"I can't believe I am meeting you again" she smiled widely at me while I just looked at her dumbfounded. Noticing my expression, her smile melted down into a straight line. "Um, hi, I mean you and here?" I asked with a frown on my face, glancing back at the group and then at her with utter confusion.

She tucked her hair strand behind her ear and smiled softly. I then noticed her glancing at Ezhil. I looked at him and noticed how the two looked so similar. Similar nose, similar lips, same hair colour. My eyes then widened in realisation.

No, it couldn't be!

"I'm Ezhil's elder sister" As soon as those words left her mouth, I stumbled back a bit, shocked at the news I just received. My eyes turned to him who was looking down with sadness. "He....he is your brother?" I asked in disbelief, pointing my finger at him. She nodded her head. I shook my head and blinked a few times taking my time to take this new information in my head. "WHAT?" I suddenly yelled making her flinch back in shock.

"Wait hold on, weren't you blind?" I raised my eyebrow at her. She sighed and nodded her head. "Yes, I was blind but about 8 years ago I got eye surgery done, causing my eye sight to come back" she stated with a smile. I was about to nod until I stopped and gazed at her face.

"If you are his sister then...." I looked at him with betrayal, tears welling up in my eyes. I scoffed and looked away with disgust. I can't believe this...I really can't believe this. I ran my hand through my hair, my fingers pinching the bridge of my nose. "Eysha-", "He knew didn't he?" I cut her off. Preeti's eyes widened, her waterline filled with tears as she shook her head. She gulped, taking in a deep breath before opening her mouth to respond. "No, no he didn't know anything until after you left. He didn't know you were the one who saved me, in fact he didn't know anything about you as I didn't tell him. I only mentioned about the incident that happened that night as it added fear in my mind" she sniffled her tears back.

"You had a sister who....who was going to get...." I stopped talking as I just looked at him with disbelief and utter disappointment. His eyes filled with water as he looked at me with plead moving a few steps closer to me but I just shook my head moving a few steps back.

A bitter laugh left my lips as I gazed at the floor. "Eyshana, I swear, I swear I didn't know that it was you who-", "Not a good excuse" I cut him off with coldness. "E-eyshana" his voice cracked. I felt a hand on my shoulder making me flinch. "You deserve to know the truth Eyshana, will you...will you please come over at our place. I will explain everything" Preeti spoke, her eyes begging me to say yes.

I gave her a blank look, staring into her eyes for a few seconds until I turned away. I need to know, I need to know why they did this to me, why they ruined my life, I need to know everything, only then I will feel better. I wiped my tears and nodded. "Okay" I mumbled.

"Please sit, do you want coffee?, tea?, juice?, wat-"

"Nothing" I cut Preeti off rudely who looked at me with hurt but nodded. They all sat down on the couches while Preeti sat beside me. She placed her hand over mine, rubbing her thumb over my knuckles to calm me but little did she know it wasn't helping at all.

"W-why?" my voice quivered.

"Why did you do this?" I looked at him with glistening eyes but I didn't allow my tears to fall. A shaky breath left his lips, his eyes watering as he looked down with shame. "10 years ago Preeti was in an accident. Before the accident she was in the hospital for her eye-surgery, remember when I told you about that?" he spoke. I nodded my head as I sniffled back my tears. "During her stay at the hospital a nurse brought her outside and left her alone near the road side. Having no eye-sight Preeti accidently walked into the road and a car suddenly hit her and that's when I reached the hospital to meet her"

I looked at Preeti with sadness who only gave me a soft smile. I looked back at Ezhil who continued narrating the story. "I was angered when I found my sister laying on the ground surrounded by her blood. She also went into coma for a few weeks because of that hit. I was angry at that nurse for leaving her there knowing that my sister was blind, so I decided to look at the cameras to see who the driver was but shockingly it turned out to be y-you" he whispered at the end making me shocked.

"Me? but I wasn't even there" I defended myself. He wiped a tear of his cheek and nodded. "Yes, I know but in the cameras it looked like you. The same clothing, same hair, same car, the only thing that wasn't visible was your face. Without even thinking I blamed everything on you and I-'m s-sorry for that E-eyshana. I shouldn't have jumped into conclusion, I should have tried finding out the truth. I-I..." he sucked in some air, looking away while he bit on his lip.

I was so shocked at what he just said. He blamed me for his sister's accident?, how could he?. After taking a few breaths he looked at me with regret swirling in his eyes. "I did a bit of research about you and found out about your parents. Your parents, they....they were once business partners with my mum and dad" he said making me mentally gasp.

What?

He nodded at my shocked expression. "Yes and I hated your parents to my core. You see, I grew up believing that the Roys were behind my father's death. I grew up believing that your parents stole from my dad and left us in debt, struggling to survive with no money, food or shelter, I thought that you were using me to take revenge for your parents and also planned Preeti's accident because of that same reason until one day....o-one d-day I found out t-that-" he ran his hand through his hair before placing it over his mouth.

"What?, what did you find out?" I asked with curiously, my hands slightly shaking as I waited for his response. He gave me an expression of pain before uttering words that boiled my blood. "I...I found out that it wasn't your parents who stole from my dad it was in-fact...my parents who stole from yours" he gritted out with disappointment.

I sat there in silence, my palms fisting in anger as I stared at the ground. "E-eyshana I-"

"Continue" I snapped with coldness.

"O-one day Sagar came once Preeti was out of coma, he brought in a girl with him. Her name was Roshani" he spat out with disgust. "Roshani?, who is she?" I asked with no expression. "My ex-girlfriend" he mumbled with a cough. I looked away and asked him what his ex-girlfriend got to do with all this.

"She was the one who planned it all. She dressed up like you so that it looked like you were the one who did the accident. She wanted me back, she was jealous of our relationship. I made sure she was jailed for life after what she did to Preeti and you" he finished now looking at me with tears.

We all sat there in silence, no one saying a word while I just stared at Ezhil with coldness. My eyes then moved to the others, stopping at Aliya who was standing far from us with tears rolling down her face.

I laughed lightly, shaking my head to myself. "Okay....okay" I nodded to myself. "Eyshana I don-", "Your sister was in coma, I was blamed...okay I understand but what did I do to you all?, what did I do to you Aliya that you had too ruin my life even more?, what did I do to you Farhan and Sunny that made you both hate me so much?, what did I do to you Vicky and Sona?"

"WHAT DID I FUCKING DO TO YOU ALL FOR YOU TO RUIN MY ENTIRE LIFE?" I yelled making them all jump with shock. "I..I was in love with E-ezhil" a voice suddenly spoke. We all whipped our heads at Aliya. She looked at me with fear and sadness. "I wanted him for myself and to statisfy my ego I...I spread your nudes. I am so ashamed of myself Eyshana. Being a girl, I ruined another girl's reputation, her dignity not knowing how it feels like being insulted or people talking badly about your character but god punished me Eyshu, he punished me" she folded her hand and walked towards me. "I don't deserve your forgiveness. I am a cheap girl who disrespected another girl, ruining her self respect. I'm so sorry Eyshana....I'm s-so sorry" she sobbed as she looked down with guilt and regret.

I gave her a disgusted look. To be honest I did feel bad for her. No girl deserves what happened to me and her but again I can't control karma or fate. "Eyshana...I didn't k-", "You better shut your mouth Mr Edwards" I cut Sunny off with a hard glare. I stood up in anger and stormed towards him who instantly stood up with tears in his eyes. "What did my sister do to you other than love you huh?, what did she do to you Sunny?, was it because she was related to me?, did you hate me that much that you chose to cheat and kill my sister?" I snapped at him, tears streaming down my face.

Sunny shook as he folded his hands asking for forgiveness. "No...no...no, this sorry won't do anything, no one's sorry won't do anything. You don't understand how it feels to lose someone who means the world to you. You didn't just kill my sister, you killed an innocent baby, my sister's baby but you know what, it's good, it's good that they are not here. At least the child wouldn't have a father who is a cheater and also a rapist" I spat at him. He snapped his head at me with shock.

"N-no Eyshana, p-please...p-please don't say that...d-don't say t-that Eyshana p-please, she means so much to me, I-" I silenced him by slapping him across the face. A loud sound echoed against the walls as I heard gasps behind me. He then sobbed as he fell onto his knees, crying in his hands. "You people can't even bear hearing the truth" I scoffed.

"Eyshana, I know...I know we committed sins, I know we hurt you so much beyond repair but please...please give us a chance, give me a chance. I regret everything so much Eyshana, I regret it so much that I want to kill myself" Ezhil stood in front of me pleading while I gave him a blank look, my eyes red and teary, my hands forming into fists.

"We don't deserve you Eyshana, we really don't but you mean so much to us. We didn't realise we lost a gem until you vanished. You helped Sona fight her rapi-"

"I helped Sona fight against her rapists yet here mine are standing right in front of me" I cut Farhan off, my head tilted as I gave him a disgusted look. "E-yshu" his voice cracked with pain. He moved closer to me making me feel uncomfortable. "Don't come close to me....just don't" I stated. He stopped, hurt swirling in his eyes as he took a few steps back.

Why didn't Sagar tell me all this?

Why did he hide it from me?

I turned around to leave this house of hell until a hand caught my wrist making me instantly rip my hand away. I looked behind me only to see a figure kneeling on his knees, his hands folded as he rocked forward and backwards, causing me to move back with shock as he cried.

He raised his head, his eyes blood shot red covered with under bags, plead and desperation swirling in his eyes as he folded his hands in forgiveness.

"I won't be able to live without you Eyshana, I love you so much, so much that it hurts, it hurts here" he rubbed his chest where his heart was. "P-please Eyshana....I beg you...I beg you p-please d-don't go...d-don't go Eyshu.....d-don't l-leave me" he whispered with pain, looking down at the floor again as his body shook

I just looked at him with pure rage, my face was blank but my brain was on fire until an idea came to my mind and I prayed to god that I didn't regret what I decided to do.

I bent down and caressed his hair. He slowly raised his head at me, his face wearing a shocked expression. I placed my hand over his cheek causing him to instantly hold it, taking it to his lips and kissing it repeatedly, his tears now falling onto my hand.

"You hurt me a lot Ezhil" I cried. "You hurt me so much, that this here-" I placed my hand on my chest where my heart was, "has shattered into so many pieces" he gulped and grasped onto my hand like he was scared, scared to let go of my hand.

"I will heal you Eyshana....I will heal you with my love....I will give you everything, everything you ask for just....just don't let go...p-please" he pleaded with desperation. I gave him a soft smile and stroked his cheek.

"Okay"
