I shook my head as I came out of my imagination. Realizing the gun is still in my hand pointing towards Ezhil, I gulped glancing back at an unconscious Ezhil who was flat out dead on my bed.

"Don't" a feminine voice suddenly spoke making me freeze. Looking at the gun in my hand, I gasped allowing the gun to fall on the floor. Raising my shaky palms, I looked at them with horror before glancing down at the gun.

Stumbling back a little, I leaned my back onto the wall, covering my mouth with my hands as tears escaped from my eyes. What...what was I doing? I...I was going to kill him?

"This isn't you Eyshana" I snapped my head up when I heard the feminine voice again. Feeling my heart skip a beat, I felt like I was dreaming. Pinching my arm only to hiss, I widened my eyes, allowing a shaky breath to leave my mouth as I stared at the woman in white walking towards me.

"R-Riya" I whispered in horror as I slowly took steps towards her not believing my eyes. She stood there, looking so beautiful and pure like an angel. Giving me a sad expression, she cupped my cheeks with her cold palms wiping away my tears with her thumbs. "This isn't you Eyshana, my Eyshu would never hurt anyone let alone kill someone....that isn't you Eyshu....my Eyshu isn't a murderer....my Eyshu is a survivor" she painfully spoke while I continue staring at her with shock.

"You....you came" I hushed out causing her to break out a smile. "Of course I would come" hearing those words, I quickly wrapped my arms around her tightly jot wanting to lose her again. Breathing heavily I cried letting out all my emotions. "Please don't leave me again...p-please...please don't leave me" I clutched on to her tightly, afraid she would leave me again. Feeling her arms around, she leaned forward and whispered "I will always be there for you Eyshu...watching you from above...I am always by your side"

Not knowing when but my eyes slowly started to close, "Don't leave me Riya...please" I whispered before falling into a hole of blackness.

"Mmm," I moaned loving the hand that was caressing my hair. Snuggling more to my right, my body suddenly stiffened when I heard a deep chuckle coming from beside me. Slowly opening my eyes I turned to my side only to jump away immediately as I glared at the shirtless man laying on my bed. "Good Morning" he wiggled his fingers at me, a smirk laying on his lips while he laid there with his messy bed hair and emotions swirling in his eyes. Still staring at him with wide eyes for a few seconds, he clicked his fingers in front of my face making me snap out of my thoughts.

Looking around my room, I realized I was laying in bed beside him. Glancing all over the floor, I silently gasped seeing my gun missing from there.

Was it real?

Did Riya really come to meet me or was that just a......

"Dream" I whispered

"Huh?" Ezhil suddenly added.

Realizing what was happening, I snapped my head towards the man next to me and raised my hand slapping him across the face. "What the fuck do you think you're doing? barging into my room and that so drunk?" I snapped now getting out of bed. Rubbing his palm across his cheek, he placed his palm on his lips and kissed it making me grit my teeth. "Why did you leave without telling anyone?" he asked calmly, his voice now deep and husky as he stepped out of bed walking towards me. Looking away from his half-naked body, I exhaled a loud sigh and snapped my eyes at him. "That's none of your business, now get out of here and also my life" I hissed.

"Never" he whispered now standing too close to me. Pinching the bridge of my nose I sighed and looked away. "What is your problem Mital, what do you want now? Wasn't it enough what you did 10 years ago or do you-" "Shhh" he silenced me by placing his finger on my lips. "Calm down my beauty or else your blood pressure will go high" he mumbled while his eyes lingered on my lips. Furious and irritated, I slapped his hand away and was about to give him a piece of my mind before a knock on the door interrupted us.

Glaring at Ezhil who kept watching my every move, I walked towards the door and opened it up with a loud sigh only to allow the spark of anger inside me to grow even more. "Eyshana...are you okay? Is Ezhil here?" Preeti asked with worry. Ignoring Preeti, I glanced at the fake friends who were stood behind her looking at me with worry.

What's with him and his whole ganging following me?

Opening the door wide, I stretched out my hand pointing to Ezhil who was now walking towards us. Seeing Ezhil shirtless the girls gasped making me roll my eyes. "Did...did-" "It's kind of low of you to think I'll do something like that with my rapist Sona" I spoke with a cold tone without even looking at her. "I..I didn't mean it like that...sorry" she muttered.

Seeing them all standing outside my room, I moved back and gave them all a fake smile. "Please...feel free to come inside as you all loved to travel together as one whole group, please-" I stretched out my arm towards my room, "come in....in fact you can have this room...because I'm leaving" I stated with sarcasm but before I could leave the room, I felt an arm wrap around my waist pulling me back into the room.

"You're not going anyway beauty" a manly voice whispered seductively in my ear making me clench my jaw. Closing the door behind her, Preeti walked towards us and pulled Ezhil away, slapping him across his face. "P-Preeti" Ezhil's voice broke as he looked at his sister in shock. "What is this Ezhil? What are you doing in her room after I told you to stay away from her?" she scolded him. Moving back, I looked at the scene and noticed how the friends kept glancing at me, giving me sorrow looks.

Now turning towards me, Preeti gave me an embarrassed look and a sad smile. "Did he hurt you Eyshana...tell me I-" "I didn't do anything to her and neither will I ever hurt her again" Ezhil cut her off with anger as he stormed towards Preeti pulling her away from me. "I already regret what I did in the past Preeti and I would die before repeating those sins again. Don't interfere between my matters Preeti, y-"

"Excuse me" I added in causing him to look at me. "Don't interfere in my matters? really Ezhil? that's quite rich coming from you" I stated while he looked at me dumbfounded. "Your problem back 10 years ago was with me, yet your friends interfered, and at that time you had no problems, so why are you having problems with your sister interfering now?" I asked him with disgust.

Letting out a shaky breath, he cupped my cheeks and sighed, rubbing his thumbs over my skin. "P-please Eyshana....please...just....just don't bring up the past...please" he pleaded with his eyes closed. Shoving his hands away, a bitter laugh spilled from my lips. "Why?...does it hurt? I'm sure it's not as painful as to what you did to me" I attacked. Clenching his jaw as his eyes welled up with tears, he ran his shaky hand through his hair, looking at me with pain.

"Okay...fine...fine Eyshana....yes...yes I hurt you...I broke you...I hit you...I fucking raped you...I'm the reason behind Riya's death...ARE YOU HAPPY NOW EYSHANA...THAT'S WHAT YOU WANTED TO HEAR RIGHT?" he now yelled in my face as tears escaped from my eyes. His words echoed in my ears, the past memories getting unleashed again in my mind as I stumbled back a few steps. "Eyshu" Preeti quickly held me from falling as I slowly trailed my eyes at Ezhil who looked at me with concern.

"I agree what I did was wrong Eyshana" a shaky breath left his lips as he tiredly spoke out those words. "I agree...I agree I ruined your innocence in front of...of my friends" he spoke with pain "but...but" he wiped his eyes "I regret it, I fucking regret everything. I am also a human Eyshana, we all do sins, we all make mistakes in our lives but do we all not deserve second chances?" he bit his trembling bottom lip while I stared at him with hurt and tears trickling down my face.

Second chance?

He wants a second chance? after the things, he and his friends did to me?

The more he spoke, the more anger flamed inside me, watching his lips speak out every word felt like a bullet being shot into my chest.

"I know I don't deserve forgiveness, neither do I deserve you but I can't function without you Eyshana...I love yo-" having enough of his useless confessions, I raised my palm and slapped him so hard that the sound of flesh meeting flesh echoed in the room.

"EYSHANA" they all yelled as they moved towards Ezhil in concern. Ignoring their looks I stalked towards him, who was watching me with shock as I raised my hand again and slapped him on his other cheek with a loud echo causing his skin to redden.

"Love?" I asked in disbelief as I slapped him again. "Eyshana p-please" Preeti cried as she tried to stop me but I placed my hand out silencing her, not once taking my eyes away from Ezhil who had tears leaking out of his eyes. "What love?" I shook my head. "Huh...what love? tell me?" I slapped him again, pushing him away causing him to stumble a bit. "What type of love hit's their partner who has done nothing but be loyal to them? what type of love rapes their lover? no...no...no, what type of love rapes their lover in front of their friends so they can see their naked body...and see how they violated their body, adding scars to it...tell me...WHAT TYPE OF LOVE DOES THAT?" I yelled in his face ignoring the sobs that left his mouth.

"You think by coming into my room last night, trying to act innocent will make my heart melt for you?" I snapped. "Ey-" "QUIET" I silenced him by yelling in his face. "I can't believe you have the audacity to even ask for a second chance after what you did" I gave him a disappointed look. "This heart is like stone now" I pointed to my heart. "There is no warmth left in it, it's turned into ice and you are the reason behind it" I pointed at him with a firm look.

"You asked for a second chance right?" I asked calmly. Not answering my question and just watching me with a look of ache, I smiled bitterly, running a hand through my messy locks.

"The day you give a second chance to Preeti's molesters and Sona's rapists....that day I will also give you a second chance"

and who thinks Ezhil doesn't deserve a chance?
