--------------------------------------------------------

Uruvi's eyes opened to light streaming in through the curtains. It seemed to be mid noon. She was disoriented for a moment by the unknown surroundings but then the previous days events came flooding back to her mind. She jumped up from the couch and tentatively called out to aaji. Her call was met with silence. She wandered into the kitchen. There she found a note addressed to her from aaji. The note read- Beta, I had to leave for a work of mine. Didn't want to disturb you , so I left without informing. I would be returning by afternoon. Meanwhile, you may help yourself to some food. Take care. Once again she was taken aback by the genorisity and kindness of this complete stranger. She didn't have much appetite for anything so she just sat there. She replayed all that had happened yesterday. It was immature, maybe childish on her part to have acted in such a way with Aman. After all, what wrong had he did? Was he cheating on her? No. Was he being abusive with her? No. She knew that she could not justify this action of hers to anyone. Because how could she tell them, how could she make them understand the empty whole in her chest. How could she make them see the pain of having someone, yet not having him? His voice devoid of emotions hurt her more than silence could have. The empty words as though were hollowing her out. Aman didn't even consider her worthy of telling what his problem was. Did he think that she was so ignorant that she won't notice that there is a problem bothering him? If today she was not with him, it was only because he had pushed her away. If he would have cared even an ounce for her would he have let go of her so easily yesterday? Aman was something that was hurting her heart. But when her mind wandered to her parents her heart was compressed with guilt. They deserved a much better daughter. One who was less selfish. Her life felt like hell. And she knew it pretty clearly that she was the one who made it so. Hurting others...hurting herself. Even this running away had not helped because she had dragged all her emotional baggage along with her. She knew not what to do. She just sat there with her head in her hands. She felt like lying down and going to sleep once again. Though she had slept so well she knew that she could easily fall asleep once again if she wanted. A dry laugh escaped her lips thinking how funny she was being. Most people found it hard to sleep with so many problems and here she was ready to doze off any moment now. This sleep sort of gave her a refuge, a place where she could hide from the world. She couldn't believe how comfortable she was with sleeping in a woman's house she didn't even know the name of. Maybe it was time she started questioning her sanity. (Why do I get a feeling that her thoughts are going in loops?? Maybe because they really are, haha. Lets forgive her, she isnt in the best of the states right now :p). Her attention was captured by children's laughter floating towards her from the nearby garden. Their laughter made her want to be in the vicinity of their innocence. Well actually, no. She just wanted to take a walk in the garden, do anything to distract herself. She let herself out of the flat. The garden was closeby. She centered her entire concentration on her slow steady pace, her pace increasing with every step she took.She walked like one possessed. Irrespective of the glaring sun she kept on her gait. People stopped to stare at her. But she was unaware of any of them. Right now, she wanted to release all her pent up emotions. She went on and on in circles unawares of the time that passed. She stomped the ground at every step as if it were her problems she was stomping. It felt like a penace to her. A penace to right all the wrongs. Maybe hurting herself would make someone above there take pity on her. She was getting dizzier by the moment. Just when she was about to collapse she slammed into a set of arms awaiting her. Not finding Uruvi at home aaji had came out to find her. Yet again with no questions asked, aaji led her to the flat.
