Author's Note -

Hey everyone, just wanted to hop on and say this is my first story on this platform, and it is indeed fanfiction for MEIEJ, however I hope everyone who reads this does enjoy it! :) This chapter is just a mere glimpse of the story, and I plan on it being short, however if the story wills it to be long then that'll happen. Also, when reading the parts in italics with forward slashes are the translated version of the previous sentence that was written in Hindi, rather than English, and it looks like this (ex: // "hi"// ). Anyway, I hope you all enjoy reading, thank you for stopping by! :)

"Then look at me and tell me you don't feel anything?"

Letting out a resigned sigh, her heavy eyelids close. She suddenly grows weary, pushing his hand off her wrist in a harsh motion.

"I don't okay?! I bloody don't!" she yells, whirling around, her eyes filling with fresh tears. She holds them back from falling...just as she always had.

He stares at her, his lips curving into a sarcastic smile. Taunting her...mocking her. Proving to her that she couldn't escape...no matter how much she willed it.

He takes a step forward and she takes two steps back. He keeps moving forward and she lowers her gaze to the ground, her vision blurred with tears.

She backs herself against a stone cold wall, and closes her eyes in defeat. Brushing away a tendril of hair from her face he looks at her, his eyes brimming with unshed tears.

"Kuch bhi nahi lagta?" he whispers, his knuckles gently caressing the side of her face.

// "You don't feel anything?" he whispers, his knuckles gently caressing the side of her face. //

She started breathing heavily, shaking her head while clutching onto her jacket, balling the fabric up in her fists.

"Kuch bhi nahi?" he asks again and she looks at her shoes, trying to hold her tears back.

// "Nothing at all?" he asks again and she looks at her shoes, trying to hold her tears back. //

Madhu shook her head again, and he pulled her close to himself, wrapping his arms around her. Madhu couldn't help but give in, she was tired of resisting.

"Kuch bhi nahi lagta..." she mumbles, giving into her tears as she muffles her loud sobs with her palm, turning away from him.

// "I do not feel anything..." she mumbles, giving into her tears as she muffles her loud sobs with her palm, turning away from him. //

Rishabh holds onto her, pulling her closer into his embrace, trying to calm her down.

"Don't you understand my love? I-I...I can't stay without you. I lov-"

"Don't. Please don't. You made a mockery out of love..."

"Madhu bas ek bar, ek bar mujhpe bharosa karke dekhlo."

// "Madhu just once, just this once trust me and see."//

"Uska anjaam dekh liya maine. Aur bacha hi kya hai, Rishabh?"

// "I have seen the consequences of that already. What else is left, Rishabh?" //

Clutching to her small form tightly he whispers into her hair, "We still have a chance...just this once Madhu."

"No." she whispers, yet her hands have somehow wove themselves around him as tears fall quicker and harder down her face, her heart and mind left at war.
