Chapter 70

Just 24 more hours. It is supposed to be 24 months of being together. But....were we really together? This whole time? If we really were, could he? Do this? He wouldn't right?

I had so many dreams about this day. In fact, there was a time after our 18 months, when i started planning for this day with Ross with the mindset that i would surprise Alex. He was this special to me. I tried. I trusted. I trusted it again and again. I loved beyond what I am capable of. And what did I get in the end?
I got shattered.

The light clicks on and everyone enters the room. I immediately lie down on my bed avoiding any kind of interaction and pull over the blanket pretending to sleep.

No one calls or disturbs me. Their gossips go on for another 20 minutes or more and then everyone gets on their bed. I quietly wait under my blanket.

It's been more than an hour or two. It's pin drop silence in my room. I hope everyone's asleep.
I remove my blanket and sit up to find everyone sleeping.
I won't be able to sleep anymore today. I slowly step down from my bad , carefully stepping aside Elena's bed.

I walk to the balcony and look around.
This is so peacefull. It's dark, and the faint sound of the sea waves , hitting lightly across the high standing cliffs. It feels peaceful. The night is pretty drawing.
I should go around and enjoy the view, what if I dont get to see it tomorrow?

I laugh.

I walk across the room and open the door in the slowest possible way avoiding any kind of creaky sound in the hallway. I walk down the hall and then down the stairs and walk out of the hotel.

The silence is so beautiful. As if it's a death warning. A beautiful death trap. The cliffs stand high and the long trees hovering over the lane adds to the beauty. The sky is clear and the stars are sparkling in a different way. The buzzing sound of the insects, sounds soothing. A few steps ahead, the fireflies are flying around and they settle on the bushes lighting them up like the beautiful rice lights decorated over the bunch of bushes in a perfect breathtaking view.

I walk up through the lane and after about 6-8 minutes, I reach the edge of the cliff. I know I have acrophobia , and it is impossible for me to look down, standing on the edge of the cliff....but I can look around. The sea looks beautiful, the horizon marking the perfect edge for the sky to meet the sea.

I sit down there and stare out in the nowhere.
Had Alex , loved me the way I did, we could have enjoyed this view together. Maybe , he would have mocked me and even tried to scare me of the heights. That's his way of spending time with me.....Or.... loving me....
Alex is gonna do something about today. He somehow managed to digest in the insult yesterday...but today he won't, he is gonna be ferrocious about taking revenge against me.

I am so lost in my world, that i forget about the time.i check my mobile.It's almost 5am. The sun is starting to come out of the horizon.I need to get back to the hotel.
I get up and start walking towards the hotel when I hear faint sounds, from a few steps ahead of me.

The sounds are weird.
