Jacob's POV....

"Once there was a twelve year old girl. She had a very loving mother, father and a small brother. They where a happy family to start with but things started changing. As the day passed she could sense the growing distance between her mother and father. But the girl knew they loved each other it's just the intervening situation. Everything will be okay in a while.

Her father would not come home for days.

The little girl saw how her mother tried to keep a smiling face when she was around her but she knew better, for she had heard her crying in the dark.

Her father would come home only once a week to meet them.

On her tenth birthday her father came to her and asked 'what does my little princess want as a gift.'

She asked her father to go out for a movie, whole family together, like old times. Her father agreed.

Her mother wore her favourite dress that day. She looked like a fairy not because of the dress but because of the smile she wore.

On the way to there...." She closed her eyes for a moment then opened again and said.

"There car met with an accident everyone but for the unfortunate little girl died in the accident. She survived because her mother took the blow to protect her little girl.

Her mother should have let her die....it would have been better.

The little girl was lying there for half an hour trying to wake them up crying for them to wake up. She saw the life squeeze out of everyone. There was blood everywhere.

First her mother. Then her father. The little girl still remembers her father's last words to her mother.

"Please forgive me if possible." The girl saw a lone tear escape from her father's eyes.

But her mother was long gone to hear that. She was long dead.

The girl was still holding the hand of her little brother who refused to talk to her even after best of her efforts, not even at the mention of chocolates."

Saying that she gave me a painful smile and continued....

"After half an hour help arrived but it was too late everyone was gone only the little girl was left behind.

She was the unfortunate one who was left behind, for god had other planes for her. She struggled alone to make her life worth it because it was given to her on the expense of her mother." She let out a humorless laugh and added barely in a whisper. "on the day of her birthday. Her birthday gift."

But she didn't loosed hope Because she remembered her mother saying.

Everyone wants ,
Happiness
No one wants,
Pain
But you can't have a
Rainbow
Without a little rain.

So she patiently waited for the rainbow to make its appearance. 14 years later she thought she saw a glimpse of it. But it was just an illusion. Like oasis. When you walk for too long in a desert you start seeing thing which doesn't exists.. It was same for her she was in pain and hurting for too long that she created her own rainbow. Started seeing things.

Her father would always say that one day a prince would come and sweep her little princess off her feet.

But she didn't wanted a prince she just asked for a person who can give her love.

When she thought her life could'nt get any worse, a devil in disguise came in her life wearing the mask of a prince.

She mistook the black clouds for rainbow.

She failed to see beyond the mask and thought this is it. Because every bad thing one day has to disappear to give way to a good one. The rain has to subside to give way to rainbow. She didn't know that if 14 years of suffering is not enough to give way to happiness then whole lifetime will ever be or not.

The masked prince promised to be with her in life and death but snatched her life away and became the reason of her death.

He used to beat her everyday leaving her on the cold floor with a bleeding heart and bruised body. Starving for days.

One day it became impossible for her to bear the pain, that was the day she lost everything. That was the day she escaped the devil but a part of her died that day which can never be revived again.

Previously her dreams were filled with rainbows now all she sees is rain. It is everywhere she is drowning in it. She is loosing hope."

Then deafnening silence was all that was heard.

I looked at her and realized she was fast asleep or passed out which ever it was. She must be tired.

I was left behind with a heavy heart there is so much to take in. Her words are revolving around me.

I always knew that her past was a sore topic for her but she had gone through so much and Agustin has done nothing but added to it.

"He used to beat her everyday leaving her on the cold floor with a bleeding heart and bruised body. Starving for days."

I looked at her face. A small frow present on her forehead. As if even in her sleep she is stressed.

"Previously her dreams were filled with rainbows now all she sees is rain. It is everywhere she is drowning in it. She is loosing hope."

My shirt was drenched in her tears. My resolve grew stronger.

And I knew this is the time to make decision. Few years back I was standing on the same platform when I had to chose between Agustin and Onika. I chose Agustin and he fucked up a big time. He had his chance but he fucked it up.

Today I choose Onika.

I will protect her with everything in me. Agustin doesn't get to hurt her anymore. If that means war then war it is.

I covered her with a blanket, kissed her on the forehead, she visibly relaxed her frown went away. Just with a gentle kiss.

....................

Onika's pov.....

When I woke up in the morning my whole body was aching badly. Everything hurts. I slowly tried to open my eyes and saw Agustin staring at me intensely.

His eyes where calm but there was something about him that scared the hell out of me. His hair was a complete chaos . Knuckles bloodied he had few cuts on his face. He looked like a mess.

My heart beat accelerated. Is he angry because I left his office without his permission?

I immediately got up with a jerk which was a stupid thing to do as whole my world started spinning around me but before I can fall down Agustin engulfed be into a tight hug as if I am the most precious thing to him.

I tried to wriggle out of his hold but his hold just tightened even more.

"Please just Stand still for a minute." He said in a pleading voice. I am feeling too exhausted to fight him anymore. I just gave up, not that I have any other option.

He just held me tight for what seems like infinity, resting his head on the crook of my neck, nuzzling it with his nose slowly.

"Oh god for a moment I thought I lost you, I was so scared for the first time in my life." I stiffened when I felt wetness on my skin. I have never seen Agustin cry. Never seen him so vulnerable. Never ever.

"I am so fucking sorry..... I have so much to apologize for and it seems I just keep on elongating the list." Oh my god he is blaming it on himself.

"Agustin I won't deny, you have many thing to apologize for but this is not one of it. It is that bastard's fault. So I am telling you for once and I won't say it again don't you fucking dare blame this on yourself." I warned in a authoritative tone.

He let out a chuckle and said" jesus, you sounds like me."
And before I knew I let out a small laugh.

"Haven't you heard that while fighting a monster one should always be careful that you don't become one." I tried to joke, but that was the wrong thing to say as his whole body went rigid and his hold on my waist tightened so much so that I winced in pain.

He immediately realized his mistake and loosed his hold.

"Does it hurt too much" he asked, wetness still evident in his eyes.

How do I answer this. Of course it's hurting too much but I don't want him to feel guilty because of it.

"Nothing that I can't bear." Nothing that I haven't gone through before, I added silently.

He looked at me with so much intensity as if directly looking it to my soul and said" you are the strongest person I know."

My heart fluttered at that, hearing it from Agustin who always said what a weakling I was, is too much for me to handle but his next question made me skip a beat.

"Did it use to hurt the same way when I tortured you."he asked in a shaky voice as if afraid to know the answer.

"Do you really what me to answer that?"I asked him with uncertainty.

"Yes." He said, barely a whisper.

"Do you want to know the truth?"I asked again Because I know it will hurt as hell and I am not going to lie. He had brought this upon himself.

He nodded his head as if can't find his voice. What I am going to say may be the most cruel thing I have ever done but every word of it is gonna be true.

I looked up at him, he was holding his breath waiting for an answer.

I closed my eyes. No matter how much he had hurt me I still can't see him hurting like that but he deserves this.

"It used to hurt way more that this." My eyes fluttered open by his Sharp intake of breath. My heart was telling me to stop it then and there and not to do this but a part of me also wanted to punish him for what he had done, I wanted him to know the extent of damage he had caused.

" Even a slap from you used to hurt a thousand times more. Even your words hurt a thousand times more Because I loved you so much and I would have preferred dying a thousand times than hear those words coming out of you mouth. You were my everything.

I am ready to take Xavier's torture a thousand times more if that means I can undo yours....."

I can't do this anymore. I need to get out of here before I completely breakdown infront of him and as if on cue he let go of his hold on me as if suddenly paralyzed.

He looked like someone has ripped his heart.

I walked towards the door with the speed of light but before I can get out he asked.

"Can you ever forgive me? Will anything I do can help me win you back? Anything. Please.....

I know it won't mean much but I am sorry... I wish I could erase the past...if that means I have to take ten times more torture than I imposed on you I will happily do that..if only it works that way" he said in a defeated tone.

I hardened my heart and said."You are right it doesn't, because it is not about the physical pain I have gone through its about the mental one and believe me it runs deeper than you can ever anticipate.

I don't think I can ever forgive you, I am sorry."

I thought he will shout at me and demand that I give him a chance but I was surprised when he said.

"It's okay.... it's not your fault...... but I will earn your forgiveness one day . I promise you that."he deadpanned.

"That day won't come in this lifetime...... There is more to forgive than you can ever think of."

He looked completely broken as I said that.

My heart was reaching out for him, urging me to comfort him. I wanted to ease his pain away and erase that tortured expression from his face, but I had gone through much worse than that and never for once he showed me mercy, my pity is not something he will ever deserve. It took everything in me to walk out of that room, but I did.
