Hello!

There are times in your life when you just feel that life is not worth the pain you are bearing and it's just better to end it right there and get at least some peace.

The situation where you are so numb and helpless that everything, every moment of your life seems a complete waste and you have no reason or will to live anymore.

But then you realize that even ending your life is not in your hand because you owe it to someone else and trust me, there's no worse feeling than this.

And this is exactly what I'm feeling right now, sitting outside the I.C.U.
After giving birth to Nimmi, the day ma came home, I promised her that I'll always take care of my sister and after our parents left us, Nimmi became the center of my universe. My every action, decision, thoughts, everything concerned only her well being and today seeing her in this condition has just left me shattered.

And on top of everything, the truth I got to know about Ma, and Manik Malhotra's behavior, it's all just too much to handle but I have no option.

Nimmi is fighting for life and here I'm wishing I was never born. I used to think that there cannot be a bigger curse than being an orphan but today I'm proved wrong by my own destiny. I've been cursed so bad that looking at the situation, I feel being orphan was just nothing as compared.

I've just sold myself to a Devil for my sister's life and even after this, there are very few chances of her surviving.

What have I done so bad? I really need to know, how can living be this much painful? It seems like there's just no hope left, this is so painful. I can't bear this anymore. This is all so heavy, my heart, head, everything is paining and I'm feeling really dizzy.

I close my eyes getting really tired and all I can see and feel is darkness before I lose my senses.

.*.*.*.*.*.

"She is fine, stop crying. " I heard a familiar voice and stirred a bit causing my head to pain.

"Ahh!" Yelping, I slowly opened my eyes and saw the person I never want to see in my life. Manik Malhotra.

Looking aside, I found Chachi crying and Chachaji consoling her. Okay, so he hasn't kidnapped me again. But what if he has kidnapped my whole family?

Jolting, I looked around and felt a sheer pain in my wrist and head.

"Careful." The Devil exclaimed through his teeth and he looked really pissed. What have I done now?

I was in a hospital room with drip of glucose inserted in my nerves. Wow Nandini, what timing!

"What happened to me? " I asked Chacha Chachi, who were looking at me worriedly.

"You are weak. " The Devil replied and I looked at him in the eyes, the eyes that had annoyance in them.

"I know. " I whispered referring to actually how weak I'm at this point and this is not about physical weakness.

"We got really scared Nandu." Chachi was still crying and I looked down.

"I'm sorry. Nimmi? " I asked and they looked at each other before looking down.

And then I dared to look at the Devil who was looking at me without any expressions.

"The same. " He replied coldly and I felt tears forming in my eyes.

"Nandu,ย  you rest here for some time, we should go and check Nimmi now. " Chachaji said and I gave him a nod before he left with Chachi.

"Not the same Miss. Murthy. " I heard him saying and looked at him in confusion.

"Actually to be honest. " He came to my side.

"I talked to the doctor. " He sat on the stool beside me and my heart beat was raising.

"And he told me..." He stopped and I looked at him in anticipation.

"That?" I asked and he looked around before looking at me again.

"That..." He trailed off again testing mu patience.

"Mr. Malhotra please. " I pleaded and a smirk came on his lips.

"That her condition is getting worse and there are a few chances of her recovering. " He told me getting up and my breathing became heavy.

Tears were rolling down my eyes and I wasn't in a condition to react or say anything.

"See you in my office tomorrow. " He said before walking towards the door.

"Get well soon Miss. Murthy. " He mocked me with a smirk before wearing his shades and leaving the room.

I wanted to yell, cry, curse but I couldn't even move a little bit. My whole life has turned into a nightmare and I regret even born.

But this is not the time to think all this, I need to be with Nimmi, I need to be with my sister.

I got up and my head spun causing me to sit on the bed again.

Pulling my hair, I groaned loudly and a nurse came running to my room.

"Are you okay? " She asked and I looked at her with teary eyes.

"I need to see my sister, please take me to her. " I pleaded and she looked at me with sympathy.

"I'm really sorry ma'am but you are too weak to move, you need to rest. Please lie down. " She tried making me lie on the bed but I wriggled.

"You can take her on this. " I heard Devil's voice again and saw him standing on the doorstep with a wheelchair.

I looked at him in confusion and he signalled the sister to take the wheelchair from her.

"Make sure she sees how her sister is suffering and suffers with her. " He told the nurse as she took the wheelchair from him and I looked away.

"Get well soon and reach office by 7 tomorrow or else, you know the consequences. " He threatened before leaving and I looked at the nurse who was looking at me puzzled.

"My sister. " I whispered and she helped me in sitting on the wheelchair and took the movable drip in her hand before taking me out.

.*.*.*.

I couldn't sleep the whole night thinking what will he make me to do and now the time has come.

I'm standing outside his office and I can't get myself to knock. 6:58 , I checked the time and with all the courage in me, knocked the door.

"Get in. " His answer came and I opened the door and walked inside his cabin.

"No morning wishes Miss. Murthy? " He asked faking a smile and I really really really wanted to punch that smile off his face but of course I can't.

"Good morning Sir. " I wished and his fake smile grew.

"Won't be for you. " He replied smirking and I looked down.

"What do I have to do Sir? " I asked coming straight to the point. I cannot punch him, he's keeping my sister alive.

"Sit down. " He offered me a seat and I looked at him in confusion.

"What? I said sit down Miss. Murthy, right now! " He said in a stern tone and I sat down immediately.

"Had coffee? " He asked and I looked at him frowning.

"I don't like repeating myself and you know it. " He warned and I shook my head in negative.

"No Sir. " I replied and he nodded.

"Good, go get me one. " He said looking at his laptop causing me to frown.

"Go! " He yelled and I shivered before leaving immediately.

I made his regular coffee, trembling with fear and took it to his cabin.

"The only thing you are good at, preparing coffee. " He said after taking a sip of the coffee and I looked down.

I'm also good at punching jerks.

"Now, why are you still standing? " He asked and I sat down on immediately.

"Did I ask you to sit? " He asked and I got up immediately.

"Did I ask you to stand? " He asked leaving me annoyed.

"What do you want from me, Mr. Malhotra? " I asked finally and he smirked.

"Nothing much, just your worthless life. " He replied coolly.
