Tale Of Blood And Rose

"Was that Jack? Or was it only a delusion?" She was deep in her thoughts when she heard her name "Niya" calling someone. It was grandma, who was shaking her body.

"Hmm" she came out of her thoughts, when grandma asked her, "what happened to my child?" And she simply shook her head in denial, but immediately the old lady hugged her tightly saying, "don't worry my child, tell me if something is bothering you and consider me as a close friend."

The sweet talk of grandmother brought a smile to her lips. And she too hugged her back saying, "hmm! Grandma, there is something which is bothering me..." she was about to continue but they heard an uncountable knock on the door.

And they opened the door after separating from the hug. Her mouth left open seeing all the brothers and sisters standing in front of the door.

She felt a little weird and immediately asked, "what happened brothers and sisters? Why you came here leaving the party?" She asked.

"My little beautiful lady, you talk too much. First, tell us why you left the party?" Isabella asked with a naughty smile on her face but very soon her naughty smile vanished, as Ben stepped on her foot.

"Nothing sister, I was not feeling good, so I came into my room to take a rest." She replied lowering her eyes.

All of them were hearing her but Kelvin was very quick to reply, "Ok, you take rest little sister. And we should leave her alone, and grandma takes proper care of her." Kelvin gestured to everyone to leave her alone and they all obeyed him.

The old lady again locked the room from inside and helped Niya to sit on her bed and she too sat there, beside her.

"My girl, you were telling me that something is bothering you. What was that?" The grandma asked her and she nodded before saying, "Grandma, I was dancing with brother Tadelesh and then he left me a hand before twirling me …'' she again continued taking a deep breath.

"But then, someone held my hands. And after that, we heard ' remove your mask ' and I did so, but when I raised my eyes to see the person in front of my eyes. Tha-That was Ja-Jack, standing in front of m-me."

Her body was trembling, but grandmother quickly hugged her while caressing her back and said, "it seems you fear him. Why do you fear him? " The old lady asked.

"I don't know" Niya replied breaking the hug.

"Ok, and why do you love him?" The old lady again asked.

"I don't know." Hearing Niya's answers, the old lady chuckled and said, "You love him without any reason. That means you truly love him." But Niya said something, which made the old lady feel bad.

"But Grandma, he doesn't love me." Niya quickly lowered her head to hide her tears, which had just flowed down of her eyes.

"Ok, leave all these aside and let me solve your problem. You were in doubt whether Jack came or not?" The old lady asked, which made Niya nod her head.

The old lady thought for a while before suggesting "You can call him and asked where is he? This the easiest way."

"But grandma, I knew very well he would not receive my calls. But I can call brother Andrew." She said, making the old woman confused.

"Now, who is Andrew ?'' She asked looking at Niya with confusion. Niya chuckled before replying," Grandma, brother Andrew is Jack's assistant. And he is the only one, who knows about me."

"Oh ok, then call him and ask about your husband," Grandma said, nodding her head several times. And Niya too nodded before dialling Andrew's number.

Niya was calling him and after 3 rings, he received her call. "What happened young madam? And why did you call me, you know very well about young master's temper." Andrew said from another side.

"Oh sorry brother. But can you please tell me Where is Jack?" Niya asked controlling herself. "Young Madam, he is sitting in his cabin with madam Clove." It hurt her the most, as he doesn't care about his wife and spending time with his mistress.

"Brother, can I hear their voice?" Niya asked, wiping her tears and controlling her voice from being cracked.

"Hmm, I can do it. But make sure they can't hear your voice." Andrew accepted her request and tried to help her.

"Oh Jack, I love you. Thank God, you threw her out of your mansion. But tell me when you are going to throw her out of your life?" 

"Don't worry my babe, I will do that very soon and get ready to become 'Mrs. Jack Johnson' cuz, we are going to marry very soon."

Niya was silently hearing all those from another side and tears were flowing down of her eyes. She couldn't hear more and the next moment she immediately hung up.

She threw her mobile on the bed and sat silently there. What she heard just a few minutes ago was running inside her mind.

"When are you going to throw her out of your life?" "Get ready to become Mrs Jack Johnson, cuz we are going to marry very soon." 

This was making her heart beat faster and her breathing was going rapidly, she was having difficulty breathing.

The old lady quickly pulled her towards her and gave her medicines and forwarded a glass of water. And gestured to her to take the medicines. 

Niya nodded before taking the glass and medicine with her trembling hands. And finally, take her medicine. 

After taking the medicine she put the glass on the side table and she rested her back against the backrest and closed her eyes. The old lady covered her weak body with the quilt and sat beside her.

She was sitting beside Niya and thought the little angel, who was laying in front of her closing her eyes, had slept. But she was wrong, as soon she heard her whimpers she understood that she was crying.

She caressed her hands saying, " my dear you take a rest. I am going to bring your dinner." She got up from the bed and went out of the room.

Now, Niya was alone in the room. All she wants is to cry loudly, which lessens the pain, but she can't. She doesn't want anyone to let her know about her pain. She put her palm on her mouth and was crying, but no one knew about it.

Tears were flowing down her eyes when her phone started buzzing. Her gaze fell on her phone and she took her phone in her hands. She quickly received the call as the call was from Jack.

All she hopes is that Jack will tell her the truth about yesterday's incident. He will tell you that he was lying last night. Thinking all these she was about to speak but…

"Niya, what do you think of yourself? Huh! Why did you call Andrew and why did you want to hear our voice? How many times do I have to tell you that I don't love you? I only did all those to take revenge on you. And if you came to know about all those, then get out of my life, and don't forget to do your works. You have to come EMPIRE and university daily."  Again streams of tears flowed down of her eyes and in the next second he hanged up.

Her mind was cursing herself," you are useless Niya. Now, you understand that no one loves you." Deep down, she felt right what her mind was telling her and again tears flowed down her eyes, but she quickly wiped them, as she heard footsteps coming towards her room.

And soon the door opened revealing grandmother. She was pretending as she already slept. "Look my child, I brought your dinner. Now quickly eat your dinner." 

She placed the plate on the table but heard no voice of Niya, which forced her to turn back. She turned back and looked at Niya for a few minutes before saying, "my dear, don't pretend that you are sleeping. I know you are just lying, closing your eyes." She leaned a little down.

Hearing her grandma, Niya understood that she was not sleeping, and she slowly opened her eyes.

She asked in her low voice, "Grandma, how did you come to know that I was not sleeping?" She blinked her eyes a couple of times and grandma answered, "because, I too did these types of things, when I was a kid." It brought a smile to her lips.

"Now sit and eat your lunch." The old lady said before sitting beside her but Niya said pouting her lips.``I don't feel like eating." She again laid down and covered herself with a quilt.

"This girl." The old lady removed the blanket from her body and started to pull her while holding her hand. And succeeded in making her sit.

"I will feed you, my dear. But eat your food properly." She took the plate in her hand and started to feed her and Niya was too eating silently. 

While eating she asked, "Grandma, why has God created me? I am useless and no one loves me."
