ASTHERIEN'S POV:-
No! No! No! Stop it!! Stop thinking about that!!
That's over! And you should get over it too.
You were not someone who'll be a depressed girl in love.
And you still aren't!!
Get yourself together and think about your own works, this won't give you the things you want!
Yah success!!
I wipped off the tears from my cheeks. And stood up from the corner of his bed, and just moved back to my room.
I just burried myself in the blanket.
I still couldn't sleep, i decided to go to the balcony.
I went up, the moon was at its highest. Looking at it, I forgot everything for a moment.
But again, my mind keep reminding me that.
No! No! No! I should not think about that.
Now! I'll stop thinking about that, that didnt even happen. Youre just overthinking!
You almost got carried away! That's it! Nothing happened, remember that.
I should focus on work, this doesn't matter at all!
I sat on the chair in the balcony looking at the beautiful moon, stars, clear sky.
I felt sleepy after sometime, and went to my bed.
In the morning, my manager called me.
📳[ Manager calling ]
Manager - good morning, are you ready for today's shoot?
Astherien - Good morning, do I have my shoot schedule today?
Manager - yeah, we do have a shoot, the insurance ad for Aurex corporation.
Astherien - Insurance? Oh the one we talked about last week?
Manager - yeah, the shoot will start from 11 AM, I'll call you, so be sure to be here.
Astherien - yeah, okay. I'll be there soon. Bye, see ya.
Manager - okay, bye.
My manager, she's just like my friend. And about the advertisement, it was fixed before all this happened, so I don't have a choice to deny it now, and also it's not use. My work life and private life both are different.
I got dressed, and went out of my room, and obviously no one was at home, only me. He left earlier, maybe because he doesn't even want to see me now.
I went to the shoot location.
During the shoot, I wasn't feeling well, I had headache, but still I decided to do this shoot today.
I didn't wanted to talk to anyone, i just wanted to be alone, but right now I can't.
Unintentionally, i talked rude to one of the girl helper there, I was already frustrated and she was litterally testing my patience.
After 4-5 hours, shoot was over. I was packing my stuff. My clothes I brought for the shoot, my makeup, and other stuffs.
I almost forgot about that, and just then I heard some girls muttering.
"She's his wife? but it doesn't matter, it was forced anyways. Luna is much better for him."
"Oh, so that's why he has an affair with luna? He realised this too late."
"Yeah, only if he could stop the marriage, he would be happier."
"Well, who told you guys that he has an affair?"
"I saw them alone in the parking. They both were close enough, that they could kiss."
"Really? Well he might be really regretting his choice. She's just an overrated actress."
"Luna is prettier."
"Yeah, I know. He deserved someone like luna instead of her."
"She's too rude, who will like her?"
Hearing this, I don't care about what they said about me, but something hurted even more to hear that he has an affair with Luna?
I wanted to go to him and ask him if I did something wrong that he had to choose her? Especially when I started to feel something?
Oh, so, that was the reason, why he chose to ignore me again.
I just went in my car, i didn't wait for anyone. I directly drove to somewhere even I don't know, not home.
Actually it's not my HOME anymore, it feels more like a prison.
I feel so suffocated in that house now.
My car stopped under a tree, no one could see me there.
My head resting on the steering.
I was holding my tears, but now I can't.
Tears bursted out of my eyes, I couldn't even stop them. It felt like something stabbed in my heart.
Why did I fall for such a guy? He cheated, why?
Am I really not enough? Yeah she's pretty, she might be more intelligent that me.
Yeah she has a better personality than me. But I really don't deserve this.
Do i?
To forgot all this, I went to a bar. I drunk alot.
Alcohol made me forgot all that, only for some hours, but still I was free from all this drama.
I sat there, drinking alcohol for a long time, crying, sharing my story with unknown strangers.
I already passed out, I don't remember anything else except this.
When I woke up, I looked around. It wasn't my house, my hands were tied by a rope.I don't know where I was.
My head felt like it will burst out right now.
It was like a basement.
"Hello?? Is anybody here? Help me please! Somebody!!" I screamed for help.
No one listened.
Then suddenly, a man wearing black cap appeared. His face was covered with a handkerchief.
"WHO ARE YOU? LEAVE ME!" I shouted.
He came closer, and tried to touch me.
I kicked him back.
"Awh! Stop moving! Or else I'll kill you." He said pointing a gun at me.
Looking at the gun, my head felt even more heavy.
I started to feel dizzy. I felt like I would just faint right here, but still I looked up to him and asked.
"Who the fucking hell are you?" I asked, while stuttering.
"Don't you know? Its me, the 'unknown number' ?" He said, lowering his gun.
Now, the gun was almost out of my sight.
"What do you want from me? Why do you keep disturbing me?" I asked, with rage in my eyes.
"I don't want anything from you, i just want to show you something."
"What??"
He didn't say anything and went to the table in the corner of the room.
"WHERE ARE YOU GOING?"
He came back, with a laptop in his hand.
"What's this?" I asked, in confusion.
He slowly untied my hands.
And showed me some pictures.
