Toxic Love

Knock knock…..

Who’s here at this hour…. Sara saw the wall clock and thought and opened the door. It was mid night.

The person on the other side of the door was wearing black jeans and black hoodie, covering his face with a mask, entered inside by pushing Sara to the side.

Who the hell…. Sara shouted but the guy in black put his hand on her mouth and pushed her to the wall..

Ssshhh…. The guy in black put his index finger on his lips showing her to keep quite.

Sara was afraid to death and thinking of something when the guy removed his mask. When she saw his face she felt her blood to be drained off from her body.

When he saw her pale face he let go of her.

Roy???? She gathered all her strength and speaks the name of the person standing in front of her.

I am sorry for my sudden arrival but please don’t make any noise…. Roy pleaded.

Why you’re here????? Sara asked and took a step to her left side and tried to get away from his approach.

Please don’t be afraid. I will not hurt you ever, you know that…. He said with tears in his eyes.

But you are a murderer… What are you expecting from me?????? Sara said while taking step back.

Please listen to me. Just for this once. I know I’ve hurt you back then. I broke your heart but I always loved you, I had no choice. But please trust me I didn’t kill anyone. When I reached there that guy was already dead. Roy tried to convince her.

Then why you ran????? Sara asked furiously.

I had no choice. No one was ready to listen to me… They all think that I killed him. Roy said and sat on the chair near to him.

Why should I believe you????Sara said and move towards the window.

It’s up to you…. I need a shelter just for one day. Roy said and saw to her watching outside the window.

Do you think I’ll not inform the Police????? Sara said and turned towards him.

I just need one chance to prove that I am innocent. Please!!!! I didn’t kill him. Even you are not ready to listen my explanation?????? Roy saw her in her eyes.

Okay spit it…. Sara said and took another chair and placed opposite to Roy’s chair and sat on it.

You know that guy???? Roy asked

Yeah I know him, he is heir of some real estate company…. Sara said

He was my step brother Adam. Roy said in low voice

Is this a justification of his murder??? Sara asked and threw a bitter gaze on him

No… My father married my mother after Adam’s mother passed away but my mother left him because he was a play boy type man. My mother took me and my sister away from him. We never met him but when he died, we went on his funeral. Adam thought we want my father’s property and business so he started harassing us. I just went there to tell him that we don’t want any share from my father’s legacy.….. Roy said while looking at her.

So you killed him???? Sara asked again with hatred in her eyes.

I didn’t kill him….. He shouted.

Don’t raise your voice against me…. You have no right. Sara said and got up from the chair and opened the door and moved her hand in way showing him to leave.

Pleas just let me stay here for one day…. I came here to ask you for a favor for the old time’s sake. I still love you and I know you still love me too…. Roy said and tried to hold her hand which she slapped away.

Do you know that police is searching for you????? You want me to be found out with you????? Sara panicked.

Please listen to me… You have to believe me… I am not a culprit. Even back then I was forced to leave you. I had no choice. They want me to be dead therefore they have tricked me into this mess. Please trust me. I swear. He started pleading and tears start falling from his eyes.

Sara never saw him crying, she thought and closed the door. Okay you can stay here. I’ll not inform the police but please leave tomorrow. I don’t want to see you, you should know that. Sara said and walked towards the kitchen. Have you eaten???? I have some sandwiches; you can eat if you want. You can sleep on couch in the living room. Sara said and walked to her room.

Sara locked her room and threw herself on the bed. She still remembers the first time she met Roy…
