Chapter 8
Aditi
“Aditi? What are you doing here?’ I asked.
“Aru, is that you? I am so happy to see you!” Aditi said pulling me into a hug.
I was equally happy to see her so I hugged her back.
Then I asked again “You haven’t answered my question, you know”
“I don't know , the castle doors opened for me, I thought I should give it a look” She replied finally.
“Aditi! You scared me, everyone thinks you are a intruder” I explained
“No, I AM NOT! I haven't done anything” She uttered.
Aditi was 18 years old when I ran away from home, she is my big sister, she is really smart so she got a scholarship in a far away college, she was really happy to go away from our parents’ fight. She had offered me to stay with her in her college secretly but I would never disturb my sister’s studies for my own good, I refused and stayed home, we contacted each other using letters which were always hidden from our parents, one day I told her I was going to run away with John, she agreed and even distracted our parents by calling them to college to help me.
After I shifted to the cottage till now, our letters continued with a little help from the postman who vowed to never tell my location. I wonder if anyone told my parents my location, back to where me and Aditi were-
“Where are Mom and Dad now?” I questioned.
“At home, I visited them " she said.
“Do they know about my cottage till now?” I wondered out loud.
‘" The town people told them”Aditi explained.
“You're not the intruder but there are intruders in the castle, get in!” Katie instructed from the safe room.
We got into the safe room.
You know, by this time, after seeing Aditi, I missed John, where is he now? Is he okay? Did my parents do something to him too? I was really worried but then Aditi told me something from which my eyes filled with grief and tears.
