Back then , in silence
CHAPTER -1 : Back then , in silence
Ayesha and Dhruv were just schoolmates in high school. Dhruv was the head boy. Ayesha was already committed to a boy named Rudra. He was a kind boy at first, but he slowly turned toxic.
Ayesha had a slight crush on Dhruv, but she never said it out loud. Dhruv had a crush on Ayesha too, but he always pretended like he didn’t care. They never talked.
Because of Adi.Ayesha’s brother.Dhruv’s best friend.His dhost.That one awkward moment that happened between them made it even worse.
They just existed in the same space. Silence between them, even if they looked at each other.
Later, in 11th standard, Adi changed schools in the middle of nowhere. One day during the holidays, Dhruv and Adi met again. Adi took Dhruv’s phone and called Ayesha using it.
She picked up and heard Dhruv’s name. It made the awkward situation between them even worse.
Then rumors started spreading — not after Dhruv left, but after Adi left.People started talking about Ayesha and Dhruv as if they had something.Whispers. Looks. Judgements.
And then, Rudra found out that Dhruv had called Ayesha.That was it.
He started doubting her badly.He misused her.He crossed the line.
That night caused her deep trauma.And that trauma made her start sleepwalking.She didn’t know it. But it started then.
Ayesha never told anyone what happened. But her silence grew.
One day, during graduation, Ayesha accidentally bumped into Dhruv.Rudra saw it.And that night he misused her again — so hard.
That became the reason for her sleepwalk and her trauma.....
