Meeting Again - 41 Rage
“ENOUGH”
I bellowed. My voice echoed in the parking area sounding a little stupid and comical. But that was completely opposite to my mood right now. I have had enough. From the time my puberty hit and my second gender test result came out, I have been continuously hearing things like, “Omegas are whore”, “Omegas are so slutty”, “Why do they go around spreading their scent, trying to seduce everyone, how shameless”, “Omegas are born to breed”, “Omegas are scum” ….I am sick of hearing it. My life hasn’t been all sunshine and daisies. I don’t even get the treatment of a normal human being and this people think that they are achieving nirvana by demeaning us.
“What’s so great about you that you can speak such bull about me? A rich dad’s spoiled and pampered princess who had never seen a day of sorrow, deprivation or struggle, who do you think you are to curse me and my son? Just one rejection and your are already dying?? All my life, I have known nothing but rejection. Not only have I been rejected by Robbie, but also by my parents, my classmates and even the entire society, and you think your sorrow is greater??”
I saw Sarah’s expression turn stony. She gritted her teeth with so much force that some of her teeth might have fallen out!
“YOU-”
“SHUT THE F*CK UP!!” I yelled so loud that even the veins in my throat felt strained. It echoed several times loudly around the parking area. I was breathing hard and feeling so frustrated,
“Just why? Why do I have to go through this injustice? Why does people always look down on me? Why does all my hard work overlooked just because of my other gender? Is it my fault that I was born with this physique??”
I looked at her. Her eyes were wide and she looked a little pale. I took few steps towards her,
“I am scum of earth? I am a whore? From what I see, you are the one throwing yourself on Robbie even after being rejected and I am the one who’s whore? I threatened Robbie with his child? If so, THEN WHY ON EARTH WOULD I WAIT FOR EIGHT DAMN YEARS???” I shouted on her face.
All the bitterness that I felt for all this years. All the injustices that I faced, the rejections and abandonment, the heartbreaks and loneliness…I endured everything quietly. But now, everything had gone way past my limit of tolerance.
“What did you say? How would I know? Yes of course, I don’t know because like you I haven’t lived a luxurious life where everything I wanted was not presented to me in a silver platter!!! Everyday, I had to face rejection, everyday I had to fight just to survive the next day. This life and position I built with my sweat and blood and just one damn stupid rumour that you spread because your ego can’t handle one silly rejection, made all my hardwork and years of my struggle null” I spat on her face
She took a step back. Her face looked horrified. She had her hand over her mouth. I didn’t expect such a reaction from her but I was too far gone to calm down.
“What did you say? You loved Robbie all your life? Haah?? Do you even know what love is? Your love is just obtaining Robbie even at the cost of his happiness. That’s just your selfish desire not love. But what could I possibly expect from a heiress who had never known rejection? Sprouting nonesense like heart break and pain….PLEASE! For harbouring such emotions you first need to be human enough!!”
“You asshole” she screamed and raised her hand to hit me again. I closed my eyes and put my hand in front of me to defend myself but the slap never came. I felt a warm hand wound around my waist and pulling me into a broad chest. I opened my eyes to see my head over Robbie’s shoulder. I looked towards Sarah and saw her wrist being held by Robbie. He was looking at her with such a scary burning eyes that even I felt a little squirmish, though, it was not directed at me.
“Robbie I-”
“I don’t want to listen to your excuse. I will give you five minutes. All the rumours and pictures that you have posted must vanish. And your accomplice, get him here” he said in a dangerous voice, letting go of her hand
“Why-why- just why? What so good about him? Even from society’s point of view, I would be a better match for you. Why do you choose him? Why?” she cried stomping her feet
“Four minutes” Robbie said in a deathly calm voice
“I wouldn’t, I won’t take it down! If you can’t be mine, I won’t let you be anyone else’s. You can only be mine. MINE!” she screamed with tears flowing down her eyes
Robbie was not phased. He pulled out his cellphone from his pocket, fast pressed some buttons and faced it towards her It was a video. I heard my own voice,
“What do you want, miss?”
“What I want is, Mr. Tony Hawker…”
Both I and Sarah were dumbstruck. It was the fight we had just a while back. I saw Sarah’s breath getting faster as the video proceeded to show her slapping me, pulling my collar, and then, pushing me. Sarah quickly reached for the phone but Robbie was faster. He pulled his hand back and put his cellphone in his pocket
“Threatening and assault are crimes, Miss Sarah! Either you take down all the posts about Tony and Twen or this video will be the headline of Warham daily tomorrow” Robbie said in dangerous silky voice
“Huh!” she snorted, “Do you think the cops can keep me in? Daddy would definitely get me out” she said looking a little crazy
“Yes he will. But bailing takes time. Even, with your father’s political reach, he will still need at least a day. By that time, I will achieve what I wanted to, ruining your image and reputation, just how you did with Tony”
“You-you..for him….how could” she stammered, trembling from head to toe. Tears were flowing down her eyes like flood.
“I tried to be your friend, Sarah. I didn’t want to marry you without having any feelings for you. I didn’t want to make you suffer but in your blind selfishness, you attacked the person I love and made him suffer. Don’t expect any mercy from me” Robbie said eyeing her with complete disdain.
I turned red. Did he just confessed his love for me in front of his ex-fiancee? I felt like face palming. I realised it a little late but I was still being held firmly by Robbie and pressed against his chest. I tried to squirm out of his hold but he only tightened his hold on me. Sarah, on the other hand, had her head hung, her tears dropping down on the floor and hair hiding her eyes.
“You have two minutes, Sarah. The video is already sent to Jane. I just need to ring her up and the video will be sent to printing press and television media. I suggest you to be quick”
I saw Sarah biting her lips hard enough to drew blood. She looked miserable but I can’t sympathise esp since she involved Twen in this mess. She put a shaking hand inside her purse and pulled out her cellphone…
