"We kind off came a long way, ok you wait here and I'll bring the bike", he said

"I.. I'll also come with you", I said

"No Divya, you stay here.. how much would you walk, I'll get the bike here only", he smiled

"That's ok I can walk, I'll come with you", I asked again

"No stay here.. I'll come fast", he said and left the place

Idiot he is.. last time only he saw me getting scared and even promised me that he wouldn't leave me alone again.. and now he just left me here alone and I can't see a single person around.

It's ok Divya.. Arjun will come soon, the cafe is near by only..

Actually no, we walked almost for 15 minutes, so he'll take the same to reach back.. so he will take around 20 minutes to come back.

Damn, what do I do alone now?

I looked around if someone is there and found none except me standing to a side clueless. I started sweating suddenly and felt consious remembering a few bitter incidents from the past.

No, I can fall weak again.. Divi calm down that's ok, Arjun will come soon.. and it's totally fine, I can stay alone for a while!

I kept saying the same to myself and somehow I felt relieved in few minutes.. I din't feel that scared now but still was praying Arjun to come the soon.

I felt bored standing at the same place.. so started walking slowly seeing my surroundings as I din't even know which place we where in now.

I heard a horn sound and turned to see Arjun parking his bike. He smiled at me and I walked towards him.

"You fine?", He asked

I nodded slightly and he held me by my shoulders.

"I'm sorry that I left you alone despite knowing that you feel scared.. but trust me you have to overcome this Divya", he said

I din't understand and looked at him confused.. wait, what does he mean.?

"Did you do it intensionally?", I asked

"Yes, I wanted you to be strong despite whatever happened in your past.. now you have your brother or Anu always by your side and they will be also.. but life is unpredictable Divya, we don't know what's in the future and one day if we ar'nt by your side then I don't want you to freak out", he said looking into my eyes

"I'm sorry if you felt offended, but this was needed Divi.. you have to overcome all your fears and stay strong in any situation of your life", he continued

"Thank you", I whispered

"You ar'nt angry with me?", He asked

"No, I'm happy that you thought so much about me.. my brother as well Anu always accompanied me making sure I was safe and fine but.. but you where the only one who thought to make me overcome all these.. thank you", I said what I felt the moment

"You don't have to, and by the way.. did you feel scared?", He asked worried

"Yes but later I felt better", I smiled

"That's good, you try to stay alone and going in dark as well.. ofcourse when me or someone is around you for initial days, later you will get used to it slowly", he said

I smiled and nodded at his statement.

Arjun

She was looking mesmerizing today and I had the urge to say the same to her but I held back thinking how she would take it.
