Healed By Love

Chapter 2: Half Truth

Advik Khanna

It had always been said that Love and Patience are the two wheels and either of them shouldn't wear off. And  I don't know from how many years I had been just keeping my patience for the sake of this saying. It had been like this for the past 10 years. She was my entire world, my every breath, every glance and every moment.  The so called friendship I was keeping was always love but if only I would have confessed it to her then.

She was special to me so much that I was never able to forget her. What happened then, why I fell in love, I don't know anything. The only thing I know is I loved her. And also that I lost her. She was gone and that was a curse to me. Every single day of these past 10 years, I did everything with the memory of her. Every single night, I slept only with the memories of her. And God knows what I felt that moment when I was informed that I had a meeting with her.

Like every prayer, every moment of wait was fulfilled now. She was always there in this industry, I knew that but I never knew if she'd want to see me. But maybe today, even though in the haste of moment it happened, I got that chance, the moment I was waiting for. I met her again. And I'll find every answers now, I'll have her back again and this time she isn't going to go anywhere. Not again.

And one thing was for sure. Ruhi has changed. She is not the girl who used to be tensed for her future but instead this time she don't even think of the next move in her life except business. She is the not girl who would lose focus in a second but this time she was like, whatever circumstances comes she doesn't lose focus and then her beauty.

She had just became more beautiful. Her blue eyes, that smile, those lips, those silky hairs. Everything is just like more and more beautiful. But yes, one thing for sure isn't changed. Her healing. After I hugged her the lines she spoke had the power to heal any person in the whole world.

" Maybe it was all worth it,
Maybe it was meant for this,
But at the end, I am here again,
In your embrace and world right?
We are again looking at each other,
Maybe the loneliness was meant to give this happiness,
So let's just become happy
Why don't we?"

Her words were always healing. They can heal a person from heart and mind. She herself was hurting but told me to be happy. Her thoughts just make me want it more to meet her again. This time I don't wanna lose her. This time I want to embrace her for life long.

I took my phone from the desk and started messaging her hoping she would reply soon or I would just get a heart attack.

Advik: Hey!

Ruhi: Advik?

Advik: How do you know who is it?

Ruhi: I got you by the way of your texting.

Advik: Many people text like me. What if I am someone else.

Ruhi: Many people text like you, but not to me.

Advik: Ok you won. What are you doing?

Ruhi: I was just signing some papers. I have a flight tomorrow morning. What about you?

Advik: Oh, I was also working. Would you like to meet at a cafe.

Ruhi: Yeah sure, I will get free in half an hour.

Advik: Great, then let's meet at 6. Do you know the Carnation' Cafe.

Ruhi: Yeah, I will be there at 6.

Advik: Then final, now we should get back to work.

Ruhi: Ok then, meet you there.

It was a relief she texted immediately. And that too we will be meeting in an hour. The plan was going as planned. I closed the file in front of me and walked out of the company building. After getting home and getting ready I drove to the destination we were going to meet. I was taking a big risk and wasn't even knowing what would happen but maybe this was important. Ruhi wasn't here still. I reached the cafe at 5:55 p.m. I walked inside the cafe and located her instantly.
