Healed By Love

Chapter 3: A New Road

( Ruhi's New York penthouse above)

Ruhi Singhania

Life is really so unpredictable sometimes. In the cafe, I was feeling so suffocated. I rarely even showed my feelings to myself and today I was in a cafe crying badly which I obviously didn't want.

I thought to go back to the penthouse and just lock myself in my room. I actually dreaded the thought of crying in my room but I knew it from the very starting, that the day I would remind myself of those days, I would break out whole, physically and mentally.

But none of that is really happening and I am here in a car with Advik. I really hesitated at first whether I should go or not, but now I am feeling it was the right decision to come here, and that all thanks to Advik that he made me come with him.

Taking out time for myself. Doing something for myself.

I didn't know where he actually was taking me. I have only explored a bit part of this city and that everytime I drive I have to use GPS.

The car ride wasn't boring as he kept me telling about our friends that I unfortunately lost. Many of them were successful. Many of them are married. He talked about his college time and that too which was with Ahaana so it would have been much fun. I missed very much.

A soft music was playing in the car that I liked. I rarely listened to songs or sang now. But I had a huge fan liking for my singing during school time. I clearly remember that. The soft type of music where the lyrics would describe every feelings was my taste in music and I am glad, actually very glad that he remembered the type of music I liked.

Because somewhere even I forgot how I was. Maybe this is how life is everytime. Sometimes unpredictable and unbearable to sometimes everything going how you planned and a happy one.

I can clearly remember my frustrations when I got out of the car due to work but as I saw him standing in front of me with the smile that I craved for these years, it made all my frustrations and worry vanish. I don't know what magic it was but he comforted me every time or rather saying healed me from everything by just his mere existence.

I enjoyed the whole day. I like this city more now. It was already 10 when I reached home. Just in one day. One day and my whole life did change.

That night I slept without any sleeping pills. I was smiling that day in the shower. Maybe this was missing. Maybe 'someone' was missing.

I did not dream of what I lost that night but I dreamt of someone I again received.

I was also feeling embarassed telling him what was my real feelings back then. I never imagined telling him those. And also what would he think, that I just left them because of that mere accident. Because the that was just a half truth.

A fear was also taking place in my heart whether this all would just stay with me now or again after today I will lose all these things.

Because I still don't have Ahaana with me. We were those crazy best buddies back then who the whole school would know. And I, Ahaana and Advik have done so many crazy things that I would burst out laughing thinking about those. It's just crazy when I come to think of it that how much I have changed.

I woke up in the morning with someone ringing the bell. I didn't even saw the time and walked to the front door. I was even going to trip on the stairs.

" Why am I felling so sleepy? And who the hell has to come this early in the morning? " I murmured to myself slightly angry. I opened the door and met the unimaginable sight in front of me.
