It Doesn't End With Us

Happy?

For Rishi, the earth stopped revolving at that exact moment. Didn't make it through? What did, didn't make it through mean? Did it mean that Divya expired, like his mother? Did it mean that she won't be there for him like his brother? Did it mean that it was his fault because he didn't stay with her?

So many questions was lingering in his mind. What? How? When? And the most important 'why'? Why him? Why he was the one whom everyone left always? Everybody framed him as the person who left people but the reality was another way around. Nobody stayed with him. He was a lonesome, he always was lonesome and he would be a lonesome because he didn't deserve anyone, that's what his father taught him. His father always told him that  he was leader and leaders didn't need anyone in their lives, leaders are strong and manipulative, Leaders didn't cry but he was crying at that moment. He had faced this very moment, he knew how it felt when someone so dear to you leaves you or worse, leaves the whole world.

"Baba are you alright?" The maid pulled him out of his thoughts. He gained his composure and got aware of his surroundings.
"Where's the lady who came to meet me?" He asked in a voice that was barely above a whisper.
"She left 10 minutes ago and told me to not to disturb you and  give you your time to digest the news." She replied.
He hummed and left for his room.

He didn't want to cry, he wasn't feeling sad. He just lose one more person who was so dear to him still, his eyes weren't forming tears. He was just feeling numb, his heart was aching but he was not able to give a reaction he just thought of one thing

Is anyone, anywhere happy?

Back to present

Suhaana was busy in taking screenshots of the each and every post of the *writer who will write one day* she wanted ask him what went wrong but didn't want to intrude but her curiosity won over her thoughts and she instantly typed the message

Me:-

Hey! Is everything alright?
Why are you deleting your
account suddenly?

She sent the message and waited for the reply but it didn't come. She continued taking screenshots but something wasn't feeling right and she didn't know what.

She entered her house and went to see her angel who was sleeping peacefully. When suhaana took her daughter into her arms, her angel's face lit up like she recognised her mother's touch even in her sleep. Suhaana hid angel's face in the crook of her neck and started flowing silent tears. Her eyes fell on a letter which was neatly placed on her table she opened that letter and found a wedding card a wedding card? Who is getting married? Nobody told her. When she saw the names on the wedding card her face lost all the colour.

                              Kabir
                              Weds
                            Akshita

Suhaana's jaw dropped and her lips started to tremble. It can't happen, it won't happen. How can he? Did she really never know him? Was she hallucinating?

Memories of the past came back to her mind. The day when her soul commiserated  itself, the day she found out about him. About her. About them.

Kabir? Her ex husband. He was getting married. Again.
