Unbreakable Bond

Chapter 18

Days passed, but Ishaan didn't come to college, one day after the lecture. I asked the teacher

"Good morning sir"

"Good morning Vidhi, what happened?"

"Actually sir, I wanted to know why Ishaan has not come to college for the past five days. Is he okay?"

"Hmm he is perfectly alright. Yesterday I found out his dad has transferred to Mumbai, so he will study further there"

"Oh okay thankyou sir"

I think he asked his dad to transfer somewhere else. So that he won't have to face me again and again and hurt himself. What have I done!!? It's all because of me!

After he was gone, my behavior entirely changed. Once I was a bubbly girl, now I was rude to everyone. I have anger issues. I don't trust people easily.

When I reached home, my phone buzzed. It was from Khushi, I picked it up

"Hello, Vidhi how are you?"

"Hi, I am fine how about you"

"If something is bothering you, you can tell me, after all I am your best friend"

"Khushi, when you said that Ishaan had planned a surprise for my birthday.

"Hm mm"

"He actually proposed to me and I rejected him, saying that I don't love him"

"Why? why did you do that to him?"

"Because I don't love him, he is just a friend of mine"

"Are you insane Vidhi? You love him idiot. I have seen you staring at him multiple times"

"Staring someone, is not LOVE"

"Yes it is, the way you look at him, and listen to all his problems. late night walks with him. Sharing every bit of your activities with him. It is LOVE"

"No I don't LOVE him, do you understand" I shouted at her angrily

"You are convincing yourself by saying that, shouting can't deny that you do love him"

"I don't LOVE him" I hung up the call in fury

I was frustrated, so I went to the sea shore to calm myself down. I walked there for a couple of minutes and sat on the shore. The memories were flashing in my mind. When we were talking about the ocean and peacefulness. Everything was reminded of him. I was remembering our sweet little moments, whenever I was sad he sang a song for me.

But I didn't feel the connection between us, that lovers feel. I don't love him but I kinda like him a little bit as a friend

After I calmed down, I returned home. My eyes landed on my guitar

Flashback

"Happy Birthday Vidhi, here's your gift"

"Thankyou Ishaan what is this?"

"Open it"

I opened the gigantic box, I was surprised that he gifted me a guitar

"Wow, this is the bestest gift I have ever got. Thank you so much" I gave him a bear hug

"Most welcome" he reciprocated the hug

Flashback Ends

I thought to play it sometime, I sang the song which he taught me

Tu hi ye mujhko bata de
Chahun main ya naa
Apne tu dil ka pata de
Chahun main ya naa

Tu hi ye mujhko bata de
Chahun main ya naa
Apne tu dil ka pata de
Chahun main ya naa

Itna bata doon tujhko
Chaahat pe apni mujhko
Yun tto nahi ikhtiyaar
Phir bhi yeh socha dil ne
Ab jo laga hoon milne
Poochhu tujhe ek baar

Tu hi ye mujhko bata de
Chahun main ya naa
Apne tu dil ka pata de
Chahun main ya naa

Aisi kabhi pehle hui naa thi khwaahishein
O.. kisi se bhi milne ki
Naa ki thi koshishein
Uljhan meri suljha de
Chaahun main ya naa
Aankhon aankhon mein jataa de
Chaahun main ya naa

Mere chhote chhote khwaab hain
Khwabon mein geet hain
Geeton mein zindagi hai
Chaahat hai, preet hai
Abhi main na dekhoon khwaab woo
Jin mein na tu mile
Le khole honth maine
Ab tak the jo sile

Mujhko na jitna mujh pe
Utna iss dil ko tujh pe
Hone laga aitbaar
Tanha lamhon mein apne
Bunti hoon tere sapne
Tujhse hua mujhko pyaar o o...
Poochungi tujhko kabhi naa
Chaahun main ya naa
Tere khaabon mein ab jeena
Chaahun main kyun naa!

Tu hi yeh mujhko bata de
Chahun main ya naa
Apne tu dil ka pata de
Chahun main ya naa

In the end, I broke into tears. It is my best memory. I will cherish it forever.
After putting the guitar in the corner, I laid on the bed and slept.
