SOUL MATE

Just a Body?

Arnav's POV

"Chote , one day a person will enter your life and will rob your heart forever, That person would become your life and without her you will feel as if you cannot breath"

I didn't believe a single word which Di had said untill Kushi fell into my arms on the day of the fashion show in lucknow. My heart had skipped a beat for the very first time in my life.

And as the idiotic jerk I'm , I had ignored the feelings and behaved ruthlessly towards her , I thought she would not cross path with me again , but fate had other games to play , she would bump into me everywhere from office and then at home.

To be Truthful, everytime I looked at her , I felt scared , scared of my self , Scared that I would break the wall which I built around me to protect myself , scared that I would cross the line which I had drawn.

Yes, you are absolutely right I'm a coward, I'm scared of love and all the feelings associated with it , I'm scared of commitment. To mask my insecurities, I started being a jerk towards her. My only aim was that she stayed away from me. But the irony is , I was always drawn in her direction, no matter how far she went.

I opened my eyes slowly adjusting to the brightness , my head is throbbing. I can see the white walls , my left hand was sore , I see the needle was Pierced in my veins , the drips . I groaned.

Am I in hospital ?

Then the realization hit me. Everything from the morning played in my vision.

"Kushi" I stammered.

My mouth felt dry.

I saw Di sitting at the end of the bed wiping her tears.

I never believed in God , but at this moment I prayed to Kushi's Devi maiyya , "please keep Kushi safe , please let all this just turn into a bad dream, Kushi believes in you alot , please save her " I hoped my prayers turn into reality even though my heart was sensing the worst.

Di looked at me and came towards me hurriedly,

"Chote , how are you feeling now ? Do you need anything ?"

Do I need anything? , yes all I need is my Kushi , I want take her in my arms and never let her go. I want to caress her silky hair , I want to kiss her forehead, I want to apologise, I want ...

My reviver was broken when Di called me again.

"Kushi " I choked

New set of tears started to flow from Di's eyes .

"Vo chali gayi chote , hum sab ko chodkar chali gayi , she is no more "
She started to sob hugging me .

(She is gone, she has left us all)

I felt numb , what was I supposed to feel anymore ? I had already sensed this. Tears started to cascade down my face " I was right , there is no Devi maiyya, if she was there, she would have never snatched Kushi from me " before I knew, I was hugging back Di and crying like a child . Last time I had cried like this when mom had took her life.

Lavnya Kashyap's POV

I was leading very destructive life before Kushi entered. I had lot of friends and I would spend lavishly on them so that I would always be everyone's center of attraction, I was always scared of being left out, so I did what everyone of my age did. But no one knew me in depth. Everyone wanted to hangout when it's profitable for them. I always found myself alone in the lowest of times.

But Kushi was diffrent , at first I hated her , I hated her dressing style , I hated the way she spoke, I hated everything about her. I thought she was pretending to be good. How can anyone be so selfless?
