The Only String Attached

"I already checked Bela. There are no flights before 27 November", he said.

"I want you to be away from this Bela. You don't din't deserve this pain. You cannot go through this pain in front of me", he said caressing my face.

I will go through this pain for all my life.

"I know dad. That's why I want to leave soon", I said sobbing.

"You din't tell to Bani di about this right"? I asked.

"No beta. But she has been crying from today afternoon", he said.

"Why"? I asked.

"She wants to talk to you. It's been a day since you spoke to her", my dad said.

My di cannot be without talking to me even for a day. I don't know how she will receive the news of me leaving.

"Where is she dad"? I asked.

"She is sleeping in her room beta", he said.

"I will talk to her", telling that I went to her room.

She was sleeping. My heart pained when I saw tear stains on her face.

"I love you so much di", I said caressing her face.

I don't want to change my feelings for her because of a man. That's why I'm leaving. I will create a problem in their life if I stay here.

I went back to my room and texted Mahir "SORRY". He saw my text but din't reply.

It's been one week and the wedding preparations are full on swing. Yuvi is sending me Mahir's pictures from his wedding functions.

They are going to get married tomorrow. They will start a new life.I will start a new life. But I'm scared how Mahir and Bani di will react when they see me leaving tomorrow.

There is a purpose for everyone you meet, some people come into your life to test you
Some to teach you
Some to use you
And some to bring out the very best in you.

Mahir showed me that life is beautiful. He showed me who I am. I will live my whole life with his memories.

I got a sister who loved me like her child.
I can live with that love for my whole life.

I packed all my bags and I'm ready to leave tomorrow.

I met my dad and told him that I will call him once a weak. I told him to not give a reaction in front of everyone while I'm leaving tomorrow.

With a heavy heart I dozed off to sleep.

I felt something shifting beside me. I saw di sleeping beside me. My eyes started to well up. It was morning and she started to wake up.

"Di why are you here? You should have a beauty sleep", I said.

"I feel comfortable sleeping beside you", she said kissing my temple.

"Di you know that I love you. I'm sorry. I was busy all these days and couldn't help you in any of your wedding preparations", I said.

"I understand Bela. Work comes first for you. And what about that admission you told", she asked.

No. She should not get there now.

"Leave that all di. I want to see your wedding saree", I said diverting her.
