Divya
I was walking to and fro in my room going through some of the files which I gotta work on.
I received a call and picked my phone and smiled seeing it's Anu..
"Where are you?", She asked
"Home", I replied
"What the hell Divi, din't I tell you gotta come here by today?", She shouted
She will never change.. shouting at me is something she loves to do!
"Calm down, I couldn't get a ticket for today Anu.. I booked it for tomorrow and I'll be there tomorrow afternoon", I informed
"Ok fine, I'll adjust with that.. and yeah send me the time, me and Aarav will come to pick you up", she said
"That's not needed Anu, Bhai said he'll be coming", I said
"Acha, then I'll come with Siddardh Bhai.. it's been like three months I saw you, I wanna meet you soon", she said
"Sorry that I couldn't make time.. was having a little busy schedule in the office.. you stay back with Aarav, it's your marriage and you can't roam around like this", I said
"You won't change only, when did you listen to me.. anyways, you will directly come home atleast", she asked
"I'll go with Bhai Anu, I'll freshen up and come there ok?", I asked
"Ok and one thing, I want all your concentration only on me and my marriage.. if I see you sulking there then I'm not marrying only", she said slowly
I know what she meant, that's what I was doing all these months.. sulking over my own life and fate.
"Don't zone out Divi", I heard Anu
"Sorry, it won't happen again.. I'm coming for you and my full concentration on you only", I said
"Good, ok then complete your work if you have any.. you are on leave for the next two weeks straight", she said
"Sure, bye", I said and cut the call
It's been months that I even had a fun time with Anu.. but I can't be the same now, it's her marriage and the time she has to be happy.. I won't spoil her happiness with my life issues.
I actually kept a leave for two weeks, ofcourse my boss din't accept initially but after my constant request and being the kind soul he accepted only if I work when it's urgent or nessasary.
I'm currently in Kolkata, and have to go back to Mumbai tomorrow.. going back to a pack of memories I had there..
"Hey Divya, I'm going out for a while.. you ok right?", I heard Aadhya
Aadhya is my roommate since when I shifted to Kolkata.. I'm glad I found her who although not very close to me, was a very good friend of mine.
If she wasn't there then I don't know how I would have managed in a new place initially..
"Yeah Aadhya, you go and I'm fine.. don't worry", I smiled
"You are going back to Mumbai tomorrow right for two weeks? I was given some work there as well.. so I'll come there after a week or so, so we can come back together?", She asked
"Sure, inform me when are you coming and all later", I said
"Yeah, and damn Divi I'll miss you.. although we don't talk much being in the office till evening and you being an introvert doesn't talk much.. but still I'll miss you", she pouted
"I'll miss you too Aadhu..", I was gonna say while she interrepted
"No you won't, you will have Anu there.. you bestie's marriage it is.. so why will you even think of me?", She glared
"I know we don't talk much and may be not very great friends also.. but trust me Aadhya you are close to my heart.. it's just that I don't mingle fast so I'm still a little reserved.. but I really like you", I said it out
"I know, I was just kidding", she hugged me
"Ok then I'm leaving, it's a small party one of my colleague is giving.. will be back soon", she smiled and left the place
She's thinking I'll be happy going back to my place.. but only I know how much it hurts realising I don't belong there anymore..
Bhai even pleaded me to stay with them, but I somehow couldn't.. I din't wanted to bother anyone.. I really felt I'm a burden to all of them, I know I'm not but I'm feeling such and I can't help it either.
Bhai and Nidhi Di got married and it's gonna be an year next month.. Anu and Aarav are getting married a week later..
I gotta go and seems like this time I can't avoid it.. initially everyone asked me to come back and talk to him for once, for once din't they expect him to do the same?
He clearly dint wanted me.. I still can't believe he said that but when I heard it with my own ears how can I deny the fact? He said it himself and yet I pleaded him, but seems like he don't love me anymore.
I thought our love was eternal, but that probably faded with time from his side whereas I remained the same sulking over him..
It's been 1 year, 4 months I came from there, 1 year when my life took a drastic turn.. never in my life I felt alone, but when he left me I felt no one needs me..
Bhai still doesn't like me staying away, but he knows whatever he do I wouldn't be able to move on either.
I don't know how I'm gonna face him, I just hope I don't loose control of my emotions when I see him.. I don't want him to think I'm weak when in real I'm vulnerable without him.
Even after these months I still shed tears for him which probably held no value.. I wiped it instantly but it kept pouring down my cheeks and my heart felt heavy with the bitter incidents of that day.
One day, and my life just changed!!
Anyways, I went and splashed some water on my face and prepared myself to face him tomorrow.
Arjun
I was in my office working on one of our projects when I received a call from dad.
"Hello", I said
"You better leave home now Arjun, Aarav is asking for you and you can't disappoint your friend", he said
"Dad I just came to office", I said
"I know, but I'll handle all the work till his marriage.. I insist you leave all this to me for a week atleast and enjoy the marriage Arjun", dad said
"Ok dad, I'll start now and mail you the regarding files", I said
"Ok, I'll look into.. and yeah go directly to Anu's house", he said
"Anu?", I asked confirming
"Yeah, Aarav is at her house itseems and even Nidhi is there.. so you guys can enjoy together", he said
"Siddharth Bhai?", I asked
"Yeah he's also there.. he.. he is gonna pickup Di.. Divi", dad said slowly
"Divi?", I whispered softly
"Yes Arjun, Divya is coming for there marriage today.. Anu wanted her way before all the rituals start", he said
"Oh okay", I said slowly
"What ok Arjun, none of us know why you both seperated.. either of you told any to us and we still respected your decision and dint ask anything further.. but I know you still love her no matter what, try to talk and clear your misunderstanding Arjun.. I want you both together again", dad said
"I don't know dad.. it's just..", I stopped
What do I even tell him? I myself don't how one think led to another that it lead to our seperation.
"It's ok Arjun, but remember she'll leave in two weeks again.. so you have 14 days in your hand to get her back in your life, I hope you don't waste that", dad said and cut the call
How should I face her? It was my fault that I dint speak up that time.. but I was sure she would understand from my side but what she did was unexpected that I'm unable to believe even today.
I don't know if it's my mistake or the situation which wasn't in our favour but my life turned a living hell since that day.
I realised she never spoke or shared it with anyone and I too never did.. mom dad where concerned for us but couldn't do any.
I'm atleast glad that her parents and Bhai where still the same with me..
I dint believe what I saw that day, but the fact that she took me wrong for my silence still hurts me. She could have waited for us to have a small talk atleast..
Dad was right, I let her go then thinking that's what she wanted and probably that she needed her time.
But now it's been more than an year and I want her back in my life.. I'll convince her this time, I know she loves me so I know she can't stay away from me for long..
If she actually moved on, then I'll win her heart again.. she's still the same for me and this time I won't let her go.
I want to clarify and clear everything that happened.. I was us back together.
Two weeks, fourteen days.. I won't leave you Divi..
I took my belongings heading towards Anu's house. I reached in some time and Aarav came seeing me.
"I thought you won't come", he said
"I want her back Aarav", I said
"I know Arjun, although I don't know what actually between you both.. but I know you both still love eachother and never actually moved on", he said
"She still loves me?", I asked with a hope
"You weren't talking to her Arjun.. but I was in constant touch with her and I'm sure you are the only one still in her heart", he said confidently
"I wish so", I smiled sadly
"Bro, you know she's sensitive.. but this time even if she get hurt don't distance from her.. this is main reason me and Anu forced her to come this early prior to our marriage", Aarav said
"Thanks bro, this time I'll make sure I'll win her heart and forever", I said determined
"That's good.. ok now come, Divi will be here any time soon", he said
"Bhai went to pick right?", I asked
Aarav was gonna answer while I saw Siddardh Bhai coming towards us.
"I din't go Arjun, I was caught with some work and she said she already took a cab", bhai informed
I just nodded not knowing what to say..
"Talk to her", Bhai said
"Ye.. yes Bhai, I'll", I said looking aside
"I'm sure she'll try to avoid you as much as possible.. she probably won't be able to control infront of you.. you should only talk", he said
"I know, she did this only before also.. I'll take care", I assured him
"Ok then, I'll join you guys in a while.. stuck with some work", Bhai said leaving the place
"I hope I can see you both kissing madly on the fourteenth day from now", Aarav said
"Shameless, first go and think of your bride", I glared
Kiss? It's been more than a year I even saw her in person.. it was Aarav at times who sends me her pictures if any that also without Anu knowing about it..
Apparently Anu wanted us together yet she dint wanted to do anything which Divya might not like, so she left it all for us both.. but now don't know why she thought to see us together again.
I don't know if things can be right again, but I'll try my best.. I have two weeks with me to clear out everything and I'll do it keeping my male ego aside coz what's important is only Divya for me.
Come soon Divi, it's already been long I was alone without you.. now I really can't wait when I know you are coming..
