[Sumit]
"Hey, Rohit how are you doing?" I asked hesitantly as I fiddled with a pen.
"Wow, look whose calling! Someone pinch me...Am I dreaming?" He asked feigning a dreamy voice.
<[Aruna]"Did youactuallyredo the office cabinets according to my suggestion?" I asked thoughtfully. After a moment of silence, Sumit replied, "Yeah, it was a good one and moreover I didn't change anything in the office for the past 3 years or so. Therefore the change was good".
ArunaTaking a sip from the paper cup, the scalding hot beverage burned my tongue and throat, however, that was the last thing bothering me. I aimlessly stared out of the small yet cosy cafe's window - people hurrying up and down the road, cars honking and zooming past my line of sight. I sighed and glanced at my watch.
Aruna"He saidwhat?!" Rohit roared. I flinched slightly before answering, "Yeah".I know it's surprising that instead of calling Rashu, I called him. It was because he did get agitated
ArunaI stared at the screen. The phone kept buzzing. The better part of me wanted to throw the damned device but didn't do it because right now I didn't need to go through the hassle of buying a new phone.The buzzing stopped. I wa
Sumit"Do you have any freaking idea what you did? Of what effect it can have on Aruna?!" Rohit bellowed in my soundproof office. I was sat in my high back chair, my temples throbbing consistently. I started massaging it to ease the ache but my brother's shouting worsened it.
Aruna"Will you be alright?" Rashu asked in a concerned voice. I nodded with a small smile. After I had ended the phone call, Sumit hadn't called back, not even once. I had fallen asleep while preparing my thesis and wasn't even aware when he had come back last night and when he left. The only inkling of his recent detour to the apartment was the haywire condition of the bathroom. That man for the life of him couldn't keep things in
SumitMy lips twitched in a ghost of a smile. I nodded and went into the kitchen. Preparing two steaming mugs of hot chocolate instead, I went back to the other room.I was panicking internally as I watched Aruna take a seat on the
ArunaIt was after a few moments that I realized that I was being kissed by the person who I was in love with and who was actually in love with me. The thought made my body warm all over.
4 years later...Aruna"Sumit please hurry up, we need to get everything ready on time. The guests will arrive soon," I urged a
ArunaTo say things had changed dramatically would be an understatement. One letter had changed it all. Rohit and Rashmi were dumbfounded when the next day I told them about Maa's letter. Rohit had his jaw clenched as he took in the information. He was still angry on Ankush bhaiyaa for concealing such a big thing. Rashmi surprisingly was more understanding.
Aruna"Well...you were going to marry Tia?" I finally asked after an awkward silence. Sumit kept the letter on the tea table looking at it with a blank expression. He turned his gaze to me."Uh...I was...well I was going to tell you
ArunaI swallowed down the lump that was forming in my throat. No, I needed him to know, now that he had trusted me with his past. I needed to be by his side and to assure him that he wasn't a murderer. He killed, yes but who wouldn't? Who would love to live and tolerate the torture until that insane creature's death? If he would escape and the man would still be alive I am sure he would have found him and Sumit would suffer more than he was already suffering and
