“Do you know where her parents live?” Akash raised a question from the driver's seat.
“Of course, I do. Do you think I will marry a girl without knowing anything about her?” Shishir switched his gaze from the window to Akash
“Yeah, I know.” He sighed before adding, “Let’s hope that she is still there.”
“There is nothing more than anything than to hope,” he replied, glancing out of the window.
“Yeah there, stop near that gate,&r
“I tried from my side, I think it is your turn now… don’t wanna go hand in hand?”[****]“Sorry, boss…” Akash said in a low tone which made the lady pause her sentence and widened her eyes in shock.“Wait! what?”“He… he is my boss, mom,” replied Akash.She gulped hard, before saying, “You mean the cold, arrogant, boss who you use to talk to..’“Mom…” Akash hastily stopped her from saying the full sentence.“I heard that…” Shishir said, making his way out of the house.
“Like everyone, I cannot promise you that I can die for you, but I can promise you that I will live for you… now it’s up to you to comprehend which is more difficult…”[****]Smacking the bumper, he yelled, “where… where might she go?”Akash stood close to him and placing his hand on his shoulder tried to comfort him, “stay calm, boss. We might find a way. Don’t lose it...”“How? How Akash How? She was inches close to me but now she is gone,” he said, losing all his hope.“What about her parents? Do you know where they live? Might be she went to them,” Akash questioned, turning towards Kate.
“If they don’t value your presence then trust me they are not the one for you…”[*****]“Ojaswi..” he mumbled underneath his breath before running towards her. But before he could reach her she jumped off the rock.“No… no…. No… Ojaswi,” he shouted, running, and then jumped down the river with a loud splash sound.Diving deep inside he tried to find her but she was nowhere to be found.Rising, he looked around, calling out, “Ojaswi…”“Boss…” Akash called out and moved his hand and gesturing him to come out.Shishir
“I didn’t want to walk away from you, but I knew I had to not because it would make me happy, it’s because it would make you happy…”[*****]With a heavy heart, Shishir left Ojaswi and walked away. Even though it was heartbreaking for him to leave Ojaswi, he did it. Not for him but Ojaswi.Knowing that she doesn’t love her he had to leave her for her happiness. He didn’t want to be selfish and force her to be with him.But as he was about to reach the car, suddenly an unexpected happened. Ojaswi hugged him from behind. He stood still dumbfounded not able to believe it. Slowly he placed his hand above her to find if it was true.“Please… don’t leave me&hell
“Sometimes I wish my heart to be ice cold, no emotion, no love, no feelings, just cold as ice…”[*****]“You know her?” Akash questioned out of astonishment.“Of course they do, Akash. They live in the same town,” Ojaswi stated.“Hi, Aunt Lily,” Kate approached Lily and exchanged a kiss.“Hi, Kate, how are you? How is Maddy?” questioned Lily looking at her lovingly.“Who is Maddy?” Akash mumbled in confusion.“Kate’s father,” replied Ojaswi shortly.“He is doing good,” repli
“The world is a better place to live when I get to live with you…”[*****]“Then what were you all doing there?” she questioned again.“Um! What are we doing Kate?” questions Akash looking at Kate.“I… I am teaching them some yoga moves,” replied Kate.“Yes, do you wanna join?” questioned Lily.But Kate hastily announced, ” okay we are done. That is all for today.” She got on her feet in no second.“Wow that feels good,” Lily said pretending to scratch her body.“See I told you y
“You are the light of my heart, which illuminates my life makes it brighter than the star...”[***]“Okay so where are we going?” questioned Ojaswi slipping inside Maria’s car.“You will get to know when we reach there. Patience babe… patience,” mumbled Marai buckling her seatbelt.“Okay…” scrunching her nose, Ojaswi buckled her seatbelt and reached out for her cell phone.“I am going to pick some items at the shopping mall with Marai. Will be home before you.” She texted Shishir.“Okay! Enjoy, take care,” Shishir texted back in no second.
“With time I am healing, and I am happy for that… but just one thing that upset me is that with time your memories are not fading away...”[*****]Ojaswi sat on the bench helplessly not able to believe Marai.She gripped the bench tight and tried to assure herself, “Marai is not telling the truth. There is no chance Shsihir would do that. He loves me, he cannot betray me that way… no…”She was trying her best not to fall on Marai’s word. But deep inside the insecurity was making her doubt his love.Suddenly she flinched when her cell phone vibrated inside her pants pocket. She took out the phone and glanced at the screen. Seeing Shsihir’s name, she kept o
