“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
“If you want to come into my life, the door is open, if you go out of my life the door is still open, just don’t stand on the door you are blocking the traffic…” #copied[*****]“Is everything alright, boss?” questioned Akash seeing Shishir’s pale face.Shishir blankly glanced at the screen for a second and looked around the house which he had decorated to give Ojaswi a surprise. But he knew that all meant nothing now.“Boss…” Akash called out again.“Hm! Yes…” he replied, flinching little with his call.“What happened? Why a solemn face?”
“Value my presence because once I am gone I will never look back…” #copied[*****]“We are here…” announced Fenil, pushing the rusted gate.Glancing at the old Bungalow Ojaswi mumbled, “You live here?”“Yeah, for now. I will soon be shifting away from here,” he replied, closing the gate.The lawn had the grass grown till her ankle and the color of the Bungalow had faded away. It seemed like no one had lived there for many years. Overall the condition of the place was just satisfying to shelter their head for a night.Wrapping his hand around her neck, Fenil said, “don’t go on its outer a
“If they are okay with losing you, stop fighting…” #copied[*****]Shishir drove the car away but he was not able to go further. So, he stopped the car and thought for a while, “I cannot let her go that easily. I know she is in love with me and is just angry. That is why she chose him. I cannot let her go that easily.”Then he turned back the car and drove away.“It’s alright. I will find some other way,” he said and disconnected but as Akash brought his gaze back to the road, he hit the break hard jolting.He nearly hit Shishir’s car which had halted all of a sudden. He took a deep breath in relief, mumbling “Phew! That was close,” and wiped the swea
“Always remember that your present situation is not your final destination. The best is yet to come...” #copied[*****]Ojaswi got down the car and glanced inside. But Shishir didn’t glance at her. He was still cold and had not spoken to her.“Bye…’ Ojaswi said and without any reply, he drove the car away.She walked to the gate and before entering in, glanced back. But his car had already gone far. She took a deep breath.“What did I do? Why did I ever doubt him?” regretting she entered the gate.She sat by the window and glanced outside. She was lost in deep thought. The memories of the things that happened early morning
“If you expect the world to be fair with you because you are fair. You’re fooling yourself. That’s like expecting the lion not to eat you because you didn’t eat him….”[*****]Shishir glanced at the rearview mirror. He saw Ojaswi was looking in his direction but he pretended like he was not paying attention to her and kept on driving. He took a deep breath and regretted the things told to her.“She should have not done that. Or else I would not be losing my mind.” In no time he found an excuse to assure himself. “Yeah, that was her fault.”His conversation got interrupted when his cell phone rang. He answered the call by turning on the speaker button.
Ojaswi rubbed her forehead in anxiety. Slowly she stepped in front of the camera and with difficulty she was able to face the camera. Then rubbing her forehead in nervousness, she started, “I…” “Stop…” suddenly Shishir entered the show. “Shishir?” She was astounded, so was everyone. “What are you doing here, Shishir? Don’t worry, I got this, please go,” Ojaswi tried to make him return but Shishir’s eyes were fixed on William. He made his way towards William coldly. “I am not letting you win this easily,” he said looking deep into his eyes. “What do you mean?” William raised his brows. Shishir turned to the camera and said, “I am sorry for intruding in the show this way
“My love for you is infinite in number…”[*****]“Okay, I am in but I have two conditions…”“Go ahead…” William said casually.Carefully, Shishir darted at the screen waiting for her to tell what conditions she had.“First all the voting lines will be live…” she kept her first condition.“Okay done… and second?” William agreed without any hesitation and hurried to hear her next condition.With a grin on her face, she said, “there will be no mention of names in the photographs.”
“Dealing with it seemed almost impossible for me before I remembered people know very little of me and there is no big deal when people judge me knowing very little of me.”[****]“Do you think this will work?” Having doubts about what she was going to do next, Ojaswi questioned Shishir.“Of course, I am damn sure about it. I believe you will get through this. Whatever you have decided is a great move, I am proud of you.” Shishir pulled her in his arms.He kissed her head before letting her go. Ojaswi was about to walk onto the stage when suddenly Kate appeared.“Going without seeing me?”“Kate…” Oja
“No matter how bad things get, the sun will rise again and its light will find you…”#copied[*****]“I am suffocating,” as Ojaswi said suddenly Shishir hit the break.“What? What happened? Is it very serious? Should I take you to the hospital?” he questioned, taking a glance at her. “What a fool I am? Why am I asking you that? I better take you to the hospital.” He started to drive the car again.“No, Shishir doctors cannot help me,” Ojaswi replied sadly.“Is it that serious? Don’t worry once we get there we will know,” he blurted in panic.“I don’t need medical atten
“Give yourself enough respect to walk away from anyone who doesn’t see your worth…”[*****]“Are you ready?” questioned Shishir extending his hand towards her.Ojaswi grasped his hand and stepped out of the car with a warm smile. “Always, when I am with you.”“Okay, then…, let’s go in...”Ojaswi hooked her hand around his arm and they marched towards the school building, which was noisy with loud music coming from the hall.As they were about to reach the hall, suddenly Ojaswi came to halt. Shishir couldn’t understand and questioned, “What happened?”
“If you don’t sacrifice for what you want, what you want becomes the sacrifice…”[*****]“Please… don’t do this to me, please…” She begged but he threw her on the road and slipped on the driver's seat.She hastily got on her feet and ran towards him. “Harry, please… stop… please…. Don’t leave me here.”Without paying any attention to her cry, he drove the car away. She ran after his car crying and shouting but he left with a satisfied smile on his face.Helplessly, Ojaswi glanced at both sides. There was no sighting of any vehicle. She didn’t even have her cell phone and there was no way for her to seek help
“When you love what you have you have everything you need…” #copied[****]With tears on the brim of her eyelid, Ojaswi said in a low tone, “I miss you so much, Shishir…”“I too miss you a lot, my love. Don’t worry I will be there soon,” Shishir replied, trying to console her.“It has been one week, Shishir. I have not seen you for one week. You have no idea how hard it is to live without seeing you,” she walked to the window and stood.“Believe me, I too want to see you, my love. But my work is not ending here.” His voice sounded sad.“When are you coming back?” Ojaswi ra
“Small steps in the right direction are better than big steps in the wrong direction…” #copied[*****]Ojaswi hastily ventured, “I am sorry... I am sorry, I didn’t mean to…”Unexpectedly Shishir pressed his lips against her. Ojaswi froze with his action and opened her eyes wide.Pulling away Shishir pressed his forehead against her and cupped her face. “I don’t like fighting with you…”Ojaswi hugged him tightly. “I too don’t like it. I am really sorry.”“It’s alright…” he said pulling away and wrapping his hand around her shoulder pulled her to the bed.
“Some people get mature before their age because life shows them the worst side of the world at an early stage of life…”#copied[*****]“Was it you behind my dad getting the job?”“What?”“Yes or no, Shishir…” she asked, controlling her rage. She was sure that if he was behind it then she was going to explode on him.“Ojaswi, tell me one thing why would I be behind your dad getting the job? Do you think I am that pathetic to control all your life?”“I was just… “Before she could explain
