“What? Why?” she questioned getting on her feet.
“Come with me to study and work there…” he instructed.
“Nah! I have already created so much mess here. I better not create another mess there…” Ojaswi mumbled looking around the messy floor.
“Forget about the mess and come with me,” he said and grabbed all her stuff.
“No, wait…” she tried to stop him but
“I would like to be the rain that soothes the ear, but not the thunder that hurts…”[*****]In panic Ojaswi hastily texted back."Why what happened? Are you alright?”"Because I am feeling left out…”“What?” Ojaswi couldn't understand him. “What does that mean?”“That means that a person didn't wish to have a good day, neither did she turn back to wave her hand smiling. And without that, I am living the worst day of my life…”Soon after Ojaswi read the text, curves appeared on her lips and she felt butterflies in her stomach. &ldquo
“If you cannot be the light to lit up their life, be the wind to blow all their sorrows…”[*****]Shishir was waiting for her reply desperately. He didn’t waste a second to check the message soon after it arrived. But he was not able to understand what the black heart meant.He stared blankly at the screen thinking deeply. He took a deep breath and thought to call her. Pressing the phone against his ear, he waited for her to pick up, but she didn’t pick up.“Now what does that even mean?” he mumbled and dialed again. Still, she didn’t answer.The third attempt notified him that the number has been switched off. “Is she playing a game with me?” he mumb
“Let us engrave our love with honesty and make it a prototype in this 21st century…”[*****]Shishir paced back and forth. The tension was increasing with the time passing. He was growing desperate and restless.Seeing his condition, Edward stepped forwards to console him. “Mr. Mendas, please sit down. Everything is going to be alright.”“How can you say that? Are you a doctor? She was bleeding like, Edward,” Shishir exploded on him.“I…” The principal got speechless.Glancing at him with his wide eyes, Shishir retorted, “If anything happens to her, I am not going to spare any of you.”
“Don’t lose hope it is not just you, somewhere in the universe is probably leaving the same situation as you are leaving... You are not alone at all...”[*****]“Are you trying to tease me knowing my secret that I have never been to the sea?” Ojaswi questioned which shocked Shishir totally.“Ojaswi, please don’t do this, I am not liking it,” Shishir said gulping hard.“I am really not getting what you are talking about. Please go away. I am scared of you,” Ojaswi said in a trembling voice.“Ojaswi…” he tried to take her hand but she pulled it away and screamed, “please get away from me.”
“If you have no plans of spending your whole life with me then get close to me…”[*****’Slowly she kept her feet on the floor, but as she got on her feet, suddenly she felt the world spinning. She held her head and tried to stand still but she lost her balance.“Ojaswi…” Shishir rushed towards her and held her.“Shishir,” in a quavering voice she called out. And burying her face on his chest, she mumbled, “I am sorry… I am so sorry. I didn’t know you had spent the whole night with me. Or else I would never spoil your mood.”Shishir gripped her cheeks and made her glance at him, said, &l
“Sometimes I really wonder what is the difference between crush and love… while I think I know it… maybe our crush is just made to soothe our eyes and our love to soothe our heart..., Did I get it right?”[*****]Soon after Reena left, Ojaswi turned towards Shishir and said proudly, “you see I didn’t get rejected. You got the wrong prediction..”Shishir rolled his eyes, and said, “that overconfidence is not nice. Your picture is probably not going to get selected I know.”Ojaswi's jaw dropped hearing him. “What.. what do you mean by that?” she stammered.“Nothing…&rdquo
“Not a quote, just curious to know, am I the only one who wastes an hour staring at nothing?”[*****]“I don’t care about anything, Ojaswi. You have to take it. I am ready to risk anything to make you accept these roses,” he insisted.“Please, don’t insist, Harry. You really don’t need to risk anything, I just told you I cannot accept it. So please take it back. I really don’t want you to get in trouble,” Ojaswi said, shoving his hand.Anger simmered in his eyes and trying his best to put control of his temper, Harry grumbled, “Is it because of your boyfriend?”“What?” Ojaswi was surprised.
“Know the difference between what you dream with your open eyes and closed eyes… one might barely come true but the other will definitely come true if you work hard for it…”[*****]“Don’t you dare to say anything about it to Shishir. Or else you are so dead. This is my sharp warning,” Ojaswi said, stepping down the car.“Okay,” Akash replied in a low tone standing beside the door. He was already feeling suffocated but he knew he had to keep it within himself.They both walked into the house and the moment she stepped in she started to miss Shishir. There was barely a time she had spent the time in the home without him, so her eyes were searching for him even after knowing that he was not there.
