“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.
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
