Untouchable Sequel: A broken heart

Chapter 38

Finally, i was at the place. Couple's therapy. I saw the sign. It said; "Shanthy Agarwal". I hadn't seen Harish all morning, but i knew he was on the other side of the door. He was always early to appointments. 

I take my hand up to the door and knock two times. 

"Come in!" I hear a female voice on the other side of the door. 

I take in the door handle and walk-in. I see Mrs. Agarwal. She smiled as she saw me. 

"Hi, Divya! How are you? How are your parents?" Mrs. Agarwal asks. 

"They are good. They told me to say thank you!" I say and look at Mrs. Agarwal. 

"Anytime, why don't you take a seat beside Harish." Mrs. Agarwal says and points towards the seat beside Harish. 

I sit down without making a sound. Harish didn't even look up at me. He kept looking at the floor. 

Why don't you guys start from the beginning, what happened?" Mrs. Agarwal asks.

Harish places his head in his hands and starts to cry. As soon as i hear him crying i start crying.

"I'm so - o so - rry," Harish says while crying.

I closed my eyes and leaned my head backward. I was trying to make myself stop crying. I was tired of crying.

"That's okay. Take a deep breath. We don't have to start there. Tell me about your story. Divya when was the first time you saw Harish?" Mrs. Agarwal asked.

I dried my tears away, and look up at Mrs. Agarwal.

"I met him for the first time on a beach. My friends and i were celebrating one of my best friends' birthday at our local beach, and then i bumped into him." I say trying not to sob.

"Harish what did you feel the first time you saw Divya?" Mrs. Agarwal asks.

Harish looks up to Mrs. Agarwal.

"I was new to the area, and i had never seen her before. She was beautiful. Almost like an angel. And i never told her this, but that night after i had met her i went home and prayed..... to meet her again." Harish says trying not to cry.

I start crying silently.

"How does that make you feel Divya?" Mrs. Agarwal asks me.

"Hopeful," I reply cryingly.

"Great. You guys are doing good. Divya when was the moment you realized you were starting to get feelings for Harish?" Mrs. Agarwal.

"Ehm...we went to Anashi park together. I had never felt that alive with anyone before. Being with him made me feel like i could do anything.....like if i was in his presence anything was possible." I say drying away my tears.

"And now the same question to you Harish. When did you start falling for Divya?" Mrs. Agarwal asks Harish looking his way.

"I watched her read one time. She was reading "the notebook". It was getting dark, and the moon outside the window was shining down to her. She looked beautiful." Harish says.

I instantly turn my head towards Harish. He keeps looking at Mrs. Agarwal. That was one of the first nights he started working there.

"Is that shocking Divya?" Mrs. Agarwal asks me and looks at me.

Mrs. Agarwal looked down at her papers.

"He never told me that," I say drying my tears away.

"Why didn't you tell Divya, how you felt about her?" Mrs. Agarwal asks Harish and looks in his way.
