The Hangover of Love

1. Pain in our Hearts

"I hope life treats you kind

And I hope you have all you've dreamt of
And I wish you joy and happiness
But above all this, I wish you love

And I... will always love you
I will always love you
I will always love you
I will always love you

I will always love you
I, I will always love you" Varun sang the song.

Whitney Houston never used to be on his list but now holds a prominent place. The song, I will always love you, is his voice. He, too wonders now, how has old songs become the voice of his soul, but that indeed is the truth. 

"I loveeee youuuu Aliaaaaa" Varun shouted in the college campus by sitting on the knees and extending his arms but who would listen now? At the midnight? But little did he know that someone listened. 

Tears tripled down his cheeks and the fast heartbeat didn't let him face the cold winds of January. How much he wanted to embrace her, but destiny won't let him. 

'Please smile. Just like you always did.' quoted a paper which was wrapped around a stone that hit Varun's back. 

"Who? Who is there? Damn it tell me." Varun shouted being perplexed. He tried to listen to the footsteps, and he didn't fail. He heard someone running and moved to catch the person. 

The person ran and ran until his legs finally gave up and Varun caught him. 

"Hey, you. Yes, you. Who are you? Wait you are a girl and this mask? Remove it." said Varun and tried to remove the girl's mask, but she pushed him, and he fell. 

He was injured badly and this resulted in breakage of his leg bone. 

"Ouchhh!" he shrieked in pain. The girl ran to him and helped him get up. His head was too paining and had a bruise. 

"Varun" the girl voiced painfully. 

"Is it you Miam?" he questioned and fell in her arms fainting before completing.

"God, why did I push him so hard that he got so much injured. Why my actions result wrongly? I just wanted him to smile. But Miami Oberoi can do something right? This is next to impossible." she murmured and a pool of tears covered her face. 

She hurried and made him sit in her car. She drove fast and reached the hospital in less than 10 minutes. There were no major injuries but a serious fracture on his leg. Doctor suggested that he can walk, but he would need support every time and Miami took this point into consideration and smiled with tears looking at a faint Varun. 

Miami again put on her mask on noticing Varun moving. He again shrieked in pain, "Ouch" 

"Varun" shouted Alia as a spontaneous reaction. Kabir, who was sitting beside Alia, got up and asked Alia about anything wrong.

"Va...run... Varun. Kabir, something is wrong with my Varun. Something is wrong with our best friend Kabir." replied Alia.

"Shh... Nothing is wrong Alia. We called him, right? He was going to sleep. It's already 1, so he must be snoring by now." Kabir said with a tinge of humor and laughed. Alia smiled a bit.

"So, what about our remaining late night date?" Kabir asked giving his million dollar smile. 

"Kabir, shall we stop it now? I am feeling sleepy and actually something is gobbling me up." Alia asked.

"Ok sweetheart." Kabir said and side hugged her. Alia felt a bit uneasy at the mention of sweetheart and moved ahead of Kabir after breaking the embrace abruptly. 

"Varun" she kept muttering and wished for his well- being. Kabir got furious and shouted. Suddenly, a speeding car came towards them and in defense, Kabir ended up hitting the car into a car.
