16: OLD SCARS

VANSH'S POV;

"Well now since we are stuck here, we have to wait!!" I said and dropped myself on the bed. "Or maybe you could call??" she said. " I would but sadly, i left my phone outside and your bag is also outside, i told rey and sam not to disturb me till tomorrow!" i answered her question.

"Until then, lets search for this non-existent bag which i have taken" i said and started looking everywhere. While she just sat on the bed, indulged in some deep thoughts. "Are you even sure, that i took it?" i said which disturbed her deep thoughts and finally she looked upto me and eyes meet, i don't know why but they are radiating some kind of pain, wish i could know what it was.

"Maybe, i left it in aditya's car, sorry for the trouble" she said and started walking towards the door, looks like she forgot our little  situation here, yet i don't stop her. She tries opening the door and turns around to take a seat in the couch.

"I know you won't tell me, but mind if i ask, what happened? in these 3 hours time frame, that you seem soo upset?" i said and sat beside her. "I miss her you know, she was my best friend" she started, and i was scared that did something happen to misha? "Misha?" i ask her softly.

"Aadhya, misha came in later, aadhya died 2 years ago" i was feeling sad for her, genuinely. "she died a day before my birthday, and she sent me a voicemail you know, before her death. Wait i will play it..." saying that she took out the phone from her back pocket, she had the phone! Anyway wouldn't matter, because outside my room there is a big fat signal jammer, so thought people couldn't track me.

"Oh, i had the phone, call someone up, so that we can get out?" she said handing me the phone, tell her about the jammer, and she decides to play the voicemail for me. 

Voicemail.

"Hey bitch!! I know tomorrow is your birthday, and i am really sorry, that i am not able to visit you this time, but guess what?? Guess where am i? I am on a fucking FERRY BOAT!!! I know you have a thing for them, god i wish you were here. Remember how we used to sneak in ferry boat rides back at our place, when we were young?? Anyway i am on my way to get you a perfect gift, which will obviously not arrive on your birthday, because i am here and you are in india, I wish i could spend the rest of the years birthday's with you bish!! But to be honest, from morning i feel like something is going to happen, but i guess everything will be fine. Anywayyy,my stop is here trust me you are going to love the gift. Au revoir domina!!"

VANSH'S POV;

"She would have been alive, if it wasn't for my birthday, she was supposed to stay home, i called her earlier and scolded her for not coming, her death is on me" I know this part, kind of familiar with it. I have blamed myself for countless deaths. I wish i could say something that would calm her. BUT WHAT? People have never opened upto me this way.

I glance at her, to see her wiping her tears soon later she kept her phone on the table. "Why did you suddenly remember this? A while ago you were fine?" probably shouldn't have been the first thing after what she said, but too late to take it back. "She had this weird software, that sends a message everywhere at the same time, she mistakenly did that for this message, since past 2 years before my birthday this message pops up" which means that tomorrow is her birthday.

"Does it feel good now?" i ask her and continue. "To say that out loud? To say something that you have been carrying around? I for a fact know that you didn't say it to anyone till now?" i ask her. "I didn't" she slowly leans on my shoulder. "I didn't want it to be real, i thought if maybe i could hold it in, then i don't know i thought it would make the pain lesser." "did it?" i ask her like a whisper. "It didn't" she said and a tear drop fell on my hand.
