Lost Love

Is he okay

"You've gotta dance like there's nobody watching,
Love like you'll never be hurt,
Sing like there's nobody listening,
And live like it's heaven on earth."

You will never know the power of yourself until something hurts you badly. It doesn't matter what hurt you, or broke you down, what matters is what made you smile again. Being hurt is like having your heart twisted and torn and wrung, but not ruined. Bad things are always going to happen in life. But you can't use that as an excuse to give up on what you were doing. Experiencing pain is part of being human. From scraped knees to our first heartbreak, being hurt is unpleasant, but unavoidable. The pain of yesterday is the strength of today. The worst loss you've ever experienced is the greatest gift you can have. Even situations that appear to be obstacles are actually opportunities detours in the right direction. The moment you accept what troubles you've been given, the door will open.

Drishti was in her room getting all restless. She was not able to sleep nor she was about to sit in one place peacefully. She didn't know what to do. She was trying to call Priya but even she was not picking up the call. Rakshit's phone is still switched off. She felt her heart is beating in a faster speed than usual. She was praying that Rakshit should be okay.
She didn't know what she should do in this situation. She just wanted to run to Rakshit and take him in her arms so that he can never go missing like this. She was continuously praying in mind Rakshit should be okay wherever he is.

Drishti was awake whole night. Not for once she closed her eyes. Whenever she did, Rakshit's face flashed in front of her eyes and her sleep flew away. She tried to contact with Priya to know about Rakshit but she was also unreachable. The only option she had is to wait for morning and meet Priya or Shekhar in the school. Then she would get to know about Rakshit.

So, in the morning, when she saw the time, she freshened up hurriedly. She can't wait to go to school and see Rakshit. She was restless the whole night. She has got dark circles under her eyes due to the lack of sleep and all the worry of last night. When she went down, her mother greeted her.
Drishti also wished her mother with a fake smile on her face. She didn't want anyone to have any doubt on her. It won't be good for her. She tried to behave normally but from inside she was nervous, worried and what not. At that moment, she just wanted to run to school. She never felt this urge to go somewhere or the urge of someone being okay.

"Drishti, did not you sleep at night?" Vidya asked suspeciously seeing her face.

Drishti's eyes went wide hearing her. She looked up towards her mother with a jerk.

She was not at all expecting this. "Wh... Why are you asking this?" Drishti stammered at her words.

"You have got dark circles, Drishti. That was not there last night. Then?" She asked seriously.

Drishti thought for a while. "Mom, actually I have an exam today, so I was awake till late to study that. The exam is really important. May be it's for that only." She replied.
Vidya frowned hearing her.

"Didn't you tell last night that you have already completed all your studies? Then how did this exam come from?" she asked looking at her suspiciously.

Drishti gulped down her saliva slapping herself in mind. "Actually my friend, Priya, she called me last night to ask for some lesson. Then I remembered about the exam. I forgot about it before. If I had remembered, then I wouldn't have to be awake till late." She tried to cover it up. She was praying that her mother believes her. She didn't know what she will do, if her mother does not buy this.
Her mother simply nodded her head. Drishti sighed in relief.
