Chapter 28

"Where is Inaya, Armaan?" Manogya asked Armaan, who was now being drowned in his own guilt. He did misunderstand Inaya to an extent.
His mind was crowded with the flashes of her teary face and the echoes of whatever he said to her.

"Armaan, are you listening to what I am saying? And come inside, have you been standing in rain or what?" Manogya said looking at his current condition, he was soaked from head to toe.

"I--Inaya, she must be in the rain too..." He answered irrelevant to Manogya's question.

"What? Why? What are you talking about?"

"I..." He told her how he misunderstood Inaya.

"You thought... She... You are unbelievable, Inaya was with Soobin because he was preparing a proposal for me and he wanted it to be perfect, this is why he was taking Inaya's since there's no one else who knows me better than her!" She yelled at him, slapping him in process.

He just stood there numb.

"Where she must be now? Look at the weather, man-you couldn't stop her or just stop your sword like words? You really thought that she found someone else for herself, that too Soobin? She... She cannot be sure about herself when she loves you so much and you thought she can choose anyone else-- I don't know what to say to you..."

"You don't need to, I'm going to look for her..."

"Aree Armaan, is this a joke? Where will you look for her? And the news said that the weather--" Armaan turned and ran away to his car.

On the otherside, Inaya opened the door and walked in.

Reaching inside, she looked around, it was same place where Inaya used to live before marrying Armaan.

She looked around, they had spent a lot of time at that place. On the same sette, Armaan and Inaya used to sit. He used to sing to her, she used to read to him.

She suspired, blinking to let the tears go and went to the terrace, the same where she and Armaan had made a lot of memories. She stood there, the rain again came pouring down on her but she didn't move and just stood there.

Every word of Armaan was a knife at her broken-mended heart.

"It's like I'm meant to be broken."
-

Armaan sat back in his car as he tried to think where she can go.
The weather was just getting worse minute by minute and he was worried about her wellbeing more than anything else.
He called Inaya mother's thinking she might have gone there but she wasn't there too.

"Can she--" he said to himself, "she'll definitely be there."

Saying this, he started the car.

He reached the place and unlocked the door, of course he had the spare keys, there was nothing about Inaya that he was unknown to.

Walking in, he saw that floor was wet and looking around he saw Inaya's specs on the table (she must have taken them off), then he was very quickly determined to follow the trail.

There was Inaya, standing in the middle of the terrace, just being soaked in the drizzling rain.

As she heard the door open, she turned and saw Armaan. If Inaya was drenched and downhearted, He was in no better condition too.

"Why have you come here now?" She asked, the scene was very similar to the one when Inaya was in Dehradun and he came to her. At that time he was there to make her believe that he can stay and he would stay... And presently too, the scenarios were exactly same... But this time, both of their hearts were breaking,
