It had been a week since their fight. They both had anger filled in them. They had love in them too. But, they both were too much egoistic to agree the fact that they missed each other.
Rachi knocked on Saavi's door. Saavi opened it. Her eyes were a bit red. But, Rachi could make out she tried a lot to show that she didn't cry. Rachi noticed that she was wearing the same T-shirt she wore yesterday just inside out.
"Saavi you are wearing the same T-shirt? " Rachi said. She could have been sassy and said "Oh! So, now you can't even see that the T-shirt is inside out" but, she knew what happened had taken toll on Saavi. This wasn't the time to sass.
"It saves time and water" she said and went away. Leaving, Rachi wondering when did Saavi started caring about water and time. But, she shrugged. Saavi was crazy. She thought.
They all settled down on the breakfast table. There was awkward tension in the air. No one said anything everyone just gulped there food silently. Suddenly Saavi stood up
"Shit. Sarita Aunty has to take medicine before lun---" sudden realization dawned upon her. They broke up. Satya can take care of his mother. She is nothing but a stranger now. She slumped down on her seat and painfully gobbled the food while sniffling and taking uneven breaths. She took a deep breath to calm herself.
"Saavi. OK? " her father asked her. She nodded at him. She picked up her sling bag and walked towards gate when Rachi stopped her.
"Saavi. Your jiju will give you a ride on his bike"
"No. I'll walk" she said blankly.
"Are you sure? "
"Yeah"
Rachi was shocked from the way Saavi was behaving. She couldn't ever imagine Saavi like this. In past she would just shrug off the break ups cursing the guy and swearing to "Fuck feelings"
But, the way she was behaving gave Rachi a clear picture of what this relationship meant for Saavi. Saavi wasn't a person who's get attached easily. It was difficult for her to catch feelings. It meant that she really did fell in love with Satya. Rachi sighed. She also knows that Saavi will never ever keep her ego and her love for animals aside. She wished that either Saavi would accept the reality or else move on.

Here, Satya was sitting on the dinning table. His grandma and mother were chatting trying to distract him. But, all he could think of was her. Them. Their fights. But, even in there fights he was smiling.
"Satya, Your favorite Biryani"
"No, I don't want it"
"What? Are you sure? Your grandmother made it"
"No. I am sure" he said drinking his tea and having bread butter. Not even glancing at Biryani.
Why? Why that day happened? He was going to propose her then how did they end up like this. It had been a week he couldn't sleep. He couldn't think straight. His boss would be scolding him and yet he would be thinking about her. He washed his own dish and rushed to the land-line.
"Maa, I need to call Saavi's parents and tell them about her well being. Idiot Saavi must have for---" He stopped mid-sentence.
There was no Saavi! There was need to call her parents. They already know how she is. He is the one who doesn't know how she is, Was she okay? Did she hate him now?
He hated how much he loved her yet she wasn't here with him. Because? Because of a stupid fight. If she was angry. He could have maintained his temper. He should have left her hand when she said to do so.
Satya walked out of his bungalow and laid with his head leaning on the coconut tree. All he did now-a-days was to over think. He loved her but he hated her. He was angry. He wanted her to apologize and he would melt. But, his ego was too big for him to apologize.
He closed his eyes. Thinking about her again. There was a slight nudge on his leg and he saw a puppy nuzzling it's snout in his legs. Instead of getting scared. He hesitantly reached out and pet his head. The puppy woofed and nuzzled in him more.
"You know buddy I would hate you if it wasn't for her. You know who is her? It's Saavi. She is a vet. She is the best girl. She such an angel but when I remember about how miserable she has made me, I kinda wish she were dead"
(She's such an angel
But again kinda wish she were dead
HEATHER - Conan Grey)
"But, you know that's a lie too. I could do anything for her to be alive. I am so weird, right? You wouldn't know buddy. What love does! You won't know. You are lucky"
He took the puppy in his hand with a sad smile on his face and went in. His family was shocked to see him this way. But, again. Satya, was someone who'd go to any extent for their loved ones.

Saavi rushed and turned the tap off turning towards Rachi she glared at her.
"Do you know the importance of this water? Do you know how many people are desperate for this amount of water? "
But, suddenly her eyes soften. She sounded just like Satya. She closed her eyes.
"Saavi? Baby? What happened to you? This...is not you"
"Exactly di! This is not me! This water, walking, clothes, AC, this is not me. What has he done to me Di? I am not this. This is not me, Di"
"Saavi, it's ok. You have to accept that you miss him because you....love him. You love him Saavi! "
"No! Di! How can I fall for him? No we are impossible Di. We are different. I don't want to spend my whole life fighting and get divorced at last. He eats meat Di! He eats meat! I..I can't love...him. No! "
"What are you talking about Saavi. Listen now? You don't want him to eat meat because you don't want him to take a life of a living. But, doesn't plants come under living? That way don't you do the same and even if you say that you love animals. Tell me, Saavi? Doesn't cat eats mice? Doesn't dog feed on meat? You still love them? Then, why not Satya baby? Why not Satya? "
"No. Di! These feelings! F*ck them. I had gotten a letter to move in to Mumbai for a job. I didn't reply. But, I am replying now. I am leaving for interview in Mumbai tomorrow. I will come back after 3-4 years. These feelings...they'll go away. I do.. n't l.. l.. o.. ve....him"
"How much will you lie Saavi? How much? You miss those sparks! You miss him"
"I will go away tomorrow "
---
Here, after Saavi shut the door of her room. Rachi tried calling Satya but he didn't pick up. Because, he thought she was again going to say that Saavi didn't mean those things and that she missed him.
He wished what Rachi said was truth but he wanted Saavi to say this. It was enough. He was stubborn this time. It had to be Saavi. Only her.
---
He was awakened at 7 in the morning by the ring of his phone. He rubbed his eyes and picked up the call without seeing the caller id.
"You f*cking bitch! I called you fucking 50 times. Saavi is leaving for Mumbai. She won't come back for 4 years. Think about it, it's your last chance Satya! If you go right now. Maybe you can still reach her" with a huff Rachi hung up and fell asleep. All night she was trying to call him. But, he didn't pick up cause it was on silent. Which automatically goes off from silent mode in morning.
His earth shattered in front of him. He couldn't let her go. No! F*ck his ego. He got dressed as fast as possible and ran.
