Dev Khurrana

I was standing before the glass wall when someone barged in my cabin.
"Dev, don't tell me you've still not stopped your search engine for Anushka?" Jay asked frustrated.

Jay Grover..!

My best friend.
Ofcourse! He would be frustrated. This search engine for Anushka is going on since 2 years and I couldn't even find a trace of her. It was as if she vanished from this planet.

Ignoring him I just sat on my chair and opened my laptop.
"Are you here in the morning itself to lecture me about it?"
I asked irritated.

I already had a lot on my plate the last thing I needed was him irritating me in the morning itself.
"You know that you're engaged,right?" He asked and I looked at him.

"Do you see a ring on my finger?" I asked showing him my ring finger.
Yess! I was engaged after she ran away
because mom did not want me spend my whole life without a partner.

Partner..!
It bought a lot of bittersweet memories to me.
I cancelled the engagement after a few months knowing very well that she wasn't the one for me.

I really believe that everyone has their the one..!
I just have to find mine.

But before that, I have to find Anushka.
Not because I wanted her back. But because I wanted answers.
Answers to all the questions which I never got to ask her.

Ohhh! As if that is the only reason you want to find her!

"Dev. Why are you behaving like this? You've always been a mature, sensible man. Why losing your cool over a girl who ran away?" He said frustrated.

"Why losing my cool? She was my wife damn it! I am supposed to know where the hell did she runaway to and why did she do it? I just need to know her reasons, that's it!" I said banging my hand on the table agressively.

Yeah! That's it.
As if you're not going to take her in your arms the minute you see her.

But yeah!
You just need to know the reasons that's it!

"This is your ego speaking. She wrote in the message clearly that she did not want to be found by you. That she wanted her freedom. She was trapped in the marriage. Why not let her be? Just move on with your life buddy." Jay said keeping his hand on my shoulder and I sighed.

Am I doing wrong?

Our's was neither a love marriage nor an arranged one. It was just a compromised marriage. Marriage which took place because of my late grandfather's wish.

A wish which did cost me my peace!

I haven't slept for all these years knowing that she just left, like that.

Was I that bad?

Though we did not share a husband wife bond but we decided to start off as friends and we were getting to it.
Everything was just going fine and I would be lying If I say that I didn't like her.

I liked her..A lot!

I was just never too vocal about it.
Was that where I went wrong?
