Time doesn't stop for anyone, nor did it stop for him or her , the upcoming months that Mumbai  witnessed Naina Roy was a totally different girl , she didn't laugh , she didn't giggle, she no longer throw tantrums, she changed,

"Naina!! Naina where are you ." Shruti shouted entering inside the Apartment, she opened the door of Naina room which used to be his, and saw her reading a book.

Temper rised in Shruti, she went to her and snatched the book from her hand startling Naina," what the... Shruti ." Naina said startled.

Shruti glared at her," what are you doing Naina from the time you have come here you have completely detached yourself from the world, you always shut your yourself in your room , or studying, or writing like you are a 70 years old.." Shruti told her in anger, she couldn't see her like this not after knowing how she really is , this isn't Naina.

Naina sighed took the book from Shruti and sat back in the bed ," what do you want me to Shruti." She asked without looking up.

"Live enjoy." Shruti said in duh voice like it was the most stupid thing.

"I m living Shruti , if not then I wouldn't have been here with you." Naina said,

"Wrong this is not living, you are not living Naina you just...
Surviving." Shruti told her.

Naina paused , it was true she was not living, she was just surviving, living is enjoying every bit of your life smallest to biggest, and Naina she was just surviving, there was no enthusiasm in her life , no excitement, no boredom it was just plan the only reason for her to keep going was her parents and his dream of her become successful, she was just repeating the cyclone of routine she made for herself, wake , breakfast, college, home , books , dinner, sleep.

"Naina common yaar this cannot go on ," she said paused and turned her voice soft ," it's been months Naina, you have to move on , he wouldn't like this." Shruti said, she might not know his importance in her life but she was the witness of their blooming love .

Naina stifened, his name alone was to turn her whole body cold , there was a time his name alone was light up her whole world but now it only brought the darkness of hunting pain." I m moving on Shruti , I don't know what will make you believe that but I prefer to enjoy my own company, rather than wasting my time on some random strangers." Naina snapped and left the room.

She took her mobile and wallet and left from the apartment, as she exited the building two drops of tears escaped her eye which she roughly wiped , she catched a bus and got inside it , as she sat on a window sit she looked out of the window, she knows she overreacted with Shruti and for that she was ready apologize but couldn't people understand a bit was it Soo hard to see her trying, she was not some robot who will change overnight , she was a human a broken one to be exact there was only a certain limit till she can she push herself, she smiled at people doesn't matter if it was fake or real , she talked with them , going to college everyday , working hard for her future, couldn't people see that couldn't they see her pain , she faced the biggest lose of her life, she is living in the same city , same place where in each and every corner has his memories, couldn't they see her vulnerability was she becoming that much of a good actor.
