Lost Love

Call

It take courage to love, but pain through love is the purifying fire which those who love generously know. We all know people who are so much afraid of paun that they shut themselves up like calm in a shell and giving out nothing, receiving nothing and therefore shrink untile life is a mere living death.

Drishti uttered a simple word. "Hello..." That mere word was enough his breath hitch on his throat. He was hearing the voice after so long.

"Drishti..." Rakshit whispered from this side.

Rakshit's condition was no different when she heard Rakshit's voice . She has been waiting for the call since the time she has called Shekhar. Tears welled up in her eyes, she couldn't believe that Rakshit had called her.

"Rakshit...." A whisper came out from Drishti.

For a minute, both of them were just holding the phone but no words were exchanged. They let their silence speak on behalf of them. They didn't know what to say after so long. Tears were continuously falling from Drishti's eyes and Rakshit could hear her ragging breath . They were just trying soak that they are together even though both of them were in two different parts of the world.

Drishti wiped her tears and decided to break the silence between them.

"Congratulations, hero . You have finally got the hold of your dream" she smiled in between her tears.

A smile formed on Rakshit face too. "Thank you sunshine. You are also one of the reason, I am here today" Rakshit let out a breath. "You didn't ask me how was my match?"

Drishti felt little bad that his debut match was already done and she missed it. She wanted to watch it . She wiped the thought from her mind and said "How was it? I am asking even though I am sure , you must have done really well after all you are the hero" She Chuckled at the end.

Rakshit too chuckled hearing her "I had to give my best . Our life depends on this. U have got this opportunity after so much struggle and I couldn't afford to lost it. I have to make my place here . For us" His voice was determined.

Drishti leaned her back to the bed and her eyes for while. He is trying so hard for them. "If we are destined to be together, then no one will be able to separate us . And if we aren't....."

Drishti couldn't complete her words before that only, Rakshit stopped her "We are destined to be, Drishti. Only I am your destiny. I am on the way of fulfilling my dream and this will help me to fulfill my other dream as well".

"How's your college? Did you make new friends?" He asked trying to sound cheerful.
Drishti knew why Rakshit asked this. As he wanted, she didn't talk about it anymore.

She replied to what he had asked "it's good. Everyone is nice here Actually very nice. They are quite helpful . I have make some friend too".

Rakshit heard her carefully "That's good".

"How long you will be there in England" Drishti asked .

"I will probably go back after 3 months . yes, I forgot to tell you something" Rakshit said last line excitedly.

"What?"

Rakshit leaned his shoulder to the glass of the booth. "I will come to meet you before I go to India".

"What?. Really?" She had almost shouted in excitement. She controlled her voice with a great difficulty so that no one could hear her, even though she had locked her room too .

Rakshit chuckled from the otherside.

"but how will you come, what would you tell your family and team?" Drishti asked in low tone.
