"I know that something has changed
Never felt this way and right here tonight
This could be the start of something new
It feels so right to be here with you"

  📌 Defence Academy, Bangalore

Kabir took a deep breath,as he ended the call from Rahul standing outside Anaya 's door.

He was here to apologise....not for the things Aarzoo said but for the things he did.

It wasn't Anaya who was leaking the information,it wasn't her.

He knocked on the door as it swung open.

He got inside,as he called out her name.

He heard nothing except the December wind and insects buzzing as he closed the door.

"Anaya?"

He heard the sound of water running,he checked his phone.

3.33 am

He walked towards the sound as he knocked on the room's door.

The open door,water running at 3.30 am and noone answering,he have called her more than twenty times and yet she didn't answer.

"Anaya?"a little louder this time.

He opened the door when noone answered,he could make out the shape of bed in the dark room and then his eyes went over the transclucent window pane looking thing.

He have seen those in movies,the wardrobe doors.

He knocked on it again, something was so weird about everything.

He wasn't even sure if he should be there,he knocked on the door loudly this time.

"Anaya,are you okay?"

"No, I'm not"she shouted back.

"Anaya?"

She opened the door.

Her clothes were drenched in water from head to toe,she didn't look up just stood there looking down.

"Don't go, Agastya"she said clutching the fabric on his chest in a voice,he have never heard.

So weak,so not her,she placed her hands on his shoulder, steadying herself.

She can never get his name right,it was Kabir.

"I wasn't there, Agastaya"she whispered as the water from her clothes seeped into his, cold as ice.

He looked at Anaya,her shivering figure as he turned off the shower, still running behind her and she kept mumbling.

"She died and I wasn't there"Anaya continued weakly as he tried to make sense out of the situation.

He grabbed her shoulders to pull her away,she was burning.

"She died and I wasn't there, Agastaya"and with that she fell unconscious as he snaked his hand around her waist steadying her.
