"Are you happy with this marriage Aaratrika...." "No Ishanvi... I feel shattered...." "What about Rahul Aaratrika...." "He is in the hospital.... " "WHAT!!" "yeah.. you heard me right..." "What happened... you didn't tell me anything Aaratrika..." "He met with an accident and was admitted to this hospital... I am treating him... and he is fine now..." "Did you tell him regarding your love... by the way did he know that you were treating him...." "No.. Ishanvi I didn't... it was so hard till day... and today he started showing some improvement... how do you think I well tell him..." "OK Aaratrika I wish you could tell him about your love..." " But it's too late... I well be engaged in two days.. and I even don't know if he is single or not..." "But at least try telling him Aaratrika... I think this would be your last chance to meet him...." " Yeah Ishanvi... I well do that..." "Heyy...Aaratrika....wohh...Ishanvi when did you come here..." "Aditya you know I am coming... stop your oscar winning act..." "Aha...Aditya, why didn't you tell me that... Ishanvi was coming..." "As if you are telling everything to us... you became so secretive... We thought to surprise you..." "hmm...fiinneeee... I am surprised..."
"Ishanvi and Aditya both were good buddies...both had a crush on each other but never confessed...but one day it did happen... not only Aditya even Shiva liked Ishanvi soo much that he wouldn't mind leaving anything for her.... Ishanvi was so confused what to do next.... Every time Ishanvi hung with Shiva... Aditya use to feel so jealous of it...but never said anything about it... One day we went to a trip... as it was a last year for them... so Shiva wanted to spend time with us...so we went to the trip... it was a amazing trip... but was also an tragic one... that trip changed everyone's perspective... It was a five day trip... Me, Ishanvi, Aditya, Shiva, Rahul and some other students came over... we went to different places and had fun... one fine evening we all went to the seashore where everyone was chilling.... I was so tired that I sat down and enjoyed the sunset with my favorite songs... I saw Rahul there... My heart skipped a beat as I saw him.... He was so handsome... as he was walking down the shore... I kept staring at him... after a while Shiva came to me... we had a casual talk for some time then I asked him about Rahul... He was surprised as in these many years nobody asked about Rahul... still he didn't mind telling about Rahul... "Look Aaratrika... first thing is... he is a very good guy... though he drinks and smokes... it is because of his past... though it's been many years he isn't able to overcome it.... He's father is a big businessman... he is the only son... when he was a kid he used to love his mom so much that... whatever happened in the school, park etc he used to go and tell her everything.. since his father use to be abroad... his mother became everything for him... you know what... one day his mother left him for an hour and went to the temple... he got so scared that... he got fever which resulted of his absent to the school next day... and once his mother went to neighbour's house... he followed her in so much concern that he forgot to put on his pants... There used to be a girl in our school... he used to like her so much... and they were neighbors.... that girl used to come to his house.. they used to play together and go together... with our age their friendship has grown into love.... he was 15yrs old when this incident happened... One day his mother, the girl and their mother went to the temple that was the last time he had seen them... a major accident took place and everyone was spot dead... he went into depression... The worst part was he wasn't so used to his father and every day they had quarrels... later he wanted to be independent and came out of his house.. still being the only son... his father never married another woman and still looks after him... and when he reached engineering he started all these things... but one thing is he respects every woman no matter what... By the way, in the past few days he has decreased his alcohol consumption. I don't know why....And...Aaratrika... " "heyy Shiva.... Shiva... come here... I think I need to go... chat with you later...." "yeah sure Shiva".... This guy is something different... the more I get to know about him... the more I fall for him... crazy fellow... It was the last day of the trip... the next morning we will be heading back... so we had prepared a campfire and with a soft music... we all had a good chat... played games... and had fun... but Shiva was boozing... me, Ishanvi , Rahul and Shiva were left near the campfire... Ishanvi left as she had plans with Aditya... after sometime I left the place and went back to my room... after a while there was a knock on my door... when I opened it... I saw Shiva... he pushed me to the wall and started telling me how much he loves me i.e Ishanvi... he thought I was Ishanvi and started telling everything... after telling he started molesting me... I tried so hard to escape from him... due to his masculine body... I wasn't able to escape him... after doing all the things I gave up... that's when someone hit him on his head... it was Rahul... he beat him so hard... that he wasn't able to get up.... after that night I never saw Rahul and Shiva again...that was the last time I have seen them... not even in the college...literally nowhere... I even asked many people in my college but no one had any idea about them....
"Aaratrika... you know what... you won't believe whom I saw..." "What happened Ishanvi... go off from hear and don't waste my time..." "Aaratrika I am serious... I have seen Shiva in the hospital..." "What the heck.... are you kidding me..." "Heyy Aaratrika.... so this is Aaratrika... who treated our Rahul...and this is Rahul's father..." " He..l..l..o... uncle...." "I think you are surprised by seeing him..." "No uncle...please sit down.... Ishanvi let's talk later..." "Hii !! I am Shiva... Rahul's friend..." "yeah, hi Shiva... please sit down..." "Thank you Aaratrika for saving my son... I have no words to thank you.... I wasn't able to give my son anything which he needed... but he was there with me every time... One day I suffered from a cardiac arrest and he was on a trip... he came to see me without caring anything... he even left his education because of me... I am so proud I had the greatest son... but I am not a good father... he is like his mother... always cared about me and him... but never thought about herself..." "It's ok uncle... Please don't feel sad... I understand... you can see your son now... he would be happy... please don't be emotional... he might not like it..." " yeah Aaratrika... once again thank you so much..."
