Aarohi:

"Ok I'm ready if that's what you want" I was actually not ready to go to a psychiatrist for checkup as I knew I was totally fine. I knew that all of the things that happened wasn't some kind of illusion. But it seemed like the two people closest to me didn't trust me enough to believe me. And now I had no way to prove to them that I was stating the truth. But since those two people had done enough for me , I was ready to be called a mentally unstable person.

"We promise it won't be hurtful. We just have to pay a visit to the psychiatrist and she'll analyse what's going on. We won't even admit you if not necessary. And we won't do it here in the country so that rumours won't spread." I kept listening quietly as Uncle explained me everything I probably wasn't interested in.

"So be ready for tomorrow. We will leave for London at sharp 8am." We were still sitting in my drawing room when Uncle was still telling something about the psychiatrist and the treatment when my door bell rang.

Vivek stood up and got to the door to open it.

We turned around to see when neither Vivek nor any sound came back from the door.

We saw Vivek standing still, holding the door. We stood up as I asked "who's it Vivek?"

When there was no reply, both Uncle and I stepped forward to look who was at the door...and as soon as we saw the face , we gasped.

Now we were all standing motionless like everything felt frozen.  We were not only surprised but flabbergasted on seeing the person on the other side of the door who was RAHUL.

I couldn't believe my eyes. I pinched myself to check if I wasn't actually hallucinating. I looked at uncle and he looked startled as well.

Rahul stood there smiling, his hands in pockets but he obviously looked nervous. He looked like the old Rahul in well maintained attire. His light beard, black shirt with blue denim jeans and messy hair gave him the look of his oldself. He didn't look like an indigenous person as he looked yesterday.

"Rahul?" Sehgal uncle spoke softly breaking the long spread silence.

"Yes uncle. Its..me" Rahul replied with a faint smile on his lips.

Vivek who seemed to have lost his consciousness on the door finally moved and let Rahul come in."

I couldn't decipher the scene infront of me. Rahul was actually standing in my house.

Rahul came inside and Sehgal uncle walked to him slowly. He looked at him thoroughly as if confirming if he's actually Rahul. He then hugged him tightly and Rahul did the same. They held their position for a long time then pulled away slowly. Rahul was smiling with tears in his eyes but as soon as he proceeded to say something, a tight slap was plastered on his face with a loud noise. I gasped as I covered my mouth.

"How dare you?" Vivek stood beside Rahul staring at him agitatedly.  Before we could take any other step Vivek held him by his collar and exclaimed "how dare you show up after all these years...when...when we had convinced ourselves that you were..dead!?"

Rahul stood quietly staring at the ground. "Where the hell have you been? Aren't you ashamed of doing this to us?" Vivek kept questioning him with harsh words but those words conveyed his hurted emotions.

We were absolutely feeling hurt, played and cheated.

"Its still ok that you forgot us. But what about her?" He pointed towards me. "Don't you think you should be sorry towards her? You practically cheated her. For three freaking years. She was depressed all this time. She blamed herself for your death dammit. And there you are..living your life..leaving us mourning behind you"

I wasn't alone hurting after him. All these people who've been close to him have been crying for him. They were all just too good in hiding their tears and I was not.

Rahul was now staring at me with guilty eyes. I couldn't think of talking anything to him so I just turned my back to him.

"Aarohi" that voice. It sent shivers through my spine when I heard it after 3 years. But I still didn't face him. Without thinking anything else I went to my room and locked myself.

"Aarohi please open the door" I could hear Rahul's soft voice from the other side of the door. I was resisting the urge to open it and embrace him tightly but the memories of yesterday forbid me to do so.

There was complete silence after a moment. But I could still feel Rahul standing by the door.

"I am sorry" he spoke.
"I am sorry I betrayed you. I know I'm a loser. I don't even deserve you. You're too good for me." He continued speaking "These were the thoughts that pushed me to suicide. I attempted to kill myself because I wanted you to live YOUR life. You're not the one to blame. I am the criminal here. I was the coward. I couldn't fight the tantrums of people. I couldn't tell them that you are responsible for the success you've achieved. I couldn't shut them up when they said I was using you. Instead I decided to shut myself up." Tears were rolling down my cheeks uncontrollably. I wanted him to stop blaming himself but I didn't want to face him. I wasn't ready yet.

"But I'm not the loser because I lost against them. I am a loser because I lost you. My fate gave me the second chance to sort everything. This is how lucky I am because you exist in my life. But look what an idiot I am. I turned my back to you when you came to me yourself. I am stupid.
But Aarohi, I am here. I came back to you. I can't run away from you anymore. I want to live with you now. I know I don't even deserve to say this..but what to do? I once again fell in love with you yesterday. I know I'm an idiot but can you please give me a second chance?"
