ANKIT POV

i was in America when i received a call from Nikhil regarding a project on which he really wanted me to work

ankit - nikhil...how are you? kaise yaad kiya

nikhil - everything good brother...ek naya project aya hai,and I think you are the best for this one

ankit - nahi yaar...i don't think abh ho payega,I already have a project here and I can't take one more

nikhil- listen tu itna jaldi decide mat kar..I'll mail you the details and the team you'll be working with
ek baar dekh toh lae...there is a new member who has joined and I think you both working together can rock this one

ankit - I don't know...kya work experience uska ?

nikhil - abh toh its just 1 month since she joined us...but why are you going on experience
ek baar uska kaam dekh and you'll get to know her potential,or agar terko phir bhi theek na lage...you are free to step back

ankit - now that you are praising her so much,I am curious who she is....naam kya hai uska ?

nikhil - priyanka...

'Priyanka' this name always has a special effect on me
i was curious to know if she was the same person whom i was thinking about

nikhil- ankit...ANKIT

ankit- han...bol

nikhil- kaha kho gay?will you give it a try ?

ankit - nikhil...tu ek kaam kar send me the details of the file and the team...i'll text you after thinking of it

nikhil - that's my boy....just give me 5 min,i'll mail you everything..take care bye

ankit - bye

I cut the call and remembered our last meeting...the time i spent with her was the best,no one can replace the position she has in my heart..honestly speaking I regret acting childish that day, but due to the problems I have seen,I no longer believed in love...
my father and mother did love marriage against their family,like normal families they also had fights which used to get resolved within 4-5 hours
but time by time these things were no longer normal
seeing them raising hands at each other, asking for a divorce, constantly shouting and locking me in my room when all this used to happen really disturbed me

I can never forget that day....in my whole life 
I was in class 5 when my bus stopped in front of the gate and the helper aunty took me to my home....i could hear the shouting and things breaking from outside and so did aunty....she decided to open the door and  saw dad stuffing sleeping pills in my moms mouth....aunty ran and tried to stop him but he kept on  till  mom stopped protesting and went still
I was numb....i was just standing there like my feet were glued to the ground
i wasn't able to move them.... my eyes looking at mother lying down on the cold ground with foam coming out of her mouth
Police case was done....my father had life in prisonment  due to some past deeds as well
I just wanted to escape from there,just wanted to run without any destination....but thankfully i decided to shift to my grandmother's home when i was 13
Even after all this, i was still happy that I was blessed to have a friend like Priyanka
she was just like my safety pin...no matter how mad I used to go,just one touch of her and everything used to get fine

She didn't know much about what i faced i only told her some part of my story,didn't wanted her to see me with eyes filled with sympathy

When she confessed her feelings to me
I was angry,shocked and sad about
why in all people did she choose me? she deserves all the happiness in the world and i can't give her that,i am just a broken soul who can never be happy, how can I give happiness to another person and that to the one whom I can never see sad
she'll only get pain if she is attached to me and she doesn't deserve all that pain
neither do i deserve her love
it was better for her to leave me than to love me
