Baarishein ~ AbhiraxNeirohi

part 3

A diary, a little diary with an abstract pattern as it wallpaper was what Neil found

He caressed it gently with his rough hands and smiled sadly, slowly opening it he took a shaky breath followed by a sad chuckle as he read aloud to himself the words that were written on the first page

"This diary rightfully belongs to Aarohi Goenka and she would definitely not love it if you would read it further, it would be an unwanted invasion in her privacy so better drop the idea of going further else you'll be dammed for it"

He could easily visualize her speaking the threat aloud to him but sadly now she wasn't there, she wasn't there to scold him, to fight with him and to love him

Taking a seat on the edge of the bed, he turned the other page and smiled as he saw a childhood pic of Aarohi who was smiling widely while holding a soft toy in her embrace and read the words to himself

" Meet Oreo, my best buddy and my only family till now, sadly all my friends have their mom and dad to support them but i am all alone, i am a little jealous of them to be honest but i even know that my mom and dad are still watching me from the sky above and they would definitely not love to see their beautiful daughter looking ugly when she's sad"

He chuckled. At the end of the day the Great Aarohi Goenka couldn't help but just be a self obsessed human however hard or disheartening the condition may be .

He mindlessly surfed through the diary and stopped at a particular page where there was a picture of 21 years old young Aarohi with him and his brother Abhimanyu

He clearly remembered that it was the first time that he had met her. He smiled and kissed her in picture.

"Aarohi Goenka has always been number one but she lost her first position to this man standing next to her, Abhimanyu Birla. If it would have been some other person i would have been definitely mad at him Or her but as it's him let's just forget it. Okay so the thing is that he's the most Handsome man that i have ever met, I mean just look at him, isn't he all perfect and I have developed a tiny miny crush on him, let's just accept not a tiny miny crush but a whole mountain size crush. To conclude it's just that I Love Abhimanyu Birla"

The smile on Neil's face disappeared in a flash as he read the words written alongside the picture, a lone tear trailed down and he lost the grip on the diary making it fall down

Was it that? Was it all fake? Is it the reason that Aarohi chose to die - Was this meaningless marriage with him bothering her so much that she couldn't take it anymore and choose death. It means she never loved him, her all love was meant for his brother Abhimanyu and he, he was nothing but just a intruder in her happy life and she was just pretending, it was all an act of pretence

The thoughts stormed his mind out of no where, to say it was truth that the news of Aarohi's death didn't hurt him to that extent as it was hurting him right now

He fell down, tears streaming now like a river and then with a lot courage picked up the little diary again to only check that maybe he read her words wrong, maybe it was Neil Birla and he misread it as Abhimanyu Birla

He looked again with a blurred vision and ran his finger on the bolted words, it was Abhimanyu not him, he chuckled with an emptiness in his voice

Turning the next few pages all that he saw was the pictures of his brother filled on each and every page and on them boldly written on them I Love You

" He is my happiness" he read the words written by Aarohi on randomly stopping on a page

Neil closed his eyes tightly, he so badly wanted to forget all things he read in these thirty minutes, he wanted to forget that he ever saw the secret diary of Aarohi , he wanted to forget that the girl he loved didn't love him back but sadly he couldn't as each and every thing was imprinted in his mind with an ever lasting expression

He couldn't forget the fact that Aarohi always loved Abhimanyu and not him. He cried out in anguish, in pain and in regret

It was all fake, his thoughts stopped at this thought, yes it was all fake, Aarohi never loved him, her smile was fake, her care was fake infact their whole damn relationship was fake, their marriage was nothing but just a prison for her

He realised it, slowly opening his moist eyes, he took out a picture of Aarohi from the diary and closed it forever, again caressing it gently, he kept it inside the suitcase where he kept other belongings of Aarohi and locked it, he would never turn back, never.

Abhimanyu's sleep was far gone, he stared at Akshara who was now peacefully sleeping in his embrace and gently removed her hair from over her eyes.

Aarohi was dead, it was all he was told but he couldn't believe it and how could he even? The last he saw Aarohi was when they had a planned night out together and she was so happy and now when Akshara told him that the same girl who was smiling a week ago was dead he couldn't believe and moreover the fact that made it look unbelievable was that Aarohi had committed suicide

She wasn't the one to take her life, 22 long years of her life were spent in pain of loneliness if she didn't give it up at that time then why would she give it up now, when she found her sister and had a loving husband in short a happy family

She was ambitious, she always got what she wanted and her life was happily lived by her.

"Abhimanyu, i love Neil. I want to marry him, he's my happiness" he clearly remembered the time when she confessed to him her feeling for his brother and forwarded a marriage proposal for the same

And as this memory came flooded to his mind, he remembered about his brother, Neil he didn't see him since he had returned , Akshara was broken, she needed him but Neil too needs him, he slowly removed Akshara from his arms and covered her with a duvet before leaving

He made his way through the corridors to his room and saw the door being silently opened and not considering the need to ask for a permission he entered in

To only find Neil sitting on the floor with something holding on to his chest tightly.

Pain, it came running into his veins, his brother whom he always wanted to be happy was lying lifeless now

"Neil" He spoke with a heavy voice and as soon as Neil's eyes caught the sight of Abhimanyu he came rushing towards him and fell on him crying saying "She didn't love me bhai, it was all fake"
