HIS DEMAND

ch-62

Tomorrow is Aditya's birthday

The mood is not how it was supposed to be for someone's birthday and you know why.

Everything is more silent than usual.

At night,

Though Arushi knew that bad memories are related to his birthday and he doesn't celebrate it  Infact he get disappeared for the day and no one knew where so no one ever wished him " happy birthday" since 13 years and it's will be his 14 year but Arushi wanted to do something else. She can't change the past, she can't go back in time and correct everything but she wanted him to fill his birthday memory with some happiness. So she decided that she will wish him happy birthday and try to make him understand that whatever happened in the past was not his fault.

After dinner Both came to room and  lie down on the bed.

Arushi tried to talk to him but his dejected face stopped her. She can see he already Starts to suffer mentally.

She keep her eyes closed but she is awake to wish him but as the night came and everything becomes silent only the chirping sound of cricket is coming.

She felt the bed getting lighter but she doesn't make any move. Aditya woke up and with slow steps he Starts to walk out of the room. Arushi sat on the bed for a minute or two to contamplate whether she should follow him or not but then decides to follow him.

Arushi found  him  in the hallway, going inside a particular door which is not used for all these months she has been here. As soon as she open the door and put her leg inside, a gush of dust came to her. She can feel dust beneath her legs on the floor. After coughing a little she took a long breath by poking her head outside and then closes the door. She looked here and there. There are big windows From which moonlight is coming and lluminating the room. All things are covered with some sheet but she can guess that there is  a big TV  on the wall and 3 sofas are placed infront of the TV after some distance. This looked like a hallway which they have on the ground floor but in a little mini version.

Arushi is observing that when she heard the sound of door opening, not wanting to loose him she fastly but with silent steps went there from where the sound came.

She can see his foot steps on the dust and following that she crossed another two doors but the footsteps didn't stop there, footsteps take a turn on the third door.

A feeling of fear is slowly enveloping her heart.

Arushi doesn't know what to expect at this moment, What Will be there, or what will she get to see there. All types of questions revolving around her mind. she is not even sure if she should be here or she should be opening that door or not.

"It doesn't matter if it is wrong or not you have to do it for him, fot the man who cares about you alot, who understands you like no one, for the man whom you came to love and falling for him more and more. You have to do it. You have to do it." Her innerself encouraged her.

Arushi stands infront of the door,and steadily beings to open the door, but her hands halted in middle and her body stiffened when she heard the sound of  cries. It's belongs to a man,and there is no on but Aditya.

Arushi's heart shook violently hearing his cries, the man who made sure that there is no reason left for her to even feel hurt is now crying .

What can she do to help him. Can she face him. Only hearing his cry made her feel to helpless What will happen when she see him.

Whatever the result it, she opened the door with shaking hands and take a step inside only to hope that what conditions he is right now, no one will ever be in that condition.
