Dheere Se Kho Gaye!

[19]

Ishi's POV

I couldn't sleep all night thinking about my mother and the decisions she would impose on me from day one. I understand I'm her daughter but for God's sake, I'm not a kid anymore. I just wish my mother start treating me like an adult for once.

I had asked Alia to stay over as I was not being able to think straight for once. Both of us were lying on the bed, I had my back on Alia as she was snoring after putting me to sleep but soon after I woke up.

I silently sobbed while thinking about my life and it was just so shitty as I am not being able to run to hide behind Shrinkhal and I don't want to face any such thing which would trigger me again. I am not usually cool around guys because of my bad past.

I felt my arm wrapped around my waist, "What are you thinking?"

"Wohi sab! You know Sinku was the last and will always be. I don't want to live with anyone else and I don't want to marry or even see any guy. I feel like I'm betraying him even though it's him who's making me feel like shit. I am so frustrated I don't understand a single thing. I don't know where I was wrong. I'm just so tired. Of myself. Of everything," I tried to control before I lose my insanity.

Alia sat up straight and made me sit too, "Ghar se bhag jate Hain? What's say? We'll go to your place and then main tujhe drop karke vapis aa jaungi. Simple."

I for a second liked her idea but I didn't have the energy to do so, "What about maa? She'll kill me. Aur Nani? Unhe kitna sunayenge mumma. I don't want her to suffer because of me."

"Tu uss cheez ki chinta mat kar main sambhal loongi sab." Alia winked at me.

I smiled to myself for thinking we could do it for a second. Should I do this? I love Shrinkhal and probably can't see my life without him, I have it all imagined till I die. But the only thing that's been stopping me if it's worth it going back to him.

I did tell every detail to Alia and she asked me to sort things out as she can't see me in pain and told me I deserve all the happiness in the world and my only world is Shrinkhal.

Why have you put me in this situation?

I heard Alia dragging the suitcase and already began packing my stuff. I jumped out of my bed as my heart popped out of my mouth, "Raat ke ek baje jayenge hum?"

"Arrey nahi pagal packing karke rakhte Hain subha 4 baje nikalenge."

"What about maa?"

"I'll handle that."

"What about your MAAAA? Both our mothers will kill us for sure. Mujhe abhi nahi marna Mera chintu nahi Mila mujhe abhi."

"They'll kill us only if they'll get to us. And don't worry, Shrinkhal saath chintu nahi hua toh we'll adopt a cute Labrador puppy usse Chintu bula liya karenge abhi chal jaldi se pack kar aur Nani se bhi milna hai abhi."

I didn't know what to do so I simply began to help Alia and pack her stuff too. Now that she's going with me I won't let her come back easily. Soon, we were done packing and we both tiptoed into Nani's room.

We sat on the edge of the bed as we didn't know how to wake up Nani without making any noise. I was being too cautious. I caressed Nani's hand and tried to wake her up.

"Kya kar Rahi hai, Ishi? Piche hatt--"

"--dhere bol meri maa."

"Nani... utho jaldi se meri pyaari Nani we need to talk," Alia spoke while gently squeezing Nani's cheeks.

She narrowed her eyes and saw us disturbing her sleep, "Kya hua ab tum dono ko?" She sat up straight while rubbing her eyes.

"Hum bhag rahe hain," Alia announced and smiled at me as it was a very proud moment.

Alia was sitting close to Nani and got caught in Nani's hands. Nani pulled her ear gently, "Kahan? Kyun? Kis liye?"

"Ishi ko.. ah Nani araam se." Alia groaned in pain.

"Ishi ko ladke se nahi milna isliye hum vapis Sinku ke paas ja rahe hain." Alia got out of Nani's grip and hid behind me.

I looked at Nani with puppy eyes, "Apne hi kaha tha na ek aur chance de Sinku ko dekho ab Dene hi ja Rahi hoon hum dono ko ek mauka please Nani pray for me. I don't want to lose him."

"And for me too Nani that I find a guy like Shrinkhal, he's so cute." Alia jumped in excitement and I calmed her down.

Nani thought for a while and nodded at us, "Theek hai iss bar Jane de rahi hoon aise agli baar sochna bhi mat Kuch Aisa karne ka? Bohot marr padegi tum dono ko. Aur jate hi wahan meri Sri se baat karwana main usse dant lagaungi."

"Yes, boss!" Alia hugged Nani and began kissing her cheeks. I joined them too.

We talked with Nani for a while and it was 4 in the morning already. We bid bye to Nani and eloped from my room's balcony. I sat on the passenger's seat as Alia wanted to drive.

"Let the fun begin!" Alia screamed and we soon hit the highway.

I was lost again in my thoughts. Will Shrinkhal be happy to see me? Will we be the same again? Will we end up together? Or not? Are things going to be the same?
