Eight Months Later

"The Fiction Records led by the magnificent quartet of yesteryear, Ayaan Khanna, Yuvraj Seth, Zue Diaz, and Kabir Mehra, has released its first single by none of than nation's sweetheart, Ayra Khanna," The RJ announced and went on to introduce my first single in past 4 years, Skyscraper.

The song I hold so close to my heart. The first song I wrote on my own. The song climbed the charts just a few hours after we dropped it. I couldn't have felt happier. It was extra special this time as the label was my home. Their first and my comeback made it all worth it. It was worth all the wait.

I am still working on the album. I am promoting my single. I am learning whenever I have time, and I am making sure to spend most of my free time with my family.

My grandparents visited us many times in the past months. Zue bua had flown back to Delhi with Kabir Foofa. They both actively participate in producing my album under their combined banner. There is excitement amongst people all around the nation.

I feel, more than seeing me they are excited to see their favourite band making a comeback, even though they aren't performing again. They are flooded with many offers from talk shows to appear for interviews, but they have decided to hold them until my album is out.

Bhai and Nitara are doing better than expected. It's not that I expected them to break up, but I didn't think they would be together for this long either. As for Zoya and Ruhaan, I haven't spoken to them since the last time. I didn't take any action on the song as I didn't want to stretch things ahead, and surprisingly, it worked in my favour, I saw my name in the writing credits. I searched for it again on Google and saw people reacting positively. My previous label also released an apology on their social handles. I gained from it. People supported me and bashed the label as well as Ruhaan Roy and Zoya Khan.

So things are going pretty well for me except for the fact that I haven't heard from Ved yet. I asked Nitara about it. She said he left the channel. I tried calling his mother, but her number was unreachable. I realised I knew no one from his family. I had no idea what they did. I just knew he didn't get along with his parents and that they were getting divorced. That's all.

I am trying to reach him but I have no idea how to do it. Baba, Mamma, Bhai, Nitara, and Chachu tried their way, and they still are, but no success yet. It fears me to think about what if I don't see him again. Maybe I should have tried harder. Maybe I should have shown effort.

He left because I let him go. I didn't try to stop him. I was so consumed with my problems that I barely gave him importance. I know I failed to show my care and love. When I realised my mistake, he had already gone away. I mailed him my song, but I never got any reply to it. I am not sure where he is or what he is doing anymore.
