They never met...

CHAPTER 10- UNTANGLING TIES

Bichdne ka bhi garr mann ho
Toh mann ki khna mujse
{Please, tell me if you wanna part ways with me}

Mere mann ki khalao m basna
Na durr rhna mujhse
{Reside in the loneliness of my heart, don't stay away from me}

Ke teri hasi ko samet lun mai aakhon mein apni
Kuch yun muskura kar bichadne ka falsafaa khna mujhse
{ Let me keep your laughter to me , please be happy, if you wanna part ways with me}

*Flashback continues*

Jagjeet's pov:

I cut off all ties to the external world I didn't wanna talk to anybody not even to veer ,my phone was switched off for an entire month and I never bothered to switch it on or check on mahima as she was not interested in me , Iam at verge of burnout,I have overworked myself and tried to remain as busy as possible so that I could forget her , but everything was in vain , her thoughts find their way to my head everytime he tried to get some sleep.....sleep whats that , sleeping peacefully is as real as a Mirage to me at this point....why mahima why didn't you come.
Again!!! She is the sole passenger of my train of thoughts and damn!!! I just cant do anything about it.If pain the heart could kill , i would have been dead by now , but sadly it just drew you in the sea of pain , misery and grief .....be sane jagjeet, please be sane ....i told myself

I didn't even use check my mail from past month as i cant afford distraction at this point and also iam just not feeling like doing anything...it feels as if love paralyzed me.....love .....my first love...i fell for her to the point that I could have walked to the end of sky, if she would have allowed me , but she didn't.... What's she doing right now...i thought to myself.

MAHIMA'S POV:

The tip tap from the tap was adding to my anxiety as I looked at the blazing screen in front of me showing 200 calls to the person i was supposed to meet a month ago ,i heaved out of exhaustion, exhaustion of trying to reach out to him but i gathered the last cramps of courage and started typing an e mail to him and

*creek*

I looked in the direction of light tearing through the darkness of my room and saw the silhouette of my younger brother

"Arpan"

"Why are you not confronting that man" he asked with an emotion less voice

"Umm ...we will but we are waiting for your slight recovery" replied mahima with a concerned laces voice, gesturing him to sit beside her

"I don't wanna face him anymore, I don't wanna go out as well ,I don't trust people" he said while sitting

"You dont have to face him, I know its tough but i also know you are a warrior,the strongest one among us" she tried to encourage him

Both of the siblings looked at themselves, tears warning them to escape from their eyes , mahima extended her hands and took her younger brother in a protective hug ,now tears found their way to their cheeks

"I am sorry , i could not save you that , iam so sorry...that you hav..e to go..hic..hic.. through all this ,I am..I should have saved you...hic"

"It's not your fault...don't blame yourself for that didi....." silent tears flowed to his cheeks

"I will not spare that man...i promise my little pumpkin... "She uttered in a soft voice in all seriousness
