Even though I cried silent tears all the while I was at Mehrotra house, I had to stay strong for the families and Advik. When I finally find myself alone in the four walls of my bedroom; I let the dam of my emotions burst. Let my ache free. Ahaana left. She... just left. I look at the picture on the nightstand. Suhana, Ahaana and I.

All of us laughing.

We were all taking pictures at the hideout, last summer. Grandpa was asking us to pose as he clicked us. We were posing but Ahaana and Sahil were busy giving each other snarky remarks after their fight-- she threw his phone in the pool because he stole a piece of her cheese balls. Ahaana said something that made Sahil gasp in bewilderment and that made all three of us laugh out loud. When my parents saw this picture, they loved my laughing face so much that Mumma decided to frame it for my room.

These Mehrotra siblings creeped in my heart with slow steps. Ahaana, she became sister to me way before I realised my feelings for Advik.

When in high school our classmates found out about Advik and I being in relationship, they all started making assumptions that I got in their group, got close with the girls for Advik. No one knew how we became friends. How nervous Ahaana became 'the sassy drama queen chinu' for me. How Suhana accepted me. How our friendship shaped. How we went from strangers to family.

Each drop of tear running down my eyes is knife paving way into my heart. Each tear that I shed for her, for the unknown of future pierces my soul. The moment I think of what the families, Advik, Suhana and... especially him... what they must be going through, the thought makes me nauseated. This night is long for Yug and I but for them... I don't think I can even bring myself to understand how their heart must be shattering with each second that goes by without her.

The most painful goodbyes are the ones that are left unsaid and unexplained. She left, without giving us a chance of explaining, without anyone taking in her beauty, her tears, her joys, her sorrows. She left with her heart weighing heavy as if it was shackled with weights. She left with her heart scattering with each step that she took away from her people.
