Arresting Hearts: Unexpected Bonds Of Love.

Chapter 31

Life is not a bed of roses. Everyone has their own problems. I don't understand why engaging in long conversations is weighed to be the worth of a blooming friendship. I am not going through a good time yet I am trying hard. I am trying very, very hard and if I have taken a decision then there is a very strong reason behind it. I am going through a roller coaster ride and I don't expect everyone to understand it but please respect my decision. I am a human too. If I have taken some decision then it is the only option I am left with. Please respect it. I haven't done anything in haste but in my sane mind.

Well..... So I had a talk with my best friend regarding this and she understood the predicament I am in. She advised me to give a try. She has accepted to handle my wattpad account till the time I ain't available. I don't know how to thank her.

So , from now on, she will be the one handling my profile. I will try my best too. Thank you for understanding.

And thank you babe❤.

Arjun's Pov:

The bonfire was burning bright, with flames dancing in the night. A group of students were gathered around it, laughing and having a good time. Their loud voices and cheerful mood really bothered me. I had my arms crossed over my chest, feeling frustrated that they were getting in the way of my investigation.

We were supposed to search the campus grounds at night when it was quiet, but these students messed up our plans by being there. Their presence was a big obstacle for us.

As I watched them drinking from their red cups and acting carefree, I couldn't help but feel a bit jealous. Their lives seemed so simple, without all the questions and worries that were constantly on my mind.

I could feel the key, heavy in my pocket – a constant reminder of the mystery we were trying to solve. I had gone through all the files over and over again, looking for any clues or leads, but found nothing useful. A nagging feeling kept telling me that we were missing something important, that the whole truth was still hidden from us.

Rohit's voice broke through my thoughts, sounding just as frustrated as I felt. "What do we do now, Arjun? It feels like we're at a dead end."

His words hung in the air, a grim acknowledgment that we had hit a dead end. The man who could have given us answers had taken his own life, leaving us with nowhere to turn.

I shook my head, unable to offer any reassurance. Instead, I asked about Vidhi, concern evident in my voice. "How is Vidhi doing?"

Rohit's expression darkened, and he let out a tired sigh. "She's not doing well at all. She's been quiet and distant ever since she came home with me. I don't understand her, Arjun. Something is really bothering her. She flinches at the smallest sounds, and the nightmares..." His voice trailed off, and I could see the helplessness in his eyes.

"You should visit her," he continued. "Maybe she'll open up to you about what's troubling her so much."

I nodded, my gaze shifting back to the students, their laughter now accompanied by the clinking of their cups. The sound only added to my annoyance, a stark contrast to the weight of our investigation.

Rohit's phone rang, breaking the silence between us. "I'll be there," he said, answering the call. He turned to me, a questioning look on his face. "Vidhi hasn't eaten anything since this afternoon. I need to go and get her to eat something. Are you coming?"

I shook my head. "Go ahead! I have some important things to take care of. I'll come over tomorrow."

With a nod, Rohit turned and walked away, his phone pressed against his ear as he disappeared into the night. I was left alone with my thoughts, the distant sounds of the students' revelry a constant reminder of the carefree lives that existed beyond our investigation.
