Year's later
Devdutt POV
I wake up by the alarm sound. It was 5 in morning as I walked to bathroom to wash my face. Coming out of bathroom I changed myself in pair of shorts and t-shirt. Sitting on couch I wore and tied the knots of my shoes.

My eyes fell on the balcony of her room. As same it was closed by door and curtains as it's from last two years, not it's two years and three months.

It's been two years, three months four days I last seen her. Only if I could go back in time and didn't let myself to do things which I regret now.

She just disappeared, I tried to reach her but nothing happened cause her number is off from last two years. Even Rahul bhaiya didn't give me her number.

Now it's feels like I lost her parmanently.

I opened the gallery and looked at the pic which I last time took secretly when she was playing with Angad.

I literally misbehaved with her. I was too coward to accept the fact that I love her.

I realised my love for her when she left me. The proverb was right, we only realise the importance of someone when they leave us.

Thinking about how much she must have hurt, suffered and cried my sleep washes away in thin air.

"Oh hello Devdutt Padikkal, taiyar ho gaye ya mein aau taiyar karne" Mayank yelled from downstairs. "Aa raha hun" I yelled back while closing the phone and strode down stairs.

There he was seated on couch scrolling through his phone and I saw him scrolling through old pictures of us and Prarthana.

"Chale!" I asked as I saw him looking at me with frown.

"Don't you miss her even as friend?" How should I say him that I am dying here for her one glimpse. Without saying anything I just walked out.

We both sat in car and drived to ground for practice.

Our memories still hunting me. Even now life seems too empty. I don't know, Neither am I happy, nor am I at peace, I am just living like rock.

Where ever she is she must be at peace that, dumb like me is now out of her life.

I just want to see her only for one time! But is it even possible. I don't think so.

"Bhai dyan kidar hai tera, agar tabiyat thik nahi hai to rest karle" Mayank yelled at me. Without saying anything I walked to sitting area and I sat there.

Today I am missing her more than I ever did. I just want her presence near me but she isn't here. I plamed my hands on my face. Everything is messed up.

Author POV
"Kya hua itna off kyun hai" Mayank asked as he come and sat beside him. "Yaad aa rahi hai yaar, bohot jyada yaad aa rahi hai uski" he mumbled looking down.

May be because he again had a dream related to her and Mayank mentioning her didn't helped much.

"Tu roo raha hai" Mayank was shocked as he saw Devdutt shudder his shoulder as he silently sobbed.

Devdutt quickly wiped his tears and stood up.

"I think I should leave" saying it he walking away from there. Mayank just pitied him.

Devdutt drived to his house and entered inside directly walking to his roon he locked himself in his room as he didn't come out for hours.

At evening
Devdutt woke up from his slumber and freshed up. He looked around his room, when his eyes fell on Prarthana's balcony something hurted his back of throat. Even his own appartment is suffocating him.

Entering inside his washroom he splashed cold water on his face.

"You are the reason for your pain" his mind echoed.

"Can you stop it?" He mumbled looking at himself. Coming out he jerked the door and shut it with loud noise.

Wearing fresh pair of clothes he come down stairs. He took his car keys and left from there.

He was driving in mid night but still there was few vehicle's as Mumbai roads never get empty.

He wanted to calm himself from this suffocation. And for now long drive is only solution for that.

His heart was thudding and burning, he wasn't able to control his emotions. He was missing her so damn much.

Soon it started to rain as it's mid of July.

He was driving too fastly than suddenly he stopped as he saw its pouring.

Opening the door he walked out in rain. Droplets of water soaked him in few seconds.

Standing alone is pouring rain, his face contorted with emotion as tears mix with raindrops on his cheeks. He looks up at the sky, the rain poured relentlessly around him.

"Why did you leave? Why did you have to go?" His voice trembled as his eyes getting red by now.

He falls to his knees, the rain soaking through his clothes, but he doesn't seem to notice.

"I miss you... I miss us. Please, come back. I can't do this without you." He choked on his words as he couldn't control it anymore.

His cries echo in the empty street as he reaches out a hand, as if hoping she would appear before him. The rain continues to pour, mirroring the storm of emotions raging inside him.

His voice was breaking as he mumbled "I love you.... please come back... I need you" his sobs mingle with the sound of rain, as he break down. It seemed like even the nature is crying with him.
