A lot like Love

Jane Kyu

...Aadhya's P.O.V.....

I stormed back home, and the moment I entered my house my mom burst out laughing.

He my my
"Thanks Mom!" I muttered.

"Finally who had the guts to colour you?" She asked in between her laughs.
She very well knew I hated Holi but I hated that moron of a Hukum more now.

I royally ignored mom walking back to my room crossing dad on the way only to see him hysterically laughing.

I freshen up and changed into shorts and an over sized tee that basically covered my shorts and completed a few of my professional commitments.
It was I guess around 9 when I heard my mom calling me for dinner.
I walked downstairs to find my mom alone on the dining table.

"Where's Dad?" I enquired when she informed that he has something urgent come up and he had to visit his office, she also informed me that she'll be heading out too owing to an emergency at her friends. Nodding I focused on my mom's amazing culinary skills.

Completing our dinner we moved towards our room and since there was nothing better to do I decided to sleep because it seemed like a sane idea.

No! It wasn't.

Because as soon as sleep took over me, it all came back.

I tossed and turned trying to wake up, but a little part of me wanted to see it all again. The colours, the laughter. Someone running behind me. My heart felt heavy and it became difficult to breathe.

I woke up shouting, sweating all over, sobbing hysterically.

"Mom! Maa! Daddd!" I screamed only to remember that no one was home.
I tried finding my phone shivering.
I needed him. He was my solace, he has held me all through out over the years.
The calls went unanswered I tried calling again and It rang thrice, before he answered.

"Dad! Dad, it's all coming back! He's coming back! Dad! I can't breathe! Dad please do something! Save me Dad!" I sobbed.

"Ranisa!" I heard from the other side. Acknowledging his voice I hung up immediately.

I tried getting up to get my medicines.
It's been a while since I had these attacks.
The laughter still echoing. The hassle in my feet didn't support the situation resulting in fall.

I held my feet in pain. It was becoming extremely difficult to manage anymore when I heard the door opening.

....Rajveer's P.O.V. ....

We were in the middle of a very important meeting when I heard someone's phone ringing.

We were about to lose a big deal and had only three hours to get our game straight. And the phone ringing wasn't helping.

I banged my hand harshly against the table scaring my team. They all looked scared, when Tanishq pointed out.
"It's Rathore Sir's phone."

He must have forgotten it here, I asked a teammate to look out for him but it kept on ringing continuously, I moved towards the phone flipping it to be caught by the most beautiful eyes.
The caller screen displayed her picture, a face I couldn't get off my mind for a couple of days. Every time I closed my eyes, the same beautiful green eyes captivated my mind.
Breaking my riverie a helper informed me that Rathore Uncle had left hastily for the deal we were here for and wasn't reachable currently.

Having no other option I decided to pickup the call.

"Dad! Dad, it's all coming back! He's coming back! Dad! I can't breathe! Dad please do something! Save me Dad!" She sobbed breaking my heart unknowingly.
