Hukum sa little obsession

Shivendra leaving punjab

The day had come sooner than Ishita had anticipated, and the mood in the Mehra house was somber. Shivendra, along with his brothers Arjun, Aryan, and Akshay, was preparing to leave Punjab and return to Rajasthan, where their home was. The thought of Shivendra leaving filled Ishita with a deep sadness that she struggled to hide, but the heaviness in her heart was evident in her eyes.Shivendra, too, felt the weight of the impending separation. The days spent in Punjab had brought him closer to Ishita, and leaving now felt like tearing away a part of himself. The morning was filled with last-minute packing, but the atmosphere was thick with unspoken emotions.As the time for departure drew near, the family gathered in the courtyard. Shivendra's brothers, Arjun, Aryan, and Akshay, were exchanging farewells with Ishita's family, but even their usual light-heartedness was tinged with a hint of melancholy.Shivendra walked over to Ishita, who stood a little apart from the rest, her eyes focused on the ground. He gently took her hand, and she looked up, her eyes meeting his with a mix of sadness and longing."Ishita," Shivendra began, his voice soft, "I wish we didn't have to leave so soon. But I promise, this isn't goodbye. It's just a temporary separation."Ishita nodded, trying to hold back her tears. "I know, Shivendra. But it still hurts to see you go. These days have been... so special.""They have," Shivendra agreed, his thumb gently brushing the back of her hand. "But our journey together is just beginning. I'll be back before you know it, and when I do, it will be to start a new chapter of our lives together."Ishita smiled faintly, though her heart ached at the thought of him leaving. "You better keep that promise," she said, her voice wavering slightly.Shivendra smiled, his gaze steady and full of reassurance. "I will. And in the meantime, I'll be counting the days until I can see you again."Nearby, Arjun noticed the exchange and nudged Aryan, who was helping Akshay with the bags. "Looks like someone's found more than just a reason to come back to Punjab," Arjun whispered with a grin, trying to lighten the mood.Aryan smirked. "Seems like it. We'll have to make sure he doesn't get too distracted back home."Akshay, overhearing, chuckled. "Don't worry. We'll drag him back here if we have to."The playful banter between his brothers made Shivendra smile, but his focus remained on Ishita. He knew this wasn't just hard for him—it was hard for her too, and that made it all the more difficult.As the goodbyes continued, Ishita's mother approached Shivendra with a small smile. "Take care of yourself, Shivendra. We'll be waiting for you to return."Shivendra nodded, his respect and gratitude evident. "Thank you for everything, Aunty. I'll be back soon."Finally, it was time to leave. Shivendra gave Ishita's hand one last squeeze before reluctantly letting go. The brothers piled into the car, the mood inside subdued as they started the engine.As the car pulled away from the house, Ishita stood by the gate, watching until it disappeared down the road. She felt a tear escape and quickly wiped it away, trying to focus on the promise that Shivendra would return.Inside the car, Shivendra stared out of the window, his thoughts entirely on Ishita. Arjun, sitting beside him, gave him a sympathetic pat on the back. "Don't worry, bro. We'll be back soon enough."Shivendra nodded, but his heart was heavy. The road ahead was long, but the bond he and Ishita had formed made him certain that no distance could keep them apart for long. As they drove away from Punjab, he silently vowed to make the time until they were together again as short as possible.Back at the Mehra house, Ishita finally allowed herself to cry, her tears a mix of sadness and hope. She knew this wasn't the end—just a pause before their story could continue. And with that thought, she found the strength to smile, knowing that their love would bring them back together soon.

Five hours had passed since Shivendra and his brothers left Punjab, and now they were finally back in Rajasthan. The familiarity of home should have brought Shivendra comfort, but instead, he felt an emptiness that he couldn't quite shake. The journey had been quiet, each of the brothers lost in their own thoughts, and now that they were back, the silence only deepened.Shivendra sat on the edge of his bed, his mind still lingering on Ishita. The house was as he remembered it, but it felt different—less warm, less welcoming—without her. He picked up his phone, which had been lying beside him, and stared at the screen. Earlier, he had sent a message to Ishita, a simple text to let her know that he had reached home safely and was thinking of her. But she hadn't accepted his message request yet.He knew she might be busy or perhaps still processing their goodbye, but that didn't stop him from feeling a twinge of disappointment. To pass the time, he scrolled through his gallery until he found a picture of Ishita, one that he had taken during one of their walks by the river. Her smile in the photo was radiant, her eyes sparkling with the same warmth that had drawn him to her from the very beginning.Shivendra smiled softly as he looked at the picture, his thumb gently brushing over the screen. "Ishita," he whispered to himself, feeling the longing grow in his chest. He wished she was here with him now, filling the room with her laughter, her presence making the house feel alive again.He put his phone down for a moment and leaned back against the headboard, closing his eyes. The events of the day replayed in his mind—their playful banter, the way she had pushed him into the river, and the way she had looked at him when he confessed his feelings. Each memory was like a bittersweet reminder of what he was missing.Unable to shake the restlessness, Shivendra picked up his phone again and sent another message, hoping this time she might see it. "Hey, I'm home now. It feels strange being here without you. I miss you already."
He hesitated for a moment before hitting send, knowing that she might not see it right away. But just typing the words brought him a small measure of comfort. He looked back at the picture on his phone, feeling a bit more connected to her, even from afar.As he waited, he thought about how he could shorten the time until he could see her again. Maybe a visit to Punjab wasn't out of the question in the near future, or perhaps he could convince her to visit Rajasthan. The possibilities swirled in his mind, each one giving him a glimmer of hope.For now, all he could do was wait, staring at her picture and hoping that soon, he'd see a notification that she had accepted his message request. Until then, her image was enough to keep him company, a small but powerful reminder of the bond they shared.
