"That's How We MET"

|| Chapter Nineteen ||

Happy Reading.

Late in the afternoon during the lunch break deetya was telling something to taksh that's when his eyes got stuck on that one particular face in the crowd.

Taksh was too engrossed in looking at that face and finally that person looked back at taksh. Their eyes were locked for more than a minute.

That person started walking towards taksh. Deetya wasn't looking at taksh but telling him about something while arranging her books but none of this was noticed by taksh.

Finally the person stook beside taksh. "Hii taksh" person said.
Taksh was too shocked to respond but he stood up instead.

The person was none other than maira.

MAIRA taksh's first love, he loved her with all his heart and may be a little part of his heart still do, not like love kind of love but a deep scar that gets scratched everytime he looks at her making him bleed.

He never knew that it would still hurt but it did just like a sharp piece of knife was being stabbed in his chest so deep until the last drop of blood from his body flows out.

Deetya finally looked at taksh who was still looking at maira and then at maira, and felt a  sharp pain in her chest.

Maira said,
"Taksh i..... Wanna talk to you ....... Alone, after college today at our OG place"  with this statement she looked at deetya and then back at taksh and left.

Deetya was looking at taksh for at least a mere explanation but taksh was himself too confused to explain anything to deetya. They just exchanged a stare and left for their classes.

Deetya was very insecure about the situation though it didn't meant that she didn't trust taksh but about maira she was not sure.

••••••

After college deetya tried calling taksh but he didn't pick her calls and then aarav told her that he went to meet maira.
This piece of information broke something inside deetya but she decided to stay calm.

At night deetya waited for taksh's call but it didn't came.

•••••

It's been four days since taksh didn't come to college nor did he receive anyone's calls, the only thing that aarav got to know from his mom was that, he was home and wanted some time for study which was a white lie that taksh told his mom.

Deetya was getting restless now and decided to go to taksh's house. At evening Deetya, Aarav and trisha went to taksh's house to meet him.

Deetya was mad at taksh but at the same time was very concerned about him.

All the three of them headed towards his room but Aarav suggested deetya to go alone and he and trisha would join afterwards.

Deetya opened the door of taksh's room only to find it completely empty.

She heard some sound from the closest and headed toward it only to find taksh sitting on the floor with photographs, books and some clothes all messed up around him.
There were some photos torn into pieces and shattered all around the floor of the walk in closet.

Deetya gathered all her courgare and finally walked towards him. She just sat beside him and hugged him.

Taksh was startled by sudden touch but instantly recognized it and tears started forming in his eyes.
"Deetya... I am sorry... I" .
