Deleting Memories ❤

||You Were Everything To Me||

Chapter-25

Arjun came back home and was constantly trying to decode the emotions he saw in Kudrat's eyes but he was not able to reach there.

Days rolled by and Kudrat's messages reduced to almost negligible. She restrained herself from texting him first but whenever Arjun messaged her, she always replied and had a talk with him.

Arjun was fighting with his thoughts about Kudrat and in order to protect himself from getting insane, he tried to get close to Jasmine.That was the only way he thought will work.

He was sure that it was happening because he was not experiencing his relationship as people always do. 

There were no dates, no movies, no hand in hand walking. Nothing was normal in his relationship with Jasmine and that was why one kiss he shared with Kudrat and he was thinking about that.

He was somewhat sure that everything will be alright if Jasmine will start spending some quality time with him. In person.

"Jasmine"Arjun messaged her.

"Yes baby"Jasmine replied immediately.

"I want to meet. I want to spend some time with you. I miss being with you. We live just 2 sectors away and still you make me crave like this for meeting you" He said.

"Aww...my baby wants to meet. But babu this week I am busy. You know na di is getting married next month. We will meet on Sunday. Okay?"Jasmine said.

"Hmmmm.Okay"Arjun texted her back.

He was not in a condition to argue. He was already tired of fighting with his thoughts from past one month.

It had been a month but still the memory of kiss he shared with Kudrat was fresh. It still haunt him at night. He still can feel her rosy lips.

"Aaaaahhhh...main pagal ho jaana ae edaaannn"Arjun caught his head in his hands and shouted.

And there Kudrat was finally free from her exams. And this free time again took her to her deep thinking sessions. Books were good distraction. When she was lost in her books, she tend to forget every pain and every problem of her life.

But when she was finally free. Things again started bothering her or may be they never stopped bothering her. Her tears had dried. She was tired of crying and she knew there was no use of crying.
**************
Week passed and It was Sunday. Jasmine texted Arjun that she will meet him at the lake but he refused.

"Not lake. Somewhere else"He said.

"Why?"Jasmine asked. What was wrong in meeting there ?

"I don’t want to go there. Please!"Arjun requested.

He was running. Running from her thoughts. And that Lake held a special place in their lives.

"Okay. Meet me at Rose Garden. 5 pm sharp."Jasmine said.

"Okay"Arjun  replied back.

He shaved his week long stubble and wore a black shirt. Jasmine's favourite. He was looking so handsome that every girl will skip her heartbeat just by looking at him for a second.

Clock showed 5 and he reached the place where Jasmine asked him  to meet . He was happy. Happy that finally Kudrat's thoughts will leave his mind. He was happy that he will spend quality time with Jasmine. Or he thought he was happy !

Jasmine reached there after 10 minutes in her lower,T- Shirt, chappals and smiled at him.

Arjun too passed a  smile and hugged her but it felt void. He ignored it and they immersed themselves in their conversation.

Three hours passed like this and it was almost 8 pm. Arjun dropped Jasmine at her home.

He was feeling little relaxed. He was feeling happy because he was thinking that now he will be able to sleep peacefully at night.

He came home and texted Kudrat. He told her about his meeting with Jasmine.

Arjun always told her everything about Jasmine because she was his only friend with whom he can share everything. He never hid anything from her but he never told her what he was feeling after that kiss.

Arjun was unknown to Kudrat's feelings for him. If he had any idea about her feelings, he would have never told her about his meetings with Jasmine.

Kudrat couldn't say anything about the same to Arjun and always hear what he hd to told her about Jasmine.

Little did Arjun know how she used to deal with it. She felt like throwing up, she felt sick. Something used to churn inside her stomach badly. Everything used to seem working in slow pace. But Arjun was not known to these facts.

But something had changed over the time. Kudrat's long messages with teasings were changed into small messages with "hmmm", "oh", "acha".

Arjun felt this change too but then ignored it.

But little he realized that IF HE WAS RUNNING FROM HIS FEELINGS AND PROBLEMS THAT DOESN'T MEAN THEY ARE NOT THERE !!
******************
Days passed and Kudrat completed her graduation with flying colours.

Her deep thinking sessions finally reached to some conclusions but she kept those conclusions to herself. It was not right time to speak herself out. She will wait, wait for the right.

"Papa lets do it"Kudrat said to her father when she was enjoying evening tea with her family.

"You don't want to do masters ? You can do it after your masters also. "her father asked.

"I can't wait anymore. Its now or never"She said in a determined voice and her parents looked at each other.

"Okay"Her father said and smiled at her.

Kudrat was happy. Happy that finally she was getting over it. She was happy with her decision.

Arjun and Jasmine's meetings were more frequent now. They were sharing hugs and moments of closeness with each other. But there was always something missing in between them. Arjun ignored it as he thought he was overthinking.

"Arjun"Jasmine said one evening leaning into his shoulder.

"Hmmm"Arjun said absent mindedly as he was shuffling through his phone's gallery.

He stopped at Kudrat's picture and stared at it for few moments. Jasmine noticed this and it ignited her anger.

"Why your phone has her photographs?"She asked him in anger.

"Whose?"Arjun asked like he didn't know anything.

"Don't act innocent"Jasmine said.

"What? She is my friend. What is wrong in it If I have her photos in my phone?"Arjun asked her.

"She is your friend. Pkka? There is nothing between you two. You are cheating on me?"Jasmine asked him.

" hell no"Arjun yelled.

"Prove it then."Jasmine said in same pitch.

"What? How?,"Arjun asked in confusion.

"Delete her photographs!"Jasmine chipped and rolled her eyes.

"What will that do ? You don't trust my Love? "Arjun asked her.

"Do what I said"Jasmine said.

"Okay okay. I am deleting them."Arjun said and deleted Kudrat's photographs.

Jasmine was happy as she became successful in doing what she  wanted to do from so long but she forgot that there is no use of deleting the photohraphs from his phone's gallery. How she will delete it from his mind OR HEART ?

She leaned into Arjun in happiness. Her face was  close to Arjun's face. He was shocked at her audacity to come so close in the pubic. It was the first time she was doing this.

He closed his eyes as Jasmine's face came dangerously close to his and her breath tickled his lips and something churned inside him.
