In Pursuit Of Love

Shot Five

Tears welled up in my eyes and blurred my vision. I clutched the letter close to my heart and cried out his name.

"He left me???", I asked no one in particular.

"He left me ???? How could he do this to me. How can he just leave me alone after making me fall for him", I muttered while his maid kept staring at me with a blank expression.

" Please tell me that he's here. Tell me that he's still inside the house and he's just playing a prank on me", I asked the maid in a hopeful voice while she just nodded her head .

"No... This can't be true. He can't leave me . I won't let this happen to us ", I chipped assuring myself. "I have to stop him. I can't let him go away. I have to tell him how much I love him. ", I muttered running towards the road .

I took a cab and asked the driver to take me to the airport. The reminisces of the moments we spent together in these 30 days kept rolling in front of my eyes through out the way. He had managed to steal away my heart before I could even realise.

As soon as I reached the airport I rushed my way through the crowd only to realise that the flight had taken off. I stood there frozen and rooted to the ground like a lifeless soul. The tears that I had been holding in my eyes started rolling down my cheeks as the reality finally struck me. I sat down on the nearest chair with a thud. He had gone and it was all over .

It wasn't the first time that I was going through such pain. But the pain that I had dealt with after my break up with Aryan was not even 1% close to the pain I was going through right then. I couldn't compare it with anything else in the world. I wanted to hug Randhir and feel his presence but he had gone away leaving me alone forever .

I don't remember for how long I kept sitting there. Then I got up from the chair and walked out of the airport all lost .... like a dead soul.
I kept walking and walking lifelessly  on the roads to an unknown destination until my feet gave up. Coming out of my trance , I realised that I had reached the same park where we had first met. I made my way towards the same bench and caressed it lovingly before sitting down on it.

My gaze fell on the plant that he had planted for me which reminded me of the words he spoke to me ....

"This tree will remind me of you forever even after you walk out of my life."

"It wasn't me, Randhir .......It was you who left me alone and walked out of my life. ", I yelled looking at the plant.

"Why ???? Why Randhir????? Why did you do this to me?? Why did you leave me alone when I needed you the most??Why did you help me smile when you had to make me cry?? Why did you come into my life when you had to say a goodbye.. Please come back to me Randhir, I have so much to tell you. How do I say it you that I LOVE YOU. ", I chipped breaking down into sobs when I felt a tap on my shoulder. I lifted my forehead to see who  it was and was flabbergasted to see Randhir forwarding his handkerchief to me.

"You love me ,Baby ...", Randhir chipped with a winning smirk .

"Randhir ????" , I chipped  coming out of my daze. "You Jerk! You Idiot! How dare you do this to me . Huh. ", I started hitting him on his chest with my fist while he pulled me in a tight hug.

" Do you have any idea of what Ive been through in these last few hours.", I chipped pulling myself out from his hold."I Hate you!!! Do you hear me I Ha....", and before the words came out of my  mouth , he smashed his lips against mine fiercely and passionately  as if there's no tomorrow . He then bit my lip and slid his tongue ,devouring every corner of my mouth.We pulled out after a few minutes to catch our uneven breaths.

"I'm sorry ,Sanyukta . I had to lie to you but
I had to do this to make you realise your feelings towards me. Besides I wanted to
assure myself that you feel for me the same way as I do. And I'm happy that I've succeeded in both.", he chipped with a smile.

"How did you get your maid involved in all this", I couldn't help asking him.

"Well ... Baby , that was easy. Did she reply to any of your questions??? ", I thought for a while and nodded a no.

"That's because my maid speaks only Spanish. She doesn't understand English. I just handed her the envelope and asked her to give it to a girl who would come for me. You are the only girl I know and I somehow knew you would come to meet me today. ", he chipped winking at me while my jaw just dropped forming an '0'.

"I love you so much Sanyukta. I'm sorr....", I crashed my lips on his this time not letting him complete and kissed him passionately pouring in all my love and insecurities.

"I love you more Randhir..."
