Love is never lost. If not reciprocated,it will flow back and soften and purify the heart.

Sometimes, I just wish to run away from everything because I am doing everything forcebily in my life.

I don't not want to just study some boring subjects, go into a job and work my ass off everyday for money sake and ultimately marry someone and having kids.

This life just sucks.

Why can't I be free and lead my life as I wish?

I looked up the sky to see dark clouds hovering upon us indicating it might rain any time, soon.

The weather was freezing today and I pulled my jacket closer and entered the college building when someone put a hand on my shoulder.

"There you are." I was startled for a few seconds but relaxed when I heard Sid's voice.

"Whats wrong? You look like you have seen a ghost." He said.

"Of course and it's standing right in front of me." I said, laughing while he frowned.

"But seriously, you look grumpy these days, what's up?" Sid asked.

"She always look grumpy if you ask me." Alia said, coming to stand beside sid.

"Hey, it's not true." I tried to protest even though I knew it was true.

"Of course it is. You always act like a typical herione in serials where they always cry and sulk their whole life as if the world has fallen on their heads." Sid said, making Alia laugh.

"Stop it." I said. -I think I need to stop thinking about him and pay my attention on my friends. I have just another five more months to complete my college and I want to make it the best of it.

By the time the got out of the college building, it was pouring down hard on us. I forgot to bring an umbrella with me and Sid and Alia left earlier.

Infact almost everyone had left by now because the classes got over a long time back and I being the unlucky girl spent my time in library for the presentation.

I walked faster the rain drops hitting hard on my skin. The rain and the breeze mercilessly attacked me and my vision got blurred making me difficult to walk.

Just then, I saw a fugure walking down in front of me. I could not see the face but could tell it was a boy.

I tried to cover my head with my bag never slowing down my phase. The boy seemed to walking in my direction. -As I got nearer to the person I stopped in my tracks, my whole body freezing in shock.

My heart beat started to make a marathon and my legs became jelly and I stood still when I saw his face.

Varun looked equally shocked like I was and I was surprised he atleast recognized me.

He too was drenched in rain like I was but my eyes manged to catch his features. He looked different. In high school he looked thin and had a cute face.

But now, he looked matured with bread on his face.He had a muscular body with perfect abs. His hair was messed up and wet but he looked ten times more handsome than he was in high school.

"Shraddha."

My heart skipped a beat when my name escaped from his lips. His lips formed into a small smile and I jerked back to reality.

"Wait a sur........" -I quickly walked past him and moved further away from him.

"Shraddha, wait." He called out but I ignored him and walked faster. I just need to go a few more steps where my vehicle was located and I would run away from him.

Thankfully, he didn't followed me as I got nearer to my vehicle. Luckily, the parking lot had a roof top above my head to protect from the rain.

I stood breathing heavily trying to calm down my rapid beating heart. I was surprised by the effect he had on me even after years of meeting.

Even though, I hate to admit a small part of me got excited to see him and how he had grown over the years.

I always created scenarios in my head of meeting Varun again and I never imagined it would come in this way.

I always thought to slap him and yell him how he ruined my life but now I choose to walk away from him because the damage was aldready done and their no use speaking on that.

Sometimes, silence is the best answer.
