Mausam's POV:-
Its our graduation day today.
Yes. The days of our college have ended. These long three years have passed. Everything is finally in its place. After today we'll start our new life. A new journey.
We all are not only best but bestest friends now. Though Neev and me are friends again but a little distant than before.I haven't told anyone about that incident. He's already ashamed and can't look at my eyes I don't want that to make him the same in everyone's eyes. He has proved himself a good friend in every aspect but I am bound to keep my eyes open now.
Today is a busy day for me. As we are here now to get our graduation certificates and after that I have to head to home.
As it's a big day for bhaiya. Sakshi, who is soon going to be my bhabhi is coming to our house with her family. She's only one year elder than me.
She and bhaiya are dating each other since one and half years now a little after when she joined our company in Human resources department.
I like her. She has been with us sometimes in parties and gatherings. But we'll meet her parents today for the first time.
One by one all of us got our certificates then after a little conversation we left. Tonight there is a party in here so we'll be back for that. For the last night in this place. And soon Sid, Kusum, Akshay and...Karan will return to there hometown.
I can't stay away from him neither he can. Shruti and Akshay are also facing the same problem. I have been avoiding this but tonight I have to talk with him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"They've arrived." I heard my mother announcing from downstairs. I got out of my room and walked down.
I saw everyone sitting in the drawing room. Shakshi beamed at me and I returned her smile. My mother introduced me to Sakshi's parents.
Her mother looked familiar. Don't know why. I haven't met her before! I'll ask bhaiya later.
"Bhaiya. Can I ask you something? " I said entering his room after the guests left.
"You don't have to take permission. Now say."
"Bhaiya. Have we met Sakshi bhabhi's mother before? "
"No. Why?"
"Nothing. Just... she seemed familiar. I have seen her somewhere."
"They are living here since last two years you may have seen her somewhere in market or any where."
"No. I haven't met her in person but has seen her photograph somewhere, but I can't remember where!" I was actually confused how can I see her photograph when they have came in this town only two years ago.
"Mmm ok if it's feel any better, I'll ask Shakshi if they have any allies in here."
"No no. It's.. It can be my mistake. I don't want you to spy on her because of my silly assumption."
"Who said I'll spy on her? But I really think it's just a confusion. You are mixing her with someone else."
"May be. Leave it. So.... You're getting married next month huh. I'm so excited." The date of wedding has been finalised and we have a very little time to arrange everything.
"Yeah. And you are joining our company too." Bhaiya said patting me on head. And I smiled at him.
"Its 5 already. Aren't you going to your graduation party?"
"Oh yeah. Shit I forgot. I need to go. Bye." I quickly hugged bhaiya and left. I thought of talking to Karan before going to the party so I need to leave early.
After an hour I was all ready. I drove to the boys apartment and there was it. The shifting process was in full swing. My heart dropped on seeing all the packed cartons.
"Don't be upset. It's not like am leaving you. I'll be back soon. " Karan said holding me from behind. I didn't turn but lean onto him.
"Still. You are going to join your company, there's no guarantee your parents will let you move in here." He inhaled on my neck comforting us both.
"Listen. Dont stress yourself ok. We are going to join our companies... it's not only about our lives but also about our future. We need to secure it before taking a step." He kissed on my jaw making me smile. I turned to him this time.
"You're doing that to distract me. Aren't you? But it's not gonna work.
I can't get this wierd thought out of my mind. I'm not feeling good Karan." I looked up at him he was very lovingly watching me. "I'm feeling like I'm losing something."
"That's just your imagination. You'll never lose me. ....We'll be together... until our last breath. I promise." He said caressing my cheeks.
His eyes were soft and hard both at a time. There was tender love for me and determination for us. He was looking into my eyes to ensure me, to see if I believed what he said. I smiled to ensure him that I trust him.
He looked at my lips and I knew at that moment what he is thinking. My tilted my head a little towards him and he bent to fulfil our desire.
"Ahem" a clearing of throat startled me and I turned towards the person but Karan closed his eyes without moving. He got disturbed!
"Am sorry, I didn't know you were here." Akshay said. It's too bad that he saw us kissing..almost. I was actually embarrassed. "Me too." I uttered looking everywhere but not at him.
"I can see you guys are ready so I'll wait in the car." I said urgently as it came in mind as a place of hiding.
"Actually am doing some last minute packing as I am leaving early in the morning." Then only I noticed he has some photo albums and diaries in his hand.
"Why early? And why tomorrow? You all were leaving the day after tomorrow right?" I asked and turned to look at Karan.
"Yes. Only he's leaving tomorrow." Karan replied. And I turned towards Akshay again, cocked my neck and raised an eyebrow.
"Today after coming from college. I talked to my Father about... Me and Shruti." He said walking towards us and looking at my face for expressions. "And?" I asked holding my breath.
"And he... Agreed." He said smiling at me. "Wow... Does Shruti know about this? I am sooo happy for you both." I was now smiling and jumping like a silly. I forgot my embarrassment and lunged towards Akshay to hug him, only..to make the things fall of his hands in the process.
"Oh am sorry for that. But you know what am not at all." I started speaking slowly but shouted at last. If anyone hear me from outside they'll think that some clingy girlfriend is breaking up with his guy.
"I know. You don't have to be. But the thing is he wants to speak to me about my mother before talking to Shruti's family. I don't know what, but he sounded serious. That's why am leaving as soon as possible." We were collecting the fallen things when he said that all meanwhile I turned some pages of the album.
"It'll be ok you do...." I stopped. Because a more important thing came up. "Who's she?" I asked him showing a picture the same was framed in the photo stand that he used to keep on his bedside table.
So that's why she seemed familiar.
