"Anika, I want to share a very important thing with you! This has been inside me, since long, and I find, today, the best day to tell it to you. Atleast face me once, please turn back." Expressed shivaay. He, had decided to confess about his undying love to her, and and everything else he could, to make her believe on it. He spoke, all these words, out of utmost sincerety, with a rose, a red one; Anika's favorite, cleverly hidden by his back.

She turned around, and the scene shook shivaay: her eyes were puffed, different, who had their chirpiness lost today, she was crying! Wait, what?

As soon as he heard her sobs, the rose in his hand fell down just the way his dreams would, soon.

"Anika, why are you crying? What happened? Oh My god, did I do something wrong? Please tell me!" These were the words that left a panicked shivaay's mouth, who was utterly shocked to see Anika in this state. Has de done something wrong? So why was she crying? This was the question that roamed inside his head.

After several attempts of him, composing her, and trying to calm her down, Anika sobered down a bit. Heavily breathing, she finally decided to tell shivaay of the dreaded news.

"Anika dear, I just got informed about your dad's retransfer to delhi. We will leave for India soon. Finally, after 3 years! Even your secondary education is over, that's even better! What do you think about it?" Her mother's words shocked Anika, to such an extent that she stood rooted to her place.

Her eyes stopped blinking. She, stationery.
Was, all that she heard just now true? She asked her mom, again, in hope of knowing that all this was false, but alas, her hope drowned in the dead sea. A lone tare escaped her eyes, which was almost after a very very long time. She was unable to comprehend the reasons behind it: was she sad because of having to be going back, or something more.

Shivaay was left devastated to hear this. Why was he so damn unlucky! When he was happy in India, he came here, sad. When he found Anika, she was broken. When they were best of friends since long, and might've turned into a beautiful couple too, fate played it's trick, yet again, crushing shivaay heart under it's shoe.

"What are you even saying Anika? How can you go back? You've been here since 3 years now! Why! Is it really confirmed? Why is this happening all of  a sudden? What about your dream of graduating from 'L'Université'?Didn't you tell it to your parents that you don't want to leave this place and go back there? You denied it, right? " These were the words that mananaged to come out of shivaays mouth. He was perplexed. It wouldn't be too much to say that, he lost everything, in a moment. Sudden fear encircled his heart. What is their future? What would happen to them?

They decided to go to a silent, alone, place. Where they could talk better.

The rose lay there, still, crushed the same way as his heart.

And Anika failed to notice, why shivaay had worn her favourite royal blue suit, on a regular meet.
