Chapter 34

Sometimes when it is extremely sunny and the scorching heat worns you out; all you want to do is get rid of the summer and enter into the pleasant autumn

For us Indians it is monsoon.

The arrival of monsoon marks end of heat and humidity and the gloom that is spread all around.

So was Sia's proclamation of love for me and even announcement of my non-confessed love, cherry on top the wedding on the cards

But it wasn't monsoon; it was only the dark clouds enveloping the sky announcing the rains that never showed up.

Exactly was my condition.

I have dried and drained out of my life..

The phone call was a warning bell a forecast that there would be no monsoon.

Even if there were it would only lead to floods or tornados of loss and destruction.

I was a jinx to happiness

Happiness and me were like opposition parties of Indian politics, not letting either of them to progress....

Accepting my fate and making sure not to drag anyone lese with the unfortunates' of my life, I might have marched out of Sia's house denying any sort of acquaintances or wedding wanting Sia to be safe

But I was still running around the streets in circles

I had no where to go

I had left my car at the hotel

I had been advised not to show up at the hospital.

With blurry eyes, tears freely rolling down I could faintly see faces, faces of dad, gran pa, my sister, Sia.....

All I wanted was them to be safe and secure

Sia ......

I freaked out on her.

I did not know how to put it.

I had been stupid

Dad was probably right.

I should have kept myself out of the whole scenario

Now the doomed phone call

It was stuck at the right time.

I was being crazy accepting the idea of marrying someone so amazing as Sia.

No I couldn't do that to her.

I cannot put her into danger.

Dad and gran pa were already in the vicious circle of my deeds. I have to protect them

Even my sister....

I immediately went into search section of my contacts "Dilip. I need a favor from you."

He was more than read to help

"Yes my sister in Dehradun. Yes high-level security. I would appreciate if it is discreet

"Sure don't worry about expenses. I just want her family to be safe."

"I cannot explain it to you now. It's a huge mess"

I did not realize I had walked up to a small green circle from the crossing in Delhi.

Falling on the floor, mobile still clutched in hand I started wailing

Wailing at the loss of a dear friend.

Friend? No she was more than that.

Hurt, disoriented and pained I looked at phone to take a glimpse, a final look of the happy face that I so accustomed to once I reached the hospital.
