"Wish i can do that, But i can't right now", Arjun said sadly,

"Why you can't do that", Maya asked ferociously,

"How do you want me to make Jayson talk to you", Arjun asked,

"Tell him that i love him so much, tell him that i can't live without him, Tell him that you and Dhuruv screwed up my life and I never cheated on him", Maya said,

"Why don't you tell it yourself", This time it was Aditi, She asked with a grin,

"Is my life so funny, Why is she laughing at me?" , Maya thought,

"How am i supposed to, when he is not listening to me", Maya said, 

"I have listened already", said Jayson from no where,

"Is this a dream, why am i hearing his voice", Maya thought,

When Jayson came out from Pooja's room, with Pooja, Nivi and Sowmya,

Maya couldn't do anything but feel lonely,

They are all together,

Its me who is alone now,

She held her tears, too tight,

"Hey Jay boy!", Aditi ran and hugged him,

Aditi was in same school with Jayson since her kindergarten, but they are so close,

Maya never knew,

She felt more lonely and she started walking away,

"When no one wants me, When no one is there for me, Why should i argue, I can survive alone", Maya thought.

She heard a footstep and she turned back to see Jayson,

"Wont you talk to me, Baby", Jayson asked,

"I want to but ...", Maya's stumbled,

He held her and said, "Baby, I am sorry, I should have always been with you, I made you miss me, Its all my mistake, but i promise i will never let all this happen again",

Maya didn't have anything to say, absolutely nothing, she was just staring at him blankly,

"Come lets go, girls are waiting for you, They are bothered so much", Jayson said to Maya,

"Do they even bother about me", Maya thought,

She just walked with Jayson,

"Finally you guys are together right", Aditi asked smiling,

Maya gave a weary smile, She wasn't convinced still,

"If i couldn't have come today,  you could have never come searching for me right?", Maya asked with tears in her eyes,

For this girls laughed, including Aditi,

"What's so wrong with them, don't they understand that, I am hurt", Maya thought,

Jayson pulled Maya to Pooja's room and showed, the suitcases,

"We Packed already! , We would have left today morning, if you wouldn't have come to Mumbai", Arjun said.

"How do you know that, I came to Mumbai?", Maya asked,

"Through Aditi", Arjun replied,

"O! from that call", Maya said,

"And how do you get the letter", Maya asked Jayson,

"Pooja gave me ", Jayson replied

"Does she even do good things, Isn't she angry anymore?", Maya thought,

"Enough of questioning now, lets do that later", Pooja said staring at Maya,

"I need to tell you something...", Maya started talking to Pooja,

"About me right! ", Arav said,

"What the hell is happening here?", Maya shouted,

"You guys are together i didn't even know", Maya shouted again when Arav held Pooja's hand,

"Its all because of Jayson", Pooja answered,

"Will this guy, ever run out of tricks", Maya thought,

"We missed you so much, Sorry for everything ", Pooja said hugging Maya,

"I am sorry too", said Sowmya,

Maya was not angry on her anymore,

"Group hug", shouted Nivi,

Maya, Nivi, Pooja and Sowmya group hugged,

Then Maya pulled Aditi in the group hug!

"Can we go now, its getting late", shouted Arjun impatiently,

"Go change its Holi, Baby", said Jayson,

Aditi borrowed dress from Nivi, since they were of same size, 

When all girls came out in white,

Jayson, Arjun and Arav was also standing in white,

"Wait let him come", Sowmya said,

"Now who?", Maya asked,

"Raki ! ", Sowmya said happily,

They all said " yes!" in unison,

After a short meet with Raki, they all started playing with colors,

Throwing Red, Blue, Orange powders in each others faces, 

"Ma, Happy Holi ! I love you and I miss you, I miss Akash too", Maya said in phone,

They were all playing still with colors,

"Its my world, It has so many colors, Universe cannot be of Black and White always, Likewise

Life cannot have same emotion always, We will have differences, Tears, Happiness everything!

But i will never miss my Family, Friends and Jayson in life's game!", Maya thought,

"Baby what happened?", Jayson asked,

"Nothing! " she said and threw color powder in his face and started running,

"Now my turn!", Jayson said and ran behind her.
