“When there is love, there is life.”

~~

S h r a d d h a

There was a lightening in the sky making me to look up. A rain drop fell on my face and within a few seconds it began to pour down hard on us.

If it was other day, I would have laughed and danced in rain.But not today.

My knees lacked support as I fell on the ground burying my head with my hands and crying silence silently, my tears mixing with the rain.

Kriti sat beside me unable to speak anything.

“I love him.I can't live without him.” I kept murmuring.

These days I faked happiness.I always lied to myself that I was happy but in the corner of my heart I knew I wasn't happy.

"It hurts a lot,Kriti."I said.

"Hurts what?"She asked.

"Not because I lost him but because it's entirely my damn fault.This will completely eat me out."I said my voice cracking.

"No it isn't.It's all my fault."She said but I didn't reply and stared into almost nothing.

Something hit me.

"When did he leave.....I mean at what time?"I asked.

"Don't know the exact time......maybe he left an hour back."She said.

"And,took the last bus, here."I said.

The last bus is around 8pm."I said and looked at my watch.

7:40.

“There is still twenty minutes left.I will go and find him.” I said and got up.

“How can you reach to the bus stop. Even, if you go by vehicle you need around forty five minutes to get there.” She said, pointing tonthe obvious but I was in deep shit to listen to the reality.

“I will try.” I said, getting up and looking at her.

“Don't worry. I forgive you for your mistake.” I said.

“Thank you Shraddha.You are such a kind hearted person I ever know.” She said.

I smiled and waved goodbye and began to walk. —I took out my phone and called Ajith and informed him to come near the cafe soon.

In less than five minutes he came.

"What happened?"He asked.

"I will tell you everything now let's go near the bus station."I said.

He started driving and the rain was hitting on us harder than each second.

I explained everything to him on the way.

Tears welled up in my eyes again when I remembered about the past incidents.

The day when I first met and slapped him for kissing me and later falling in love with him within a short period of time.

Just then I felt everything was going good he ditched me in front of the whole school.

Meeting him later after two years didn't please me much as I thought he was still the same.

But he changed but I suspected him everytime.He came for me but I left him thinking he betrayed me for the second time.

If only I had listened to Varun for once, then everything would have been good.
