Times have changed
Moments fade away
But you,
The only thought I can't push away
Even if its in a millennia to come
I still hope that one day
You and I
Will reunite and dance away
Under the heavy rain
And watch our pains go down the drain

**************************
Aaryan's POV
Hey guys its been years right?. Four years, many of you would be disgusted and hate me more but I don't care. This is a new me......
***************************
I sigh as I opened my eyes. I took a swift glance at the two figures besides me....... Innocent and childish.

Yeah after Zoe left I started sleeping around and doing drugs. I was just tired hoping that I will wake up one day and see her on my bed peacefully sleeping and had never left me.
I got up and went to shower, brushed my teeth and looked at the man in the mirror. Four years had made me turn into a man. I wasn't the childish baby that Zoe knew anymore. I was a man now.

I got out and met the girls awake already. I opened one of my drawers and brought out two bundles and threw it on them. Without much being said and a mutual understanding between us, they dressed quickly and scampered outta my room.

Was I being evil and wasting my time?.... ... Nah!

I dressed and went downstairs to meet a jolly Rukkayah serving breakfast.

Yeah she lives in this house and knows what is going on and she doesn't say a word about it.

I turned cold and heartless since Zoe left cause I felt heartless and wicked.

"Good morning sir". Whatever song she was singing earlier found its way outta her mouth.

I started eating my food not minding her greetings even though she was older than me.

"I'll take my leave now". She turned and walked away. Sometimes when I look at Rukkayah all I see is pity in her eyes. Pity for me and that was not what I needed.

I continued eating my breakfast uninterrupted which was spaghetti and meat ball sauce when my phone rang. I looked at the callers ID and found out it was dad

" Hello son". My dad's voice boomed over the phone.

"Good morning dad". I said while taking a break from my breakfast.

"How prepared are you for the trip. I could send someone to take your place". He sounded concerned. So I happened to go to Italy where my dad's phone business was. I was handed over the company.

"No I can handle it". I replied. "How's mum?". I knew the answer would remain the same.

"She's fine. She's at Lima's". Well after I left Zoe, my mum was angry and disappointed at me. She disowned me and till date doesn't talk to me. I call her at times although she doesn't refuse my calls, she just answers me plain. She doesn't pray for me if I go for visits. The only thing which could make her whole was for me to get back to Zoe.

"Oh". Was all I could say. Lima got married two years back and she has a male child.

With that I hung up the call and finished my food. Italy here I come.............

*Time skip*

"Where's my food. I'm famished". I asked khadeejarh.

"What food?". She asked not even paying attention to me. She crossed her legs and sat comfortably while her nails were fixed and painted red by a pedicurist.

"What do you mean by what food?. Is this not my house?". I asked while looking back at the door. Could it be that I missed my way?. But she's here and that means this is my house
