the rollercoaster of emotions.
― ✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* ―

THE NEXT DAY EVERYTHING was bizzare for Karan. He didn't know what to do. Last night, he didn't sleep. He was just staring at the blank, blunt, white ceiling on top of him. He realised many thing, while looking at many things. One; he fucked up. Two; he fucked up. Three; he fucked up. He was chanting 'shit' all over, while walking back and fro.

And suddenly, a idea struck in his mind. That idea, which may change his life. His character, his reputation and every thing in him. He's going to talk to the person, whome he cares a lot apart from his mom―Sarla Arora. His second mom. His hands trembled while dialing the call to Sarla Arora. It's been seven years, since he called.

“Hello?”

Seven years, since he heard that voice.

“Who's on the line? Hello?”

“Mumma.” He spoke ever so slowly, with every emotion in his soul. Never did he spoke to his mother like this. He was guilty and ashamed to even call her maa. Did he even deserve to call her aunty? No. Certainly not. Because, he was just him. Karan 'brat' Luthra.

“K-karan?” Sarla Arora whispered as if she's going to cry in any moment now. Seven years, since she heard his voice. Seven years, since he had called her maa. For the third time in these years; he sobbed. He let out a sob. His sob broke Sarla's heart once again.

“Yes, Maa. It's none other than, Karan.” He said softly and smiled.

“I thought, you forgot about me, Karan. Where were you? I tried to contact you many times, but everytime; I failed.” Sarla started her blabbering about how she missed him, how much she tried to contact him. But not even once she asked―why did you leave my daughter for your own selfish reasons? All he waited for that question. When the question will be shoot and when will a stabbing pain will erupt in his chest. But, the question was never asked.

“Mum, why are you so nice to me? Why are you doing this, when you should hate me and hang the call when you knew it was me. Why are you being so nice to me, when I deserve nothing, but hate!?” He questioned and sighed slowly.

He heard a chuckle from the other line, “I'm not angry on you, Karan. And I will never will. Because I know you did for a reason; which isn't a selfish reason. But, yes, I'm very sad and dissapointed in you. You should've said the reason at least to Preeta. You don't know how much she suffered and even Amy―” she trailed off, as she knew she was crossing the boundaries, Preeta has drawn. She was not allowed to utter a word about Amyra to Karan or anyone related to Luthra house.

“And, what?” Karan urged Sarla to reveal the name she was going to say.

“And, nothing. I said, nothing, okay? Take care Karan. I miss you, so much.” Sarla Arora started blabbering and karan sighed.

“Mum, at least tell me who's the special person that came into Preeta's life after I left?” Karan asked so desperately that Sarla couldn't stop herself, but feel pity for these two souls. Her mouth was shut with the promise. All she wanted to do was to tell everything to Karan about Amyra. And she knows; she can't do it, no matter what.

“I'm not supposed to say this, Karan. But; I'm telling you this and don't even dare to say a word about this to Preeta. Yes, there's a special person in her life; who's very important to both of you. And yeah―that person's connected to you in the way you can't expect.” Sarla spoke and Karan knew he can't get more information than this.

“Thank you, Mum. Thank you for understanding me, for knowing me more than I do . . . Love you.” He said with a big, lop-sided smile.

“Apna khayal rakhna, [Take care of yourself], Karan.” she hang the call and Karan nodded. As he was about to put his mobile down; there was a ting on the mobile. He squinted and opened the text.
