◾‌They can communicate without words. His hand always find her and he's her crying shoulder.

She was standing in a corner with teary eyes. "I can't live in that house anymore. Everyday, everyday they fought with eachother Darshan. I can't take this anymore. I'm done.", She said in a broken voice.

He held her hand tightly, "Don't take this seriously. You know they always fight like this. And if you don't wanna live there anymore than take your clothes and shift to my house."

She looked at him, "Darshan."

"What Darshan? I know my name is Darshan. There is enough space, you can easily stay there."

He wiped her tears with his thumb and again held her hand. She hugged him tightly and cried on his shoulder.

_

◾‌None of them noticed a thing that they are jealous to see eachother with an another person.

"Hey Anny.", Ishaan came to her and hugged her softly.  Darshan was quietly glancing at them.

"There's something on your face.", Ishaan said.

"Where?", Anamika asked.

"Wait.", Ishaan brushed her cheek with his thumb.

Anamika smiled and said, "I don't think there is anything."

"Yes there is.", Ishaan said.

"Tell me what is it?", She asked.

"Your blush.", He smiled.

She blushed some more.

"Excuse us please.", Darshan said. Ishaan and Anamika got apart. Then Darshan grabbed her hand and dragged her aside.

"What happened?", She asked.

"What was that?", He asked.

"What?"

"Why did he call you Anny? Only I have the right to call you that. No one else.", He started walking towards the class.

"Darshan wait!", She ran behind him.

_

She's the one who can deal with his random outbursts.

"I don't want this relationship anymore. I'm done with you Darshan. It's over between us.", Kriti shouted on him.

Everyone was enjoying the drama in the common room of their college. Darshan only turned around and ran out of the room in a rush.

He went to the washroom. He slapped some water on his face. But the tears were still coming out from his eyes.

"Darsh!"

He looked at the mirror and saw the reflection of Anamika. He turned to her.

"Darsh..." She walked two steps in.

"What are you doing here? It's boy's washroom.", He told.

"Darshan I came to help...", She said.

"I don't need your help.", He shouted, "leave me alone."

"No I don't.", She went to him.

"Anny I said leave me alone.", He said again.

But she didn't react and hugged him only. At first he struggled to free himself from her but he fed up and hugged her back, he broke down hugging her.

_

◾‌He can't bear the thought of losing her.

"Hallo Anny?"

"Yah?"

"Where are you?"

"I'm in the car. I'll be at home in 2 minutes."

"Where are you now?"

"At the link road."

"Ok so call me when you'll reach home "

"Ok..."

Then Darshan heard a sharp and loud sound.  The sound of crashing cars.

"Anny...", Darshan shouted. But no reply came from the other side.

He almost threw the phone away and ran outside of his house. He took his bike and went to the link road. When he reached he found that a car was hit by a car. He couldn't think anything or do anything. He went to the car. He was searching for Anamika madly.
Was asking people about her.
Then his eyes fell on a girl. He ran to her and hugged her tightly.

"Darshan what are you doing here?", Anamika asked.

"Anny I just thought I lost you.", Tear scrolled down from his eyes.

_

◾‌He's strong enough to let her go.

She entered in his room. Darshan once looked at her and smiled, "Hey!"

She quietly sat on the bed. "What happened? Why are you looking so serious? Did you kill someone?", He teased her.

"Dad fixed my engagement date.", Anamika uttered.

He stopped for a moment then looked at her. He didn't want to smile but he did, "Finally you're going to engage with Ishaan. That's really good. I'm happy for you."

"You really are?", She questioned.

"Of course I'm. Congratulations.", He stood up and went to the washroom.

They both were not happy, both were crying silently. Because they couldn't understand what's exactly happening to them.

_

◾‌Her eyes easily find him...even when he wants to be invisible.

She can't picture her life without him that's why she want to go with him.

"Aunty where is Darshan?", Anamika asked.

"I don't know. I didn't see him from an hour.", His mother said.
Might be she knew where he was. She went to the roof straight and yes she found him.

"What are you doing here?", She asked while sitting next to him.

"None of your business. In fact what are you doing here?", He was angry, "Who told you I'm here?"

"No one has to tell me. I knew you're here.", His words made her angry too.

"You're leaving and you didn't even tell me.", She said.

"I don't need your permission to take decisions of my life.", He said back.

"But you could tell me at least."

"You never asked me before confirming your marriage with Ishan."

"I didn't even fix that Darshan, dad did."

"And you agreed?"

"I....", She stopped and took a deep breath in. "What happened to you? Why are you behaving like this?", She asked.

"I don't know. I don't know what happened to me. I just want to..."

"Leave?", She looked into his eyes.

"May be."

"I want to go with you.", She said.

"You can't Anny. You've to stay here. You're going to start a new life now.", He said and stopped.

"Why do you wanna come with me?", He asked again.

"Because I need you and now more than ever.", She said.

"I'm always with you."

"Promise me, we'll grow old together."

"Promise."

_

And they kept their promise. They grew old together, just not with eachother.

Now they had their own families, Husband-Wife, children. But still they couldn't understand the relationship between them. They were best friends, yes best friends. But only just best friend??
