Short Stories On DARSHAN RAVAL 💙

Broken 💔

"It's ok Kavya I can manage by myself.", Nisha took up the glass of orange juice from the table and said over the phone.

"C'mon, what do you think of me?", Sipping the juice she said.
Meanwhile she heard the door bell rang.

"Ok just now chill, someone is on the door. I'll call you back. Bye", Nisha hung up the phone with a smile and then walked to the door. As she opened the door the smile of her lips faded. She saw him standing in front of her. His head was down as the door opened he looked up to her.

Nisha was shocked enough to find him here after such a long time.

"Hi!", Darshan tried to smile.
Nisha moved aside asking him to come inside.

He slowly entered and she closed the door.

"How are you?", Darshan tried to make a conversation.

"I'm good. Actually better.", She said.

Then she asked directly, "Why are you here?"

Darshan licked his lower lip and said in hesitation, "I...I came to see you."

"Really? And why do you came to see my after such a long time, suddenly?", She asked faking an anger.

"Nisha I came to apologize.", He said taking a step towards her.
Nisha chuckled in sarcasm.

"I am sorry. I'm so sorry Nisha!", He said in a low voice.

"For what you're actually sorry Darshan? For leaving me? Or for falling for somebody else?", She looked into his eyes, "Or for something else?"

"For everything.", His voice broke.

"Isn't it great that suddenly after 8 months you felt sorry and came here. Why do you even feel sorry, you told our relationship was a mistake, remember.", She gulped hard.

"I was wrong. I didn't understand. But you're brave enough to take your own decisions.", He uttered.

"Of course. Because I can't kill a life that you named as a mistake.", She said back.

"You know what drag you here.", She looked at him properly.

"Your guilt. As soon as you found out that the girl you left oneday is pregnant with you baby now, you ran to here. You didn't come for me, you came for yourself. Because the guilt inside of you is eating you now. I know you Darshan, I know the whole of you.", Tear trickled in her eyes.

"Why didn't you tell me before?", He asked.

"Why would I tell you?", She asked loudly, "You abandoned me. You walked away and never looked back.

You found peace in somebody else's arms and you left me without even thinking for a single moment. I begged you to stay but you didn't. And now you're asking me why I didn't tell you. You lost all the rights to know the moment you walked away from me."

"But it's our baby.", His voice was broken enough.

"It's my baby. And you don't have any rights on it.", She uttered.

"Nisha!", He pleaded.

"Just don't show this fake care, you didn't thought for a while before leaving me. Now when you got to know about the baby all of a sudden all the care, love and sympathy grew inside of you. But let me tell you, at that moment I needed you, I wanted you to stay. But you didn't. And now I don't need you anymore.", Nisha breathed in heavily.

"But I want to come back, I want to make it right.", He said.

"That's the problem Darshan, you want. You wanted to leave me you did and now you want to come back. And what about me? Do you ever asked me what I want? You just can't come back for the baby's  sake, I'll not let you."

They both became quite for a while.

"I'm finally happy Darshan. Please let me be. Don't mess up things again by walking in. Me and my baby both don't need you. We're better off you. So from the way you've walked in, you can leave.", Nisha said holding her 8 months baby bump.

The tear escaped from Darshan's eyes, he quickly wiped that off.
Before walking away he hugged her for one last time.

And that day he hugged her a little bit softer than before as if hugging her tighter would break the love which was already broken.

He walked away from her again. Just the difference was at that time she was broken and now he was. He knew that life always paid back but it would be this much bad he never thought.
