[Aditi]
Oh shit! How could I be so dumb?! Prakriti caught me!!! Now if she says this to Darshan then... He will kill me.. Oh god!! I know I should have said her the truth but it was nothing important to inform! As I entered the class, I saw Prakriti talking to Darshan animatedly flying her hands in the air while Darshan glowered at me. "Come with me ", he said dragging me with him. I looked at Prakriti once and she was smiling contentedly. I knew what was waiting for me! He dragged me to the corner of the corridor. "What the hell is wrong with you? Did u lose ur brain when ur dad left u? If something would have happened to you then? ", he started scolding me. I hung my head low and answered, "I was just passing by and saw Prakriti... So... ", he cut me off "So u thought to show some heropanti ". I just kept my head hanging. He slid his hand to my waist and pressed the injured part pulling me closer to him. It pained.. But less than betrayal. "Listen Miss Aditi Verma... Do whatever you want but stay away from me and Prakriti ", he said and pressed the injured part more. "Darshan.... It's paining... Leave me", I said forcefully. "And the pain I am getting? What about that? ", he asked. "It will be healed... Someone will be there to take up my place", I replied. "OK.. Then.. Just go", he said jerking me off... Stranding me to myself... Leaving me all alone just like that 15 years old Alia Singhania who was stranded alone and was killed by her own people. I bunked two classes and sat in the fire exit stair case. I hung my head low and allowed the warm tears to trickle down my face. Finally, I got up from my place and walked out. I took my books for the next class and was moving to my class when my head started paining like hell. It was happening more frequently nowadays. I took out the medicines from my bag and swallowed them down. Feeling better, I went to my class. I sat in my usual place and I was thinking to turn myself back to the Aditi Verma, I knew. Dark souled and alone stricken.

I just couldn't bear it. I didn't know what was going through me and why but I just wanted to get away from everything and everyone... I repeat everything and everyone.

[Prakriti ]
Did I do the right thing to Aditi? I mean she is so fragile yet strong, delicate yet hard and too naïve and shy. While I was walking through the corridor, I stumbled upon someone and fell into Darshan's embrace. We had an mere eye lock. I didn't bother to look at the person because right now, he was with me. The loud hooting and cheers of the students dragged us apart. I looked around for Aditi but she was nowhere. I searched for her everywhere but she was nowhere. I began to cry. "What happened Prak? ", Darshan asked. "I can't find her D... Where she must have gone? ", I asked between my hoarse sobs. "Who 'she'? ", Darshan questioned. "Aditi, Darshan! How come u can forget her? ", I asked in annoyance. "Aghh... Just forget her... Think that she is no more with us", he said coldly. Did anything happen wrong between them? Am I the reason for it? Thousands of questions and only one person to answer... Yes Aditi...  I know she won't spill out the beans easily but I can try.

After college, I was walking back with Darshan when I spotted her. She was standing near a guy with a cigarette in her hand. "Let's go ", Darshan nudged me by my elbow away from her. "At least let's say hi to her", I complained. "Do u think she is in that state? ", he answered in anger and I looked again at her. Her eyes were red... Extremely red, shrunken to small balls, puffed up and swollen. I felt miserable... Much more than I really was... Or may be I wasn't at all miserable. But she... She had no one with her and the people who mattered to her were away because of me... I couldn't help the feeling of guilt to creep inside me and swallow me. I hope everything turns out good for her...
