[Aditi]
It got awkward for me after that night with Darshan. Unknowingly I kept him avoiding. He woke up next day pressing his head and asked me, "What had happened last night? ". "Nothing... U just passed out... ", I lied because he surely had forgotten about everything. I was glad about it... May be I wasn't. "R u sure? ", his eyebrows crooked up. "Yes... ", I answered. "Okay...", he said and went away from my tent.

He didn't remember anything.
He DIDN'T remember anything.
The way he sent shivers down my spine, the way butterflies exploded in my stomach with his touch, the way our breaths hitched... He didn't Remember anything...

"Aditi... ", Prakriti called me. "Aditi... Actually as u know that I and Darsh are getting married... So we will go to my home straight away from here... So... Umm... Will u come with us? ", she asked. My heart skipped a beat. Seeing ur love being someone else's is very painful plus.... There will be my ex family too! "No.... Actually I'm having some work.... Some other time... ", I denied because I ain't that strong to see Darshan become someone else's. "What no? U r coming... And I don't know anything else ", Darshan adamantly spoke. "But Darshan... Try to understand... There are so many meetings... And in ur absence I have to handle them... ", I softly said. "Okay.. So if u r going for office then I will too come with u", he said being adamant. "Darshan, what r u saying? It is your wedding... U need to go... ", I tried convincing him. "Then u come with us... ", he repeated. "Darshan! ", I scowled. "Okay... Fine! ", I gave up. He instantly broke into a baby smile. The one which forces my heart to flutter... The one which forces me to be happy... The only reason I am processing this is his happiness!

I never said him what happened that night because.... He was happy with Prakriti and I didn't want to ruin his happiness.

I was standing in front of the humongous mansion of Raj Singhania, a.k.a, my father. As Prakriti and Darshan got down, nearly the whole family engulfed them. It was all filled with 'Oh my god... How r u? ' , 'U have grown so big' and 'How was the journey'. I stood a few steps away from them with a bag hanging down my shoulder. It looked like a whole city was surrounding someone great. Seeing him, my face lit up in a smile. I dragged my eyes to the ground and leaned against the car. Is this what he wanted to show me? "Aditi! ", I heard a shout and jerked my head in the direction of the sound. It was Darshan. "Come! ", he signalled and I paced towards him sighing heavily. I hope no one will recognise me. "Who is she? ", a familiar voice reached my ears. I looked at the face. Netra Didi.

Shit shit shit!

She might recognise me. "Umm.. She is Aditi Verma... My friend! ", Prakriti said and she mouthed a 'oh'. Then I was dragged by Darshan inside the house. Nothing had changed except the colours of the world... They were purple when I last saw them and now they were pink. Prakriti and Darshan were greeted with rituals and I trailed behind them. "Who is she? ", a stern voice which scared my soul asked. "She is Aditi Verma, my friend", Prakriti again muttered to DAD.  Not mine but hers... Because I don't have a family. "So this is your room! ", Darshan showed me. "Nice na? ", he asked. I smiled in reply. "So get fresh... We have a lot of work! ", he said. "And take proper rest! ", he yelled while going.

God!! I love this man... But he loves someone better than me!!
