Priyanka's p.o.v

It was Monday. I was hopeless to see my loved one. I was unwilling to go to college but there was no reason to stay back at home either. As I entered the classroom, I finally saw Haider and Ella.

I rushed forward and hugged him tightly. Time stopped for me. I could feel his heart beating. I was wrapped around his shoulders for five minutes, the whole classroom gapping at us. He held me in his arms strongly. Our eyes closed. Not an inch gap was between us.

"I love you sweetheart. You're my heartbeat. Thanks for coming back." I gasped.

He looked at me, pausing the natural process of blinking his eyes. Something was surely wrong. He always gave me sweet replies whenever I said anything. He always returned a 'I love you too' after my 'I love you'. Why is he silent this time ? Is he still holding a grudge against my mother, indirectly against me?

Before I could utter anything, he burst into tears. Again a long hug continued, this time even more stronger and tighter. I kissed him on the forehead and asked the reason again and again. He continued to sob. I wept his tears.

Haider's p.o.v

How can I address the peril I am stuck in?
Anyhow, gathering some courage, I initialized to narrate it to her ( sobbing ) :

"I know it may be difficult for you to accept. It's even more for me but... my father and mother got separated. According to the court orders, we - Ella and me - are forced to live with our mother. My mother has decided to shift to America where our grandma, our mother's mother, lives. I am sorry to say but I am shifting to America forever..."

I rested my head on my beloved's shoulder. I love you more than I can express. I am sorry. I looked upon her; her eyes started to shut... she was unconscious. I held her in my arms before she could fall to the ground. I shaked her but there came no response.

The bell for 8 o'clock rang. Oh My God, I gasped. What should I do now? The sir came inside, all the students took their seats except for me and Ella. No one else cared. I addressed the issue to sir and he to the administration. An ambulance was called. As per my request, I and Ella were allowed to go with Priyanka.

We reached the hospital and she was taken to the doctor in emergency. We were requested to wait outside. After half an hour, the doctor came outside the doors of ward and narrated to us that Priyanka had had a migraine attack due to intense pressure of stress in her mind and that we could meet her as she was conscious now. I dashed through the gates of the ward and hugged my Priyanka. Today really seemed the worst day, a black stamp had been put on our fates unfortunately. She mumbled the following words, stuttering,

"Haider, I won't be able to live without you. Please don't go back again. My life had always been incomplete. You completed me. You erased that feeling of blankness from inside me. I couldn't bear a week's time, forever is impossible. Either kill me or don't go. I won't be able to stay without you. You've become my life, my everything. It's just two months of our relationship and it seemed amazing. You made me feel comfortable. I can't imagine how amazing would be a whole life with you, full of ease and comfort. Please be with me, pleaseee. I beg you!"

Tears rolled down her cheeks. Her eyes red. I found no soothing words to heal her pain. This was the bitter truth that I was leaving. I was unable to stop my mother and father from separating. I lost. At the end, a man also cries.

As per the hospital's rules and policies, the injured person's parents, means Priyanka's parents, were called to hospital. Her mother took 5 minutes to come. I and Ella continued to make her feel relaxed. I could say no more, Priyanka wasn't in a state to bear any of the further affliction.

As the doctor addressed the reason of unconsciousness to Priyanka's mother, I was busy hugging her. Suddenly, out of nowhere, her mother slapped me hard on my face. She started screaming on me, her voice echoing throughout the corridor.

"I told you bastard to stay away from my daughter! I insulted you that day but youu! You still crossed your limits! Only because of you, my daughter is over here. Only because of you! Why don't you understand once to go away forever from her life!"

Priyanka's p.o.v

My mother's words circulated in my mind. 'To go away forever from her life'. My mother's wish came true. Now he's going forever. Nor can he stay by any chance now neither can I stop him by any means. Our fate has decided to do this. I hate my mother. Why can't she see me happy? Why can't I choose my life? I am not a one year old baby whose mother has to decide everything for her. Come on, this is injustice. Maybe she's jealous. The reason she couldn't find a good husband, she now wants the same for me so that I won't ever be happy too.

Haider was looking at me, his eyes dark red, his eyelashes wet. I could just whisper a good bye forever.

I called him closer and we both hugged. I hugged Ella too. I uttered a nervous  Good Bye to them. Ella repeated the same. Haider, after a long pause, also stuttered Good Bye, Love. I promised him to always remember him and never ever to love anyone else. I also expressed various clauses of gratitude to him. He did the same.

And with tears in their eyes, away they went.
