The Leave Of Love

Chapter - 8

"Yeh raaste alag ho jaye
Chalte chalte hum kho jaye.
Mein phir bhi tumko chahunga
Iss chahat me mar jaunga
Mein phir bhi tumko chahunga."

Ishita's POV

The boards exam of Std.X got over. We passed on to Std.XI. My frnds undertook different streams nd I didn't knew anyone from my stream so I was again feeling lonely in class. I couldn't make frnds yet in the new section.

It was at that time when my bestiee, my heartbeat Akata Sarkar entered my life.

I still remember how our frndship started from a silly matter.

It was the second day of school after the ending of summer vacation.
As usual I was sitting in my seat when I saw her entering the class. I had seen her in school earlier too. We used to travel in same bus for school. But we never talked nd hence when we took the same stream she was a kind of stranger to me.
But I don't know what made me to ask her to come to my seat when I saw her entering the class.

Before she could sit in any other seat I walked up to her nd asked "Akata, would u like to sit with me?". She agreed.

That was the starting of a historical 'bestieeship'. We used to share each nd everything about us.

But......at first I hesitated to tell her about Rohan because I thought that she must be studious nd sincere nd she would probably not like to hear about my relationship with Rohan. But I was wrong. Jab mujhe pata chala ki yeh bhi meri category ki he I let my heart out to her.
I used to eat her mind talking about Rohan. And she used to listen to me patiently.

I didn't saw Rohan in school for few weeks. When I asked about him to Ayan he said that Rohan had failed the boards exam nd he had to give the compartment exam.
I prayed so that he passes it.

After some days I heard that he had passed it but he had left our school nd joined another school.
Only this thing was yet to happen to add in my sorrow. For 4 yrs I didn't talked to him properly but atleast I was able to see him everyday nd now that last source of pleasure was also gone!

He was that star in my darkest night whom I know I can never reach. But atleast he was one nd only that diamond in my whole dark and silent sky  which used to fill my eyes nd heart with happiness!!

I prayed to God so that he comes to our school for once coz I wanted to talk to him for the last time before he leaves this school.
Aur khuda ki rehmiyat se mujhe wo mauka mil gaya.

That day when the departure Bell rang, I could feel Rohan's presence in the school. My sixth sense told me that he had came to school. I hurriedly came to the ground floor dragging Akata along with me.

My eyes started searching him everywhere.

And there he was! Sitting in one of the benches of the Assembly Hall.

He was dashing in his black shirt and grey jeans. It seemed as if he was also waiting for me. As soon as our eyes met he called me.
I again felt nervous. I don't know why I always used to fell numb whenever he used to call me.

So at first I didn't wanted to go near him but when Akata forced me I went up to him.

As soon as I went near him he started to explain his reason of leaving the school. He said that he had joined a group for  bicycle nd bike stunts nd that made me happy coz atleast he was doing something which he had been his strong passion since his childhood.
He said that as it was becoming a burden on his parents to run both his school nd bicycle stunts expenditure so he had to quit our school and join a cheaper school.

" Take care Ishita nd grow up!" he said and finally left.

After he left, I was feeling a lump choking my throat. I wanted to cry out loud coz I thought that it was probably my last meeting with him!!
