Back to You - Sequel to Locked Away In Heart

Prologue

It's been a restless day followed by a restless night. It was well past midnight and sleep was nowhere near me. The kind of emotional stress and pain that I have been, I thought the moment I will hit bed it would be lights out for me. But here I am at 2 am sitting in my balcony looking at the dark sky for answers. 

Answers that were inside the deep corners of my heart but I was not ready to look at them. 

Not just yet.

I took a deep breath and looked at the sky again. Everything was so calm, so quiet-peaceful - the word that is suitable to describe this moment. Alas, everything wasn't calm and quiet inside me. There was a storm swirling in my heart that was just threatening to rip everything apart, someone's hopes and love. I wanted to stop it, wanted to do what's right to save someone but then I also didn't want to stop it. 

You understand the kind of dilemma I was in? 

Okay, let me ask you one question - have you ever been at a crossroad where both the choices are right? How do you decide which choice is more right, which path should you take? Because in life there are no right choices - the choices that are right for me are wrong for someone. The path that would bring happiness to me would bring heartbreak and sadness for someone else. 

And I know how crushing the heartbreak is, it feels like the end of the world. I have been there, on the brink but I have been brought back from that brink by one person.

The one person who holds the answers to all my questions, the same person who makes my world go around, even after all this time. In fact, especially after all this time. She makes my world go around and she knows it. 

I took a deep sigh and started counting stars to divert my mind off everything, off her. But who am I kidding, she is never off my mind. 

I looked at the moon and she crossed my mind, my vision again. I wonder sometimes what would have been my life if I hadn't seen her at the station and met her again in the elevator? Sure it would have been different, very different. I would still have been clueless, maybe would have even joined dad in the business or maybe I would have made something out of myself - come on we all can agree I am smart and talented. 

Life would have been different but I don't want any of that life that doesn't have her. Life is much better with her. 

"Chandni" I sighed and closed my eyes for a much-needed rest instead I went back in time when I thought all the pieces of life are finally falling back into the place and we all have got a closure. 

If only I knew how wrong I was.
