The Leave Of Love

Chapter - 12

"Mein rahoon ya na rahoon
Tum mujhme kahi baaki rehna.
Mujhe nind aye jo aankhri
Tum khwaabo me aate rehna.
Bas itna he tumse kehna."

Ishita's POV

I forgot to inform that Adrija had already joined my school in Std.XII. though our section was different.

For 2 months, I didn't had any contact with Rohan after he left the school.
I was craving to talk to him.

Adrija used to bring her phone to school nd hence one day when the school got over I asked her to call Rohan. I couldn't dare to call him through my phone in my home as a CCTV camera called 'maa' used to keep an eye on me 24×7.

So, Adrija gave me her phone nd I quickly dialled his number ( it goes without saying that his number was always kept memorized in my mind) nd called him.
I was afraid if he would scold me for calling him.
I started biting my nails like a nail cutter with my teeth as I was nervous.
It was the first time I called him.

He picked up the call. I kept the phone on speaker nd obviously he wasn't aware  of this fact.

- Hello
- Hello, Rohan?
- Yes, who r u?
- I.....I'm Ishita.
- Why have u called me?
- To talk to you.
- Ishita.......
- Plz Roh, don't scold me. I really wanna talk to u. I'm missing u Rohan! (My voice trembled as I sniffed).
- (Rohan laughed hard) Pagli, I wasn't scolding u. I was just asking how r u? Have u made frnds in new class?

I can't understand this boy! His actions nd reactions r unexpected in unexpected situations!! I thought that he would scold me for calling him but there he was in a good mood asking me whether I've made frnds in new class. He had not got periods I suppose! Then why his mood swings so frequently?

- I'm fine nd I've found a bestie in my new class, Akata.
- Is she there with u? Then plz give her the phone for a moment.
- Yeah sure!

I handed the phone to Akata.

- Hello, Akata here.
- Hii, I think Ishita had already told you about me. I want to talk to u about her.
- Yah sure, plz!
- She is too immature to differentiate between right nd wrong. So plz look after my pagli so that she doesn't gets into any trouble. Earlier, I used to be there with her but now in my absence I don't know what trouble she's calling upon herself!
- Obviously Rohan. Plz don't worry. I'll always be there with her.
- Is this ur phone?
- No, its Adrija's. One of our frnd. She's standing just beside us.
- Oh then plz give her the phone. I wanna talk to her.

After Akata gave the phone to Adrija, he said the same things to her too. Then he asked them to hand the phone to me.

- Ishita, look after yourself. Always look before u leap. Don't indulge yourself in any kind of trouble nd take care. And yes, don't miss me. Bye!
- Bye! (I smiled by observing his obsession bout me)

Before he could end the call, I heard that his elder sister Antara di was asking him about whose call it was.
"I was talking to my girlfriend di!" he replied.
And then he ended the call.

Strange! Isn't it??
He broke our relation 4 yrs ago but he still considered me his girlfriend??

Akata's POV

That phone call was enough for Ishu to melt for him again!
She almost cried with happiness.
She was an idiot, my Ishu!
But becoming an idiot for someone's love is acceptable in our society I suppose?
And we all know that love is blind.
Uske liye mental hospital kaafi nahi he. Uske liye to deewano ki mental hospital chahiye!!!😂😂
