The Leave Of Love

Chapter - 13

" Fikr ki raat me tu sukoon ki neend he
Patjhar ke mausam me tu baarish ki pehli boond he."

Ishita's POV

That day at about 12:30 a.m. my phone suddenly beeped.
I wasn't sleeping so I checked it.
It was a message from Rohan.

For 4 yrs his name was saved in my WhatsApp contact.
For 4 yrs whenever I used to type 2 or 3 words to send him, I used to erase it.

I didn't had the guts to text him.
And finally that day when he texted me our chat started for the first time.

For the first few minutes it was a normal conversation.
But when I told him that I wanted to say him something, he replied "For 4 yrs u couldn't gather ur guts to say what what u wanted to tell me. Now plz spit it out Maharani ji."

I couldn't understand how come he came to know about that?
Was he able to read my mind?

" I wanted to say that, I HATE YOU!" I typed while chuckling.

" I know that u can never hate me, so now plz tell what u actually wanted to tell" he replied.

I smiled while reading it. He knows me so well!

So I finally texted " What would you do if I die??"

"B*****d, why r u imagining such stupid things? U r making my mood off now!" He replied.

Even his slangs seemed cute to me!

"Rohan, I just wanted to tell u that plz don't leave me again. I need u!"

" Pagli, don't make urself dependent on others. U should be ur own need nd no one else."

I wondered how he manage to utter such kind of heavenly words?

Our chats continued for a few minutes. And after every minute he was asking me the same question "Are u feeling better now?", "Have u got ur oxygen now?"

After chatting for about 3 hours he finally texted "Ishita, don't ruin your name for achieving 'things' which is not possible!" and ended the chat.

I realised that, by the 'thing' he meant our relationship.

Rohan's POV

When I used to talk to Ishita in the call I realised that she was somewhere still broken nd she needed someone to join it again.
Hence that day I texted her in WhatsApp.
I knew that for 4 yrs she wanted to send me some texts but she wasn't having the courage!

While chatting when she suddenly asked me some questions regarding her death, maa kasam thappar kha jati agar saamne hoti to!!

I kept on her asking if she was feeling better after talking to me coz I intended to sprinkle some cold water on her depressed mind.

Though I kept on asking her if she was feeling better but actually I got my oxygen after chatting with her and yes, she shouldn't come to know about that!

Ishita's POV

Aku had joined my Chemistry tution from September.
It was the only place after school where we used to burst our hearts to each other.

That when I reached the tution, Rohan called me.
I picked the call nd we talked for some 45 mins as our teacher was late!

Before ending the call he said that he would meet me after my tution gets over.
It goes without saying that I was on the ninth heaven after hearing that!

Though it was not the first time I was meeting him except in school coz 2 months ago he gave me a surprise by suddenly appearing outside my Physics tution!

As soon as the tution got over I dragged Akata along with me nd came out of the coaching centre.
I asked her if she would come with me to meet him but she denied as she was having some important work so I went alone.

I walked to the main road where he was supposed to come nd found that he was already waiting there for me with his scooty.

I went near him nd looked at my watch. It was 8:30 p.m.

We together spent time for about 30 mins.

I can't explain how I was feeling at that time. I observed every inch of him. His eyes! How can a person have such perfectly shaped eyes?? Though they were resting behind a spectacle.

His tiny tiny beards! How cute were they! And how perfectly they were suiting on his cheeks.

Why did u left me jaan? If u had to leave me then why did u loved me Roh? Can't u see my sufferings without u, without ur love?? I wanna ask him loudly but I controlled myself.

He dropped me home nd before leaving he again asked if I was feeling better.

Actually 3 months ago, maa was diagnosed with ovarian cancer - benign..

Though doctors said that she would be totally cured but still I became depressed.

I nd maa didn't had a good relation with 'baba'.
It was only for the sake of my 10 yrs old younger brother that we're still living with him in the same house.

Hence, I became numb when I got to know about maa's illness.

Pressure of studies, maa's health, nd Rohan's leave was just making me mad. I just wanted to ran away from all those!

That day in our chat I informed Rohan about maa's condition nd I think that's why he was trying to make me feel better.
