The Leave Of Love

Chapter - 14

" Baaton ko teri hum bhula na sake
Hoke judaa hum na judaa ho sake.
Dil me he zinda har ghari tu kahi
Hoke judaa hum na judaa ho sake"

(Ishita's POV continues)

After he dropped me home, I directly went inside my room, locked the door nd started dancing with joy. After all I met him after such a long time.

At about 11 p.m. I checked my phone before sleeping.
I opened WhatsApp nd tapped on Rohan's name.

I know that he had done many unexpected things in his life nd also to me, but what I observed after tapping on his name was just........!!
He had blocked me. But why??

That whole night I couldn't sleep thinking that what I have done that he had to block me.
He was there gossiping with me in a cool mind even before 2 hours. Then what happened in those 2 hours that he had to block me??

Next morning, when I went to school Adrija told me that Rohan had called her the previous night at about 10 p.m. nd told her that I shouldn't try to contact him any further nd should try to forget him!

Rohan's POV

After I came to know about Ishita's maa's illness, I made up my mind to meet her.
I could understand what kind of situation nd stress she was facing at that time.

That evening the meeting with her went all well. But the thing that bothered me was the love nd affection that she was still having for me.
I realised that I have again made a mistake.
I was again making an injustice to her.
I shouldn't have met her. That meeting again raised the suppressed feelings in her for me.

And at that time I decided that I would keep myself away from her, chahe kitna bhi dard kyu na ho!!

And hence, I told Adrija to tell her that she shouldn't keep any contact with me further nd I blocked her too.

I know that it was hurting her like hell, but it was hurting me more than her.

I also knew that if I don't hurt her at that time then she have to face more pain in future.

But what about my pain? Wasn't I hurting myself by keeping her away from me?

She was that shadow to my body who never leaves me nd always follows me wherever I go. I knew that it will only leave me when my body would be standing in darkness. And I wanted to create that darkness for myself.
Isn't it an irony? Coz love is always about things in light nd brightness and is supposed to enlighten the lives of those who are living in it. But here in my life, love requires darkness to survive!! It is really allergic towards brightness!
Here I realised that it isn't necessary that love would always have to be 'white', love can also have the colour of 'black'!!

And yes, I have to enter the darkness irrespective of all the pains I get from it.

I can bear thousand pains for her!

* Rohan's POV ends*

After that, Ishu too blocked Rohan out of rage.
But obviously that didn't stopped her from still loving him.

On the other hand, Shivam joined the tution where Ishu nd Akata used to study.

Something was left incomplete in Ishu nd Shivam's life which was going to get completed nd still incomplete!

Akata's POV

After we passed on to Std.XII, Shivam joined our tution. He was completely different from what I imagined after hearing his description from Ishu. I imagined him to be a short chocolate guy but he came out to be a tall, handsome guy with broad shoulders nd manly figure.

Though he was a flirt, but still he was humble nd gentle.

After he joined the tution I realised that why everyone used to think him nd Ishu to be a couple, coz I too felt that!
For first few weeks I really thought that they were in a relation nd that's why I kept pressurising Ishu to tell me the truth.
And finally, when she sweare me in the name of Rohan, I was convinced coz I knew that she wouldn't lie after swearing in Rohan's name.
