The Leave Of Love

Chapter - 15

"Tumne mujhe adhura kiya, tumne mujhe tanha kiya
Mein jalta raha mein jalta raha tere bin mein yeha
Jaisa bhi hu jee lunga
Jaha bhi yaad teri ayegi wohi pore baithke ro dunga"

(Akata's POV continues)

One day as I reached tution, I saw Ishu coming towards me with the headphones stucked in her ears nd phone in her hand.
She came nd stucked one of the cod in my ear. The song started to play. It was 'Tabah ho gaye'.

Then she opened Rohan's pic from her gallery where she had saved some 500 of his photos !!!

'Phir akhiyan me preet ki teri reet jaga jana
Mohe chor ke jane ke khatir hi laut ke aa jana
Ki tumse judaa hoke hum tabah ho gaye."
She sang loudly while zooming each of his pics.
She used to act this crazily for Rohan!!

Suddenly she said "I wanna kiss him!".
"Pata he Aku, ek baar mauka bhi mila tha jab hum relation me the. Usne kiss karne ka permission manga tha mujhse." she added.

"So did u permitted him?" I asked.

"No, because I was a kid at that time. And I used to think that if he kisses me then I would become pregnant!" she replied.

We bursted out in laughter.

"You were really a kid! Nibbi!!" I teased her while controlling my laughter.

But then I paused nd looked at her face which was still laughing.
"But that kid had shown me the real meaning of true love, which sometimes even the mature adults fail to show!" I thought.

When the song ended, she played Asim Azhar's 'Jo tu na mila mujhe'.

"Aku, just listen to the lyrics, it just. It describes my present situation perfectly." she said still swiping Rohan's pics with her fingers.
"Kyu diya dard hume hum aj talak na samjhe
Bure he kya itne jo aa na sake tum milne
Tu humko bhul gaya bas yaar hum hi pagal the"
She again sang loudly nd stopped in one pic.
"Aku, guess who's this baby?" she asked me showing me the photo.
"You have saved more 500 photos of Rohan. I wonder ki uske khud ke gallery me bhi apna itna sara photos he ya nahi! And now u r watching his photos, so zaahir he ki this photo is none other than Rohan himself." I replied her in one breathe.

She bursted out in laughter and said "Yes, ye pic usi ka he, jab wo 6 mahine ka tha."
"You know what I want a baby just like this one. But destiny will not let me to have one." she sighed.

"Yes, but destiny will surely let u to have a baby like him." I said pointing towards Shivam who was walking towards us.

She rolled her eyes nd started pinching me.
It hurts. But I laughed hard.

Ishita's POV

For 7 months neither I saw Rohan nor could I talk to him.
Though we had unblocked each other in WhatsApp but still we didn't texted.

I used to take his updates from Ayan.
I got to hear that he had undergone several minor accidents while practicing stunts while I got several minor fractures in my leg. Even our physical pains used to coincide then why not we??

For those 7 months my eyes used to search him like mad in between hundreds of people when our school used to get over hoping that he must have come there to visit his frnds.
But he never came nd my eyes never stopped searching him.

One day, as the school got over, me nd Aku were coming out of the school when Ayan informed me that Rohan had came in the T.V.S. showroom which was just opposite to our school.

*Ishita's POV ends*

After hearing that, Ishu started running towards the showroom like mad. Aku was also running behind her nd meanwhile Arunavo, one of their frnd too joined her.
The showroom was on the other side of the road.

Ishita suddenly stopped at the edge of the road nd meanwhile Aku nd Arunavo too reached there.

"What happened? Why did u stopped?"Aku asked.

"I'm afraid. If he sees me then he will surely become angry." Ishu replied.

"To itni der tak pagalo ki tarah bhagi kyu? Ab nautanki band kar aur road cross kar." Aku huffed.

Hence, three of them crossed the road nd hid themselves behind a car which was parked in front of the showroom.
They were trying to spot him out from there so that he wouldn't be able to notice them.

And finally Ishu spotted him behind the glass doors of the showroom.

She was looking at him like Saint performing meditation.

Suddenly she made a frightened face nd came out of the hiding place. And started to cross the road in such a hurry that she must have committed accident.

Aku nd Arunavo too realised that Rohan was coming outside the showroom nd that's why Ishu fled from there.
Aku nd Arunavo becoming clueless of what they should do next, remained standing there when they found Rohan coming towards them.
His eyes were fixed on Ishita who was still running nd then gave a death stare to Aku nd Arunavo.

He crossed the road nd went towards the school. After he was gone Aku nd Arunavo too crossed the road nd found Ishu standing there.

They heaved in relief. But they were unaware of the more thunderous trouble that was going to evade them very soon!!
