The Leave Of Love

Chapter - 16

" Mein tujhse hi chhup chhup kar
Tere hi aankhei padti hu
Kaun tujhe yu pyaar karega
Jaise mein karti hu"

Akata's POV

After we found Ishu on the other side of road, we walked towards her.
"What happened to u? Why did u just ran away? Go nd talk to him. U have been waiting crazily for this moment, then why r u hiding urself from him when the moment really came?" I yelled at her.

"Are u insane? I can't talk to him. Thappar wappar mar diya to!" she replied while blushing.

For few moments we kept on forcing her to talk to Rohan who was standing just a few metres away from us meeting his frnds. (Yes, he crossed the road to meet his frnds.)
But when she denied continuously we came back to the main road nd boarded the bus to our home.

I still remember how the smile never left her lips the whole time it took us to reach our home!

"I saw him today! Yes! Yes! I saw him today! My jaan!!" she was constantly murmuring those words never stopping her smile.

I have never been in love. But I don't know why I felt that I can understand Ishu nd her feelings at that time. I realised how I would have reacted if these things would have happened to me.
Maybe, love have that power to create that same feelings nd sense among the surrounding people too who is witnessing someone else's love in his/her own eyes even if they haven't been in love earlier!
Love is really powerful nd I admit that. And this power strengthens us or.... maybe it weakens us. And the  impact that its 'leave' leaves behind is equally devastating. It ought to be weakening us...... but it seems to be strengthening us nd our feelings as the day passes!!

"Aye zindagi
Teri dasturiyaan he badi ajeeb
Ishq me rona sikhata he
Aur judaai me hasnaa"

*Akata's POV ends*

That evening Ishu nd Shivam went to their physics tution but Adrija didn't add she took her mother to the hospital.
When she was still in hospital Rohan called her.

"Hello..... is Ishita there with u?" he asked.

"No Rohan. I didn't went to tution today." she replied.

"To wo abhi jaha bhi he use call karke bol ki mein aaj use uske tution ke baad milne aunga. Itni baar samjhane ke baad bhi wo kyu nahi samajhti he!!
Now I think I would have to talk about this matter to aunty." he almost yelled.

"Rohan please don't say anything to aunty, as u know that she's not well. I will inform Ishita that u will meet her after tution." she replied nervously unaware of what had actually happened.
Rohan ended the call.

After that Adrija informed everything to Ishu by calling her.

It was 9 p.m., the monsoon night of August.
Ishu nd Shivam were waiting under a shade as it was raining heavily.
Ishu was to much tensed, coz she realised that Rohan was really pissed off at her.

While the rain was drenching her outer world, her emotions mixed up with sadness, happiness, fear nd nervousness was drenching her inner world.

She held Shivam's hand tightly as he was trying to cool her down.
After few minutes they saw a scooty came nd stood in front of them totally drenched in rain.

Parth, a frnd of Rohan was seating in the back seat while Rohan came down from the driver's seat wearing a grey T-shirt which was totally wet nd water dripping off from his hairs.
He pulled his hairs backwards with his fingers.

As he approached them, Ishu slowly hid herself behind Shivam nd clutched his back tightly with her fingers.

"Mana kiya tha na tujhe ki mujhse kabhi milne ki koshish mat karna! Phir bhi tu kyu aayi showroom ke bahar? Ishita tu samajhti kyu nahi he ki tu apne pairo par kulhari mar rahi he. Apni bhalai tu khud nahi samjhegi to kya mein samjhunga?
One day, this temporary happiness will give u a permanent pain!" he continued scolding her for about 10 mins.

Tears started rolling down from Ishu's eyes nd she clutched Shivam's back more tightly.

"Have u seen what she had done? She had written my name in her hand by cutting it with a blade." he said to Shivam by pointing at Ishu's hands.

Shivam could understand the situations of Ishu nd Rohan.
But he didn't tried to stop Rohan, because being a boy he could understand the emotions of Rohan.
He could understand that Rohan ka gussa karna natural he.
He would also have done the same thing if he would have been in Rohan's place.
He just uttered slowly " O toke bhalobase Rohan ( She loves u Rohan). That's why she's doing all these."

"B** er bhalobasa! ( Fuck the love) What love? The love which will ruin her? Koi zaroorat nahi aise pyaar ki jo use barbaad kar de." he shouted.

He then tilted his head towards Ishu nd said "Aur tu, jab kuch saal baad tere bachhe tujhe puchenge inn sab ke baare me to kya jawab degi? Abhi see samhal ja warna baad me pachtayegi!
And yes, whatever u think about all these unconditional love just remember that there's no love called  'unconditional' in this whole world because the word 'unconditional love' itself have a condition called 'uncondition'. For the love to become 'unconditional' it have to maintain a condition of being 'unconditional'.
So just keep your fucking love to yourself nd don't show your face to me again!! he ended his words nd went up to his scooty.
Parth was already sitting in the backseat while Rohan started the scooty nd went away.

No one came to know about the silent tears that crossed his cheeks nd mixed with the water of rain.

Ishu kept looking at the scooty until it went out of her sight nd tears still rolling down her eyes nd her fingers still clutching Shivam's back nd
T-shirt tightly.

"U r hurting me!" Shivam alerted her pointing towards her fingers at his back making her coming back to her senses.
