The Leave Of Love

Chapter - 21

"Saari ki saari teri hu mein
Kabhi dur tujhse na jaun
Chahe lage arrson ane me mujhe
Phir dur tujhse na jaun."

After about a week Ishu got to hear that Rohan had met a severe accident while performing stunts. He was admitted in ICU for ten days.
Ishu started praying to God so that she can take all his pains in herself. She regularly took the updates of Rohan from Ayan.
After ten days, he got discharged from the hospital.
Ishu got a pic of him in Instagram where the stitches nd wounds were clearly visible in his bare chest nd his face was covered with beards as he couldn't shave for many days.

When she used to come to tution, she used to open that pic nd look at the wounds. She used to cry after seeing it.

"Ishu I don't think that u can ever take the revenge from him. Can't u see how much u r crying at his wounds add if they are yours? Uss din mall me bhi tu apne ap ko rok nahi payi usko dekhne ke baad. Do u still think that u can ever take revenge from him." Aku asked her after seeing her crying.

"Meine to pehle hi kaha tha that my love for him would never get reduced but I would just take my revenge." Ishu replied in a stubborn voice.

Ishu's POV

It was my birthday. My inbox got loaded with wishes after 12:00 (only my Aku didn't wished me as I later got to know that her grandfather passed away just a few hours ago. Well my grandmother too passed away on the same day 7 yrs ago.)

At about 1:44 a.m. my phone again beeped. I thought that it must be a birthday wish do I checked it.
Guess what! It was a birthday wish nd the sender was none other than ROHAN!
"Happy Birthday." he had texted.
I was in ninth heaven after reading that. It was really unexpected. Itna sab kuch hone ke baad bhi usne mujhe wish kiya!!
I typed "thank you" but erased it before sending.
No I shouldn't melt.
Mujhe pata tha ki wo khud hi mujhse pehle contact karega. Nd now it was my turn to take the revenge.

I never used the word 'Bhai' for him as I could never keep him on place of a brother nd he too hated being called as 'Bhai' by me.
Hence I typed "thanks Bhai" nd sent it to him.
He saw it but didn't replied anything. I know that it had surely hurt him to realize that I had started considering him as a brother.

* Ishu's POV ends*

Next day Ishu got a tiktok video (I don't support tiktok at all😂) where a girl was telling something to her boyfriend but as he was feeling asleep he kept his head on her shoulders nd she smiled at him patting his hair.

After watching that video Ishu recalled some of their memories.

*Flashback*

It was the time when Ishu nd Rohan were in relation in Std.VII.
As teacher made them to sit beside each other hence as usual that day too Rohan was sitting beside Ishu.
She was talking to her frnds when Rohan kept his head on her shoulders. She pushed him back nd continued her gossips. He was again going to keep his head on her shoulders when she pulled back her shoulders nd his head landed on her lap. Ishu narrowed her eyes at him while he gave her a flirting smile. They both started to laugh while their eyes twinkled with a feeling of unknown pleasure.

*Flashback ends*

She smiled a little at those memories nd posted that video in her WhatsApp status nd wrote the caption as "Mone achhe?( Did u remember?)". She intentionally have that caption coz she knew that Rohan would definitely see her status. But she didn't expected him to reply. After only a few minutes her phone beeped. She opened her phone nd found that he had replied to her status. Hence their chat started:

"Ha mone achhe. (Yes I remember.)"

"Excuse me. This isn't dedicated to u."

"See Ishita, don't try to lie okay! I know it very well that u have indirectly dedicated this video to me. Btw itna kuch bhi nahi hua tha humare beech jo video me he."

"Ha nahi hua tha."

"I was just trying to keep my head on your shoulders but u pulled it away. Itna hi hua tha bas."

"Ha bas."

"Video me kuch zyada nahi dikha raha he?"

"Rohan why r u texting me? Maa ne tujhe mana kiya tha na mujhse baat karne ko!"

"Aunty mujhe mana nahi ki thi. Meine khud hi kaha tha ki tujhse baat nahi karunga."

"Don't try to lie Rohan. I have the call recording."

"Thik he. Leave it."

"What?"

"Aur baat karne ki zaroorat nahi he mujhse. I'm sorry. Take care nd bye."

She didn't even texted back 'bye' to him nd closed her phone.
