While Holding the Pain

Chapter_28

If you want to know about
someone, then the first thing you have to keep in mind
that
he/she is not you.
A lot more will make sense then.

Roshni's P.O.V.

When I entered the house, I heard Tithy talking to Ammi, "Ma, Look at the time. Api is still not here. Do you think, she will come early today? She promised me but "

Interrupting her, I spoke up, "But you thought that I will break my promise, right?"

Hearing my voice, Tithy got startled at first. Then with a smile she said "Ma look, api is here. Didn’t I say that she will come early today!"

"Yeah yeah. I heard that for myself. Such a Drama Queen."
Hearing me, Tithy pouted.

Ammi laughed out at that and said, "Now come. Take your lunch."

I nodded and Ammi went to set the table.
Then I turned to Tithy again and asked her, "What about your leg?"

"I am fine api. A little bit of pain but you know, its nothing to me. I am used to it." She replied casually.

"Be careful on your way dear. And for your boss, he should." She didn’t let me complete and said, "Api please. Not again!"

I was about to say something but got interrupted and heard Ammi saying, "Roshni, go freshen up first and come to table."

"Api, go otherwise we will be late." saying this, she went towards Ammi.
I also rushed to washroom while thinking about Tithy.

She never supports others that also going against me. But just in the mention of Ruhaan, she got onto it like really!

As if Ruhaan is just not her boss but he is like.. Like someone more than her boss. Like...I didn’t find any word that would fit in this.

Giving my thought a break, I got freshen up and said my prayer. Then I went for lunch.

Lunch was completed in a hurry as Tithy was being restless. After lunch, she said with excitement, "Lunch is completed. Now we should get ready, right?"

I replied sarcastically, "No dear, we should take rest for sometime. Then we will go."

She tried to convince me, "But api, it will take time for us to reach there."

"I know but we have enough time to take rest for a while. Right, Ammi?"

Ammi supported me and said, "Its just  half past 3 by afternoon now Tithy. Take rest. After Asar prayer we will go."

Hearing Ammi, I smilingly said, "Yeah, right." and Tithy glared to us and went towards our room while saying, "Yeah yeah. You both are always right and I am wrong."

Ammi and me looked at each other and laughed out.

After Asar prayer, we got ready and went out. Taking a cab, we hopped in and started our journey towards our destination. On the way I asked Tithy, "How come you think of going there suddenly?"

"I don't know api. I just feel like going there suddenly."

Hearing Tithy, I kept silent for a while but my mind went on like, "What are you doing, Roshni!"

Shaan's P.O.V.

Leaving me behind utterly confused, Vai went away. I kept looking at his receding figure until I couldn't see him any longer.

Then I looked ahead and kept thinking what is happening with me! Why vai is behaving like that!

I know that today I hurt vai a lot by talking about the wound directly. This man can never think a bad thing for me and I know this very well.

I never disobeyed him but if this time I listen to him then it will make me go away from him. Go away from my memories. Go away from Titly. It will create a wall between us and I just don’t want that wall. Why isn’t he understanding that?

I know he wants me to be happy. And I am happy as the way I am now. I won't change my decision. I won't..

I got interrupted when I felt someone sitting on the bench beside me. I turned to the person thinking vai is back but seeing the person, I got startled and said, "You!"

Without replying, she kept staring at me. Being angry, I yelled at her, "What are you doing here!"

She normally replied pointing to some people, "I am here with my family. "

Being irritated, I again asked, "What are you doing here? Right beside me?"

With a calm voice, she replied again, "Why can't I be here? Is the bench all yours?"

I got dumbstruck at that and said after a few moments, "Are you out of your mind? Please go from here."

She stood up and took few steps ahead only to turn to me again. She again got near and said with a sad expression, "Don’t hold onto something if you know it’s no longer there. It’s just stupid to hold on to something which doesn’t exist anymore. Sometimes a journey which was assumed to be bad at first turns out to be a good one. So get on the train. It won't remain standing for you."

I didn’t know what she meant but some words came out of my mouth automatically.
"This train is not necessarily the right one for me."

She replied with a little bit of smile, "You know, sometime wrong train takes you to the right station." and went away but not before again giving me a sad smile on her way back.
