Pagal Sa Ishq

Chapter 1

"It feels so peaceful to see people move ahead in their lives. These moving vehicles in this busy street always made me realise that even I should do the same. But I don't think I can ever move on from him, from us."

Shehnaaz thought, standing in front of her bedroom window looking out at the street.

It was a 2bhk flat that she had rented with her friend Amisha in Delhi. She has been living there for the past 4 years and now was supposed to go back to her hometown, Mumbai.

"Shehnaaz you done with the packing?" Amisha barged inside the room with a sad frown on her face.

"Haan" she got a short reply from the other end who was still busy looking outside.

Amisha knew what her friend was going through and what must have been running inside the stupid little head of her's.

"Shehnaaz it's better to face it now then later. Kab tak bhagne ka plan tha tera? You had to face him someday! Better do it now..... Trust me it'll be ok" she assured.

"It's not that easy Amu..... Also maa aur papa ko bhi face karna padega mujhe" she sighed. "I'm scared." she sighed again.

"Chod chal soote hai, meri flight hai early morning"

Amisha took the hint and did not strech the topic any further. She returned back to her room after an emotional last goodnight. It'll be tough for her to not have Shehnaaz around at all but at the same time she had accepted that it was for the best that her friend was leaving.

"TV town's most handsome eligible bachelor was found wasted outside of a bar in Gurgaon-" Shehnaaz read the first line of the article but couldn't make herself to read any further. It was like a routine to check on her long lost love before going to bed at night.

"Tujhe kya ho rakha hai Sidharth? Kyu ye harkate kar raha hai tu!?" She thought closing her eyes trying to sleep.

........

"Urgh! Who the fuck opened the blinds!?" Sidharth groaned waking up with a shooting pain in head.

"It's me Hi! I'm the problem it's me!" Rahul, Sidharth's only genuine friend stood right in front of him with a grin reciting one of Taylor Swift's song.

"Abey yarr!! Rahul just fuck off man!!" Sidharth cursed and laid back on his bed hiding under his quilt. He already knew what's coming his way, a nice long lecture.

"Sid! Tujhe kya lagta hai you can avoid me? You did it again, you got drunk again at some random party, you are all over the news and that's only because of that little girlfriend of yours" he started to bite Sid's head off that was already in pain.

"Hey come on man! Isme sunidhi kaha se bech me aa gai?" He countered back sitting straight right up on his bed "Also she's a great friend to me before anything else."

"Friend my foot." Rahul murmured.

"Sidharth Shukla I'm telling you tu uss ladki se dur reh she's not what you think she is-"

"Bas yarr, I already have a bad headache." Sidharth whined.

That's it Rahul lost his cool. He has been beside his friend all throughout his ups and downs and seeing him with a girl who seems to be around him with some kind of motive irked him.

"You know what! Do what you want. I wish Sana hoti yaha par tab ye parties and ladkiyon wali bakwas nahi karta tu, Wo hoti toh tu-" He stopped when he glanced at his dear friend. He made the big mistake by mentioning 'Shehnaaz' in front of him. The next thing he hears was a loud bang which was caused by Sid hitting his fist on a nearby wall. His eyes filled with a mixture of rage and sadness.

"Sid I- I didn't-"

"Get out!" He said in a stern tone.

"Please, now!" Sidharth demanded in a pleading tone for his friend to leave. He didn't wanted Rahul to face his anger again as he did for the past years.

Rahul did as he was told. Sidharth then next rushed into his bathroom and stood under the shower.

As the cold water runs down from his head he closes his eyes and his body relaxes.

Flashback :

"Kya bakwas kar rahi hai tu? Where the fu*k do you think you are going? What is going on? Tu mujhe kuch toh bata!! Why are you breaking up with me?" Sidharth was shouting at the top of his lungs in the middle of the empty street where Shehnaaz had called him to meet for the very last time.

"I'm sorry Sidharth" those were the last words that came out of her before she went away from him as he kept on calling out for her and staring at her helplessly with his misty eyes.

Flashback Ends

"I'm sorry? That's it? Atleast I had the right to know why we broke up. I deserved to know the reason. I've been living with this thought lingering on my mind for the past 4 years but now it's enough. I've to move on. No! infact I have moved on from this very moment. There's no Shehnaaz in my life or even in my thought anymore!"

Staring at the mirror he kept talking to himself trying to obliterate all the thoughts and feelings related to her. But that will be of no use, even he knew it somewhere inside of him, it was useless, it was impossible. Shehnaaz was and will forever be inside his heart no matter what.
