Tithy, a young girl of 22 years who was living someone else's life completely forgetting her identity and she herself was not aware of it for even a little bit.
As destiny leads the way and everyone has to follow it, none can know the destination...

Tithy's P.O.V.
Entering home, I found Api talking to Ma in her room. I was about to enter into the room when I heard Ma asking Api, "What did you say?"
Api didn't answer instantly. I was wondering what was going on here then I heard Api saying, "I am ready to get married to Tamim."
I could clearly see it in her face that she was not happy with her own decision as if she was terribly forced to take the decision.
But hearing Api's decision, Ma was utterly happy. She happily hugged Api and said, "I am so happy for you. Tamim is a good guy, Roshni. He will keep you happy."
Api hugged Ma back but kept totally silent. Leaving Ma, api turned and saw me standing by the door.
Seeing me, she came forward and asked me, "Everything okay? Why are you this late?"
"Ruhaan Sir suddenly fell sick and I couldn't leave him alone in office" I replied and Ma asked me, "You did right, sweetie. How is he now?"
"Now he is better and his brother came there earlier," I said with a sad expression.
Api got near me and said, "You must be tired now. Go freshen up and rest for some time."
I left from there nodding and went to my room. After getting freshen up, I made ablution and said my prayer. After that, I felt hungry but I was not feeling like eating as the exhausted and tired face of Ruhaan sir was bothering me.
But Api forced me to take dinner anyhow. After dinner, I came back to my room and lied on the bed while thinking about him.
Api got on the bed and lied beside me. When she found me lying without a book in hand, she asked me, "Tithy, you okay?"
And I went on saying, "I am okay Api. Actually, I am thinking about Ruhaan sir. He has not been doing well. I have been observing this since the day, I joined there.
Most of the time he looks gloomy. I even saw him shedding tears. You know he loves his sister very much just like you love me. But she is no more. He sometimes ends up calling me by her name. Her name was Titly. Isn't the name quite unique, Api?"
When Api wasn't answering me, I turned to her only to find her almost asleep.
I covered her with blanket properly and went on with my thought about Ruhaan sir and fell asleep eventually.
Author's P.O.V.
When Tithy left the cabin, Ruhaan and Shaan kept silent for a while. Then Shaan turned to Ruhaan and spoke up, "Lets go home, vai. You need to rest."
Without looking at Shaan, Ruhaan got up and left the cabin. Shaan followed him upto the car. Then he again spoke up, "I will drive, vai. You should take the back seat. You can rest there."
Ruhaan looked at him and smiled a little. He hopped in Shaan's car and closed his eyes leaning on the back seat while Shaan started driving towards home.
Arriving home, they got down and went inside. Ruhaan went directly to his room whereas Shaan kept following him up to the upstairs then he turned to the room of Titly.
He entered the room in slow steps. Switching on the light, he kept looking around the room for a while. Then he got near the bed and opened the drawer of the bed side table and found the box he was looking for.
He took the box out and kept looking at the smiling picture of Titly hanging on the wall with teary eyes.
He remained like that for a while then he went to Ruhaan's room keeping the box in his pocket.
Ruhaan was sitting on the bed leaning back on it. Entering the room, Shaan got near him and sat on the bed facing him and said, "Vai, you should sleep now."
Ruhaan looked at his concerned face and said, "Shaan, I am okay now. Don't worry."
Shaan tried to say something again only to get cut off by Ruhaan, "But vai"
"Shaan, I said I am okay. You please go now. Uncle must be waiting for you and you should also live your life now. Please move on, yaar." Ruhaan tried to convince Shaan once again but got dumbstruck at what Shaan did then.
