Thank you all for the support🤗 Hope I can meet your expectation. Here you go with the first chapter.
Its been two weeks since the NDC got over. Swayam is guilty of his deeds towards his sister and tried to mend it. Though Taani forgave him, still it was difficult for her. And the same happened with gang also. They apologized for their rude behaviour. Though she forgave, she kept a distance with them.
*****************************
Rey is sitting in a dark room with heads on his knees. And the room is filled with his soft sobs.
All says men dont cry. But when something broke you to death anyone will cry right?
Since the NDC he is like this only. When she said that she "acted" so that he can perform, that broke him. The realization drowned, she wont come back to him ever again. His one mistake, killed their happily everafter.That shook his entire sanity and existence.
The next two days he didnt went to college. He kept crying, kept regretting.. Everyone got panicked and called him continuously. The next day he went to college by a heavy heart. He didn't want to make her feel guilty or anyone blame her for his condition. But things were so difficult. Even the little things make him annoyed. Though he tried to keep him in control, failed terribly. Inshort he became an angry young man. No one dared to speak to him when he is in anger not even swaron. Though Swayam tried to talk to him, Rey didnt budge. Rey simply said he is "ok". He was kind of in a shell. Swayam decided to give some space. And for Sharon, it was so difficult to see him like this. She know being a part of the fakeup breakup plan, she is a reason for TaaRey's current condition. And that guilt literally killed her.
And to make it more complicate, Kriya made an entry to their life again. The next day of NDC she came, the gang was so furious to her. But swayam heard her pov and understood her and he make the gang also listen to her. Everyone felt and got back with her except Sharon. And the day Rey rejoined, gang was so tensed for his reaction, but they left surprised seeing a cold behaviour from him. He was shocked. Thats it. He didn't shout, he didn't blame.. Nothing. Swayam told him about her side of story and all he did was a nod. It felt like, he became numb as if he can't feel anything..
He craved to see Taani's one glimpse, but hardly get any. And whenever he got to see her, he, Karan will be there. From swayam he got to know that he is her best friend from childhood. He wondered he never knew about her best friend.
Rey raised his head to his side when he heard the ring. He looked the name. "Mom". He wiped his tears and took a breath and picked the call.
R: Mom.
RM: Kya kar tahe ho?
R: Nothing mom. Just aise hi
RM: Khana khaya?
R: Hmmm.
RM: I know you haven't. Go and have something and sleep.
Rey didnt say anything.
RM: You heard me right?
R: Ha.
RM: Hmm. Good night
R: Bye mom..
*****************
RD(Rey's Dad) : Hows he?
Avantika shook her head.
RD: Hmmmm.
Ranvijay go to his side of bed and lay down. Avanthika closed her eyes and prayed to God.
The same NDC day, Avanthika as usual called Rey. Rey didnt picked the call which is not so of him. After calling 3-4 times, he finally picked the call. Avanthika got worried hearing his son's non stop crying.
On the other hand, Rey took a deep breath and picked the call, but as soon as he heard her voice he broke down completely. Like a 5 year old boy he cried his heart out.
She tried to solace him. Once his cries became sobs, she enquired, and unable to keep it inside he told everything to her.
Earlier, once he told about Taani to her, and sometimes she pull his leg by taking her name. But recently whenever she took her name, he tried to change the topic. Avanthika knew something is off, but she didn't knew situation was this worst.
She felt the anger brewing inside her. Whatever the reason, she found the fake breakup too filthy. She never thought her son will do such things. She could feel for Taani. And out of the anger she rebuked him. But the next moment, she became silent hearing his whine. He admitted his mistake with cracked voice, inbetween his sobs. Her heart clenched. She never seen him this weak before. She tried to make him relax by saying "everything will fall into place" but he was in a denial mode....
After that, everyday this is their routine call and conversation.
As the call got disconnected, he stared at the wall paper. He trailed his fingers on the photo.
R: Taanii
He whispered and tears again rolled down. He closed his eyes and remembered the moments they spent together.
R: Kaaash. Kaash I could go back and rectify my mistake. How much happy we were.. I killed it by myself.
****************************
Taani is doing some GS work in laptop. This became a habbit for her from a long time. To kept herself busy with work.
Looking at the time, she closed it and walked towards bed, but stopped in the track seeing her reflection in the mirror. She took steps towards it and looked at herself.
Taani version 2.O. This place changed her alot. A happy going girl became a mess. Past few months were so difficult for her. First the rift between her and gang, the website comments, their break up, oops no,their fake breakup, everthing took a toll on her.
The moment she got to know that the heart break she had to go through was a plan it broke her completely. The person to whom she trusted with her life broke it into pieces. The breakup phase was difficult indeed, no one by her side, not even her brother.. But still she took all of her pieces and composed herself. But it was even more difficult when she realized it was a fake one. She lost all the trust. When she got to know that even her brother was a part of it, she felt deceived, all the strength oozed out.
Whenever Rey apologized to her, she could feel the anger brewing inside her. When he said that he still love her, she felt nothing but took it as a mockery.
But.... No matter what deep down she love that man. That is why she couldnt see him separting himself from dance. That day was so difficuly for her too. Seeing the tears trickling down his orbs, literally killed her. But her decision was firm. Its for his good too. Their ways are not meant to each other. Atleast she thought so. She thought, he will become ok after some days. Meanwhile she will get a hold of herself too.
The next 2 days of NDC was so difficult for her. Seeing him not around, seeing the whole gang tensed for him. But she tried put the mask of "she dont care". But deep down, she got sick of thinking about him. But she thought, just like her he will also need some time to get a hold on himself.
And when he came back, she tried to not bump into him. She done almost all duties by herself. Though the gang tried to talk to her she kept in a limit only. And with her bhai, she dont know what she is doing. One moment, all she want is to hug him and cry. But the next moment she will get aback. Though she forgave them, it was soo difficult for her to forget.
But she beacame little relieved seeing her friend Karan there, on the same college. He joined the college one week after NDC. He is a person who knew everything about her. But last 3-4 months he wasnt there. His mother got expired, so he was in London with his father. That is why he couldnt give a back to Taani when she needed him the most. But, now, he is there.. For her.. Forever....
And Kriya's entry was another knock on her door. Seeing his ex over there, she dont know what she felt. And she didnt either tried to dig on that matter.
**********************************
Thats it for Today. Give me honest opinion about this. I will try to improve based on that.
