I Am Not Here Anymore

Soulmates Never Separate

The figure of Vanya sobbed. She said,"I am sorry Arush,...I just am so sorry😣. I never meant to hurt you purposely, all I did to make you hate me was just for your happiness."

Arush was confusingly looking at her. "What do you mean, for my happiness, how can I be happy hating you. You knew I would be hurt with all this then why you did this to me?"

She sniffs,"Because my dear, I knew you would be hurt with my act but I did this so that you cannot be depressed for whole life." She again sobbed.

Arush,"Stop tricking me more Vanya, why would I be depressed? 😠What is it that can make me more sad than your hatred and ignorance?"

"My absence. For whole life.😞"

Arush was bewildered,"Excuse me?🤨 What do you mean by absence? And firstly tell me where are you, it's just your image like thing, where are the real you Vanya? Just come in front."

She looked him with wide wet eyes,"I cannot meet you Arush. I can never meet you, I am gone forever🥺."

Arush was getting angry now,"Be straightforward Vanya. I want to meet you right now tell me where are you? I am coming to you."

"Okay. So, you really wanna meet me. Don't you?" She asked him boldly.

"Yes, I do."

"As your wish."🙁

Aisha who was quietly listening the whole conversation with a deep moan, suddenly looked at Vanya and said,"But....you..."

Vanya looked at her with warm eyes.🙁 "So...." She pointed towards her room.

Arush was going to enter the room but Aisha came in between stopping him. Vanya,"Let him go....", Aisha moved aside. Arush went inside and his eyebrows furrowed with scene that was in front of him, 😦he found a girl laying unconscious. (Vanya's face was to the other side so, he could not see her.) He slowly moved towards her.

Coming near her, he sat on his knees and with quivering hands he turned the girl's face towards him. He was taken aback with a complete shock on his face. 😱He bit his lower lip and said,"V...V..Vanya. This is not a time to joke, I know you are doing some tricks on me to scare me, why are you doing this to me? Huh! Why to me?" He sobbed.😢

Aisha sat near him, kept her hand on his shoulder and said,"Arush, it's not a joke. It's the dark reality."

He screamed at her😠,"Aisha! Stop it! I knew she will just stand up right now and will mock at me." He shook her, "Vanya, I know you are playing a trick on me. But stop it now. Stop your damned trick or I will never talk to you. Open your eyes for God's sake😩."

His throat dried up and tears were continuously falling down his cheeks.😭 "Arush." He heard a soft voice of Vanya from behind. He turned back with a hope that Vanya will come to him laughing at him. But to his astonishment he saw the same figure of Vanya.

She gave something in his hand, when he looked at it they were the bands he had thrown at Vanya a week ago. She said,
"Keep them safe forever with you and Arush, she will not wake up, she has gone into the deep sleep forever.🙁"

Arush stood up,"What do you mean and what are you?If Vanya is laying here then who is taking out your voice. What kind of image are you that cries real tears😢?"

She softly spoke to him,"I am the image made by God that stays in the human body till it's end. I am Vanya but I am just her SOUL! For I am dead in this human world. I am not here anymore Arush.😔"

His chest was heavy with sobs, he spoke,"Th....T... This can't be true. Y...you.. you are definitely lying to me. I am saying stop this joke right now.😫 Why do you do these jokes with me only." He fell on his knees and cried.

Vanya kept her hand on his cheek,"This is the only reason that hurts you more than everything. Isn't it. Remember you told me that if something happens to me you will die. You will get depressed😟."

"Don't say this Vanya. Tell me this is not true please....." His throat tore into thousands of shrill cries. 😭He hold the hands of the dead body of Vanya and sobbed,"Please come back Vanya. You cannot die like this please.... come back.... I cannot live without you."

"But.... How did this happen. How did you die. 😖Tell me everything now..." He said to the soul of Vanya. She looked at Aisha and Aisha started telling him.....

"A month ago, when I was talking to Vanya, she suddenly felt some pain in her head hearing some noise. We went to the doctor and after check up, when the results came of her tests, the doctors told that Vanya was suffering from Migraine from a very long period of time and she will now feel severe pain with any sound produced. We were terribly shocked with this sudden change. 😨

We asked the doctors but no cure was available of this at its last stage, they said meditation would help a little but not much. Vanya knew she would die soon and she told me that you cannot bear it so, it would be better for you to hate her somehow and forget about her. She even care about you the most that she told me to make a promise that we all will never let you feel separated among us after her death. So, she was behaving with you so rudely, and today she....." She sobbed.😩

Arush' s eyes grew wider and hot tears rolled down his cheek, he turned towards Vanya and looked at her with teary red eyes,"You did not tell me about it just because you don't want to see me crying for you?"

Vanya's soul fell on her knees and sobbed,"I swear Aru, I can never hurt you purposely even in my dream. I died everytime, I said something bad to you or ignored you😭. My heart, my soul cried whenever I see you sad because of me. I just am so...so sorry."

Arush looked her with wet eyes,"I cannot even imagine your pain, whenever you pretended to hate me. I can't imagine how you have even felt when you saw me with Anna. How you bore this? 😣You never let me know about your situation. How much pain you must have been feeling in your head facing this terrible disease. Vanya you have died a million times before dieing. How did you tolerate all these alone?"😟

She cried,"I did Aru. 😔I tolerated everything. But your Vanya failed. You finally came to know the truth."

He couldn't touch her but still kept his hand like touching her cheek and said,"You did this only because I am your friend?"🥺

"No! Not only my friend Arush. I loved you. I love you with all my heart and my soul❤️, I cannot see tears in your eyes but I... have to leave you forever now. I am sorry.😞"

Arush looked in her eyes,"Don't say like this... I too love you the most Vanya and you, are my soulmate. And you know, Soulmates can never separate. Our love will stay alive for eternity.💞"

Vanya,"I have to go, but do make a promise, you will always be happy remembering me and will never hurt yourself. Give me a smile My Love..."

He smiled at her🙂, still with tears. She rushed to hug him and this time Arush can also touch her and feel her hands around him.🥰 They felt the most precious moment of their life and made the time stop for them forever but after some moments, Vanya's soul disappeared in the form of light up in the sky. Arush sighed deeply and fell on his knees.....😔

Years later Arush wrote in his diary-

"Time has passed with it's speed, the world has changed a lot in these 20 years. But I am still the same Vanya. You were my past, are my present and will be my future till eternity....😇
For SOULMATES NEVER SEPARATE.💞"
-Your Arush.
