The Leave Of Love

Chapter 9

"Iss jagah aa gayi chahate ab meri
Chhin lunga tumhe saari duniya se hi
Tere Ishq pe haan haq mera hi to he
Keh diya he yeh meine mere rab se bhi"

They both rushed crazily towards the backstage nd requested the security guard of the greenroom "We want to meet Shivam Banerjee. Can u plz call him?"

The guard frowned at their haste nd gave a small nod. He went inside nd informed Shivam that two ladies want to meet him.

"No one knows me in Mumbai. Then who could be those ladies?" He asked himself trying to guess.

He came out of the room nd found that familiar two faces which he didn't expected in Mumbai even in his craziest thoughts. He became dumbstrucked with shock.

"Tu to aise chauk gaya jaise bhoot dekh liya ho!" Aku teased him after seeing his puzzled face.

He regained his senses nd chuckled. "No no....I mean what a surprise! You people here! I didn't expected....!" He said in a baffled voice.

"Neither did we!" Ishu commented nd all of them started chuckling.

"So finally ur following your passion of modelling ha?" Ishu asked smiling.

"Yeah after completing 2 yrs preliminary course of modelling in Kolkata, I joined a modelling academy here for more expert learning." He explained.

"Kitne dino tak rahega yeha?" She asked.

"Filhaal 3 saal. Waise tu yeha kya kar rahi he?" He asked.

"Psychology." She replied lifting her fingers.

"So ur also following ur passion ha?"

Ishu nodded childishly nd they again laughed.

"Aur tu?" He asked Aku.

"BDS." She replied tilting her head.

"Arey wahh! Ek daanto ka doctor aur doosra pagalo ka doctor! Kitne sare doctors!!" He chuckled

"O hello!... Psychiatrist nd psychologist r not the same ok!" Ishu defended herself.

"Just joking yaar!" He said between his laughter.

"Btw where r u living now?" Ishu asked.

"2/3 Shivaji Street." He answered.

"Arey tu to humare ghar ke paas hi rehte he!" Ishu became excited.

"Really?" His eyes glittered.

She too gave him her address nd after the three of them exchanged their phone no, they bid goodbye to him.

Ishu nd Aku turned back to leave. They took a few steps when Ishu again looked back to see him when she saw that a girl came out from the greenroom behind him nd hugged him. After she placed a kiss on his cheek, they went inside.
Ishu's smile faded after watching that. She turned around to leave. Aku too noticed that.
Ishu started walking fast nd breathing heavily leaving Aku behind.
Aku started running behind to catch up with her. Before she could leave the mall, Aku stopped her "What's about our movie plan?"

"Man nahi kar raha he." She replied looking at other direction.

Aku didn't said anything as she could understand Ishu's condition.

They came out of the mall started the scooty nd drove back to home.

"I can understand why u left?" Aku said sitting on the couch after returning home.

"To aur kya karti? I can't bear any other girl touching him like that!" Ishu replied realising what Aku meant.

"Relax Ishu.... Tui aise bol rahi he jaise wo teri boyfriend he." Aku tried to calm her.

"You're right. I don't have the right to talk about him like this. Mein to uski koi nahi hoti hu. Mein to kisi ki bhi koi nahi hu. Kisi ke bhi pyaar ka haqdar nahi ban payi mein! Na to Rohan ki aur na hi Shivam ki! I'm really bad. Getting the love which I want isn't in my destiny." Her eyes became moist.

"Who said that you're bad? U know what actually the guy who would get you in his life would be the luckiest guy in this world! And why r u taking it seriously? Modelling world me aisa hota rehta he yaar. I'm sure that girl is only his frnd nd nothing more." Aku tried to console her.

After pausing for a moment Ishu suddenly shook Aku's shoulder nd said "Bol na Aku why am I feeling like this after seeing him with some other girl? Mujhe to jalan nahi honi chahiye. Phir aisa kyu ho raha he mere saath? Bol Na..."

Aku patted her back gently.

Ishu held her head nd yelled "Why am I so confused? Jo cheez mere saath 2 saal pehle huyi thi wo ab phir se ho rahi he aur mein kuch kar nahi paa rahi hu! I'm again getting trapped in that same dilemma which had destroyed me! Neither can I hate Rohan completely not could I love Shivam completely!!"

Aku embraced her nd patted her head whispering "You would be fine. Relax.."

Ishu whispered in teary eyes "That kiss.... Only that is preventing me from hating him. Why did he kissed me back? He could also have resisted me, but he didn't. Does he really loves me? To phir 10 din o se mujhe call kyu nahi kiya? Mujhe manane mujhse baat karne kyu nahi aaya??"

Aku continued patting her. Her bestiee is slowly breaking apart nd there's nothing she can do at this moment except consoling her. She wiped her tears silently.
