All that busy roads are slowly becoming empty. People quit from their busy day. All the bright lights from large building and small houses, bright shine from moon and stars made this dark night more beautiful. We have all that lights and shines in day time also but this darkness of night made them beautiful. 

Everyone make great journey in their life till death. Many people had a particular time in life where they struck emotionally. Time becomes still, no physics or any science applied to that time. I also had that time.

In 3 years, my life changed. I came very far from my starting point. Working hard to build my career. Started my own startup company a year back with a friend. Time became very important constrain. I try to run with time. But my heart struck at a bright and beautiful night like this, where I saw her last time. Emotionally I'm still standing at that same place in that same time. 

"Varun..... come on man", Kumar called. He's drunk. Kumar, Charan and Sam were drinking from past 30 minutes.

"No..... I have work", I denied.

"What's the work?" he asked. He's conscious but not in full sense.

"I think you forget, tomorrow we have a very important meeting.... I want this deal, so I have to work for it", I said with firm tone. Kumar and I were colleagues and good friends. We both together started the company. 

"I know your work very well", He chuckled. 

"How long will you be like this? Hah? Listen to me, come and sit with us. Lets have a drink and dump your past. It's lot better than scrolling that old pictures and wasting your time on that shitty bitch who left......"

"Ey!", I shouted and held his collar with anger "Better watch your words." He came to his sense. Charan and Sam were watching us with confusion.

"If any other in your place.....", I gritted my teeth. I left his collar with a push and he took 2 steps back. 

"You don't know anything..... so don't judge...... You are my friend, you can say anything about my life..... but in this topic....... no...... better stay out of it", I strictly said in angry tone. All the three were looking at me and silence filled in the place. 

"Sorry.... you.... you guys carry on", I said in calm tone and swiftly dashed into my room and closed the door. 

I drank some water and laid on bed. My room was dark just night lamp near the bed was lit. I took out my mobile and scrolled the gallery for 'Her' album. I went straight to my favourite picture. 

It's been 6 years since I captured this pic. At that time she was very close to me, peacefully sleeping on my shoulder ignoring all the world. But now somewhere in this world, very far from me. 'Where are you Chaitra?' 

In these 3 years, I spent many nights just looking at these old pictures and speaking with them. I knew I didn't get reply from them, but I felt her beside me and listening my words. I moved to another picture. 'My heart attack' That day when we had this picture, I literally drooled at her. 

I miss her smile, her mystic eyes, our fights. I'm missing her badly. When she was with me, my life was better than perfect. But now I felt like I'm imperfect in this world. I'm trying to be perfect but failing. 

"Hey Pikachu, you know, today is very hectic.... I prepared everything for tomorrow. I'm very stressed about the meeting. I have a presentation with a company. If they collaborate with us in this project, it will be a great achievement for our company..... I got their appointment twice before, but at last minute canceled. Wish me good luck. I can't effort to miss this chance."

I came out of gallery and opened contacts. Her contact is in 3rd place in favourite list. I tapped on the contact named 'Pikachu'. Her smiling image displayed along with contact details. I still remembered the day I saved this number.
