IT WAS ALWAYS YOU

They Deserve To Be Together

Her steps were slower than usual. She was still not sure if this  is a mistake. She knew she needed answers but she didn't knew if this is the right time. The Samar she knew 7 years back was gone. She knew this man was not her Samar. Something was missing in him. He didn't look happy. She reached the place she was asked and tried searching him but no one was in sight. She waited there for 5 minutes and he was still not there. What if this was a prank done by someone. She felt sad that he didn't come and this was making her more angry. After all that he has made her go through she still wants to talk to her. After knowing that he has moved on in his life, she still wants to run in his arm and never leave.  She turned and was about to leave when he said, 

"I thought you won't come"

She stayed still, frozen by his words, her body refused to turn around. Tears made her way out and she didn't know what to do. But she came here because she was called. This has to happen. She knew she can't just walk away now. Yet again she was trapped in the spell named Samar. Slowly she turned around and her eyes met his. For a minute both of them forgot why they were there. His eyes looked tired like someone who has not slept peacefully for ages. There was pain, guilt and sadness in his eyes. And then something unexpected happened. She couldn't figure out how or why but her legs won't stop. She went near him still staring in his eyes, her heart was pondering in her chest. She was standing so close to him after such a long time. And all he could do was stare at her. In that moment he couldn't feel anything. He had no idea what she was doing. And then slowly her hand reached for his eyes and she gently wiped away the tears coming out.  Samar was taken aback by her sudden actions. He certainly didn't expect her to do this. And then suddenly reality hit her and she realized what she has done. 

She started whispering No No No shaking her head and taking steps back. She was angry at herself. How can she be this vulnerable in front of him. How can she make herself feel so miserable in front oh him. She turned around and was about run away when he said,

"Stop"

This time without turning, she said,

"What"

"We need to talk."

"About what?"

"How are you?"

"None of your concern. Cut the crap. You don't have to make small talks with me. Just say whatever you want and let me go."   

She was trying being rude after the little stunt her heart played. She didn't want Samar to had any wrong ideas especially when he was over her. He couldn't understand what she was feeling in the moment but he was angry. Not on her, not on anyone else but on himself.  His hands started shaking and he started sweating as well. He knew he didn't had much time so he said quickly, 

"I wanted to talk about Nikhil and Aditi."

"What about them?"

"I know i failed us Ridhi but.."

"Riddhima. Its Riddhima was strangers. Only my friends and family call me Ridhi and you clearly are none."

The words pricked his heart more than any knife can. 

"Okay. I wanted to talk about them because i know I have failed us, broken our relationship in a way that nothing can ever mend it. "

"Come to the point Samar. We don't have the entire day. My friends are waiting for me, I have to go. Unlike you, I don't like hurting any of them."

"I know they still love each other. And I know why they are not together. I can't change the past Ridhi..I mean Riddhima, but what i can do is try mending the parts which can still be mended. I know you want that too. I am responsible for this so i want to fix this in the coming four days."
