[Prakriti]

{After 4 months}

It was already 4 months. That means Aditi's suspension was over. Shanaya and Natasha had already confessed their fault in front of the dean and Darshan was proved innocent. He was asked to re join the college and his suspension was cancelled. But Aditi's suspension was not cancelled. However, I had a lot of questions to be answered... a lot of queries to be made and a lot of answers to get. But she didn't show up at college. 1 day turned to 2 and 2 days turned to 3... but still she didn't show up. Each passing day created more impatience within me. Aghh! Aditi!! Where are u? Come fast! And there was Darshan.... Still unaffected by everything... or was he affected from inside? Did he know anything about of Aditi? Well.... I need to find out. "D...", I called out for him. "Yes... my dear Prak", he said flirtatiously, wrapping his hands around my neck. "D.. Stop it.... If any teacher gets to see us in this way.. then we will be in trouble", I muttered, trying to jerk off his hand. "Don't worry about that...", he said with a smirk. Getting the chance, I said "D.... Aditi is not here to rescue us from the up coming dangers". The 24 carat smile of his face faded, making me doubt more on him. He took off his hands and turned around... It was unusual.. He would never leave me easily but... But with this single line he left me so easily. "D...", I called for him. He looked at me with an unreadable emotion.... I couldn't judge it. He pulled me into a tight hug and then murmured in my ears, "Never take her name... please". Why? What happened to such an extent that he didn't even want to hear her name? A bit more investigation is required.

{After 3 days]

It was a Sunday and somewhat 9 in the morning. I decided to visit Darshan's place once. As soon as I entered his house, I received a warm welcome from his mom. "Beta... Darsh is sleeping till now" she said disappointed. "It's okay... I will wake him up", I said and I went up to his room. As soon as I opened the door, my heart fluttered at the sight. He was sleeping, leaning against the wall. His hairs were ruffled all over his face. He looked like a kid in a deep slumber. I was enjoying the view and just then my eyes caught the sight of a piece of paper which was in his hand. At first I thought that it might contain a song he must have made late night. But the writing caught my sight and I thanked god for the timing. It read :

"Dear Darshan,

I know I have lost all the rights to call u Darsh. Before u get angry and throw this letter out, let me meet the point. I wish I could stay loved but as I said u my life is unexpected. Till date, I myself couldn't judge my life nor could predict my life.... I just have one thing to say.... Stay happy and keep Prakriti happy. I hope there won't be any other villain in your love story. U wanted me out of your's and Prakriti's life... Here I am. I am going out of your life and I hope we never cross paths.... Just don't know what more to say but all I pray to God is that... u both stay happy...

Yours hatefully,

Aditi"

My heart broke at that instant. I moved my eyes to him. He was disturbed by the wind and moved to his side. His eyes popped open. "Hey... What r u doing here?", he said in a husky voice. His eyes were swollen, puffed and blood shot red. Yes... he cried all night as my eyes judged. "Nothing... Just freshen up... I need to talk something", I said. "What happened?", he asked worriedly. "Nothing... just freshen up", I said and he obeyed like a obedient kid. After break fast, we were sitting in his bed room. "D... Do u know anything about Aditi?", I asked him. "How many times u want to ask the same thing? I don't know anything about her!", he snapped annoyed. "Then what is this?", I asked him shuffling the letter in my hands. His expressions changed. It went to a poker one. "I... I.. am .. sorry", he broke down. "I am saying u everything... ", he said and I looked on expectantly.

"I was at my home, watching 'Titanic'... I clearly remember that morning. Rahul came panting to my house and said ' Darsh.... Aditi has told to hand over this letter to you... I met her in the railway station'. At first I didn't feel like reading it. Nearly after 30 minutes of fighting with my conscience, I opened the letter and I couldn't stop myself from re-reading the letter. After that I called up Rahul and asked if he knew where she went but he denied. I tried to find her... but she was gone... I don't know where.... But she left us with an responsibility to stay with each other", Darshan said breaking down at the end. even though I caressed him but I was too broken. I too wanted to cry. "U too can cry... She wants us to stay happy... but she doesn't know in how much pain she left us" he said which bullied my tears to flow out. Our foreheads rested on each other and tears flowed down our eyes.... but her memories couldn't... I wish we could hold her together..... FOREVER.
