HER POV

Hearing him say he was leaving from here as soon as possible, left me broken. An unknown fear crept up in my heart. I started wondering what if he would leave and never come back. It felt as if he was leaving forever. He did not look me in the eye after that call and I too avoided looking into his eyes or else I would have cried that instant.

I'm only now beginning to develop feelings of attachment toward him. He started to make me feel comfortable and happy with him and I was getting drawn like a free bird ignoring all the pain I've been feeling all these years. And now that I was getting drawn each second, staying away from him was seeming It seemed as though it was destined never to happen.

We walked down the stairs and went back to my room without even looking at him. Laying back on the pillow I tried to sleep but I lost the battle, and my tears began to fall. As my tears dampened the pillow, I slipped into a sleep that was far from peaceful.

Getting up in the morning, I found myself lying on the same wet pillow with dry tear stains. My heart felt solemn. I got up to get ready and all this while I wondered over him.

Wearing a white suit I walked down and saw everyone was getting seated. I was not at all in the mood to have lunch or talk to anyone right now. Instead my heart was wandering where he was and he didn't seem anywhere near me. The verandah was empty, the living room only had his grandparents and baba-sa and the dining table was almost full of everyone but him.

He was nowhere to be seen. Not finding him anywhere in the house my heart sank low.

Did he leave already?

Not for once did he thought of informing me or bidding goodbye. Was I not worth at least that much? Bitterness fueled in me now. And I couldn't hold back in.

"Sunaina come and have breakfast!" I heard bhabhisa.

"Bhabhi-sa I'm not hungry right now," I said and excused myself to the kitchen.

My mind was going crazy thinking about all this. I walked into the and fixed my dupatta and started washing the dishes out of anger.

From last night to this morning, not once did he bother to say that Sunaina I have to leave but I'll come soon or Sunaina take care of yourself nor did he ask me to wait for him. Does he not worry about us getting away from each other? Does the distance not trouble at all? Or does he not care about our feelings much?

And most importantly why does he have to leave? Why?

Or was I getting too attached?

Pondering over these thoughts suddenly I felt a pair of hands snaking my waist and I jumped out of fear instantly and was about to scream when suddenly I heard his voice right after a soft kiss he placed on my cheek.

I was stunned by his presence. He was still present here? How was that possible? He hasn't gone.

"It's me baby," he said and my heartbeats started to be at ease.

"What are you doing?" I whisper yelled at him.

He further nestled his face into my neck and goosebumps raised when his soft lips came in contact with my cheeks again. He was making me vulnerable. And this was not the place.

"I missed you," he said, hugging me tight.

"Koi dekh lega," I said, fearing someone might walk into the kitchen.

(Someone will see,)

But he wasn't following anything.

"Koi nahi hai hamare alawa" he said and pressed his face further into my neck.

(There is no one besides me.)

I tried to wiggle out of his hold when he started to sniff my neck. What the hell was he doing? Doesn't he fear someone will see us?

He was getting me weak in my knees, only if this would have been a secluded I'm sure I would have lost it in his arms. This man is going to make me insane.

But I couldn't forget how miserable he had made me feel previously. I am still mad at him.

"Le...Leave me," I tried to stand strong on my ground.

"Are you sure," he said and placed a soft kiss on my neck.

"Aahh," I gasped audibly and bit my lip immediately.

Now I was getting angry. I recalled everything how not for once he tried to inform me about leaving today and now he was acting as if everything was normal.

But it isn't normal. Nothing is normal. How can he start to act as if nothing is wrong. I am turning mad thinking about him leaving from here and not for once did he care to talk about that or ask me to wait for him.

Is that all we were? Just a fling? Nothing more? He can come near when he pleases, make us feel happy together and leave when he wishes to? Well nothing like that is going to happen anymore.

He must know I'm not someone who will take this normally. If he wishes to leave he can for ever. I won't ask him for any explanation nor will I ask him to stay and neither will I wait for him.

My eyes turned teary merely thinking about life without him. How will I even imagine that? I don't want to.

But I had to make a choice or else it'll hurt me in future.

"I told you to leave me," I said, coming out of his hold and looking at him intensely.

My eyes had tears and my face was burning with anger. He was making me feel good and bad at the same time. I was happy he was but I was angry that he was leaving.

"Sunaina I'm sorry I didn't -" before he could justify himself I spoke.

"Why are you even here?" I said.

"When you decided to leave as soon as possible then you should have left by now." I said and walked past him wiping my tears.

I ran up to the roof and cried with all my heart. I spent all my time crying up there cursing god knows who?

Suddenly I could hear the engine coming alive in the distance and my heart sank deeper. I walked up to the boundary and found his car getting away from my sight.

I realised how stupid I was to fight with him when I could have hugged him and begged him to stay with me. Maybe he would have agreed and gave us a chance. Or he could have a better explanation for my complaints. But I was too dumb to ponder over these thoughts.

Hurriedly I walked down the stairs and coming into the verandah I found his mother talking to my mother while coming into the house.

"Bhabhiji just pray that Tejas likes this girl. They have been friends since childhood but now when the marriage proposal is on the table he's not willing to go forward with it." his mother said and now my heart started to beat faster.

"She looks to be a good match for him," my mother replied while looking at the photograph.

But I tried taking my mind off this topic. The discussion was leaving me shaken, I felt a chill of fear but I had something important to deal with. I quickly walked out of the doors and reached the main gate.

"Brother where did his car leave to?" I asked the guard wishing if there was any possibility I could meet him.

"He went to the nearest railway station, do you need any help?" he asked and I asked him if he could help me reach there as quickly as possible, since I had something important to give to him.

He helped me take a ride in the guest's car. And we reached the station as quickly as possible.

Entering the platform where his train was to arrive I looked everywhere fearing if he had already left. But he didn't. Out of nowhere I saw him standing up and turning away, maybe towards the train.

I felt my heart beating again. Not wasting another second, I started to run at him and called out to him. But he didn't listen. Though he stopped in his tracks I tried to run away from the crowd while calling out for him a second time. I feared that if I lost this chance I might not be able to meet him again.

I didn't want to lose something so beautiful. I can't handle the same loss twice in my lifetime. He was special to me.

He turned around and looked at me and I ran to him and stopped a little far.

I couldn't hold my tears seeing him. I realised how hard I was falling for him. It has to be him for the rest of my life or no one at all.

I asked him if he was leaving and he nodded. My tears were not seeming to be in control. I needed his warmth now.

"Then what about me?" I asked, willing to know if he still cared about us.

And the moment he spread his arms and welcomed me I couldn't stand on my feet. I hugged him passionately, maybe wishing for him to stay back.

He rubbed my back a couple of times and I clutched onto his shirt at the back and let me tears flow. I was in safe arms now. I allowed myself to be vulnerable.

He tried to calm me down by holding and caressing me in his arms but my fear was not going away. After a few minutes he broke the hug only to cup my cheeks and wipe my tears.

"Hamara intezaar karna, hum waapis aayenge." he said softly and it felt as if got another life to breathe.

(Wait for me, I'll come back)

This was the only thing that I wanted him to say. The only thing I wished was for him to ask me was to wait for him. It held possession. And I was willing to be his possession.

"Karogi na intezaar hamara?" he asked again and I could witness vulnerability in his eyes too.

(You'll wait for me right?)

He looked emotional too. His eyes were begging me to answer his question with positivity. And I realised we both were in the same puddle.

The distance was not going to matter to us anymore. It was our feelings that mattered now.

I nodded my head hysterically while crying.

"You'll always find me waiting for you. Till eternity" I said and he smiled.

I hugged him passionately. And the next moment we heard the horn of the train.

I slowly came out of his hold. And looked at the train and then at him.

"You should leave. Have a happy journey," I said.

He cupped my cheeks and I pouted at him.

"Take care of yourself Sunaina, I'll come back to you very soon," he said and I nodded.

He tried to lean for a kiss but I immediately came out of his hold nervously, stepping back a few steps and looked around.

"We'll continue when you come back safe to me." I said and bit my lip out of shyness.

He took another step towards me and made me look at him.

"Then there will be much more than just a kiss," he said and pecked my forehead.

He took one step behind while my cheeks started to turn hot.

"Taiyyaar rahiyega, hum waapis aate hi maa se baat karenge," he said and turned around after winking at me.

(Be ready, I'll talk to my mother right after coming back,)
