Sr Os-When A Heart Breaks(Part 4:Pg.12) - Page 7

Riddhima " Sid .."

Sid's anger had ebbed away so in small voice he said " hmm "

Riddhima was shocked she had expected anger or another bout of harsh words she hadn't expected that. She hadn't expected to hear his defeated tone which spoke of the pain he was going through . Riddhima bit her lip  and closed her eyes as she felt tears forming in her eyes . She had already given him enough pain . Infront of him she didn't have any reason to cry .

"Sid I want to say I am Sorry "

"It's all right Riddhima I forgive you " he said in the same disinterested tone

Some how this just made Riddhima feel worse. She didn't want him to forgive him she wanted him to yell at her .

Finally all their belongings were in their respective suit cases.  Riddhima suddenly noticed Sid's feet . His soles covered in blood . Bits of broken glasses were cutting deeper into his sole with each step he took but he didn't seem to be in pain . He was about to take a step when Riddhima stopped him

She took out the first aid from the cupboard and was about to take out it's contents when Sid said "Stop Riddhima just stop showing your fake concern and just stop.Please"

Not wanting to argue with him Riddhima reluctantly put the first aid box  back.

They left the bedroom while memories  filled their heart and mind . This room was the witness of the love Riddhima had never felt or maybe refused to feel . This room was the witness of Sid's undying love for Riddhima .

"Riddhima before I go I just want to say I m sorry for the harsh words I said "

Sidhant didn't  want to end things with Riddhima bitterly . There was too much of love . Too many memories .

Riddhima looked at Sid completely bewildered.  Not knowing what to say she just stuttered "N..o . Noo. Need to say sorry. I deserved it "

Sidhant just smiled a sad smile " No Riddhima you didn't . As a wife you were very good . Farz nibhane mein kaafi acchi thi "

Riddhima flinched . Sid mentally kicked himself for saying some thing bitter again .

"I didn't meant it like that . I just meant that you were a good wife "

he gave her a bright smile . She smiled back. She felt that his smile was incomplete . The usual mischievous glint in his eyes was missing and his smile didn't quite reach his eyes

After a very pregnant  pause Sid said " Bye riddhima "

"Bye Sid "

Funny isn't it? Some times people are perfect for each other . But their  consequences  actions and their words drive a wedge between them. Some times people love each other but some times they still stay away from each for reasons unknown even to them .  Some times people hate to hurt each other but they still do because of the circumstances.  People often don't recognize the effect their words can have on a person.Some times it breaks your heart to say good bye to a person but you still do . In anger ,in frustration or in sadness they say words that they never meant to . Those words haunt them for the rest of their lives.  Choose your actions and words wisely . As Dumbledore were wisely  said in Prisoner of Azkaban "The consequences of our actions are so complicated, so diverse, that predicting the future is a very difficult business indeed." Our actions and words make up our destiny and fate

Saying good bye to a loved one is always painful . Sid and Riddhima smiled at each other . Their eyes shining with tears . Their face contorted with pain . Finally Sid turned to go but at exact that moment'..

I know its a bit short😆 but promise next part will be long :)
