so guys here is the first part hope you guys like it
So I as mode my way towards the exit with all these
disturbing thoughts. I saw my family standing there waiting for me and what
shocked me was that Muskaan was there, if it was the old me I would have just
left my luggage and broken into a run and would have hugged her until she falls
out of breath cause she is my best friend, my well wisher and my secret keeper
and the person I turn to after my father of course. But all I could do was put
up the fake smile which I have mastered in these years and moved towards them
and then hug them and answer to their questions. And I again returned back to
my silent mode, and all I did was peep out of the car window. When mom asked me
why was I so silent I din't have an answer what should I tell her, that this is
how I have been for the past 1 year. But dad said that I must have
been tired due to the long journey. What he din't see was it's not the jetlag
but it was the heartbreak and the death of all emotions in me which kept me
mum. Anyways I tried to ignore them and that's what I did by sleeping as soon
as we reached home I couldn't even stand the traditions nani wanted to follow to remove all the evil eye but
ultimately I couldn't say no to her . Once I got up I saw Anjali Di there
beside me passing her hand through my hair and looking at me lovingly and I
din't want her to look at me like that cause I felt like I din't deserve all this none of it at all .
An: what's wrong?
Me: what? Nothing... nothing is wrong why are you asking me
that ? ( I tried to sound natural but the panic in my hollow voice gave me
away)
An: you know it is
very easy to read you and you can't hide anything from me cause you are like an
open book to me
Me: what am I hiding from you ?
An: well you don't sound like you, your eyes look so shallow
displaying no emotion at all and the same goes with your face and you look so
pale
She said it with so much intensity and certainty in her
voice that I got so scared , I thought I would just give in and tell her what
had happened and vent out all the feeling which I have kept to myself but thank
god that Muskaan had come there on time and saved us.
Mu: hey ridz ! Oops sorry sleeping beauty auntie's calling
us for dinner so can you both do the honours of coming I'm really hungry plus
you have the whole night for the sister talk
What she said in the end scared me , so much that I wanted
to run back and that surprised me if I was something I was not a coward and I
always took life the way it came what it offered and fought for the things I
believed in but never backed down.
So after a dinner which was filled with questions most which
I answered in monosyllables and a few which I had to explain in a few sentences
. I slowly crept back to my room on the pretence of being sleepy and pretended
to sleep when Anjali DI finally came back and laid down beside me , but the
fact was that I couldn't sleep and sleep was miles away and I was
insomniac.
The next day I got up and found that it was not morning
indeed it was 12 noon the sun blazing outside and no one has picked me up, why?
I have got no idea as I made my way out side I saw Anjali Di and Atul Jeju along
with Muskaan were laughing hysterically
about something and I was jealous all of the sudden cause I tried remembering
when was the last time I laughed like that but truly I din't remember . Then I
made my way towards them and went and sat down.
At: hey sweet heart wassup
Me: hey nm why din't anyone wake me up(looking intently at
her sister)
An: well we thought it's better not to disturb you
Me: it's okay so Jeju what brings you here?
At: you forgot din't you? Arey today it's our marriage day
remember so I wanted to steal my wife from you and spend some time with her
Me: oh ya how can I forget that, happy marriage day
Saying so I took Anjali Di into a hug, how can I forget this
day even though it's an important day for them I remember it for a different
reason and as I broke away from the hug I could see her face glowing And felt a
ping in my heart I used to have that glow on my face before with eyes shining
where was all that now. Anjali Di spoke next
An: can you believe it has been two years already and time
just seemed to pass away?
At: yes and tonight we are having a party kind of reception
but my dear sisters please come
Me: but Jeju
I begun to say I couldn't come cause I dint want to meet
people and put up the mask of being happy whereas I was broken completely
shattered but couldn't tell people that now can I ?
Je: nothing saying I want you to come and you are coming.
And I gave in cause I din't want to spoil Di's special day
that to because of him.
Later that evening I
had to go to the florist I found a good nearby and asked them for a good red
rose or tulip flower bouquet so they asked me to wait for ten minutes as I was
waiting I felt the door behind me open and a gush of wind come in suddenly the
power went off and the person in charge was
complaining how the was the nth time it went away and lit the nearby
candles . Then I suddenly felt the urge to turn and look as I followed my
instinct . I was shocked and stunned suddenly the room felt suffocating and the
air in the room turned solid and it was as if something got stuck in my wind
pipe and I couldn't breathe. And it's all because of the person standing in
front of me.
