v  Chapter 2

It had been so long that it had seemed she would never see him again, yet here he was dancing with her, it just seemed like dream. They danced in sync as they had practiced so often as kids.

"Abhi stop puncturing my feet you moron"

 Ohh!! I would angel if only you would stop being so ticklish while dancing"

Oh Ho!! now don't pout like a kid and just follow my lead"

"Your lead my foot"

"You know nothing my beauty queen '"

"Angel, I am warning stop calling me that or else or what and then began their endless cat and mouse race which always was the source of entertainment to her family

And then the past flashed like a movie in front of her eyes. The two of them and their pranks in school, the years of being a carefree teenager as she knew that he will always protect her and then there journey to being adults. Each and every memory of the 25 years was connected to him. At that moment she looked at those the chocolate brown eyes which could read her like an open book and then a pair of black orbs flashed through and she sighed and he knew she back from the trip of the memory lane

The man in front of her meant the world to her once, but not now!!

Not ticklish any more I gather?" He asked as usual it brought a smile on her face.

"Oh Yes, times change!! Oh Yes, You are wearing heels that's an achievement now, since when did you become lady like, In Rome do as the Romans do was the reply.

Never a direct answer, something's never change. How have you been angel ",

"I am doing very well." Missed me?" Of course I did." She mumbled.

"It would be impossible to miss my best friend.

Best friends? Just best friends he said as he held her with force I love you...and you loved me!

"Yes I loved you Abhi, but things are different now and you of all should understand it .This time his eyes filled with guilt and she could see the pain in them "I am sorry, I wish I had listened to my heart and things wouldn't have been this way but don't punish me like this, there still hope for us

"Who am I to punish you, we can't turn back time Abhi. Saying this she moved her hands out of his arms.

 "Angel ","No I am not your Angel Abhi, I am married and I belong to someone else . And nothing can change that."It doesn't matter but she cut him short and replied of course it does. I am no longer your angel, but I am Mrs. Riya Arjun Suryakant Rawte and my husband is waiting for me."

Watching her walking away from him to another man whom he knew was watching her intently would always haunt him for as long as he lived. He couldn't help but ask her "Do you love him? Do you love Arjun, Riyu?

She turned back and gave him smile before walking back to her husband as she still didn't have answer to this question, and she might never have '.
