Close Apart
Chapter-16
(Untitled)

Aditya wasn’t at all recovering from his sad state of mind. He made numerous efforts to track down information about Amrita & her family, but nothing useful came up.

Manish was concerned about his friend’s wellbeing, and so he called up Komal and cleared all the confusion that they were having.

It was Sunday morning; Aditya got a call from Komal.

“Hi!”

“Hi…”

“What are you doing today?”

“You mean this afternoon?”

“I meant now!”

“Well, nothing actually!”

“Then we can meet…”

“Look Komal, I am actually not in a mood to…”

“Moods, as they say, are made… and not imposed!”

“That was exactly what I intended to remind you…”

“Great! Then see you in half an hour at Pizza Hut!”

“I guess I don’t have any choice…”

Aditya knew he would have to get up from his bed and get ready if he wanted to be there on time, but he sulked. World has changed from what it used to be a few days earlier, and he didn’t feel a thing about it that’s left to live for…
***********************************************************************************

“Go ahead, make your order…”

“I am not in a mood of having something…”

“Aditya, this is not going to work! Just look at yourself, do you think Amrita’s going to like this when she comes back?”

“So you too believe that she’s alive?”

“Of Course I do! What kind of question was that?”

“No, after all these days, and those horrifying news about her place, I realize that everyone has accepted that…”

“Well I haven’t! And I’m pretty sure that you’ll meet her.”

“That’s why I’m here for…”

Aditya was feeling a lot relaxed now, the way Komal speaks to him and the way she always takes away all the anxiety is wonderful! Aditya felt a lot calm, even in there, one of the noisiest place in the city during weekends, he felt as if there was a serene peace around him. He felt good.

“Excuse me Aditya; I’ll just come back from the washroom.”

Komal went away. Aditya was still wondering about the things that Komal said, just when he saw something!

Someone was standing right outside the restaurant,

Someone was looking towards him through the glass doors of the place,

Someone Aditya was waiting for all these days!

Amrita.

Amrita opened the door and almost ran inside the place, Aditya was spellbound! He didn’t have any idea of what was going on, or what he was going to do! He was waiting for this moment for so long!

“At last my wait is over…” Aditya could mumble out this much.

And they fell in each others arms, letting all the pain of their separation to be washed away by their tears…

“What took you so long?”

“You aren’t aware of the situation there! It’s much worse than you get to see here in TV!”

“I can’t believe you are here! You don’t how I’ve spent these days without you! I was …”

“It was same for me too dear! I was counting the days to come back to you! “

“God I’m so happy!!”

“Adi! Just in case I forget to mention it, or it settles down in all these, I want you to know that I love you very much! And no matter how far I stay away from you, always know that there’s someone who’s always thinking about you!!”

“Komal should’ve came by now!!” Aditya thought.

His cell phone rang, Aditya was too happy to notice who was calling,

“Hello! Who’s it?”
“Aditya, where are you?” It was Komal.

“Where am I? What kind of question is this?”

“I’m waiting for you in Pizza Hut for more than an hour now!”

“What? Hey you left me …” Aditya couldn’t finish his word when he realized that something was wrong. Something was terribly wrong!!

“Aditya! Hello, are you there?”

He couldn’t stand the truth anymore!! He was heartbroken. And ripped off of his hopes all over again! Aditya stood up, and crawled out of his bed with Amrita’s words still ringing in his ears…

“I want you to know that I love you very much! And no matter how far I stay away from you, always know that there’s someone who’s always thinking about you!!”

The Way Beyond (Prologue)

I woke up!  It was dark, tried opening  my eyes, didn't do much help. As if I was inside a void with only darkness around me .  I opened my eyes and the darkness flooded in! I tried remembering where I was, tried remembering something that  could explain why I am here, all in vain. My head hurt and I couldn't recall  anything. It felt like the time has collapsed on itself and now there is nothing else, well except for this dark void.  They say your lizard brain wakes up in these situations. From the depths of your consciousness, and attempts to guide your instincts to safety. I see something now! Maybe my eyes have finally adjusted themselves to this darkness. Something familiar comes into my vision, laying in front of me. A leather spined book on top of a towel, an old leather bound book. I looked around, I was sitting in the shade of a tree. Can you still call it a shade when there is nothing but darkness around? Like if a tree falls in...

Close Apart (Chapter-2)

Close Apart Chapter – 2 “They meet…” “British Council, 5:00 pm, Hmm” The reason Aditya was thinking so much that day, because meeting Amrita at 5’o clock would mean that he would have to leave his office half an hour ago than his usual time. And that would mean that he’ll have to take this matter to his manager’s concern. “At 5:00!! What for? “ “Actually I have an appointment… with my… Dentist.” God knows why Dentists get involved in these appointments!! So, there he was! Out of his office, half an hour earlier than usual.Aditya was feeling a little uneasy. Actually he was never comfortable with girls. An issue which was of a major concern for his fellow colleagues. Many a times his friends have arranged blind dates for him, but all in vain!! But this time it is little different. Anyone who had known Aditya would have gone through a major shock viewing him talk to a girl, but Aditya knew he had a header here. Actually, Amrita was in the same class, in which Aditya used to study… “So yo...

Train Encounter(Chap-5)

Train Encounter Chapter-5 "Mischief, Mayhem,Someone" Strolling on the platform, Shalini was again sucked back into her memories.... nearing june, one day Shalini was sitting in her room, doing the project-work which was given by the instructer of the computer coaching she enrolled a few weeks ago... She was supposed to work on some online pictures which were in her folder. Shalini was very poor at modifying pictures & usually took a hell lot of time in morphing them. But today was her lucky day, she was carefully doing her job when just like a bolt from the blue, a window popped up saying..."MISCHIEF" and before Shalini could react to something, she saw her whole project work was getting disfigured!! Shalini tried to correct it but it was too late. Someone was controlling the workspace from outside, "but how was it possible!?" Shalini thought. Just then another window popped in front of her eyes saying..."MAYHEM" and Shalini saw her whole fol...
