Close Apart Chapter-31 “The Breaking News” Amrita gave him the breaking news exactly a week later. “Maybe you’ll have to take a leave from your office coming Tuesday.” “Why?” “An important thing might come up!” she said with a sparkle in her eyes. “Yeah! Maybe. Important things keep coming to me from past few days.” “But this’ll rock you like anything!” “Sounds like you’ve planned something!” “Please don’t pin me! I find it very hard to keep a secret long with me. But this time I’ve managed because I have imagined a special way to let you know!” “O.K.” They were crossing the busy streets. Sounds of approaching vehicles were cutting out Amrita’s voice. Aditya’s raised his voice to call Amrita. “Let’s have some cakes today instead!” “Why cake? Why not pizza?” “I thought cakes will be a change” “Then we’ll have cakes tomorrow, today I’m in a mood of having pizza!” Amrita ordered a couple of Lamb Delights and then started chatting about the times that they had spent together in the past. A...

Close Apart Chapter-30 “Those Memoirs…” Why does luck play such games on innocent humans? And to tip that off, the wounded heart behaves in strange ways. Aditya was finding himself in lot of troubles to cop up with the fact that he has to be with Amrita and not Komal. He was in a fix, and he was dead tired thinking over it. “You’ll have to tell her…” “I couldn’t think how I’d do it.” “But you can’t delay this for too long can’t you?” “But… Why?” “Just look at you!! You’re spending sleepless nights thinking about her and trying to figure out how to just meet her once… And then thinking the day away about how she told you not to do so… you are one pathetic mess!!” “Just shut up! You know nothing about it!” “Is it? You’re just trying to console yourself by telling some crap things, but that isn’t going to work with me.” “I can’t tell Amrita all these… “ “You better do or otherwise she’ll get it herself.” “What??...how’s that possible?” “Well let me guess, do you know who the world’s happi...

Close Apart Chapter-29 “Let Me Go…”* “Hello Sir? Would you please pass your phone to Komal? She’s not picking up her phone!” “Aditya, what happened? Komal seemed a bit off mood & now you sound disturbed too!!” “Sir, I promise I’ll explain you everything later on, but for now please tell Komal to pick up her phone!!” After few more tries, Komal received the call. “Hello Komal! Please don’t disconnect the line! I need to talk to you right now!” “It’s of no use Aditya! Both of us are aware of the facts, and right now the biggest truth is that Amrita has come back into your life…” “No it’s not! The biggest fact is that I love you! And I am in no position to lose you!! Why don’t you understand?” “Why don’t you understand Aditya… it’s true that we both are in love, but it’s equally true that in this position Amrita has no one to be called as her own! She has lost almost everything in the riots. She has come to you for the love and support that you promised her! And I can’t take that awa...

Close Apart Chapter -28 “Separation” “I thought I had lost everything! It was mayhem. People running all around with burning torches in their hands, beating up almost everybody they can lay hands off. I was in a fix what to do, I had nowhere to go! The miscreants had already started breaking our door when we escaped from there. My dad was already too sick to walk so I was dragging him with me and my mom was right behind us. And I was thinking, where to go! Right then I heard someone calling my name. I turned to saw Rahim chacha was calling me and asking me to hide in his house. I knew that being a muslim majority area it might be the only place to hide in this chaos. When I had almost made it to his house suddenly I trampled onto something and fell down. I don’t remember anything after that. I came to my senses a week ago. They say that I had a major blow in my head as I fell and was rendered unconscious for all this time.” “But They got to put you in some hospita...

Well I clearly remember not keeping any one today.” “Yeah you have! You are supposed to meet your girlfriend in half an hour from now. Hurry up!! You don’t want to be late at the meeting… get up.” “O.K. where is the venue again??” “Pizza Hut, 25 mins” “Hey you said half an hour” “And you’ve already wasted 5 minutes!! Hurry!” Aditya was getting ready when the phone rang once again. “Now you’re making me late.” “Hi Aditya its Mr. Arora.” “Oh hello sir! I was just speaking to one of my friends.” “Aditya, I know with whom you were talking, I need to talk to you about something.” “Yes sir…” “The thing I am about to tell concerns Komal, so I need you to be listen very carefully.
