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 hospital! Aditya checked each and every hospitals in that area! But Weren’t in any of them.” Komal was in a strange position. She was battling between her own self and her love.

“Yes, that’s because Rahim chacha admitted me by the name of his daughter Rukhsar. It seemed the best plan to him at that time since Hindus were not at all safe it that region.”

“But somebody should’ve informed me! I was freaking out here!!”

“Aditya! That’s entirely my fault. Till then I haven’t told my mom about you, and she was so shattered that she even didn’t informed our relatives about this. I am yet to find a place for her to stay. I tried to call you up as soon as I regained my consciousness but you had changed your number.”

“That’s a big story!”

“I have lost all my contacts and I didn’t know what to do so I came back here as soon as possible. The security guard informed me about the note you left there for Manish. So I came here.”

“Look it doesn’t matter what happened, what matters is that you’re here. Aditya has waited too long for this day. When everyone stopped thinking that you’d come, it was him who had his hopes up. And the time is here. I guess that the phrase “True love finds its way!” is true after all. Ok guys you two need to talk a lot so I will take your leave now”

Komal rushed out of the spot trying to hide her tears which were by then too evident to be hidden.

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...

Close Apart (Chapter-8)

Close Apart Chapter-8 “Here She Comes…” Still coping with the pain of leaving his ‘lady love’ for the rest of the week, Aditya dragged himself towards the platform where Rajdhani Express was about to arrive. Komal was coming in the couch AS2. So when the train arrived Aditya went near the coach and waited for her to pop out. A few moments later a young girl came out. Aditya had some genuine doubts about her being Mr. Arora’s daughter, he never thought that his daughter could inherit such beauty, but when he saw that she was actually giving a feel of looking for someone, Aditya approached. “Excuse Me, Miss Komal Arora?” “Yeah!?” “Aditya here, Actually Mr. Arora had an important appointment so…” “But Dad Said that he’ll be here!!” “It was a last minute change!!” “Look! I don’t need this…” “Excuse me?” “I mean I don’t need anyone to receive me at the station and escort me to my home!! I am old enough to handle these things.” “I can understand…” “No you can’t! So just show me where the car...
