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.
