Close Apart (Chapter-31)

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.

Close Apart (Chapter-30)

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.

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)

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!
