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 away from her. I simply can’t…”

“Komal, listen to me… please!”

“Don’t call me up again Aditya. Goodbye!”

*********************************************************

Amrita was in Aditya’s flat, she was perhaps too shaken to notice the evident change that was all around the place which had Komal’s name on it.

“Here’s your coffee…”

“Thanks Adi!”

“Where’s Auntie?”

“She’s with our cousin’s in Delhi. I dropped her there and rushed back here. They were dead worried thinking about us! Even they searched every hospital. Mom totally forgot to inform them! I guess she was under too much shock seeing me and daddy both in that condition.”

“Uncle’s alright?”

“He’s alright now; he was almost senseless by the time I reached there. Paralysis has taken it’s toll. He can’t speak or move a lot now.”

“He’ll be alright, don’t worry about that.”

Amrita hugged Aditya tightly and said

“I’m sorry I left you in between all these troubles, it must’ve been very hard on you.” She was crying.

Aditya held her in his arms and said

“Don’t worry! Everything will be allright!”

Close Apart (Chapter-32)

Close Apart Chapter-32 “Shopping Day” Amrita took Komal for her wedding day shopping! Komal tried a lot to dodge Amrita but then she was not so resourceful when it came to denying someone. “Look, all my life I’ve been either studying or working, actually I didn’t get real time to dress-up or to party around. So I am what you’ll call a fashion disaster” confessed Amrita. “Don’t worry! I’ll Help You out! You won’t be a fashion disaster on your wedding day.” Komal smiled and replied. After sometime, Amrita was lining up in front of the trial room while holding few dazzling dresses. “I know the decision was a bit hasty, but after so many days without him, I don’t have the patience of staying away anymore! I know, you must be thinking that getting married in a registrar’s office is such a boring thing to do, but for me the companionship is much more important than a fancy wedding! And even Aditya seems to be quite supportive about this.” Amrita finished as she went in one of the trial room...

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… ******************...

Close Apart (Chapter-19)

Close Apart Chapter-19 “The British Council Mystery (Part-II)” “Komal you don’t have to do this!” “Trust me, I’ll have to. “ “O.K. listen, try to find out as much information as you can about the server they are using & about its network administrator Mr. Bakshi.” “Why him?” “Because only he has got the power to insert any virus or Trojan in the server & I had this feeling before that he’s up to something.” “O.K and I’ll see you in 2hrs or so…” “Right, note everything, take pictures if necessary and…” “and?” “Don’t run into unnecessary troubles!” “I won’t.” “Manish will drop you on his way…” “No, I’d prefer to take my Press car with me…” Watching Komal going away, Aditya had this strange feeling. He realized that she was going to risk her job to find out something for his defense; Aditya realized that something has creped into his self silently. So silently that he never even realized that it rested there. Rested just to remind his of its exist...
