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.
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 happiest man is?”

“I don’t know.”
“I’ll tell you, he’s the man who gets back his love back from the death’s peril. Does thing ring any bell to you? Wait a minute!! It’s you!
And look at you! Anyone can tell that you’re not that guy! What do you think she won’t be able to sense it?”

“Just leave me alone!!”

Aditya yelled in silence, whatever he does, this mental battle between his inner selves doesn’t seem to end!

The doorbell rang to bring him back to the reality. Aditya got up and opened the door.
Komal was standing in front of him!

“Is Amrita here?”

“No…”

“Good!” she said and rushed inside.

Aditya was spellbound. He had never thought that he’ll see her! And as she went in as if looking for something, he just stood there, watching her. She was looking more gorgeous than ever!

Komal soon reappeared with a plastic bag in her hands.

“I almost forgot that you stored all the stuffs about me in your room. Thank God Amrita didn’t see all these letters and photographs! So I covered it up at the right time, tensions over!”

Komal made a desperate attempt to storm out the door the same way she came in but halted near it and started spelling out link-less words.

Aditya pulled her close to him and kissed her. He was not thinking of anything else, only the sense of completeness filled him. And a stinging pain reminded him of the fact that how miserable he was without her!

“Aditya! Let go of me!” Komal whispered

“I can’t! You’re the only thing I want in my life!! I love you! Please don’t leave me alone!” He whispered back.

They were both in each other’s arms, trying to realize the other one a truth that they both knew. But the harder they tried, the difficult it got.

“Do you think it is easy for me? Seeing you with another girl? Constantly living with a feeling that your love is just another thing you can’t have? But believe me, I’m coping with all these just because I know this is right and I have no right to steal someone else’s love!”

The doorbell rang again! This time it was Amrita for sure.

“Komal!! What a surprise! You never met after that day! Are you that busy?”

“I tried, but I was too much held up with my work. You know why! They make news of everything these days! Just came here to pick some of my stuffs but I’d better be going now.”

“Aditya told me the other day, how you helped to bring him out of that hacking claim. I am indebted to you! You are really a good friend! I’ll be lucky to have such a nice friend around.”

“Well… not for long! I’ve been promoted in my office and I’d be shifting to New Delhi the coming month. But I’ll surely be in touch with you and Aditya! You two are my most beloved ones…”

And without letting anyone ask anything else, Komal went past the apartment door, leaving Aditya & Amrita on the other side.

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...
