Chapter 5 - •Nineteen Years Later~

I am feeling suffocated.....

How is it possible that after so many years, the same feelings can return… just like that?

Seeing Subho again...!

He's the reason I never married… never even dated anyone.

Because I loved him more than a sunflower loves sunlight,

and more than a peacock loves the rain.

Yes, this is my truth.

To be honest, I was the only one who loved, who cared, who cried silently.

Nobody ever knew.

Aur ek baat… we never even dated. It was one-sided.He never liked me ...I never confessed even...

It's strange… when you're the only one who loves someone unconditionally,

without expecting anything in return.

It feels unbelievable… but it was true.

For me and still it is .

I don't know why I fell for him,

when he never fell for me.

It's been nineteen years.

Nineteen years of loving him quietly.

Uske school chhodne ke baad… he never knew how much I've suffered. It was not his fault... ofcourse.

My heart always says~

Janti hu ki nhi pa sakti main tujhe,

Par mera dil har pal phir bhi

Dhoonde tujhe...

Hai kyu itni mohabbat nhi pta mujhe,

Mera dil tujhe he sirf chahe

Sirf aur sirf tujhe...

My best friends always said, "Move on, yaar. He doesn't even deserve you."

But how can I make them understand that

Dil mein koi off-button hota nahi.

Agar hota, toh ...yeh gam na hota...

Rohini calls me "Veronica" for that reason

.... after so much travelling

We finally reached our destination.

I hadn't slept the entire night;

I kept drowning in flashbacks that refused to fade.

"Rohini has booked this villa… oh my God, it's so beautiful!" Shakshi exclaimed

and me and Priyan nodded.

Then suddenly, I heard a very familiar voice behind me.

My heart stopped.

"Rohini…"

I turned around.

Rohini was running towards me,

and we hugged like it had been a hundred years.

"I was waiting for you guys" she said, excited.

"I missed you so much," I whispered, hugging her again.

And she broke into tears.

"Chalo, let me show you our room," Rohini said quickly, wiping her eyes.

"Our room? Matlab?" Shakshi asked.

"Three of us will stay together in the same room," Rohini laughed.

"Behen, iske irade kharab hain," Shakshi teased,

and we all started laughing.

In the mean time Ankush came ....Priyan finally found a company.

Rohini rolled her eyes. "I have so much to tell you!"

Then Ankush's mobile rang.

"Kiska phone hai?" Rohini asked.

"Phone uthalo baby " Rohini said

I don't know why…

but my heart started racing.
