Chapter 12
Twelve: Let Her Go
"Randhir, I'm leaving," Sanyukta said later that day, entering his bedroom. She was holding on to the sleeve of her shirt nervously. Randhir closed the screen of the laptop that he had just been on and glanced at her. Maybe it was time to let her go.
"You aren't afraid of me telling your brother?" he asked, raising an eyebrow.
She shook her head. "Do whatever you like Randhir. But I can't stay here with you anymore. There's no way."
Randhir nodded. "Alright then," he said, "Go ahead. I won't stop you."
Sanyukta stood there in front of him frozen for a moment, as if she was surprised by how easily he decided to let her go. When she was walking out of his room, she froze by the door momentarily and glanced back, before leaving his room completely.
She was already better, the purpose he had wanted her at his house for had been fulfilled. If she wanted to go, he wouldn't stop her now. She was moving on from Parth, her independence was back, and she could take care of herself. What more could he ask for?
But still, that night as he watched her leave his house with her belongings through the window, he couldn't help but feel his heart sink. He wanted to call her back, he wanted to ask her to stay with him, but he didn't. He didn't ask her to stay back.
He kept quiet again. And perhaps that was the reason that he almost lost Sanyukta. Again.

Glimpse of the next chapter, because I'm so evil that I have to end this with a cliffhanger: The next time they came face to face was two years later, on her wedding day. Next part is already written, but I want to see your reactions on this before I post it. I promise, I'm not trying to be mean to them or all of you! I'm just trying to portray how timeless love is and how keeping quiet will have consequences. Both Randhir and Sanyukta have suffered in love until now for keeping quiet in the past, and they are going to suffer once more for repeating the same mistake when life gave them a second chance. Let's see if life gives them a third chance now, and even more importantly, let's see if they learn anything this time.
This was Randhir's story up to this point. From this point on, it will be SanDhir's story. Maybe that will keep you a little hopeful! By the way, this drabble collection doesn't have a very long life now. It'll end in a few parts... just thought that I'd give you a warning from now. Once the part that I've been meaning to get to has been reached, there won't be much to say, because the story will have ended.
Okay, this note was almost as long as the drabble itself (or is it longer)? Eagerly waiting to read your views! By the way, please no tomatoes! 😆
