"Eh,miss call, wanna hear a song?" Raghu said, nudging Antara. Antara was busy texting her bestfriend.
"No,thanks. My ears are still paining from the last time you sang." Antara shudders.
"Wanna hear a song?"
"No."
"Wanna hear a song??" Raghu kept asking.
"No."
"Wanna hear a song??" Antara started to get irritated.
"Okay! Fine,sing!" Antara said, keeping her mobile down. And looked at Raghu patiently.
"Nah, i am not in the mood." Raghu shrugged.
"Pagal."
"Like you are not." Raghu fighted back.
"Oh,please! I am more of awesome than of pagal." Antara smiled brightly. Raghu smiled at her, "Is there anything on my face?" Antara worriedly,checked her face.
"Yeah,that smile.." Antara blushed at Raghu's comment, "Oh yeah,btw, your fb account is hacked."
"RAGHHHUUU!!" Raghu ran as fast as he could and Antara followed him.
Suddenly Raghu stopped and his nose was bleeding.
"Shit, Raghu! Are you okay?" Antara panicked. Raghu coughed and puked blood out. Antara stood there,shocked with what just happened.

Antara's POV.
I tried to stop these tears but they dont stop. Ajji looked at me with tears in her eyes.
"I never told you..cause... i wanted Raghu to live his life like a normal person. I know that was selfish,but i couldn't help it." Ajji looked down.
"He's gonna be fine?"
Silence..
"Right?"
Silence..
"Hey.." Raghu said,opening his eyes.
"Why?" I asked.
"why what?" Raghu asked me.
"Why did you make me fall for you?! Why!? Why is it that everytime i love someone,he. " I pointed at the sky and whispered,"He takes them away!" I sat next to Raghu and he hugged me.
"Why? Raghu answer me. Why did you suddenly enter my life? Saved my life, hundred times. Made me strong so that you could break me once again? You hate me that much? Raghu..please..don't..go." I sobbed in his shirt.
"I have to.." Raghu whispered. He kissed my forehead.
"No,you don't! You don't deserve this! What will i say to Ishaan? He is waiting for you to buy him a car.." I kept blabbering my heart out to him. Today to matter what happens, he has to listen..because afterward he'll be gone.

5 years later..
"Mumma!! Ballony!" Varsha said. The balloons fly-ed over the bridge and i ran after them. Cars honked at me,screaming at me,glaring at me.
"Didi, you should be more safe! You could've died." I smiled at the now grown up Ishaan.
"Ishu,there is this person in heaven who wont let me come there.." A tear slipped from my eyes.
They say it takes time to heal a broken heart but i ask,how much time?
