Chapter 2
The next morning Arjun is with the head sister of the orphan while Teiji is playing outside with the children. It was a good sunny day. Arjun is in the head sister's office- room, they are discussing over a cup of tea.
Sister: - I'm really happy to see you, thank you for giving us your time Arjun.
Arjun: - How are you doing sister & what about the orphan?
Sister: - Thankfully we are doing pretty god thanks to God & people who help us, who help those little children. Arjun I forgot to tell you, Radhika came today, she leaved just a few minutes before you came. I guess you both were keeping in touch with each other.
Arjun is really surprised to hear that Radhika came to the orphan, she wants to meet her but is also a bit afraid to face her as he feels sorry toward her, they lost contact with each other because of him.
Sister: - She came yesterday to India, did you met her?
Arjun: - I see, well we didn't talked to each other for a long time, I'm looking forward to see her.
Teiji was playing with the children in the little garden, they were playing hide & seek. Radhika was heading towards the children, she saw them running around & Teiji trying to catch up. Saying them playing happily, made her smile, she remembered how she used to play with her friends back then & Arjun. She then moved to the back of the orphan, there was an apple tree, Arjun used to climb on the middle part to grab apples & Radhika was catching them. Radhika was just sitting near the tree & wandering about the good old days. At this moment she wished Arjun was there, if only she could see his face...
Arjun joins & plays with the kids as Teiji feels already tired.Radhika is on her way to leave the orphan, she passes by the garden on the front & suddenly someone grabbed her hand from behind. Radhika once thought that it's a kid but the hand was a strong and big one. Somehow it was familiar, she didn't turned back to see who is it.Arjun came in front of her, his eyes were covered with a red scarf. Radhika was looking at him, seeing his face & how tall he is she thought that this is somehow how Arjun will look like, this is how she she used to imagine him. Right now she wants to see who this is, she wants to see his eyes & hear his voice, she becomes curious. Some kids came near them & starting laughing as Arjun caught a girl. Arjun reacts & get rid of the scarf, he sees her, he is still holding her hand. Theylook at each other silently, he then leaves her hand, Radhika's heart was bitting fast,why is she nervous, who is he, why his eyes seem to be so familiar...She wanted to know more about him, she wanted to talk to him.
Arjun: - Sorry...
Then he leaves. This voice was so familiar, it was as if her Arjun was talking to her, he always used to thank her, to apologize or even call her by her name softly. Teji joins Arjun laughing at him, Arjun asks him to get ready as they are getting late. Arjun is driving & Teiji is sitting on the front next to him. It's raining, Teiji notices an ice cream street vendor & asks Arjun to stop the car. Arjun refuses but Teji insists & ends up irritating him as usual in order to finally persuade him. Arjun orders the ice creams, when he is about to order a sweet voice orders at the same time:
Radhika: - Bhaiya, starwberry ice cream please.
Arjun turns back & notices that she is the same girl from the orphan. Arjun pays for the ice creams, she also takes hers on a right hand while she is holding her umbrella on the other hand. Because of the strength of the wind, she looses her umbrella & her ice cream falls on the shoe of Arjun.
Radhika: - I'm so sorry.
Arjun looks at her with angry eyes,Teji who is near the car catches the umbrella. Radhika searches her bag & takes a handkerchief to clean help Arjun cleaning her shoes as hehas 2 ice-creams on his hands. Arjun is feeling uncomfortable, Teiji on the other hand is rushing towards them to give the umbrella to his owner.
Arjun: - It's ok...I'm fine.
Radhika finishes cleaning them, Teiji gives her umbrella. Radhika thanks her. Her hair was flowing & wet, Arjun couldn't stop avoiding to look at her innocent eyes.
Teiji: - Your ice cream...
Radhika: - Oh...It's ok.
Arjun: - Here is your ice cream, eat it fast & then let's leave.
Teiji: - Ok buddy!
Radhika's umbrella is broken, she can't fix it, Arjun sees that she is trying a hard time with it. He then lands his ice cream to Teiji and joins her to help her.
Arjun: - May I?
Radhika gives him the umbrella, she is covering her head with her hands, she keeps looking at him innocently. Her heart keeps betting, who is she behaving like this, why is she nervous when he is around her, is there a connection between them...She remembered the last time they met when they were teenagers. It was a rainy day like today. Destiny bought them together but their meeting was too short, she thought that she'll recognize him right away but Arjun was faster than her.
Back to present, he is fixing her umbrella till 5 minutes, he finishes and then puts it above her head, she is holding it tightly. Arjun turns his back to leave but her calling stops him.
Radhika: - Who are you? It's you right...
Arjun seems to recognize her voice, maybe it's her or maybe not but he feels deep inside his heart that he is attached to her. He hesitates to turn towards her, then she came in front of him. She looks at him a few seconds, without saying anything & tears in her eyes.
Radhika: - Arjun...Arjun!!!
Arjun was about to turn but he steps out, he doesn't want to go near her, to face her and talk to her. He is still turning his back but has to move into his car, he has no other choice than facing her to move from there.
Radhika: - You're Arjun right?
Arjun: - I'm sorry, you're mistaking me.
Arjun joins Teji, they are eating the ice creams, near the small shop where the car is parked. Radhika is waiting there for her friend's car, she is looking toward Arjun, she is pretty upset that the guy is not who she thought to be. However she acknowledges the fact that deep inside there is still something about him, then how come she asks him if he is Arjun, her childhood friend and first love. She had so many questions in her mind but no answers. She can only keep thinking about them and Arjun.
Teji keeps talking nonsense as usual while eating his ice cream but Arjun is lost in his thoughts, he then remembered the promise he kept to Radhika a few years ago when they where in their last teens'.
Flashback: After Arjun & Radhika entered the orphan, the rain started to stop. They met the head sister & they are now spending some time with the children. Arjun is dressing the table with what he & Radhika bought for the children. In the garden, Radhika is playing with a few kids, Arjun keep glancing at her while arranging the snacks & food. Radhika then comes with the kinds, they start to sit around the table and both Arjun & Radhika serve them the drinks while the children serve the food themselves with the help of a sister. They come toward the same kid and they bump into each other lightly, he apologized to her and she smiles at him.
A few minutes later, after cleaning the table, the two teenagers are having tea in the garden, near the small playground under the big tree where they used to play together back then. They feel quiet nostalgic being there together after such a long time. Arjun keep telling him about his whereabouts, she keeps staring at her while he is talking in a very enthusiastic way. Arjun looks at her, she notices that she keeps looking at him.
Arjun: - What happened? He asked her
Radhika: - Oh...Nothing...Well actually...It has been 10 years since we part away right?
Arjun stares at her, she looks at him.
Radhika: - The day after tomorrow I'm moving to London, I got admit in a ballet dancing school. It would be awesome if you come to my home for a meal and meet my parents and you can also see my other buddies...What if we lose contact with each other, how are we going to find each other?
Arjun looks at the sky, he takes a deep breath while thinking of his answer then he answers her looking into his eyes intensely.
Arjun: - No matter what I'll recognize you just by your voice and those eyes, even after so many years I'm used to them.
Radhika is taken aback, she didn't expected to hear that, that too from Arjun, she is really surprised, she is happy to hear those words but is unable to show her happiness, her feelings towards him afraid of his reaction. She is caressing the green grass with her left hand, on the other hand she was wearing some pretty bracelets. They finished drinking the tea, Arjun gets up handing his hand towards Radhika to help her getting up. She takes his hand with a shy smile and bright eyes & gets up. His hand was cold but soft, it felt strange to touch his hand. She was feeling nervous but she liked it, she wanted to hold his hand forever and tell him how she feels right now, but she couldn't. Right from the moments she took his hand her heart was betting faster, she could feel butterflies in her stomach, it was the first time in her life that she felt so much emotions.
Back to present: Arjun & Teji are in the car, Teji is driving this time. Arjun's eyes are closed, he is resting a bit and thinking about the moment he bumped into Radhika after 8 years. He didn't kept his promise as he was unable to recognize Radhika and refused to acknowledge her. Yes he regrets his words but what to do, he didn't wanted her to come closer to him and see his meaningless life.
It's already late night, Radhika is chatting with her friend in her room over some coffee. She is looking at the moon and the starts through the windows, it's a calm night after the heavy rainy day. Her friend who is sitting on the bed notices that she seems disturbed from the moment she returned back from the orphan.
Jasmine: - Everything alright?
Radhika: - Patha nahi yaar...I'm still thinking about that guy, he was a stranger but I felt a deep connection when I saw him...His voice, his face...I thought that it would be Arjun.
Jasmine: - You still have no news about him even after all those years?
Radhika: - I didn't got any letters or answers for my calls since 6 years. I really wanna find him,I want to know how he is doing, leaving, there is not a single day where I can't stop thinking about him.
Jasmine: - Seems like you are still not over with your first love.
Radhika goes back to her friend, she sits next to her and stay silent a few seconds. She knows she can trust her friend, her only best friend in India, she decides to ask for her help to find Arjun now that she came back to India. When her friend asked her whether she will tell him about her feelings during all that time once they'll meet each other she had no idea what to say. What if he has someone in his life, how is he gonna react to her feelings, did he ever had a place for her in his heart or was she just his childhood best friend. The fact is that Arjun was and is still first in her heart and she couldn't remove that special place of him in her life. If she has to do it sooner or later she have to find Arjun before.
