Staring at nothing in particular he kept on switching on and then off, the lamp shade. On, then off and then on again.
Lost. A four letter word taunted him. He had lost the most important person in his life. His best friend and love, Samaira, his Sam. He lost her smile, her laugh, her everything, to a man who didn't even loved her.
Its been one year since it all happened.
She had looked so happy after she got her Arjun back. But unknown to her, Arjun wasn't hers. At that time Arjun was only after his revenge. It had pained him everytime he saw Sam and Arjun together. Though Sam was happy but he could see and feel that everything was not right about Arjun.
And in his worry about Sam and doubt about Arjun, he had ignored his other best friend who too was behaving differently, ever since that Lonavala trip ended.
Radhika was behaving very oddly. The way she and Arjun used to look at each other, it was something else, something that he had felt. Something like love. A love full of pain.
It all came crashing when Arjun confessed about his revenge plan and the reason behind it. He had said that he could not continue with it and break Sam's heart because he was in love with Radhika, who showed him the right path.
Though Radhika, like him had seen the sincerity in Arjun's words and accepted his apology but Sam didn't. She refused to forgive the man who shattered her heart. And to avoid it all she ran away again.
Sam left everything and went to London and is now settled there only. He had learnt from Samrat Uncle that she found someone there, who loved her as much as she loved him. Abhigyan Rai. And a month before Sam and Abhigyan got married.
Everybody was happy. Arjun married Radhika and Sam was extremely happy with her husband, her true love.
The only person who was left alone, was him. Neil Malhotra. The guy who only loved and distributed happiness but instead he got a heart break and sadness and loneliness.
Neil stood up, took his car keys and walked out. He needed fresh air. So he drove towards Lovers point. He laughed sadly at the irony of the situation.
The chill of the air welcomed him. Neil took slow strides towards the edge of the cliff. Lovers point. He sighed and sat down, with his feet's left dangling down.
A soft purr like voice brought him out of his thoughts. He looked around and tried to concentrate on the sound and again he heard a soft meow kind of sound.
After searching for a minute or two, he spotted two brightly shinning eyes at the edge if the branch if the tree, which was dangerously bent downwards.
Those eyes belonged to a white colored cat who was hurt. Neil tried to save that cat. He forwarded his hand towards the cat, who looked at him strangely.
Soon he was able to save the hurt cat but he lost his balance and was about to fell down the cliff but thank god, he clutched tightly onto a strong branch if the tree.
"Why the hell this always happens with me!!" Neil roared in utter frustration, as he tried to get back on the safe ground.
"Hey bhgwaan!! I don't want to die like this!! Why bad things happen to me only?? First Sam left and got married to someone else and now this!!" he yelled.
Neil tried again and again but all his tries went in vain. The hurt cat whom he had saved was also making weird sounds. Neil prayed to God for some help and as if God was just waiting for his prayer, Neil saw a hand in front of him.
He looked up and saw a concerned looking girl who had this weird kind of expression on her face and was saying something. But he couldn't decipher what exactly she was saying.
"Ghoorna band karo! Take my hand, leave this branch and try to come up here." said the girl.
Neil shrieked, "Are you mad? If I'll leave this branch I will fall down and most probably die!!"
"Eehhh..you won't!! Trust me! I won't let anything happen to you!"
"Listen woman, you are not SRK of Main Hoon Na! How will you help me!"
"God!! I am not acting, okay!! Just try and apply some common sense! When I'll be holding your hand and pulling you to me then how the hell will you slip away! Quit behaving like a chicken and come hold my hand."
"Fine, but if something happened to me na, I swear my ghost won't leave you anytime soon."
"This is no time to joke. Here.." she forwarded her hand a little more towards Neil, who clutched her hand as tightly as he could. It took them few minutes and lots if physical efforts and Neil was rescued.
But just when Neil was about to stand, still holding that girl's hand, both of them lost their balance and fell on the ground. That girl lying on the ground and Neil over her.
Both of the stared at each other for a minute but it was disturbed by the girl herself, who said, "Ahaan..Am I that gorgeous that you are staring at me while you should thank me for saving your life?"
Neil fumbled and moved away and replied, "What!!?? No!!"
The girl gasped and said, "What what? Am I not pretty?"
Neil stood there, looking at the girl with the most weirdest expressions he could muster.
