Arnav set alone outside the dhabba in this rainy night, it was very cold and he was freezing. The aunty gave him food and blanket because he was unwilling to come inside. Khushi was watching him from the window. She slowly held out her hand and put it on the glass of window, just like fetching his soul through it. Her tears steadily made their way from her eyes down her cheeks. His heart stared pumping in speed; his heart beat sound was thunderous. He senses cold and frozen eyes watching him and ploddingly looks behind him. He saw Khushi monitoring him with her dispassionate eyes. He walks towards the window and place his hand on the exact opposite position of her hand. From the distance, it looks like their souls are buried into each other just like roots of the tree absorbed underground. But when you take a close look, you can see a wall between them.
Khushi:
Please leave. No matter how much you try
No matter how many tears you cry
You can't take my heart away again
No matter how much try, I just can't remove the pain
You are so close to met yet so far
Whichever wound is healed, will leave a scar
No matter how perfect white is, it can dirty by a single mark
It's just the same as when you bring light in the dark
Dark won't always remain dark, white won't always be perfect
Nothing is the same, I already left you and that's the fact
Please just give up and leave because I don't think you can gain back my trust
Just like today, there will always be a wall between us
Khushi removed her hand from the window and went back into the darker side of the room. He lifted his hand in the air as if he was asking her to come back. He felt dejected by her response but he didn't give up. Suddenly, they hear a thundering sound, there was a thunderstorm and she ran back to the window to check if he was still standing there to protect her.
