FF: You're not Alone(Part 12-Pg 34) - Page 20

Arnav pulled back from the hug and looked away. Gulit seeping through his every vain. Khushi cupped his left cheek and wiped the tear on his face. Arnav looked into her eyes as Khushi smiled at him.

"Arnav…"

"Hmm.."

"I'm hungry, can I have something to eat?"

"Huh?"

"I said I'm hungry…. Jalebi would do…." She said and winked at Arnav.

"Oh yeah…. I'll go and get something for u…" Arnav said and got up to leave. He stopped as he felt someone pulling at his hand.

"Mat jao…. Please.." Khushi said looking down.

"Khushi…. I'll be back…" Arnav placed a hand on hers.

"No, Just be here… By my side. Nowadays this loneliness scares me."

Arnav sat beside her as Khushi laid her head on his lap. Arnav was taken aback by this sudden act of his. Not that he was not used to it. But he had not expected the change so soon. His mind shifted to a beautiful memory.

Arnav and Akash sat under a tree in their garden waiting for Khushi. It was their regular meeting place. Arnav had the tree's trunk supported to his back while Akash sat beside him plucking at the grass. Akash repeatedly kept glancing at his watch and frowned. Arnav noticed and placed a hand on his shoulder.

"She'll come yaar. Have patience!!"

"seriously Arnav! This girl is driving me crazy! Late aane ka agar koi award ho toh who Khushi ko hi milega…(If there was an award for coming late, Khushi would win it!)" Akash frowned.

"Looks like soneone's praising me!"

The two men looked up from their so-called conversation and saw the lady standing infront of them. She was in a black tank-top with her shorts. Her hair was let out loose. Arnav turned to find a gaping a Akash.

Khushi sat down in between Arnav and Akash with her head resting on Srnav's shoulder. Akash noticed this. Not that he was feeling insecure.

"Haw Khushi!!! Shaadi mujhse aur sir Arnav ke Kandhe pe??(U gonna marry me but placing ur head on Arnav's shoulder?)" Akash said with a teasing grin.

Arnav felt a little uncomfortable when he heard it and fidgeted in his place. This didn't go unnoticed by Khushi. Without lifting her head, she looked at Akash and said,

"Look Akash, even if we get married tomorrow… Arnav will remain my best friend. We'll be like this only, ok?"

"Okay meri ma… I don't have any problem!" Akash replied.

Arnav snapped out of his memory as he saw a peacefully sleeping Khushi on his lap. The smile wasback on her face. A smile automatically crept his lips.

It's hard when you miss people. But, you know, if you miss them it means you were lucky. It means you had someone special in your life, someone worth missing.

Anjali walked into her room making all her efforts to clear the thoughts. Of HIM. Would he ever come back? She didn't know the answer. She had been looking for them since then. The memories never left her. She sat on the bed as silent tears escaped her eyes. Her eyes fell on the picture on the side-table. his picture. She picked it up and stared at it. A faint smile curved her lips. She ran her hand lovingly over the picture as memories of Him flooded her mind.

Kahan ho tum Kunal? U know…. I miss u so much! Please come back…..

She silently continues to sob as she hugged his pic against her chest. how she wished he could hear her heartbeat through the pic and comeback to her. She wanted him so badly. He was her everything. And she knew he was somewhere out there waiting for the right time to come back.

Anjali's silent sobs were broken by a ring on her phone. Absent-mindedly Anjali picked up the phone and placed it on her hear.

"Hello?"

SILENCE.

"Hello? Who's this?"

SILENCE.

The eerie silence on the other side sent chills down her spine. She was not liking the silence at all. Somewhere in her heart she knew something was about to happen. Anjali held the phone meekly against her ear for a few more minutes. Not getting any response, Anjali finally decided to hang the phone when she heard someone speak from the other side.

"Hello"

The voice. She could realize the voice in her deepest slumbers. She knew the voice so well. She knew to whom the voice belonged to. Unable to believe what she had heard Anjali stayed mute.

"Anjali?"

Good God!! It was him! How much she had wanted to hear her name from his mouth.

"K- Ku- Kunal?" Anjali finally managed to blirt.

"Haan Anji…. Its Kunal… your Kunal... Happy 6^th anniversary Anjali…. Hope we meet soon…."

Happy Anniversary? Anjali's thought raced as she looked at the clock.

** 12.00 AM **

Anjali couldn't believe what was happening around her. She had always wanted this to happen. But her mind was so boggled that everything started to darken in front of her eyes. And with one loud thud Anjali dropped to the floor. The phone springing down along with her.

"Anjali!!!!!! ANJI are u alright?? Anji… Kunal's coming back! Anji are u listening?!!" Kunal's scream fell on deaf ears. He knew what he had to do. And he would exactly do that.
