That night he tried her number many time but she didn't reply ,, again next day was d same story ,, he wanted to visit her house but that was looking odd coz she told him that there wr guests in her house so he dropped d idea ,, he was desperate to talk her but he cd only wait * next day when he reached KC he find her absent ,, now he panicked nd went to her house ,, there wr many ppl at d house ,,his heart skipped many beats nd an unknown fear engulfed him ,, he entered nd got d shock of his life ,, there was a big frame of a man ( Pari's Dad) with a garland he understood what had happened nd why Pari was not replying d phone ,, then he looked around nd find Pari in a corner clinging to her mom surrounded with many ladies but she was looking lil diff ,, her hair wr tied in a loose bun ,, some redness in her partition ,, his breath struck in his throat nd he examined her more ,, there wr few red bangles in her wrists ,, he was unable to see d black beads chain in her neck which was covered with her dupatta ... NO ,, it can't be ,, NO ,, his heart cried out ,, their eyes met nd tears rolled down from her eyes but she didn't come to him ,, with heavy heart he offered flowers to pay his homage nd came out silently with numerous questions in his mind ,, he didn't go back to KC nd went FH ,, cried out losing of his 1^st love .

There wr many questions in his mind nd only Pari cd solve them ,, spending many hrs there he consoled nd composed himself ,, there was no point to call her in this situation ,, with heavy heart he returned to KV nd shut himself in study to avoid Dadima's questions ,, every day was a death for him waiting for her ,, Pari sent only mail for emergency leave to manager ,, whole staff came to know about her father's demises .

After 15 days she appeared in d office nd whole staff surrounded her ,, all wr very sad for her lose ,, some asked about her sudden marriage nd she described them in short ,, Pari came in Maan's office with puffed eyes nd dull face but she was wearing d marriage signs ,, he saw her nd stood from his chair ,, both wr tongue tight ,, they wr in a very odd situation even they lost their previous friendship closeness too ,, her marriage signs wr stopping him to hug her ,, tears roled down from Pari's eyes nd her pain moistened his eyes ,, he quietly turned nd went to near office window ,, after few min of silent cries Pari came near him .

Pari: i'm sorry Maan , I was not in that situation to call u ,, everything happened so sudden nd Dad left us .

Maan only gave a painful look to her then courage to held her from her shoulders nd brought to sit in sofa , gave a glass of water to her nd sat near her .

Maan: what had happened ?

Pari sniffed nd described him all d happening from that day ...

** Maan when I went home everything was fine nd Dad nd Mom wr talking to Uncle's ( her Dad's friend, wife nd son Yash) family ,, at dinner time Dad got a stroke nd we rushed to hospital ,, he was treated nd dr informed that he is critical coz that was his 2^nd stroke ,, he was on life support system ,, nd dr asked bypass surgery ,, d situation was very panic nd Dad requested uncle to look after me nd mom if something happened to him ,, uncle nd aunty promise him nd uncle even said that they r ready to make me their DIL if he agreed ,, Dad looked at me nd mom ,, mom gave her willingness nd Dad took my hand nd placed that on Yash ,, he is a very nice guy nd my parents love him from childhood ,, Dad requested me to fulfill his last wish nd I was speechless ,, I couldn't voice out my few hrs love in front of him ,, his life nd wish was much bigger than this few hrs love relation with u ,, I couldn't deny him ,, he was my Dad nd asking me to fulfill his last wish ,, I accepted his wish thinking that u understood my feelings for my dad coz u knew d value of relations nd importance of parents for a child ,, in an hr Yash filled my maang nd tied d mangalsutra in my neck in in an Arya Samaaj Temple nd we wr back to hospital to take Dad's blessing ,, Dad went to OT nd didn't come out ,, rest u knew ,, I'm sorry Maan , I was helpless, but I hope u understood my feeling nd duties of a child ,, tears wr flowing from her eyes ,, with heavy heart Maan wiped them .**

Maan: It's ok Pari ,, u r right at ur place ,, don't feel bad nd move on ,, ur new life is waiting for u .

He said those words to console her but his heart was crying losing his love for ever ,,, Pari was helpless at her place nd he was helpless at his,, he cdn't forget her .

Pari: Maan we wr good friends nd I want my old friend back ,, plzz forget those few hrs ,, u wr my friend nd in future too I want to be ur friend hope u won't disappoint me .

Man nodded in a yes with broken heart ,, nd Pari gave a weak smile with a thanks .

Pari: Maan , i'm leaving for Australia after 10 days for few months ,, uncle wanted some legal formalities there ,, so have to go ,, they have their business there,, mom is also going with me after finishing some rituals here .

Then she discussed some more matters nd left placing her resignation in HR dept ,, Days passed nd she went Australia .

Maan became a rock ,, d failure of his love broke his heart ,, 1^st he lost pari when his parents left him nd now he lost her again for ever coz of her Dad's last wish ,, he shut him in a shell nd his aloofness made him rough nd rude,, he cut off himself form all, only talked to Dadima properly ,, spent time in exercise ,work nd work after that ,, no parties (except business),shopping nd outing , bcoz all these things reminded him d time he spent with Pari .

Precap - drifting apart ...

And when we're together, my past seems worth it.

Because if i had done one thing differently,

I might never have met you.
