Putting the blanket over her head, Gunjan was sleeping peacefully.
"Gunjan, you know naa that today I had planned movie for us and you are sleeping?! Jaao I won't talk with ya!" - As these words became fresh in her mind, she made a puppy face in her sleep and smiled.
"Rahul, I'm sorry!", she said and suddenly jerked up. Sighing after a moment, she said to herself, "I wonder when these dreams will leave me." Saying that, she frowned. Just then, her phone buzzed. She picked up her phone. A strange smile curved on her beautiful face as she saw Samrat's name flashing on her phone screen. Receiving the call, she yawned and said..
"Hello!", Gunjan said.
"Did you have a good sleep?", Samrat asked Gunjan very sweetly.
Gunjan confusingly asked Samrat, "How do you know that I was sleeping?"
"Woh.. Actually.. I came to your home at noon and saw you sleeping deeply.", Samrat said.
Gunjan shockingly said, "You came to my home and you didn't even wake me up?!"
"I just felt not to disturb you as you were sleeping so peacefully. And most importantly, you are ill because of me and you need some rest too!", Samrat said with guilt.
"Samrat! Why are you still feeling guilty? I told naa that it was not your fault. So just relax and don't think that you are the reason of my illness.", Gunjan said in a way to make Samrat feel better.
"But..", Samrat tried to say something but Gunjan interrupted.
"But nothing okay? Arey just relax naa. I'm fine. And I'm even feeling much better after taking nap. Seriously!", Gunjan said happily.
"Really? Chalo.. Glad to hear that.", said Samrat smilingly.
"Okay, so I think that we should start working on the report today itself.", said Gunjan determinedly.
"Gunjan! Try to understand. You are..", said Samrat worriedly.
Gunjan annoyingly said, "Now phir se don't tell me that I'm ill and all that. Come on Samrat! I'm not ill. And even if I'm ill, then don't make me more ill but repeating the same thing all over again."
"Okay fine! Sorry! I won't tell it anymore. Khush?", said Samrat cutely.
"Yep! So do one thing, come over my home with all the documents and information needed to make the report. And we will work on it together. Aur waise bhi, I'm getting bored and some memories are haunting me...", said Gunjan but suddenly realized what she had said at the end.
"Some memories are haunting you means?", asked Samrat confusingly.
Gunjan pretended to smile and said, "Actually.. I mean.. When I was in Canada, I went to a haunted house with my friends, just to check out. And today suddenly, those memories are making me scared. That's it!"
Samrat burst out into laughter and said, "Oh really? That sounds kinda exciting hun."
"Yeah! It sounds exciting but please I don't wanna talk about it.", Gunjan said seriously.
"Fine Gunjan! We won't talk about it. Anyways, I'll be there within 15 mins.", said Samrat smilingly.
"Sure!", Gunjan said smilingly.
Saying that, they both hanged up the phone.
Gunjan slightly smiled. "How strange naa! Whenever I talk with Samrat, I feel so relaxed and happy. Maybe that's because he is the first person whom I can call my friend.", she said to herself.
When the word "friend" came to her mind, she was confused. "Friend? Seriously?", she said to herself. "Friendship - I could never understand this relationship. And how could I even expect myself to understand it when the person I loved with all my heart and soul and now who don't even bother about me entered into my life through this so-called relationship called friendship? Huh!"
She sighed thinking about her life. How weird her life was! No friends and no family except a brother who always lives out of town for his different works. She used to be sad all the time and feel herself very lonely, when suddenly, like a storm, a man entered her life and changed it completely. She learned to live happily, smile and to love only from him. Finally when she thought that she got the happiness she deserved, just within a blink of an eye, everything turned out to be a nightmare. At the end, her life was back to what it was before - a lonely and a desolate life.
Gunjan was lost in her thoughts about her life, when suddenly, the doorbell rang. She jerked out of her thoughts and smiled - even though it was fake. She stood up, went to the door and opened it. A broad smile curved on her beautiful face when she saw the person in front was standing with a flower bookie - now that was real.
The person moved the bookie off from his face and he was none other than Samrat. He smiled very sweetly and said, "For you!"
Gunjan took the bookie and asked raising her brows, "Suddenly?"
"Just like that. Felt like to buy it for you.", said Samrat smilingly yet his expressions were as if he was trying to hide something.
"Oh really? You can wish me get well soon. I won't mind.", Gunjan said teasing Samrat.
Samrat said nervously, "Naah I just thought if you get annoyed again so.."
"I won't! Pakka!", said Gunjan cutely.
Samrat smiled and said, "Get well soon!"
"Thank you!", said Gunjan smilingly.
Samrat said sarcastically, "Don't you have any plan to call me in?"
"Oh I'm so sorry. Come in naa!", said Gunjan and welcomed Samrat with a warm smile.
Samrat came in and looked around the whole house. It was as simple as Gunjan, he thought and smiled. Gunjan led him to the drawing room and made him sit. She sat on the couch in front of him.
"So tell me, what will you like to eat?", said Gunjan smilingly.
Samrat took a heavy breath and said, "First of all, water please!"
Gunjan smilingly said, "Sure!"
Gunjan brought a glass of water to Samrat. Samrat drank it in a way as if he felt heavely. Gunjan laughed silently putting her palm on her mouth seeing how Samrat was craving for water.
"You seem really tired! I suggest you should get fresh. After that, we can work.", said Gunjan.
"Oh thanks a lot Gunjan. Woh actually, it's too warm outside and I can't tolerate it.", said Samrat.
"Yeah I can understand! Anyways, please get fresh. Till then, let me quickly arrange for some evening snacks, that will give us strength to work.", said Gunjan smilingly.
"Oh that's okay Gunjan. No need of that.", said Samrat formally.
"Okay it's your wish if you don't wanna eat but at least let me eat naa. I'm so hungry. Woh kya hain naa.. I usually have a habit of eating something after getting up from sleep.", said Gunjan and laughed.
Samrat laughed and said sweetly, "As your wish!"
Saying that, Samrat went to the washroom and Gunjan went to the kitchen.
Samrat came to the washroom and cleaned his face thoroughly with water. He turned back to go back to the drawing room but suddenly his eyes spotted something on the rack which was hanged to the wall. He went close to it and saw two torn pieces of a photograph. He picked up a piece and saw Gunjan in the photo. He picked up the other piece and saw the pic of a man, probably 2-3 years older to Gunjan. He was confused. Just then, he realized that something was written at its back. He turned it back and there was written..
"Loves Rahul <3!"
That made him even more confused. He checked Gunjan's torn photo at the back and there was written..
"Gunjan.."
He seemed to understand something. He took the two torn pieces and put it together placing those at the back and then he read the full sentence..
"Gunjan Loves Rahul <3!"
"Why is this photo kept like this? The photo can easily tell about the relationship between Gunjan and the guy Rahul. Then why is it torn apart? Is it mean that Gunjan went through the same sorrow I'm going through now? Or may be she is still going through it?", Samrat thought confusingly.
Precap:
"Can we be friends, Gunjan?"😳
Gunjan in confusion!😕
