THE WIND BENEATH MY WINGS !
So I was the one with all the glory,
while you were the one with all the strength.
A beautiful face without a name for so long.
A beautiful smile to hide the pain.
randhir's hand trembled while taking the letter from vidushi , slowly but with consistency his worst fear was coming true . he gulped down the saliva.
So I was the one with all the glory,
while you were the one with all the strength.
A beautiful face without a name for so long.
A beautiful smile to hide the pain.
I can fly higher than an eagle,
'cause you are the wind beneath my wings.
'cause you are the wind beneath my wings.

he started reading it but could not complete . the letter fell from his hands . he started walking in some random direction .
she saw the whole incident . she knew this would happen , that she could not keep this news from him for long , that she would tell him the truth when time comes . but this wasn't that time . she knew how weak he was from inside , just that he presents his ruins as castles and acts as a king doesn't mean he's impregnable to emotions .
he went to the library and sat on the floor . how he wanted to cry but couldn't . the worst feeling in the world is when you sit there shattered , no tears because it's all dried up now and you know that you can just die away and no one would know because no one cares .
he closed his eyes and remembered his old childhood days , how he never had the joy of playing football with his dad because his dad was always too drunk even to stand . how his mother had no time to sing those sweet lullabies to him . how he always came up with excuses when parents teachers meet took place cause his parents were too busy to listen to all the praise and glory of their son's brilliance . how every night his parent's fought . how when he got selected in FITE and thought being away from home would solve his problems . well in that matter it wasn't a *home* it was just a house of cement and bricks .
she saw him there . she did not know what to do . but one thing that she decided was to not leave him alone like this . she closed the door of the library and went up and sat beside him . he seemed lost . she kept her hand on his shoulder making him come out of his thoughts .
it would be all right ... she said ..
he smiled .. you don't know what am going through ... how would you know you did not have a broken family like mine .
there is no such thing as broken family randhir .. family is a family , and is not determined by blood . families are made in the heart . it's the people in your life who want you in theirs . jiggy , vardhaan sir , i and everyone else in the collage is your family . no matter what happens i will always be there for you ... she said emphasizing on the word *always*
he rested his head on her shoulders ...
best friend ki sangati ka asar ho raha hai ... philosophy crap ha ?
he isn't my friend .. she said her eyes becoming glassy
why ? what happened ...
how can he hurt you like this ? she said all angry now . i cannot stand a person who fights with you ...
randhir felt light ... at least he has a person in his life who genuinely cares for him . but he wanted to take the advantage of the situation ...
why do you care for me ?
hmmm yeah ... because ... be... cause ... you are a good engineer an ..d ... and ... you ... you are also ... al...so a good person... and it's just that ... i ...
sanyukta ? i don't have the whole day with me ... he said smiling
we are a family right ... i mean the whole collage is a family and you .. and i are also family .. so
yeah take your time ... he placed his head in her lap .. she caressed his face . he knew he was safe in here . she started playing with his hairs .
sanyukta ..
yes ... she said
thank you..
shhh ! it's okay .. family right ...
he felt happy . he felt free , as if he had attained nirvana as they say . finally his mind and heart were friends . his body and sole had reached a common platform . he had lost something but in the process found the most precious thing of his life . their equation had changed somehow . he didn't even feel any emotions towards parth , who hit him badly , his dad who always used him against his mom as a weapon not even towards his mom , who left him .. the opposite of love isn't hate it's apathy..as long as she is with him he doesn't need anyone .. he closed his eyes and slept savouring the moment forever .
