Prologue
"I am going to Arnav's house" Akash said "Any messages you want me to pass on?"
"Invite him to come over and have dinner with us" Payal,his wife said "It's been so long since we have seen him"
Akash nodded "But you do know he might not agree like the previous times"
Payal nodded and sighed "But it's worth a try"
"Okay"
******************************************************
"Arnav" Akash called out.
Arnav sighed and turned around "What are you doing here?"
"Just came to meet you buddy"
Akash was about to step into the garden where Arnav was standing but Arnav stopped him "No don't! Don't take a step forward"
Akash looked at him confused but then he remembered "Oh right.I am sorry"
Arnav led Akash inside his home.They sat on the couch in front of the blazing fire place.Arnav looked at Akash "What is so important you interrupted my time with her?"
Akash sighed "When are you going to let go of her?"
Arnav stood up quickly "Get out" he said in a dangerously low voice.
"Arnav?"
"GET OUT!"
Akash stood up "Fine.I am leaving but before I do,let me tell you Payal has invited you for dinner"
"I am not coming"
"As usual
"Why bother ask? I am happy in my garden"
Akash sighed and left.
******************************************************
"I am home"
"What did he say"
"He declined"
"Did you even try to persuade him?"
"He is possessed by his garden"
Payal looked at Akash confused "What do you mean?"
Akash looked at Payal "It's really his story to tell.A very tragic one at that"
