-Kriya POV-

I look around disoriented as I try fruitlessly to get my heartbeat to be healthy. There were my classmate dancing around and having fun. Then my eyes found him. He was there right in the center of everybody but right across from me. He seems to have been looking at me.

His eyes held questions that I didn't dare search answers for. I look away breaking the eye-contact. I picked my bag lying on the grass and start walking towards the bus stop. I needed distance from him. Nothing like this has ever happened to me. I was stun and scared from him, his feelings and most of all, my feelings.

Just as I reached the bus stop, I heard him calling my name, but I didn't stop. He calls me once more and then it gets quiet. Just as I stop at the bus stop, I felt somebody grab my wrist and turn me around. I turn to find him looking at him with a blank face hiding all his emotions.

I was about say something to him when I saw our bus come."The bus is here,"I say as I turn to face the bus seeing dark clouds of rain coming fast. He slowly let's go of my hand not wanting to create a scene, but I felt his gaze on me.

Ignoring him, I got on the bus. Scanning my card, I walked inside and took the seat in the far corner. I move to the window side waiting for him. I felt him come and sit beside me. As the bus starts moving, I turn to him. I smile at him and finally talk breaking my silence, "so... it's the last day."

He takes a minute to ponder about his answer and then answer me with a question quite seriously, which is unlike him, "Are you that happy that I'm leaving?" I always knew that he is only here for the summer quarter. It was inevitable but still, I always thought it was too far away. Now that day is here in front of me; I am not sure how to react to it.

I frown and then shake my head, "No, I am happy that you are going to UC San Francisco. It's a great opportunity, Reyansh. Cheer up!" I say genuinely smiling nudging my shoulder with his as I quietly add looking out, "All this hard work I am doing today is only to get into that school."

"I'm sure you will," he replies smiling as well making me release a breath of relief that I didn't even know I was holding. I didn't like his anger mode. I like him smiling. He looks scary when angry, especially when I am the reason for it."Maybe we will see each other again when you come there," he says slowly when I didn't say anything. I nod and smile and look out feeling a gloominess crowding of the inevitable Good-bye.

-Reyansh POV-

I could feel her pulling away. She was building her walls again. I can see it. I just didn't get why. Why is she so different from all the other girls? I have known her for three months. On the surface, I can tell you anything about her from what she said to Zoey to what her sister yelled at her for yesterday but do I know her? Nope. I don't think so. There is a secret that she hides behind her long lashes as she turns her gaze down. I want to know that secret. I want to share her pain.

The girls of today are so modern, including the Indian girls. But she is different. Very different. Even now when she is with me, she is so cautious. It's not like we are in Indian. We are in the US. Nobody looks at you twice when they see a boy and a girl together.

And it's not like we go out of campus but still she is very cautious about it. It's as if somebody is always looking over her shoulder, which I know isn't true. I have checked. So then what's the problem? Why is she so scared of being seen with me? Why is she so afraid of us? Why is she afraid of my feelings? Her feelings?

I use to think she is religious, but I don't think that's the reason. I feel like she is fine with other guys. It's as if it's me who she is afraid off or has a problem with. But she likes me! She trusts me! I, know it. I can swear on any holy book and take a lie detector, but I know I'm correct.

She likes me very much, and it's not because of my fame or my money. She likes me for me, and I have seen that in her eyes. Heck, I can see the sadness that she feels now knowing it's a goodbye. I hear it in her soft sighs.

I sigh frustrated and look ahead as I ponder about this situation tapping my hand. No matter what, I won't let her go. I love her and want to spend my lifetime with her. I can't give up on her knowing if I lose her now, I might never get this chance again, and I will regret it for the rest of my life.

"Hey," I heard her call me. I turn to her and look at her questioningly. "Want to listen to a song with me," she asks me out of the blue. I smile but slightly confuse as she has never done anything like this before. She hands me the left side as she plugs her earbud. I follow and also put my earbud piece. I give her a smile, and she hits play.

-Third Person POV-

At that moment, the bus pulls up at their stop, and Kriya all but pushes him away and get off the bus. Reyansh follows behind her quickly. They both quietly crossed the road and started walking down the street towards their on, street. Nobody said a word not that they didn't anything to say but they couldn't for their sole reasons. Both were lost in their thoughts, but neither wanted this to end for one reason as there might never be a next time to walk like this together.

But the world is cruel; it serves us the worst dish in the most beautiful platter. The same happened to them. Before either of them realized, they were standing where they stood that first day when they walked together in front of Reyansh's apartment complex. The only difference was last time it started a journey if new friendship and today, that friendship might end.

-Reyanash POV-

"Kriya," I say as I reach out to grab her hand, but she takes a step back. I frown and bring my hand back to myself as I look at her. "Kriya, please don't do this," I say as I take a step towards her making her take a step back. She shakes her head. "No, Reyansh. Please, don't make it harder than it needs to be," Kriya says shaking her head as she looks away not meeting my eyes.

"But why?" I demanded her as I take a step towards her making her take a step back again. She only shakes her head. I stay quiet as I stare at her as she keeps her gaze away from me. As I was about to take a step towards her, she takes a towards me and gives her hand for a shake. I look at her questioningly as I slowly give her my hand. "Best of luck for the future! I wish and pray that you get all the happiness in the future," she wishes genuinely smiling. I knew she meant it.

"Why are you saying like it is the last time?" I ask as I don't let her hand go looking right in her eyes. I wasn't going to give up on us. I wasn't going to let her go. "Because it is," she says firmly as she struggles to take her out. "Our time was only so this far, and now it is up," she adds determinedly. I knew she likes me, and she knows I like her then why? Why was she making it so hard?

Frustrated by her constant denial and ignorance, I leave her hand and grab her arms tightly as I pull her close, "Oh really! Who are you to decide for us?" I ask with anger. Her eyes which were in pain a second ago turn into fire. "Who am I?" she demanded as she looks at me with daggers in her eyes. "I am Kriya!" she says poking her finger in my chest. Surprise at her outburst, my grip on her loose and I take a step back from the power of her anger.

"I am the girl who never get to decide anything in her life. I am the girl whose half decisions were made by God and the other by those relatives who I considered my own," she says as her voice break as tears start to run down her face. I couldn't tell as words leave me seeing her like this. "Finally, I decided to take control of my life and do things right for once," she says as she harshly wipes her tears.

"I am sorry. I knew this was wrong. I knew this had no future, but I didn't stop," she says after a minute looking at me with defeated eyes. "But I have to stop now before it's too late," she adds another sob escape her lips. "I can't take it anymore. Mera paas himat nahi bachi hai, Reyansh. Mein toot jaaoge. Bikhar jaaoge," she says looking at me with helplessness making my heart whimper at her pain.

I look at her with unshed tears in my eyes as take a step towards her, but she immediately takes two steps back making me stop as I look at her with outstretch hands. "Kriya, please let me help you. I..." I was about to give words to my feelings when I saw her close her eyes as if protecting herself as my words of love were thorns to her not soft rose petals. And couldn't continue. I couldn't say those words. Woh teen laafz mein nahi keh paya. Bas nahi keh paya. Uska chehra pay aek dard tha. Aek dar tha. Mein bas nahi keh paya. Woh waha khari thi mera samna lekin mein nahi keh paya. Uska dard nai mujhe majboor kar dia tha. Bas nahi keh paya mein.

"Fine, I let you go," I say defeating as I look down taking two steps back. She slowly open her eyelids and look at me with surprise. She gives me a smile breaking my heart all over again. "Bye," she coos as she takes another step back going away from me. "Can I, at least, have your number, please?" I ask desperately wanting anything to at least have a way of contacting her again sometime. She gives me a tight smile and shakes her head. Uss ne phir mujhe aek akhri baar aankh bhar k dheka aur phir woh murh k chalti chali gaye. Mein waha pay khara raha. Uska intezar karta raha ka woh aek baar murh kr dhekhege magar usne aek baar na dheka.
