He hugged her tight for the last time, kissing her hair gently he pulled back, their hands still entwined " Bye girlfriend!" He said naughtily to which she amusedly replied "Ciao Boyfriend!"
Smiling he took a step back their eyes still locked while the final call was made to all passengers flying to New York. "Its time!" She said the smile still intact on her face. He slowly moved back leaving her hand, one final glance her way, he left!
She watched his retreating back and turned to leave.
Opening the door of her apartment she got in and placed the bag full of groceries on the dining table when her phone buzzed.
"Hey, Tara Wadup?!" She said casually.
"Ah yes he left I just got back from the airport." She answered.
"Ok cool. See you around then." She said smiling into the phone and hung up.
Her eyes fell over to the bags and she decided to finish unpacking that and then head on for other work.
As she began unpacking things one by one her eyes fell on the box of chocolate cookies.
Seating herself she took a deep breath and all hell broke loose, her body started shaking as she cried her eyes out.
Only she knew how much insane amount of control she had had to exercise on herself to bid him a happy farewell. She had masked her emotions so well that she deserved an award for it! She had been dreading this day from the past one month now and it had finally come and broken her over. He was gone!
The toppers of their B School who everyone wanted to be associated with for obvious reasons they possessed looks, knowledge and skill to kill for!
They were the typical brats shown in movies! Both had a similar problem too. Allergic to relationships! Not wanting to get caught up in all this relationship mess they moved around as though dating each other so the signal went out loud and clear to every person who was interested that they were unavailable!
Truth only they knew and they had never crossed the lines of their friendship even jokingly!
They loved each other's company, had the time of their lives in these two years and made memories they would cherish for their entire lifetime!
Untill one fine day the very feisty Khushi Kumari Gupta realized she had fallen hard for Arnav Singh Raziada, bestfriend to her & her boyfriend to the world!
What started off as a casual bond would turn into something so strong that her world would come crashing down without him in it scared her to death.
But she knew she had to let him go, for one he'd roll on the floor and laugh and make her look like a fool if he got to know and second, she knew his dreams and wishes were most important to him and she wanted him to do and have everything he ever desired for.
And thus probably the most difficult phase of her life had begun and she had absolutely no clue how to deal with it but she knew she would, she HAD to!
There was no other choice but to live, even if it meant without him!
