~Good Bye~

As I lied down on my bed at night, I just couldn't help myself recollecting every moment I spend with you. I adored you right from the moment we met on DID and when we had our first 'mejical' performance on Khuda Jaane. I have watched that video numerous times but it always feels more and more special when I watch it again. We came closer while doing Dil Dosti Dance. Shooting and spending the entire day with you became my daily routine.

However, things have changed. You left Dil Dosti Dance for pursuing dancing, which had always been your dream. I am still stuck here struggling to portray the 'Rey' I used to be. It feels like you have deserted me just like 'Kriya'.

I know you should go ahead and follow your dreams, but I don't want you to leave me. I know I am being self-centred, but it's really hard to live without you. I love you Shakti Mohan Sharma.

It feels good expressing me and letting everything out.

I know you'll be leaving soon. The first week of May is already over.

I won't let you know what I feel about you and what you are to me because I don't want to ruin the bond we share. I can't express my love to you on the cost of our friendship.

Next Morning

The doorbell rang waking me up from 'our' dreams. God! I am being crazy. It's just you all around. 'Our dreams' I chuckled at the thought.

I opened the door to see the last person I had expected at my doorstep at this hour.

"Shakti." I murmured and was surprised to see after so long. I ushered her in.

It isn't like she can't be at my doorstep but like I said things have changed and so have we. She is now busy with all her dance performances and other opportunities coming her way. And me? Shooting for a serial isn't an easy task, it requires you to spend your day and night working for it. In short, we both don't have time for each other, no matter how much I miss her, maybe she misses me too.

She didn't give me a welcome hug, the way she would always embrace me whenever we met, it hurt.

"I am leaving tonight." she said hoarsely and I just didn't know what to say.

Should I tell her not to leave? Ask her to stay back for me? Tell her that I love her? No. I had to control myself.

"So soon?" was all I could manage.

"I need some time to settle down there as the academy starts at the end of this month."

"Alright." I answered and looked away.

"I have something for you." She spoke up after long moments of silence.

She handed me a skilfully packed present which seemed to be like a photo frame.

"Can I open this now?" I asked her really curious to see the contents.

"Not before I leave."

The very next moment she got up from her place and was about to leave.

I caught hold of her hand not letting her go and pulled her into a long hug. She embraced me back tighter as if she had been waiting to be in my arms. Tears streamed down my eyes as the realization dawned upon me that I won't be able to embrace her for the next 3 months.

I pulled back when I felt her sobs. She was crying and it hurt more to see my love so upset. I wiped her tears with the back of my hand and stroked her hair, while she just kept gazing at me.

"I will miss you Kunwar." It felt really sweet when she said that and I hugged her back.

"Won't you come to see me off at the airport?" she asked me while still holding on to me.

"No. I hate saying good byes" and I placed a warm kiss on her cheeks.

"So, see you after 3 months."

"Well, I may drop a surprise visit at your place in New York." and she all she could do was smile and then left.

I unpacked her present to land my eyes on some beautiful snapshots of Shakti and mine. The first picture was of our first performance together in DID, followed by numerous pictures of us off screen. Some of my birthday, few of the anniversary pictures of Dil Dosti Dance and a few just random snapshots while she was hitting me with a stone, some bloopers of d3 and some from our interview by TellyChakkar.

And at the bottom, she had written our name together followed by a heart.

Kunwar Shakti <3

I could just smile looking at the adorable couple and it was indeed a very special good bye present.

I placed the frame on my desk and hurried myself to get ready for today's shoot.

I won't let you know what you are to me, till I am sure that my confession won't be a hindrance to the fulfillment of your dreams.
