Swayam sat in front of his laptop waiting for someone to attend his call but well the person whom he wanted to contact seems too oblivious to her surroundings. "Arrh!" he sat on his bed frustrated. "Damn where are you! Atleast pick up the call today! Universeji, where's your jhalli?" pouted swayam as he looked up at the ceiling. All his actions were observed by his dad who stood there confusion plastered over his face. He never knew from where did his child got the habit of speaking to himself, when he once used to find it idiotic! He looked towards his laptop as he heard a beep as his call was answered. "You idiot! First, you didn't picked up my call. Second, you almost ran into an accident and third, you weren't picking up the call of anyone! You knew how worried everyone was? Oh wait! Why would you? why would you care for anyone right? After all you are a stone hearted girl who claims that her heart was turned into a stone the same day when you saw him with someone else right? Answer me now!" swayam was seething in anger. It was so not him but the thing that he is not able to be there for her, to help her to make her move on, get the most out of him. Ruthvick on the other side was shocked to see his son this angry. Because as far as he knew, his son was one of the most mature person who would first see through the situation and then react. "I am sorry swayam… forgive me for what I am going to do now" the girl spoke as she stepped back from the front of her laptop screen. Swayam's eyes widen at the sight in front of him. "No… Kriya.. Kriya stop! You are not going to do that! Kriya stop! Kriya!!!!" shouted swayam as he saw her taking a blade out of her drawer. "I was wrong swayam… I was wrong… I still had a heart… a heart which still feels for him… a heart which longs for my linecutter's touch… a heart which aches to see him with someone else… a heart which aches when anyone else comes and propose me when I can't accept that proposal… I can't do this anymore swayam… I can't! dard hota hai swayam… bahut zayada… agar mere zinda rehne se itne logon ko takleef hoti hai na swayam, then it's better I die…. I am better to be dead rather than die every single day! Everything has a limit swayam… bardaash karne ki bhi ek had hoti hai… today… today that is even crossed swayam… crossed when arjun proposed me… I can't hurt him every day by accepting that proposal… I can't see him hurt everyday if I would have rejected him.. I can't do either of the things swayam. It's better if I die right? Sabko jab itni hi problem hai mujhse toh its better I die right? I… I am sorry swayam" spoke Kriya as she slid the blade over her vein. Soon the darkness surrounded her and she was lying on the floor unconscious with blood oozing out of her vein. Swayam shut his eyes tight at the scene in front of his eyes as tears flowed down his eyes. Ruthvick on the other hand left his son as he thought that he would like to have some space. Swyam closed the laptop and shut the door tight as he slid down on the floor with his back resting on the door frame and he broke down into cries. Tears continuously cascaded down his eyes as the scene played in front of his eyes again and again. Her words rang in his ears. He wanted to talk to her, meet her as it was her birthday. But the gift he had given to him is more than anything he could ever imagine. Never in his worst dreams had he dreamt of her being so weak. She was hell one of the strongest person he had ever met but he wondered where did that strong girl had gone. He can't help blaming taani for coming in Rey's life. He can't help blame Rey for doing this to his best friend. He can't help blaming both of them equally.
Next day
Swayam woke up to find him lying down on the floor near the door. He never knew when he fell asleep crying. He stood up but stumbled a bit. He had not eaten for hours which do made him weak. He somehow managed to reach towards the bathroom. He looked at his face in the mirror only to notice his blood shot red eyes. He splashed water on his face as he felt his surrounding blurring away. Soon the darkness yet again surrounded him and he fell down on the floor.
***
Swayam opened his eyes only to find him surrounded by his friends, his dad and his sister taani. But there was a face he didn't failed to notice. He sat up with a jerk and took a hold of her head as it pained. Rey came and sat by his side. He touched his shoulder only to have his hand shrugged off by swayam. All of them were confused as to why he is behaving like this. "Guys please leave!" spoke swayam not daring to look at any one of them. "But bhai you are not well" taani spoke. "You better don't care about my health tanni!" spoke swayam as he held his head tighter as he felt the pain grew. When he had fallen, his head had hit a hard thing and thus it was hurting badly. "Sam you should rest yaar. I have already lost her. Not you please!" the guy begged. "You have lost her right arjun? I have seen her die with my own eyes… I have seen her cutting her vein… for whom? For the persons who hated her… for the persons who once loved her once cared for her…. For you!" spoke swayam. By now everyone was out of his room except for arjun. "What… what do you mean sam?" asked arjun, as he choked listening to swayam. "Arjun for her you were his friend, only friend. Back when she was here in Mumbai, she had actually fallen in love with a guy of our college" swayam shut his eyes tight as she spoke this. He wondered that Rey ever loved her? He continued, "but due to some reasons she got to broke up with him. She never wants to arjun but she was forced to do that by her mother. She never said a thing. She broke off every single relation with her. She broke off all the ties she had with people over here except for me" swayam choked. "You know, she loved him with all her heart but I guess sorry I believe that guy never deserved that love, that trust she had for him. He just moved on in his life with my sister in only a month while she… she was dying everyday. Then you proposed her yesterday. She can't hurt you arjun. She can't hurt you by saying a yes because she would have never been able to love you back and she can't say no too because she would have never been able to see you hurt every single day. She thought death was the last option she was left with… she died… died in front of my own eyes!" swayam cried.
3 years later
After that day, none had seen swayam. He had left abruptly and the reason was still unknown. Though he was in contact with Sharon but he never told her why he left where he is or anything. All he tell her was he would come just one day when he will be able to sort it all out.
There swayam sat in his office cabin in deep thoughts. Last night he was on his way back to his home when he almost ran into a girl. The face was still clearly pasted in front of his eyes. That face so much resembled Kriya but he knew, she wasn't Kriya. If so, she would have ran into his arms and hugged him tight or would have probably shouted at him for not being with her. But the look on her face told that she never knew him, never saw him in her life. Well actually he wasn't hurt because he knew his Kriya, his best friend is dead.
"Sir shall we start up with the auditions?" asked his PA. "Yes start." One by one people came showed their dance talent and left the room. Then came her and she started dancing. To say swayam was shocked would be an understatement of the century. The dance, the steps were all the same! He knew he was missing upon something. But what? He don't knew! The audition was for selecting the choreographers for his dance academy and a few were selected. Half of the interview were taken by his partner and the half was been taken by him. He went out and took the names and was shocked when he read a few ones.
The list of people were
Kritika
Vishakha
Vicky
Sharon
Abhimanu
Rishabh
He was shocked reading vishakha, Vicky and Sharon and they were shocked seeing him. As he looked up he saw kriitika; the same girl who bore the same face which Kriya had. She approached him. "Well sir I guess I don't need this job but I had a job which is not yet finished. There was someone who used to care about you the most and well I had tried hard to look for you from the past 3 years. Here it is. For you by a special friend of yours." The girl smiled and started to leave when she turned back, "By the way sir, if you ever wanted to meet my sister or that special friend of yours, you have my address written on that form." She pointed at it and left. Swayam stared at the letter confused when vishakha and Vicky ran to him and hugged him tight.
***
He sat on his bed exhausted. He dug his hand in his pocket and took out that letter. He opened it and the first thing he saw was his name written in a perfect curve writing; the one which he would easily identify!
Swayam,
Ya ya I know you are burning like anything. But what could I ever do huh? I was seriously trashed yaar. You know na, I used to live all alone but I never knew my sister would come to dehradun all the way from nyc looking for me. Well that was surprising for sure. I know I tried committing suicide but my kamini sister found me out lying there and took me to the hospital. I was so angry at her; you just can't imagine. Don't ask why I never told anyone I was actually alive! Well, I never wanted anyone to reach me this time except for you! I had actually trapped my self in the little house, opps sorry a big house with my sister and few servants. If people comes here they thinks they are either hallucinating seeing 2 krithika or thinks they have probably gone mad! So no chance of being caught even! Haha! I like it you know? I just want to meet you!
P.S. don't you dare ask the reason for this change. Okay I will tell you. only one name; KRITHIKA!
Kriya
He finished reading the letter and was on could nine knowing she was alive. He was going to go and neet her when the door bell rang. He opened it only to find the whole gang there including Rey and taani. He was still not able to forgive them. Well this all would have never happened if they two were not in a relation! He faked a smile and everyone entered in.
"Abey kahan chala gaya tha saale tu?" spoke bharat.
"Ya right! We all tried looking for you like anything!" spoke Vicky.
"Yes and we would have never been able to find you if we would have not given the audition at that place. And Kriya? What is she doing here? Why is she back?"" spoke vishakha.
"She isn't back guys. You came here you came to her not she! And for one's knowledge, that girl was krithika not Kriya! Kriya was dead 3 years back!" he lied about her being dead and left the place. He wanted to see her, hug his bestie.
He rang the doorbell as a girl opened the door. Okay, now he was confused as wether to take the girl as krithika or Kriya. The girl slid aside and motioned towards a room and he got it that the girl was krithika. He passed a small thank you. he rushed towards the door and opened it only to see Kriya staring out of the window. She turned back at the sound of the door being open. She smiled and ran in his arms, hugging him tight. They stood their hugging each other tightly
The end!
