I couldn't take the loud music and crowd anymore so I decided to take some fresh air. I was walking in the garden alone.
"Hey you dropped this." Someone said from behind.I turned around to see a guy holding my cell phone.
"Thanks a lot" I said taking my phone back.
I was sitting on the bench when I heard Raghav's voice. "What are you doing here? I've been searching you inside."
"You don't like partying and all, huh?" he asked sitting beside me.
"I won't say that. I think you're really interesting. Just because you don't get drunk and dance with your top off doesn't mean you're boring."
"I like that." I smiled.
He smiled back. "You know what I know a place you're going to love. Let's go." He said standing up.
"You really think I give a damn" He smirked.
He took me to the lake where I first saw him. It was beautiful. The reflection of full moon in the water was enough to send anyone's heart aflutter. The stars that were accompanying the moon were twinkling like angels in the heaven.
"Marvelous" I exclaimed.
"I knew you would love it." He smiled.
"I love it! Thanks a lot for bringing me here." I said.
He came towards me smiling and then he leaned on me.
Kalpi's phone started ringing. "It's mom." She said looking at the phone.[ Friends as u all know the conversation is going on between Pakhi and Kalpi, as Kalpi is telling the story of her being depressed from last few months. ]
"What? Wait! You can't pick it up." Pakhi said nervously.
"But why?" Kalpi asked.
"It's mom on the phone, it might be urgent." Kalpi said.
"He leaned on you for God's sake tell me what happened next?" Pakhi said grabbing Kalpi's phone.
"Pooki, give my phone back. Let me take this call and I promise I'll tell you."
"So did he kiss you?" Pakhi asked smiling naughtily.
"I have to leave. Some guests are arriving for dinner. Mom needs help. I am sorry." Kalpi said.
"What? No, you can't leave. Tell me what happened next."
"I am sorry pooki I have to leave, I promise I'll tell you everything tomorrow." Kalpi left.
Kalpi was sitting alone in her room. She was thinking about the time she spent in London with her aunt and with raghav. Raghav had become a ghost for her. He haunted her every now and then. She used to feel lonely in the crowd but now she had a companion in her solitude. She tried to shrug his thought but all the efforts were in vain. She knew she could never forget him. She was possessed by him.
She appeared normal to everyone in her college and in home. But people who were closed to her noticed some sort of change in her. One of the guests at the dinner remarked that she has changed for good, that she has become more outspoken. She didn't say a word and just smiled. How could she tell them who changed her?
She was lost in her thoughts and suddenly the phone rang. She looked at the screen, it was a familiar number. She decided not to take the call but it wasn't stopping ringing. At last, she picked up the phone.
"Hey kalpi how are you? We've never talked ever since you departed from here" Said the caller.
"What do you want to talk about Tania ? Will you please stop bothering me?" asked kalpi furiously.
"I know I have not been a good friend. I know I broke your trust and I am sorry for that. But there's something you need to know."
"And what is that?" asked kalpi.
"Raghav has disappeared" said tania with concern in her voice.
"What?"
"Yeah, he was in such a bad shape after you left. He never talked with anyone. He became a loner. And 2 days ago he disappeared."
"Where is he now?" Kalpi asked nervously.
"No one knows. Mr. Mehra said he didn't say a word before leaving. He said that he met raghav a day before he left at the bar. Raghav was looking devastated."
"Stop"Kalpi said furiously.
"I don't want to hear a thing about him. I know he made you say all these things. Please don't waste my time and don't bother me again." Kalpi hung up.
Kalpi
was in the library when pakhi texted.
"Meet me at the park" kalpi read.
She put her books in the back and rushed out of the college.
Pakhi was sitting on the bench. It was their favorite place in the whole world. They played with dolls and shared their dreams on the same bench.
"Since when do we keep secrets from each other?" Pakhi asked annoyingly as she saw kalpi approaching.
"You can justify yourself later. Tell me first did he kiss you?" Pakhi asked curiously.
"Can't it wait? I was preparing for the assignment" kalpi said sitting on the bench.
"No it can't. Now tell me what happened next?"
Kalpi Sighed. "Well, we were at this lake talking and then suddenly he leaned his head towards me and..."
"And?" Pakhi cut her in between.
"And he pulled the eyelash from my cheek and asked me to make a wish" smiled kalpi and continued. "I did what he said."
"What happened then?" asked Pakhi.
"What did you wish for?" Raghav asked me.
"I am not going to tell you." I replied.
"Oh come on tell me."
"Some people say that if you reveal your wish to anyone then it never gets fulfilled."
"Well, whatever it is, I hope it comes true." He winked.
"This is the place where we saw each other here for the first time." I said looking at the lake.
"You remember, huh?" Raghav smirked.
"I have a really sharp memory."
He laughed.
"No, you don't. Technically, we saw each other for the first time in the caf."
"Yeah I remember but I came here to see the lake and cafe is just a minute away" I said in my defense.
"You were sitting with a large group of friends and it looked like you were discussing something serious." I said.
"Yea, actually we were discussing a case. Those people are not my friends, not all actually. It was part of our assignment" he explained.
"Have you always wanted to be a lawyer?" I asked.
"I don't know. It was my father's dream and so I am fulfilling it." He sighed.
"That means it's not what interests you." I said.
"It doesn't matter anymore; I quite like this law thing now."
"What did you dream of doing or becoming?" I asked.
"I wanted to join the army. I wanted to serve my country."
"That's a brave thing."
"Yeah, and you know what? Girls love men in uniform." He said naughtily.
"You are...you are..."
"Handsome? I know I am." He said completing my sentence.
"In your dreams." I replied.
"We should go now." I said.
"Wait. Let's take a picture first." Raghav said.
The car stopped in front of Aunt's house.
"I had an amazing time" I smiled.
"Me too."
"Kalpi what did you wish for?" he asked curiously as I was about to open the door of the car.
"Why do you want to know?" I smiled.
"I am just curious."
"It's forbidden one is not supposed to say it."
"Make an exception please." He insisted.
"Nope, sorry."
He sighed. You're a hard headed girl.
