51. Time to Leave

Drugs. Disc. Alcohol. Sell. Disappointment. Fluttering my eyes open, I was met by the light, disturbing my gaze. I blinked rapidly to push the headache, and gripped the hard surface, digging my nails. Someone hissed. Alarmed I hoisted my gaze up. Dhruv crinkled smile welcomed me. "You're awake." I blinked rapidly again and looked around, but my head felt heavy and stars danced my view. "Don't move your head. We'll reach the apartment soon." "I – I—" Throat felt raspy. I didn't know why but I put my head in his neck, inhaling and soothing my head. His lips brushed over my ear, and the shiver ran through my back and jumpiness settled in my stomach. I couldn't speak. Humiliation clasped my heart. I wanted to apologise to him for my behaviour and actions. He walked out

52. Choices to Make

I wish I could reverse things with a magic wand, or a dusty powder. Sometimes I think humans should've something magical, helping them to overcome complicated problems. Dhruv's hand clamped with mine and I took a deep breath to calm my notorious nerves. I was in a big trouble. My parents were going to kill me. If I hadn't done something to get on their nerves before, I surely had done this time. What would I say to them? How would I explain the drugs and my whereabouts? I had been missing for two days, and clearly, I had lost the car too. Not lost. It was at the club parking lot. I would get it tomorrow. "Let's go," Dhruv tugged my hand. I stared at him. "No more meetings." I nodded. His eyes held so many emotions. "No more you." I bit my bottom lip. "I just want to do this before we go in." He leaned closer and touched his lips to my forehead. I relished the feel of his lips against my skin. "I love

53. A New Start

It was same like this for next few days—or nights. Mom would come to my room, and sleep with me. One time, I burst into tears and snuggled in her lap, crying my heart out. I was missing Dhruv. He didn't try to contact me again and I started regretting my decision for leaving him. He loved me and I didn't know why I wasn't going to him. Nobody asked me where I was for two days. Dad went out of the town that night only. Mom said it was an emergency but I didn't pay attention. In college, my friends asked but I said nothing, and at last, they gave up. One day I went to Abhi house. He told me he was leaving Delhi after graduation. He was going to Mumbai to pursue his film directory line. He looked better than before, no more heartbroken boy who had no idea what to say and how to behave. I was happy seeing him and asked if he was okay. "Sanchi, I can't spend my whole life in misery for her betrayal.

54. Death and Pain

Parking the car at the distance, I checked the weight in my pockets. It was time. I could do this and free the tangled weight from my heart forever. Get over with it and move on with your life. I wish he was here, guiding me like he did that day.Closing the thoughts, I vacated the car with my presence. Their was no other place than this. Nothing could relief me the way it did. It was my solace. The place where I would spend most of my time, sitting and indulging with the air on my face, grass on my feet and feel of nature around me.The place where I first saw him as a child.Pushing the steel gate, I went in. The noises of children invaded my ear, swings captured my gaze and his smile on the distance made me hitch my breath.He was holding a pram. Ria must be in there.I was about to look away when his eyes connected with mine. It had been three weeks since I saw him. Three weeks since I ended us to see where I belong.Three weeks since I was trying to find myself. Three weeks sinc

55. Till The End

Dhruv POV Their were moments you hated in your life. Moments you wanted never to come and that you could press the skip button and never face them. It was like GTA 5. When you hate a mission, you skip it and jump onto another, avoiding the difficulties. I wish life was like a GTA 5 but it wasn't and I had to face the dreaded moment. "Dhruv, get out of the room." Kabir banged the door. "We'll miss the flight.""Coming, idiot," I yelled. "And fucking lower your voice, Ria is eating."Pushing the wallet in my pocket, I opened the wardrobe and collected the small box. Kabir and Rahul yelled my name back. Peering at the ceiling, I asked again why they both were my friends.Because you love them.Sanchi words echoed. Glaring at the door, I opened it and gave them a duh look. They returned the favour. "Fuckers." They both flipped me off. Where was Alina to control him? Kabir pointed his finger at my chest. "This time you cursed. Isn't it Ria?"My cruel daughter nodded and walked to me,

Epilogue

Nervousness coiled around my throat, anxiety seized my feet and an everlasting smile stayed on my face. Fisting my hands on my lap, I endeavor to scorn the smell of henna, but it wafted around my nose.The heaviness of the dress made me rooted to my place. How was I supposed to walk in such a heavy lehenga? No matter what, it was a beautiful red lehenga with threaded golden embroidery. I loved it the first time mom had taken me for wedding shopping. I love the detailed golden embroidery on the skirt. The golden blouse was a complimentary, stopped right at the bottom of my chest.Dhruv didn't like because it was too short.But you don't get marry every day and I had insisted I wanted it. The red dupatta on my head was held with the help of pins, and half dropping on my shoulder."Sanchi, you need anything?" I lifted my eyes to her.Shaking my head, I tried to move my hands, and the noise of kaliren echoed around the room."Why am I wearing so many of them?" I hoisted my hands, showing

BC 1.1 New Journey

“You packed everything?” Mom asked for the tenth time. Suppressing the groan, I nodded, helping the driver to put the luggage at the back. “Medicines? Towels? Remember to wear warm clothes if it gets cold. Don’t forget to eat, and most importantly, stay away—“ Whirling, I placed my hands on her shoulder, silencing her marathon of reminders she had been putting in my mind since a week. Ever since I told her I was going on a road trip with Dhruv and his friends, she had been worried to hell. I had reminded her Dhruv was there—her servant. He was truly her servant. They both would get together, discuss my bad habits and how much of a bad person I was. The only thing I could do was watch them, and wonder how they could be my mother and boyfriend. They both were gossip queens along with dadi. Talking all the hot news of the area, media, celebrity and everything from scarp. Even Meghna had become tired of them. “I’ve packed everything.” I cocked my head to the side. “And you double ch

BC 1.2 - New Start

"Wake up and shine, bear." Tugging my lips in a smile, I squeezed my eyes tighter, snuggling deeper into the blankets. It was too much comfortable, sleeping on a soft mattress and having no tension of the work. I wish I could go on a long time vacation, with no deadline of coming back and handle the life of work and tension.His hand rested on my neck, lips stirring against my ear. "Wake up before I throw water at you." Instantly my eyes flew open and I pushed his figure away from me, but to my luck the jug of water was spilled over my hair. As if finally feeling the cold, I flew my hands in the air to curb down the cold, but it froze on my skin, chilling my bones.Wiping my hand over my face, I glared at Dhruv, who looked terrified, but had an audacity to wear a smug smile."What the hell, Dhruv?" I screeched, wiping the blanket away from my water dripped body. "Why you brought the water?"He joined me on the bed, placing his shoes on the white bed sheet. Giving him a dirty glare, I

BC 1.3 Old Wounds

[ D H R U V ' S P O V ]Shedding the sleep off from my eyelids, I got up from the bed, leaving the blanket and ran my hand through my messy hair. Sleep tumbled down but the weariness and headache was thrashing my head.I couldn't sleep off after the crying, acted like I had slept to make Sanchi doze to the peaceful night. She didn't have to get up, and see how much fucked we all could get. That behind the act of a merry group laid the most fucked up people of the world.Fucked up seemed like an understatement.Grabbing the shirt from the floor, I wore it. I needed a strong coffee to curb the hangover. I shouldn't have gotten drunk. I should have known my limits, and been adhere to them. Stupid, nonsense me.The blanket was nearly falling on the floor. Fisting it in my hands, I covered Sanchi, letting it rest till her chest but her shivering didn't stop. Cold. It was too cold here and this stupid girl had no ounce of care about herself. No matter what I do, she never understood how a

BC 2 'NEW FIGHTS'

Bending on the ground, I smoothed her hair for the tenth time. Nobody could blame me for making sure my daughter looked best for her first day in the school even though a part of me was scared of sending her.She would be okay."I will be okay," She said, as if getting the devious thoughts conjuring my mind. From the corner of my eye, I found Dhruv with same tension, same frown."Promise me you won't run." I advanced my hand to her. "If you don't feel good, you'll tell the teacher."I had explained to her in charge about her heart and how doing physical activities weren't good for her, and some days, she gets out of breath. Her surgery would fix everything but not right now. For a while, she had to go through it until she became strong enough to handle a bypass to cover the holes."Promise." She placed her small hand on mine and squeezed it."Be a good girl," Dhruv said, crunching to my level. "You don't want to cry?" I nudge Dhruv's stomach. She was doing pretty good till now and by
