DIYAI am standing in front of my college gate, looking at the college building, feeling nervous. It's an emotional moment for me as tears were trying to find their way out while I wasn't letting that happen.Never in my life, I thought that I will be able to afford college and pursue graduation, but today, here I am. And all the credit for this goes to only one person, Rajveer. He is like a glimmer of hope and pure happiness in my life.I finally put my thoughts on the back seat of my subconscious, took a deep breath and stepped inside the college. I looked around, there were many students, chilling with their friends and laughing and chatting, while I, on the other hand, didn't even have friends when on the school. And it somehow made me feel bad like I am alone.At the time of admission, I was allotted the classroom number, I entered the building and searched for the same. After searching for a while, on the second floor of the building, I finally found my class and without wastin

DIYA"What do you mean? You won't listen to me?"My mother's scream felt like it would burst my ears. I looked at her in complete anger and that's when another slap landed on my face."You wretch, what do you think of yourself? You will show eyes to me?" She scowled, pulling and twisting my ears brutally."Maa, leave," I shouted, in the end, pushed her."Diya," she was surprised by my sudden reaction.I have never misbehaved with her such, no matter how much rude she is to me, I always quietly bore her accusations and loathsome words, but not now.I have bore enough, it's my time to shine now, it's my life and I want to live it on my own terms."I am done. It's enough now. I am leaving for work right now. Don't you dare to come behind me. Do whatever you like and let me do my own," I shout at her, even though it broke my heart to misbehave as such."Don't you forget Diya. I am your mother, I have given birth to you. I have raised you and you retort to me in this way?" She shouted at m

RAJVEER Fear seeped into me the moment I saw fresh blood on my fingers. I saw Diya's unconscious face and that fear increased much more. "Diya... Diya," I tapped her cheeks, but she didn't respond. I got up and somehow picked Diya in my arms. Due to her heavy weight, I stumbled and struggled to balance, but I wasn't in any mood to crib over that, there was no time left for that. I somehow managed to take her to my jeep and made her sit there. I tied her seatbelt and hurried towards the driver's seat. I turned on the ignition and drove towards the hospital. I took her to the best hospital in Kolkata and admitted her to the emergency ward. I didn't want a slight chance of losing her. If she is in one per cent danger, I would do the best of my capability to save her. As the doctors and nurses took her in, I waited for any response from them in the corridor. My hands were stained in blood and that's what made me fear more and more. Ranveer has brought danger to her life, I won't be

RAJVEER"With Diya?" When I asked the question, I badly wanted him to say no. My mind wasn't ready for the answer but on the other hand, my heart wanted to hear and admit the answer and accept everything that anyone had to say about love."Yes. She is the girl," he responded, making my heart flutter while my subconscious worried."What? Diya? How?" I asked Ahmed."How can I know the answer?" His response surprised me."We know each other for a month only. How can I fall in love with her?" I asked him.How can someone fall in love in a mere month? Is that even possible? Or it's all just fiction?"A moment is enough to fall in love." He responded and I kept on staring at him."Love doesn't happen so easily." My subconscious rejected all the advances that Ahmed had to make."Have you ever fall in love?" Ahmed asked to me.Hitting right at the most painful wound. A question I don't know why I wasn't ready for."No!" I answered as I looked towards the floor.This is the bitter truth of m

RAJVEER"Come, I will drop you home and explain your parents everything," I told Diya and then noticed her expressions.Although she nodded, but she seemed lost somewhere like she was scared of her family's reaction maybe. Well, if that's the reason, I will make sure that her family doesn't go overboard and she is safe."Don't worry. I am here, with you," I told her as I held her hand and she smiled mildly.Maybe all she needs is assurance, that someone is with her, every moment, taking a stand for her and caring for her. Maybe, that's all she expects in her life, someone just like that.I then took her to the parking of the hospital, to my jeep and got the door for her. She quietly got in and I sat on the driver's seat."I am not feeling right," she spoke and I looked at her."Should we go to the doctor? How are you feeling? Is everything okay? Come, let's go back," I recited. "No, no! Nothing like that," she replied."Then?" I asked."It's just. I am scared," she spoke in a low ton
