Time flies away when you are in love , but when love hurts –  even a second becomes a year , even the most
beautiful of life seems miserable due to agonizing truth of love . Nirbhay’s
life too become dreaded after his heart was broken  . The boy who earlier talked without any
reason had a firm silence on his lips most of the time . Going out with friends
was now just a ceremonial process that he had to do for the sake of his
friendship . He was living an empty life whose void he could see everyday in
front of his eyes . A void which was as beautiful as one could be , whose laugh
still sound like music to his ears , whose glimpse still had a curing affect on his eyes , whose love he once
believed he would feel some day in his life.

His friends tried a lot to get him back to his normal and they
succeeded  a little by making him realise
the importance of final exams and despite not having his full concentration , he
still managed to get an average score which looked fine considering his
previous performances .
On the day when result was announced , Nishant planned to go
for a movie after collecting the result . He knew that upcoming break of one
week would make nirbhay stay in dormant state as he had refused to go for their
proposed trip . So he thought that going out , having a little fun with friends might change his decision .
They reached theatre at 5 .30 , 6.00 pm was the show of the
movie as communicated by Vikas . After parking the car , they went to Vikas . A
usual play of taunts was followed by a little spell of mutual hugging .
“ Watching an action movie in 3D would be a great
experience, isn’t it ? “ – Nishant said with a great enthusiasm .

Everyone nodded except vikas . 

“A..actually , all the tickets were sold out . So i bought
another movie . I hope I did right “ – Vikas replied with a small apprehension.
“oh...kay “ – Nishant felt a despair but continued - “ which
movie have you got then “ .
“ Love Forever – it
is said to be one of the most romantic movie of the decade “ – Vikas felt extremely
happy about his decision .
Nishant said with a disgust “ You did great , you always do “
He gave a small hit on vikas’ head and then they all left
for the movie .

                                                                ---xxx---

Watching a romantic movie when you are heartbroken is
similar to having  sugar in diabetes . It
kills you slowly from within and you know it .

Nirbhay was completely expressionless during the movie but Nishant
knew if he could hear nirbhay’s inner thoughts , he would only hear sobbing . But
he was happy that at least he held himself composed during  all this time which was earlier difficult for
him . Maybe he was now getting away from the thoughts of Rishika . Maybe he was
overcoming  the intense pressure of dejection
and that was certainly good for his imminent life .

                                                                ---xxx---

Nishant was advising vikas to use his mind sometimes and don’t
make stupid decisions often as he did today in his selection of movie . All of
a sudden , he heard some loud noises emerging at a distance  . When he peeked through the crowd , it was
ajay and nirbhay having a loud arguments with some other boy .
Reaching near revealed that it was the boyfriend of Rishika
and maybe that was the reason that usually calm nirbhay was having a broil with
him .

“ You came in my way .......... Are you some kind of VIP ...........I’ll
break your jaw ........I am very angry right now “ – A rail of abuses hurled
from nirbhay’s mouth .

Ravi , all this while was standing calm . After nirbhay
stopped , he smiled and politely said “ sorry “ .
Nirbhay expected harsh words in return but getting a polite
reply made him irked more . He went berserk and suddenly hit him hard with his
fist  .
Ravi smiled again and said “ Looser “ . 
Before Ravi went to hit another , He was suddenly stopped by
rishika whonow standing together with ravi .
She said with teary eyes “ Leave it Nirbhay , please “ .
Nirbhay , Embarrassed left the place in a hurry .
Later that night , the crying face of Rishika came repeatedly
into his eyes . He knew he had done wrong .

                                                                                ---xxx---

Nirbhay spent most of his week aloof  , thinking just of Rishika . He kept
memorizing all the incidents , times and instances that made Rishika a special
entity in his life .
He remembered -
The time when accidently Rishika’s hand touched his hand when passing by , which he called ‘ first
touch of love ‘ . He knew those hands could never be in his hands now , no
matter how hard he try .
The  time when his
friends started shouting his name on seeing rishika passing and he kept shying
constantly . He knew those lovely moments are well behind him now  .
The desperation to see the glimpse of his love everyday in
the morning . He knew those mornings would never arrive again .
Listening to romantic songs whole day , just thinking about
her , imagining her . He knew those songs don’t mean anything now .
Looking into her eyes from a distance , the eyes that held
the beauty of world in them . He knew he had seen tears into those eyes because
of him .
The thoughts made him realise his mistake . The thoughts
made him realise that she had gone from his life now . The dream of holding her
hand will remain just a dream . It was a time to move on .And It was the time to
apologise to rishika for making her cry , it was the time to apologise to his
friends for leaving them behind , it was the time to apologise to himself for
betraying his life .

It was the first day of school . Nirbhay was texting his
friends to ask them where they are .
Suddenly someone struck him and his phone fell from him
hands . He took his phone from the ground and was about to blurt some angry
words when he saw a girl was standing in front of him .
He never saw her before in the school . She had a cute face
which was looking a bit tensed now . Her long hair were flowing due to heavy
breeze . She wore specs that gave her a studious look .
Before he could say something  , she said in a panicking voice “ i am very
sorry . Actually i am new here and I am searching for class 221 . I am very
sorry . Can you tell me where is it ? “
Nirbhay made a gesture with his hands indicating calm downand
said  “ Its ok , its ok . 221 means
Building no. 2 , second floor , first room . Simple “
She replied with a smile “ thanks and I am really very sorry
“ . With that , she left swiftly from the place.
Her flowing hair touched his face . 
Hair , though said to be the dead part of the body can
sometimes produce a strange intoxicating effect . Nirbhay felt exactly that
effect now .
He saw her leaving , disappearing but the smile that came on
his face due to her presence didn’t disappear , the smile that he missed for
months .

                                 Tumhare badan ko chukar , ik hawa paas se guzar gayi!
                                 Honthon pe muskurahat cha gayi , zindagi sanwar gayi !!
