Suggestion: Play "Khairiyat"

Several days have passed since that day when Ren was absent from the University. But the thoughts of leaving behind the other and moving on was becoming more and more unbearable for both of them( Kia and Ren).

Ren POV

I have always known it to be a fact that Gorya and Thyme were always meant to be together. Then why does my heart still beats like crazy for her. What have you done to me Gorya? Why I am feeling like this? Do I really deserve this? First Mira and now you... why am I so unlucky in love?

AUTHOR POV

Ren was so engaged in his thoughts that he didn't even notice that Kia had silently made her way towards him.He came to Earth when Kia put her hand on his shoulder.

Kia asked him,"Where were you lost in your thoughts?"

Ren just smiled and shrugged it off.Kia again asked with her voice filled with concern,"What happened?Are you alright?"

Ren POV

Don't Kia, don't do this with me.
How should I refrain myself when I hear such words from you?

AUTHOR POV

He again smiled and shook his head in a 'no'.
He thought that Kia was genuinely concerned about him as a friend. And the thought itself made his heart burn a little.On the other side...

Kia too felt that he thought of her as just a friend and it made her a little sad.How she wished that she could live in her own delusional world where she could have Ren by her side.How good it would have been.

That same day...

Ren was sitting and having his lunch in the canteen as usual.

But one thing was missing, Kia. Kia was perhaps a little late..maybe it's because of her extra classes or something...he thought. But his thoughts were interrupted when Tesh, Kia's bestfriend and classmate came and sat in front of his chair. Seeing his face,she could tell that hexwas troubled by something. She smiled and asked,"Hey P'Ren why are you looking so disturbed?Are you searching for something...." Her voice trailed off as she realized that it was Kia. It made her feel a little uneasy.

{By the way,I forgot to tell you all that Kia,Ren and Tesh used to have lunch together in the canteen of the University.}

Suddenly his gaze fell outside the window beside them.

He saw Kia standing undee the cherry blossom tree and a boy approaching her. They both exchanged a few words and Kia laughed at something that he said. Then the boy held out a bouquet of tulips out of nowhere and held Kia's hand walked away.Ren's blood started boiling at the sight that he just saw.Tesh was busy eating so didn't know what had occurred in these few seconds.A lone tear kissed Ren's cheek and he excused himself by saying that he wanted to go to the restroom.

Ren POV

As soon as I got into the restroom, I looked at my reflection in the mirror.My tears weren't stopping at all.

I had always been like this.I never showed anyone how hurt I was. My way of showing my anger had always been crying alone. I was afraid. I thought that it was very unmanly of me to cry like this. Nobody would accept me in this world as a man.

But this is how I am. I want to be like this in front of everyone. Guys also have emotions, don't they? Why is the world so unfair?Why when a girl cries then it is said to be her nature and when a guy cries... he is called weak and unmanly.

I have always craved for love which I never got. Being rich doesn't necessarily mean that you are living your best life. Sometimes I wish I were a normal middle-class boy. At least I would have been able to spend more time with my family. Being born in a family where both of your parents are always too busy for you and you are only left with the servants of your house is really miserable. I don't mean to say that the servants are all bad, thay do perform their duties very well, but they won't care for you like you were one of their own blood,would they?

I got unlucky in love two times and I'm still alive.*Wow that's incredible,isn't it?*{in a *sarcastic way}

But my stupid heart is still fooling about thinking that one day someone will heal its wounds.One day, someone will fix its shattered pieces. One day, someone will love it despite its scars.

A long time ago,I heard someone say that Love can make one poetic and now I admit it myself. How good it is to be delusional and think that someday I might find the person who truly loves me.

When you couldn't even accept my heart then why did you break it?

But then I recollected that she doesn't even know anything about it. I'm at fault now.

Nobody ever warned me about this. I myself plunged into the fire of love and the result...I got scorched.

On the other side..

AUTHOR POV

A guy approached Kia.He was her classmate and he had feelings for her. He confessed to her and gave her flowers.She took them and said,"I have something to tell you. Let's go to the terrace."

Then he held her hand and took her to the terrace. There Kia told him that she would never think of him as more than a friend. She made it clear to him that she didn't have any romantic feelings for him.But the boy was still happy.At least she held his hand and talked with him. It was more than enough for him.After she went,he couldn't stop thinking about this. Though he was sad about the rejection, he kept smiling like a fool.

Love is such a strange thing.It can make you smile at your lowest moments and also be the reason of your downfall when you're at your peak.It can make you smile like a fool all day and make you cry like there's no tomorrow.

You would never know until you experience it.
It is like a drug.You are addicted to it and can never have enough of it.You would always crave for it even though pain is the only thing that it provides...
