"Is he crazy or something ? How can he leave all of us and go ?" Kabir asked snatching the letter.

"I'll call Mom and inform her. Probably, he went to Vizag." Sid said bringing out his mobile

Guys ! I have a news." Prisha said coming into the room.

"I know. Abhinay's left the house." Alya said.

"What ? Are you guys kidding me ?" She asked bursting into laughter.

"What's there to laugh in that ?" Kabir asked irritatedly.

"They went on a road trip. Niharika left a note." She said holding up a paper.

Alya grabbed it from her and read it.

"Yeah. They went on a road trip. They'll be back in two days." Alya confirmed.

A few hours ago, when Niharika met Abhinay in his room...

"Niharika, there are four days left for the classes to start." He reminded her.

"So ?"

"Let's go on a road trip." He suggested.

"What ?" She asked surprised. "It's 11 in the night and probably all of them have gone to sleep because of the hectic day."

"We'll leave early tomorrow morning. I'll take you to my favorite place. Two days. I need some peace and some time to think about all this. It's fine if you don't want to come. I'll go alone." He said.

"I'm in. What time tomorrow morning ?" She asked.

" 3 a.m. Two days trip. I've got Maggi at home. I've got camping stuff as well." He said.

"Okay. I'll be ready." She said and walked out.

Back to the present..

"Abhinay was kidding. I'll kill him after coming back." Sid said.

Prisha started to move back to her home.

"Prisha." Alya called out.

"Yeah ?" She asked turning back.

"Aren't you angry for yesterday night's events ?" She asked.

"If we keep getting angry for every single thing, then we'll keep losing people in our lives. I've lost enough people in my life. Moreover, you both are not strangers who I'd get angry on for telling me the truth of my life. Yes, I'm alone. I have no one and I don't know how families are but I'm trying." She said walking out.

Alya looked at Kabir and then at Sidharth.

"Kabir, what you said was completely wrong yesterday." Sidharth said.

"I realised that. Neeti Maa was right.
My anger could've we ruined our bonds." Kabir said.

"No hard feelings, Kabir. But, this is something between me and Prisha, let us deal with it." Sidharth said.

"Yeah. Sorry." Kabir said and moved out with Alya.

On the other side of the city, Abhinay and Niharika were sitting on a cliff watching the beauty of the nature.

"Abhinay, am I the one for you ?" Niharika asked.

Abhinay burst into laughter. "Niharika, you know what. You're still the same indecisive Niharika. We're engaged yaar. Come on. Don't you think it's too late to say this. Anyway, let's just clear this doubt once more."

She looked at him. He took her hand into his.

"Niharika, I know we've met only around two months ago but, I know that you're the one for me." He said.

She smiled and looked back at the mountains.

"Abhinay, keep your anger under control. You saw how Neeti Maa felt bad right." Niharika said.

"Abhinay, I really don't like violence and physical fights. They scare me." She added.

"I'm sorry."

"It's not to me who you're supposed to say this. It's to Kabir and Alya." Niharika replied.

"Okay. I will. Shall we enjoy now ?"

"Sure."

"You know, I was planning on giving a surprise to the other four." Niharika told him.

"Yeah ? What ?" He asked curiously.

She told him her plan.

"That's a good idea. We'll see about it once we get back home." He said and she nodded.

They then talked for hours, getting to know each other.

The next day, at Kabir's and Alya's house.

Kabir and Alya with Sid and Prisha were chatting.

"Prisha. I'm sorry." Kabir apologized once again.

"Kabir, it's completely fine. See, stuff are fine between us now and Abhinay will be fine too." Prisha told.

"Sometimes I don't understand how Niharika and Abhinay survive without their mobiles." Alya said changing the topic.

"I know right. They can go days without using their mobiles." Sid said.

The door bell rang and Alya answered it. It was Parth and Neeti.

"Can we come in ?" Neeti asked looking at Alya who was shocked.

"Sorry. Please." Alya said moving away from the doorstep. Parth and Neeti came in.

Kabir and Sid went and hugged them.

"Where are Abhinay and Niharika ?" Parth asked looking around.

"Honeymoon !" They all said at once. They looked at each.

"Shit !" They said at once.

"What ?" Neeti asked.

"We mean they went on a road trip." Kabir said.

"Are you guys hiding something from us ?" Parth asked.

"No Dad. They really went on a road trip. We were having a discussion about their road trips and you know." Sid explained.

"Mom, I am really sorry about that day." Kabir said looking at his feet.

"Kabir, it's fine. All I wanted you to realize is that you cannot let your anger break our families. I am going to tell this is Abhinay as well. Things were different years ago. You were kids back then and if you have a fight because of your anger, we knew you would patch up. Things are different today. You both aren't alone who'd be affected by all this now. You have your girls who'd be affected by all this, emotionally." Neeti said lifting up his chin with her finger and running her fingers through his hair.

He hugged her tightly while she rubbed his back.

"Don't repeat this." She told him and he nodded.

Two days later..

Abhinay and Niharika got off the bike cheerfully.

"This trip was so fun." Niharika said.

"Yeah. God knows when the next trip will be. IMS is starting in two days and we hardly have any more holidays except for the weekends." Abhinay replied.

"Yeah but we'll take out time." Niharika replied heading towards her villa.

"Bye. Meet you tomorrow." Abhinay said heading towards his.

"What have you decided ?" She asked him standing in the stairs of the villa.

"I'll apologize to him." He replied looking at her.

"Bye. Good night." She said and went into her villa.

"Hey Prisha !" Niharika said knocking Prisha's room's door.

The door opened in a few moments and Niharika was recieved with a bone crushing hug.

"I missed you." Prisha shouted releasing Niharika from the hug.

"Me too." Niharika replied.

"Prisha, I need to tell you something." Niharika said.

"Wait ! Did you and Abhinay have your first kiss or did you..?" Prisha asked suspiciously.

"Oh my god ! Prisha, keep your dirty thoughts to yourself." Niharika replied making a face. "It's about you."

"Then it can wait. You just came. Go get some rest." Prisha said pushing Niharika towards her room.

"It's about Sid." Niharika said promptly.

Prisha stopped pushing her and looked at her.

"I know I should've told this to you earlier but I just forgot about it being caught up in all the mess." Niharika started to explain.

"Get to the point, Niharika."

"Okay. Sid still loves Anisha." Niharika told her.

"What ?" Prisha asked surprised.

"Yeah. He still loves Anisha. That's what he told me that day in Vizag, at the beach."

"Prisha, I know it's tough for​ you but you're really lucky to get him. He still loves her, after ten years of their break up. He's still waiting for her. Had it been any other guy, he would've moved on. You're judging Sid. That day, the kiss happened in the heat of the moment. He didn't mean it. From his words, I know he was regretting that kiss because he's commited to Anisha even after almost ten years. " Niharika explained.

"Prisha, it's your wish but I suggest you to give it a chance. I know you're scared and I don't know why but you should give it a chance. Remember what you told me when I was confused about my wedding. Try to apply that to your life. Trust me, Sid is a gem. I've known him and he's not what you think. The desicion is all yours. Good night." Niharika said before going to her room.

What's even happening ? Why does my life have to be a mess ? Sidharth still loves Anisha ? How can someone love a person who you haven't met since years and when you don't even know if that person has moved on in life ? Am I having a wrong impression of Sidharth ? Was that kiss a mistake ? Is he regretting about it ? Prisha asked herself.

•Some say time heals the broken, but I say it gives answers for the unanswered questions and thoughts.•

Hey guys ! The story is on #10 and im so damn happy about that. My first story overtook my current one.

The real story is starting here. Whatever you read till​ now was just a trailer. The next chapter marks the beginning of thrill.

You thought Abhinay left home really ? Come on ! That's not going to happen ! Kidnapped ? 😅😅😅😅 Kuch bhi ?

I didn't find any good quotes in the last chapter too. Remember, it's not just quotes. It's quotes that are related to the chapter. So the game is still on.

Thanks for those votes and comments.
