I was lying in bed, eyes wide open, with clear flashes of the episode that occurred just hours ago. Disha, Suhana, sirens, confessions and Arjun...

Yeah, just like always, this man had to jump into the picture, totally uninvited. Well, the sirens were those of the police and Disha got arrested.

'Sad long life waiting for her', I had whispered to myself when she gave me the last angry look before getting into the jeep.

Arjun thought I needed all the consolation and tear-wiping thingy but hell, he was so wrong. I really didn't give a fuck about anything at that exact moment or let's say all the moments that followed except Disha. 

Disha's words kept spinning in my head...she had stopped seeing any good in the world. She was obsessed with Arjun and that destroyed her. The difference between right and wrong, it didn't matter to her anymore. The ambitious girl that she used to be, the person that she wanted to become, she just ruined it. I used to be so jealous of her because of her beauty but heck, what's beauty at all without a proper healthy functioning brain? All our problems - a simple conversation could have solved it. All the wrong decisions that each one of us took could have been reversed if there would have been a little more trust and a little less misunderstanding. 

God, I so wish I could go back to those happy days. Things weren't that bad then. I wish I could sense what was cooking in Arjun's head.

But honestly, I feel, his actions were just so insane. Where did he get those crazy ideas from? Poor man. He lost his wife - that's me, his girlfriend - that's Disha, his parents and had almost lost his best friend Parth to a fucking silly rumour that he had purposely fuelled for ruining my image. And I cannot forget the things that he did to bring me back to India! Shreyasi? Seriously? And then the nonsense to bring me to his house that followed...okay I know there was no other way but at least he could have 'tried' talking to me, to which I generally am ever ready. Anyway, whatever happened, I realise all of us were at fault, including the master planners, my ex boyfriend and his sister.

Wow!

I heard a constant beeping sound coming from my phone. I checked it and there were around ten messages from my friends.

Kabir - Amaya, you okay? I can't reach your phone.  

Sarah - Amaya, I hope everything is fine...

Aahil - Call me, we are worried.

Kabir - Sorry Amaya. I know you are angry. I also know that you were constantly in touch with Piyali, Aahana and Aryan. I just wanted to say, we're always there for you and I'm truly very sorry. I just wanted to make sure that you are fine and I didn't realise that you were trying to solve a really ugly mess that surrounded your life. If you call me, I'll know that you've forgiven me.
That said, Aahana and Aryan had an awesome first day at school.
Take care...

I stared at those messages and I was like, heck what? I'm not angry. I didn't even think about anything related to our conversation and yes, it was a conversation and not an argument - at least for me!

I knew exactly what I needed to do. Call them...

I dialed Kabir's number and withing two rings, I heard his voice.
"Amaya?"

"No, her spirit. Sorry to inform you Mr Kabir, Amaya was killed by your words when you were trying to make her understand that she was literally putting everyone's life in danger," I said and heard him chuckle.

"Shut up," he said.

"I forgive you son," I chuckled as I continued. "Sorry by the way,"

"Huh? Sorry and you?" Kabir acted all surprised.

"Nope, just kidding," I chuckled.

"How are you?" He asked.

"Somehow losing my mind over this Disha thing. She was arrested today. Everything is finally over. All the stress and stuff," I replied.

I heard him sigh.
"Then why are you losing your mind over her now. Just forget it,"

Kabir, the counsellor is back in action!!!

"As if it's that easy," I said as I adjusted my head properly on the pillow.

"Maybe, but you cannot sit and ponder over it forever," he said.

"Hmm...but it's Disha. She is my sister and I won't say that I loved her or something but I just cannot belive that she had an equal share in all the bad things that happened. I'm just beyond upset," I said while staring at the ceiling.

"Thinking about her is a waste of time now. She will pay for all that she did. You need to sleep. Close your eyes," I smiled as I heard him say this.

"Okay good night," I said.

"Good night," he replied and hung the call.

Just when I pulled the duvet over my head, I heard the doorbell ring twice. I groaned in irritation and tried to ignore it but it rang again, making me leave my bed reluctantly and pulling myself down the stairs towards the main door.

I opened the door to find Arjun standing there. He looked tired and worn out but at the same time, a little relieved. 

"Hi," my voice came out in a whisper.

What has happened to my voice?

He smiled and looked into my eyes. I averted my gaze away from him and invited him inside.

I took a deep breath before I asked, "What are you here for?"

"I just wanted to check if you were fine," Wow! Everyone wants to check if I'm fine or not...I'm flattered.

"Well here I am. Perfectly alright. Without a single scratch on my body. See..." I said while I turned around to show myself to him.

He smiled and I had this thought for a second...did I just look like a joker?
But then I thought, Nopes...not possible.

"Now, can I sleep? Please? If I have your permissi-"

And woah! What was that?
He took two steps forward, wrapped his arms around me, buried his face in my neck and just hugged me as tightly as he could. 

What am I supposed to do?

I just stood there, numb and clueless of what to do next. I was kinda worried to...what's wrong with him?

I tried to hear any traces of sobs but thank god, there weren't any. Honestly, I wasn't in that state of mind to console him or something. I was mad at him for putting me through so much of trouble. Atleast I deserve that much of liberty.

I wrapped my arms around him, just lightly. It felt like a reassurance hug. I don't know what got into me, I tightened my hold around his torso and it's really funny to admit but I sort of liked the smell of his cologne.

For about next ten seconds, the hug continued and I felt like all my stress had just evaporated.

Magic touch or something.

"Arjun..." I called his name to which he slightly shook his head.
"Why couldn't you talk to me back then?"

"When?"

"Six years ago, why didn't you talk to me...when things were falling apart?" I rectified.

He stayed quiet for a moment and I thought he didn't hear me so I was about to repeat myself but then his reply came,
"I don't know,"

WHAT???

"You know what? I'm sleepy," and that line was the hug breaker. He parted from me and stood just a few centimeters away from me.

I knew, telling him to maintain a distance from me was useless, so I took two steps backwards and stood there folding my arms over my torso.

"Hmm...good night Arjun?" I said, raising my eyebrows.

He shook his head and said, "Good night,"

I kept on staring the floor. "Bye Arjun," and then I looked up to see his face.

He turned around and started leaving. I checked the time in my phone. It was 2 AM.

"Arjun wait," he turned around giving an unreadable expression.

"If you do not intend to disturb my sleep, you can take the room next to mine," I offered.

He bit the inside of his cheek and smiled. "Good night Amaya and bye," and he opened the main door.

As if I care...

"No wait, I have questions that need serious answers," the fuck is wrong with me?

I turned around again and gave me a look that said, "really? Now? In the middle of night?"

"I mean, when you get a proper sleep. Maybe day after tomorrow?"

"I'm not going to sleep for the whole day tomorrow, Amaya," he said with a surprised look on his face.

"I'm going to sleep for the whole day, so..."

"Day after tomorrow it is," he completed and smiled again.

"Bye," and please don't stop smiling. You look so cute.

Shut up Amaya.

I shut the door and crawled myself up the stairs. I crashed on the bed but soon I realised that sleep was far far away.

I tried to sleep but trying never helps so I put on some music and soon I drifted into deep slumber.
