That whole week passed by in a jiffy and the final day had come where Nidhu is leaving and everyday we met her and helped her in packing but somewhere or the other she would breakdown and would repeatedly say how much she is going to miss me. That day I woke up early and got ready to meet Nidhu (note the sarcasm, I didn't even sleep) and Ranjith was also tagging along me. When I was about to leave, I saw bhayya looking at me confused probably not understanding where I was going early in the morning. I made my way to the dining table with a small smile.

" Good morning bhayya. And no need to give me that look and before you ask me, I will tell you. I am going to Nidhu. Her family is shifting to Delhi and I am helping her to pack stuff. She will leave today evening so you know last minute preparations. So yeah I am going and will have my breakfast there itself as aunty insisted to come " I said with a bit sad tone and looked down most of the time. I think he observed me. He placed his hand on my shoulder and tears fell onto my cheeks and I couldn't stop them anymore. He pulled me into a hug and consoled me.

" You know there will be a time in life where everyone has to leave and move on with their lives and we should also accept that fact and move on with life. That is what life is and I am not saying you should forget them, what I am trying to say is make new friends and make new memories with them as well. Don't try to hold onto people who will leave at some point but focus on yourself with whom you will spend your entire life. Just focus on yourself and make betterment in your life and I promise I will always be there for you no matter what. I promise Naina. Please don't lose hope and yourself. You are very precious to me and I cannot stand the fact that you are not seeing how amazing person you are " he said holding my hands now and I stared at him with tears rolling and I didn't miss tears in his eyes which he kept at bay.

" I promise bhayya. I will try to make myself better. Thank you. I love you so much " I said with a genuine smile and he nodded and patted my back. I left to Nidhu's place and I must say this driver cum bodyguard of mine is not even leaving me for a second. He would wait outside her house as well until I come out and I just wonder how he manages that so well.

" Hey Naika. So how is your driverguard? " he said and I rolled my eyes at his nickname to that poor man. We both together entered into her house only to see it completely empty except for the furniture which was there from before and they will have it in a new house as well. Aunty served us all breakfast and it was quite awkward if you see coz everyone was trying to avoid eye contact and solely concentrated on food.

" Umm.. uncle actually I was planning to take Nidhu out for a while. And I promise I will make sure she will be here before time. I just.. I just wanted to spend some time with her. You know we will probably not be able to meet again and if at all we meet we don't know how the circumstances would be so I just wanted to... " I broke the silence and uncle looked at me fondly and smiled after hearing me.

" Yes. You can take her out for some time. I know even she didn't go out for a while and spent time in packing and all so I think it won't be a problem. And until you come back, we will pack the remaining items and keep them in the vehicles. But come little early so that we don't get caught up in traffic " he said with a smile and aunty too nodded and I was really happy.

" I just can't believe I am leaving you here and moving to Delhi. I just don't know if I will get a friend like you but I will definitely miss you even if I make one. I promise I will stay in contact with you " she said as soon as we sat in car and I can see she had been trying hard to control her emotions. I hugged her and she relaxed after sometime.

" Oh hello don't forget I am here too. Don't you even dare to remove me out of picture " said Ranjith from the passenger seat and we both chuckled. She wiped her tears and looked at him.

" Yeah sure how can I forget such an entertainment like you. Now who is going to listen to your useless talks and jokes and not to forget your obsession for that game. God! I am really feeling bad for Anni right now. How will she bare you without me? And don't try to make her mental in my absence " she said with an amused smirk and that made the atmosphere lighten and the banter between the both continued until we made our way to the ice-cream shop. We ordered and started talking randomly and I was not paying much attention to them as my mind drifted to bhayya's words and I couldn't help but think about Sunayn again. Whatever bhayya said is absolutely right and I should not keep on holding myself and live a little. But the thought of not being able to see him for god knows how many days or months or years is making me sick.

" Ma'am your order " the waiter cut off my thoughts and I thanked him and ate it silently while the both started commenting on the ice creams they had ordered and I rolled my eyes at the choice of their arguments. I will surely miss this. I felt sad again thinking that my only best friend is going to leave me and I will not have a best friend now. Well, Ranjith is technically my friend as well but I am not sure if he could be able to give me that warmth which I felt with Nidhu.

" Naika do you have my phone number? " Ranjith asked me and I was confused to what he was asking.

" First of all my name is Nainika and no I don't have your number. What's the big deal? " I asked shrugging my shoulders. I focused back on my ice cream then I heard a giggle and a gasp from the table and I know where it came from.

" Naika is pretty cool name for you and what do you mean you don't have my number. Give me your mobile right now I will add to your contact list " I ignored him but he just took my phone and started typing it and basically there is no lock to my phone so he took advantage of it. He gave it back to me with a huge grin plastered on his face and I just took it away and searched for his name but did not find and looked at him who was gave me a wink.

" You will know it when I call you. So don't worry too much " he said and I shrugged again and finished my ice cream. We exited and walked to the park which was just across the road and when we entered there, it was quite and empty so we ran like kids do. For long time I missed this. Being a kid and not bothering about anything and anyone and I want to take advantage of this.

We played there for long time just laughing and having fun and for some time I actually forgot about everything. I saw that the driver was standing at a distance and watching us with a smile and I smiled too. Then we took many selfies together and when I mean many, many. Literally my whole gallery was showing our pictures and I truly enjoyed every moment.

When it was time to drop Nidhu back to home we again sat in car and had lot of fun and I stomach started aching due to lot of laughing and my cheeks hurt. We saw her parents waiting for us outside and we made way towards them. I hugged aunty and tears rolled down coz she is like a mother figure to me who I never had. And now I will not have even her but whatever it might be I will love her like my mom even if we are apart. Then I bid bye to uncle and hugged Nidhu who cried her eyes out and entered into the cab and I sat in my own.

After Nidhu left with a final goodbye I sat at a table with tears streaming down as I imagined myself breaking down the same way after Sunayn leaves one day. Ranjith was also a bit sad about me but he actually don't know that I am crying for Sunayn. I composed myself and went back home after bidding Ranjith goodbye and it was almost night when I entered my room. Bhayya made me eat dinner as he was sure I will not eat if I am not being looked after. He even talked about his colleagues and cracked jokes on his boss and I smiled occasionally and also told him about Nidhu and he assured me that I can visit Delhi once she is settled there but I highly doubt it as he will not allow me to go alone. After bidding him bye I went to my room when my phone rang suddenly. The caller id showed Amazing BFF and I frowned not able to make out who it was. Nonetheless I lifted and was shocked to know the person.

" Hey Naika. I know you must be shocked to see the caller ID but it's me " he laughed at the other end and I rolled my eyes. How can this person be this idiotic? He literally saved his number as Amazing BFF. Like seriously? He still kept laughing and kept telling how he wished he could see my facial expression after looking at my phone or the moment I heard his voice and all and I kept mute until his laughter dies off.

" Are you done now? " I asked irritatingly and he cleared his throat before answering.

" Yeah and I just wanted to know how are you doing and I am sorry for pulling such stunt " he said and I smiled knowing that he cared and was really worried about me.

" Thank you " I said and cut off not able to talk anymore as tears welled up suddenly. I threw the phone away and laid on bed and tried to sleep but all I could think about was Sunayn. His smile. His voice. His eyes. His laugh. His love for his country. His everything. He is a perfect man. He has everything one could ask for and I am nothing. I don't know if I am perfect for him or not.

I kept tossing and turning around and finally when I thought I couldn't sleep at all I took my phone and kept some songs and tried to relax.

The next day I started to jog but I was completely disturbed and sat down at a bench watching nothing in particular. And then I saw a woman who was pregnant was walking along with her husband and smiling for whatever her husband was saying. A pang of pain rose in my heart when I realized that I will not be able to experience all these things and I sighed before jogging back to home. I decided what am I supposed to do and I will do it no matter what happens.
