Silent readers, if possible please vote and comment.

Hope you like my story and please answer then questions I asked below.

"How is your day?" Ajay asked as soon as Aparna entered into the house.

"not bad Ajay, I'm all good" she said with a smile. But Ajay can easily read her face to understand that she is all tired and had a hectic day.

"okay Go and freshen up, I will cook today's dinner" he said and she nodded her head.

After freshen up, she came to the kitchen and saw him cooking.

"You know what, the girl who marries you is the luckiest one in the world" she said suddenly and he looked at her with a frown.

"Why did you suddenly changed your statement Aparna, you used to say that the girl I marries is the poorest one to tolerate an idiot like for a lifetime" he said her own words back.

"Yeah, that's true in one way, but she will be lucky for having such an understanding, loving, caring person who knows to cook delicious food as her husband. You know, we can just neglect being stupid in that case" she laughed and he smiled at her comment.

"Why these unwanted talks now Aparna? Are you planning to her married, that you are trying to push me in that river of marriage life?" Ajay asked still concentrating on the fry pan.

"It's not like that Ajay, but you are 27 and it will be your best time to marry. Even uncle and. Anut wants to have a daughter in law, they are getting old anyways" her words made him turn off the stove.

'He called you right? My dad. What he said this time. Did he say that you are the reason that I'm staying single or what?' Ajay raised his voice.

"There is no wrong in what they are asking Ajay. You are their only son, they want you to be settled. And I'm a obstacle in your life" she said and there was a drop of tear in her eyes.

"Are you mad Aparna! I'm not saying that I'm going to be a priest. I will marry okay, when I find a girl who respects and accepts our friendship" he said ans Aparna has nothing more to say.

"You can't find one like that Ajay, try to unders-" before she could finish Ajay threw a vessal in the sink and went out in anger while Aparna stood there worried about him.

Already her life is a big mess and she don't Wan to spoil his life along with her life.

Ajay had supported her in every part of her life and she can't just stay still ehenn he is spoiling his life in the name of  helping her.

She has to make his life straight first, so that she can escape the guilt of using him for her selfish resons.

Ashwin looked at the blue sky which is tinted with orange shades.

Standing in his balcony, he thought about the happenings of the day he spend in her presence after a long time, to be precise after 5 long years.

And it felt so alien to him. She neither showed him any hate, not he saw care in her eyes. "is her emotions dead?" Ashwin has no answer for that anyway.

She was the most expressive person he ever saw, and even though he hated that at times, her crazy antics had made him smile many times. And Ashwin, though his heart hates to admit, missed those days with her.

It's a nice feeling to know that someone so there to hear you out and to make you smile. In this five years without her, one thing Ashwin failed to earn is some one who will fill the vaccum she created in his life. She was such an angel in his life. And her exit form her life caused him a life long pain.

As he said earlier, Ashwin can never hate her for all the pain she gave him, at the same time he is not a to accept ehr back if she comes back. And he knows that, she will never come back to him as he is just an obstacle in her life.

Irrespective of the unknown feelings and emotions he has for her Ashwin, knows that she is leading a happy with the person she loves and that made him sane.

Ashwin can't help but wonder where his relationship went wrong. They were happy. She was ready to sacrifice everything for him. He fulfilled her every wishes, he made her smile the time. He gave her expensive gifts, he went on dates with her. Then, where did everything went wrong. Form when she started planning behind his back, he has no idea but one day out of blue, she came to him and said that she no longer loves him and can't be with him any further.

When he least expected, when he was excited to share his victory over her, she came to him and said that, someone else has her heart and she wants to walk away. Ashwin can nerve forgot that painful day of his life when his dreams of leading a happy life with him shattered. Then hate he saw in her eyes is something which will hunt him till the day he dies.

Ashwin closed his eyes and let the tears, slid down his cheeks. And even at that instant her face flashed on his mind. Those deep brown eyes which always had an excitement in it. Her chubby cheeks and the cute dimples in it. The way she smiles, every damn thing about her flashed on her mind and the pain of losing her cept his mind.

Did really lost her? No. She left him. She left him to live her own life where he has no part.

He remeberd the words she used that day, only to break his heart and crush that under her feet.

"Aprana, I have to say this to you. You are going to be the happ-" he paused when he saw her showing him a blank expression and turning her face to the other side

"hay - Aparna, are you okay dear" he held her chin and she pushed his hands away.

"Aparna, what happend. I'm. Worried" he expressed his concern but she was less bothered.

"can we end this all Ashwin" she asked suddenly and his mind can't grab her words.

"what? 'he asked and she gave him the same expression as if she is standing infront of him without her wish.

" This relationship, whatever we shared between us, every damn thing that relates ' us', can we end that Ashwin. I don't want this to continue " it took him a minutes to understand what she meant.

"I- I can't understand yyou- what happened Aparna" he asked not believing what his ears heard.

"I just can't do this anymore, not when i have someone else in my heart Ashwin. I can't do this as I hate being a part of your life, when I can live my own. I don't want to spend the rest of my life as another asset you owns" her words shattered his world.

"Asset? Aparna, I- I never treated you like that. I- you know that what you means to me. Don't insult our relationship Aparna, cool down. We can talk later you go and rest now" he held her shoulders and she jerked off.

"No- say me that everything ends here and now, and I will go then" she said and at the instant, he knows that she was damn serious.

"okay. Okay I will let you go form my life" he said without any life in him and she nodded her head and faded into her room not before giving him a glance which he assumed to have some pain.

The biggest mistake Ashwin did that day was, not letting her go then. He should have let her go, when she demanded freedom. But he being selfish, was hell bend on keeping her with him, which hurted both of them in the end.

He was so idiotic at that time, that he was ready to crosss the Skies just to hold her near him, that he lost her forever.

Ashwin learned in a hard way that you can't force one to be in a relationship with you and he won't do that ever again! Even if he felt like dying without that person.

Ajay was sitting in the wodden bench which is paced outside their apartment building. Just like the busy city roads which is filled with beaming vechicles, his heart is filled with numerous thoughts at that instant.

'Marry a girl Ajay, she will make your life fine' Aparna's those words are not new to him. He had been hearing them for years.

And even there was times, when he decided to get married, so that Aparna will decide to live her life, without any guilt. But what about her future.

He don't know to which instant, Ashwin or any other person in her life knows her, but he knows her better than anyone else.

She won't move on in her life. She belives that this hard life is her punishment and will never walk away form him, even if she got thousands of opertunities.

He can't settle down with a life, by leaving her alone. And no girl will accept there friendship without any hesitation. Many may say that, she won't mind their relationship, but when she enters into their life, no woman will accept that and he can't spoil his life along with her.

If there is a person whom Ajay hates the most, then it must be Ashwin, for doing all these things to his friend. But at odd occasions, he really thinks like no one else can give her a better life than that Ashwin.

Ajay always feels like no one can make Aprana as happy as Ashwin. Ajay don't know what happened those two that they separated . But Ajay knows that whatever relationship that they shared, that one is not meant to be broken.

They deserved to be together, which gone wrong somewhere. If possible, Ajay has to use this situation, where he can her Aparna and Ashwin in same place to know their secrets and unite them. But only if that Ashwin is good enough for his friend.

He may end up in losing her friendship in the end, but won't let her live in misery. If there friendship should end, then it should happen after she is settled in a good and happy life and Ajay is ready to cross even the Skies for that.

So here is the next chapter of this story. Hope you guys loved it.
