TIME~between Life and Death [Completed]✓

TIME STANDS STILL

✍️Some times reality feels like  terrible nightmares. We wish to wake up from that. But reality doesn't works like that. Those times seems sooo slow. As if it's the longest one. Happy times flew like winds. How the time flows we couldn't understand. But when a bad time starts, it seems it just stopped.|

Standing in a middle of the hallway I started thinking now what?
I called my parents. They'll know what we should actually do in this particular moment.
No body in this world can understand her pain. They were her only family. I am.just scared that how am I going to handle when she wake up?

I heard a sound of crockery. Jiya putted a place full food on the table.
I continued my stare outside the window.

You have to go to the hospital today. She said that. Her voice became heavy. Uncle Auntie handling everything. Even though God already snatched everyone, I have them.in this horrible dark time of my life.
Hospital said they are going to discharge Rishab today.. so get ready. I grabbed the window edge when I heard 'Rishab' . I don't have any answers for his questions. What am I going to reply when .... When he'll ask.... Even when I am thinking of that, my senses are trembling with fear.
Barsha...! Say something..! She came closer, grabbed my shoulder.
You have to be strong Barsha. You have to face Rishab. My parents are doing every rituals an all which needed to be done. But no-one in this world can handle Rishab other than you. You have to be there for Rishab.
Her behavior made me scared even more. I .. I pushed her away and ran towards the dark corner of my room. I can't. I know I can't. I can't face him. I just can't.
I hid my face into the darkness, where nobody can find me.
Okay... I am taking Rishab to my house for couple of days. You take your time. But.. Barsha.. I know you can do this. Okay??  warmth of her heart is protecting both of us right now. Because of her I survived. Yeah.. this would be the best if Rishab stays with her. Because I need some time to be strong enough to look at that little face.

I called my father to visit Rishab, both of us gonna take him to our house. I was about to gear up.. a car stopped in front of me.
A man came out from the car.
I know him. He is our friend.
It's Kunal.
Ohhh thaaank God , Jiya..!!! You are here...he came running towards me and hugged me, a very awkward hug though because I was sitting on my scooter.
Kunal..?? Why are you here? I mean, did you heard anything? I asked because a very few numbers of people know about it.

I know someone from this colony. He was looking at her window. It's on 5th floor. He knows that I see.
Kya ho gaya ye sab? He asked me. That's the question right now. 'kya ho gaya'. Both of us remained silent for a bit.
I want to meet her but, is it okay to do that right now ? I mean... What's the situation? It's very sweet of him to say that. Barsha needs someone right now. But I don't think it's the right moment. Barsha needs to come out from her shell.
Umm..this is so sweet of you that you came .. but, I think we should give her sometime. She is not talking with anyone. You can get it right? I rubbed his shoulder.
Mm. Okay then. If you need anything or if she needs anything.. please let me know. Okay? He really want to be with her.
Kunal... Just .m thank you. After everything happened between you and Barsha.. you are still here. It means a lot. I saw a little smile on his face.
Just because she rejected me that doesn't mean I hate her Jiya. Yeah it's true that I love her. But I never expected her to love me back. It's really fine. Atleast Barsha got someone like him.
That's so sweet of you Kunal. He left on his way.

I saw two squirrels are playing in the garden. They are more energetic than me I can see. Papers, drafts  are all over my desk. I don't know why but my mind keeps reminding me about that sobbing girl.
I can't just forget the way she was beating her chest. That pain I witnessed after a long time , is effecting me.
I need to stop.
My phone starts buzzing.
