TIME~between Life and Death [Completed]✓

A Nice Evening

[AUTHOR'S VIEW]
.
The bright artificial lights are everywhere in the shopping mall which making the the interior like it's daytime.
People are talking, buying things, laughing, taking pictures. Jiya and Sidhharth are also doing the same, roaming from this shop to that.. but their friends are too shy to show excitement. Darshan and Barsha are just following them.

You have to go there, see.. sale is on..!!!! Jiya dragged Siddhart with her into a gent's store. Both of them are really enjoying the evening.

*Clear throat* aren't you going to buy something?  Piercing through the awkward silence between them, Darshan asked.

mm yes.. but not here.

Soo..lets go. Why are we here?

Umm ok. A very short reply

We stopped infront of the kids section.

Here? I thought she need someone for herself.

Actually I need something for Rishab. He participated in Fancy dress Competition at school, so I need to find a bunny suit. Her warm smile made something unusual at my heart.
We entered in.
...
Kids are here with their parents. Lucky them. I saw a women is helping her son to wear a jacket. Her face lightened when she realised that jacket is looking so good at her kid.
A Father was holding her daughter in his arms and the girl was sleeping at his shoulder.
I hate this feeling. This pain whenever I saw any happy family. Why? Why do I have to suffer this?

I moved my eyes from there and went near towards Barsha and Rishab. She was searching through the hangers while holding Rishab. I also looked around for a bit, although I don't have anything to see here. It's a kids section. Finally I saw a lion suit. Rishab grab my shirt from behind which startled me.
I want this he said while pointing towards the suit.

I couldn't stop smiling whenever I saw his little face,
~but you need a bunny suit na. 
Yes. He made a pouty face.
Then you buy it . You.. buy. He started pulling my shirt.
Holding his little hand , I also started looking something good for him. After a while Barsha found a suit and called Rishab from a corner.
He was looking adorable in that bunny suit. , Barsha kissed his bubble cheek and decided to buy that. They went to the cash register. We were about to leave the shop but I saw a pair of shoes with white fur which actually will look so good with that bunny outfit.
Ms.Gupta. just wait for a minute please.
I bought that shoes. And decided to give them later.
..
A salesman stopped us from leaving the store suddenly.
Sir! Mam! , we have some exclusive for your kid here. You can check them out ..
Gawd this is embarrassing. I felt that Barsha was avoiding the salesman so I replied.
No thanks. And I left holding Rishab.
...

Arreyyy kaha gayab ho gaya tha??? We were searching everywhere..I think he bought almost everything from this mall.
It's my fault, I was buying something for Rishab. Barsha replied to Sidhharth.
Let's go to the food section na please I am staaarrving.!!!! Everytime this girl have to say something which I really don't like.
Jiya.. we'll have dinner at home na....
No no.. have dinner with us Ms.Gupta. Siddharth couldn't let her complete, and started walking towards the food court with Jiya.
..
As we were walking, some boys were coming towards us. They were laughing. While passing by us, I noticed they intentionally chose to pass by Barsha and Rishab, and almost hit Rishab by their arms.
Careful Rishu...!!! Barsha screamed in a low tone and dragged him between us.
Piece of shit! I really didn't want to say this but couldn't hold the temper.
She seems startled by me.
Hold my hand too Rishab.. obediently Rishab held my right hand and Barsha's left hand.

It felt really nice. Being with them. I can't deny the fact that I feel good whenever I saw them together. Even though we talk very less but it feels good.

Here...he handed me a small bag.
What is this Sir?
Something for Rishab. He said that with his emotionless face.
But.. Sir...
It's not for you so you can't refuse it, he stopped me. I really feel unusual taking this. But his emotion less face really scared the shit out of me. He should smile more often. Or he can just use slangs,it's my first time when heard him saying 'piece of shit' it sounds really sexy. Shit.. what I am thinking..

Umm Thank you Sir.
He nodded in reply.

Here I am. Back to my world. I looked around my house, so dull, so dark. I went upstairs into my parents room. It was my parents room. I saw the picture which is still there on the desk. Its been months I hadn't open this room, dust covered the entire room, also the photo frames.
They didn't even care how I am right? And here I am , feeling all sentimental, emotional. Wow.!
I wiped the dust from the frame and sat on the dusty bed. Thinking about those days when I used to held their hands and walked, when mum used to comb my hairs, when Dad used to play cricket with me in the garden.. when...
Tears fell on the frame. I put the frame in its place. And left the room.
I know that my tears, my pain doesn't mean anything to anyone. No one will ever know about these. No one will ever know about...
Never mind. I also don't want to know about this. Sid knows, that's enough.
