Dhiya's POV

When Akshadh placed the ring in Janu's hand I can't control myself. I can't act more. I came running to the washroom. I cried a lot. I cried. I cried. I can't control. I cried. I cried. I hugged my knees and cried , cried , cried. How would I console myself? How could I destroy the happiness of  my Janu? Who would I choose Janu or Akshadh? God! Why did you push me in such situation? I Cried I cried. The only way to wipe my emotions out is crying.  I cupped my face with my palm and cried. Cried a lot. I patted my head and cried again.

I think about the beautiful days with Akshadh and cried. Thinking about the last day in airport I cried patting my head..

Flashback

On that day, Morning

"Mumma! Good morning. How about you?"

"I am good and how about you? Are you busy?"

"No mom! Tell me. Any important news?"

"Dhiya, Will you reach India before evening?"

"I can't tell correctly mom. I am planning to come by second flight,"

"Dhiya, Come to India by first flight. we shall talk everything later,
I am busy now. Bye take care"

"Mom....Wait a minute....." She hanged the call.

I tried to call her many times but her phone is not reachable. Mom would never makes me urge to reach faster but why did she ask me to reach as soon as possible? Is everything okay there? Something is there and I should go.

What to do now? I didn't even get mobile number from Akshadh. Oh my God! He will wait for me. Let me go to his flat. I hire a car to Akshadh's flat. I was extremely happy to meet him sooner. How would he react knowing my feelings for him? He would be in cloud nine and I was waiting for that moment.

I never thought that I would find my life  partner during this conference. I was looking out through the car glass window. I was deeply immersed in our memories we had together. My lips curved a beautiful smile thinking about him.

Ringing sound of my mobile brought me back to the present. Janu's photo flashed in the front screen of the mobile. I was very happy to talk to her after a week. I picked up the call without a delay.

"Hey Dhiya, How about you?"

"Hey Janu, I am fine. Why didn't you call these many days? Did you find the missed calls?" I asked possessively because she never ignore my calls. I called her many times to share about Akshadh in my life.

"I am sorry Dhiya. Last few days I was busy with mobile free camp so I went there leaving my mobile in home."

"Ok Janu. How about your services?"

"Going good Dhiya. There is a surprise waiting for you" she said excitedly.

"Really? I had a surprise too," I said happily thinking Akshadh.

"Surprise!!!! Tell me Dhiya, I am waiting eagerly," giggled Janu.

"Nope! Tell me first,"

"Nope,"

"You,"

After few minutes of debate, Janu was about to open the surprise.

"I am very sorry to inform you this lately, today I am going to get engage," she said casually.

"What? Engagement.. Interesting. Happy for you Janu," now I understood why mom asked me to reach earlier. I was really happy to hear about her marriage proposal.

"Yes, even I knew lately that is why I couldn't tell you earlier,"

"It is ok Janu..Who is the lucky person?"

"I am the lucky one to get him. I love him so much from the beginning of the proposal itself. I am longing to see him," she said with love feeling.

"Hey Janu, today is your engagement right wait till that, Can't you wait till that? Tell me about him and send his photo "  I said kidding her.

"About.....Him...," She stammerred

"Yes," I asked excitedly.

"He is in U.S now. Oncologist by profession," she said slowly.

"Oh my God, U.S groom for my Janu? How will you stay alone here leaving us? " I asked seriously without affecting her mood.

"No Dhiya. He went to U.S for a conference like you went. He will return India by afternoon," what? Oncologist conference? From India? Only Akshadh got selected. My heart started thumping faster. I gathered all my strength and asked her the name by silently praying to God that she shouldn't tell my love's name.

"Akshadh Jai," she said breaking me top to down. I was shaken. Thousand of arrows pierce my heart at once. Tears filled and I closed my eyes. Tears rolled down wetted my chin.

"Dhiya! Dhiya!" I heard Janu's voice. Why did you do this to me Janu? I cursed my love and myself.

"Janu, I will ...call you later rrr....signalll... Problem," I ended the call.

I reached Akshadh's flat by the moment. I looked there for a while cupping my face controlling my emotions. I requested the driver to drop me in airport.

All my dreams get shattered. How could Akshadh cheat me? Can't he tell me that he is going to engage? He proved as normal human. I never expect this from Akshadh. I came to know from my Janu what if he engaged to other than Janu. My life would have become hell. Thanks God! You saved my life. Still, I can't curse Akshadh wholeheartedly. He is not that type of guy. I could see the love and care in his eyes. I was confused and at the same time I can't bear this pain. I don't know how could I come out of it?

I was wiping my flowing tears continuously. The first flight was about to depart. Though Akshadh has honest in his ways I can't wait for him because Janu loves him. Let me burry my feelings and love for him here itself. As Janu told that this engagement function was arranged lately may be Akshadh didn't aware of it. Thank God, I didn't confess my feelings for him till now. I am giving my Akshadh to Janu. I cried a lot and get into the flight.

Each minute was a hell. I was crying unable to control my tears. I closed my eyes hardly allowing my emotions to get down. My happiness turned to upside down in a fraction of second.

I reached India. I took my luggage in one hand and my mobile in another hand calling my daddy. I can't step ahead a step. I felt weak and my eyes got blurred for a moment.

Again someone springed water in my face. I opened my eyes hardly. I found myself in Young lady's lap. I got up immediately and thanked everyone there. I requested them to leave me as I was perfectly alright.

Within few minutes, our Car driver uncle came and I entered into the car. I was blank for about few minutes. If I was dull, my parents and Janu could find me and they would ask me for reasons. I should smile happily so that I could give Janu's happiness to her.

I reached home. My parents were not in home. Sometimes later, I took my mobile and called my mom. I informed her that I would reach there at 3.00p.m.

I found a facebook message notification from Akshadh. I opened at once and found,
"Dhiya, where are you? I am waiting in Airport"

I cried hugging my knees. Unable to chew this moment, I took low dose sleeping pills. I set the alarm in my phone.

Then I replied him. I don't want Akshadh to wait for me. I knew Akshadh would face the same pain as me.

"Akshadh, Don't wait for me . I reached India,"

"Dhiya, why did you left me alone here? Don't you like me Dhiya?" He replied me back painfully.

I didn't reply afterwards. Slowly, I drifted to sleep.

"Janu!! No, open the door!" I was shouting.

"Think once," her mom shouted.

Everyone was shouting seeing her hanging to death. I got up immediately from sleep and found it was dream. It takes time for me to come out of the dream. I promised myself at any cost I shouldn't confess my feelings to both Akdhadh and Janu.

I sprinkled water in my face and got ready. After one hour I reached the recognization party auditorium. I am happy that Janu is going to share the prestigious award of social service with Akshadh.

After having converse with Janu, I hide myself from there. I took the last seat. Few minutes later, I saw Akshadh with his family. I wish to hug him right at the moment but controlled myself for my Janu. Sweat beads along with tears occupied me. My lips curved a fake smile thinking about my fate.
