Sid's eyes were close as he was remembering one of the most painful moments of his life. Tears were rolling down his cheeks. He suddenly started sobbing as it was too much to handle.

Sid's P.O.V.

I am sorry ma. Neither could I do anything to save you nor could I stop Riya from taking your place. I hate myself. I couldn't do anything. I am the worst son ever alive. I don't even know whether I have the right to call myself your son or not inspite of whatever had happened. But what I do mom? I just only have you to call mine.

P.O.V. ends

Cold air blowed on his face. He opened his eyes. His tears were not ready to stop. He let out his cries which he was trying to hold. He just broke down remembering his mother. His whole life.

Sid: Mom why did you left me here? If you had to go only you couldn't have taken me with you right? But you also left me here alone. Was it for because I was not worthy enough to call you my mother and myself your son? Because I was not able to save you?

He said between his sobs. He let his pain out in the form of tears, cries and sobs. He took his blade and made cuts on his arm. Physical pain did calm him enough to forget his mental pain to some extent. Finally his tears dried up after crying so much. He lost a lot of energy because of crying. He wiped his left over tears and looked outside. He wore his hoodie and went out. His arms were folded near his chest. He was walking lost in his own thoughts.

He kept walking in that cold air and dark night. There was hardly any student outside as it was late night. Most of them were slept while others were studying or too busy on their phones. So none was out. He walked towards the terrace. And there he saw here again wearing a hood, hair tied in a loose, messy bun, red cheeks because of cold air, eyes closed and a cigarette in hand. For a moment, he was just lost in her analyzing her every single feature. He felt like the time stopped.

It was then she felt someone's presence and opened her eyes. He got back into his senses and looked away immediately. She didn't react just smiled. But then he noticed tear stains on his cheeks and frowned. She was about to talk to him but then remembered he didn't like her company. She sighed. He looked here and there in nervousness and then was about to go. She finally gave up and spoke.

Avu: Siddharth if you want you can sit here. Weather is nice

Sid: No it's ok I will just go. You sit here

Avu: I don't own this place. Anyone can come here. And I guess you need some alone time. You can sit here and have time with yourself. And about me don't worry I won't speak anything. I promise

Sid took a moment. He looked at her. Finally he nodded and sat down taking support of wall. He just sat there lost in thoughts of his mother. Avu didn't disturb him a bit as she promised. She sat there quietly enjoying her alone company and weather she loved. But she was definitely noticing him trying to solve his mystery.
