Koel was in the terrace. In that absolute silent surrounding she stood under the moon with her mind making the most noise. It felt as if someone had just touched her old wound. The more she tried to calm her mind, the more it made noise. The more she tried not to think about that night, the more clearly it flashed in front of her eyes.

She clearly remembered that night.

The clock ticked at 2am. The incident that took place few hours ago kept playing infrot of her eyes. Their argument Faizi's getting violent and throwing the cup and pushing Koel away. And along it flashes of their almost daily arguments and disagreements. Koel was sitting on her table and re-reading the letter that she had written. Then she stood adored everything that was placed in the room. And then her eyes fell on her marriage pictures hung right in front of the bed. Along it were hung so many more pictures of her and Faizi together. One of their college fest, one of their beach trip together, one was of camping trip that they went, one was of their first Diwali after marriage, one was of their first anniversary date night, one was of their baby shower and lastly her eyes got stuck on that one picture. The clicked when Nikhil had turned a week old. Koel had just returned from hospital.

Brushing off tears and thoughts with a heavy heart and slow steps she proceeded towards Nikhil's room. Nikhil was sleeping along Faizi. Usually after their fights Faizi used to sleep along Nikhil. Nikhil and Faizi were sleeping hugging onto each other. It broke Koel's heart to see them like this. Koel rushed out of the room, after few minutes of sobbing silent tears she knew that it will be difficult but she will have to do this, she slowly tried to take Nikhil out of Faizi's hug but the more she tried to pull Nikhil the more he cuddled back towards Faizi. Finally, after few minutes when Faizi turned his side, Koel picked Nikhil in her arms and moved out of the room. With each step Koel took in path of walking out of the room so was she walking of Faizi's life. And in night's darkness Koel disappeared. She took a taxi to airport.

Koel had tears in her eyes as she boarded the taxi and looked at the going figure of her home. Koel looked at her house for the very last time. She never knew that one day would come that she would have to leave behind- the very place that she had built with so much love. She remembered how excited she and Faizi were to buy a place that they would call as home. Their very own home. From the interior to curtains to furniture to wall colour to décor, Koel and Faizi both had invested so much time and emotions in building this place.

Koel was clueless where to go. But the very first place that hit her mind was of- Bhubaneshwar. Koel's maternal grandmother used to stay there. Koel was thinking of visiting her since long. She never knew that this trip would be planned in haste. But in life often unexpected things happened. She took her phone out and booked two tickets to Bhubaneshwar. The ticket was of morning 6am. Before Faizi could realize anything, Koel was already gone far away from his life.

The tears in Koel's eyes had already blurred her vision just like how her mind was currently. She had so many thoughts in her minds, but she lacked clarity. She doubted each and every step that she was taking. But before she could think about it, she was already sitting in the airport's waiting area. From the glass walls she saw the pinch of orange that spread across the cloudy sky. She had already switched off her phone. As the announcement was made of boarding. Koel picked Nikhil in her arms and with slow and heavy steps proceeded.

Coming out of this flashback Koel kicked her leg in air in frustration, only she knew how long this journey had been for her. After spending few days with her grandmother and then taking up job alongside. And then how one day Koel got a job offer from New York. Koel had spent making sleepiness nights before finally agreeing to take this job offer.

Siddharth knew that it was way beyond his sleep time but his mind kept playing games with him. The whole burden that he carried in his heart all this while just poured itself out infront of Sanjana. But instead of feeling light this weird kind of feelings had filled in his heart. He wanted to just run away from his own mind. Time and again flashes of that phone call kept playing on his mind.

It was a lazy Tuesday afternoon 2 years back when Sanjana called Siddharth. From the tone of her voice Siddharth could figure out that Sanjana was not in a good mood. Before he could ask anything. A cold voice came from there,

Siddharth, I know you love me a lot and trust me so do I but lately I have realised that things seem so difficult to just keep them together. And this pressure of marriage from my family and you saying that you are not ready for such a big commitment, have worsened the situations. So, I have decided something Siddharth. I know this will be tough. And maybe I will regret it later. But it would be better for now that we both just end this. I am tired of this daily arguments Siddharth. I just can't take it anymore. Hope you will understand. Take care. And goodbye Siddharth.

And silence was that prevailed after that.

And those words of Sanjana kept echoing in Siddharth's ears. He felt on his knees. He felt too numb to react. Whether to cry, whether to scream, whether to throw things- he wasn't able to make out what to do. It took him few moments to realize that the one with whom he had planned his future with, the one whom he loved the most. Had suddenly decided to end it all. His world seemed crashing. Suddenly everything had started making no sense to him. With a thud felt his heart shattered into pieces. It felt as if someone kicked hard right on his chest beneath which his heart was situated. He felt hopeless. He wanted to scream but his voice choked. He wanted to call out for Sanjana but he couldn't. His vision blurred a tear started rolling down his cheeks. The bundle of entangled emotions now was making it's way out in the form of tears. And Siddharth didn't protest. He just quietly sat as she experienced with each assign second the heaviness in his heart increased just as flow of his tears.

Siddharth hadn't slept that night. Nor did he sleep for the rest of the week. With each night passing he found himself again entangled in the unanswered set of questions. The he wanted to get away from his feeing the more tighten his feelings their grip on him. But that morning Siddharth came out of his room and accepted the offer that his father had placed Infront of him to join their family business. Siddharth exactly didn't know what made him accept the offer. But that turned to be a very good one. Initially it was a way of keeping himself busy but now he had fully dedicated himself to his work. And he loved it. His routine limited to working all week long and parties on weekends.

Siddharth had finally succeeded in silencing the bundle of unanswered question Sanjana had left him with but now suddenly Siddharth again found himself surrounded by questions.

Sanjana kept playing with the strand of her hair as her mind kept playing the conversation that took just somewhile ago. Sanjana didn't know how to react. Her words had caused more damage than she thought it had. And this years of distance has just worsened the situation. She was already guilty all this while for calling off this relation abruptly and this glimpse of Siddharth's state had just added on to the burden on her heart. She so badly wanted to reslove things between them.

Covered under the thick blanket of heavy thoughts Faizi just kept changing sides as he rolled on the bed. He kept staring the ceiling. He was tired but sleep was away from his eyes. And in place of sleeps flashes of that night kept playing in front of his eyes. The very fateful night that he wished he could erase from his life. But he knew that wasn't possible.

He remembered how he woke up that morning in that empty house. How he screamed his lungs out as he called for Koel. But all that he got was that letter stating she was going away from him along Nikhil. How his life shattered in a moment.

Filled with excitement Karan kept thinking about the onset on the new day. The very day he had waited so long for. He didn't want to even waste a moment of this very day. It was the most important day of his life. Till now he was enjoying all the functions and preparations of his marriage but now with each passing second his excitement just increased.

******

As the Sun set itself to announce the onset of new day, so did Monami's alarm. Monami was wide awaken way before her alarm rang. After all, with the alarm it was onset of her big day. And now Monami could clearly feel those mixed emotions in her heart. She was excited, nervous, happy yet something in her heart made it heavy for to even realize what exactly she was feeling. It was as if suddenly someone had filled her heart with small portions of every kind of feeling. But lying on bed wasn't going to help, so with small steps she walked out of her bed. Monami went straight to the window and brushed open it's curtains. Letting sun's ray make its way in. It was going to be long day.
