Life is so good now. Everything is at peace. I finally graduated today and I'm going to my home after four years. But one person is not happy with my happiness.

" Aansh yaar, you know na I've to go home one day. Why are you making this face now,"  I said to my boyfriend who didn't want me to go.

"I know Bon, I just don't want to stay away from you" I smiled at him and hugged him.

"Don't worry Aansh. I will always come to you whenever you need me."

"I love you Bondita" He said and kissed my forehead.

I didn't reply like always. His face saddened. It was always like this. I had never said to Aansh that I loved him because Whenever I tried his face came to my mind. I don't want to remember him now.

"I'm sorry" I whispered he tried to smile but it didn't reach his face.

"It's okay Bon, take how much time you need" He replied like always. I hate myself for this. I hugged him again to hide my tears.

"Okay Now let's enjoy our graduation," He said playfully, trying to lift my mood. I smiled at him.

We enjoyed a lot. According to Aansh, Today was the last day he would have me so he didn't want to waste it.

We reached my hostel and we bid farewell.

I went to my room and the memories started to rush back. His memories.

No no, I have to control myself. It has been four years. I had already moved on.

I call my mother to lift my mood.

She picked up in a second.

"Hello Bondita, I was about to call you beta. How are you?" She asked. I cleared my voice to sound normal and replied "Maa I'm good. Finally I will be home tomorrow"

We talked for hours and finally cut the call.

My parents adored me a lot. My mother didn't want me to go afar to study but my father supported me so here I am. I myself didn't want to go to another city because I was afraid of the new environment and also because I didn't want to face him anymore.

But life seems quite good here.

I drifted off to sleep after a few minutes.

"Bye Bon" Aash hugged me and I hugged him back. He came to drop me off at the airport.

"No worries Aansh, You will come to meet me in five days remember?" I said. And yes he comforts his parents to allow him to go to Mumbai for a few days and luckily his parents agreed.

"OK now, take care Aansh" I bid him farewell.

Finally, I'm home. And my brother came to Pick me up.

"Bro, I missed you" I hugged him, getting emotional.

"Yaar bro don't make me cry. I'm a boy what will girls think?" He said dramatically.  We had a code and we called each other 'bro'. My brother Veer is the closest to me in my whole family. He is only two years younger than me.

"Ok lets go. Mom and Dad are dying to see you and after dropping you I've to go to meet Anirudh." He said without any break and realised what he said.

My mood automatically dropped after hearing his name.

"I'm sorry bro. I didn't take his name intentionally it just came out in a flow." He said and I knew he was telling the truth so I smiled at him and nodded.

Veer and He were friends from school days because we used to live in the same neighbourhood back then.

When we reached home I got the biggest shock of my life.

What was Anirudh Roy Choudhary doing at my house!?
