chapter 21

She came to the rooftop garden,  there isn't so many people around because it was Monday and afternoon time too,"Standing here really feels amazing," she said closing her eyes and feeling the breeze"Well ... Daylight view isn't that bad""But night view, you're still number one on my list, so don't feel bad" she is talking to herself"Weather Is nice too"She is talking out loud with herself, walking here and there, enjoying the view then a quote on a board caught her attention* 'Memories are the only one, which stays forever' *"This place is surely crowded by a lot of memories" she mumbled looking around and a building came in front of her sight"I wonder where he is right now," she said with a smile'Four years ago I saw a guy, standing on the edge, his whole appearance was filled with sadness, he was standing there alone wiping out his tears... I was about to leave from there but I failed to convince myself about leaving him there alone and I came back to the rooftop...That is the first time I figured it out 'Weirdness can save someone's life',I still think what if I approached him? What if I tried consoling him to come back down? What if I behaved like the usual me?...... maybe he will jump off in his urge of sadness and pain.'That is how people really are... They only do, what they are told not to...I didn't ever think that those letters of my sad story can be comforting words for someone "STBSLY""Still struggling To Break up with my Souvenir of Liking You" That is when I got to know, 'to free someone else from their pain you need to free yourself first from your pain... from your past'...And that's how I became the 'me', I am right now.' she is occupied by her own thoughts and...Aarav was also there, those two didn't see each other because they are on totally opposite sides of the rooftop garden, 'I'm not interested in anything, I lost my interest when I found out, I am not able to see her again, I am not able to meet her again... I realised how precious she is, only after losing her like that... Her diary was the only thing left for me to feel her presence...' he is busy wandering around here and there while burring his senses under thoughts in his mind'I don't know why I suddenly feel like coming here...... ' he is busy with his thoughts too... But he stopped at a spot..."This place feels familiar even when I came here for the first time" he mumbled He is standing there with a straight face. Three months ago when he heard about her since then, a genuine smile didn't come to knock on his beautiful, perfectly shaped lips, He is sinking deep in a sea of his feelings when someone's shouting pulls him out of his thoughts... I believe ...... "I am the most normal person in the world" she shouted looking at that building".......and I like myself" she smiledHe realised this is the voice his ears wanted to hear... He turned around and saw someone talking to a plant, he can't see her face as her face was hidden because of the leaves..."Hey Mr Plant, if you mind what others will think about your actions, then you are the weird one here" She started talking to a plant and people walking around her left in a hurry making weird expressions... "I hope he is doing fine," she said thinking about the rooftop guy Her voice is making him curious, even though he knows that she can't be here ... She is dead, but still, somewhere in his heart he is declining himself. He is praying for that information, to be fake.In his heart, he is praying for that person to be her...With the hope of seeing her again, with the hope that maybe this person is her... He walked towards her... With a second thought 'what if she is someone else... What if he got disappointed again..?.' For a moment atmosphere around her, got covered by silence as everyone left but then she heard footsteps approaching her from behind, a thought came into her mind that it was Vihaan so she ignored the sound of footsteps and continued admiring the view but someone called out her name from behind and that voice is familiar for her ears"M... Manasvini....." that person said her name in a dim wobbling voiceShe heard a familiar voice even when it was not clear, she knows... She is sure it was not Vihaan, he doesn't usually call her by her full name, she saw a hand approaching her as she turned around to figure out who is it ...... Her eyes widened as she saw that person, that face, but something has changed, those aren't the pair of eyes she used to know...And as for him, she isn't that 'Manasvini' his eyes were familiar to see...
