Epilogue

Riddhima stood at the door for a moment , the train slowly paced ,

This was so nostalgic , she was standing at the same place when all this started and she is still at the same place when all this has ended , she realized it has been a month , a journey of one month which will be the most venturesome journey , her life will ever offer again , life is unpredictable at times , ops , every time.

Her hairs were fluttering in the air , and the rushing wind slowly calmed her regretful heart . The platform was about to end and she turned , now finally she can say she would never be able to visit this place again , finally , but time will tell if she would ever be able to come out of it. She closed her eyes tightly.

"I am sorry......." She wispered under her breath , sorry if she had something in her which would have ruined something else but she knew the person most ruined right now was none other than herself. People can move on from heartbreaks but how to do that for hearts which weren't even joined , her life was a sarcasm in itself , She felt an urge to stop everything and return to him and just say out her heart once, just once...

But Pihu was right a little late is late forever .... A tear felled down her eyes as the rain poured outside and she stepped in .

"Hey........ Will you give me a hand miss " , Someone shouted.

Her eyes brodened at the voice. She turned in disbelief and looked outside.

Someone was running to catch the train . She stood there blankly . Her lips parted in surprise , is this for real or again some illusion. Her heart felt a fluttering happiness , all the regret suddenly vanished , just faded as if she was waiting for it , was she just waiting for it ?

"Your hand....." He shouted again.

The rain was slowing down but the train wasn't.

She streched the hand unknowingly , come on, she is already habitual of it.

Grabbing it , he jumped in.

He took a deep breath and looked at Riddhima.............

"That day ......it was you ......." , She spoke in broken words, this nostalgia was so different like , surreal.

He looked at her for few seconds and then grabbed her into a tight hug , his hand holding her as if he would loose her if not held tightly.

His head deep into her hair and an undisturbed silence....

Riddhima stood unmoved , she was still for sometime, blinking she came to senses, feeling herself in his embrace , her heart felt so light ....... weightless.

Her hands slowing fixing at his shoulder with unknown tears dropping down her eyes. The raindrops in there cloths slowly intermingled and there was a stillness undisturbed by the windy rain.

His hands embraced around her and she melting into him slowly , the cold winds envyed there warmth.

The train was rushing and they stood there unmoved , unaware, unbreakable , just one.

Realizing how tightly he had held her , he backed slowly wiping his tears.

"You went without even saying a goodbye......." He shouted .

"You came just to say a good bye." There was weak smile in her teary face.

His anger melted , this was so wrong , he wanted to be angry no......... and he wiped her tears cupping her face.

"No.... I..... Came to tell you something...." He wispered under his breath .

"What.." she said with that weak smile.

"What is what ...... You don't want to say anything.....",

"I can't remember it ..." , She looked at his eyes.

He held her hand , caressing her fingers slowly , he looked up.

"Riddhima......... Stay",

" And why.....", She asked mischievously.

"You .......... You know it....",

"I seriously can't remember it.",

He took a deep breath , narrowing his eyes.

"Ok then I will go , good bye."

"Ok bye....", She frustrated him a little more.

"Bye....." , He walked to the door , to the running ground outside.

Riddhima looked at him , has he lost it, she held his hand and backed him down the door.

" Vansh .... you will fall ........",

"I already did ...." he looked at her.

Smiling he stepped forward a bit , raising his feet to the running grounds outside.

"Are you mad ......" ,She shouted at his insanity.

"Little though..." ,He smiled.

"You are psycho.....", She pulled him to the aisle , blocking every way to his insanity.

" So..........Will you be my psychologist" ,He smiled,

" like......forever............". He looked at her eyes.

Riddhima blinked , breaking into a laugh.

"I am serious and you are laughing."

" No....... I mean.......this was quite weird type."

Vansh held her , caressing his hands slowing down her shoulder he  rested his forehead on her , as there skin touched it felt like everything has slowed down , his fingers slowly gripping her , she slowly opening her eyes to him , there breaths slowly colliding.

"This is unique ok....... will be the psychologist for your pshyco ......forever."

Her lips curled into a deep smile, the unknown teras trying to  surpass her smile.

She nodded with that teary smile , tears blocking her words......

Vansh took her into another hug so close that no force in this world can separate them now , ever , ever again .

"I love you.....", He wispered .

"I love you too......", Her lips caressed his cheeks slowly as she spoke , in that tight embrace.

There was a background music offcourse not the one you had to get a subscription for , it was there heartbeat , till they lived , it will be there and to be exact , forever.

"I love you three........" , Pihu shouted standing at the end of the aisle.

Both of them turned to the eyewitness who will surely gonna make this a headline tommorow.

Vansh and Riddhima looked at each other and then at the Pihu who walked up to then with a teasing smirk on her face.

She pulled the chain.

"Finally....", She jumped in joy. Riddhima held her head .

"Finally ....", Pihu danced down the aisle till she reached them , an woman was staring at this crazy fellow .

"What lady give me a high-five common.......... ", Pihu looked at the lady overjoyed. The lady looked at her shocked , ignoring these boring people she walked upto them as the teasing smirk was up again on her lips.

"Ok ....... I have no problem in being your psychologist." She mimicked Riddhima." I did this course for you only." She laughed.

Riddhima looked at her and then at Vansh in embarrasment.

"What....." ,Pihu ran to her .

"Vansh...... Man I knew it, I just knew it you are my savior, otherwise I have to handle this mess forever......." ,She laughed looking at Riddhima.

"I will handle my mess now.", Vansh smiled.

"Oh my god......So .....ro..man....tic ..", Pihu winked at Riddhima while she turned her head.

"Pihu........" Riddhima spoke biting her lips.

"Ok ok I am going ...... You continue your ro....man....tic.... moment but atleast come outside the train has stopped for you only."  She laughed as she ran to the seat to bring out the luggage.

Vansh looked at Riddhima smiling as she took a deep breath as Pihu went back. He jumped out and held her down to the platform. Aryan stood there smiling.

Vansh slowly held her hand , enwinding each fingers across his, never ever part again, they walked to the shade were Ishani and Advait were waiting .

The rain has slowed down as he stealed a glance of her walking with that heartily smile , it was never about him , it was never about world , it was never about anything else , it was her , it was just her , she is finally not just someone , and now he knows what she mean to him .

Everything which has meaning is she and she is meaning of everything he would want ever , it was so simple like so simple , he laughed at his stupidity no wonder he is a pshyco....

Pihu looked out of the train.

"Hey couple goals who will carry this luggage ",she shouted.

"Give it to me ." Aryan streched a hand .

"Ohh brother of Mister unknown her take it...." And she threw the luggage at his face.

Balancing the sudden throw Aryan held it down.

"I am Aryan ...." He spoke.

"Whatever......" Pihu came out smiling.

As she rushed to her "couple goals", she stopped at the bench.

She looked at the assignment which was thrown there , taking up the thrown assignment in her hands a smile crypt on her face.....

"Hey brother of...... I mean Aryan, do you have pen.",

Aryan looked at this drama queen and checked his pocket.

"Here......" He handed her the pen.

Pihu took it with a jerk and caught it as it was about to fall....

"Carefully........ It's expensive, Parker duofold  centennial , bro gifted it to me and.......".

"Can this write?" Pihu asked in disinterest.

"Offcourse....." Aryan eye widened at his insult.

Happily Pihu opened the last page on the assignment and inside the blank box , she wrote.

- completed -

She looked at the clenched hands walking in front of her , the care and concern , she knew it , she always knew it , the thin sunlight peeking from the clouds and the slowing rain , life is made of hope , hope is what makes life. Whatever Mother Teresa her friend may be but she is the one who taught her to believe in hope , when nothing stays...

"Completed ..... " Aryan asked looking at the file.

Pihu looked at him and then at them.

"No.............. Time for new assignments." She smiled.
