"Shreya, don't you love me? I can understand I was busy preparing for exams, but now I have got the job and my posting will be mostly here. We can easily make our life wonderful." 
"Vivek, you were not available emotionally to me. Everytime I called you, you were busy with your preparations. Even for the sake of love, you could have met me; but no. And I am sorry but Gaurav gave me all those what I had expected from you" Tears were rolling down from Shreya's beautiful face but why am I not able to see her face properly? Why the picture is so blurred? Suddenly I heard "See, Gaurav and me are in deep love and I have experienced things which I had never experienced with you. Vivek, are you listening?"
"You slept with her, you bitch. You...", saying this I raised my hands. She held my hands tighter. "Stop it Vivek, you have no right to slap me." I raised my voice. "But I loved you more than my life, dear", "Why do you lie Vivek, I know about your secret love affairs, don't make me say it", she joined in. Oh, the place is turning blurred. Why?? And what is she saying? Secret love affairs?? Why am I not able to see anything clearly? And then a huge hit on my head and I woke up from my dream. I was on my bed sweating from everywhere. Natasha hugged me tightly, "What happened darling? Did you again see a dream?"

For the first time I was hit in my dreams. Is it because of that Dr. Priyanka's therapy or medications? What actually happened? I slowly took out Natasha's hands from hugging me and asked her two questions. "Where is Shreya? and who are you?" I looked at her face, pale and an unknown fear was gripping her. She lowered her eyes. I clasped her hand tightly and asked, "Who gave you the right to manipulate my life? Why did you all this?? Don't sit like a dumb. Answer me, Natasha" My voice rose higher with each sentence I said.
"She ditched you Vivek. She left you in the middle of nowhere. Whereas I took care of you, never slept when you were in coma after being hit by that lady. She left you unconscious. I saw you lying on the floor and took you to hospital. I could have left you in your state but my heart stopped me from leaving you alone. And after you came back from coma, you said a story from your broken pieces of memories and I just knew one thing; that is there was someone named Shreya and that you loved her. I went to your college and inquired about her and finally knew the truth about Shreya and also how good you are. I fell in love with you. But to get you, you had to forget Shreya. If I would have said the truth you would have never agreed to it as you loved her deeply. And that's the only reason, Vivek we needed to create a story in your mind. Because what you knew was false and you didn't have the power to digest the truth. Shreya never deserved you, Vivek; never", said Natasha sometimes holding my hands firmly and sometimes caressing my head. I wanted to shout as my question remain unanswered but my brain told me something's not right and it's better to keep quiet.

I went to my laptop and opened Natasha's facebook profile. Before a year she had unfriended Miss Shreya Sharma and my mind started giving my ideas to go more deep into that past. I opened the account of Shreya Sharma and status last updated a year ago. And it read, "How could the person you love the most have multiple love affairs and still act like nothing happened?" #FeelingSad Suddenly my last dream came into my mind where Shreya had said she knows about my secret love. But how come I don't know about it? Another question that popped my head "Where is Shreya now?" "Why her account is still active but no one is using it?"

When you think a lot about something, God sends you signals. That's what happened and without any reason, I rushed to the police station near our college and asked if there's any missing complaint about Shreya Sharma? And whoosh, my fears came true. Shreya is missing for last 11 months. And then again I raced my brain to think of something so that I reach to the crux of the story. My sixth sense sensed that there is something both Dr. Priyanka and Natasha are hiding from me. And Dr. Priyanka was the one I need to ask as Natasha was trying to make me believe in her story. A plan was made in the mind. I went to Dr. Priyanka's home. She opened the door and was quite startled to see me. "I have something to say you and ask you doc, and better give your cellphone to me."

"What happened Vivek?" the doc said in a quivering voice. I replied back, "A missing complaint is there at the police station for Shreya Sharma 11 months back. I was hit by something and was in coma during the same time. I loved Shreya. I didn't know who Natasha is. You, doc didn't take my permission or my parents to delete parts of my memory and did that by taking permission of someone I don't even know. May be I don't have any strong evidence against you but atleast this much of fact will help the police solve a missing case defaming your morals as a doctor. So, please say me the truth whatever you know; else I will have to go to police station."

"This is not right", she said. I asked "Really? OK let me go then." "No, please stop. I will say you but please don't complain in police." I nodded my head just to listen the story.

"Natasha is my best friend", she started "And we both studied in the girl's college located opposite to yours. She was madly in love with you. That's not love. It was her obsession to get you. She used to collect coffee cups from CCD in which you drank coffee. And used to be a silent observer to you, wherever you go. And once she knew you loved Shreya, she became mad. She wanted you. Shreya was a good girl, Vivek and so were you. But your preparations helped Natasha fill ears of Shreya that you were not good for Shreya and you had other girls in your life. Even God helped Natasha in achieving her goal of breaking up your relation when Shreya completely broke up and her long time lover, Gaurav came for her help and she found solace in him. That night when you went to inquire her about her love, Natasha had followed you. Verbal fights ended when by mistake Shreya hit you hard on that part of brain which made you go into a coma. But that 2-3 hits from Shreya out of anger also made Natasha angry and she did something unexpected. In one line, she killed your Shreya. She murdered her brutally when she saw Shreya hit you out of anger. And then she called me for help. Being a friend, I helped her accomplish a criminal act by bribing the locker room security officer. I knew she could do anything to achieve you, also kill me. That's why I just did whatever she said. You won't believe but I am also a victim, Vivek. She has threatened me a lot of times when I used to say her that confess to Vivek. Vivek, you are a good man. But I don't think you can escape from her. She is a possessive, obsessive and violent person. That's it, Vivek. That's the truth you needed to know. Don't do anything stupid." I stood up with just one sentence echoing in my head "SHE KILLED YOUR SHREYA" I didn't know what to do. What can I possibly do? And now, my brain was running out of ideas. How can I confront Natashafor what has she done? My blood was boiling with anger but what could I possibly do?

I returned home. The door was open and no one was seen. Natasha's cellphone was ringing continuously but Natasha was nowhere to be found. I checked her phone. It was from Priyanka. I picked up and asked "What happened?" And with a panicked voice, she asked, "Wherrr is Natasha? Affter youu went, I called her andd saidd her that I toldd you everyythingg andd she justt cut the calll.. Wherrrr is she, Vivek?" I was almost about to fall listening to those cries by Priyanka but controlled myself and started yelling, "NATASHA, WHERE ARE YOU??" And then as I opened the bathroom, I saw the blood stained wall which read, I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU and below the shower was Natasha with her wrist slit. I went near her and a voice came out of me "Why?" There was no answer as she lay dead there under the shower. Her eyes looked as if she suffered a lot of pain before she died. I sat there for sometime thinking about what she did and how she ended herself only because she knew I would never love her again.

A drop of tear came out of my eyes as my heart whispered "She finally killed herself to prove that she only loved you." But my brain interfered, "WAS IT LOVE?"

KARMA IS A BITCH...

Today I encountered a good experience, and my belief on GOD or whatever you call strengthened more. Its true whatever you do, will return back to you because KARMA IS A BITCH... Hope you all like it...  Today morning a wonderful experience I had, Though it felt good, trust me for someone it was bad. But what to do KARMA IS A BITCH, It never leaves till to you a lesson it teach. For every single word you speak that hurts other, One day with interest returns back to you and bother. But I am happy that someone is there, Who is ready to give every human their deserving share. Experiences in past had already made me a believer of God, But today I knew that no human is spared from his sword. The saying is true that, as you sow, so shall you reap; Even in a second the fortunes can flip. Don't hurt someone who's poor due to your present high status, Because even from the mud, someday blooms a lotus. For people who think nothing bad can happ...

THE ONE MADE/MAD FOR ME.. :)

People, friends, parents all say that someone is made for you who will be mad for you... I am also waiting for that someone to come in my life and just sweep me off my feet.. Usually girls say this but boys also think that.. So this is for those guys who are waiting for their true love, their life, their soulmate. :) I'm  waiting for the day, For what my friends do say; When the girl made for me, Will come looking for me; It will be a beautiful view, When I say her, “I LOVE YOU” I'm  waiting for the time, When God on me will shine; And show me who is mine, That day will be divine; As I will go to her from behind, And say her you are only mine. True love is not always about dying, Its about growing old together enjoying. Some people say love is difficult, I think it’s the lovers’ fault. Because all you need is two true hearts, Who always trust and never be apart. I'm  waiting for that her, Who will love me forever. Ma...
