✤✤✤Riyansh's POV✤✤✤
(On the day when he found Arya)

Her loud voice was suppressing under the thud of my quick foot steps until it died completely into the deserted silence of college corridors.

Now, I was all alone with myself standing in the middle of the corridor. My eyes had a dead fury in them turning into salty remorse.

My heart mourning in darkness, finding a way to release its pain only to realise, there was no escape for it to get out. I could just spend it in my tears.

Her words pounding through my ears in a higher pitch than she said them.

I groaned in resentment towards her words. The anger once again rushing through my blood. Earlier I was angry at her because she didn't inform me before going to her parents home.

But now the case was different. This time I was angry because she had hurt me for the first time and I gotta say it was a very deep wound that she pierced directly through my heart. And I wasn't going to forgive her for that.

The next day I went to the class and she was sitting at the front. She didn't even know how much I missed her seeing in the class. The days without her were really troubling for me. I couldn't pay attention to the class properly, because I was bothered by my emotions.

My heart throbbed knowing that she was sitting at the front. I wanted to look at her, fill her in my eyes properly. I just wanted to spent my time just looking at her innocent face making sure that she was okay.

But I couldn't do that because every time I tried to that, her words start echoing in my mind again. How could she just say that she forgot? Did my feelings were so useless to her? Was I meant nothing to her?

She told me that I was her best guardian angel only to vanish somewhere the next day forgetting that there was a person who cared for her more than she ever did for herself.

And to be honest she never really cared for herself otherwise she won't have those slit patterns decorating her body.

She told me that it didn't cross her mind that she was going to meet her parents and she should inform me. And I thought we were close. It would seem childish to everyone that I was just angry because she didn't tell me that she was going to her parents house. Actually, it was much more than that.

It was the moments of fear she gave me. She gave me fear that I would lose her, after she showed me her wounds, she just vanished all of a sudden. She didn't even know what kind of thoughts I was having. I had seen her misery from my own eyes. Her misery was so frightening to me that I thought what if this misery made her take her own.. No, I couldn't even think about it.

I still remembered how her eyes were full of gloom when she was crying in my arms. I still remembered how she did not even had a hope. She must had a smile at the end of the day on her lips but her smile meant nothing, after she decided to leave without saying anything.

Her smile appeared as a crescent moon to me which fades away after sometime. And did she even know how hard it could be for a person who had seen his friend bleeding to death in front of him because of the same reason that she had.

I was at the same age when I decided to give up on my life as well. After she went away her smile seemed farewell to me. And I felt extremely incapable of comforting her. I could not bear the pain of losing her.

If situations were simple I would not be so hurt, so angry and would not be feeling betrayed but I was angry because she scared me into thinking that she might have done something wrong and her giving a very casual and careless explanation for her deeds was hurting me.

That was why I was enraged by her. She pleaded a lot to me but I turned deaf because the pain was still there in my chest.

Being angry with her was a difficult thing for me to do in this world. I hated myself for doing that. Ignoring her was harder than being angry from her. Because whatever I did I couldn't deny that I care for her from the bottom of my heart.

✤✤✤Riyansh's POV✤✤✤
(Present Day)

I was sitting alone, watching TV but my mind was bouncing back to Arya again and again. It didn't matter how much I ignored her. Her memories kept me occupied. After sometime the doorbell rang. I went to open the door and as I did that, my eyes met with the most unexpected pair of eyes.

Her dull eyes started shimmering when she saw me. My heart ached once again. But for some seconds I couldn't look away from her. Her face was looking pale and grim. Her eyes were looking tired and red still having some traces of tears in them.

I felt an ache in my heart seeing her like this. But then her words rang through my ears once more. And my rage came running through me. "I can't forgive her and if she came here for forgiveness then she won't get any." I thought to myself.

But then out of nowhere her body lost her balance and she was about to fall when I held her protectively in my arms, securing her in my hands.

"Are you okay Miss. Arya?" I questioned in serious tone.

She didn't answered and didn't even blink. But I helped her standing straight. And turned around because I couldn't bear to look at her. The more I looked at her, the more vulnerable my feelings get.

"I hope you are here for some classroom query, Miss. Arya not for your personal reasons." I stated in a stoic voice. I knew it was a bit harsh. But it was the only sentence that could make her go away.

I already told her once if she tried to hurt herself then I would be angry and she had to tolerate my wrath now.

I wanted to leave from there and I was about to leave too when her arms came around my torso and she wrapped me into herself, making my whole body ceased in the moment.

Her arms were tight around me, her head rested on the back of my shoulder. All the thoughts that were running in my mind stopped because the feeling of having her arms around me had completely blocked my other senses and power to think.

The anger inside me dissolving into remorse and remorse into tears.

Her hands clutched my heart which was the most helpless part of my body against her. My heart realising her presence, started striking furiously against my chest, like it had gone insane, and after it, it won't get any chance to beat.

Soon after her sobs fell into my ear, her little whimpers, her anxious breaths all telling me that she was in much more pain than I was. And she was in pain just because of me.

My heart felt a pang of sorrow from within.

"I really missed you." Her words which were nothing but a dysphoric lull made by her lips, filled with immense amount of anguish reached to my ear.

Those words were slow but genuine and these simple sad words gave me the happiness of the world. Just four words worked like magic, joy displacing my anger and the pain she gave me.

I wondered how weird words are, sometimes the words could kill someone and sometimes these words could also bring someone back from the valleys of deaths if they are powerful enough.

Same happened with me too. I resented Arya for the words she said, and the different words of same Arya brought me immense happiness which I could not even store in my heart.

"I want to say much more but I won't be able to, So...." She couldn't complete her sentence because her tears came in the way of her words.

My heart was hurting amidst of the euphoria I was feeling.

"B-Bye" She forced the words to come out of her mouth.

Her arms loosened their grip on me. The warmth which was wrapped around me was interrupted by the sudden coldness when her arms finally left me. The coldness reaching to my heart blinding the ray of hope which was peeking inside my heart, making my heart a dark place.

She backed away from me until the distance grew deeper between us. Then she bumped into an artificial flower vase that I kept near the entrance, and that flower vase fell on the ground breaking into pieces, which pulled me from my trance I was in and I quickly turned around.

Her face flashed fear and anxiety. While her hands were above her mouth in shock and agony. Her teary eyes apologized to me for breaking the vase.

She was froze on her place looking horrified, her eyes questioning my tears as I dashed towards her. The moment I reached to her, she uttered,"I am sorry for the vase."

After that she shifted her gaze away from me with regretful eyes. And turned to leave but I clenched her wrist tightly in my hands.

My heart thumping vigorously in my chest.

"I..." She tried to say something but before she could complete her sentence. I pulled her in my arms, securing her in them tightly.

"I really missed you too." I whispered helplessly in her ear.

And hearing my words, she broke into a sob in response. I stroked her back trying to contain my own tears but I wasn't able to.

I felt guilty for making her so upset. I should not have tortured her like that. I sighed and lowered my head below.

She looked at me with an embarrassed face and glittery eyes shining with tears.

"I am sorry for everything I did, I am sorry I gave you so much of pain. It was all because it was hurting so much inside my heart that I let rage overcame me. But I can't see you in pain. I really care about you. So, please don't cry, Your head will hurt. Please, Stop crying." I brushed her tears from my hands while trying to console her.

"I am sorry too." She cried.

I took her face in my palms. "You don't have to" And kissed her forehead. She hugged me again.

"I am still your guardian angel and always will be. I won't ignore you from now onwards. I am not angry from you anymore. But you also have to be careful okay."

I murmured to her slowly glancing deeply into her eyes.

"Promise, I would never be careless again and you promise me too." She demanded.

I smiled at her, "I give you a promise too, okay."

Her face was between my palms and I was just looking at her face admiring it with a faint smile. Her face looked so beautiful and delicate from close. Her eyes no longer had that blank emotion in them that I saw for the first time when I met her.

Now when I glanced deep into her eyes I found innocence, pride, desire and courage. Her void eyes were full of emotions, beautiful emotions just like her. Her tears drenched eyes were sparkling like the waves of ocean under the sun light.

She had no tears staining her cheeks but they were still moist, fluffy and soft like cotton candy when I touched them. Their texture were same as Rasogullas.

(Image of White and Black Rasogullas, they are sweet, smooth and tasty in texture)

When I dragged my fingers alongside of her cheeks. She breathed slowly kissing the air from her tender lips.

And then she exhaled warmly on my lips. And my heart and mind started revolting against me.

As I drowned myself into her eyes, she asked with her mesmerising voice, "Why are you looking me like this? Is something wrong?" and then blinked her eyes.

"Nope, nothing is wrong. I haven't seen you from so many days. So, I was just missing you. Therefore I am looking at you like this." I replied not moving my eyes from her face.

"You make me nervous when you look at me like this." She uttered and gazed down nervously.

I lifted her chin quickly with my fingers, So that she could look directly in my eyes and her small eyes got bigger in nervousness. And she just looked at me with innocence.

"Why do you feel nervous? Does it make you uncomfortable? If it makes you uncomfortable then I won't do anything like this again." She didn't say anything for some seconds just scratched my shirt with her finger before saying anything.

"Nope, it doesn't make me uncomfortable when you do that. It makes me feel something else." She answered to me and tried to hid her eyes from me. Her cheeks were a shade of red and they were warm as well looking like juicy tomatoes.

"Then what does it make you feel?" I questioned her.

Her expression turned serious. "I would not like to tell you that." She mumbled looking at me.

I just smiled and kissed her on the forehead once again. "It's okay, tell me when you want to."

She looked into my eyes and pointed at her cheeks. I furrowed my eyes in confusion. "Is there something on your cheeks?" I asked her.

She just rolled her eyes at me in disappointment. Then she kept her finger on my lips and then gestured at her cheeks again.

I still acted all clueless and she gave me a sad frown.

"Okay, I am leaving." she blurted in annoyance and anger. And started stomping off when I hugged her from behind and bit her on her tomatoes like cheeks. And kissed her lightly on top of my bite. Her cheeks turned more reddish.

She gave me the cutest smile. "One more please." She begged innocently like a child for candy.

"You are greedy, Aren't you?" I teased her.

Her face suddenly fell down. "Yes, I am greedy, because except mum-dad, you are my only one who cares about me. And you are the best person in my life. So I am greedy about you." She murmured with an upset smile that made me sad.

"Hey my sweet little lioness, I was just kidding with you. I love that you are greedy okay, Don't be sad. I will always be with you." I consoled her.

She smiled back and I pulled her soft cheeks. And poked them with my fingers. They were like soft cushions. My fingers sank deep in them. And she looked extremely adorable. Her cheeks could be used as stress reliever.

She glared me for doing that and I giggled.

"Now, tell me how did it go at your house? Did you tell everything your parents? I need to know everything in detail." I said

And she started reciting everything.
