Ishq ka jaadu sarr chadh kar bole,
Khoob laga lo pehre, raste Rabb khole,
Yahi ishq di marzi hai, yahi Rabb di marzi hai.

HIS POV

I stood there shocked. I never expected to see her ever in my life again.
I stepped towards her and just stood there looking ar her. Looking closely...How much she was the same and how much she had changed.
She took my hand and moved it over the last bench where we written---
"Its Sumellika Forever"
I sat on the bench and she sat next to me remembering our last meeting.

"Kaha the tum Sumedh?"

"Jaha bhi tha Mallika....Humesha tumhara tha."

FLASHBACK

Sumedh and Mallika were sitting on the last bench and were looking at the craving the did on the bench. They were holding hands.They were together from 1 year now. Done with their board exams and were just enjoying the last moments in school.
A poen came

"Sumedh, tumhe principal office mein bulaya hai."

Sumedh got up and everyone started asking him what happened.
He got irritated.

"Abey shakal se jyotish lagta hu kya? Jaake toh aane do, phir batata hu"

"Jaldi aana. Shirt pe wishes bhi likhne hai."
Mallika said.

"MAIN LAUT KE AAUNGA NAHI PAR TUM MERA INTEZAAR KARNA"
Sumedh said jokingly

"Shush! Dramebaaz!!"
Mallika said protectivly.

Sumedh just laughed and went....and never came back.

FLASHBACK ENDS.

"Kaha the tum? Kyun gaye the? Maine uss din tumhara 4pm takk intezaar kiya. Sab chale gaye par main nahi gayi. Shirt bhari thi meri notes se par khali lag rahi thi kyunki tumne kuch nahi likha. Kitne messages, calls kiye tumhe par tum gayab hogaye. Bikul gayab!"

I knew she would have been miserable. But I had no option. I had to leave.

"Uss din jab ghar gaya toh pata chala ki Dad ki death hogai hai. Shaheed hue woh....

Her eyes widened.

"Antim sanskaar hone ke baad Mom ne suicide karli."

"What?!"

"Kuch samajh nahi aa raha tha kya ho raha hai, Tab Dad ke senior mujhe apne saath Delhi le gaye. Mere pass kuch purana nahi tha..phone bhi fek diya unhone.

"Phone kyun feka?"

"He said I have to live a new life. Honestly I was just not thinking about anything....I had just lost my parents....I had no idea what was I gonna do..."

She sat beside me.

"He said that my dad's last wish that I should serve the country too... I wanted to contact you but I thought you must have moved on....I wanted you to move on. I had forgotten your number. I didn't have a phone till I cleared my NDA thing...and then seedhe training. I was a cover...I was posted in Dubai. I was there for 2 years. Kaam khatam hote hi identity change...I was posted in Afghanistan. New identity- Shahzeb Pir.
Sab badal gaya uss ek din mein Mallika. Sab kuch. Kabhi nahi laga tha ki tumse phir milunga. I did try to move on in the beginning....But I never could. I missed you Mallika. I wanted to just rest my head on your shoulder like I used to."

I tear fell from eye on the craving.

"Rest your head on my shoulder."

And....I couldn't control. I burst into tears. I could hear sobs from Mallika too...
