Before And After We Met

CHAPTER 3

Dhruv

It's a new day and also a new beginning without Kavya in my life. I know I can do this. I am going to visit a park today so that I will feel fresh and well. I woke up and took a shower. Did my breakfast. Kissed mom on her forehead and left for the park.

It was a bright and sunny morning. White, fluffy clouds drifted across the sky, A strong gust of wind blew against my face. I reached the park, everyone was happy there, children were playing, old people were taking a walk. I am feeling refreshed here. My phone chimed, it was a text from kavya.

Kavya: I am in my university right now.

Dhruv: omg! I am really happy for you.

Kavya: Thank you. What's up with you?

Dhruv: I am in the park right now, surrounded by nature.

Kavya: oh nice. Ok I gotta go now, Mom is calling me.

Dhruv: okay, see yaa.

I am happy for her and I just want the best for her. As I was putting my phone in my pocket, I saw a girl fainting near the fountain of the park. I immediately reached that place, she was surrounded by a crowd. People were asking for water. I got the water bottle, wait I said. I took some water in my hand and put it on her face, she came into consciousness after that. I asked her, "Are you okay?". "Yes", she said. I helped her to sit on the bench. Her face was pale and sad. Seems like she was crying for a really long time or something. Do you want me to drop you at your place? I asked her. She said no, I am alright. She started crying. Hey, what happened? I know I am a stranger and I don't have any right to ask you such personal questions, but trust me it's a good decision to talk to strangers, because you will never meet again and your secret is safe. My ex came back into my life. I was in a toxic relationship. Today all the bad memories of him came back to my mind and I can't control them. I don't want to get hurt again in my life. Listen, you don't need to cry for a person who gave bruises to your heart. You are not that weak to get affected by the existence of such a person who doesn't deserve your tears. Don't let anybody hurt you the way he hurt you in your life. I am a stranger to you but I believe you, stranger. Yes, you are right, why should I give him this much importance. I have already ruined my competition now I can't ruin my life for him. I am feeling better now. Suddenly a flashmob of students came, they were doing a performance on some issue and I was looking at them and when I looked beside me the girl was not present there. I guess because of the flashmob we got lost. Anyways, it was nice talking to someone. She forgot her necklace and a form. How will I return this to her now? A name was written on that form- Samaira.
