The day we met

Part-3

Next day morning

Sameer opened his eyes and looked up at the clock, it was 11 'o clock, looking at the time, he immediately woke up.

Last night both sameer and rahul stayed up till midnight having a heart-to-heart conversation with each other.

It is sameer's birthday today and as usual he had no excitement, but now he was rushing as he has to go visit the orphanage in which he grew up.

Sameer (rushing to the washroom):- Rahul wake up you i***t we have to go to the orphanage.

Rahul (sleepy voice):- I know dude. It is a ritual we follow every year. Give me 10 minutes I will get ready.

Sameer got ready within 15 minutes and was waiting for rahul, he was someone who will take his sweet time to get ready and this really annoys sameer as he doesn't have patience to wait for someone or something.

After few minutes rahul came out all set to go out.

Sameer (smacking his head):- You are anyway going to wear the same 4, clothes every day so why would do you take so long to get ready?

Rahul (smiling):- Who knows what if I find my life partner in the orphanage?

Sameer (face palms):- please stop reading those cheesy books and eating my brain.

Rahul shrugged and went towards the car. He wasn't going to allow sameer to ride the car since he is going to be dwelling in his thoughts and it will be dangerous for him to ride the car.

Sameer sat next to the driver seat, and they started moving towards the orphanage.

Sameer's point of view.

I sighed heavily after sitting in the car. I hate this day even though this is the day when I landed on this planet but I really wish that I wouldn't have been born.

My birthday day hits me with the reality that I am an orphan and have no one in this world.

There are some days when you wish you had someone to lean on. Everyone leaves me after a point of view I guess I am really annoying or a bad luck. This is one of the main reason i don't get too attached with anyone or even share much with people because I am afraid that after they leave me I won't be able to cope up.

I still remember my initial days in the orphanage.

(Flashback)

It has been two days since I went to that orphanage, I started missing my parents and my home so I went to the caretaker aunty to ask her when will I go back to my house?

Me (going near her):- Aunty, when will my parents come to take me back from here?

Caretaker (patting his cheeks):- If you will be a good boy then they will come back early, you need to study well and make your parents proud.

Me (smiling):- Yes aunty, I will be a good boy and make them happy.

I listened to her and behaved well like a good boy, being helpful, studying well everything I did, but they still did not return and now it was two months, I was starting to miss them even more, I started developing the fear that I won't be able to see them again (well the kid in me did not know that in the near future what I was fearing only was going to come true)

Me (near caretaker):- Aunty please take me back to my parents I miss them a lot.

Caretaker (sighing):- Baby listen to me carefully your parents are in heaven now you will not be able to meet them.

Me (shocked):- Aunty what are you are talking about? (crying) please take me back I miss mom and dad.

Present

Rahul placed a hand on sameer's shoulder indicating him that they have reached the destination.

Sameer came out from his flashback and looked around to see that they have reached the orphanage, he sighed deeply and got down the car.

Third person point of view.

Sameer entered the orphanage and all his memories played back. He has mixed feelings about those days, he cannot even hate them as at least he had a roof on his head and even a school to go.

But he always regretted that just because he was an orphan people were never real in front everyone would just sympathize with him, which he hated the most.

With all those memories in his head, and a heavy heart he stepped inside the orphanage. Immediately he was greeted by the same caretaker.

Sameer (painful smile):- This place reminds of my childhood which I try hard to forget but I just cannot help. I am actually blessed to have few nice people like you who took care of me aunty.

On the other side.

Naina decided to go shopping with priya as it has been a long time since they spent some time together.

In the mall, they were pulling each other leg and enjoying their time until naina saw a person, and she stood still, she wasn't able to move an inch.

Person (smirking):- Wow I did not know that we will meet again, and that too in a place like this.

Priya was holding naina and calming her down.

Naina (holding priya's hand):- Listen just stay away. Don't even think of messing up with my life.

Person (chuckling):- Don't worry I am sure god has plans to keep us together forever after all I was an amazing part of your life.

Naina (looking at priya):- I don't care about strangers, priya come Let’s go.

Naina grabs priya hand and leaves from there. The person whom she met was a nightmare in her life, she never expected to meet again nor did she even want to think about that person.

She was happy in her life, so she doesn't want to think about that unwanted person and ruin her day.

She took a deep breath and assured priya that she was fine.

Though they were roaming in naina's mind constantly the flashback was playing, and she wasn't able to control herself from thinking about those days even when she hates those days.
