A VOICE FROM BEHIND : Why is there so much silence like something bad happened ... ?

SUHANI : ( raising her eyebrows ) And who is that person ... ?
ALWIN : She came to college only with me ... actually I wanted you all to meet with her ...
At the same time one girl came inside the canteen and came infront of Alwin ...
THE GIRL : ( waving to the group ) Hello to all of you ... Nice to meet you all ...
Everyone said hello to her ...
ALWIN ( clearing his throat ) : Okay so attention here please ... ( all looked towards him ) okay so she is Shanaya ... ahm she is my childhood friend and she ...
Alwin stopped abruptly ...
ARANYA ( unbelievably ) : And she is the person whom you love ... ?
Alwin smilingly moved his head down ...
ARANYA : Why didn't you tell about her before ... ?
SHANAYA ( taking the question on behalf of Alwin ) : Actually though we are childhood friends but we were not in touch for many years but a few months back when he came to Delhi we met at a function and we again got to know each other and started talking again and knowing each other more ... and thus slowly and gradually we generated feelings for each other ... and ...
ALWIN ( stopping her ) : Are are ... let me also explain something afterall they are my friends ... ( Shanaya nodded her head so he started explaining ) so the thing is that as we started talking we got to know each other more and gradually we came close ... as our families are also friends we decided to take this thing forward and we shared our feelings ... ( holding each others hands ) so now we are before you and we are finally announcing our relationship ... you are lucky that you all are the first ones to know because this was kept secret from our families also ... we will tell them once her family is settled ...
ARANYA ( getting out of shock ) : This is really a very big news ... congratulations guys I hope you stay happy like this only ... ( taking out her phone ) sorry guys please excuse me I have to make an important call ...
They nodded their head and she moved out from the canteen with the phone ...
Suhani looked towards her friend who was silent from very long time and not saying anything ... she was very concerned for her friend but didn't express anything infront of others ...
ABHIPSA ( smiling broadly ) : So finally someone is in love ohoo ... now we want party ... ( looking towards others ) what do you say guys ...
SUHANI ( nodding her head ) : Ofcourse we all want party ...

SHANAYA : ( nodding ) Ok then see you at dinner ... bye ... ( turning towards others ) bye bye see you all soon ... and yes say bye to Aranya from my side also ...
All nodded their heads and said bye to her ... and then they all went for their classes ...
But one of them turned silent not able to express any feelings ... she was broken from inside ... she was smiling from outside but crying from inside ... just not to let anyone know she was bleeding from inside ... just to keep her friends happiness as it is she pulled a mask of smile ...
On the other hand Suhani well knew what her friend is going through but she also knows her friend will never express anything ... Suhani thought to talk to her later ...
I'm bleeding out
So if the last thing that I do
Is bring you down
I'll bleed out for you
So I bare my skin
And I count my sins
And I close my eyes
And I take it in
I'm bleeding out
I'm bleeding out for you, for you
When the day has come
That I've lost my way around
And the seasons stop
And hide beneath the ground
When the sky turns gray
And everything is screaming
I will reach inside
Just to find my heart is beating
Oh, you tell me to hold on
Oh, you tell me to hold on
But innocence is gone
And what was right is wrong
'Cause I'm bleeding out
So if the last thing that I do
Is bring you down
I'll bleed out for you
So I bare my skin
And I count my sins
And I close my eyes
And I take it in
And I'm bleeding out
I'm bleeding out for you, for you
When the hour is nigh
And hopelessness is sinking in
And the wolves all cry
To fill the night with hollering
When your eyes are red
And emptiness is all you know
With the darkness fed
I will be your scarecrow
You tell me to hold on
Oh, you tell me to hold on
But innocence is gone
And what was right is wrong
'Cause I'm bleeding out
So if the last thing that I do
Is bring you down
I'll bleed out for you
So I bare my skin
And I count my sins
And I close my eyes
And I take it in
And I'm bleeding out
I'm bleeding out for you, for you
I'm bleeding out for you, for you
I'm bleeding out for you, for you
I'm bleeding out for you, for you
I'm bleeding out for you
'Cause I'm bleeding out
So if the last thing that I do
Is bring you down
I'll bleed out for you
So I bare my skin
And I count my sins
And I close my eyes
And I take it in
And I'm bleeding out
I'm bleeding out for you, for you
