Chapter 4

My mom and Vihaan's mom were best friends. They were neighbours too.When Vihaan was born, my mum was five months pregnant. I was born when she hit her eighth month.

When Vihaan's mum came to see me, she placed Vihaan beside me. I was very close to him. That closeness never faded between us from that day.

Vihaan's dad clicked our pictures on that day. We were looking adorable together.When Vihaan's mom took him in her embrace, he started crying. I got startled and cried too. Our moms laughed at this.

That special moment of ours is still hanged in the middle of my room.

Since our moms were neighbours,we used to be with each other for almost half of the day. We used to talk in our childish voice. We used to giggle and play with each other. Every moment with him is stored with me in the form of pictures. Whenever I see it, I oftenly smile.

Then we grew big, we started going to school. We both took admission in the same school. We used to go together in the morning. We used to whisper many things in each other's ears during the class. We also ended up getting punishment together for this. We were best friends and we never made any friend except each other. Our mornings used to start with each other and in nights we used to sleep together ;sometimes I will be at his house while sometimes the opposite of it used to happen.

We shared beautiful memories together.

I slowly opened my eyes. I blinked few times to grasp the situation. I mumbled Vihaan's name. I felt someone's hold on my forearms tightly. I looked at my right side.

Vihaan was sitting beside me on a stool. His face was looking sad. I smiled weekly.

"I am sorry, Petal." Vihaan spoke in a very soft voice.

"It's absolutely fine, Vihaan." I responded feebly.

"No, it's not ok. I am sorry." He spoke in a sadful tone and in the end, he leaned towards me and embraced me.

He was sobbing hysterically in my arms. I was rubbing his back gently in circular motion to make him calm down.

Few moments later, I broke the hug while he was not ready to leave me. But I did it forcefully. After breaking the hug, I looked straight in his eyes. My eyes were filled with tears too but I blinked few times to get rid of it. Then I hurriedly wiped off my tears.

As soon as my gaze fell on him. My got heart filled with immense pain. I hugged him and sobbed hysterically.

He was sleeping beside me and I was close to his chest.His heart beats were audible. His warmth was providing me peace. The peace which I just craved badly. It felt like an eternity.

Few moments later, I calmed down. I looked in his eyes but his gaze was already on me. We got lost in each other's eyes. The world around us stopped, now the only thing which was important for that moment was his eyes. There was complete silence but his eyes were saying many things to me. The way he was looking at me with pure adoration was giving me immense love once again.
