Dhara's boyfriend

"Happy birthday Dhara." Drishti sighed and shuffled Mayank's hairs. He just smiled a little. She always did it when he was young but he has already grown up. it's a little odd yet heartwarming.

"That's the first time you came with someone." Mayank pointed at Raunak. Every year this day Drishti used to spend time with Mayank and they remember Dhara. She didn't inform anyone about it.

"Hmm....First time." She smiled faintly.

"So every year, you come to meet him leaving everyone in tension?" Raunak sighed. he didn't know what to say. He couldn't even blame them. They were really close since childhood.

"Not only me......." Mayank opened his mouth but suddenly stopped while his gaze met hers. He bit his lips feeling he shouldn't have said all those.

"Then?" Raunak raised an eyebrow. He assumed both of them talk about Dhara or something. Here he informed another one was in their team.

Drishti and Mayank exchanged their looks. They didn't know what to say. Mayank was feeling an urge to slap himself. He said too much.

"Errr......" Drishti was thinking what to say.

"Dhara di's secret boyfriend." Mayank completed those words for her. He smiled remembering how much that loved loved his sister. He loved her like a mad man.

"What!!? Dhara's boyfriend? She even had a boyfriend?" Raunak never heard about these. Even Anand never mentioned.

"Hmmm.... secret boyfriend actually. No one knew about him except us. His name is....Jagdish." Drishti sighed. Jagsish was a real nerd. He was so much into studies in his college. But that man cared about Dhara from his heart.

"Oh! I thought you and Dhara were alike. Seems like you had too much differences." Raunak said feeling a little odd.

"We were different by nature of course." She shook her head.

"Where is Jagdish then?" Raunak looked around. No one was there except the three of them.

"He won't come anymore." Mayank wiped those tears welled up his eyes, "He needs to forget Dhara di. He can't hold back the past. Who is gone is gone forever. He remembered her for that much time us enough to comfort my heart. She got a real lover."

"Will you elloborate?" Raunak didn't understand a bit if his words.

"Actually Jagdish got married recently. It was an arranged marriage from his family. He loved Dhara and his family knew it. He even loved her after she was raped. He loved her in every situation. But she is no more. He lived in her memories for those years. But now his family pestered him to get married and settle down. He didn't have any choice. He was loyal to Dhara but now he needs to be loyal to his wife. He can't look back anymore neither can come to celebrate his ex girlfriend's birthday. I forbade him to come here anymore. He have to love and accept his wife wholeheartedly. He needs to forget Dhara now." Drishti took a deep breath.

Mayanl lowered his head. He didn't want that girl to suffer for his sister. That girl was innocent here. Jagdish could never give her punishment for Dhara's death.

Raunak didn't know what to say more. First love was something really special. It always remains in the deepest part of heart. The more they said, he was sure Jagdish loved Dhara more than himself. But fate didn't plan to meet them together. They were destined to fall apart. Now really Jagdish needed to love his wife. He had responsibilities.

"Well now forget about Jagdish. God bless him and his marriage. And may Dhara rest in peace. She will be happy to see Jagdish happy right?" Raunak said in a low voice.

"Mayne she can get jealous. She doesn't have a low EQ like Dri Di." Mayank smirked.
