SOULMATES : Chapter 1

Dear Diary,

Life is Strange.Here hello's are followed by bie's.Departures are irrevocable and the departure of those who had touched heart at some part of life leave scars to the soul.


It was a pleasant summer night.He walked out of his hostel room around 2.30 a.m.The world was deep in slumber at this hour but his eyes deserted sleep.It felt like life lost its meaning,Like nothing will be fine ever again.He kept on walking having no idea where he was going just like he had no idea where destiny was taking his life.Time passed slow,one hour felt like ages but finally after a while the sun was up.Just then he heard a pleasant sound,he walked where his senses guided him.Sound was becoming more clear by now.

 Sitting at the edge of the roof of the legs swinging down,  wind playing with her hair,taking them on her face.And the sun rose,her radiant skin shinning even more as the sunrays fell on her face.She was playing guitar and singing beautifully.A melody full of life.Like it was some sign by the almighty,that there is still some meaning left to his life.Standing still for a while,he was gathering his shattered pieces of his life,Breathing deep.She sensed him around and stopped singing.As he blinked, his eyes got wet.
"Heya"he said hiding his tears.

"how long have you been standing here Mr.",asked shruti in an embarraced tone.
"well...i just came...by the way what are you doing with guitar,do you know how to play it??"he cleverly lied.
"Naahh!!!pose maarke photo khinchne ke liye rakha hua hai"shruti chuckled.

Dhruv smiled in an uncomfortable way said goodbye and left.
Dhruv back in his room laid in the bed and wondered what was it about the girl which attracted him towards her.Maybe the music she played.She seemed too outspoken,on the other hand dhruv was an introvert,he liked to remain reserved. Her thought kept the other evil thoughts away from his mind atleast for a short while.
That day was the first day of college. Dhruv was sitting alone on the last bench of the class.That day Shruti was late, so she entered from the backdoor of the classroom hiding from the teacher.She saw the same guy she met earlier in the morning sitting on the last bench,so she went and sat next to him.Shruti said hie but Dhruv did'nt take a notice of it.

"What kind of a guy are you dude?" Shruti angrily said.
"Excuse me"
"It has almost been 15 minutes a beautiful girl is sitting next to you and you are'nt even bothered to say hiiee,What kind of a guy are you" Shruti added in a humourous tone.
Dhruv preferred to ignore Shruti and continued to listen to the lecture.

"How rude is that dude,what the hell do you think of yourself.GET LOST!!!"shruti left looking quiet offended but Dhruv did'nt bother.
The rest of the lecture Shruti kept on giving tough looks to Dhruv.He just ignored and listened carefully to the lecturer.
During recess time when the excited first year students were trying to interact with each other and make new friends, Dhruv preffered going back to the hostel room to stay alone.As he was walking through the corridor some seniors came in a group and started ragging him."hey you clean my shoes"-said a senior.Dhruv agreed at once.He took a cloth,threw it on the senior's shoe and put a foot on the cloth and plodded over his feet.
"Anything else sir"-he asked sarcastically and went away.
As Dhruv went back to his room,he find another guy unpacking his suitcase.

"Hey brother I am Shayan, your room mate"
Dhruv just waved his hand and went out of the room to find a quiet and lonely place.The dawn was approaching and once again and the memories of past were again set to haunt him.All the day he would remain fine but nights were difficult and never ending.The dawns would approach and wet his eyes and the nights ended with an ironical promise that it was the last time he cried and that he would never cry again.
