Apple of your eye - part 26


Soon! He said he would come soon. Days passed by like hours and there was no sign of him. She would ask Nanda about him to only hear that there was no message for her from him. She was wrecked but she never lost hope.

Nightmares and fear that he would be in grave danger would always trouble. However her faith never let her lose the fight against the disappointments. She knew he would come now. He's only stuck up somewhere.

She saw the branches of the tree swaying to the music of wind. It seemed happy , enjoying the music. Everything or everyone  around her looked happy except her. How could she be happy when the only source of her life was lost?

 She had lost everything - her family, her dreams and happy memories. He was the only one whom she could call her own. If he was lost, she had nothing. Her life would be void. There would be no source or hope to stay alive.

She was in her own world when Nanda walked upto her and placed his hand on her shoulder gently. " Aafreen.. I have.. something to tell you", he said softly.  She looked at him with pale eyes begging for good news. Unfortunately his face said something else .. Something that she wouldn't want to hear.

" He .. He's no more!", he said with lot of  emotions and grief. She didn't want to hear this! He cannot be gone. Nanda was lieing. "No!!! I know he isn't gone." , she cried loudly. Nanda knew that she was not going to believe him. But he had to tell her somehow .. the truth that he had kept for many weeks.
