His hands covered his eyes. His head bent in despair. He was angry at himself as well as at the world. He had loved Rita deeply. Within three years, she had become strong anchor to his life. He was fun and full of energy guy in front of world but he got that energy from Rita. He had thought she understood him well. He was wrong.
There was short knock on the door. Later a soft feminine voice called his name. He turned behind in shock. He almost thought it was Rita. To his dismay, it was Simran. "Hey!", she said when he opened the door for her. She followed him inside. "Are you okay?", she asked
There was no response. Thy both sat in silence. No words. Awkward silence flowed between them. His face said it all though he tried to hide his emotions. "I have seen your performances. They are spectacular. What happened today? You look lost.", she said, trying to break the ice between them.
There was no response from him. "It happens. Everyone faces these blues. But since your break up, you are not yourself. You loved Rita deeply, right?" ,she continued, finding the silence strange. "Yes, I do.", he said with almost tears in his eyes.
He tried to cover his eyes. She came closer and held his hands. "Don't hide those tears. Let them fall.", she said softly. "Pour out your pain. When you are done, we can get back to work with calm mind. When this is done, we will get your relationship sorted with Rita.", she consoled him.
"What if she doesn't want me back? What if she finds someone else in her life?", he asked innocently."Why are you pessimistic? She will come back once she knows the truth. I don't think anyone could replace you in her life. So chill. If it does happens, you will find better one.", she said. Finally he smiled and hugged her.
