(After Sargam left the college the events occured in his P.O.V. It's the same time as chapter 8)

Sargam's P.O.V.

I was back home and informed my parents about the incident of claustrophobia. I've had it for a while. They weren't too shocked but instead happy that Rutvika was present. They went on and on gushing about how she has improved and how she was really cute when they had last last seen her. I decided to leave them and entered my room.

I looked through my old diary and read the writings which were just about her. She had always been something more to me than she used to think. Her hazel brown eyes always clashing with mine catching my attention. Her bright dazzling smile ready to lighten up my day. But she wasn't there when it happened. When my whole day came crashing down just after a month of the day.

I still remember the day she left.

Flashback//

I went to her house to call her and play like we do everyday. I'd even planned a movie marathon with popcorn already prepared. When I entered her house, all I could see was how angry her father were. And how her poor brother was absolutely scared. Her brother was shivering with fear.

Still I took a step towards her brother and he told me that she'd left the house along with her mother. I could not believe my ears. First question, why did she leave.. Second, why didn't she tell me.. Third, where is she gone now and the list of questions went on and on. I ran towards my house and locked myself in the room and cried for God knows how long. When others heard about it, they were shocked as well.

Plus, the rumours were the worst. I couldn't bear to hear them.

'The duo never had a clear character. That's why they ran away.'

'Both were always complaining how they could never get a luxurious life. They ran away for money.'

A whole year went by. I was tired of waiting for her.

Exactly one month, on the same day, the incident happened which totally shattered me. After that incident, I was locked up in my room for almost two months and exiting it only when I had to either go to washroom or eat food. I was alone even with a house full of people. She wasn't there when I needed her the most

I don't know why she left but each one has a choice. It was her decision of not informing me, not choosing me and leaving me. I was out of my trail of thoughts when a sudden knock was heard on my door. I went to open it and found that it was Vikram who had a smile plastered on his face with a mischievous glint in his eyes.

He informed me," You are coming for a movie marathon."

The way he said it told me that was an order not a question or request.

Still I must try.

" Do not think about denying it. "
His voice boomed.

I thought too soon.

" Get ready and we are off to Sujit's house." He left the room while I stood shocked on my friend's bold personality who didn't let me utter a word. Sometimes I wonder how did I make a friend like him. But to say that he is valuable is an understatement. He is much more than valuable for me. He has been my friend all throughout my life till date. We met through our parents when we were in 2nd grade. It's weird but I still remember the day.

Both of us were sitting side by side as our parents wanted us to be friends. He was a shy kid back then and I was a naughty one.

Flashback//

I poked him so that he'll talk to me. But no, he won't. He was really shy and stubborn. Then I decided to kick his chair and he started crying. I helped him get up feeling guilty while he puched me. I stood bewildered on how could he punch me. He looked so thin. We both started fighting and that was the beginning of our everlasting friendship.

End of Flashback//

I've shared all my secrets with him. He is just like the brother I've never had. I wire a blue comfy t-shirt with a jeans and I was ready fir the movie marathon. We went to Sujit's house.

I was setting up the place for the movie marathon when I heard the door being knocked. I opened the door and was shell shocked on seeing her.
