                    I WILL BE THERE FOR YOU

"Raghav! your age is three now What's happening now?" I could hear a man's voice.

"I am admitted to a school" I said."And now you are six"""I got attacked by typhoid"
"You are 17 now"
"PRIYA"
"Who is  Priya?" he asked.
"B.Com first year.Ethiraj College.Winner of ethnic  fashion show in my college"
Soon I began to narrate him.
"I am from Loyola.I was studying second year then.I,Sasi and Prithivi were the organisers of ethnic fashion show at our college.I was registering the names of the participants.I closed the registration at 10 and the all girls show was to start at 12.Every year the show would be the biggest hit and it was not anything less this year.But I felt that the spark was missing.
“Is the registration closed?” a sweet voice enquired me.
“Yeah! It was closed an hour ago” I replied without looking at her.
“Oh you mean I cant win it then” she asked.
I lifted my head up and was to say NO.How could I?
All that I saw was an angel clad in a beautiful white dress and I was dumbfounded by her beauty,to say the least. However her registration sheet had an extra column “Mobile Number”
She was the last one to do the ramp walk and got a standing ovation from the organizers,thanks to me. I introduced myself to her over the mobile and first she was shy to talk,but as time progressed we began to chat.After many days of chatting,we decided to meet at the Marina beach.
“I  love you” I told her as she had put a spoon full of sundal in her mouth.She felt it hard to gulp and I was wondering if my proposal was the reason behind it.She did not tell me anything.
“Speak something” I  asked her.Asking must be euphemistic word , I was begging her.All the way when we were walking together she did not utter a single word.
And when I sat in my bike she sat behind me.”Can’t you realize that I love you?” she asked me.
“I  read it from your eyes already” I lied.”You would never understand any girl in your life” I told  myself.
“And suddenly I am here. I don’t remember anything after that.I don’t know why she left me” I told him.
“I will never leave you  Raghav” I heard her voice.
“Priya” I exclaimed.
“I will be there for you forever Raghav.Sorry !my dad called me then. I had to go” she apologized.
“It’s OK Priya. I knew that you would come for me one day” I told her and we began to chat.The man left the room leaving us alone.
POST SCRIPT:
“Any improvement doctor?” Ash asked.
“He has regained his lost memories.But still he suffers from schizophrenia . He imagines that Priya is still alive.I will try my level best to cure him” the doctor replied.
“How will I tell you Raghav.How will I tell you that you both were hit by a speeding truck that gifted her the instant death and you the eternal agony” Ash said watching Raghav through the window who was chatting alone in the building named “KARTHIKA ASYLUM”.
