"Listen do me a favour. Don't try to contact me from now on" I said to Pritisha with as much hate as i coild show to my closest friend. "But... why?" . "You know for once, its none of your business" I snapped at her. "Dude, what happened? Why are you acting like this." Akash asked. "Why don't you go and ask your girlfriend or shall i say girlfriends about it?" "Wait, what do you mean girlfriends?" Aahana asked. Akash looked down on the ground. "Akash, what did he mean by 'girlfriends'?" "I don't know. He has lost his mind." "Have I?" "Yeah, you have" Akash gritted his teeth. "Well then i guess you won't mind telling her about Divya?" "What about her? Akash, what about her?" "It's nothing like that Aahana" Mehul tried to cool things down. "What do you know? Pretending to be all high and mighty and trying to be the most resolved among us while you know it very well who needs these so called "advice" of yours." "Swapnil, don't you dare bring her into this." "Why not? She didn't do anything for you except than to leave you like that." "Swapnil, I am warning you not a word more." Mehul said clenching his wrists. "Tell me one thing. Do you guys even talk? Or she doesn't even acknowledge you? Huh, what a waste." Before I knew it Mehul had punched me hard enough to make me bleed. "Stop it" Pritisha screamed. She started weeping. "Oh, here it goes again. 'Why is this happening to me? Why is everyone like this? Why do bad things happen only to me'. Grow up P.D. Everything around you begins from you. If bad things are happening around you then it's probably because of you." Pritisha slapped me right across my face. She fell to her knees and started sobbing. "That's it. Swapnil I really believe you should go. If you don't want to be in touch with us trust me we won't. Do as you want. But for now just leave." Pranjal spoke after being quite for so long. "Well see you guys never. I must say it was a good riddance." "Leave I said." Pranjal shouted at the top of his voice. I turned around and started to walk away with tears in my eyes.

When i entered my home mom and dad were getting up from the dining table. "Where were you?" Dad asked. "Out with a few friends" "listen just because your exams are over doesn't mean you have all freedom you need. There are a few boundaries you need to follow." "Please don't get started again" i said to my mom. "That's not how you will talk to your mom, understand?" My dad scolded. "Yeah i know. Anyways i am going to sleep." "What about dinner?" "I don't feel like it." "Oh is it? Lstn do one thing from the next time when you don't feel like it inform me in advance." My mom  said. "There won't be a next time." I said with a sad smile on my face. " there better not be." Mom said.

I went into my room and started tidying everything up. "Can i come in?" It was dad on my door. "Since when did you start coming in into my room? Anyways it's your house afterall, do as you wish." "Did something happen? Like anything with your friends? Or what was her name? Something 'klaa' or..." "It's Aakriti dad and no there is nothing like that." "You sure?" "Yes dad!" "You know you can tell me about these things." "What will i say if there is nothing to be said?" "Just be carefull don't do anything stupid. Well honestly you are smart enough to not do anything stupid enough to hurt your mom, right?" "Yeah" i said with a low tone. Was I? Was i really smart enough not to do something stupid? Well the last year didn't do anything to support my dad's belief. I lied down on my bed. 'Are you sure you want to do this?' I asked myself. As i was about to spiral into this train of thoughts i saw the lights switch out in the hall. I took my phone and set a timer for half an hour. When the time came i went into my parents room took a last look at my mom. 'You know, she is going to miss you' i was again about to talk myself out of my decision. 'It's not about just her.' I reassured myself. I opened the door and left. I can't face anyone right now. I leaped over the main gate. I walked for half an hour. Then i reached my destination. I could hear the water gushing down. A fall from here would be brutal. 'That's the idea afterall' i climbed up on the ledge of the bridge. This is the moment when your journey comes to an end. I really don't have any opinion on heaven or hell but in some time the answer would be in front of me. I was about to jump when my phone buzzed. 'Check it' my mind said. 'Maybe it's someone who cares?' My thoughts tried to hold me back from the dive. 'Its probably the company.' I explained myself. Afterall who would text me after all i said to them and how i behaved with them. 'Check it.'. I unlocked my phone. 'You have a new message' the text popped up on my screen. It was Pritisha. 'What does she want? Probably telling me how i hurt her.' I put my phone in my pocket. 'Ok, lets do it' i prepared myself. '1 2 3 and...' i climbed down the ledge. 'Lets just see what she is saying.' I again unlocked my phone. I tapped the text to open it...
