After dropping Nehmat, I straight went to home. What I saw was strange. I saw Mr Advik Mehra staring at something. What was he staring at the entrance? In my thought there is an old basement there where none of us has went. I was about to leave when he called me.

'Yuvraj Beta! Come I want to show you something.' He said in a very low voice.

'I don't want to--' I tried to say.

'Okay. Okay. But please keep your dairy updated. It's been a while.' My father told me in urgency. His face looked tired and afraid.

'Okay. I'll do it.' I said and walked away.

I changed my clothes and went to bed. Not able to sleep. I keep thinking about Nehmat. I'm going insane. Even taking her name makes me blush. Her name feels like peace.

They say love drives you insane. I have uttered so many words in my mind that I want to tell her, but have never got that strength. I'll tell her soon. Very soon. I also have to tell her about my condition.

Yuvraj went to sleep after that. At the midnight, he had this weird night terror. He was blabbering something. Like 'I can't live without her please--' 'No. No. No.' 'Don't take her away from me.'

By listening the voice of Yuvraj his father came and tried to console him. Which really helped. He slept on his father's lap for the first time. His father's eyes were filled with tears. Because he never knew the reason of why his son hates him so much. Why does he never comes close to him.

He is relieved and happy too. Because he got to spend some time with his son. Even though he's asleep.

His father went to his room, before Yuvraj woke up.

I got message from an unknown number this morning. That says 'I'm coming today!' The last message came like 10-15 years ago. Than I understand who it was.

I got ready and was searching for Rahi. And I finally found her.

'Ask the event organizer to do arrangements for welcome party.' I told Rahi in hurry.

'Bhaiya? Event organizer?' She said in shock.

'Yeah. Why?' I said

'Did you had any fight with Nehmat? Why are you talking like this?' She said in hurry.

'Nehmat--' I tried to say. 'Who's Nehmat?'

'Did you take your medicines?' She asked immediately.

'Of course I didn't.' I said. 'I mean I'll take it.'

'Why are you acting so weird Bhaiya? Is everything okay?' She asked in tensed voice.

I nodded and walked away.

I'm not okay. I don't know what's happening to me. Why did I forget Nehmat? I just don't understand. What is the advantage of this life if I can't remember Nehmat?

I erased that thought from my mind and went to buy some presents for my friend. The party was at evening. I didn't went home before that. I wanted to figure out what is wrong with me. So I locked the doors, turned off the lights and started thinking. No one was there. Pure silence. That's what I love.

After few hours, I went airport to pick up my friend. There was a girl with her too. I think I have seen her somewhere or sometime. I didn't ask directly. I waited to reach home first.

'Hey Yuvraj! How are you? It's been a long time. You've changed so much!' Said Kevin.

Kevin is my childhood friend. Me, Kevin and Inayat used to be bestest friend. But then they both just disappeared without saying anything. I can't explain how it killed me from inside. Every. Single. Day.

'Hey! Kevin. I'm good. What about you?' I answered with a smile.

While I didn't wanted to smile. I directly wanted to ask him why the hell did they just disappeared.

'Always better.' He answered with a wink.

'Who is this girl?' I asked her surprisingly.

'She is Inayat.' He said.

'She isn't Inayat.' I said. My voice turned heavy. 'Stop kidding me.'

'She is!' Kevin replied.

'But I don't believe him.' I told myself. He's lying. So I walked away immediately to a room where I can be alone.

The room was dark. But I heard some voice. My breath turned fast. There was someone in this room. There was a noise of anklet continuously. The dark brown eyes shining brightly in the dark room.

'Nehmat' the word suddenly slipped from my mouth. But if she is Nehmat why she is not coming out.

'Nehmat!' I yelled this time. The voice of anklet stopped. 'Are you playing with me?'

'Find me if you can!' The voice came from somewhere. Her voice is like her only. Soft and soothing.

'And what if I found you?' I said in return mischievously. While walking and trying to find her.

'Whatever you want!' She yelled this time.

I started following the voice of her anklet. The room was full of old table and curtains. Some old paintings. Some bookshelves. But the weird thing was the bookshelf had only one book. And rest were the papers only.

I was trying to open one of the cupboards and got hurt. 'Ahhhh' I yelled. And the voice of anklet came towards me, which formed a smile to my face.

She finally came. In a white gown. Looking like an angel that have came on earth for me. Just for me. As she comes near me my breath increases. My heart stops beating whenever I see her. Why does this happens?

She came and took my hand into hers. She started looking at me, searching if I got hurt anywhere. While I was just standing still and smiling.

'Have you lost it? You're injured and still smiling.' She yelled this time.

I was still lost in her dark brown eyes.
