Chapter 18:- Memories always stay together.

In the last, He says to me that " Goodbye and I hope we will meet soon"

After telling him that I go a little distance and shout "I'm coming Raj" Because I know him. If I don't give him a reply he will shout my name again and again.

If I take a long time after telling him that I'm coming he will surely start searching for me. So before he came here I told Aarav 'Goodbye'.

I told him that 'we will meet soon' but I'm not sure if we will meet or not. But his reply that I hope we will meet soon makes me think that he really hopes that we meet again. I pray that his hope will come true. He is not a bad guy but he gets angry too easily.

I want to look at him one more time before leaving that place completely because I don't know if in the future we will talk or not. We will meet or not so without thinking much. I looked at him and smiled. He is still looking at me and he also smiled. I'm not sure from how much time he was looking at me. I shouted to tell my brother that I'm coming because of my shouting. He looked at me or he might have looked at me now. I left the place.

So many thoughts I have in my mind right now.

I reached the room where Raj and my other cousins were already seated.

He asked me the first question that " Hey are you okay? And where were you? "

I answered him that " I'm okay now and I was in another room of the house"

I don't want to tell him that I was with Aarav because that will raise many questions for both of us and right now I'm not in the mood to answer any questions of him or my other siblings. So I didn't take Aarav's name.

I answered him and sat with them and we started talking about how much we enjoyed together and it's great memories for all of us that were created in Meera's wedding.

For me it's really a good escape from my busy study schedule and I enjoyed the wedding of Meera with siblings.

After a few minutes Aarav comes here where we all are seated and takes a seat beside my cousin's brother or I can say Meera's real brother Dhruv.

I'm glad that he didn't come with me here and also didn't come soon after me or else again the same thing would happen that my siblings would start asking if you both were together or not. So I am relaxed that no one is going to ask any questions. I hope that he doesn't tell them that we both were together or else situations for me will become awkward.

As he takes his place I give him a smile and he gives me a smile in return and then I look in a different direction so that no one notices me doing this.

I asked them," Is there any news from Meera ?" They say that 'Meera's mother talked with her and she reached her in-law's house safely with them and she is going to be busy in rituals which perform after marriage'. So RightNow it's good not to call Meera because I don't want that because of me she gets disturbed.

Dhruv starts the conversation with Aarav and tells us that " Aarav speaks less but He is an amazing singer and brilliant engineer."

Aarav feels little shy and says " Thanks Dhruv for your compliment"

After listening Dhruv Raj also said that "You're a really amazing singer. You have the ability to connect with the live audience. Audience can feel your emotions while listening to your songs. You must do live shows more."

Aarav says that " Thank you so much Raj. I had given a performance on the stage during my school and in my college function also I did a live performance."

Then Neha said, "That's good and you should start giving live performances apart from your college function also".

Aarav says that, " I didn't think about that, right now I want to get my Engineering degree so my all focus is on my college."

When he says that I want to tell him that there is no need to hurry to decide anything right now he should focus on his engineering and when he gets a degree after that he can focus only on music as a career. But I didn't tell him anything because we're surrounded by people. So I control myself to tell him anything.

Everyone praised his singing, so did I again praise his singing and then we got busy talking about the other things.

We all got busy talking and I saw that Aarav was silent. He is just listening to everyone. I think that it was good that he came to meet me so I don't have any bad memories about him and especially about Meera's wedding. I don't want any bad memories of Meera's wedding. Memories always stay together and especially if it's related to anything specific in life so Meera is wedding memories going to stay with me so I'm glad that I will go back to my routine life with all happy and good memories to cheer myself up.

Then we got busy seeing photos and videos of us which we had clicked these days on different mobiles. Everyone has some function of photos and videos so we decided that we will make a group of all of us and add Meera also so all can get their videos and photos.

Aarav is also going to become part of this group because my other cousin has his singing video. So a group is made on the What's app for sharing photos and videos.

When we are doing all these, my mother calls us for dinner and I do not have that much hunger but I don't want to wake up at night because of hunger so I decide to eat a little.

Most of the relatives are gone after the marriage and only the close relatives are now at home. We all do dinner together.

It's 9:30 p.m now and everyone feels exhausted so we decide to sleep early. So we all get separated and everyone goes where they were sleeping from the last few days. When I reach the room I feel too exhausted. I still take a bath and wear a simple t-shirt and pajama ,my all-time favourite comfortable clothes ,so I can get proper sleep. After doing all this when I finally lay down on the bed then I get my sleep.
