“I’ll tell you my part of the play first” He said and started, “The rumor you started hit our entire class in no time, it kept passing on, People were talking behind our back but we didn’t understand why till it came to our own ears. It was difficult to trace who the source was. As days passed people started developing the rumor and took it to a whole new level. We both were in love, You and other classmates knew only till this, But you didn’t know our parents knew about us being together, Generally, no parent would accept when their child comes and says to them that they are in love. But our parents were different, they did not look at the society, they looked at our happiness. But of course they also told us that we were too small to decide who our life partner should be, they asked us to live apart from each other for a while until we both got to that age where we could decide about our life partners, If after so many years of living apart we were still in love wit...

I might have been dreaming, I hoped I was, But I was not. They were actually walking towards me. I didn’t know how to react, I couldn’t believe my eyes, all my life since my school, The people who were dead in my memory were, In fact, alive and now they are walking towards me. My entire Past hit me in a flash of a second. They came close to my seat, I didn’t take my eyes off them, they came near me, and they were too looking me in the eye. Only thing was that I was Surprised seeing them but they were Not so Surprised. When they sat down, I pointed my index finger to one of them and asked in fear, “You. You… Were Dead, How…? How is this possible?” My friend Replied, “Relax, Kunal I’ll explain everything, Sit down” I was in shock, I sat down. He smiled at me and started, “Kunal, before I start I want you to know that we are very much alive and we are sorry for what you’ve been through, everything you’ve been through till now was a part of our plan. We wanted to teach you so...

The cultural act sure spread across the college, I became really famous, Everyone congratulated me for what I did back there, But all this appreciation did not affect me at all, Every bit of appreciation was backed by Kriti’s past. I started missing Kriti more than ever, I stayed away from my friends, Preethi called me 5-6 times a day to make sure I was ok. But I ignored her texts and calls. I was depressed, I Didn’t go to college for a few days after the cultural, My parents didn’t ask me why, they never did. I decided to go for a walk hoping it would relieve me, I wore my grey hood sweater and black track pants and went out. It was about 2 in the afternoon, while I was walking I saw few kids running around here and there, they were happy, They didn’t know much about Life, Or maybe they just didn’t care, They were living their life just right,  My mind started thinking, “What if we could be a kid all the time, No money, No worries, No Pressures,...
