She stopped in her tracks and frowned. She looked back towards the gate and froze.
                              
It was him.
                              
Rishabh!
                              
What was he doing here?
                              
She saw him walking inside the graveyard holding flowers in his hands and she slowly took back her steps towards the gate.
                              
Her hands were trembling and her heart is thumping loudly in her chest.
                              
She stood little a far from him and watched him putting flowers on each tombstone.
                              
Her breath hitched when she saw him placing lillies on her mother's grave and he had a grim look on his face.
                              
" Hi everyone." She heard him say and walked a little more towards him to hear him clearly.
                              
" It's me Rishabh again. I didn't get to meet you all on that day as I was too shocked of your daughter's revealings." He said and chuckled sadly.
                              
" Sorry, I keep coming back to vent out my sob 온라인카지노게임 to you all.....I hope you don't mind because I d..don't have anyone else to share and you people are my favourite as you all listen to me everytime." He said smiling at the graves.
                              
Aadhya felt her throat clogged and she looked at him in disbelief.
                              
He has been coming to her family to meet and talk to them. She realised at that time that he was the one who offers flowers to them everytime which she sees them on the graves.
                              
" I am sorry." She heard his whisper and looked at him who was looking down ashamed.
                              
" I am Sorry everyone.....I...I....couldn't keep your daughter happy. She is going away. She is leaving me again. She is leaving us again." He said looking down and tears fell from his eyes.
                              
" I know I keep saying sorry to you all everytime because I have hurted her back then but today I am saying sorry because I couldn't keep my promise to you all. I have asked to give her back to me from you and promised that I will keep her happy and I will never let go of her again. You gave her back but she is leaving today again and I can't stop her." Rishabh said holding his head in his hands frustrated and groaned loudly in pain at the end.
                              
He looked so pained that she stopped a sob that escaped from mouth with her fist.
                              
" Dad was blaming himself for her leaving but he doesn't know that she is leaving because of me. I didn't understand her reason of leaving because even if she leaves I will be destroyed and devastated. I tried explaining it to her but she is too stubborn to hear me out." He exhaled loudly and bit his lip to stop himself from crying.
                              
" Atleast dad got to be on her side in her toughest times to help her but I..I didn't do anything for her till today and instead gave her more pain. Maybe I don't deserve her, maybe I deserve this pain.....maybe she is better off without me......" His voice cracked indicating that he was crying and Aadhya was crying too.
                              
" But I...I can't live without her and I can't even imagine my life without her and Aman in it. I want to stop them from leaving but don't know how. I love her.....I love her so much that it hurts me to think of living without her in my life." He cried making her cry even more.
                              
" You all must be thinking I am such a cry baby because everytime I come here, I end up crying." He said and laughed at himself with tears.
                              
Aadhya was shocked to see him like this and he looked exactly the same as her when her family was dead.
                              
Something snapped inside her looking at him so broken, so defeated and so destroyed.
                              
She was responsible for this.
                              
She clenched her fists to stop herself from going to him and hug him tightly.
                              
He sat there calmly for sometime and stood up shaking his head sighing loudly.
                              
" Enough of my pathetic life. I just came here to tell you all that even if she will be not here, her heart will always be here.....with you all in the same way you all are with her in her heart. Please be with them and give them your blessings." He said smiling at the graves.
                              
Aadhya was looking at him in awe.
                              
" And don't think that you all will get rid of me. I assure you that you all are stuck with me. I will keep coming back to vent out my sob stories." He said smirking at the graves.
                              
Wow!
                              
It was the only thing she felt at the moment.
                              
" Bye everyone." He said and started walking out.
                              
Aadhya stood behind a tree quickly and kept her eyes his retreating back.
                              
She looked at him with adoration filled in her eyes.
                              
What this person is made of?
                              
She was stunned with the reveletions.
                              
When she came here, she didn't expect any of this to happen.
                              
Firstly, she was stunned that he made efforts to meet her family.
                              
Secondly, her heart felt warmth that he has been coming here in her absence to meet her family.
                              
Thirdly, she was surprised that he remembered that her mother favourite flowers are lillies.
                              
Fourthly, her heart broke that he was asking for forgiveness from family for the mistake he hasn't done.
                              
Fifthly, her heart did a back flip that he had promised her family that he would take care of her and Aman and never let them go.
                              
Sixthly, she was in awe that he spoke to her family with such an ease like he knows them from ages.
                              
She doesn't have the count of emotions she is feeling at the moment.
                              
It was like she felt alive again.
                              
It was like a bubble of hope and happiness arose in her heart.
                              
It was like some weight has been lifted off her chest.
                              
And at lastly, she can't help but feel funny that he literally smirked at the graves of her family.
                              
She looked at her family smiling for the first in the past one year because whenever she comes here and look at them she had only cried.
                              
A gush of wind passed through her making her smile wide and close her eyes.
                              
When she opened her eyes, she saw a ray of hope.
                              
She felt as if they are giving her their blessings.
                              
She smiled at the vibes she was getting and at the new energy she got from her family.
                              
She thanked them for being with her.
                              
She took one last glance at her family and turned around to begin a new life.
                              
She came outside and saw an empty road. 
                              
He was no where to be seen.
                              
He left feeling shattered and defeated. She knows she is the cause of it but she couldn't help it.
                              
She knows what she was doing and why she was doing.
                              
It may look absurd to others but only she knows the consequences. She may look heartless but no one knows the heartache behind all her actions.
                              
She composed herself and went back to her house.
                              
She went home with a new determination and new hope of starting a new life.
