Known STRANGERS !!


It was a mistake," you said. But the
cruel thing was, it felt like the
mistake was mine, for trusting you.

Here's a story of Aarush and Milli .....
    It was during the higher school days when Aarush ( a fair healthy physic with an average height of 5'7 carrying a cool manly beard with black eyes white shirt blue spykar jeans , a bit nerdy yet unobtrusively good looking) freezes his eyes over an average sized girl having a height of 5'1 a fair toned skin, brown eyes, pale brown wavy hair wearing a red top n a black denim..she was a perfect combo of beauty with brains ,suddenly when the professor said 'Ya Milli you can get in the class' is the moment which made Aarush realized that her name was Milli...
Milli was made to sit on the second last bench of the class ahead of Aarush.
'Bas bhi kar, kitna taadega ladki ko' were the words said by Sanchit who sat besides Aarush and was Aarush's best frnd ..
Things went the same many days... Milli engrossed in studies used to concentrate over the professor and Aarush continued concentrating over Milli.. 
It was Sunday wen Milli post lunch at her home was about to sleep was surprised reading a"hi wassup" message from an unknown number , question to which she got a reply that "Hi I am Aarush :) " ,Milli questioned "From whom did u received my contact number?" Aarush replied " Ur best frnd Preeti gave me your number." and the conversation ended over there as Milli was off to sleep.
The next day during the physic lecture in a private institute, Aarush was eager to expect a warm smile from Milli as according to him he had a chat with Milli which made him thought that things would turn up his side..
Bt to his disappointment Milli didn't gave him a warm smile neither any importance which Aarush was expecting it to happen..
Sanchit , whispered "Bhai baat kar le , Tu start to kar pehle"
To which Aarush replied "Ruk bhai time Dekh k baat karta hu"
as the professor gave a break of 10 mins , most of the students left the classroom to wander in the corridor , Aarush greeted a "Hi" , to which Milli replied "hey hello" , So you comfortable na your friend shared your number with me??- asked Aarush .. Ammm ya its fine m okay with it - replied Milli and they had a healthy conversation of about 10 mins and later on the students started to get in the class and the professor started with the lecture once again..
Things were turning over Aarush's side he was succeeding to gain Milli's trust and eventually they from semi known friends turned to Best friends...
Aarush had a crush over Milli from the first sight itself but he was a bit casanova and over boasting kind of nature, which made him pretend that it might be just a passing affair or an attraction nothing serious to think about...
Milli on the other side also started to like Aarush's company ,as he use to make her laugh , he used to care for her so did she and it went on .. Aarush was indeed a very charming boy he had his values intact with him bt the fact that he is a"Boy" always made him to pretend as if he is a carefree-carelesss persona.. Milli used to love Aarush for his way of expressing love to her...
One fine afternoon Milli received a text over her mobile it was Aarush's msg saying " hi .. I wanna say someting serious to u"  Curiously Milli replied in seconds "wat??" (there were some of expected questions and replies going on in Milli's mind with a wild guess she thought - is he gonna propose me??) and to here instinct , yes.. Aarush replied "I luv u Milli" ...
Milli was frozen for seconds... she didn't knew how to reply.. with a long pause she replied"No Aarush I cnt get into relationships again , I hv had a very bad experience from my past."
Milli during her school days had a serious affair with a guy .. who eventually dumped her up by settling with another gal.. depressed Milli didn't wanted to get into this love and its side effects over n over again...
Aarush being modest tried to convince Milli , he tried to assure Milli that he won't b her bad experience ever .. to which Milli melted and ... ya ... she said a YES...
They had a chat for about 2 hr discussing their hobbies , their favourite destinations and all sort of general talks...
That night when Milli had briefed Aarush about her breakup , she also asked Aarush about his past...
To which Aarush replied 'Yes I too have a past' I too was committed with a gal named Kinjal since our school days.. we both had a very strong bond.. we spent most of our time at kinjal's house (as she had both parents working, and she being a singleton child used to be all alone) further he added that don't worry Milli v broked up now.. she shifted to outskirts of town .. Now v r jst formal friends..
Possessed Milli replied .."hmmm.. and wat if she tried to contact u again :(??"
To which Aarush addressed Milli .. "Don't worry Jaanu , she is my past .. u r my present.  now u r my everything... luv u :* "
A great satisfaction flushed in the veins of Milli making her smile reading that message..
Days passed with such affectionate love... Aarush n Milli's affair was overrated by many guys and gals around as dey seemed to b perfect fo each other... Aarush was indeed a responsible guy towards her gal.. The way he cared fo Milli , the way he was possessive about her was remarkable...
His small small stuffs impressed Milli a lot .. she was deeply in luv wid him and so was Aarush..
And suddenly things started changing...
Milli started noticing something's getting fishy...
Aarush being with Milli used to constantly chat with some1 on the other side...
Milli started noticing this for few days and one fine day she asked ...
Aarush m noticing that u r on chat constantly what's d matter??
To which he replied ..
" Nothing such baby .. I jst wanted to share one thing with u.. Two days before Kinjal texted me.. "
Surprised hearing this Milli shouted "What?? what did she said...??
Aarush replied " Baby nothin jst normal chat , she wants to get into relationship with me again"
"so what did u replied to her" - asked Milli.
"Nothing, I said here that I m into relation with u, stupid" giving a smile he replied..
Milli still unsatisfied agreed and believed what Aarush said..
Days passed and exams were near...
Aarush being an average guy used to hv a struggle with the books..but Milli on the other got through the books and studies very well..
In between all of this ,Milli's bst frnd Preeti and Sneha had a great argument ...
The argument started with not sharing the proper notes to each other.. And eventually it changed topics and crossed few limits....
Both Preeti and Sneha argued to no extent which finally ended up revealing some hidden secrets of each other including Aarush's ... :( :(
Preeti who had lost her temper decided to reveal what ever she had hidden frm Milli without bothering the consequences...
Milli had a text from Preeti " Meet me tomorrow after college , I need to talk something urgent .. dnt let Aarush no that I texted u  , okay ??"
Milli was blank about what had happened as she had only a blur clue that all dis people (preeti , Sneha including Aarush) have had an massive argument..
she being calm replied preeti "Okay dear tk cre"
Milli had a sleepless night.... As the clock turned 8 she left home for college...
Today was the day which turned out a turning point in Milli's life..
Preeti and Milli as decided after college had a halt at the back campus of the college..
Milli with full curiosity started questioning "Wat happened Preeti wats so urgent and important to tell about?? m worried Yarr speak up..  !!"
Preeti being silent for moments.. said.. Milli its something about Aarush..
wat..?? wat about Aarush?? - with a very worried expression asked milli...
He is ditching u Milli... He is not at all serious with u..  said Preeti..
Wat do u mean by that Preeti.. he is your bestfrnd too, you both r like siblings rite?? You urself assured me his innocence when I asked a suggestion about him, didn't u?? replied Milli with tears rolling down here eyes...
Preeti giving her condolence added further .. see Milli what ever I m going to say you today is as true as my existence and as our friendship.. U have to believe me over this... It tuk me this long to reveal the truth for which m very guilty... M sorry... Preeti taking a pause continued...
Things were like Aarush being in relation with you.. used to have late night chats with me after u went to sleep.. he used to compliment my looks daily .. used to ask me to marry him as we belong to the same caste and many more such stuffs..  But believe me Milli I am innocent in all dis.. I used to always remind him about you.. I used to always stop him from saying all those stuffs... My only mistake is that I should have had told you all this from the day it began.. bt to be true even at a certain moment I thought that Aarush is serious with u so I used to avoid his nonsense talks and use to jst ignore them.. said Preeti
And there stood Milli quite, trying to control here tears , wipping them before rolling down the cheeks in a fear of being noticed , Preeti's words broked Milli's heart into pieces.. she was devastated completely .. she constantly started reminding what Aarush had promised her , about not breaking her heart again...bt the truth was something bitter.. she had a heart break again and this time it was even worse for her to handle as the boy she trusted alot turned out to be flirting with her own best frnd.. added to which Preeti also said that Aarush also used to visit his ex girlfrnd's house and there were lot more stories told...
Milli still wanted to have a talk about this with Aarush bt ,the feeling of being betrayed stopped her from doing so and she decided to just walk away without having any contact with Aarush even once..
Aarush on the other after knowing what Preeti have done .. abused here a lot.. and started calling continuously to Milli...  Bt Milli being hurt didn't bother to reply to any of his calls.. Nor messages...
Bt as said ....  she was deeply in luv with him after a few attempts of pretending to ignore Aarush's calls... Milli finally received his call and said "Aarush I don't want to listen anyting its over now.. u betrayed me.. crying over the phone which was clearly noticeable ... added further I didn't expected this from u... I trusted u... and u broke my trust.. U flirted with my best frnd.. its really sad..
To which Aarush replied.. " trust me its nothing such Preeti is lying..I agree I used to chat with Kinjal , but I never had a meet with her neither did I had any such chats with Preeti " Aarush was also weeping hard on the other side..
But the reason why Milli agreed to decide what Preeti said was truth is the conformance of Sneha, Milli's second most best frnd , she was the witness of have read those chat of Preeti and Aarush..
This incident had a very bad impact on Milli and Aarush also ... 

Today Milli is living a normal life but with no One whom she can trust upon...

Aarush on the other side tried contacting and apologizing to Milli since months which turned to years...
The matter and the anger faded with time..

Till today Milli receives a B'day wish on her every b'day from Aarush ever since they broke.. and still today he wants Milli in his life, waiting for her..  but Milli has lost all the faith and trust over Aarush...

She tried settling with another guy , no doubt he is a gem of a person.. but deep inside Milli agrees a fact that no one could ever replace Aarush's place..
She still cant get rid of Aarush's thoughts , his love, her love towards him.

Today Milli and Aarush are no more then known STRANGERS.. 

Everything in their story now just have a prefix like...

If Aarush would have been true .. v wuld have been happy..
If Milli would hv trusted Aarush .. v would hv been together..
and many more such If's and but's ...

Its not that Milli didn't gave Aarush a second chance...
She did.. they were again into relationship after a span of about 2 years .. but things didn't turned the way they should have had...
Eventually it ended even worse...

There are many such Aarush and Milli's around struggling to forget each other or trying to patch up with each other...

My suggestion would be Always trust whom u Love and Never love whom u doubt !! 
Cz TRUST when once broken is vry hard to build up again..

Being madly in love is Okay... but being blindly in love is not...
No matter Aarush would b guilty for what he have done bt d fact that he betrayed Milli would not cover up things any more...
Therefore I wuld like to say below lines to all of u guys..
There's no such pain as gained by hurting someone and there's no such satisfaction gained by not ditching anyone...
Stay happy Be true...(Inspired by a true incident)

Thank you

  3. The best of your work again :) loved the story line, & how it made me wait till the end to find out the truth of the guy. Keep posting such stories it helps people realise that todays love is just materialistic and only few (out of the moon) guys care for their love.
