The End?

Part IV

So what really happened to Rita & Zeyan in the end. Spending nights drowned in tears and sniffles, neither of them realised the consequence put down by past in their path of future. An incident that brought them together for a day became the reason for another drought, the worst of all, that seemed to go till eternity.

Some scandalous people had opted to disturb a few good ones, and she being one of the victims. He never understood that situations often squeeze out the worst face of people and more often than always they are not the way they temporarily portray. She blames him of all the recent tragedies she faced the the immediate past. And He never gave a thought to patience, eventually ending up going far-far away.

A month later, she turned 17. He had lots of plans and presumed everything would be as kiss-and-make-up on her birthday. Alas! He never saw her, She din't even pick his call. He spent the entire day calling, even spending a few hours near her apartment; yet He never saw his 'life'.
If not for his new friend, a girl, He would have been shattered and blown away completely. They were just friends, she had tried and succeeded in keeping him same for a couple of months. He turned 18, on receiving no word from Her, He was close to insanity, yet The Friend kept him company. Months later The Friend realised that she was in love with him. But it was too late. Somehow, He had succeeded in breaking the ice and had started conversations again, conservatively. Somehow the talk of forgotten birthdays were too sensitive to touch and She evaded them successfully. She had objections with his friendship with Friend. He couldn't get a thing out of this new behavior. Both of them neither were his girlfriend, nor was He their husband, yet both of them tried to keep Him to oneself. The Friend let him go for the sake of the lost love. With him although she din't get the love she deserved, yet she received ample friendship which she needed to make her move forward from her past. With The Friend gone, He belonged to Her. But She hadn't yet gained the success, for which she had broken all her chains that tied her to Him and gone AWOL. She decided to go out again, leaving him stranded at world's end. She dint want all those tears again, the things said again. She wasn't sure she could bear them this time, like she had 2 years ago.

She came out with flying rainbows. People pat her back with appreciation and she cherished it with all her heart. He seemed to have been totally gone out of her head. While she cherished for herself, he cried for himself, laughed at the turnaround of fate. Yes, the coin flipped after 2 years, this time He was present at the receiving end of the blow. She got admitted into a college, while he stayed a simple +2 pass out.

Two years ago, she was the one who suffered but had the chance to give it back to the stone while this time He had faced the hammer and had nit been given a chance at trial. Who had been the unluckiest ?
She went miles away from Him, quite literally. And He just gave up. This wasn't hate or apathy. He just gave up and tried to give himself another chance. but the hangover of the past kept him intoxicated to the ground.

He was far away but the sky wasn't, the moon wasn't; she could always see them. She looked up at the open sky, a rare night on rainy days. She could see him in the moon. After a long time she cried. There was an old picture of them standing together, he looked so adorable, so cute. And why not, He was her baby. A smile escaped her lips at this thought. Looking up, surrendering to fate, she saw 2 stars twinkling together yet being far away from each other, but their spark never failed. He was up on the roof with her face digitally pinned in his phone, tears on his eyes commemorating the old memories, looking at the same couple of stars.
