Dhruva

Dhruva steps out of the hospital in a daze. He never knew Ridhi hated him so much. Okay, maybe he knew... but today was too much to take! Today his heart is in pieces! Why does she hate him so much?

The wetness in the corner of his eyes-- tears? Why again!! He never cried, not even when he starved on the streets as an orphan.

Those memories are a blur

Those memories are a blur. But there was pain. There has always been. But he's used to it. Or so he thought.

And pain has been an everyday part of his life ever since he began training Martial Arts. This crushing feeling, is it because his heart hasn't hardened as much as his body did?

A hand on his shoulder jostles him out of his thoughts. Akku! Quickly plastering a smile on his face, he turns to his friend.

"How can she find fault with you!" Akash spits out in anger-- "How can she be like this when you grew up together? Humans tend to be kind even towards strangers-- but that vile woman--"

"Enough, Akku!"

Dhruva cuts off whatever his friend is about to say. For some reason he just can't let anyone insult Ridhi.

Well, women are meant to be respected but he shouldn't have snapped at Akku. He takes a deep breath to speak in a low voice.

"It's not good manners to badmouth somebody, Akku. Ridhi might be having a bad day. That's all!"

 That's all!"
