There was hustle bustle in the cafe customers where coming and going. Fresh smell of coffee and snack was brewing in the air.
There sat a girl neglecting the chaos from around and engrossed in her laptop sipping the cup of coffee. As the presentation ended a satisfying smile grazed on her lips.
She closed the laptop and sipped the last sips of coffee and stood up from the payment. She did the payment but when she was about to turn she bumped into somebody.
" Oh I am so sorry " She said in instance.
" Oh Its all....wait manyata ?"the girl asked.
Fear gripped up how did the girl know her ? Was she somebody she knows?
" Manyata I am swara your classmate from BNC collage you remember me? " she asked overjoyed.
Manyata sighed sweatbeads forming on her forehead. Her hands started shivering a bit and palms became sweaty.
" hey manyata...where are you lost come sit with me let's chat! " swara enthusiastically grabbed manyata's sweaty palm and made her sit on a table.
" listen...there is a fab plan guess what ? " swara asked her. Manyata was shocked as she didnt remember anything from the past so she asked.
" Wha-What....guess " manyata asked gulping in fear.
" aree...reunioun there is reunioun plan....of our collage some of us have planned it" swara said and removed a card from her bag.
She wrote my name and handed over to manyata. "This is the card venue , timing , and date is written on it "
Manyata took the white colored card with shivering hands the words ' class reunion' mocking her.
The mocking comments the videos the chats everything started romaing in her mind.
Her body started trmbling.
" manyata...manyata are u listening " swara asked.
" sw-swara I have an impo-important work will meet you later" manyata said and quickly picked her belongings and left the cafe abruptly.
Her breathings uneven hands trembling she quickly catched a auto and went to her house. The past was swirling in her mind again and again.
She opened her flat and land herself on the bed and started crying miserably minutes turned into hours soon the bell of her flat rang.
She like that only went and opened the door a girl with long jacket and top tucked in jeans and loose jeans and hair left open she looked shocked.
" mera baccha....manu kya hua " the girl wrapped her arms around her and closed the door behind her and cooed her.
" kya hua ? Kya hua manu---manyata " the girl soothingly patted her back.
" Inu Di...co-collage....re-reunioun" manyata said in between her sobs.
Inaya sighed. She was manyata's elder sister just 2 years elder but very close to manyata she knew everything about her past and she never lied to her.
Inaya gently took her by shoulders and made her sit on the living room sofa.
"Sun....why are you panicking so much why are you not facing your past demons manu ?"
" Di....I-I cant I have already came a long way I dont wanna face that again....please"
" Manyata you have not came a long way you have ran a long way.....and this past is still chasing you like a nightmare "
" Nightmare...yeah they gave it to me....then wh-why are you telling me to go back? "
" Just to face it clear the misunderstanding you have cut your ties with your childhood friends manu....childhood friends krish and khushi what about them? five years... you were away from them your peace your smile only they could bring it to you....but due to such stupid people you have tarnished your happiness manu...you need to overcome it"
" where were they....hunh? Where was krish he vowed me to protect like a sister but where was he at that time khushi my lifetime buddy she also never asked why ? and you are telling me to go back?......I-I cant di I cant please all will be there "
Inaya grabbed manyata's phone and typed something in it and told.
" this is my friend ACP Aditya's no. This is emergency helpline no. for women and my no. toh you know right? "
" Di why are you giving me this all no. I have it already...."
" Because I want you to go manu go show them that you are not afraid If you will hide they will find and mock you bully you keep hiding they keep finding....go and face them and if situation turns out of control call helpine no. Aditya's no. or my no."
Manyata thought for a while unknowingly unintentionally she did what they wanted she pleased that people who did that to her. No she will never let that happen.
" I'll go di I will face my past demons....they-they will not do anything to me they cannot harm me not now "
Inaya hugged her and gently patted her back and she felt manyata's body relaxing a bit.
Inaya just hopped for the better future of manyata. Her condition in the past was so vulnerable and overwhelming that inaya couldnt take it at all.
