Chapter 191 - The Shadow of the Past

Academy ki light dhimi thi aur bahar halki baarish ho rahi thi. Sufiyan aur Suhaliya milkar naye equipment set kar rahe the, tabhi Ritika wahan pahunchi. Uske haath mein wahi 5th class wali purani drawing thi. "Sufiyan, dekho mujhe kya mila! Hamari purani yaadein," Ritika ne utsaah (excitement) mein kaha aur Sufiyan ka hath pakad liya. Suhaliya ne dekha ki kaise Sufiyan ka dhyaan bhatak gaya tha. Usne mehsoos kiya ki Ritika sirf ek dost nahi, balki Sufiyan ke dil ka wo hissa hai jahan uski (Suhaliya ki) koi jagah nahi. Suhaliya ne bina kuch kahe apna bag uthaya. Sufiyan ne usey rokne ki koshish ki, lekin Ritika ne uska hath aur kas kar pakad liya, "Sufiyan, mujhe darr lag raha hai, tum kahin mat jao." Wo ek pal ka bhatkaav Suhaliya ke dil par khanjar ki tarah laga.
