All Chapters of A Mistake that changed my Life: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Our business expanded well, which gave Kartik a huge name and fame. My smart work astonished him a lot. Since school life, he admired me for my impressive performance. It’s unfair for a fish to compete with a rabbit in a race and it was same for Nisha. Her fear of failure made her struggle to step ahead. It made her out of sight in business. Riya became her biggest enemy, because she was doing much better than her. All compliments and special treatments were for Riya. Being a business partner, I had to do stuff which was required from my end to appreciate her. It made Nisha an arrogant lady. She used to ignite in a second whenever she found me praising Riya. It became difficult for me to manage my love and professional life. I used to think how my cool friends manage 3-4 girlfriends at a time. It was tough to manage even one girlfriend. Those days, Riya was busy from morning to night because of a symposium in her college, so we used to talk after 10 p

The love and care for my sister made every small thing related to her engagement, very important. Till night, we kept everything in its place safe, well enough to make it a lavish engagement. After going to bed, I imagined every minor cut of my sweetheart’s body while they operated her. Every time I imagined her cuts and it gave me goosebumps. Only by thinking about an operation, my mind got a severe headache. I compared my mental pain with her physical pain and got to know what she was going through. It was the longest night of my life. The toughest and deadliest. I worried about how she will face everything. She is so innocent how she will bear such pain. She had never gone through a simple stitch in her life and suddenly such an extensive surgery. I drowned and my mind was overflowing with pain. I sensed my sweetheart screaming in hospital. My heart was in my mouth. Whole night I waited for our clock to knock five. Wide-awake entire night, I got up

I met Ankit and narrated every word with wet eyes and lump throat. He confronted me with his valuable suggestions and advised me to wait for the next day. He reminded me of my exams also and tried to bring my attention towards it. But I couldn’t study by carrying such an enormous burden. I filled my mind with negative thoughts of destroying two lives. Sleep was miles away from my wet eyes. A titanic battle of thoughts made my mind heavily loaded with sorrow. I don’t know how Nisha and Riya misspent their night. I twisted and turned my body whole night till Kartik called early morning.Our first paper was of Accountancy, which was our major, subject and he had prepared some important topics after studying the entire night. He suggested some important questions to prepare, only after listening to a hello from my side. I informed him everything about my last night and he became speechless. It baffled him when he got to know how badly I left studying and

23rd April 2016. I woke up early at five and got stuck in arranging all stuff. It was the day we waited for a long time. My sister’s marriage. From early morning we shifted things from one place to another, people walking around complaining about things not getting. Busy bathroom created tremendous pressure on everyone’s stomach. It was a chaos in our house, which we loved it a lot.From early morning, I tried to hide my smile, which pressed my lips together. Aunty had told she will send Nisha at noon and they will join in evening. So, I stared at our wall clock every time. I wished for her comeback in my life. I had decided to apologize once again by going on knees. I knew we were no more in a relationship, but she never told that in words. There was a slight chance of getting back my Dilpari in my life. It was around noon when my mind expected a call from someone special and my mobile vibrated in my pocket. A name flashed o

Nisha was recovering well. Her wounds healed faster than before. Her figure became more perfect as she gained some weight. Apart from medicine, it was my love which helped her in healing. From happiness of getting Nisha back in life to a sadness of winding up of our business, my life switched to a different track. It was my only hope to fulfill all our dreams. Some crap happened in it and my life took a new turn. I was blank for a while, when Ankit informed me everything. Because of some disputes in management, we had to close our business. I had dreamt my future with it. I had never imagined myself doing something else. I couldn’t change my direction to a different path. It was tough for me to digest a harsh fact about it, which was no more. Life always remained unfair whenever I tried to enjoy. It pushed me to a tough situation every time. End of our business brought an end of Riya in my life and it was the only positive thing in it. I used to call her once in a
