That Night with Mrs ‘R’ (PART 5)

Akash wasn’t in the bed, my eyes searched the entire room, but he was nowhere to be found. I got a little scared, I called out for his name, but received no answer, I got a more scared.
Where could have he gone?
This was the only question buzzing in my mind. I immediately picked up my cell phone and dialled his number, but it was switched off! Now I was scared, evil thoughts started to pass through my mind. Where could have he gone? Why is his cell phone switched off? Why didn’t he tell me before going? All these questions buzzing constantly in mind. I was busy searching for possible answers when suddenly, some one knocked on the door. “It must be Akash ”, I said to myself and rushed to open the door, but it wasn’t him, he was just a room service guy. “Good Morning Madam” he said to me, I replied in the same way. “All set to check out?” he asked me. I was a bit confused. “Amm actually my friend Akash has gone out somewhere, We’ll check out when he’s here”, I replied.

The waiter gave me an astonished look and said “Ma’am Sir, toh subaah hi nikal gaye the, unhone kaha tha ki 11 bje Madam ko utha dena aur room clear karwa dena”. These words shook me, I didn’t know how to react and what to comprehend from the situation. I was completely dumbstruck. “I’ll be at the reception in 20 minutes”, I said to the waiter and closed the door. Now I was seriously scared. Quickly I left the hotel and took an auto straight to the office and rushed inside to the reception.

“Tracy, Has Akash come to the office?” I asked our receptionist, Tracy.

“Well how come you don’t know this?” she asked me in a very surprised and astonished tone.

“Please don’t twist things up, tell me what’s going on?” I replied back.

“Akash had applied for a transfer to the Sydney head office, ab tak toh woh flight bhi board kar chukka hoga, you’re sure you didn’t know this ”.

I was shocked and completely broken, I had realised the fact that Akash had juust used me and main uske liye sirf ek khilauna thi. The world was almost to an end for me. That was the most depressing moment of my life. I walked out of the office completely shattered. I couldn’t resent myself from bursting into tears. How could he do this to me? was the only thing in my mind. I walked towards my home. I had planned that I’ll leave Delhi and go somewhere, somewhere, where I completely forget Akash, It wasn’t going to be easy but it was the only option left. BUT this wasn’t how life had planned itself for me.

I reached home and as soon as I opened the door…..
