I wiped my tears and started to console him“ Hey Raghav, it ‟ s not that bad you see, we all go through rough patches. Maybe god is testing----”. He interrupted me and said“ tell me Taani, do you love somebody?”. I hesitated and thought about Kabir.“ Yes, I do love somebody.” I said feebly.
“ Then promise me you will love him forever and never play with his feelings. Wait, he is a „ he ‟ isn ‟ t he. I mean you are not into girls or something right?”, he said with a hint of laughter to his voice.“ Yes he ‟ s a „ he ‟, his name is Kabir and I promise I ‟ ll love him forever. Now can you please get off the roof?”, I pleaded.“ You seem nice Taani; we could be friends you know. We should meet for coffee someday”, he said.“ Yes coffee sounds great. We can go to barista. You can meet Kabir.”, I said elated at the thought that maybe Raghav had pushed off the idea of suicide.“ Well I sure do hope there is a Barista in heaven. I ‟ ll see you on the other side Taani partner” were his last words and the phone was cut off with a beep.
I was brought to the present as my phone vibrated. I picked it up to see that I had a message from Kabir. I decided to call him to make everything all right. Well after all I had a promise to keep.
