Tragedia

It was a few weeks before they started dating and Rehasya, a professional photographer, would be spotted at every match with Vysana and had become the hot topic for nationwide discussion. She would snap breathtaking pictures of Vysana and would run out on the field to hug him after every win of his team. They would spend the evenings by the Sea Link, Bandstand and Bandra, just to name a few places. Rehasya had never felt this way before and she was critically acclaimed as Vysana’s lady luck. They had become the cynosure of all eyes and were deemed a ‘Super Couple’ as their relationship lasted a steady two years. 

Everything seemed to be picture perfect until Rehasya’s twenty third birth day.

An impending sense of doom gripped Rehasya as she woke up and Vysana was nowhere to be seen. She jumped out of bed and checked the kitchen, bathroom and drawing room but he wasn’t there either. She grabbed her car keys and drove to his flat. But the door was locked. Hot tears raced their way down to her cheeks. She tried calling him but the line said busy. She called his friends and none of them could answer her. Finally, giving up hope, she decided to drive back home and get some sleep. 

A truck came out of a blind alley and struck her.
