AN:- Hello everyone! I'm back with chapter 2! Please read and review! I wanna know what you think about it!

Tala's POV

She surprisingly pulled my arm, telling me to come back into the real world. "Yes?" I said. "Tala, let's go back, it's getting cold," she said rubbing her palms. I went downstairs with her and I promised to meet her tomorrow.

I went to the washroom and close my eyes. I felt sad, extremely sad as I remembered how I lost my passion to play a guitar. I wanted to do many concerts, I wanted to be someone whom everyone would remember, someone whom people could love! When I was 14 years old, I got a guitar, my sister, Ruchi gifted it to me. "Tally! Happy Birthday to you!" My elder sister, screamed in joy and handed me a long box. I couldn't hold back my curiosity. I immediately opened it and cried out, "Oh my God! Thank you so much!"

"Ruchi siss, teach me!" I begged her and she showed me the way to hold the guitar and the pick. I learned it soon and by my 17th birthday I was pretty good at it. I had an audition that day. "Sis, where are you, it is raining, please drive soon! You know I cannot give the audition or else!" I spoke loud on my phone.

"Yes Tally, I am driving fast," as she ended speaking in her sweet voice, there was a loud commotion and the phone call got end. Those were the last words I heard from her. She was no more alive. I blame myself for killing her. I shouldn't have told her to drive faster. It was all my mistake.

I never played my guitar after that day and I hated rain and myself too. I did not want to cry, but just naturally some tears escaped from my eyes. I wiped them away immediately. I cried whenever I remembered my Ruchi. She was really an amazing person.

I opened my eyes and I saw Tyson inside. When did he come in? "Hey! Are you okay?" He asked me with concern all over his eyes. I nodded and we headed back to our room. The rest of the day I was just boring and I just stared outside the window. The last bell rang and I felt happy. I packed my stuff and saw Hilary waiting for me outside. "Tala! It's raining even now! I love it!" Hilary screamed like a child. "Quiet. Just enjoy it little by little Hilary, until it kills you," Tyson whispered in his creepy voice.

"Tyson! Don't scare me! You idiot!" Hilary hit him lightly over his head. "Tyson, I think you two should go soon, as it might rain heavier and it's time for my train," I spoke and smiled for one last time and left. I saw Carol following me this time. She said beside me. Thankfully, we got seats!

I naturally turned my head and stared at her. There were few droplets of rain on her beautiful black hair. It look no less than diamonds. "Where do you stay Tala?" Carol asked while typing her phones password. Maybe, she wanted to distract me with her question, so that I wouldn't see her password! No, no, I was thinking too much. I replied, "Mayur Vihar 1 station, Acharya Niketan, there are many flats so..." "And you, where do you live?" I asked bending closer to her ear.

"Noida Sect 15" She murmured putting her phone inside her bag. In her background, I did see her with a guy who was taller than her and handsome too, ugh.. Who's that?

"Rajiv chowk station, the doors will open on the right, please mind the gap," came a voice telling us to get down and we did. I realised one thing, whenever she asked me anything, I remembered something deep. Noida Sect 15, my sister used to work there as a home designer. She kept our home clean, always. Mom used to scold me because I was completely opposite. Yuki I'm sorry I miss you.

"Tala, tell me about yourself more! I don't know anything about you," she spoke looking at the dirty shoes of a random lady. "Umm,.. so my favourite colour is red, my birthday is on 10th October, I love music, I like reading everything except my course books," I spoke and she laughed at the last line. I gestured her to tell about her. "I like black, I love to observe people, I love music too, and I sing sometimes, I love to eat junk! I ... My birthday is on 7th February and I don't open up with people but it's fine sometimes, you know," she spoke it in a way, like she wanted to tell me that I was something special. I pasted everything in my mind, whatever she told.

"Carol! Do you have a crush on anyone?" I asked her randomly, trying my best to be casual but my face was dead serious. "Not yet! I guess, or maybe I'll never have one?" She smiled as my face turned from happy to sad at the last one. "And you?" She smirked in a funny way. "Umm, yeah I have got a crush recently!" I said with pride.

I think I did have a real crush on Carol. It wasn't even a complete day but, I knew that I liked her and that it would take no time for my mind to change it to love. "Hey! Don't fall for me okay?!"She spoke and chatted with someone in WhatsApp. Maybe she creeped out? "Who told, it was you? Anyways,.." I spoke and pretended to do my work. We didn't speak even a single word after that. It was my station and I just left without saying her a goodbye.

I walked and walked till I reached my home. I lived alone, my parents went back to Mumbai after my sister's death. My mom still tells me not to blame myself, but I just cannot do that. I cooked Maggi, ate it, saw some cat videos and slept on my bed. Yeah, a lonely life. I wasn't scared but I just felt sad sometimes. Nothing bad happened when it rained this time, or maybe the secret rejection by Carol?
