Subrat SaurabhAuthor of Kuch Woh PalI was always the scholar types! You can call me the book-worm, the scorer, or the achiever but still, my work was made my last priority by the people around me. Where once my life was full of laughter and friends just a few months later after my wedding I was screaming and banging the walls of my quiet house. Not that my husband Sahil was a bad guy, in fact, he was my support since my graduation days, but our circumstances made us helpless. In that emptiness that encircled me I was just unable to take Akash out of my mind, but why should I have taken him out anyway? He said we will unite again; I had to wait for that day and keep my memories alive till then!
