Part 7

Rey was shocked to see Swayum outside his house who is leaning over the car and looking at Rey….Looking at Swayum Rey understood that Swayum saw whatever happened….

Rey just stood before him…

*THAPPP*

*THAPP*

For a minute Rey couldn’t understand what happen… Again the stinging pain on his cheek…  he felt taste of blood in his mouth… Rey looked at Swayum…. Both of them eyes are red with unfallen tears… one with anger and pain… one understanding the intensity of his wrong deeds.

“If it was another guy…. I would have burned him alive by now… you proved Rey… you proved that you cannot be friend anymore… the Rey I knew till some days before is dead… For me you have died already…” Swayum said to him….

Rey just stood there in agony… by each passing moment, Rey is realizing the intensity of his nasty deeds… And here Swayum sees Taani as his sister…. So he have the right to explode in this way… Rey looked the way where Swayum just stormed to his car and drove off….

Rey too started to walk with heavy heart… he don’t know where to go…. He walked to a nearby Park and sat there… Just sat there blankly…

Taani was sitting near the window… She is not crying… All the tears in her got dried… She had no emotions in her face… no anger.. no sadness… just nothing….. But she know one thing that she cannot forget or forgive whatever happened…

“Taani..” Kushboo called her…

“Haa… maa…” Taani turned to her mom…

“Atleast chillao mujpe… get angry with me… I cant handle this….” Kushboo said crying….

“Maa.. look at me… see now everything is over… what I want is just get over this… Jo hona tha hogaya…May be all this is written in my destiny… otherwise we could have stopped these incidents… but no… if we couldn’t means… its written this has to happen… And I have one request we will never talk about this topic… promise me maa…” She said forwarding her hand to Khushboo to promise…. She also nodded and put hands…. They both hugged….

*********

Rey didn’t realize its starting to get dark.. He stood up from there and started to walk… He just stopped seeing a beach…. He thought to sit there… he sat on the sand…. The cool breeze was bringing all the thoughts in him… He was lost in thoughts….

********

Swayum also didn’t realize its becoming dark outside… Swayum was just sitting in his room after his meet with Rey. He still cant believe the fact that His friend… who he knows from so long… can do this… Wasn’t I with him him…, why couldn’t he share it with me… can situation change a person like this…. Yes..! the proof is Rey itself….

But I should have met him and talked last night itself…  After lashing out at him….. my anger didn’t let me meet Rey… if I have talked to Rey last night itself…, may be he wouldn’t have taken this wrong step… So its my fault to… I know how my BFF is… when he is in anger… Rey don’t know what he say or doin anger…   And knowing all this I left him alone… God….  am too responsible for all these… for what Taani went through….. And again I have left him alone…

I should meet Rey…. I should not leave him again before he take a wrong step once more… One last time I should make him understand… I have to make him the Rey he was before and enlighten him about his own feelings towards Taani… And make him to rectify his mistake… I know he did a sin… I myself cant forgive him for that… still.., I cant leave him alone like this… Now as a true friend I should show him what todo right next…. Realization of his feeling towards her may become the medicine for her broken soul… For a girl.., that too like Taani can never forgive for what he done…  But if this works Taani’s life don’t get destroyed…..

But where… where will I find him… He tried his phone but Rey is not attending….

*********

Here thinking all…Rey is all shattered and was crying his heart out… He destroyed a girl’s life…Everyone hate him because of his deeds.. He feels disgusted on himself … he just crushed her without thinking... … And now he know his guilt cant erase that had happened… As he said.., its too late….

Swayum was searching Rey everywhere and finally he reached the beach… All he saw was a shattered Rey crying….

“Reyy…” Swayum put hand on his shoulder called him…

On seeing Swayum he just hugged him tight….. Rey was shaking badly while crying… Swayum too hold him…He was in tears too….

“Rey chal mere saath..” Breaking the hug Swayum dragged Rey to his car and drove off to his home….Through out drive Swayum didn’t say a word to Rey…  He took Rey inside home and showed him room and told to fresh up….

After sometime Swayum went inside the room where is with two coffee mugs… Rey was sitting on the bed all lost… Swayum come and sat beside him and kept the coffee mugs on side table…

“Rey do you know why I came to your house this morning…. After lashing out at you… I was in anger.. but when I was okay I thought to talk with you once more.. I should make you understand you are doing wrong and also to get you know what you feel for Taani… which you didn’t realize but is in your heart…. But I was late… too late… I should have come and talked to you last night itself… At a point am also responsible for this.. Knowing my Best friend I should not have left you alone….” Swayum said all this feeling guilty….

“Swayum please….. its not you…. Its only me… only me… I should have talked to you in the first place and I didn’t… But everything is now out of my hand… I have destroyed a girl’s life… I was an animal… And when I saw my mom… that moment… some sense get in me…!!..I am wrong Swayum…” Rey said in tears putting his palm on his face… Swayum patted on his shoulder….

“So now whats your decision Rey… You cant go in past and undo everything… So whats in your mind…”Swayum asked Rey….

“I don’t know Swayum…I don’t know.. My brain… my mind… nothing is working… Everyone hates me now… I cant blame.. Fault is completely mine..” Rey said all lost.

“Okay… just close your eyes and take some deep breath and relax… I can help you…” Swayum said to him… Rey just followed him…

“So now answer me…whats your decision…?” Swayum asked…

“Swayum… am whole heartedly ready to marry Taani and be with her whole life… I will beg her forgiveness… But I know she… not any girl can forgive for my deeds..” Rey said immediately…

“Rey can I ask you something…Do you love Taani..?” Swayum asked finally

“ I… I… don’t know what I feel for her is love… I don’t know… but now I feel like I need he in my life…  I feel like she will complete me.. I always feel she if is with me… But thought what if it is just an attraction…But I know some where I liked her.. but I don’t  know if she will accept me now.. or want to see my face ever… I was so cruel to her…” Rey said his face hung down

“Rey…. If you would have realized your feeling for her earlier.., this wouldn’t have turn out this way… you might have thought twice before you hurt her…” Swayum said.. Rey looked confused…

“Ok tell me what do you feel when Taani is around you…” Swayum said

“I just feel my heartbeat raising even before I hear any sound of her… I can feel her presence…. I feel so strange with this… I just feel to just get lost in her…Just sometimes couldn’t take my eyes off her… When the first time I touched her saving her from falling.., I felt current passing through me… I.. I..”

“Rey.. Rey.. stop..stop…” Swayum interrupted as Rey was continuously telling about his feeling…  here Swayum is becoming a bit uncomfortable…. And he feels strange why he is uncomfortable…

“Do you remember us din hum rehearsal hall se baath kar rathe iss topic ke bare mei… I have told you.., if you feel love.., you will feel it in your heart….” Swayum said…. Rey also thought… yes he always felt it in his heart…. The realization hit him hard….!!!

“So.. so.. that means I.. I.. am in love… love with her for so long…. I mean.. yes…. I… I do it..right?… I do love.. right?…. God…yes…. am in love… Yes… I love her.. (All the moments flashed in his mind from the moment he first met her)…. (he looked Swayum) Swayum I am in Love… I love Taani..” Rey said as realization of love hit him… He started feel so good in this feeling….. Swayum was happy too as he finally realized….

But happiness just vanished from his face instantly..  All the last night incident started to play infront of his eyes… what he did to his love…  He had crushed it before it blossomed. He just grabbed his hair with both hands and sat there looking down…

“I knew it.. I have seen it in your eyes… I thought you to realize your own… Even the boys had noticed it… But you.. you just didn’t let that feeling take over you…” Swayum said….

“Its me who didn’t realize my own feeling… God…. “ Rey said putting his palm on face… he was in so miserable state

His heart broke as how he wished for a chance to undo all… Tears made its way in his eyes…

“Swayum… I don’t deserve her… I know for what I have done she can never forgive me… I should just end my life than to face her or go in her life against her wish… I know I have broken her beyond repair..” Rey was mumbling these brokenly….

“Rey.. look.. What I wanted to say is She is definitely not going to forgive you… So don’t try to say sorry to her… But you have one chance.. one last chance to make her fall in love with you… erase all her hurtful memories to beautiful  lovely moments… But I should remind you… this is going to be really very tough for you…. “ Swayum said… Rey just sat in silence

“Am not saying all these because I forgive you completely.. and is supporting you… But I cant see two people’s life getting destroyed in front of my eyes… as one WAS my bestfriend (eyeing Rey…. Rey will be always his BFF.., that’s why he is doing all these… But now he deserve this pain..)and other an innocent girl.., who is like my sister… “ Swayum continued… Rey know Swayum will not forgive him….. And Rey is not expecting it too…

“And let this be between us… when its time we can tell others…. And I have to remind you one more thing, that is you should take it in a very slow steps… as now Taani is all broken and in a very delicate state…” Swayum said…

“I know… I will be very careful this time…” Rey said to Swayum  “I will mend my broken doll with my love…”  Rey said in mind…

“And yes one more thing….  You should say sorry to khushboo ma’am also.. I know what she have done also unforgivable.. But still.., now you know the actual reason.. If something happens to our sister also.., we may also think same way to take revenge or think to destroy them… so you should not now keep any rage with her… and you should talk your decision with her… she is Taani’s mother… “ Swayum continued….

“Yes Swayum that is in my mind.. It will be my first step to rectify my deeds…” Rey assured

“Now drink the coffee and come down for dinner” Swayum said

“Swayum please.. I don’t need dinner… Coffee is all enough… Thank you so much for giving a place here..” Rey said in tears… Swayum left before getting emotional, giving a glance to Rey

*************

Taani was also in thoughts that now nothing should affect her and everything ended destroying her life…. Now its over….. She burned herself to provide light to others…..

**************

Next Day…

Taani was getting ready…. She is still weak.. still sore with pain in some part of her body…  But she has to move on.. She is teaching her mind… she has to be strong…. one day or the other, she will have to face him….She needs to be ready for that.. But not this soon.., thats why she took leave from this AGS duty for some days as VP didnt allow her to resign..  She decided to maximum avoid the situation to meet with him.. But if there is any need she will face him… She is teaching her mind that now nothing or no-one should affect her…. What ever she did is for her mom and now its over….

***************

Khushboo is sitting in her cabin… engrossed in a pool of thoughts….

Rey just entered inside the cabin… Khushboo just stood up shocked to see Rey there….

“ma’am… I… I.. Know I don’t have the right to say sorry… But if possible please forgive me… I know its not possible but still… I really feel so miserable that I had done as in…..” Rey said with agony.. Khushboo don’t know what to tell him… as she is the root cause of all….

“Reyansh… mujhe bilkul nahi patha… what I need to tell you.., as I am the root cause of everything…  But for that my daughter suffered too much “ Khusbhoo said in helplessness

“I.. know whatever happened is all wrong…. But I want… I want Taani in my life… I.. I.. really love her.. I know its too late too realize.. But please.. please give me one chance.. once last chance to mend her… I promise you I will erase her all hurtful memories with my love…. I promise I will never hurt her a bit anymore” Rey told her

“I have known your feelings before…  Am more than happy if Taani accepts you… I never wanted to get my daughters life destroyed… But if she didn’t want to be in this… I cant force her.., because its not easy for her to forget… I think you understand…But I hope for good to happen.., All I want is to get her happiness back..” Khushboo said…

“Thank you….. one last chance… I will make every wrong to right…” Saying this Rey left from there….

*************

In two days they have their exams of the 2nd year… Everyone is too much engrossed in studies… Then after their final year start in one month they will have the NDC. So D3 Team will be busy from now… with their studies and rehearsals.

*************

Rey was desperately waiting in the entrance to meet Taani… He was thinking she will not come to college.. but still waiting to get a glimpse of her…. He don’t know how to face her.., but he is ready for her hatred.. he know he deserves more…

That’s when VP call him to his cabin… “Daaammnnn…!!” He cursed and left to meet VP

The moment Rey left.., Taani entered in the college.. she is walking so slowly that she don’t want others to notice her difficulty for walking… she is still in pain….

Taani just went in to the class ready to face everything… But she was in great relief that she didn’t find the D3 boys in the class, she went and sat on her seat.

“Simmi… Kya attitude dikhathi hai voh… “ Ayaana said to Simmi seeing Taani entering the class…

“Who..?” Simmi asked

“that Taani..” Ayaana said

“No way… She is not that type of girl... But I wonder why do you bother suddenly..”Simmi asked.. Ayaana didnt liked it

“Nothing… “ Ayaana said and moved out

She directly went in RH and saw Rey sitting there, who is waiting for Swayum… She go towards him and sat there…

“Rey “ She called him.., that’s when Rey came out of his thoughts.

“What the hell are you doing here..?” Rey immediately got angry realizing her sitting close to him…

“Rey what happen… why are you behaving so different… mujhe answer chaahiye..” She asked him all fed up.

“I am not bound to answer you… better you get it…” Rey said and left from there annoyed

“I will not let you go so easily Rey” Ayaana thought.

**************

Rey and Swayum went to see VP as he called him to talk about Exam arrangements and NDC.

“And Rey for two weeks your AGS has took a break from the Duty till exams get over.. So as you have suggested earlier I have made Ayaana your temporary AGS till Taani rejoins as AGS. Taani will join you for the NDC preparation. So get Ayaana informed and tell her to prepare a notice about the coming two days study leave and you check on the class and other exam arrangements…  So now make everything quick… and Swayum start the NDC preparations after the exams only” VP said

Swayum hold his hand as Rey was about to say he don’t want Ayaana as AGS and was totally sad that she wont be near him…

“Sure Sir we will do it.” Swayum dragged Rey out saying this to VP sir.

**************

In corridor

“Swayum why did you stop me… I want to say I don’t want any AGS other than Taani.., specially Ayaana..” Rey said making Swayum to leave his hand.

“Rey.. I have told you… You have to take it slow.. YOU cant imagine how delicate she will be… You have give time….” Swayum said

“I know.. but ab yeh temporary AGS ki koyi zaroorath nahi hai.. I could manage it alone.” Rey said annoyed with VP decision

“It was you who asked for an assistant at first place.. So in Taani’s absence management cant put that post vacant…  and you are the one who suggested Ayaana at the start...” Swayum said

“But… “ Rey said

“Its just two weeks…So leave it” Saying this Swayum went away…

“Shitt…” Rey said punching his hand on the wall.

Then Rey thought about Taani and immediately left for the class.. The teacher was already in the class.. The moment he reached the entrance his heart started beat so fast…  He looked at the place she used to sit but was disappointed as he couldn’t find her.. But he feels so strange why his heart is beating still… He just stood there, the teacher was asking him something but he was not hearing it. But just left from there…. He went to SH instead of RH as in RH D3 will be there and as he wanted to be alone he went to Seminar Hall.

Again.. after he left, Taani was walking as fast as she could towards the class in difficulty, because she was late to come back from the washroom for the class. Somehow she reached the class and entered asking permission.

************

“Rey…” Ayaana call him so excitedly as Swayum told about her being the temporary AGS

Hearing her voice itself he was losing his cool and trying hard to control and he feels strange that why Ayaana’s presence is making him angry. He thought he should not get angry to anyone without any cause. And Ayaana did nothing so its not good to get angry to her unwanted. I should be very normal with her.

“Rey.. Swayum told me that am the new AGS… Am so happy Rey.. Thank you for suggesting me once again..” She said sweetly. But her these words are making him angry…

“What…. No… You are not the new AGS, just  temporary till Taani come back… and one more thing I have not suggested you.., it was purely VP’s decision… Get that..” Rey said first in serious tone and then in an uninterested tone. He try to be normal with her. She was hurt with his tone… But happy that she can spend alone time with him…

“May be sometimes if she resigns I can be your AGS na… by the way kya attitude de rahi thi voh aaj..”She said

“Who..?” He asked excited

“Your ex- AGS” She said rolling her eyes….

“What… Taani had come..” Rey asked unbelievingly….

“Haa…” She said

“Ok so now you are here.., just prepare a notice that next two days will be study leave and put it on the notice board… Call me after finishing it..” He told her in hurry as he needs to see Taani  and left as he don’t want to stay with her. Before she could ask Rey to stay with her Rey already left.

She was a little happy that Rey is not angry with Her. May be he liked her to be his AGS, But why he said she is temporary and in an less interested way.., hmm.. he might be frustrated… “I know Rey you have suggested me and you are happy me being your AGS as you don’t like Taani” She dreaming that Rey is liking her.

“Taani is not my “ex”-AGS…  Better you remember you are temporary…. no one can take her post..” Rey said coming back breaking all her dreams she just build now and left

“Oh.. so.. it turned-up as I thought… But Rey I will make this temporary post permanent…” She said to herself.

***************

It was break time. Rey was running so fast.. he want to reach class as soon as possible.. He looked at the class but she is no where to be found… He feel disappointed…. Now two days…he cant see her as its study leave…

“Kya voh canteen mei gaya hoga toh…” He thought himself…

“Have you seen Taani..?” Before going he asked a random girl in his class who was moving out.

“haa.. she left just a minute ago.. she took half-day leave.., she told she will collect notes from the teacher.” The girls said and left.

He ran towards the college entrance.. He saw her entering an auto.. He could only see some of her hair strands flying out the auto…. He just brushed his hair with his hands in disappointment….

*************

Two weeks passed by a desperate Rey suffering to get a glimpse of Taani… In exam also they were indifferent class… Taani and Rey didn’t face each other all these days… Taani left immediately after the exam… Rey always wait morning for her at the entrance but some or the other works will come and he couldn’t see her.. these days he use to curse the GS works…  The more irritating thing is he had to bear Ayaana… She was acting all over sweetly that irk Rey…

Taani was in soo much relief that no situation have come that made them to see each other… She know she need to face him after the exams and she is really preparing herself ready for it. She was now perfectly fine with the physical pain… But mental pain…!!!She tried hard to forget those things… But she is not able to…

Finally the exams are over…..

VP sir informed Rey and Sharon about them to start preparing for NDC the next day…. And their final year classes will starting after two weeks and in next 1 week they will behaving the NDC first round…

“Rey Taani will take charge from tomorrow. So inform Ayaana too.. “ Rey was in 9th cloud. Finally his wait is over.

“Sure sir..” Rey said excited. Sharon was so suspicious in Rey’s excitement…. Swayum didn’t tell anything to Sharon also…

************

Next Day

Taani has to go college as NDC preparations have to be started tomorrow.. She is preparing herself to face…. She has to make herself strong… She just looked at the mirror and left for college….

************

Rey has reached the college early as he don’t know whats his emotion now…  He wanted to be normal as he don’t want to make her uncomfortable….

VP called Rey to have a meeting with Taani and all the files they needed will be in Seminar Hall…. So he went SH… He know she will come there…

VP then called Taani and told her to discuss the necessary things with Rey and collect all the file from him and help the team.

Here Rey started to get his heart beating faster… He know she is here…. He felt all his energy draining to face her… But he know he needs to compose.. And now he should be formal with her.., she will not by the way accept him… so she wont even give care to his sudden change….  also she wont believe him if he suddenly say he feel for her.. Its not the right time to express his feeling now..

Taani was feeling her heart will break any moment as its beating super fast… She stood there… She was facing his back… The sight of him itself made her shiver… Fear started to creep in her heart… She started to sweat as the memories came flashing before her…How much she try.. she cant get over it this soon…

Rey slowly turned towards her but the fear in her eyes made him to feel to die there.. The moment she saw his face.. her fear increased.. she just turn her face….

“pl.. please don’t hurt me…” unknown to her she stated to mumble these words in fear… Her eyes filled with tears… her vision got blurred and she collapsed… before Rey could catch her.., she fall on the floor…

Rey who was all broken seeing her state ran towards her and held her… Rey was patting her cheek… but she is just mumbling to not to hurt her… those words literally killed him… he closed his eyes and the tears fall on her cheeks… she is still unconscious that’s when he saw the water bottle, he immediately took it and sprinkled on her face 2-3 time… she slowly opened her eyes… only to find him holding her so close…

She immediately jerked out from him even she is weak… as she now hate it to the core….

“Pl.. please aage se mujhe touch mat karo.. mu..mujhe… I.. I… hate that.…. “ She mumbled in tears

Rey was so much in pain hearing her words… but he know he deserves more….

She stood up and try to be unaffected before him… She looked everywhere except him…

“VP sir asked to discuss about NDC. And to get the file from you” Taani said in one go. She wanted to end it soon.. She hate to stay in the same room where he is..

“Okay file on the table near the projector.., Get it from there… ” Rey too said in official tone and left immediately. Trying hard to not to break infront of her… The depth of his sin…. He couldn’t hold back… he just stormed out…..

Taani fall on her knees… “Mai chaahkar bhi.. aapko kabhi maaf nahi karpaaungi….” She cried her heart out.. The girl inside her is so much hurt that she cant forgive him…
