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

Part 21A:

The letter had voiced many things which wasn't written there...the inner meanings, the hidden lines were what came up as Roshni's words to him! She was asking him to forget all the strings that held them back and move ahead in their lives...she was asking them to forget that promise once and forever!

He did the right thing by coming here...he had got all his answers here in this place...

Roshni had come back to show him the right path...the right direction!

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

Sakshi's state was more miserable. She had slumped to the floor not able to take the reality that she had indeed pushed Arjun out of her life...and away from herself.

She was sure that he could never come back to her now. He could never break Roshni's promise and hurt her neither did Sakshi want that...After breaking that promise, they can never lead a peaceful happy life together...It would be worse than hell and she knew that living away from each other was better than that hell like life...

She didn't call Shree as she had told Arjun...she wanted to be alone...just alone confined to herself...

A little later, Shree called her up as he was worried with the way Arjun had blasted in and also made him leave from there...Sakshi's disturbed state was well evident in her voice but then she sternly told Shree that she was fine and just needed to be left alone. Shree unwillingly nodded and cut the call...

She let her heart cry out for some time. Then as she reached a truce like saturation point, she wiped off the tears and made a few calls...

She had made a few decisions in those few minutes...the most important decision was that she wouldn't stay before his eyes and cause hurt and pain to both of them...she had to leave this place once and for all...

She would move to a place where none knew about her and start off from the scratch...From now on, she would take care of her mom...the storm in their lives was over and she could give her mom a peaceful life and support...

So she made a few calls to settle a few things and also book tickets to go and meet her mom first...it was a long time since she met her mom...

Then, she started packing some of the important things...

She stuffed her bag with her things carelessly...tears had dried up but it had left its marks on her pale face...smiles had become alien to her...

Having got Arjun so close to her and then this separation was really a torture for her...his confession and knowing that he loves her only added to her agony now...their intimate moments, their kiss..everything tortured her!

Getting something that she wished and cherished all through her life so close and then distancing away was painful...her heart ached...her first love was just in her hands but she couldn't accept it...she was forced to throw it away and on one side, she hated herself for that...She was having a hell like mind state now!

"Kahaan baag rahi ho wrong number?"

His sudden but casual question freaked her out...She turned around to see him leaning onto the door...

She didn't understand why he came back...Had he decided to break the promise?

Oh God why is it getting tougher for me? She prayed and then looked at him desperate for her answers...

His face was inscrutable as always...it didn't let out what his thoughts were but his eyes was calm and peaceful conveying that he had made a firm decision and there would be no second thoughts on it...

A part of her hoped that he would tell her to break the promise...Her heart lurched and kept chanting to her to just accept his love and move on in life...but somewhere deep inside, her conscience told her no...NO, she cant do that...

She cant break her promise to Roshni...It was a war of thoughts and she was confused as to what to wish for too! She was scared to hope for anything at all!

Sakshi looked at him while he took slow steps towards her...Before he could reach her, she stepped back away from him quickly...

She said crushing her dreams and silencing all her heart's screams to just rush into his arms and embrace his love, "Arjun, agar tum yeh kehne waale ho ke uss promise ko thodhen toh plzz...mujh se nahi hoga..."

She had just pierced her own heart when she said that...

Arjun stared at her as she said that and then a light smile appeared at the end of his lips...He replied, "promise thodne keliye hi aaya hoom par apne aap nahi balke kisi ke kehne par..."

Sakshi was puzzled at what he was saying...had he gone mad due to stress...

She forgot her heart breaks for an instant and replied mocking him, "ab yeh matth kehna ke Roshni khud aakar tumhe yahaan bheja...I am not a dumbo to believe that"

Arjun: [chuckling at her mock] sirf dumbo hi nahi...tum ek number ke bevakoof ho...duffer ho...idiot ho...stupid ho...[Sakshi narrowed her brows and glared at him for what he was saying while he added] aisa maine nahi Roshni ne kaha...

Sakshi blew up her hair in anger and enquired, "oh toh tum mujhe gaali dene aaye ho...huh? dho dho...I am all ears...jee barrke deh dho aur chale jaao Arjun..."

She just turned away from him saying that...

Arjun grinned hearing her rantings and replied calmly, "dena toh bohat kuch hai wrong number...par pehle yeh padhlo...Roshni ke diary hai...tumaari harr sawaal ka jawaab hai iss mein..."

Saying that, he turned her around to him and thrust the diary into her hands and voiced, "main baahar wait kartha hoom...come to me after you are convinced with all the answers..."

She alternated her looks between the diary and him...and then slowly nodded...

He walked to the door and then turned back..."iss mein sirf ek hi page likhaa hai...Roshni ke mauth ke teek ek din pehle ka page...[he was silent for a long moment and then added] Oct 1^st..."

[Note: In this story, I am assuming Roshni's death happened on Oct 2^nd...]

She didn't react to that...the mention about Roshni's death numbed her totally...He could sense it and he just urged, "padhlo..." And then walked away...

She almost fell into the bed holding the diary...with teary eyes, she slowly flipped the pages...she was anxious to know what Roshni had written one day before her death...

Her vision blurred as tears welled up in her eyes but she wiped them away and began to read...

Slowly and gradually, the essence of what Roshni was trying to convey sunk into her...

At the end of it, her message was loud and clear...She could hear Roshni's voice screaming to her..."YOU SILLY GIRL! Forget that crazy promise and go get your love back!"

She didn't know how to react or what to do...when the message slowly dissolved into her mind, her joy knew no bounds...Was Roshni actually giving back her love?

Yes, Roshni was gifting her, the first love that she had always wished for...Was it true?? Was it really happening? She wasn't able to comprehend anything...She pinched herself to check if she was dreaming...no it hurt, so she wasn't dreaming...it was all real and happening to her!

She couldn't have asked for more...she thanked Roshni for this moment...her fingers lingered over the page trying to communicate how much she was relieved reading that letter...Roshini had given her extremes of both emotions...sorrow and happiness...tears of sadness as well as joy!

She sat there trying to sink in that feeling...tears obliviously rolled down and she didn't stop them...All the pains and tortures she had endured these years were coming to an end...she had to vent it all out as tears so that her new life is free of all such past baggages!

And after that, she didn't waste one more second to decide on what to do...

She rushed out...she stopped at the sight of him...He was standing near the window and staring at something...His usual pose with his hands crossed across his chest...She couldn't help a faint smile seeing him stand like that...

She walked to him...

Her footsteps were enough to grab his attention to her...he turned sideways and enquired, "tumne padhliya?"

Sakshi nodded, "hmm...padhliya aur jo nahi likha hai woh sunn bhi liya"

Arjun could totally relate to what she meant by that...he turned fully to her and enquired further, "toh tumne kya socha hai?"

Sakshi: tumne kya socha hai Arjun?

Arjun: socha toh bohat kuch hai par tumaare decision pehle jaan na chahtha hoom Miss wrong number!

A faint smile spread across her face and she asked, "kya iss wrong number ko apne life ke right number banaavoge Arjun?"

Arjun grinned at that and grabbed her hands in his, "tum humesha mere wrong number hi rahoge...[she frowned a bit and looked at him enquiringly...he pulled her closer to himself and added] par soch raha hoom iss wrong number ko life partner banaake life ko right set kardoom"

She smiled and buried her face into his chest feeling his warmth...feeling at home...at peace!

He encircled her in his arms and hugged her tightly. He felt peace and a unique calmness too...

Finally the storm in their life was gone...and the high tide was over...A new chapter filled with just love and happiness awaited them...and an angel from heaven was always there to protect them from all evil eyes...she was happy too seeing her Arjun happy and peaceful finally...

There was just one thing which remained like a dust in the eyes for both of them...Sikandar!

But none of them wanted to spoil that moment by pulling up that now...not even Roshni would want that!

After a long time that seemed like eternity, he parted a little from her...it was past 10 in the night...

He slowly spoke up, "tumhe patha hai Roshni ne kya kaha?"

Sakshi, her head still resting on his chest, "mujhe silly aur foolish kaha hoga na?"

Arjun chuckled as he chinned her up to meet his eyes, "woh toh hai hi par kuch aur bhi kaha..."

Sakshi wondered, "kya?"

Arjun bent a little and touched her forehead with his...then lightly pecked her perky nose tip and naughtily voiced, "Ussne kaha ke hum bohat waqt barbaadh kar chukhe..."

Sakshi understood the inner meaning of that and blushed...he teased her, "mujhe yeh sharmeeli nahi balke woh daring waala Sakshi zyaadha pasand hai...harr cheez mein daring...samjhi ya samjhaavum?"

He bent down to kiss her but she shyly lowered her gaze and tried to free away from him while he grabbed her elbow and voiced playfully, "kamaal hai...tumaara pyar tumhe waapas mil gaya aur tum usse chodhke jaa rahi ho, huh?"

Knowing that they can never stop at just the kiss now, Sakshi replied hesitantly, "kya hum shaadi tak..."

Arjun twirled her around before she could complete that and she crashed into his arms...he looked into her eyes and replied to her unfinished question, "nahi...I want to make you mine at the earliest...kyun ki mujhe darr hai ke tum phir se mere saat hide and seek khelogi...[winking] games khelne mein expert jo ho...but this time, I cant take that risk my dear wrong number..."

Sakshi smiled shyly while he closed the distance between their lips in a searing kiss!

tumhi dekho na, yeh kya ho gaya

tumhara hoon mein aur tum meri

main hairaan hoon, tumhe kya kahoon

ke din mein hui kaisi chandni

jaagi jaagi si hai, phir bhi khwaabon mein hai khoi khoi zindagi

tumhi dekho na yeh kya ho gaya tumhara hoon mein aur tum meri

behke behke se mann, mehke mehke sitam

ujli ujli fizaaon mein hai

aaj hum hai jahan, kitni rangeeliyan

chalki chalki nigaahon mein hai

neeli neeli ghataaon se hai cham rahi

halki halki, roshni

tumhi dekho na, yeh kya ho gaya
