Chapter 4

[MEMBERSONLY][NOCOPY]

SHOT 4

"Chachi, aap kidhar gayi?" Chotu was on the phone, talking to Roshni while Sara, Saima, Daadi, Baby, Parveen and Aman were sitting around him. "Mr. Chotu, main na apni friend se milne aayi hoon." Roshni said softly. She somehow knew everyone was there, him too. "Oh! Aap kab tak wapis aayengi?" Chotu asked innocently. "Jaldi." Roshni said and sighed. He didn't want to lie but she just couldn't break that little child's heart. "Promise?" Chotu asked. "Hmm." Roshni just hated her destiny. "Roshni, tum theek ho na?" Aman asked, nervously. He didn't know why but he felt she wasn't fine. It was scaring him but he couldn't do anything, or maybe he could but didn't want to. They could hear the phone disconnected, leaving him disheartened.

Farah looked at Roshni and was really sad to see her friend like that. She wanted to do something but didn't know what. Maybe she could make them talk to each other, at least. An idea clicked in her mind. She changed her face expression to a horrified one and ran towards Roshni who was lost in her own world. "Roshni, woh Aman Jiju..." She said trying to be shocked. Aman's name alarmed her. "Aman kya? Kya hua unhein?" Roshni was terrified. She knew Laal Chaand ki raat was round the corner and she wasn't there to protect him. "Bolo Farah Aman Ko kya hua?" Roshni was almost panicking. "Woh behosh ho Gaye hain. Sara ka phone aaya tha." Farah said, not looking into her eyes. That was that! Roshni rushed towards Junaid House, praying that Aman was fine. 

While, Aman was in his room looking at Roshni's picture, a small smile spread over his face. "Kaash, Kaash Roshni main tumhein Bata pata ki main tumhare liye kya feel karta hoon." Aman said and kept the photo frame back in the drawer and stood up to look outside the window of his room. He could see a fully blossomed 'Nargisi' tree. He had never seen that tree look so beautiful. He had heard from Tabeezi that when he and Ayaana will fall in love, that tree would bloom to it's fullest. The sight of that beautiful tree brought in a different shine to his eyes altogether. It warmed his heart and probably, he did spill a tear or two, thinking of their love. It was of sadness or happiness was still a question but anyway. 

Roshni got out of the Autorickshaw and paid it quickly and ran inside. "Aman!" She shouted for him. Everyone heard her Calling for Aman and ran towards the hall. She saw Aman also descending the stairs and running towards her. She ran and hugged him. She then looked at him, caressed his face and looked all over. "Aap, aap theek hain na?" She asked, hiccupping due to all the crying. Aman held her hand and kept it on his chest, where his heart was. "Roshni, main theek hoon." He said, holding her face with the other hand. His heartbeat calmed her and she felt relief. "Batao, kya hua?" Aman asked softly. "Woh! Kuch nahi." Roshni said and distanced herself from him. She turned to leave but Aman held her hand.
