Simmi had thought that somewhere all this has to come to an end. She wondered how come Rey was not doing anything. She has always noticed that Rey does something or the other to make Swayam and Sharon to come closer. It is getting harder for her to see Sharon like this. Not that Sharon has told her everything. She has decided to talk to Rey .
Rey: kya hua Simmi ...tumne mujhe msg kiya ki tujhe akela milna hai...
Simmi: Ha Rey...dude i just want to ki ho kya raha hai... Sharon ko itna vulnerable maine kabhi nahi dekha... and mujhe samajh mein nahi aa raha hai ke mein karu tho kya karu...and tum ...tum tho Sharon ke best friend ho...tum bhi Sharon ko avoid kar rahe ho...common yaar just look at her...what is all this...
Rey:Simmi...Yeh Sharon ki personal mamla hai...aur chah ke bhi mein tumhe kuch nahi bata sakta..im sorry
Simmi: Oh Rey...y are u acting so dumb...mujhe pata hai...Sharon aur Swayam ek couple hai aur unke break up hua hai...and Sharon is condition mein isliye hai...uske aage...yeh sab ho kya raha hai...aur tum Sharon ko avoid kar rahe ho...
Rey: tumhe pata tha?? Kaise??
Simmi has narrated the entire story to Rey...how and how Sharon has been all these days...
Rey sighed closed his eyes to stop the brimming tears...He sat on the bench...
Rey: Agar itna pyar karti hai tho...aise sab ke samne inkar karke Swayam ko dil kyun thoda usne??..
Simmi: Yeh baat mujhe bhi samajh nahi aaya...Rey i know u don't want to but mujhe sab kuch jaan na hai...pls...shuru se batao hua kya hai...
Rey has narrated the entire story from the trail relationship till the break up...all the up's and downs...
Simmi: OMG i can't believe ki yeh sab kuch hua...no wonder...oh god...no wonder...
Rey: Simmi tumhi batao agar Swayam ke jagah koi aur ho ta itne patience ke saath nahi rehta...usne kya kuch nahi kiya ...end mein usse insults milte hain...ab woh puri tarah badal gaya hai...And trust me simmi for the first time mujhe Sharon pe itna gussa aaya hai...
Simmi: i know...mujhe bhi samajh mein nhi aa raha hai ki Sharon ne aisa kyu kiya..par Rey agar usne galti ki hai...humhe usse help karni chahiye...just look at her... kuch nahi karti hai...na khana...na dance...na padayi...subah se shyaam take k hi khayaal..rona..dude agar aise hi chalta raha tho... uske health..par... asar hoga...aur phirse...
Rey: Aastma attacks ayenge...
Simmi: tumhe patha tha??
Rey: hmm recently patha chala...
Simmi: Rey pls kuch karo...mei aise nahi dekh sakti Sharon ko...
Rey: i can't Simmi mere haath bandhe hue hai...Swayam ne mujhse promise li hai...agar mein is baar aisa kuch bhi karu tho woh mujhse friendship bhi thod dega...
Simmi: Kya...Swayam sach mein badal gaya hai...Oh god...
Rey: Aur ye Sharon...simmi don't you think usse fight karni chahiye...she should try winning Swayam back...rone se kya hoga...chah ke bhi mein kuch nahi kar sakta...its not like mujhe in dono ki parwah nahi hai...par karu tho kya karu mein...Swayam ko agar zara sa bhi doubt ho gaya tho...he will not even trust me...
Simmi: Rey kuch tho kar na hi hoga...this is not done...
Rey: Tum baat karo Sharon se...usse yeh realise kar wao ki rone se kuch nahi hoga...tum karo baat usse...
Simmi: Rey mein kaise...
Rey: You have to do it Simmi...we don't have a choice...
Simmi: ok i will try...
***********
It was the usual night where Sharon would spend lost in their memories. Sharon was about to go for ride in car Simmi has stopped her...
Sharon: Kya hua Simmi
Simmi: We need to talk Sharon...
Sharon: abhi nahi...Simmi...
Simmi: No Sharon...enough of all this...tum kahi nahi jaaoge...
Sharon: Whats your problem Simmi...??
Simmi: Whats your problem Sharon...bahut dino se dekh rahi hoon..ya tho roti ho ya phir lost bait thi ho...college mein bas Swayam ke taraf dekthi rehti ho...enough Sharon...enough of all this...
Sharon:Enough of what Simmi...kya mein rob hi nahi sakti ab...ab mere paas kar ne ke liye bacha hi kya hai...i have lost everything...my love...al my dreams...
Simmi: kya tumhara ise rone se ya life ko full stop karke baitne se sab kuch wapas aa jayega?
Sharon didn't have an answer for it. She started crying again.Simmi went and sat next to her...
Simmi: Sharon i know jo hua galat hua...par Sharon aise rone se kuch ho ga na...agar tumne galti ki hai...you have to face it...teek bhi tumnhe hi karna hoga na Sharon...
Sharon: Mein ne usse sorry bola...mein rady thi Simmi sab ke saamne mere galti confess karne ke liye ready thi...par Swayam ko abhi koi interest nahi hai...woh mere baat tak nahi sun na chahta hai...mein kya karu...
Simmi:Sharon i know par ek baar socho...Swayam ke taraf se socho..agar tumhare saath ya mere saath koi aisa karta kya hum kabhi unhe maaf karte ?? ya phir itna jaldi sab kuch bhool jaa pathe??...
Sharon didn't have anywords to answer Simmi's question..She was never put up in such a situation. Swayam has never made her face such situation..
Simmi: Sharon agar Swayam chahta tha tho tabhi ke tabhi ye prove kar sakta tha ki you guys were a couple...par usne aise kiya nahi tha... he made himself the culprit... Sharon tumhe bura lagega but i want to ask you a question...do you love Swayam??
Sharon: What do mean do you love Swayam??
Simmi: Sorry Sharon ye baat tumhari best friend ki tarah nahi par ek neutral point of view se pooch rahi hun... agar tum Swayam se true love karti ho tho tumne saab ke saamne itna easily usse reject kaise kar diya...
Sharon : Simmi tumhe yeh lag raha hai ki mein Swayam ko use kar rahi hu...
Simmi: nahi Sharon aisa kuch nahi hai... but this is the first question which pops in anyone's may be in Swayam's mind also... Mujhe kehne ki zaroorat nahi hai...but..atleast answer yourself ki tumne aise kiya kyun??
Sharon: i dunno...mein..mein gabra gayi thi.. i didn't expect the things to turn out that way...mein ..
Simmi: Sharon...kis cheez se gabra gayi thi...kya ho jaata agar tum ye feeling accept kar lethi...
Sharon: i duno Simmi... i was not sure i was confused ki Swayam aur mere beech itne saare fights hue ki...ki i thought that he will leave me... i dint think at all..
Simmi: Sharon..sorry mein itne sawal puch rahi hu...but i want you to analyse Sharon...y do you love Swayam...agar Swayam ne kabhi tum me interest nahi dikhaya hota tho kyat um kkabhi usse like karti?? Aur you love him only because he cares for you...i really want you to analyse your self...mujhe answer mat karo.sharon...but answer yourself..ki...yeh sab jo hua...kab kaha kaise tum galat thi... i will be back in some time...
Simmi left Sharon sometime alone...Sharon had no answers for Simmi's questions. How did she feel seeing Swayam for the first time? If not for Swayam she would have never believed in love...She has analysed the things from start... May be she must have hated Swayam in starting but he always had an impact on her. Unknown to her she always used to look around for his presence. She has never expressed this feeling to him. She always longed for his being... Bur she has always pushed him away from her. Finally when she couldn't take it anymore she has confessed her feelings of liking him. She never knew when she fell in love with him. When she started caring for him. She has always felt that she dint deserve Swayam . Her asthma made this feeling worse. She didn't want to spoil his life. She tried to make him hate her. But he never did...on the other note he made her fall in love with him...rather made her accept that she is in love with him equally as mad as him...but all these along she has never expressed her inner feelings to him...she just made him feel as an unwanted person in her life.
Now when she has confessed her feelings for him...and these situations came in...what did go wrong...what has made their relation so weak...his accusations...he dint trust her...rather...she should have been a bit more understanding...she should have let go her ego for once...may be just for once...she should have held her anger ...and would have not let the words escape from her mouth...maybe she should have tried to mend their relationship in a proper way...
Sharon has tried to think what would she have done if she was in Swayam's place. Simmi was true will she ever forgive him if he did what she did to him. Why did she do this to him then??..She went and stood infront of mirror...
"Mere pyar accept karne se dar gayi thi ya tumhara image kharab hone se"
She tried analysing herself...
"Kya meri image mere liye Swayam se jyada important hai?? "
"Kis baath se dar gayi mein..."
She just looked at herself in mirror... lifeless...pale...if it would have been Sharon of old times she would have got a heart attack by the fact that she was looking that horrible ... nothing matters to her except Swayam...
"Swayam tum mere liye bas important nahi ho...tum meri life ho... I love you Swayam..nahi jee sakti tumhare bina mein..."
"To jaane mat do usse apne life se..."
Sharon turned around to see Simmi standing with a glass of juice...
She handed it to her and signalled her to drink...
Simmi: Sharon...i hope ki tumne analyse ki hai...galti kaha hua...ab batao...tum sach mein pyar karti ho Swayam se??
Sharon: ha...more that i can ever explain...
Simmi: great...tho fight for your love Sharon..agar Swayam tumse gussa hai tho manao usse...
Sharon: agar woh mujhe ek chance de tab na...mere baath tak sun na chahta hai Swayam...
Simmi: hmmm tum bhi aise karti hi na...par kya use hope chod diya...tha..?
Simmi: Sharon...agar pyar kiya aur usse express nahi kiya tho ...dusre isaan ko samjah mein kaise aayega Sharon??...,,Sharon agar humhe kisi se pyar hota hai tho woh feelings ko apne andar dabake rakh nahi sakte hai... so tum socho ki swayam ko kaise manaye...
Sharon: you are right Simmi...i have to ..Swayam ko manaungi...apne life ko phirse se set karungi...par agar...Swayam mujhe hate karega tho...
Simmi: hmm woh bhi ho sakta hai Sharon..but i don't think it should stop you expressing your love for Swayam na... ek baar Sharon listen to your heart...only to your heart...dont think anything else...act according to your heart...have some patience...sab kuch teek ho jayega...
Sharon went and hugged Simmi...
"Thank you Simmi..."
*********
After so many days Sharon was really excited to go to college. She got up and got ready and went to college. She was super happy today. Even gang was surprised to see Sharon happy after so long days...Rey looked at Simmi who gave a assurance smile back to him.
After long Swayam came to class.
Sharon: Hi Swayam...
Entire gang including Swayam himself was shocked seeing Sharon. She has never initiated conversation openly with Swayam until and unless it is for a fight or for official purpose.
Swayam: hi... he said and continued with his work..
Sharon smiled to herself...
They had dance routine after the class.
Sharon went and gave Swayam knee pads as he forgot to wear..
Sharon: chot lag sakti hai...pehen na chahiye tumhe...
It was a second shock for Swayam as he couldn't understand y Sharon was doing all this...
Swayam: no thanks...im ok without them...
Gang was in an utter shock except for Rey and Simmi...who were grinning looking at each other...
Day was full eventful for guys as Sharon kept giving them surprises...
She has got a tea for Swayam even before he has ordered it...he left it there and took another one...
She has even complimented that he was outstanding after seeing his single routine...
**********
Swayam went off to home early. Sharon was making it difficult for him to stand on his decision.
"Yeh sab kyun Sharon..kyun disturb kar rahe ho mujhe..."
*************
Next few days were really difficult for Swayam coz Sharon was there in every event ant everywhere with him.
His library books were renewed. He has got a extra copy of notes for the class he has missed.
Even if he didn't wish her back Sharon has a made a routine to wish him every day in college and compliment him. Gang and entire college was making fun of Sharon as she was always either behind him ...openly complementing him...openly staring at him passing a cute smile.
**********
Swayam was about to go for jogging in the morning...he saw Sharon coming behind him jogging...She waved her hand and passed a cute smile...He turned around to see I love you...pasted on the tree near by...He just couldn't understand her behaviour he plugged earphones and started jogging...she ws jogging behind him...
From that day Sharon would always follow Swayam every day as he jogs...every day with a new sign board that she loves him...
***********
Swayam took his bicycle to go to college...he was riding it just then he felt someone was following him... he saw Sharon was riding a scooty behind him smiling at him...she has passed a flying kiss seeing him...he turned around and tried riding faster to reach college.
*************
It went on for months till one day Swayam got irritated as he heard one of the girls speaking i'll of Sharon as on how she is desperate behind Swaayam...
He went in anger searched for Sharon who was in projector room working on some report. He went and locked the room. Sharon turned around to see Swayam locking the room. She stood up to see him marching towards her in anger...
Swayam: kyun kar rahi ho yeh sab Sharon...
Sharon: kya kar rahi hun...
Swayam: yeh sab.mere piche piche aana...roz mere tareef karna...ab mujhe itna importace dena...sab ke saamne...y all this...
Sharon: hamesha se karna chahti thi...kabhi kar nahi paayi...so...
Swayam: don't act smart Sharon..ab in sab ka koi faida nahi hai...
Sharon: aur mein koi faide ke liye nahi kar rahi hun...
Swayam: jab humare beech sab kuch khatam ho ga ya hai tho yeh sab kyun?? Kya prove karna chahti ho tum...
Sharon: kuch bhi nahi...
Swayam: you are irritating me Sharon...pls stop all these...ab kuch nahi ho ne wala hai.
Sharon: tho maine kab kaha ki kuch hoga
Swayam: khud ka mazak kyun banwa rahi ho...
Sharon: mera mazak uda rahe hai...to tumhe kya problem hai...tum effect hote ho??
Swayam: aisa kuch nahi hai...and humne decide ki hai kit um humare relationship ke bare mein kuch nahi bataogi...
Sharon: Swayam humne nahi,,,tumne decide kiya aur maine na chahte hue maana bhi...Aur tumne muhje yeh bola ki mein kisi ko na batau humare baarein mein..but tumne yeh kabhi nahi bola ki mein apne pyar ka izhaar na karu...so mein apna pyar jata rahi hu...
Swayam: mujhe nahi chahiye koi pyar...
Sharon: kya tumne mujhe puchke pyar jataya?? Nahi na..tho mujhe bhi tumhara permission nahi chahiye...aur ha meine tumse kuch return mein maanga hai kya...mein bas apni dil ki sun rahi hu...
Swayam: job hi hain Sharon tum aur mein kabhi hum nahi bansakte...
Sharon: yeh tumari soch hai...mere liye na kabhi break up hua ha hoga...jo kar na hai karlo...mein tumse break up nahi karungi...
Saying that she went out of the room wiping a tear from her eyes with a satisfactory smile on her face...
