next morning: raizada mansion:
arnav got into his tracks and let out a sigh when he remembered that kushi would not be there like usual... he searched for his ipod only to discover it was out of charge... so he let out a sigh again and stuck his bluetooth in his ears and set out for jogging...
anjali was up in her room looking into a photograph as her eyes became moist... rahul entered
rahul: hey sweetheart
anjali quickly wiped her tears and looked up flashing a smile at him: good morning rahulll...
rahul: anjali.. wahst wrong...
anjali: nothing
rahul: anjaliii.. you can temme yar
anjali: toomo is our parents anniversary pooja rahul.. so just got a bit emotional
rahul: but if i am not wring it was day after right
anjali: ji.. but arnav never stays here... he goes to our farmhouse near mumbai every year.. he stays away from this world.. he does not even like talking to anyone that day..that incident still haunts him like antyhgin rahul... he even missed his sleeps at nights screaming out... he prefers to be away.. so we conduct the pooja always a day before and she let her tears fall
rahul: but
anjali: i know what you want to ask rahul... that was the worst day in our lives... that was the day i lost not just my parents but my chotey as well... you know rahul chtey was not at all like this... he was a very cheerful person... and he loved mom and dad so much that even for fun he wont let them support anybody else except us...
anjali rested her head on rahuls shoulder
anjali contd: but things changed that night rahul...after that incident since hotey saw it with his own eyes he went into a shell which nobody could break... he would rarelly smile and i used to be the one reason he did that... the first time after yrs that i saw him smile was because of kushi... he had lost hope on life love etc... he just lived a mechanical life... things changed after kushi entered... slowly she was able to reach that person we all thought we would never see again... but again because of that SHyam and anjali broke down hugging rahul
rahul hugged her tightly and slowly caressing her hairs: anjali: the past is over... don keep thinking about it.. see .. look at me
anjali looked up all teared up
rahul: wiping her tears contd: you do trust me right
anjali nodded: everything happens for a reason but in the end it shall be perfect... forget that shyam anjali... its only rahul and hereafter i want to see you just smile...
and kissed her on her forehead...
anjali i loved you not after knowing anything but i have loved you ever since i know you... and you loved me after knowing me as a person.. this true love... the past was a mistake... whatever happened with kushi and arnav was wrong.. but love heals everything... you will see chotey back ... they still love each other deeply but the past as created a wall between them and that shall break down soon too... don worry...
and then you see your chotey's chotey will eat your brain... anjali chuckled
anjali nodded smiling : i love you rahulll
rahul hugged her back: i love you tooo:-))))
