The credit for the idea goes to Shivangi (Shivangi_Taarey). The whole idea is hers, I have just written it down. So, pura credit goes to her.
Disclaimer: This is a sad OS. And badly written. I am not at all happy by the way it has turned out. So, please don't bash me or give me gallis if you don't like it. Sorry! 😳

Apne bhi pesh aaye humse ajnabi,
Waqt ki saazish koi samjha nahi,
Be irada kuch khataye humse ho gayi.
"And I thought you loved me, Rey.."
Taani had heard everything Rey had said to Sharon. He wanted to break up with her. He too felt that she was wrong. And all this while she thought that he wanted to be with her, always!
"Main.. Woh mujhe koi kaam hai." Sharon said and was about to leave when Taani stopped her.
"Nahi, Sharon! Aisa kya zaroori kaam ki aap apne best friend ke saath bhi nahi reh sakti? Jab itne saare decisions lene mein unki help kar di hai toh ab toh unke saath, iss waqt, aap reh hi sakti ho na?"
"Taani.." Rey started to say in a stern voice, but Taani stopped him too.
"Remember Rey, last time jab aap Goa gaye the without telling me, maine aapse poocha tha if I am there in your heart? I finally got the answer, I am not! I thought you understood me. I thought only you understood me, but no! Even you don't! No one does! All this while, I thought you are doing this for us, so that we could be together forever. But, now, I feel that you never loved me. If you had ever loved me, Rey.. Then you wouldn't have, ever, even thought about the break up. You would have done anything to sort this out but never think of the break up. Do you even love me, Rey? Why in the world did you say that you did when you didn't? To break my heart a thousand times again?"
"I did, Taani!! I loved the other, selfless, old Taani. Who would go to any extent to save her loved ones from any kind of trouble. But you, you have changed, completely. You were the one who started acting rudely with my friends. Just after a few days when we got the news about NDC you had completely changed. Talking rudely with everyone, always blaming Sharon for everything.. I don't know what got into you then. That's when..."
"You don't know.. " Taani started to say with a sarcastic smile on her face, "You don't know because you never tried to find out what happened! If you really cared na, then you would have tried to find what was troubling me, irritating me.. But no! I feel so dumb that I ever trusted you, Rey. Even after the day bhai asked you to be with me, you didn't bother to find out what my problem was. And still, I thought that you'll always be by my side.."
Sharon looked at Rey. He never told her about that day. She was confused, a bit. Rey kept looking at Taani, his face became red 'cause of anger. He couldn't believe Taani said all this.. "Problem? What could your problem be, huh? You suddenly became selfish 'coz you had some problem? Tell me then, what is it?" he said, stepping forward.
"Ab batane ki toh baat hi nahi uthti, Rey. Jab tab aapne itni concern nahi dikhayi toh ab achanak kyun?"
There was silence for a moment. No one spoke. Rey was now thinking if he really didn't support her when she needed him. He was confused, guilt taking over him. But Taani, she was getting out of the happy world she was living in since the last 24 hours. Really, happiness never stayed with her for a long time. She decided that it was time. She too had self respect. Why should she be with a guy who least cared about her? Who said that he loved her but she always was the last choice for him. After his friends, after dance. She would no longer be with him. She knew she would always love him. She couldn't just forget him, could she? But right now, this was it! Her trust was always broken. First, those people who said to be her friends insulted her. Then, her bhai shouted at her just 'cause she spoke the truth. And now, Rey. How much could she face? She decided to live for herself, independent. Without depending upon others. Without Rey. In just those 2 minutes, she made the most crucial decision of her life. She finally broke the silence..
She said, stepping forward towards him, without any hesitation, "You know what, Rey. Aapko mere saath break up karne ki koi zaroorat nahi because main aapse break up kar rahi hun. It's over. Between you and me, it's over. I can't be with a person who doesn't love me. A person for whom I can do anything but he can't even.. Let it be. And please don't worry. Aaj ke baad I won't come in between you and your passion. I promise you that."
She turned toward Sharon and spoke, "Aur aapko bhai se kuch chipane ki zaroorat nahi hai. Main nahi chahati ki meri wajah se aap dono ke bich koi misunderstanding ho, because bhai iss waqt sahi state of mind mein nahi hai. Main nahi chahati ki meri wajah se unhe aur problem ho."
She turned around and started to leave. Her face reflecting all the emotions she was feeling. Anger, hurt, pain, sadness.. But she didn't cry. She didn't want to show that she couldn't live without him. She could, and she would prove it. She was about to exit when she turned around and spoke again, "And please, do think twice before you or any of your friends call me selfish. Ask them to look at themselves first and then say anything." She ran out of the room. She had to be alone for some time. She went towards the RH. No one would be there at this time.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Half an hour later - The Rehearsal Hall
She sat there, dressed in a red anarkali suit. Traces of dry tears evident on her face. She had controlled herself in front of Rey and Sharon. But you can't hide pain for a long time. At least not from yourself. She couldn't stop her tears from flowing. She went back in time and remembered all she had faced since she had come to Mumbai. The Boycott Taani Mission, being in a fake relationship with Shivam, becoming the GS of the college, facing all the rudeness just 'cause she wanted to help the gang in the dance ban, getting insulted for going against Rey's so called ideologies, putting herself and her self respect at stake just to protect Rey, Rey's rejection, Swayam not even speaking to her.. She never realized that she had faced so much! Everytime something bad happened with her she would just go on doing things which would only help others. She never thought for herself, and that was a big mistake.. "Why should I be at the sacrificing end always?" she asked herself. She stood up, and went in the middle of the hall.
[ Listen to the song - http://www.saavn.com/popup/psong-BckJuW28.html ]
*music*
She started dancing on the tune, trying to vent out all her pain. She began with some classical steps. She was graceful even when she was in this state. All her moves had a beauty and a grace in them.
O Re Piya, haye..
O Re Piya
O Re Piya, haye
O Re Piya
O Re Piya, haye
O Re Piya
She remembered the day when he had confessed his love for her. It was, no doubt, the most beautiful day of her life. Her dream had come true. After all the pain she had gone through, he had finally admitted his feelings.. But now she wished that it shouldn't have ever happened. If at all she knew that she'll have to see this day then she would have done everything to go away from him.. The pain she felt now, was way more than the pain she had felt then.. This was becoming unbearable for her.
Udne laga kyun,
Mann bawala re,
Aaya kahan se,
Yeh hausla re..
O Re Piya
O Re Piya, haye
She danced freely, away from the world, in her own world. In the sorrow and pain. She danced what she loved to, classical. Her eyes were filled with tears, but she didn't stop. She wanted to wash all her pains away, anyhow. She couldn't take it anymore.
*music*
She made her shoulders move in sync with the beats of the music.
Tana bana tana bana,
Bunti hawa, haye, bunti hawa,
She made her hands move as if they were waves of water, balancing her weight just on her right leg.
Bunde bhi toh aaye nahi, baaz yahan, haye
Sajhish mein shaamil, saara jahan hai,
She remembered the rude comments against her on the college website. Her courage broke a bit more remembering those comments.
Har zarre zarre ki, yeh iltaja hai,
She danced to show how each atom of hers was in pain, but at the same time burning with anger too.
O Re Piya
O Re Piya, haye
O Re Piya, haye
O Re Piya
And then she made some mudras with her hands while dancing in sync with the song, her ghungrus making a melodious sound.
ni re ,re re ga
ga ga ma
ma ma pa
pa ma ga re sa
sa re re sa
ga ga re
ma ma ga
pa pa ma
dha dha pa
ni ni sa sa pa
pa sa ma pa dha ni sa ni
re ni sa sa sa.. . . . ..
She danced all around the RH, emotively. She started doing rapid spins at the end.
Nazrein bole duniya bole,
She hid her face with her palm so that only her eyes could be seen.
Dil ki zuban, haye, dil ki zuban,
She took a spin and sat on the floor, in posture.
Ishq mange, ishq chahe,
Koi toofan..
She danced a bit sitting on the floor, trying to convey the pain love gives to one. She stood up the very next moment, when the music changed.
Chalna aahiste, ishq naya hai,
She moves towards the middle of the RH while dancing, slowly.
Pehla yeh vaada, humne kiya hai,
She remembers the promise she made to Rey just about an hour ago. Tears flow down her eyes.
O Re Piya, haye
O Re Piya, haye
O Re Piya
Yeh Piya
Taani was so lost in dancing that she didn't even notice that Swayam was there, outside the RH, looking at her. She was just lost. Swayam on the other hand was surprised to see Taani dance like this. He couldn't see her crying. He just stood there and watched her dance.
*music*
Taani continued dancing. Her movements were slow yet impactful. It seemed as if they were speaking, as if each and every movement of hers had something to say.
Nange pairo pe angare,
Chalti rahi, haye, chalti rahi
Tears were flowing down her eyes, uncontrollably. She danced to show the pain she was feeling as if she walking bare foot on lighted coal.
Lagta hai ki gairo mein main,
Palti rahi, haye,
She remembered how her 'friends' had insulted her just because she wasn't a dancer. Her face showed her regret. She regretted the fact that she had trusted them. That she even thought that they were her friends.
Le chal wahan jo, mulk tera hai,
Jhahil zamana, dushman mera hai,
She wanted to go away from this place. The place where no one understood her. Where everyone was against her and spoke ill of her. She was tired of all this. Enough was enough. This was when Swayam noticed tears in her eyes. He, who was leaning on the wall besides him until now, stood straight. His mouth open in a small o shape.
O Re Piya, haye x 5
She danced weakly now. Not able to bear it any longer. Not able to hold back her tears anymore. Fresh tears formed in her eyes. She stopped suddenly and fell to the floor.
O Re Piya x 2
She fell to the floor and started crying hysterically. Swayam was shocked seeing this. Why was she crying, like this?
In no time, he ran towards her and hugged her. She was shocked at first, but when she realized that it was her bhai, she hugged him back, tightly. She cried more while hugging him. Swayam tried to break the hug but Taani didn't let him..
"Taani, hua kya hai? Look at me." Swayam said.
Taani broke the hug and wiped her tears. Swayam looked at her face. She looked all pale and lifeless. His concern grew more.
"Taani, hua kya hai? Tum.. Tum aise ro kyun rahi ho? Please batao."
Taani looked up at him and said, "Bhai, aap.. Aapko bhi lagta hai kya ki main selfish hun? Matlabi hun? Aap bhi yahi sochte ho na ki main, ki main sirf apne bare mein sochti hoon?"
"Shsh, Taani! Main aisa kyun sochunga? Tumhe ho kya gaya hai? Aisa kyun bol rahi ho? Tum aise achanak se.."
"Achanak nahi, bhai!" Taani almost shouted. "Achanak nahi. *pause* Mujh mein jo change aaya, ya jo aap sab ko lag raha hai ki main hyper ho gayi hoon, selfish ho gayi hoon, sabke saath bossy behave kar rahi hoon, unn sab ka reason hai. Mujhe koi shauk nahi hai sabke saath rudely baat karne ka. Kuch reasons hai, bhai, mere bhi kuch problems hai! But koi samajhna hi nahi chahata. Sab log, sab log mujhe blame kar rahe hai. Main hi pagal hoon jo Tauji se jhoot bolne chali thi. Rey ke liye Tauji se jhoot bola maine jo ki mere liye mere papa jaise hai! Unke liye jo, jo shayad mujhse pyaar bhi nahi karte.."
"Taani, tum kya bol rahi ho? Aisa kya ho gaya jo tum.. Accha. Abhi ghar chalo. Hum kal subah baat karenge. Okay?" Swayam asked rising his eyebrows.
Taani nodded and they got up. Swayam wiped her tears away and gave a small smile to her. They went towards the door of the RH when Taani stopped Swayam and said, "Bhai. Please promise me ki kal sab kuch pata chalne ke baad hi aap react karenge. Aur meri wajah se aapke aur Sharon ya aapke friends ke bich koi problems nahi hongi. Please?"
Swayam looked at her, confused, but then agreed, "I promise. Ab chalo, you need to rest."
Taani nodded and they headed towards their home, wondering what tomorrow had in store for them. Some new challenges, some new problems or the end to all these problems?
