Ok guys...
This is a normal, short and simple os which i am writing...
Rey was consoling his friend Prabhal who just lost his wife who was suffering with cancer. Prabhal was unable to cope up the tragedy though he knows very well that he should face such a day in his life, rey was not understanding how to manage his friend to bring him back to normal.
Coming to rey, he is married to a village girl Taani... but did not bother about her as their bonding was against his wish.
Coming to the present situation, Prabhal fell asleep and rey also slept after a tragic day in their life.
Taani was in their home alone nd rey was with prabhal in his home as he needs him now.
Next morning
Rey woke up nd found prabhal was not there in his place but a letter was there.
"Rey,
Tu mera sabse accha aur saccha dost hai. Aur main janta hu ki jo main bolne waala hu, usko leke tu bohot royega par mere paas doosra raasta bhi nahi hai.
Tu acche se jaanta hai ki mere aur asmita ka pyaar kaisa hai. We both lived for each other. Mujhe pata hone ke baad bhi usse cancer hai... maine usse shaadi ki... coz i loved her so much ki mujhe mere pyaar k saamne cancer kaafi choti lagi.
Me jaa raha hu yaar! Jis din maine shaadi ki asmi se... i promised her... i meant each nd every vow of our marriage. So i am going to her to fulfill my promise as her husband. Tujhe hamari dosti ki kasam agar kuch b karne ki socha b toh! May lord give you all happiness you deserve nd a happy loving family. May god bless my sister taani also... such diamonds are very rare. Dont ever loose her! Coz you dont kno d pain wen someone leaves you who survive for you nd love you!
Bye rey...
Tera best buddy
Prabhal..."
Rey broke down reading his letter.after an hour, He carefully kept it in his pocket and locked prabhal's home and left his home as he knew he wont come back!
Rey went to his home with a weak body and blood shot eyes. Taani opened the door for him, he entered without looking at her and sat in the sofa. Taani brought a glass of water and handed it to rey.
Rey simply pushed her hand which made the glass break into pieces.
Rey went to his bedroom.
Taani cleaned that place and went to her bedroom to sleep.
That night... there was a power cut. Taani got scared as darkness occupied her bedroom... claustrophobia made her breathless and sweat formed on her face... she soon went near to the window and slept on the floor where the moon light is there.
Rey did not sleep that night as he was still lost in prabhal's letter. When there was power cut, rey came out to drink some water nd he had to cross taani's room for that. Her bedroom door was slightly open and her heard gasps from that room. He felt weird and opened the door. He could only find his wife struggling for breath, she held her saree tightly in both her fists and was literally panting for breath. Now even the moon light was not visible as the sky became cloudy.
Rey's heart slid down into the pit of his stomach! He immediately went to her rescue and took her in his arms.
Taani! Look at me taani... open your eyes... taani look at me dammit!!! He pushed her towards himself and started to rub her back vigorously. He felt his heart will stop beating any moment!
Soon... she relaxed but fell unconscious. Rey cradled her head and neck in his arm and a tear drop fell on her cheek.
He hugged her tight nd started to sob. Flashes of asmi's death were in front of him. He tightened his grip on her back nd tuck his fingers in her curls.
He took her in his arms and laid her on the bed. He slept beside her staring at her face all night.
Soon power came, the fan & bed lamp were on. She started to breathe much easily now. And her body was at ease once the breeze from the fan started. Rey breath a sigh of relief.
But why did he get scared? Is it only because of prabhal's letter or am i seriously scared that she will leave me?
He dint sleep whole night... but at 7 o clock he got up from the bed and went to his room and got freshened up though his face was pale enough! He was clasping his watch and taani entered the room with a mug of coffee in her hand.
Rey was actually shirtless and heard taani's bangles sound. He turned around and taani was leaving from there as he was shirtless and he is going to yell on her.
R: taani!!!
Taani stopped but did not turn. The tray in her hand was shivering.
Rey went to her and turned her around..
T: wo... me... c... c... coffee dene aayi thi... par i am sorry. M... mujhe pata nahi tha ki aap shirt nahi pehne.. a.. aur maine knock bhi nahi kiya...
She was saying all this shivering and a tear escaped from her eyes due to the fear of him thinking he will shout at her.
Rey took the tray and he kept it aside and advanced towards her.
She was taking steps backwards and hit the wall. She was getting more scared nd rey held her by her shoulders. He normally does this when he is angry and clutches her arms tightly making her wince in pain but now...
He held her arms lightly, taani closed her eyes tight as if she is ready for the pain. But after few seconds she opened her eyes as he did not tighten his grip.
She saw rey's face was fully covered with his tears and taani's eyes widened in shock.
He pulled her onto his chest and dug his face in her crook of her neck.
His hand were embracing her one in her hair and one around her. He tightly locked her in such a way that he may lose her the next moment.
Taani slowly put her shivering hands on his shoulders... rey gently came out and cupped he face with one hand and sucked off her tears. Taani left her weight completely on rey as she went completely weak.
Rey kissed her forehead.
"Taani... me tumhare saath jeena chahta hu... apna har shaadi ka waada nibhana chahta hu... tum mujhe chorrke mat jao... me marr jaunga!"
Taani put her hand on his mouth. And they both hugged again starting a new life afresh.
