Chapter 4
Akash came to her and said "Actually... Mahima bhi DIB ke liye Kam karti thi Meri Tarah.. Wo.."
Ananya's eyes widened in shock & she asked him "Kya? tum ye kya Kar Rahe ho akash?"
Akash replied "Haan ananya ye Sach hai aur Mahima ki diary jo tumhare paas thi, it was not a normal diary... it has a camera and a memory chip which had very crucial proof related to our mission,wo diary hi Mahima ki death ki Vajah thi..."
Ananya asked "Whattt?? Lekin tumhein Kaise Pata wo diary mere paas thi?"
Akash replied "I had called Megha she told me everything aur mai tumhein itna toh janta hi hoon ki tum wo diary kisi bhi family member ko nahi dogi jo shefali ki Vajah se disturb the "
Ananya was amused "Tumhein to sab Pata hota hai, hai na.. Wait... wo.. wo diary toh maine Kunal ko de di... oh my God that means.. "
Akash interrupted "Nahi ananya, uss din jab mai airport pe tum se mila Tha tab mere hi aadmi ne tumhe dhakka diya tha aur tab wo diary Maine same dikhnewali dusari diary se exchange Kar di thi, so jo diary tum ne Kunal ko di wo nakli thi..."
he continued wid heavy heart ... "Mujhe maaf Kar do ananya, Maine apne mission ke liye tumhara use kiya..par mere paas aur koi option hi nahi tha! Tumse Nazdeeki... "
Ananya's expressions again changed to sad one!!She looked at him wid extreme disbelief and didn't wait to listen further!! She just closed her eyes tightly and went away to the another corner of d terrace!!
Those last words of akash broke her from inside.. Tears started falling down unstoppably frm her eyes.
Akash ran behind her "Ananya..." he grabbed her wrist,she turned to him.. her eyes were reflecting so much pain & a light shade of hate also...
she said in Agony "Iska Matlab hai, wo dosti..wo concern... wo hasi-mazak..sab Kuch... wo... wo sab Kuch bhi ek jhoot Tha?...ek..ek dikhava Tha?hai na akash?" she laughed sadly & said "Mai toh sirf ek zariya thi tumhari manzil ke Kareeb Jane ka, aur mai Pata nahi kya soch rahi thi"
Akash was feeling very helpless, he was just not able to understand how to explain her, his actual condition, he hold her both hands "Nahi Ananya... nahi... Bilkul nahi... tum galat samajh rahi ho"
She struggled to free herself, but he strengthened his grip, finally after lot of failed efforts she bursted "Leave me Akash"
Akash realised that how strongly he had held her and he left her hands wid Jerk and she cared her hands and looked at him confusingly and said "Mujhe Pata hai ki ye sab tumhari duty thi... I respect your duty Akash... but Mera kya kosoor hai iss sab mein.. mujhe kyon saza de Rahe ho?" she rubbed her cheek to wipe tears!
Akash was slowly understanding that it was not as easy to make things normal, as he had thought!
He took a deep breath & started speaking his heart out "I know Pichle Kuch Dino Maine tum se jis Tarah se behave kiya, I won't expect ki tum mujhe kabhi maf karogi, par plz ekbar Meri bat sunlo... please..."
She didn't say anything, so akash again pleaded "Plz ananya... sirf ek bar... plz!! Iske bad tum jo bhi kahogi mujhe manzur hoga!!" she was again silent but just nodded in affirmation.
Akash was slightly relieved! He continued "Ananya Meri concern...mera hasi-mazak...hamari dosti...wo sab Zara sa bhi dikhava nahi Tha. Infact Mai aaj bhi tumhari utni hi fikar karta hoon isiliye maine tum se rudely behave kiya kyonki yahi ek tarika tha tumhein mujhse se dur rakhneka...Mai nahi chahta Tha ki Meri Vajah se tumhari Jan ko koi khatara ho...kyonki...kisi bhi keemat pe Mai tumhein kho nahi sakta Ananya.. " His voice choked in his throat!
She was moved by d pain in his eyes... she had never seen this facet of Akash. Suddenly she got flashbacks that how passionately he had hugged her after rescuing her in Jaipur, though she was upset right now but at that time somewhere in her heart, she had felt his genuine concern!
He was in such a vulnerable state that he would collapse anytime, "Tum nahi janti ananya ki jitna Dard tumhein hua hai, utna hi Dard mujhe bhi hua hai,jitni bar Meri Vajah se tumhari Aakhon mein aansu aaye hai, har bar Maine apne aap ko kosa hai, Maine kabhi bhi itna mjboor mehsus nahi kiya!
Ananya's heart was melting in his sincere confessions but her brain was holding her back! Her heart wanted to believe him blindly but her mind was not letting her forget those painful moments!
The strong man who fought wid innumerable dangers, today was feeling so weak but somehow he got hold of himself said wid d smile which can touch anyone's heart "U know Ananya uss din jab mai apne sudden holidays jo ki mere mission ka part the, unke bad vapas aaya Tha, aur airport pe tum mujhse mili, aur jab Maine tumhein dekha... I.. I never felt so much happy.. for one second I forgot that I'm on mission and all..u ran to me and was abt to hug me... but I forwarded my hand... believe me ananya I too wanted to hug u & tell u that how much I was happy seeing u after such long time... but again I was bound by my duty & a worry for u... "
He was telling all this wid so much emotions that tears again started brimming into ananya's eyes.. she was overwhelmed! Akash realised that he was getting very emotional!
There was an strange silence in between them.. so he said " I'm... I'm sorry..." he quickly wiped d lone tear that had rolled down from his eyes..
he sighed & continued "Mujhse dur rehne mein hi tumhari bhalayi hai ananya, isiliye Maine ye sab kiya lekin iss sab se tumhein jo Dard pohocha hai uss ke liye mai tum se dil se mafi mangta hoon... aur Meri bat sunne ke liye Shukriya...aaj itne Dino bad bahot halka mehsus ho raha hai... Thank u once again"
That was it, she couldn't take it anymore! Finally her heart won over her mind!
He turned to leave when she encircled her palm wid his and turned him towards her, he looked at her wid wet and surprised eyes and she said softly "Kahan ja Rahe ho Akash? Tumne toh apne dil ki sari batein Bata di, ab mujhe bhi toh ek mauka do Kuch kehena ka"
Akash's heart skipped a bit,he looked into her eyes and at least there was no any hate in her eyes anymore!
It was getting difficult for her to find right words to express so many emotions crowding her heart making her more nervous!
Their hearts were beating fast...the evening was getting darker & so as their feelings!!!
