PART ONE
(SHORT UPDATE)
"Yeh, kya kar rahee hai tu?" He demanded
She closed her eyes, kneeling by the cliff, how did he find her? She asked herself, knowing the answer was, exactly as she had found him on the beach that day.
"Aap..." was all she could manage at first. "Kyun aaye hai yahaan?" she asked courageously.
His face contorted, angrily running his hands through his hair, he advanced swiftly towards her, determination written across his face.
He wrenched her up, his hands gripping her arms tightly, his eyes flashing. Visibly in pain, she yanked herself free, taking slow steps backwards, tears forming in her eyes and her heart thudding in her chest.
"Prachi…" Milind said suddenly, jerking forward he grasped at her again, pulling her close, his arms enclosing around her tightly. Another step and she would have been down the cliff…
She stood limp against his firm body. She stared determinedly at anything but him, her breathing ragged against his chest.
"Kyun aaye hai aap Milind?" She asked again, her eyes lifeless.
His hands went to her face, cupping her cheeks gently; he bought his face dangerously close to hers. Her eyes widened in fear, she closed them, shaking.
"Kyun?" he whispered, "Dekhne aaya tha ke mereko barbaad kar ke, kitne khush hai tu…" he pushed her away from him roughly, "lekin yeh kya, aur natak, aur nautanki." He laughed bitterly.
She shivered, feeling the onset of rain before the drops hit her skin, mingling with her tears…
"Dekh liya?" Prachi shouted, above them the leaves rustled and thunder clapped. Milind looked at her curiously, how dare she? Her audacity infuriated him. "Aare dekhne ko tune choda hi kya hai? Sub kuch to tune mujse cheen liya hai."
"Maine cheena? Aap se? Loot to meri duniya gaye hai" Prachi grabbed his collar, their bodies almost touching as the rains burst upon them "kiya to sirf aap ke liye, jiye to sirf aap ke liye, meri galti kya ti Milind? Maine aap ko, aap ke parivaar ko, aap ki khushi, gaam, waafai, bewaafai sub ko aapna mana." She gasped, breathing past her tears; she ploughed on, drawing on her newfound courage, loosening her grip on him.
"Bardaast nahi hota aab Milind, kya karu main? Kitne baar safai du aap ko? Mujse pyaar karne ka daawa kiya tha na aap ne…Ek hi baar main bharosa toot gaya Milind? Mera bharosa toot jaye to kuch nahi." She stopped. She knew he wasn't aware of her knowledge of the night he had spent with Ayesha.
Milind stared at her, unsure of what to say, he wondered who was standing in front of him. He felt powerless, his resolution to hurt her, crush her, like she had done to him, waned. What had she just said? She couldn't possibly know. He pushed the thought from his mind and opened his mouth to speak.
"Jo Ankaha hai hamare beech, who maine to mehus kiya, lekin aapne meri mujburi kyun nahi sumhji?" Prachi demanded.
