Here's a one shot based on the solo version of the song Kyun from Kambakkht Ishq. Give it a listen if you have time! 😊 Oh yes before anyone points out that Delhi doesn't have a beach...I put them in Mumbai, I'm more familiarized with it 😳
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Heer walked along the beach still reflecting over everything she had just seen. She was going to the airport to pick up her client and as she ran through the airport she didn't know when but her dupatta escaped from the place on her shoulder. She turned and when she saw where it landed her heartbeat accelerated.
Kyun Pholon Ke
Khile Khile Rang Ud Gaye
Color flashed away from her eyes as the person pulled the dupatta away from his face and looked at it and then up at the owner.
She saw the flash of surprise in his eyes followed by the happiness; but she didn't see him smile not the way he used to. Even the twinkle was missing from his perfect chocolate eyes.
"Heer?" She had heard someone calling her from behind but couldn't bring herself to tear her eyes away from him. It was her Prem, walking towards her after all these years. He silently handed her the dupatta, while still staring at each other' faces as if wanting to memorize the change from 6 years ago.
"Heer!" She heard again. Her shoulders were pulled away to face Yuvraj's smiling face. She forced herself to smile as she couldn't help but keep the corner of her eyes on Prem. She saw the hurt form in his eyes when Yuvraj claimed her in a hug, ecstatic over his upcoming nuptials.
Kyun In Dino
Khud Se Rehti Hoon Mein Khafa Khafa
Khafa Khafa
She didn't want to be hugging him in front of Prem but somehow she could see a reflection of the hurt her had left in her eyes that day six years ago when she had seen Ashlesha in bed with him. Her husband.
She continued walking until she stopped at a flower stand.
Kyun Pholon Ke
Khile Khile Rang Ud Gaye
She picked up a single red rose—just like the ones he had given her so many years back.
She held it to her nose, hoping to inhale the sweet scent and take her mind off of the problems but nothing worked; she couldn't forget the moment at the airport.
"Heer yeh hai Prem Juneja. Mera naya dost. Aur Prem yeh hain..."
"Heer...jaanta hoon," She died the moment he said her name. If Yuvraj's arm wasn't around her she would have fainted for sure. In those few minutes she had to analyze his voice she concluded that he was tired and in pain and all in all just angry with life—but right now the expression on his face changed from the happiness to a sour sort of look.
"Tumhe shaadi mein aana hi hoga," Yuvraj took Prem's hand and shook it.
Prem glanced at him and then back at Heer. "Koshish karunga,"
She could feel his piercing gaze linger over her for a few more moments until she felt dead again as he turned on his heel and left; out of her life again.
Jaane Kaise Mulaqaton Mein
Yunhi Aisi Waise Baaton Mein
Kaare Chote Mote Vaadein The
Issi Chote Se Bahane Se
Paa Ke Tujhe Kho Diya
He walked behind the pillar at the airport. Was she really the same girl he was married to 6 LONG years ago? So much had changed—she looked happier now than she ever had with him. The hurt your family caused her made her become stronger. He told himself as he continued walking back in the airport before collapsing onto the chair.
Meri Hi Hai Khata
Meri Hi Hai Saza
Phir Bhi Dil Kahe
Yeh Kyun Hua
This was the main reason he didn't want to come back to India. She was here. This was HER land. He was an intruder into her life and he had no right after everything had happened to trespass into her life. She was happier without him. With Yuvraj he corrected himself. She was the one he was so thrilled to be marrying.
Who wouldn't be happy to be marrying Heer? She was perfect. HE was the one who ruined his chances in a moment's time.
Kyun In Dino
Khud Se Rehta Hoon Mein Khafa Khafa
Khafa Khafa
She had turned into his old Heer again; the one who would laugh and smile and be without a single worry. His family and he had taken that all away from her. He couldn't help but curse himself for ruining everything between them. His life would be perfect right now. He'd have his amazing wife—maybe they'd even have kids by now, he smiled at the thought.
Kyun Pholon Ke
Khile Khile Rang Ud Gaye
"Chalo na Heer—kya dekh rahi ho?" Yuvraj dragged her away from the spot where she stood still. Her Prem was here with her. In India why was he taking her away—she needed to feel his presence there. Smell his distinct scent.
She could see that Yuvraj was saying something but her ears were blocked. She wasn't happy about him being here yet she wasn't angry either. She wanted to see him again despite what her brain answered. Her heart needed to see the reason it was beating.
"Yuvraj—tum ghar jao. Main thodi der main aati hoon," She told him as she stepped out of the taxi and started walking in the moonlight.
Dhuan Dhuan Si Kahani Hai
Daabi Aakhon Mein Bhi Paani Hai
Gaalon Se Yeh Jo Guzarti Hai
Tere Gham Ki Nishani Hai
Mit Si Gayi Har Dua
Tears started falling down her cheeks as she furiously tried to brush them away. She quickly went to a bench and stood there alone on the chandni night, silently watching the waves crash against the beach.
There were times in the past six years where she hated making that decision to leave Prem. He was the only one who her heart would beat for yet their hearts weren't connected like they were before. He wasn't HER Prem now. Ashlesha had snatched him away from her.
Meri Hi Hai Khata
Meri Hi Hai Sazaa
Phir Bhi Dil Kahe
Yeh Kyun Hua
As she looked back up at the moon her wet tears shining brightly on her face, she knew that at some place in the same city—he was doing the same thing.
Seeing him again one last time was what she needed. She felt complete now. Just like he had always said to her. Heer to Prem ka prateek hain aur Prem sabse zyaada Heer mein hi samaya hain
Kyun In Dino
Khud Se Rehti Hoon Mein Khafa Khafa
Khafa Khafa
He was actually thinking of going to Yuvraj's wedding but now there was no way he could go. Seeing his Heer belong to someone else was not something he was strong enough to face.
Kyun Pholon Ke
Khile Khile Rang Ud Gaye
They both watched the shining mood in different parts of the same city; wishing there was some way the past 6 years hadn't happened.
She wished she had let him stop her from getting on the train.
He wished he had the guts to follow her wherever she decided to go; he would have made everything alright.
Kyun Pholon Ke
Khile Khile Rang Ud Gaye
But those were all wishes. Kyun was a question that couldn't always be answered.
How was it? 😳 I've totally fallen in love with this song and so I had to put it into my own way! 😛 Hope you guys all liked it! 😳 Thanks again to Radzie *hugs* who proofed it for me! 😳
