"Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky."
"Love is a feeling completely bound up with color, like thousands of rainbows superimposed one on top of the other."
This is just a short story about two individuals who were living their unpretentious lives...until one day their life took a steep turn wherein they failed to understand the colours of LOVE...

Part 1
Sona was still busy with her patients when she received another call from Dev, it was not a big surprise for her. She was now familiar with Dev's phone calls, his complaints.
It was almost one year now but there was no change in Dev and his attitude. She was completely fed up and wanted to end this once and for all
"Why are you calling me Mr Dixit...I have nothing to do with you.
I have given you my resignation letter. So please let me stay in peace"
She excused her patients and fled towards the hallway near to her room...
After a long argument finally she hung up the call.
It was usual for her,
"Can I get one coffee" she picked up the receiver of the phone on her desk...
Sona reminisced the day when she first met Mr Dev Dixit... a young entrepreneur... a very successful business man, loving and caring Son.
But when it came to love...he was rude and harsh.
It was she who proposed the nerd and now she was feeling like slapping herself for putting herself so low in front of him.
She is an independent woman, who is least bothered about a snob. Gently she picked up her purse and looked at the dried flower...she had kept her first flower that Dev gave her.
She never cried in her life than in the last one month since she left him.
She would hide the tears from her family, and especially from her father. He would guess instantly.
She knew her family had given her enough time. But now she will listen to whatever they say.
She will marry any person they choose for her.
Life was not so simple for her...after all that happened between her and Dev...She cursed herself for giving herself completely to him, for giving all her firsts to that man who doesn't deserve her.
Sona recalled the nights she spent with him...all his love making.
It was absolutely not easy for her to forget those moments...She wiped the tears from her eyes before sipping the coffee. Day and night these thoughts were killing her...
She saw his calls and disconnected again and again... this must be the twentieth time he was calling her...but she wouldn't give a heed.
Sona looked at the clock...it was 5pm. She packed up her things and left for home...
"Sona we all are going for the pooja. Just lock the door"
Her mother knew she was exhausted from work and going on a late night pooja would make her wearier...
She nodded and hastily bolted the door from inside...she made sure to turn all the lights off... day or night both were restless but nights now had become more torturous. She shut her eyes tightly...
After few minutes she woke up by the phone call... she picked up the phone with her eyes still closed...
"Sona..."
Her eyes wide opened at his voice... another instance she disconnected the call.
She tried to get back to her sleeps... When she heard a little noise. Without bothering much she tried to sleep.
When she rolled on the other side she felt her mouth covered by strong hands, so she couldn't make any noise.
Damn, she knew it was him. She knows his touch by now. But what does he want now...
"Don't scream" he whispered then kissed her earlobe making her fall for him again...
His warm breathe tickled near her ear... she shook her head in assurance
"Why have you come here" she hissed at Dev...
But the moment her eyes fell on him...she couldn't believe, it was her Dev. He looked so tired, as if he had been working for so long. Plus he didn't shave...the stubble had grown a little.
"To talk" he whispered getting her out of thought...
She frowned again crossing her arms "but I don't want to put myself into a new argument Mr Dixit..."
"Do you think I am arguing Ms Bose" he snapped
"Enough Mr Dixit...just leave from here" she pointed towards the door
Dev was now getting infuriated at Sonakshi...how can she talk to him like this?
He hold her and twisted her arm at her back "don't you talk to me like that..." he whispered angrily...
Sona couldn't bear the pain anymore...she cried "you're hurting me"
He pushed her away and was about to leave when he looked back at the thin frame leaning against the wall crying bitterly "I hate you Dev" she murmured...
"And I believe that you never loved me" he opened the door and stepped out...
Few days later...
Sona saw a wedding invitation card on her desk...the moment she opened the card, tears gathered around her eyes...so he was getting married.
She closed her eyes and remembered all the moments she spent with him...
--------------------------------------------------
First time when she proposed him...
"Mr Dev...i...i..."
Dev was confused... "How long do you want Ms Bose? I am waiting from last ten minutes...I am getting late"
"That's ok...You can go..."
"Ok"...
That day Sona was so restless...she finally made up her mind to confess her feelings...she was prepared.
She walked to his office. "Tina...I have a very important meeting with Mr Dixit. Please don't let anyone disturb us"
Tina smiled "I know...you go ahead"
Sona smiled back...
"May I come in" she peeped from the door...
Dev frowned a little "you, here Ms Bose...everything alright"
"No...Umm...I mean yes..." she smiled at him...
Something came in her mind and she closed her eyes...
"I want to say something...after ten months, two days five hours. I want to confess that I...I love you Dev" she opened one eye first to see his reaction... then opened the other eye...
Dev had no expressions on the face... Sona was now scared. She would lose him. Even little dreams that she made few days back thinking about this nerd will all vanish.
She shouldn't have admitted to him. Instead it would have been better to keep this love in her heart.
Rather than facing such emotionless man...
She looked elsewhere and was about to leave "Ms Bose"
She turned around "how dare you"
This time her hands were cold. She said something for the first time in her life. He came closer...
her heart was in her mouth. Another step, she tried to step back and her back collided with the door...
"I...I am so"
"You should be sorry"... he commanded
She wasn't surprised...half of her brains was thinking something like this...
"Mr Dev...I am..."
Suddenly she saw him so closer ...his hands grazed her fingers and slowly grasped them tightly... The squeeze almost made her feeble...
She couldn't make out was he going to blow her...or... she was still thinking when his eyes dropped on her lips...
Another second he placed his lips on hers... The electrifying current ran through her body... this was the first time her body felt so close to someone.
His hands grabbed her tiny waist and her hands encircled his strong shoulder...
it was a light kiss... Few seconds later he looked at her "I love you Sona".
Shyly she looked away...
---------------------------------------------------
She picked up the wedding card and tear in pieces... "What do you expect me to do Mr Dixit?"
She wanted to call him and yell at him for what he was doing. First he emotionally made her crazy about him and now he's marrying someone else...
She quickly dialed his number
"Why are you doing this?" she yelled over the phone
"This tone won't help" he disconnected the call
She called him again "how dare you Dev... you cannot marry Natasha"
"Why not?"
"Stop fooling yourself and me Dev...don't forget that"
She cried and disconnected the phone
She remembered the day when
-------------------------------
It was Neha's wedding... Everything was getting ready for the day. Dev was happy for his sister's wedding.
It was the evening function, a day before the marriage... Dev was still in the shower when Ishwari, Dev's Mother asked everyone to gather in the lawn for the sangeet...
Few minutes later Sona arrived at the house...it was beautifully decorated. She glanced around for everyone...then sneaked to Dev's room...
He had just come out of shower... he looked at her from top to bottom
"You look different today" he gazed at her blouse and the long skirt...
she looked extremely beautiful in the traditional outfit...
He came closer... his fingers grazed her fair waist... "I am leaving" she whispered softly
"You can't"
He held her tightly in his arms... "Why?" she whispered
Without giving much heed he kissed her on the neck... she closed her eyes
------------------------------------------
Every passing minute was killing her...how could he marry someone else? How could he play with her life... she wanted to kill herself for loving such a man...
she still remembered the day when she broke all her relationships with him...
She finally decided to leave all this and shift to Mumbai. That would be best for her... she would meet him for the last time to say good bye.

Will continue soon :)
