TS: without you epilogue added on page 18 - Page 8

dev with ishwari, RR and his sisters came in a shopping mall.on other side sona was also there with her family. RR saw asha and bijoy there,went to taunt them but little did she know that this time they are not gonna listen like before.

Bijoy told asha to leave but she came forward and said nomashkar kaisi hai aap? are mai bhul gayi thi aap to achi hi hogi dev dixit paise aur aram to pahucha hi raha hoga aaptak. Ha meri sona ko bahut acha ladka Mila hai.par apko kaise pata? Lagta hai aap apne ghar se jyada dusro ke ghar me jhankti hai hai na? oho bura mat maniyega par apke pas to koi ghar hi nahi hai.

Are wo ghar hi hamara ghar hai akhir dev hamara hi to bachha hai. RR said making faces

Everyone came there from dev's family sourav and Elena from Bose family. Dev saw them wanted to go and hug them but couldn't. his eyes were searching for her. his heart wanted to see her once but at the same time he was hoping against it because he knew if she will be in front of his eyes he will loose his self control.

han Ji hamara parivar hai hi itna bara aur acha ki log to hamse rishta jodne ke liye taraste hai.aur fir meri jiji se achi maa koi hai kya? dekhiye Na dev kaise har waqt unka hath pakad ke chalta hai.RR said pointing towards holding hands of dev and ishwari.

All were listening with lowered gaze.

Bhabhi rehne dijiye Na chaliye yaha se ishwari asked.

Are nahi rukiye sahi keh rahi hai aap hamne apne bachhe ko pankh diye hai taki wo khule aasman me ud sake aur roj nayi heights ko chhu sake.hamne unhe is layak banaya hai ki wo apne faisle khud le sake.ham unke faisle nahi lete par ha hamesa unke sath unki dhaal banke jarur khare rehte hai. Ham kabhi unke raste ka roda nahi bante aur Na hi apne matlab ke liye unke pankh katte hai.mujhe to aise bachho ke liye bahut bura lagta hai jinke sath ye sab hota hai asha said last line seeing dev.she came forward and put her hand on dev's head saying khush raho. Dev bend down his head and closed his eyes to feel such motherly love after ages he looked at asha and slightly nodded his head with moist eyes and a faint smile.asha smiled back with moist eyes.

Hamara dev to khush hi rahega Ji aap apni beti ka dekho RR said in an irritated tone.they were about to leave when they heard a voice unki beti bhi hamesa khush rahegi apko chinta karne ki jarurat nahi hai.

Dev's heart skipped few beats after hearing her melodious voice after two long years.he turned and saw her.she was looking beautiful like always but her smile was not there and wait she was with anshu holding her hands with his.sona saw him before and all memories of them started flashing in her mind like a slide show.he was looking pale,he was not that dev anymore she noticed his hands with his mother and listened taunts of RR. her anger overpowered her pain for a moment and she controlled her tears, held hands of anshu and walked straight to them.He was staring at her with moist eyes while she was coming forward.all members of dixit family saw her first and then looked at dev, he was lost in her. Kya kaha tune bangalan?

Acha to ise fasaya hai is bar Han. All of dixits tried to shut RR up but couldn't. Dev was still lost in her.

Sona nahi sonu mai sirf aur sirf tumhari sonu hu aur kisi ki nahi she said looking at dev.their eyes met for a second and she again looked at anshu fearing her eyes will reveal her heart to him.

Tumhe apne gharwalo se to nahi puchna parta na promise pura karne se pehle kyunki Maine aise bhi ladke dekhe hai jo promise karne se pehle to gharwalo ki marji nahi puchte par pura karne se pehle puchte hai.Dev felt like someone stabbed him hard in his heart. Anshu looked at dev and felt so bad for him chalo sona yaha se chalo. Sona looked at ishwari with a disappointed look before leaving.ishwari lowered her gaze.sona couldn't gather that courage to look at dev again. Dixit family were watching them leaving.

It was getting hard to control tears for both of them.both excused themselves and went to washroom.

Sona in women's washroom started crying uncontrollably.sorry dev I am sorry mai janti hu ki aaj maine apka dard aur badha diya par mai kya karti? Mai apke samne kamjor nahi parna chahti thi.kam se kam ab aap mujhse gussa to ho jayege, sayad mujhse nafrat kar payege to aap apni jindagi me age badh payege.aap sabke samne jitne bhi strong ban jaye par mujhe pata hai ki aap bahut rote hoge akele me par waha apke sath koi nahi hota hoga. mai apse rude rahugi to aap mujhe bhul payege aur wahi apke liye sahi hai.mujhe maaf kar dijiye dev mujhe maaf kar dijiye.

Dev in men's washroom was crying uncontrollably tumne Jo kaha wo bilkul sach kaha par fir bhi itna dard kyun ho raha hai sonu.tum to ab meri sonu nahi rahi ye mai janta tha par fir bhi tumhe uske sath dekhke dard kyun ho raha hai? tumne sahi kaha ki maine apna ek bhi promise nahi nibhaya aur mai yahi deserve karta hu. agar tum yahi chahti ho to thik hai mai kabhi tumhare rashte me nahi aauga.agar tum khush ho to mai bhi tumhari khushi me khush rahuga.

Both came out from their respective washroom at the same time,saw each other.their eyes were red and puffy because of excessive crying.their eyes met for few seconds and they could see their heart full of pain. Both started walking towards each other unknowingly and stopped very close to each other, so close that they could feel each other breath and could listen each other's heartbeat. Both were looking in eyes of each other.both forgot what they decided moments ago and tears started rolling on cheeks from both end

Kyun sonu? Oh sorry mere liye to sonu nahi hai Na kyunki tum to ab kisi aur ki sonu ban gayi ho hai Na? To mere liye sona hai ya Dr. Bose hai ya Mrs muk... He couldn't complete his last word. Sona caressed his face like remembering his every feature all over again.dev closed his eyes feeling her touch after these years, new tears formed and found their way. Dev held her hands in his sonu kya tumhare liye itna asan tha kisi aur ka ho Jana, mujhe bhul jana.

Sona gave a faint smile still looking in his eyes.

He started crying vigorously and crashed on the floor, sona also Sat with him. Pata hai sonu jab tumhari yad ati hai Na to bahut dard hota hai par mujhe pata hi nahi ki us dard ko kam kaise karu. Mere pas koi dava hi nahi sayad kyunki meri dava to tum ho na sonu. tumhare bina to mai saans bhi nahi le pata,pata nahi jinda kaise hu, pata nahi hu bhi ya nahi.tumhare pas to ek family hai, Kuch ache dost hai par mera to sab Kuch tum thi sonu aur ab jab tum nahi to mera Kuch bhi nahi, Kuch bhi nahi. Bahut Akela hu mai sonu bahut Akela

He put his head in her lap crying and she put her head on his saying mujhe pata hai dev mujhe pata hai ki aap bahut akele ho par mai Kuch kar bhi to nahi Sakti. Both were crying in each other arms forgetting about their surroundings their current situation. Both got reminded of their surroundings when a man who had to clean the floor told them to get up. Both composed themselves and stood up. Both walked to a near corner holding each other.

I think it's time to leave dev said.

Both chuckled between tears.dev remain quiet for sometime and then smiled a bit.

Sonu ekdum se khayal a raha hai ki tumhare bachhe kitne cute hoge Na agar tum pe gaye to I wish tum pe hi Jaye us.. pe... n..nahi... ek adh ka nam dev rakh lena sayad unhe dekh ke mujhe yad karo ...nahi nahi aisa mat karna bilkul mat karna kahin mere naam ke sath meri kishmat bhi na mil jaye unhe. He became quiet again.

both were crying again holding each other.

Sona couldn't take it more and hugged him tight he also took her in a bone crushing hug. After sometime they broke the hug and dev held her face in his palms and his lips touched her forhead,she closed her eyes feeling his touch.they caressed each other's face and closed their eyes like memorizing their features and keeping it safe somewhere inside.

After opening eyes sona told him dev Bas bahut ho gaya rona dhona chalo ab chup ho jao.dev too opened his eyes .sona wiped his tears and said dev dekho meri taraf bahut saal ho gaye tumhe smile karte hue dekhe ek bar smile kar do na please mere liye.

Mujhe bhi bahut saal ho gaye khud ko smile karta hua dekhe sayad mai bhul gaya hu smile karna par tum smile karo tumhe dekh ke sayad meri bhi wapas a jaye. Sona smiled

Ye wali nahi meri sonu wali Badi wali and he stretched her lip's ends with his fingers.sona smiled widely after years she had her genuine smile and suddenly a wide smile spread on his face too after years. Both laughed a little holding each other face and their forehead met with other's

I love you too.you will be in my heart forever.

They saw each other for the last time with a smile and moved in opposite directions.

They knew they can't be together forever but they got their strength in these few minutes with each other to face their fate,to face the world again.
