Ashu go straight to nidhi's place but he find it's locked not sure what to do or where to go! He wander and then make a move towards anjie's place .once He reach anjie's place and he knock and wait outside wishing that he will see nidhi, its been so long that he has last seen her, he cant wait to see and feel her near 'anjie open the door to find ashu at door, she look at him questioningly ..Sensing her confusion ashu speak "nidhi .is she here ..I came to see her !" hearing his voice simbha come running towards him, he don't know how elated he felt , he feel as if his heart will burst with happiness as simbha jump straight towards him and start licking his face 'He cuddle and ruffle his fur fondly .And look at anjie again for that she reply " Nidhi is not here , I don't know where she is ..Every evening she leave simbha here and go away.I don't know where.she never tell if I ask "ashu again feel so lost, he try to figure out where she must be , every evening ..Where will she go ? Suddenly something strike his mind..He grin and look at anjie happily and thank her ...Anjie call out just before he leave "Is everything fine sir ..I mean between you and nidhi!" Ashu nod his head and reply "yes anjie everything is fine 'I will go and get her, I know where she is "

Nidhi stand near edge, she look at empty sky, she feel empty too 'as tears trickle down her cheeks, she sigh hard! Her heart ache remembering the first time she met him. she remember the way his lips stretched into smile when he heard her calling him khadoos 'as memories came rushing towards her, she close her eyes and let it wash over her '.she give in as usual!

He park his car in haste and run towards open terrace, climbing 2 steps at once. he run ..There is something new in every step he takes. He run all the way by the time he reach terrace he left searching for breath.

He look around, there he find her..he saw her standing near the edge where he stood so long ago ,,where he first met her .Suddenly he speak " Its going to be painful death ..There is no guarantee that one die jumping from here..But I can help you if you want, I know better way to die" sensing her silence he continue "ohh you see its easy ,take a syringe pull the plunger , fill it with air and inject to wrist , vein which is connected to your artery will send air bubble and you will die in second..well that's what some one told me "

Nidhi shake her head to make sure that she is not dreaming..is he really here!! And then suddenly remembering something she look away angrily and speak "why you are here? Go to your fianc 'you shouldn't be here "

Ashu: well that's why I came here, to be with my fianc

Nidhi look around in confusion

Ashu: nidhi , what are you searching ?

Nidhi: your fianc ..mallika !

Ashu choke as he hear this " Mallika!! My what?..."

Nidhi: don't act , I know 'you pushed me out of your life because you are getting married to mallika

Ashu : who told you this ?

Nidhi : mallika of course , she told me the day when you throwed me out of your life !

Ashu sigh and make a mental note to kick mallika when he get back 😆😆

Ashu : and you believed it just like that ?

Nidhi : why not ? she is your frnd from childhood days , she is gorgeous , she is rich ..she is everything ..ashu cut her in between as he speak " but she is not you nidhi! She is not you '."

Nidhi: what do you mean?!

Ashu look lost for second, he don't know from where to start or how to make nidhi understand and then slowly he begin " nidhi , you know when I was in boarding school ..there was this boy 'he was thin as stick and he wore this thick galsses which was bigger than his face ..He used to stay at teachers quarters ..not like us in boarding school ..every morning his father or mother came to drop him to school. But he was in bad in studies , he was bad in sports ..he was bad in everything ..no one liked him in school ..all the boys gave him hard time by playing around and joking around him but in the end ..when he get back ..He looked happy , his thin face stretching to replace huge grin as his parents come to pick him up..all those years I envied him secretely..you know why ? he had something which I never had ..HOME! he had someone whom he can call his own , he had a place where he belong ..ashu gulp down his sob and continue "I always longed to belong somewhere, to someone ' same time I feared that I will never find such emotional security . .and then one day I met you ..you looked at me with so much love 'you understood me even before I voiced, you knew exactly when and what I want '.it was difficult not to love you ..not to adore you and then I am so used to you that I started missing you when you are not near ... I don't know how and when 'but all I can say today that I love you ..I never had a doubt in what I feel for you nor I can stop it 'but when mallika asked me what is going to be my next step 'I was lost ..I felt as if those demons, my fears came back with full force.I longed to be near you but I feared that giving a name to this relationship might spoil everything 'its my demons which pushed me to stay away 'I believed marriage will change a person ..But same time I forgot its love which hold everything together. I forgot that its love which will pull everyone and everything together .

"Nidhi I gave you so much pain , I don't know whether you will ever forgive me , I don't know ..but I do hope you will one day, I am ready to wait for that day '"

He look up at nidhi, she struggling not to ..slowly he see tears trickling down her cheeks ,he reach out and try to wipe her tears but she just stop him in between and jump straight in his arms , he envelope her in tight hug crushing her..She snuggle even more close and move her hand on his back .suddenly she look up at him, as she speak "I tried so hard to hate you but I couldn't instead I ended up loving you even more '..But don't you dare leave me again, next time I am not going to forgive you..You understand "

Ashu smile and cup her face to give kiss on her forhead .

Ashu: nidhi, you remember when you first met me ..you asked whether I live alone ..yes I live alone 'infact I lived alone most of my life but now I don't want ..Now I want o spend my life with you ..after spending hectic day at work I want to return back to you , I want o belong somewhere , to someone'.Will you marry me nidhi 'I will promise to be with you forever and love you always ..will you nidhi ?"

For a second she forgot everything as his word sunk in she look at him sternly and reply " on 2 condition '.1: I want you to court me before getting married 'and first date will be gol gappe shop .

Ashu shake his head and smile gayly "nidhi, its not hygienic 'What if you fall sick ..i will take you some other place"

Nidhi pout so ashu agree '.

Ashu :; nidhi 'am waiting

Nidhi: for what ?

Ashu:Nidhi you said ..2 condition 'what is 2^nd one ?

Nidhi : ohh 2^nd condition 'well, I want 2 children..both sons "'.and she look at him with amused expression.

Ashu :ohh nidhi , its not fair ..I want one daughter too'

They both laugh at that and nidhi move forward and place her hand just on top of his heart, he look down at her ..she look at him with so much love that he forget to breath 'suddenly nidhi whisper " Breath ..ashuthosh mathur " he smile and slowly put his right hand around her waist and pull her up 'nidhi put her both hand around his neck ..and then slowly he and brush his lips to hers 'tasting every corner of her lip 'savouring the moment , nidhi moan just when he take her lower lip and start playing ..soon nidhi open her mouth for better acces and ashu stat kissing her first softly and then fiercely , nidhi melt down in his arm and kiss with passion which is new to her '.showing , expressing and giving in this moment 'they stand what seems like a long time!
