''A Gleam Of Hope ''
Part 1 :
After listening to the painful words which Sarja had told, made Niru totally devastated..she had already suffered enough to see chandu's death and now where circumstances had taken her back?
She was totally lost in her thoughts in her room when she heard footsteps..Sarja was standing there at the door having something in his hands...he came forward , sat on the chair and called her name slowly
''Niru ...yeh kuch saariyan hain jo apun nay tere liye sonali say mangwai hain ...shayad tere ko pasand ajain ...apun jaanta hai kay agar apun khud lata to tere ko shayad pasand nahi aatin ...par yeh sonali lai hai ...pehan lena ''
his voice fizzled with disappointment while telling all this as he already knew if he ever tried to do something good for anyone , it had always turned out as a big mess ...that's y he never kept his hopes high this time too ...
while saying all this, he got up and went to the balcony again.
...
Niru's eyes went teary as she could feel the disappointment in his low tone ...he was never used to be like this ...she remembered all the meetings with him that how he used to impose his decisions on others and now he looked completely different .
Indeed , he was the one who was affected by chandu's death badly ...and just for the sake of his brother's prestige , he made himself flagitious in all's eyes..
her thoughts made her impatient as she wanted to talk to him but still she had no courage to do so ...she was also wondering at herself if why suddenly she started thinking about him? A man whom she hated a lot !!! And now, she felt as if her heart was taking her to some other direction???...what was that ???...what had happened to her ???...was she forgetting her first love ??? her chandu ???...even though , fate had snatched her love mericlessly but why this heart was instigating her to move on ???
she went completely impatient after thinking all this ...she got up , started flitting from one corner of the room to another . Soon , she was tired...
she hit the bed and fell asleep fighting with her alien thoughts..
...
Sarja was still standing on the balcony remembering all the incidents which made his life like hell since his adolescence ...he didn't realize if flood of silent tears was flowing from his beady eyes ...why life had to be so cruel to him always ??? what sin he had committed that no one was ready to accept him wholeheartedly ???...he was always a big smirch to his family and now see the gimmick of this brutal life that even death was not ready to accept him with open arms when Albela shot him on the road???...He smirked on his badluck as he was on the verge of self-mocking ..
After a while , he came out of his vexation and started walking slowly towards his room as he knew it very well that they were living in a chawl where people make hill out of mole and if someone would have seen him standing alone in the balcony at this odd hour , they would have gossipped for sure as they already knew him being married ...Earlier, when he was a bachelor, the case was different but now he indeed did not want to let down his parents in any manner to make people started questioning about his married life ( as if there was any , but still ...he thought dejectedly) ...already his parents had suffered a lot ...
He made himself sure if he had floodgated all the tears before entering in room ...he saw that she had already slept squeezing herself in a corner of a bed ...Now it was no other place for him to sleep except the other side of the bed ...He off his shirt , threw it on chair and fell asleep with half a jiff as his head was spinning like anything ...
...
Never know if how many minutes had passed when his nap went far away as he felt as if someone is murmuring ...he didnt want to awake but that voice was so irritating ...Before he could understand if what happened , he heard that she shrieked his name ...he opened his eyes n before he could move a bit , she had buried her face in his chest and he felt that he had petrified by her act !!!!!😲
...
Do u want me to continue after the cliffhanger???😉
