She was sitting in the Fire Exit, numb and quiet. The only thing in motion was the tears running down her cheeks. She didn't know what to do , she didn't know what to say , from the past two hours , the only few things she had done were , thousands of missed calls, innumerable text messages and countless voice mails to him but he didn't reply. How could he reply when he was stuck in a riot all alone? She shouldn't have allowed him to go to Bandra, but did he listen to her even once? She tried to stop him but he was obstinate to buy her one of that exclusive dance CD. She couldn't help but curse herself for putting him into this risk, risk of a lifetime. Everyone in the college was trying to figure out about Reyaansh; news channels were being changed every second for the slightest hope of getting his news, media portals were constantly being contacted, his dad tried all the means to get to him but to no avail. He was simply out of contact, but what was Kriya doing? Nothing. She was still sitting numb in the Fire Exit holding her phone, hoping that once, at least once he'll reply to her call, she just wanted to hear his voice. At that moment, she was ready to give anything only to get him back but it seemed as if destiny had planned to be against her will.
On the other side, Reyaansh was sitting in his car with that CD in his hand. His hand, which was now red in color. The riot turned completely violent. Innocents were brutally beaten up, cars, bikes, scooters, buses; and every other means of transport were completely being damaged. He was sitting in car, bleeding excessively but still holding that CD close to his heart. He could do anything but not let that CD go off his hands. It might be a normal dance CD for anyone else but for Reyaansh, it was Kriya's biggest wish at that moment and he couldn't let her down.
It was late evening. Her friend's tried to get in contact with her but she didn't pick up anyone's call, she had locked herself in the fire exit. The college was completely abandoned now. But she wasn't feeling scared, she was still sitting in the same posture with tears running down her cheeks; her eyes were blood red by now and her head was burning but all she wanted was Reyaansh. Her dad also left to meet some high officials of the city to her his son out of this mess.
All the moments she spent with Reyaansh were running right in front of her eyes, those special dance routines, those eye locks, that caring nature of Rey, everything and then abruptly an image of Rey drenched in blood. It felt as if someone stabbed Kriya and she shouted, "REY" but there was no one to reply to her scream. Suddenly, all her numbness went away. She became restless. She tried contacting Rey once again but his phone was still switched off. She wanted to know where was he, how was he; she didn't know how but she wanted to know where was Reyaansh , her Reyaansh.
She was going up and down the stairs of the fire exit when she suddenly heard a knock at the door. She was anxious to know about Reyaansh , she tried calling almost everyone but no one had any clue about him. Expecting to get some news about Rey, she ran to open the door and there she saw her man standing, Reyaansh standing. With the CD in his hand and an exhausted smile. Along with this, his entire face had blood all over, his clothes had blood stains and his hand was bleeding excessively.
Kriya saw him in this state and hugged him immediately. She didn't know what to say, what to do, tears were running down their cheeks, Rey hugged her back, tightly, so much so that her face almost squeezed between his neck and shoulder.
"I told you not to go, but you never listen to me, do you have any idea how tensed I was? And look at you, you are so injured. Why did you do this? , said Kriya in her hyper active mood.
"Baatcutter! Shh.", and he gently placed his finger on her lips and gave the CD to her. Taking the CD from him , Kriya moved a step closer and kissed him. Their lips touched each other and Kriya's lip dominating his; she took him into an intense lock of their lips. Her fingers moved through his hair and his palm was holding on to her back, in a tight grip as he would never let her go. She wanted to freeze this moment when she was with him, when he was with her safely. She just wanted him.
They broke the kiss and went to the medical room in the college for his first aid. Having asked Rey to clean his wound with water, Kriya went out to get the other necessary items for his first aid and also tried calling her doctor. After getting the things, she entered the room only to find Rey struggling with his shirt due to his wounded arm. Kriya went up to him and helped him to remove his shirt.
"Kriya, I am ok. I'll manage it.", and he tried to do it all by himself.
"I am seeing how well you are managing, its okay Rey, let me help you.", and she brought the water-soaked sponges to clean his wounds. As the sponge touched his wound, he moved a little in pain... "Rey, just one minute." and she moved an inch closer towards him. She blew at the wound near her neck, it was hurting Rey and Kriya could feel his pain. She tried to touch his wound but he moved in pain, she could believe every bit of his pain. Her blood-red eyes got moistened in seeing him cry in agony. She went closer to him and caressed his face.
"Rey, please. Please don't lose the courage. I know its paining, just a few minutes Rey, please." She held his palm tight and aided his wounds. He was in a lot of pain but she didn't let him down even once. And, for him, she was his courage. Seeing her concern, her love for him, he didn't let it go. She ended up, she dressed all his wounds.
"Its done Rey, now the next thing we do is that tomorrow morning , we'll go to the doctor. And I wouldn't listen to any excuses."
Rey gave a smirk and held her hand.
"Rey, you need rest. Leave my hand and go off to rest."
He pulled her and embraced her into a hug. Kriya was surprised but hugged him back.
"I don't know how to thank god for giving me a person like you. You complete the circle of my life, Kriya. It is you because of whom I can take any risk in life. It is you because of whom I managed to get back safely. Your faith, your prayer, your strong love and most importantly, its us,our desire to be together .We have faced so many problems till now but its our trust and our desire to be one which overpowers all those problems. You are my strength, my weakness, my life... I love you Kriya...I love you so very much."
