Durga was in the car with Dev. Today she had purposefully asked him to drop her home. Citing bad weather as the reason. She knew Shaurya will call as she had not taken his call citing board meeting. Rain was lashing outside and Durga didnt wanted to look at Dev. Somewhere her heart still ached remembering about the beautiful moments she had shared with Dev.
As expected Shaurya's call came. " Shaurya what happened. Why did you call. Oh I am with Dev Shaurya. I thought you would be busy , so asked Dev to drop me"
" Yaa yaa I am in Nethaji road. It is raining and I always love rain"
Shaurya is feeling angry and jealous. Durga had gone with Dev in this rain. He didnt know what was going to happen, but he felt Dev will surely take advantage of the situation and try to become close to Durga. He threw away the liquor glass in his hand. He need to tell his dad Dev cannot be the architect for Cancer research project.
Dev was driving. But his mind was lost in other thoughts.
" Nithya get out , let us dance in the rain. Anyways no one is here"
" Dev are you mad. Maybe you like getting wet in the rain. I dont want to get sick like last time"
" Nithya you didnt become sick because of rain. That was because you went and had that cold kulfi after getting drenched in rain"
" No Dev. I am not coming"
" Come Nithya " he pulled her hand
" Dev what are you doing" Durga's voice bought him to present. He was holding Durga's hand.
He left it immedaitely and she looked at him and then straight. " Dev I want you to pine like this. Every moment thinking about the betrayal you gave Nithya" said Durga in mind
" Nithya where are you. Every aspect of Kolkatta is bringing your memories for me" told Dev in his mind
The car stopped suddenly. Dev tried to restart. It was not working. He got out. Checked the engine. After some trials he understood car has broke down. He was now drenched completely.
" Durga I guess the car has broke down. Sit inside. Let me see if I can get a lift"
Durga didnt speak anything. She sat there simply looking at Dev. Rains Dev had always loved to get drenched in rain and had dragged Nithya with him. What an irony she thought. Whether she likes it not today she has to get out in this rain with him if she is supposed to reach home. She kept her cool.
Soon a lorry stopped and Dev asked her to get out. She walked behind him getting herself drenched completely. Dev got himself into the lorry first. Then he gave her the hand. She took his hand and as he tried to hold her other hand she didnt give and instead held on to lorry and got into the lorry.
Dev once again looked at the mysterious woman in front of him. What was that it was irking him. Why he felt she was so close to him, yet so distant. This was not the first time he had spoken to her as if speaking to Nithya. He had to know, what is the secret behind Durga. Because only she has the key to find his Nithya.
Durga looked at Dev. Dev I will not allow you to find me. Because Nithya is dead. From her ashes Durga is born and Durga doesnt recognize Dev.
Yes it was a journey for Dev to find his Nithya and for Durga to find her Dev back
