Anyway, enough of my blabber đ
Judaai
Raanjhan dhoondhan main chaleya
Raanjhan mileya naa ae
Jigraan vichon agan laga ke rabba
Lakeeran vich likh di judaai
I saw him walk away. With Nishi in my arms and Aarav tugging at my dupatta, both wailing for attention.
But how could I register anything when the man who had meant everything to me was walking away so ruthlessly right in front of me?
Had he forgotten all the promises we made to one another? Had they meant nothing to him?
How did this happen?
Kho gaya, gum ho gaya
Waqt se churaaya tha jo
Apna banaaya tha
Wo tera, wo mera
Saath nibhaaya tha jo
Apna banaaya tha
I walked away, cradling Agam with one arm and holding Ranbir's hand with the other.
The woman I promised to protect and care for and love no longer needed me. My heart pricked, tears dripping down my face. But I couldn't let her see me weak. I couldn't let her see how vulnerable I was. I trusted her; I let her be the one person who could make or break me.
How did this happen?
Chadariya jheeni re jheeni
Chadariya jheeni re jheeni
Aankhein bheeni ye bheeni ye bheeni
Yaadein jheeni re jheeni re jheeni
I could still feel myself yearning for his love.
I could still feel myself tensing up just with the mere mention of her name.
It was as if I had never moved on.
Every night, I smiled for my kids.
Every night, I drowned myself in alcohol.
Living for them. Smiling for them. It made me happy. Gave my broken soul a reason to mend itself.
Living for others. Trying to help others. It made me happy. But at night, when I was truly alone with no one to look after, I'd lose myself in the depths of alcohol to prevent another failed attempt at fixing myself.
I'd look at Nishi and Aarav, and see my past. The moments I once shared with Nachiket.
I'd look at Ranbir and Agam, and see her. The moment I walked out haunting me.
That moment haunted me. As if etched into memory, I couldn't forget.
The moment I walked out.
The moment he walked out on me.

It was as if I were destined to live this life alone.
His presence no longer mattered. It wasn't meant to be.
Her presence no longer mattered. It wasn't meant to be.
But what if I thought otherwise?
It didn't matter. This just wasn't meant to be.
