This emotion was eating out every bit of sanity he had had. He couldn't take it any more . She was so close to him , so very close.
He decided to end this torment once and for all . Today there would be no ego , no uma, no misunderstandings . This would either sail them across or put the final full stop .
"Rama , aaj tumhein hamaari madad karni hogi" Mantu said firmly.
"Arre, bolo naa" Rama wanted to be of help .
"Hum jaise hi kamre ke andar jaate hain, Tum Bahar kisi Ko bhej ke Darwaaza Band Karwa Do"
"Par Kyun Mantu?"
"Baad Mein Batate Hain Rama . Ab jaise humne kaha hai waise karo"
"Theek Hai"

Amaaya entered her room to fix her hair . Her hair was a mess after the dance .
Mantu went in too. And Shyamu sealed the deal by locking the door .
"Amaaya"
The voice , HIS voice , sent shivers down her spine.
"Hmm?" She managed to respond .
"Humein Tumse Kuch Poochna Tha.. Hai"
"Suno , Mantu mere paas time nahi hai , aur Tum toh mujhse door rehna chahte the naa?"
"Par Kya Tum Humse door rehna chahti thi?"
"Bolo Amaaya" He took one step towards her .
"Main Woh .." He took another step towards her , she moved a step away.
"Main Woh , Tumse Door.." She stuttered.
They were against the wall, inches away from each other . Her heartbeats quickened .
"Rehna Chahti Thi"
He looked into her eyes . Touched her fingers . She felt her heart thudding .
She couldn't look at him , Mahadev what type of torture was this .
"Tum Itni Laal Kaise Hogayi , Amaaya. Tumhein Toh Farak Nahi Padta" He held her hand tight.
A lone strand fell on her face . He moved in and blew it away .
She couldn't feel her heart , anymore .
"Mantu , please"
"Shh, Amaya Mathur."
"Ab Hum Tumse Poochte Hain , Tumhein Hamaari Kasam , Sach Bologi Tum . Kya Tum Humse Pyaar Karti Ho Amaaya?"
Mahadev , what a weird situation you'd put her in . Her 'sharth' would be broken . She looked away . "Mantu Jaana Hai" she managed to utter .
"Aaj Tum kahin Nahi jaogi . Humein Jawaab Chahiye Amaaya ."
Why? Oh Lord he was so close . His intense gaze was sucking out the iota of sanity that was left in her . She felt so helpless .
"Mantu , Main..." She couldn't break her promise . She'd promised Uma that she wouldn't tell Mantu , that she loved him . But she could hint at it , couldn't she? That wasn't breaching the promise .
She hugged him tightly . He hugged her back .
What was that? He thought , A yes, no or maybe?
She could hear murmurs outside . 'Amaaya kahan hai'
'Amu ka room check karte hain'
She broke the hug , kissed him on his cheek . 'Tumhein apna jawaab mil Gaya hai . Ab jake chupo , Jazz aa rahi hai'
Jazz opened the door . She found no one in Amu's room .
Mantu-Amaaya were behind the curtains . He cupped her face , 'Amaaya Hum..'
He kissed her forehead .
'Mantu ...woh wahan dekho '
Amaaya , ran out of the room , blushing .
'Mahadev , yeh ladki ' Mantu sighed .
His cheeks turned red too.
