Got inspired by all you fabulous writers and this is just a faction of my imagination and i do not intend to offend anyone by this..No idea if i make sense but i had to share it with you.. if i continue this or not.. even i have no idea.. but here goes..
*************************************
Could the fates be this cruel than the reality he had just got to know from Sana? Was it possible for a mortal to go through so many hardships? Was there any end to his misfortune?
Where should he go? Maybe he should just quietly leave the family right now.. Leave without talking with Preet. They deserved better than him..
He had garnered so much hatred for this country and its people.. what for?? Nothing.. All his life was a lie. A big lie..How was he just supposed to live with it? His own people had used him as a bait. His own people had killed his parents and misled him with falsies.
Who should he go to? To empty the sufferings of his very being that had suffered at the hands of destiny... to shed the unshed tears for the 6 year old Rizwaan?
As if it was not enough for his fate to be a part of the extremist group.. he was also a part of the group who had hurt HIS Preet..
So what if he was not involved directly with the incident.. he had been a part of the group..
How will Preet understand this when he told her the truth? Part of his wanted to believe she will forgive him.. but he knew it in his heart..it was not going to be so..His fate was decided.. He was destined to suffer or rather just die.. he just did not know how much more he could endure..
His body seemed to know the answer as it dragged itself towards his room, No, not his, he reprimanded himself, it was Ishaan and Preet's room...
He knew that Preet needed to know the truth...
That pure soul had suffered.. Suffered at the hands of his extremist group, suffered at the hands of him, Rizwaan Ahmed Khan and not least of all, his lies for the past 5 years.. suffered from the indifference he had shown towards her these past few days.. he could only imagine the extent of hurt he had been inflicting on her..
He wiped his tears.. she needed to know..Even if that meant she hated him from the core of her existence for the rest of her life.. but she should know the truth.
************************
Preet was holding the taawiz nonchalantly, lost in her thoughts. Actually she was numb with Ishaan's behaviour after they had come back from Panchameshwar.
No matter what and how much Ishaan had emphasised that he loved Meghana, Preet was sure she had seen love in his eyes, love for her. Love in his words when he had declared that his very soul belonged to her. Love in his touch when they had become one.
Words could be false.. but do eyes lie..his eyes had screamed his loved for her...
Preet saw Ishaan entering their room in a dazed state. She quickly wiped her eyes dry and kept the token of love that her Ishaan had gifted her in the box. And waited, waited for what was in store for her as they had ceased to talk since the trip.
Ishaan sat on the bed near her much to her surprise.. She could see he was disturbed.. puffy eyes, grim faced.. Seemed like his hands were shaking and he was trying in vain to stop the shiver.
What's the matter Ishaan?' He wouldn't look up.
Preet I.. I.. ' he mumbled something...
Her heart shattered when she saw tears rolling down his eyes.. she held his face and pleaded, " please tell me, what is the matter Ishaan.. please.. i cannot see you like this, don't shut me out Ishaan.."
Ishaan kept a finger on her lips. "Preet.. please.. don't say anything.. no words but just hold me.. hold me like there is no tomorrow.. just for a while.. hold me, hold me like this is the last time we are together.."
She tried to grasp each of his word and got even more confused.. what does he mean by last time..'
But her love gave way to the tears in her eyes as she enveloped him in her arms. Her Ishaan.. Who was lost somewhere.. Her Ishaan.. who could sense she was upset with one glance at her. The one who had truly loved her even though he denied it now. The one who had hurt her as much as he had loved her.. Her Ishaan...
