ishkara os-never let you go
ishana was on way to home.night was at peak of darkness.
she was late.walking alone on road was risky.but she had no choice.
there was no sight of taxi,bus or auto around.
suddenly she heard sound of footsteps following her.
her heartbeat accelerated.someone was following her.
she did not take risk of looking behind and increased her speed.
but sound of footsteps became louder.it seemed stalker
had almost reached near her.she started running but was caught by heavy
muscular hands.there were three guys who looked like predater staring
lustfully at her.she shivered with fear.she shouted
but it seemed there was no one to save her from those wolves.
she was dragged to the side of road covered with long bushes and trees.
she was thrown on ground roughly.she cried in pain.she was fighting bravely.
but this battle meant to be lost.she could not fight longer with three desperate
lusty goons who were too powerful to stop.
while resisting them she thought about only one person,
"om "she shouted his name.omkara singh oberoi her ex boyfried whom she had loved
and betrayed.
her eyes were tearing continuously.her body could nt stand longer.those vile goons
were ovrpowering her.they had tored her kurti.
she closed her eyes unable to withstand the nightmare.
suddenly she heard painful screams of goons.she opened her eyes to look at
unbelievable scene.her love om was beating goons mercilesly .
she had tested the wrath of om anger but she had never seen him violent.
this time he was looking murderous in rage.goons pushed him and escaped
fast.om tried to follow but stopped after listening painful sigh from
ishana.he stared at her messed up state.ishana tried to looked away.
she did not want to see disgust in his eyes again which she saw
since the day they broke up.
"tumhara dimag kharab ho gaya hai?itni raat akeli wo bhi
sunsan sadak per kya kar rahi thi."
his angry voice thundered her ears.but instead of
resentment she felt warmth.
she looked in to his eyes.he looked concerned for her.
he took out his jacket and put on her to cover her diseveled state.
he checked her injuries.
"mujhe pata nahi tha ki itna kuch ho jayega.tum nahi aate to.."she burst in to tears.
he hold her shoulder in assurance.
"mai tumhare sath hu.daro mat.."she looked at his assuring expression.
"om, tum yahan kaise aaye?"she asked.
"wo..."he looked around uncomfortabily.
"abhi sawal puchne ka waqt nahi hai.yahan se jald nikalna hoga"
"lekin mai iss halat me kaise jao.."she looked at her tore cloth and bruises.
om understood her tension.she was traumatised .she did not want to go home
in that state.
"dont worry!oberoi farmhouse is near.tum wahan kapde badal lena.subah
hum police station jayenge.phir tum ghar chali jana"he answered her calmly.
"lekin.."
"lekin wekin kuch nahi..ab chalo"he lift her in his strong arms.he gently put
her in the car.
ishana heart was filled with guilt and love.
she had hurted this man too much in past.she would ever forgive herself for this.
and she did not expect anything from om.but again he became her saviour and protector.
she wanted to hug him.she wanted to declare her undying love for him.
but her guilt could not allow her.
they reached oberoi farmhouse.it was at outskirt area of mumbai.there were only 2 staff
present in the farmhouse.on om instructions they prepared room for her.
she went inside the room.lots of beautiful nightgown were there.she choose one and went
for bath.she was still disturbed.memory of that painful incident was revisiting
her again and again.she winced at pain of her bruises.
"ishana.."she heard omkara knocking door of bathroom desperatly.
"tum thik to ho..."he asked from outside.he sounded tense.
"ha.. mai thik hu.."she replied.
she wore bath robe and opened the door.
"thank god!tumhari cheekh sunayi di.i was so worried"om looked at her with concern.
"kyon itni fikr hai tumhe meri..tum to meri shakal bhi nahi dekhna chahte the.
yad nahi hai kaise maine tumhara dil toda tha.mat karo meri parwah.mai
tumhari nafrat bardasht kar loongi lekin tumhe pal bhar pane ke bad khona nahi.."
she cried.she could not stand his care for her.
last few months she had made herself stone to not feel anything related to him.
it had been painful for her to loose him.but more paiful was to see
him hurt because of her sefish lies.she did not deserve his love.
she tried to go away but om grabbed her hand.he stared
at bruises of her hand.
ishana tried to move but om did not let her go.
he took her to bed and opened first aid box.ishana silently watched him cleaning
and dressing her wounds.
"tum kyon kar rahe ho ye sab?already tumhare mujh per bahut ahsaan hai.mai
is layak nahi hu ki.."ishana tried to resist.
"bas karo ab.."om shouted.
"aaj agar tumhe kuch ho gaya hota to mai kya karta.."om looked hurt.
he looked miserable.
"om.."ishana touched him in concern.om grabbed her hand and pull
her for hug.
"thank god i was following you today.nahi to pata nahi kya hota."
his voice quivered.
she got surprrised to hear his words.
"tum mujhe follow kar rahe the lekin kyon?.."she asked.
"tumse akhiri bar milne.."he answered.
ishana winced after hearing his answer.
"thank you mujhe bachane ke liye"she masked her pain and thanked him.
"aj ke baad mai tumhe apni shakal nahi dikhaongi.i promise"she sincerly said
those word.she knew how much he was hurt to see her.now it was time
to let go of him forever even it meant death for her.
"shutt upp.."om got angry.
"aaj jab un gundo ko tum per attack karte hue dekha to janti ho meri halat
kya thi.mai un sabhi ko jan se maar dalta agar wo bhage na hote.
bas ek khyaal bar bar man me aa raha hai ki agar mai tumhe kho deta to
mai kya karta"his eyes welled in tears.
"aaj mujhe ehsaas hua ki meri nafrat,mera gussa ,mere adarsh tumhari jaan se
badh kar nahi hai.."he choked while speaking.
ishana was dumbfounded to see him breaking down like this.she
hugged him tightly.
"i will never let you go again."om whispered in her ears.ishana felt as if she was dreaming.
she got second chance and this time she would never leave her life omkara.
she clung to him and kiss his forehead .
omkra hold her in his arms and kissed her gently.
bright light of morning entered the room killing the darkness of night as well their
life.it marked new beginning of their love journey.
