Hello everyone I am back with another OS
Please give your honest reviews and criticism is welcomed
Sonakshi parked the car on the lakeside,got down and slammed the door shut. She rested her head against it,wondering how long this would continue before her head exploded.
Her mind fogged up, tears burned her eyes and her lips trembled.She blinked back a tear, but it escaped and slid down her cheek.
This was the fourth time when she accompanied Dev on a dinner with a prospective bride of his.
He seemed to like the girl and even asked her out on a second date.But this time he did not want her to come along.
She should be happy for him,She thought but every time she saw them smiling with each other,something inside her broke.
She knew she was a sane,well settled person,but still found something was amiss.
What in the world was happening to her?Why was the fact of him drifting apart form her forever bothering her?why her heart ached seeing him with someone else?Why did She feared losing the "haq" she had on him to someone else?Why did she still get affected by his closeness, when she had clearly told everyone including him that she has moved on.But was it the truth?You can lie to what's in your head,but you can't lie to what's in your heart.For heart never tells lies,but hidden truths,and her heart knew that it was a lie
She felt depressed and frustrated.She was tired of putting on a brave face in front of everyone when her heart was being crushed into pieces from inside.She hated this feeling.She wanted to forget him and move on but as hard as she tried,she just couldn't.
One of the most difficult tasks in life is removing someone from your heart.But it takes a lot of courage and trust to look past what you've been through and trust the same person not to put you through it again.She still loved him and there was no doubt in that but did she trust him?No,her heart screamed,she couldn't get into the relationship with him which made her weak years ago.
Her mother was right when she said that numbing the pain for a while will make it worse when you finally feel it.
And now when she looked up towards the sky,she saw that the night was so dark...She could not see the stars. The world felt as high as the depth less night sky and deeper than she could know. She understood, suddenly and keenly, that she was too small to run away, and she sat on the damp ground against the car,holding her knees to her chest and cried her heart out
Not being able to bear her miserable state anymore,Dev quickly came out of the place he was hiding all along and ran towards where she was sitting.He knelt down in front of her.
"Sonakshi?"He called out her name but she continued to stare into oblivion
On getting no response from her,his heart started pounding loudly.He had to fix it once and for all.He held her by her shoulders and shook her and said "Look at me Sona"
She finally got back into her senses and was shocked to see him there.She jerked his hands away and stood up "What are you doing here?"She asked her voice brimming with anger
"Do you love me Sonakshi?"
Her eyes grew wide as soon as he put up his question
She didn't answer, even though she knew Dev wanted her to say yes.
"I know you still love me,so why are you running away from it? Don't do this to yourself."
"Have you gone mad Dev?You are soon going to get married to someone else .Stop all this nonsense right now."She screamed on top of her lungs
He Just smiled and came closer to her.He held her hands in his and said "You know what Sonakshi,sometimes two people have to fall apart to realise how much they need to fall back together.I have understood this thing but you couldn't"
"What..what do you mean?"She asked with a choked voice looking straight into his eyes
"Miss Bose,you always call me a 'Boka' but today you became one.It was all an act to make you realise that you still love me.All those girls were my old dates with whom I was never in a serious relationship and when I explained them how much I love you,they agreed to help me out.I told you no?That I can never give that place to someone else which I have given you."He replied smiling ear to ear
She could feel anger boiling up inside her.She removed her hands out of his grip and started hitting his chest with her fists"what do you think of yourself?Why do you always play with my emotions Dev? Why?"
He didn't react,he knew she needed to get it all out from her heart.She felt weak and drained out,she stopped what she was doing and buried her face in the crook of his neck as he held her.One part of her needed him,needed his arms around her,needed him to hold her and whisper that they could be together.But another part of her wanted to jerk him away,shout on him,fight with him not able to trust him again.
He wrapped his hands around her waist and placed a soft kiss on top of her head and coaxed her to speak up what was troubling her
"I'm scared to go through all that again Dev.I'm scared of being lied to again,I'm scared to listen all those hurtful words again.My heart is not strong enough to endure everything again" She said sobbing uncontrollably
"I am sorry Sona,sorry for hurting you so much,sorry for not being there when you needed me the most,sorry for doing things that I shouldn't have done.I feel so ashamed that I showed my worst side to the best thing that has ever happened to me."
"And you are not weak.You are brave and strong.When you felt the world falling apart around you,you found strength in your struggle and what Did I Do?I roamed around with girls just because I was angry and my feelings were hurt."
"I can't change the past.But all I can say is that I won't do the same mistake I have done no matter what happens.Because the best apology is a changed behaviour.Please come back! Don't give me such a big punishment.I'll do everything for your forgiveness.Please give me another chance.I promise I will be a better person."
"Deep down you know me,you know my love is real,you know I make you happy.Please take my hand and let me love you,care for you.Isn't that's all we both ever wanted?" He asked forwarding his hand towards her
She looked into his light brown eyes which reflected immense love for her and placed her hand in his,ready to trust him one last time
He smiled and cupped her cheeks,a cool breeze touched the warmth of her cheeks and her hairs swayed gently.He rubbed her cheeks lightly with his thumbs. Tiny drops of rain spattered their faces as he leaned closer to her and captured her soft lips into a passionate kiss.They enjoyed this feeling of togetherness after 7 long years and got lost in the warmth of each other.Afterwhat it seemed eternity they broke the kiss and stood there joining their foreheads.They knew that they still had long way to go before they can marry each other again.But at that moment all they understood was that They Were Finally Home
The End
