CHANDINI !!!He got hold of the rope just before the chandelier cane falling on her. He pulled the rope raising the chandelier high and glared at chandini. Her eyes are tightly closed and her hands clasped on her ears , her face turned away and bowed almost bracing for the impact. As he kept glaring at her , she opened her eyes first to look at him and then at the chandelier which is now almost 12 feet above the ground.
'Bus ' she stated and beamed at him. He moved towards the pillar and started tying the rope around it. ' Remember? You told me , the chandelier should always be 12 feet above . So I thought of correcting this one. What happened to you ? Got tensed that I may get hurt ? ' she teased with a smile .
All this while he never even spared her a glance , he just kept all his concentration on tying the rope.Even her last question failed to get his attention. Determined , she tried again 'why don't u accept that you care ? '
Finally this made me look up ' You know how much that chandelier cost me ? ' he said nodding his head towards the chandelier and gave one last tight pull on the rope , then turned to walk away.
She pouted her lips and mocked his expression behind his back and then moved hastily to walk with him. By the time she came near he started climbing the stairs two steps at a time she struggled to keep up with him.
' Remember , back then you always win in running race . But we are not racingg now , then why are you running. ' she said in rapid voice. And glanced at him for reaction there was none . His face looked indifferent and hard .
She slipped on her next step but before she falls back his hand caught hers and pulled forward , she crashed on his chest and held him tightly.( Rabba ve.. our new version just 5 sec) . She stood still in his embrace , savouring the moment. And slowly lifted her eyes at look at him. He looks the same as he was a moment before . Indifferent and hard . But still she wanted to retrieve some response from him.
' what happened now ? Iam sure even if I fall I don't damage your stair case !' she said with false amusing tone. He loosened his grip and moved away . He again started climbing this time one step at a time. This brought a smile on her face , she continued her chase.
'Tum na... I mean aap. You have just grown in terms of height.but here's she said pointing at her head ' you are just the same . No idea what happiness you get by making me chase you ? ' she said rolling for eyes.
But here.. he thought , pointing at his heart iam still the same shattered and lost just as you left me. Her non stop rants are making him loose his cool but still he pressed his lips together and refused to show her any sort of reaction. They reached the top of stairs he started towards hallway with purposeful long strides. He saw her hastily walking behind him .
'Remember , we use to race to the temple and who teaches first will get to make a wish to god. When ever I won I always asked for one thing .. bus I just want you in my life forever , Dev '
' Enough!!' he shouted turning back to face her . This stopped her right in the tracks. He started walking forward and she took involuntary back step.
'Ofcourse I remember, your betrayal would never let me forget even if I want to. ' he continued walking compelling her to step back. ' But do you remember ? You ruined my life and yet you stand here claiming that I care for you !' his eyes were red with rage and she can see he is struggling to get his anger under control. ' I don't care . You don't even regret what you did ! You want to...' he stopped his face frowned in disgust. Looking at so much hate in his eyes made it difficult for her to breathe. She was at the edge of top step and stumbled back wards as he leaned intently. Thus made her loose control and fall back.
His hand caught hers again but this time he didn't pull her instead just held her like that , completely at his mercy. 'I just don't care for you. If you want me to prove that, I can ' he said indicating his hold , the threat clear in his eyes . She was surprised first but then she knows he would never harm her. So she held his hand and looked him eye with out any fear.
He saw her eyes go wild as she lost balance and involuntary gasp escaped her parted lips . She clearly looked terrified and he expected to see panic in her eyes after his threat . But she surprised him with a challenging look. As if she knows he would never...
He pulled her slightly only to make her stand and walked away immediately. ' And you don't even Regret ' his words came back hurling in her brain and tears started gathering in her eyes.
======================================
'Chandini, what happened dear ? Her Nani asked her as soon as she stepped in to the room. This made her feel overwhelmed. A simple fact this warm women can sense her sadness even before she utters a word made her feel loved.
Nani was seated on the bed and extended her hand asking chandini to come near. Chandini walked slowly towards her instead of taking her hand she sat down and layed her head in her lap. Nani smiled and adoringly patted chandini's head.
' I know I messed his life. It was not betrayal it was a mistake.I had no idea what I was doing back then. And whatever I did I have an explanation. But the person I want to explain won't listen to me , won't understand me. He is Advay. That's why Iam trying to find Dev in him.because Dev will understand his chandu . Dev..' her voice rokee and the tears is she holding back came rolling down fast and hot.
' ssshh.. don't cry beti . ' Nani said running her hand downn chandini's back consolingg her shaking body.' just before , you are saying that you will give imm his tashan , what happened now ?' she said teasing her to lift the mood.
Chandini wipped her tears ' Advay hates me Nani , but I know Dev cares for me ' she said in a low voice almost to herself.
Nani nodded in agreement. ' you know what you did didn't just change his life . It changed his perspective towards life. You still don't know the prices he paid for your innocent mistake. It won't be easy for him to forgive you . ' she said in a worried tone.
Chandini raised her head to look at Nani , then wiped her tears and raised from floor to sit beside her on the bed . She took nani's hands into hers.
' Then please tell me ..,' she asked eagerly.
' If he wanted you to know it. Cheeku imselff would have told you. But he didn't. I don't know why but I believe he hadd his reasons. So I can't tell you ' she answered , chandini's knows she can't get her answers from Nani now.
She was lost in thought as started thinking what could have happened that turned Dev in to advay.

Hello everyone..
I hope you enjoyed reading.i could have stopped just with Adni scene but today's episode left me bit unsatisfied with chandini lack of empathy towards Advay.
The pain she caused him is not something that can be written off with swag.
So I thought of adding the scene with Nani just make sense of chandini's behaviour.
I have a theory regarding why chandini is not yet aware of the whole truth. May be we can discuss it next time.
Do share your views on this imagination. And any inputs for improvements or ideas for new imaginations are openly welcome.
Thank you.😊
