Part 1
Yuvika got inside Neil's room & was shocked.It was as if a big storm had just hit. Everything was scattered here & there. Room was in havoc..
Yuvika quietly kept her bag on the study table. She got nervous and anxiously started searching for him. She found him sitting in a corner, putting his head down between his knees & trembling. Something was breaking inside her looking at his state.
She slowly walked towards him, kneeled down before him & put her hand on his head.
"Neil..", she called.
Neil looked up stratled.
"Yuvika tum? Yahan kaise ayi tum,darwaja toh locked hai...," said Neil with a shocked expression.
"Woh mein balcony se ayi," replied YUVIKA.
Neil looked at the balcony & then at Yuvika who was looking at him with so much concern.
"Neil yeh kya haal bana rakha hai tumne..ye sab.."
Yuvika was about to put her hand on his face but was stopped mid-way by Neil.
"Yuvika, please jao yahan se..Abhi nahin.",said an expression-less Neil.
"Main nahin jaungi," she got up & made Neil stand up.
"Nahin...main nahin jaungi.Tum suno. Main jaanti Hun ki Maine tumhe hurt Kiya hai.But meri apni wajah thi.Main samajh Sakti hoon tum gussa the.."
"Nahin," Neil stopped her mid-way,"Tum nahin samajhti...Tum nahin samajhti mujhe kaisa laga jab mujhe pata chala ki DJ tumhare upar bandhook tane khada hai,tum nahin samajhti kitna bebas feel kar raha tha mein darwaje ke is taraf,kitna sehem gaya tha mein yeh soch kar ki shayad tum safe nahin ho... shayad mein tumhe kho.... Nahin samajhti tum! Din bhar tumhe dekhna toh dur tumhari awaz tak nahin sun paya! Mujhe kaisa lag Raha hoga yeh sochke ki DJ ab Apne acchepan ke natak ke saath hamesha tumhare aas-paas rahega.
TUM NAHIN SAMAJHTI", said Neil in a cracked voice.
Yuvika was shocked. She never realised how much impact she has on him! It shook her.
"Neil," said Yuvika with a trembling voice,"I don't understand,yes. But I know meri galti thi. I am sorry Maine tumhe call nahin Kiya,I am sorry Maine 'family matter' wali baat boli."
There was 15 secs of silence.
"Nahin, YUVIKA tum ne agar woh baat Kahi toh kuch galat nahin kaha.Why are you sorry?Hun hi kaun mein tumhara!"
A lone tear escaped from his eyes which he wiped frantically.
"Neil...nahin" Yuvika tried to stop him.
"But pata hai tum hamesha se mere liye meri family ho.." Neil stopped for a while," Yuvika I am not liking the way I am sounding.Please I don't want to be rude with you. Jao yahan se.."
"Nahin Neil, main batana chahti hoon ki tum meri family ho bcz I love..",she was cut off. Neil put his hand on her lips.Touched her forehead with his
"Nahin Yuvika. Aaj nahin. Today I am not in a state to absorb the enormity of these words." He immediately turned around.
But YUVIKA hugged him from behind," Nahin Neil please aise dur mat jao.Mujhe batao Apne Dil ki baat, please! Main sunungi" & she started crying.
"Pal bhar thehr jao Dil yeh Sambhal jaye
Kaise tumhe roka Karun,
Meri taraf ata har gham phisal jaye
Ankho mein tumko bharun
Bin bole baatein tumse karun
Agar tum saath ho.."
Two drops of tears escaped from his eyes.He was getting suffocated. Her genuine affection & care broke the dam inside him.
He quietly released himself & sat on a chair beside his study table & kept his head down on the table.He couldn't take it anymore
YUVIKA quietly went & sat beside him on another chair,kept her head on that table, turned her face towards him & started caressing his hairs with her fingers.
"Behti rahati....leher Nadiya si
Teri duniya mein
Meri duniya hai teri chahaton mein
Mein dhal jati hoon
Teri aadaton mein
Agar tum saath ho ."
Neil was about to get up but Yuvika dragged him down by his hand. Held him by his neck & pulled him for a hug & broke down.
"Main samajhna chahti hoon, Neil. What is bothering you? Please open up. Mujhe aise dur mat karo khudse," said Yuvika crying.
Neil could not see her like this,but he himself was not in a state to console her. He caressed her hair.
" Yuvika kya bataoon...mujhe khud nahin pata mein kya mehsoos kar Raha hoon..but situation kuch bhi ho main tumhe aise nahin dekh Sakta. Baad mein baat karenge.. please jao Abhi "
He wiped Yuvika's tears & got up.
Yuvika understood that Neil was disturbed, she wanted to console him but maybe he was not ready.
She was about to pick her bag,her eyes fell on a diary, looked like a personal diary.
She looked at Neil who was standing there looking at the opposite side. She just picked the diary & kept it in her bag & was about to go.
"Ruko YUVIKA"
"Haan, Neil," said Yuvika with a slight hope.
"Jaise ayi ho..waise mat jao. Dangerous hai.Main door se chalo.."
Yuvika was soo overwhelmed! How much can a man love a woman! He can't stop caring for her even when he himself is in so much pain.
"But , Vidur uncle?"
"Main Sambhal lunga, chalo"
He held her hand & took her along with him. Yuvika was just looking at him.
Vidur was not there.
Yuvika was leaving Bharadwaj house but she kept looking at Neil who was still standing at his door looking at her. Then gradually he went back & closed the door.
YUVIKA entered Mahajan house with tears in his eyes.
