Part IV
Nandini was asleep even as everyone collected their thoughts. Nivee decided to check on Arin and Anjali stepped out to call kishmish and check on her. Kavya desperately searched Yug for even a hint of his thoughts. Would Yug please just tell them what it is that he needed? Kavya got up and sat next to Yug offering his support, maybe just the presence of a friend would help? Yug faintly touched Kavya's hand almost as if he really was asking for strength and then suddenly not. He got up gently placing Nandini down. Yug's eyes wandered aimlessly and Kavya's followed them. Yug was he perhaps listening to Asha Bhonsle as her voice played in the background?
"Aaj jaane ki zidd naa karo,
Yuun hi pehlu mein baithe raho,
Aaj jaane ki zidd na karo,
Haay mar jaayenge, Hum to Lut jaayenge
"Aaj jaane ki zidd naa karo,"
Yug played the words of the song in his head again and again. His ask for the lady to stay back had a little more challenge than the song intended but still-
Yug was begging, pleading an unforgiving Nandini not to leave him. Would she just understand please, what had he done that she was leaving him for so far away. He couldn't even get there soon with Arin around. Alright, she hated him but what about Arin; she loved him enough to stay for a few more days? Yug would grovel, he would cry he would do anything but would Nandini please just not leave so soon. Why did everyone just take him for granted? He hurt too you know-
"God, Yug please speak with somebody, we've been though so much buddy."- Kavya played these words again and again in his head but was for some reason was unable to lend them a voice. And Kavya finally got up, walked to Yug and gave him a great big hug. Yug just took a deep breath and just muttered to Kavya "Why?"
Yug shook his head looking at Nandini and just looked at Kavya. Anjali walked in and looked at the two friends. As Kavya's eyes filled up with tears Yug's couldn't find any.
