Okay so I though I'll just continue this. :P
PART 2:
A sudden cool breeze urged her to stir in her place. She moved a bit and soon figured her head was on his lap and her left hand was clutching on to his waist. She opened her eyes and found him sitting leaned against head board of the bed, his hand resting on her head, suggesting he had been stroking her forehead and other hand clutched by her hand. He marveled at his sleeping face. He looked beautiful, yes he did. But very soon, her eyes changed its focus to the wall clock behind him according to which it was 5 AM in the morning. Suddenly, she remembered about her model and sat up, freeing herself from his protective grip.
"Randhir!" she jerked him. "Get up!"
"Han? What?" Randhir was lost.
"Arrey? Tum abhi takk yahan kyun ho! Model ka kya hoga! Its 5 AM. College 2 hours mein khulne wala hain!" she panicked.
"Main? Tum! Main toh apna hi kaam kar raha tha mann lagake. Phir tumne apni nautanki shuru kardi", he complained.
"Maine? Maine kya kiya?" her eyes narrowed.
"Tumne mujhe jaane nahin diya. Saari raat yahin pe baithake rakkha. Now I have a back pain", he stretched his body. "Abb mujhey kya pata tha ki tum ye sabb rona dhona start karr dogi? Waise toh apne aap ko bohot strong samajhti ho. Koi stupid dream kya dekhli aur ho gya nautanki shuru."
"Tumhe kaise pata chala? Tum toh chale gaye thhey naa?" she asked.
"Tum neend mein mujhe hi bula rahi thi." He mumbled.
"Kya!?" As if the sky fell on her head.
"Abb ho gayi tassalli? Ki, you need me more than anybody else?" he challenged.
Sanyukta fell silent.
"Your idiotic best friend wasn't there for you when you were in trouble. He was never there. If only you had your eyes open", Randhir walked out.
And suddenly, everything made sense to her. She lacked words. No, actually she did not want to speak anymore. She had said whatever nonsense she wanted to already. She just sat there wondering where she went wrong. And soon realized, everywhere. She was wrong. Always.
Time flies. Soon, she realized the morning sun's rays were kissing her face. She came back to self and looked around. It was 7 30 already and few students could be spotted inside the college campus already.
"Aap please bahar jaiye. Yahan ki safai karni hain" the janitor spoke.
She collected her self and walked out.
Suddenly she realized her model wasn't ready. She rushed to the lab, planningon her way how to continue the work, because she felt Randhir wouldn't complete the work. After all, she had never failed to hurt him. And today, that he let her know that, it felt even more clear to her.
'She entered the empty lab and slowly walked towards the table. What was kept on the table put an instant smile on her face. The model was ready. It looked flawless. Every edge, every diagram. Everything was perfect. But her smile slowly faded into tears. Her vision blurred as her eyes turned moist. Within a moment, she was down on the floor, crying. Hugging her knees and hiding her face into them. She cried her heart out. Not just guilt, but also a feeling of certain indebtedness. Because she knew she'd never be able to pay Randhir back for what he did for her. And so knew Randhir. Yes, he knew it was not possible for her to pay him back. Do something that was equivalent to all that he had done for her. She wanted to take back all the hurt she had given him, all the thorn-like stinging words she had ever told him. Randhir never had any condition. Never, she realized. All this make up and clothing, just petty excuses. Deep there, he felt for her. Unconditionally.' Parth thought to himself as he stood outside the lab and witnessed the girl whose heart he had stolen from another man, crying. He chose not to walk up to her and console her. He let her have her moment of realization. 'If only she had her eyes open.'
The end.
Evermore,
Rini. :)
