woww superb..waiting waiting 😳😳👏
His phone was ringing for the tenth time in a row.
He slowly opened his eyes and realised that he had slept sitting on the floor last night..
His head was resting on the bed and his hands were clutching onto a photograph on his chest,close to his heart.
Anu's photo,HIS Anu.
As he opened his eyes,all the events that had happened in the past few days, started to haunt him again..
Right from Shastri uncle's heart attack to Anu giving back her mangalsutra and then the most horrible thing - Anu signing the annulement papers.
"How could she do that? How? Doesn't she love me anymore? Did she EVER love me?"
"What am I thinking? Ofcourse she loves me.I know she loves me." He mentally rebuked himself.
His phone started ringing again,but he was not in a mood to talk to anybody.
Actually he hasn't talked to anybody for the past few days at all.
He has turned into a Zombie.
He goes to office,comes back and locks himself in the room. Most of the times he doesn't even have his meals..
He came out of his trance as his phone started to ring again,but he didn't pick it up and it stopped ringing.
He took his phone to switch it off when he noticed that there were 15 missed calls.
"Who could it be? Who is calling so many times so early in the morning?"
She has slowly started to panic.
Why isn't he picking up the phone? Is he alright?Shankarji,hope he is fine.
Just as he was going to check whose missed calls are these,his phone started to ring again and the name that flashed on his phone screen brought a smile on his face.
"ANU Calling.."
He answered the phone " Woh Anu,main woh so raha tha.
Sorry Anu. Tumne 15 baar phone kiya? Tum thik toh ho nah?"
He was worried..
As soon as he received her call,she started " Aap thik toh hain nah,main kabse phone kar rahi hoon,Aap phone kyun nehi utha rahe the?" There was worry and concern in her voice..
"Tumhe abhi bhi meri itni fikar hain?"
"Rajat,humein aapse milna hain. Aaj 5 PM lake side pe" She said and hung up the call.
Rajat's happiness knew no bounds. He felt like someone has placed the moon in his hands..
"Humein maaf kar dena Rajat,but I had to do this. I cant see you suffering like this. I had to do this for you. I know,what I am going to do will break you,but then someone said that the emotion that breaks your heart is sometimes the very one that heals it. I have to break your heart,so that you can move on in your life and be happy. I have to do it." Tears started rolling down her cheeks.
Rajat couldn't wait for the clock to strike 5,HIS Anu has asked to meet her,the same Anu who,a few days back had told him that they wont meet again.He was on cloud 9.
He went to the washroom to freshen up and then went outside his room and shouted,"MOM where is my breakfast?I am hungry"
Minty was surprised. After so many days,Rajat has come out of his room and started a conversation himself and was looking really happy.
***********************************
As he reached the lake side,he could see that she has already reached there.
There she is standing,HIS Anu,in a red salwar suit and white dupatta facing the lake.
He paced towards her,and hugged her from behind..
"Anu tum nehi janti main aaj kitna khush hoon..
Mujhe paata tha,tum mere paas zaroor aogi,mera pyaar tumhe mere paas khichke layega"
She broke the hug and said,"Rajat humein aapse ek zaroori baat karni hain",
But she didn't turn towards him.
He put his hands on her shoulder and turned her to face him and said,
"Tumhe jitni baatein karni hain karo Anu,I'm all yours" and put one hand on his chest and bowed down just a little to add dramatic flair.
"Rajat,humari shaadi tey ho gayi hain."
"HAHAHA.That was a very bad joke Anu."
Waise main jaanta hoon ki tumhari sense of humour bohat hi buri hain ,
Par Mrs Rajat Sareen pe Mr. Rajat Sareen ke mind blowing sense of humour ka kuch toh asar hona chahiye nah " He said with a smile on his face.
"Hum sach keh rahe hain Rajat.",she said with her face lowered.
" Hum nehi chahte the ki yeh baat aap ko kisi aur se paata chale , iss liye hum khud aapko yeh baatana chahte the .
Rajat , aap . Aap bhi zindagi mein aage barhiye . "
His smile vanished and he was now exasperated. "Yeh kya bole jaa rahi ho tum Anu?
Tum janti bhi ho ki tum kya bol rahi ho?" he almost shouted.
"Hum jante hain Rajat aur yehi sach hain.
Ek hafte mein humarii shadi hain"
"Yeh nehi ho sakta Anu,tum kaise kisi aur se shadi kar sakti ho? "
"Hum majboor hain Rajat ,humne papa ko kasam diya tha..
Woh kasam hum kaise tod dein Rajat?"
"Ohh,toh tum apne papa ko diye hue ek kasam ke liye mere saath shaadi ke waqt liye saat kasme tod dogi?
Tumne aise kaise keh diya ki tum kissi aur se shadi kar rahi ho?
Mera kya Anu?
Mere pyaar ka kya?" Rajat yelled..
"Rajat hum apne papa se bohat pyar karte hain"
"Aur mujhse Anu? Tum mujhse pyaar nehi karti?"
"Rajat, hum apne papa ke liye apni jaan bhi de sakte hain,aur hum wohi kar rahe hain..
Aap humari jaan ho,aur apne papa ke liye hum aapko chhor rahe hain" Tears rolled down her cheeks..
"Nahin!!"Main tumse pyaar karta hoon aur main tumhe khabi kissi aur ka hone nahin dunga! Khabi nahin!".
He came to stand in front of her and grabbed Anu by the shoulders.
Anu gently pushed his hands off her shoulders. "Faisla hochuka hai," she said, her voice cracking with emotion.
"Nahin Anu, nahin! Iss faisle ko main nahin manta! Main tumhe kissi aire gaire ke saath jaane nahin deh sakta," he said.
"Unka naam Veer hain."
At this point Rajat was feeling like he is fighting a lost battle.And what was the use of fighting this battle,when the person for whom,for whose love,he was fighting this battle,had already given up?
How long can he fight alone?
But then,he remembered that as an Air Force officer,he was taught to fight till his last breath,so he kept trying.
"Anu, tum mere saath aisa kyun kar rahi ho ?
Please mere zindagi ko aise adhura chhor ke maat jao , mera dil todke maat jao,Anu.
Tum mujhe thora waqt do,main sab kuch thik kar dunga",he pleaded..
"Kya thik karenge aap Rajat?
Papa aur minty aunty kabhi bhi nehi manenge."
"Main sabko mana lunga Anu,sabko.
Mujhe thora waqt do" he pleaded again..
"Nehi Rajat bohat der ho chuki hain.
Papa ne Veer ke gharwalo ko apna zubaan de diya hain."
Rajat was feeling helpless,He could just say,"Par . Par main tumse pyaar karta hoon , Anu"
"Phir humein jaane dijiye Rajat"
"Kaise? kaise jaane doon rumhe main? Kaise?" Rajat asked as he leaned his forehead against Anu's, his hands on her waist.
"Kaise tumhe kissi aur ka hota hua dekhoon? Kaise tumse door rahoon? Kaise tumhe bhool jaoon? Kaise Anu, kaise?"
" Rajat please!" Anu yelled as she stepped out of his embrace.
They stood there silently, with just the sound of the winds blowing around them. Rajat looked at Anu's red, teary eyes and he knew that she was just in as much pain as he was. He looked at her .
And as he looked at her, he had one question on his mind - how was he going to live without her? How was he going to live without her smile, her smell, her laughter? How was he going to live without her tantrums? How was he going to live without her love? How, how was he going to live without her? Just the thought of a life time without her by his side brought tears to his eyes..
"Ek baat jaanlo Anu. Main kaal tumse pyaar karta tha, aaj bhi karta hoon aur humesha karta rahunga," Rajat said. "Tum shayad meri nahin rahogi, lekin main...main humesha tumhra hi rahunga."
At that comment, Rajat saw Anu's eyes once again fill with tears. After a moment's pause she wrapped her arms tightly around his neck. Rajat wrapped his own arms around her waist and held her, his heart breaking because he knew this would be the last. She held on for a few seconds as her tears fell and wet his shirt. It was like she was holding onto him for dear life, and in some way, she was.
The instant her grip loosened Anu said, " Hum bhi aapse bohat pyaar karte hain ," before untangling her arms and running away.
Rajat watched as she ran away while wiping the tears from her face. He watched her going away from him, her payals making that familiar chan-chan sound that they did. He hoped that she turn back - once, just once - but she didn't.
She knew that whatever she has done,would have broken Rajat.She wanted to turn back,once,to see,whether Rajat was alright?But she knew that if she turned back, she wouldn't be able to do what she had planned, she wouldn't be able to leave him.
Rajat stood there as she disappeared from sight, but he could still hear her. He stood there listening to the sound of her payals.
She was wearing the payals that he had gifted her..
He waited until he could hear them no more. Then, as the dark clouds closed in around him, Rajat fell to his knees, tears over taking his will power. As he cried in his loss, as his soul cried in its vulnerability and as his heart cried in its emptiness, the heavens joined him. The clouds released their own tears, which drowned out Rajat's.
He'd always thought love was the be all and end all of live. He thought once you found love you were set. As long as your love was unconditional and pure, nothing could come between your love and the one you loved. But he was wrong. He loved Anu with his whole heart and soul, every fiber of his being but now she was gone. It was like he was waking up from the sweetest dream, but now as reality set in, all he had was the memories of that dream. Love hadn't been enough.
Rajat and Anushka,Anushka and Rajat - The Soulmates
**********************************
Anu came back home,all drenched in the rain.
As she reached home,she saw Veer was waiting for her there..
Seeing her,Veer came towards her and said, "Kahan thi tum Anu? See,I have come to take you for shopping" and grinned..
Anu didn't look at him,and said,"Ra, Veer, Hum bohat thak gaye hain, "
"What is this Ra,Veer? My name is Veer hun!Naam to suna hi hoga!" He stretched his arms to recreate that famous SRK posture and chuckled.
Anu said,"hum thora aram karna chahte hain.Hum kal baat karein?" And even before he could say something,she went towards her room and locked the door..
After entering her room,Anu fell on her knees and broke down.
She cried her heart out..
Devyani knocked at the door.
"Devyani please humein thori der akela chhor do." Anu said.
Devyani left and Anu kept on crying at the loss of her love,HER Rajat.
Devyani banged the door again and called her name..
She again said,"Devyani please humein kuch der akela rehne do"
To which she replied,"Kuch der? Tum shaam ke 6 baje se kamre ke andar baithi ho , aur ab raat ke 12 baaj rahe hain? Aur kitni der , Anushka ?"
Anu didn't even realise when she had fallen asleep on the floor,crying.And it was not her fault though.She hadn't slept for so many nights.But more than the physical tiredness,it was the mental and emotional fatigue that was taking a toll on her.She was tired of fighting now.Fighting with the circumstances,fighting with her heart..
She came out of the trance when Devyani again said,"Anu please darwaza kholo.
Humein tumse baat karni hain"
"Par humein abhi koi baat nehi karni Devyani. Please humein akela chhor do" she said somewhat irritated.
"Anu,woh Rajat"
RAJAT,that one name was enough.
"Rajat?Kya hua Rajat ko?Woh thik toh hain nah?" She rushed to the door and opened it.
"Anu,Neel ne bataya ki,Rajat aaj dopahar ko ghar se nikla tha,aur abhi raat ke 12 baaj rahe hain,woh ab tak ghar nehi lauta.
Tum use milne gayi thi nah?
Kya hua wahan?"
Anu felt like,that ground beneath her feet was slipping away.
She stood there motionless.
Devyani shook her and asked,"Kuch toh bolo.
Kya hua?"
Anu could just mouth a feeble "RAJAT" and then she ran towards the main door.
"Kahan jaa rahi ho Anu?" Devyani asked..
"Humein jaana hain Devyani.."
"kahan jaana hain Anu? Itne raat ko tum kahan jaogi akele? Rukooo."
Anu ran downstairs..
Devyani went behind her and she signalled Neel,who was standing there all worried for his brother,to go with Anu..
Neel "Bhabhi,umm A , aap kahan jaa rahi hain?"
"Woh,Rajat. Hum" Anu murmured
"Rukiye main bhi apke saath chalta hoon"
Neel and Anu went towards the car.They sat inside the car and sped.
