Its never been so late.Ruhaan always used to come back at home by 10 but today he was way beyond the limit
Mishti was walking to and fro the hallway looking at the door , then at clock
Radhika woke up to fill her jug of water, saw mishti tensed
Radhika: Mishti baacha, tu ab soi nai, so ja baacha Ruhaan aa jayega kai phas gaya hoga
Mishti: nai dadi vo kabhi itna late nai hota hai atleast msg tu kar deta hai pata nai kaha hai, kuch khaya bhi ya nai . Phone bhi band aa rahe hai
Radhika walks away murmuring
Asa tu saara din ladte hai aur ab wait kar rahi hai shaadi kyu nai kar lete
Mishti didnt know when she fell asleep on sofa waiting for him, she only knows that she waited whole night he didnt come
*****************_____***************
Next morning
Mishti was asleep on sofa and every one was talking muffled voice as they didnt want to disturb mishti
Radhika: pari baacha ek baar Ruhaan ko call tu kar kal raat se ghar hi nai aaya
Pari: try kar rahi hu dadi, mishti bhi wait kark so gai pata isne kuch khaya bhi nai
Ansh: Ruhaan bhai
Suddenly Ruhaan entered and his eyes fell on mishti sleeping. He knew she slept waiting for him whole night
His eyes were red as if he cried all night
Everyone gathered around him but he looked down ignored everyones question and went hurridly towards him room. Before closing the door ,he saw Mishti like he needed her
Thump!
Mishti( woke up hurridly) : Ruhaan
Dadi Ruhaan
Radhika: Abhi aaya hai, kamare mein gaya hai
She didnt listen and went straight towards his Room
She kept contiously knocking . Finally he opened the door but he didnt look Mishti in eyes
Ruhaan: baar baar knock kyu kar rahi ho
Mishti( stubborn voice) : kaha the raat bhar aur dekh kyu nai rahe meri taraf
Ruhaan:.kaam mein phas gaya tha
Mishti knew he was lying
She turned Ruhaan towards her
Mishti: jhoot bol rahe ho na tumhe pata hai tum mujhese jhoot nai bol sakte
Ruhaan( holds mishti angrily) : kyu fark padhta hai tumhe, biwi ho meri jisse sab batana hai jao yaha se
Mishti looked into his eyes intensely as if she was trying to read what was going inside him
There was silence for 15 minutes
Finally Mishti tightly hugged Ruhaan
She had tears in her eyes
Mishti: plz dont Ruhaan , apne andar itna dard mat rakho, meine rakha tha itne saal bikhar jata hai insaan, behne do aanson
Ruhaan started crying holding mishti
He fell down on floor on his knees
Ruhaan: ( crying) she forgot me, mishti meri mom mujhe bhul gai, i lost my mom mishti, my mom mishti
It hurts, it hurts that she doesnt even know i exist
Mishti hugged Ruhaan and herself starts crying
Mishti:( crying) i know Ruhaan, i know how it feels mujhe pata hai kaisa lagta hai jab apke parents ko aap chahiya hi nai. My father didnt wanted me, he didnt even know i exist , he was more happy to know that my mom lied about pregnancy. When i came to know , i questioned my existence,i felt like killing myself
I can understand how you
She cupped his cheek and looks into his eyes
But you have to fight with it for me for your mom for yourself. We are in this together
Mishti didnt know what it was was it their proximity, was it the moment
. Her emotions took over
She leaned Nd started planting kisses
First she kissed his one eye, then another eye as if she wanted to take tears away, then she kissed his forehead, then his right cheek , then his left . Ruhaan didnt know how to react all he knew was he always wished to be touched by this women
Finally mishti kissed him on his lips
Ruhaan kissed her back with equal intensity
Finally the emotions which were wanting to be named found its name
That moment both felt peace , a peace where no matter what happens, they will always be together
Their true love was registered and sealed with kiss
