Forgive the grammatical errors and typos. Here goes...,
The early morning sun rose up expanding its blinding rays all across the world. It's gleam disrupted the sleeping souls of Amboli. Mukhi who was an early riser woke up with a jolt as the dusk abdicated its hold over the terrain to give way for the newly erupting dawn.
He was bestowed with an awe inspiring sight right in front of him, first thing in the morning. His face split up with a hearty beam at the view of such a beautiful woman in his room, probably for the last time. The very thought evoked an abrupt pain into his senses.
He had learnt to live his life without a woman companion in his room, ever since his manhood. But at this autumn of his life, his little sister's stubbornness led this captivating girl enter into his life, room and lastly into his heart as well. He had tried his best to send her, back to her city of dreams, shunt her off from his life. Destiny, however had its own plans regarding them. It brought them together on various excuses, no matter how hard both had tried to squeeze out of this enforced bond.
Mukhi heaved a sigh, if only she had left the day after their wedding, or after Mishri's wedding as she'd been planning to, things would have been far easier for him by now. He could've put on an act of being contented in his loneliness to others as well as to his inner self. However, Aru, his own Gaurani has invaded into his heart slowly and steadily by now. Tender feelings he had for her, which he was hesitant of revealing to anyone, due to the biggest hurdle in their relationship to work, their age difference according to him.
She was a young girl, so full of life, who must have had so many dreams about her future life and her husband, for which he definitely wasn't perfect. She needed a guy who is younger, fresher and trendy. He made up his mind to put an end to this relationship as soon as possible, before he gets into any extreme phase of attachment with no returns.
He had put up a false mask of ignorance and vexation in front of her since a couple of days, for the very reason. Further involvement with her could make it worse for him, thus he had to become indifferent to her emotions. Nevertheless, he hasn't able to comprehend Aru's recent demeanor at all. She has been behaving weird with Saanvi especially, her actions weren't suiting her usual sweet and polite persona.
Today was the day he had booked her tickets back to Ahmedabad. Firsthand he wasn't ready to accompany her, fearing the consequences of his full fledged heartache at the realization of losing her. But then Saanvi's medical emergency paved way for his trip to Ahmedabad. Mukhi noticed that her bags were packed and set in the corner of the room, as they were supposed to start within a few hours.
An hour later, after finishing breakfast, Mukhi was probing his cupboard in search of the bus tickets. He sauntered towards the several cupboards and wardrobes laid all over the room but to no avail. Getting exhausted of not finding them, he slouched down to settle on the couch. Downwards he shifted his legs to find something. When closely looked at he realized that it was the torn pieces of the bus tickets.
Bubbling with anger, he called for Aru.
"Gaurani... Gaurani...!" She came running there, clueless to the intense rage his voice resounded with.
"Kya hua, Mukhiji ?"
"Yeh kya hai bolo? Tickets ko kisne fekh diya aise?"
"..." Aru was silent and something in her expressions told him that there wasn't some third person involved.
"Sach batao, aise kiya kisne?"
"... "
"Main kuch pooch raha hoon, Gaurani...! Sach batao!" He said holding her arms and shaking her up in frustration.
"Maine kiya.." she hissed with anger.
"Par kyun...? Dimaag karab hogaya Tera? Kya Sochkar inn tickets ko faadkar fekha tune?"
"Main yaha se jaana nahi chahti Mukhiji. Main yahi rukna chahti hoon!" She cried in a hurtful tone staring intently at him.
"Gaurani, tum kyun nahi samajhti? Tumhe yaha se jaana hoga. Tumhari kushi udhar hain jahan tumhari sapno sach ho sake. Aur waise bhi iss rishte mein na chahte hue tum fas gayi. Jab tumhe aazadhi mil rahi hai, usse kyun kona chahti hai tu, bolo!"
"Mujhe iss bandhan se chutkara nahi chahiye!"
"Par kyun?" He muttered angrily.
"Mukhiji, kya aap sach mein nahi samajh paathe ki kyun main aapse iss rishtey se mukt nahi karna chahti?"
"Nahi gaurani. Main bilkul samajh nahi sakta. Aisa Kaunsa wajah hai, jiski wajah se tum mujhe thalaak dena nahi chahti, iss Rishta joh tumhe mujhse, ek bayalis saal ka aadmi se jud raha hai, apne sapno ko poora Karne se rok raha hai. Kyun bolo!" Mukhi said shaking his head in an exhausted tone.
"Mukhiji aapko kaise baataon, ki Mujhe mere shaher ki sapno se zyada aapke saath yeh gaav ki unnata ke liye kaam karna achche lagne laga hain. Shaher ke suvidha se zyaada aapke gaav ki kamiyon pe bhi lagav hone laga hai. Mujhe bahar ki kubsoorti ke saath andar ki sundarta bhi dikhne lagi hai. Aapki aachai, vinamrata, badappan inn sabki wajah se aapse ek gehra sa rishta jud gaya. Mukhiji, mujhe iss gaav se, aapki har cheez se lagav hai . Ab bhi nahi samjhe, ... Main... aapse...Pyar Karne lagi hoon!" She finally confessed.
Mukhi's eyes reflected immense shock, mingled with disbelief as well.
"Aisa nahi ho sakta... Tum mazaak kar rahi ho kya? Yaa phir mujhpar daya dika rahi ho? Mishri ki baaton ko lekar? Jo Kasam usne li tumse mere kayal rakhne ki?
Aisa ho toh, Tumhe meri fikar Karne ki koi zaroorat nahi, Gaurani. Tumhare jaane ke baad main apne aap sambhaloonga." He said in a shaky voice trying his best to sound confident about his words.
"Kyun Mukhiji, main kyun mazaak karoongi aapke saath Balah? Woh bhi aisi apni dil ki baat ko lekar, yakeen kijiye meri. kabhi bhi aisi gandi mazaak nahi kar sakti."
"...Par meri dingli ke baaton ko lekar..." he started uncertainly. But Aru's words stopped him.
"Aur mishri ko mera diya hua vaada? Main sirf uss kasam ke liye, aapke saath rukna nahi chahti. Balki main sach mein aapse pyar karti hoon. Humare iss bandan ko khatam kabhi nahi karna chahti." She said.
"Gaurani, main iske liye apni marzi nahi de sakta, Kabhi nahi. Umar kya hai tumhari? Main Tumhare liye sahi nahi hoon. Tumhe koi aisa Jeevansaathi milni chahiye, joh tumhare liye sab hisaab se sahi ho." He said. "Mujhe talaak de do, aur koi aise chokre ko doond lo, jo tumhare liye har maayne me theek hai."
"Mukhiji, aapko nahi lagta ki mere zindagi ki faisle mujhe khud leni chahiye? Apni dil ki baat bata di maine. Aap uska badle mein pyar dena nahi chahte toh theek hain. Par mere baavnaon ka Apman mat kijiye!"
"Gaurani, main apmaan nahi kar raha hoon. sirf yeh keh raha hoon, ki main tumhare liye sahi nahi hoon!"
"Mukhiji, kya aap mere sirf ek sawal ka jawab de sakte hain?" She asked
"..."
"Boliye, kya aap sach bata sakte hain, bataaiye na?"
"Kaunsa sawal...?"
"Mujhe sirf yeh jaanna hai, kya aapke mann mein mere liye kuch bhi nahi? Kya aap mujhe pasand nahi karte?" She asked in a hurtful tone.
Mukhi turned away, and said without meeting her eyes
"Nahi. Mere mann mein tumhare liye kuch bhi nahi hai!"
Aru grabbed his arms, turned him around to meet her eyes, she took his hand in hers and lifted it to keep it on her head, "Wahi baat mere kasam kaake kahiye! Ki aap mujhse pasand nahi karte... Kahiye Mukhiji!" She said
"Main... sach mein..." he muttered in an hesitant tone, a moment later he took his hand off her head, and muttered "main aisa nahi kar sakta.. Tum jao yaha se!"
He yelped.
"Aap aisa bata dijiye, mere kasam khake ki main aapko pasand nahi hoon, phir shanti se chali jaaongi Yaha se, aapke zindagi se. Dubara apni shakal dekhne ka mauka nahi doongi!"
"Main kasam nahi kaa sakta, Gaurani!"
"Kyun Nahi keh sakte, Mukhiji..?" She reprimanded him.
"Kyunki mein tumhari jooti Kasam nahi kaa sakta..!"
"Jhooti Kasam...?" She muttered, And it struck her what he meant by that.
"Bataiye Mukhiji... Kasam kaaiye na meri..." she prompted him further.
"Nahi Gaurani!"
"Kyun nahi...?"
"Kyunki mein tumhe pasand karta hoon. Sirf Pasand Nahi, pasand toh koi bhi tumhe karega, main tumse pyaar karta hoon, Gaurani! Aur waise kaise jhooti Kasam kaa sakta ?" He said in a thick voice, and instantly realized what he had blabbered in an abstract trance.
"Aap mujhse pyaar...?" Aru's eyes welled up with tears.
"Aajtak kyun nahi bataya aapne? Kyun chupa rahe the apne pyaar ko?" She punched him on his chest with her slender fist.
"Gaurani, mera umar kya hai... Main tumse apna pyar chupana pada...! Main tumhare liye sahi nahi hoon! Tumhe koi aur, tumhari umar ki milni chahiye." She kept her palm on his mouth.
"Mujhe koi aur, kam umar ki noujawan shayad mil sakta hai. Par mujhe nahi chahiye aisa koyi. Mujhe sirf aap aur aapke pyaar chahiye Mukhiji.!" She muttered in a resolute voice and embraced him in an instant, who couldn't refrain anymore and hugged her back letting off his resolve. And thus the two became one finally!
