Part 14
Its not that yug and vrinda weren't thinking about each other….or they didn't want to see each other…..they just didn't have the courage.
What wud they say? How wud they say it?
Yug had tried to leave his office many times, to go down to vrinda's dept, but each time his feet seemed to stop themselves, from going down there. How cud he, bharti was working there aswel.
Vrinda was just lost. She hadn't still gotten over the fact that bharti was yug's wife. That SHE was the one that he had taken her place. Vrinda was so hurt, she cud'nt bare to see yug….or bharti for that matter, she was only still here out of her majboori, but bharti just refused to leave her alone, allways chatting and laughing, and just going on and on. Every body loved her, she was friends with everyone…..no wonder yug loved her too.
Vrinda felt sick to the stomach!
Yug was sitting in his office, while he got a phone call from one of the senior members of the company, they asked him to come up and meet them in half an hours time.
Yug had finished most of his work…and he wud easily complete the rest after lunch…so he decided to head up there straight away…..maybe stretching his legs and a short walk would do him some gud…so he didn't take the elevator.
Vrinda meanwhile, was appointed another errand on the top floor, so she made her way up aswel.
On the top floor, both reach at the same time. vrinda and yug are walking down opposite ends of the corridor, when they see each other and there eyes meet.
Vrinda wanted to stop, and turn around…but her feet just keep going, yug sees vrinda….and instead of avoiding her, like he had been thinking of doing before, now he just wanted to keep seeing her. He wanted to speak to her….and be with her. All the worries in his head had just vanished.
Vrinda was so scared to face him, yet she still kept going….what was it that was pulling her towards him.
Yug saw vrindas slow down, but she was still moving towards him, he continued also, the whole time not moving his eyes from hers.
They came face to face. For a moment there was silence, but then yug began to speak.
"Vrinda" is the only thing he managed to say before they were disturbed by others walking down the corridor. Yug and vrinda froze, they tried to act like everything was normal…but it
didn't feel normal. Why did it feel like they were committing some sort of crime, just by standing there together in the corridor.
They waited for the people to pass by, and turn around the corner. Yug was gonna continue speaking, when they both heard really loud laughter. Someone else was coming around the opposite corner of the corridor. OH GOD! I just need to speak to her in private, yelled yug inside his head. Just then he saw a closet door on his left. That will do he thought. He quickly grabbed vrindas arm, opened the closet, and pulled her inside with himself. Inside it was dark and tight…very very tight. He hadnt accounted on the closet being so small on the inside…there was barely enough room for 1 person…let alone the two of them.
Ouch! Shouted yug…she was standing on his feet, he tried to move and elbowed vrinda……..ooowwwwww she said, what the hell are you doing yug….let me outa here…nowwww!!!!!
"Shush" said yug...or some one will hear.
"So…..we shudnt even be in here", she replied, you've lost ur mind. Her voice was loud and full of anger…yug knew she had to shut up…..otherwise they wud be discovered, and things wud be a lot worse. He tried to shut her mouth with his hands……but she wudnt allow it…….it was pitch black, and there was a LOT of fumbling, yug was still trying to keep her quiet and vrinda was trying to do something in the vicinity of getting him off her and strangling him with her dupatta……they both struggled with each other…….vrinda, pushed yugs head against the wall, and there was a click……followed by and ouch !
Then there was light. Yug had managed to turn the switch on with his head. The position that the two were standing in was very de-ja-vu, infact it was too familiar, and much too close for comfort. Vrinda had somehow managed to put her dupatta over her and yugs head, and yug still had his hand over her mouth. Once the light was turned on, all the fidgeting and wrestling stopped. They were lost in time. And lost in each others gaze.
They were back in the first moment they had met each other in the temple. It was as if nothing had happened since then, as if nothing else mattered. Only them. Only yug, and only vrinda. The moment cud have lasted forever, if it wasn't for the two loud men walking past outside. Their loud laughter, snapped yug and vrinda out of this trance. Vrinda was horrified, wot if someone found them out, she looked at yug who was looking at the closet door. He was so handsome, he looked so sensible in his suit, but his face still had that young school boy charm, she could feel his fast breathing, deep down vrinda wanted to be consumed by it. yug waited for the voices to become faint, then he looked back at her and saw extremely annoyed vrinda. She scared him even more, there was a time when yug would got pleasure out of annoying the hell out of vrinda, she looked so beautiful when she was angry, she had no idea. He was losing himself again in her beauty.
"Why the hell have you brought me in here yug??……what the hell are you doing??"
Yug came to his senses. "Listen…. I….umm…..just wanted to talk to you"
"So this this how you talk to people" she sot back, now yug was annoyed.
"We need to talk". he said
"About wot ?"
"vrinda" was the only thing he cud say.
"theres nothing left to talk about" said vrinda
"youre a widow….and you didn't even tell me? " he managed to squeeze out
" why would I?, it doesn't affect you any more, and it isn't any of your business……you are a married man, yug" vrindas words killed yug, but it was the truth.
"but" said yug
"but nothing…..you betrayed me yug" she cut in
"vrinda I….." he tried to explain, but she cut him off again
"You what yug ?…go on tell me…….I stayed faithful to you, and you broke my heart" she had promised herself that she wudnt let him know how he had made her feel, but the words just came out by themselves.
Vrinda had held them back long enough, but she cudnt any more, tears began to spill down her cheeks.
"faithful ?, if you were faithful vrinda you wud never have got married !" neither yug nor vrinda cud believe what he had just said. But the truth was out. yug was allways hurt. At the beginning he had faith on vrinda, even when she promised they would unite after 6 months, but deep down a thought had allways eaten away at him, that if vrinda really wanted she cud have stopped her wedding, she cud have refused." today this thought finally surfaced.
"I was majboor yug……you know that…….you left me remember, you went to London!"
If he was gonna vent his anger…she was gonna vent hers, just who did he think he was?"
" I didn't ask to get married, I had no other option…..you weren't there for support, so I caved in…….and I did stay faithful, ragbir died as chaste man! I kept my promise, but you didn't keep yours ! So you have no right to say that to me now, you got married didn't you……were you forced?? Were you forced yug??…..answer me" she pulled on his jacket, and cried.
Yug wanted to say yes……he wanted to say it so badly……that he was forced by her actions, if it wasn't for the way she was behaving with her husband, if it wasn't for her her, he would never have married bharti. That's why he had wanted to meet her that day, for her assurance to stay faithful to him, but did she give him her assurance?? No. not once did she deny what he said about her and ragbir, her actions had said it all.
But looking at vrinda now, he only blamed himself for his fate…..maybe he shud have waited, he wasn't forced to marry bharti, he willingly agreed. Yug stayed silent.
Vrinda wiped her tears. "Whatever we had yug, it is no more…..don't ever try to talk to me about it again, we are two different people, heading down different paths, we momentarily met while are paths crossed, but that's it, our destination is not the same"
She sorted her dupatta out, and turned to leave. She turned the door handle.
Yug grabbed her arm, " I wont talk to you about it again, but just tell me one thing, how long ago did he pass away?"
Vrinda looked straight at him, she pulled his grip off her arm and replied "the day you married bharti" she opened the door and left.
Yug was left shattered.
