SHIVAY POV

 

 

"Why are you doing this Shivay? Talk to Bhabhi Ma (sister-in-law) once. Don’t do this to yourself and her as well” Karan spoke pacing in my cabin frustrated.

 

I am standing at the window puffing my cigarette, Sun is setting, and it feels like my life is also setting with him. I will be again surrounded by darkness. My life again going to be empty. I will be alone again. 

This all feels like dream or can say a nightmare for me. I just want to wake up and hold my queen in my arms. 

 

But sadly it’s a reality, the reality of my life. If this is the end then why it’s all started? Does God hate me so much? 

 

“Shivi I am talking to you. Are you even listening to me?” I heard his irritating voice.

 

I “hmm” but my thoughts never stopped. 

 

“Talk to me goddammit” I hear him again.

 

But I flinched not. In my mind only one view was roaming, Shipra hugging that guy and they both were kissing each other. 

With love maybe?

 

But again why did she lie? I gave her a fair chance to speak but what she did? Lie all lie. 

 

“Shivi don’t do something, which you repent your whole life buddy. Everyone is not the same.” I hear again Karan’s voice but right now I don’t need anyone’s advice.

 

I told Karan some bits and pieces but I have not told him the truth. Whatever it is I will never disgrace Shipra in front of anyone.

 

But again why did she disgrace me. Why she disgrace our Love?

 

Not looking at her I feel like someone has taken my breath away. It felt like there is no oxygen in the air. No one has any idea how painful it is for me to leave without her.

 

I went to my cabinet in my cabin and took the bottle of single malt and made a drink for me.

 

“Shivi what are you doing man? Is this the way you will solve this problem?” Karan spoke in irritation. 

 

“Karan I would like to be alone for some time. Please leave”. I spoke making my drink.

 

“Hell no, I am not going anywhere leaving you alone.” He deadpans on his decision and took the bottle from my hand.

 

“Karan Please” I pleaded with him but I know better.

 

“I said No means No” He is one hell stubborn fellow is.

 

“Fine then let me be” saying I snatch the bottle from his hand and made my drink and gulp in one go.

 

This is the only thing that will take away my running thoughts and give me some peace of mind.

 

Karan sat on the chair looking at me drinking back to back but says nothing.

 

“Shivi she loves you and you also love her. Please don’t do this man” He huff in irritation again.

 

Hearing this I started laughing like a maniac “ If she loved me, she would’ve not done this. I loved her so much Karan but you know what? KOI TUMSE PYAAR NA KARE, ISSE TUMHARA PYAAR KAM NAHI HO JATA. TUMHARA PYAAR KAFI HAI, TUM KAFI HO.” Saying I gulp one more drink and Karan was looking painfully to me. 

 

 

“Karan, do not feel bad for me brother, this is nothing we have seen worse right? I will come out of this too it’s just a matter of time.” Saying I took one more deep puff of my cigarette and went back to my old place my favourite place my window.

 

 

Karan surprisingly stopped talking and let me do what I wanted to.

 

 

I reached the palace with Karan and went into my chamber but I want to see her just once I want to see her.

 

 

Thinking I went to her room and saw her sitting nearby the window looking outside don’t know what. 

 

 

SHIPRA POV

 

It’s been five days since I am in this room. I don’t feel like to do anything nor do I feel like going to do my work I just want to sit at my window and look outside.

 

 

Rama was constantly checking on me and Pehu has become my regular visitor.

 

 

I just sit like this lifelessly at one place for hours and hours without knowing when the day comes and when night.

 

“Rani Sa you should eat something” I heard a voice of Rama

 

"I am not hungry Rama. You go if I need anything I will call” I spoke still looking straight ahead of the garden from my window.

 

"No Rani Sa I can’t leave you, You know this so please” She requested me same thing which she does every day.

 

I did not answer back and sat at the same place.

 

“EKAANT” (leave) I heard the voice I was dying to hear.

 

My head snaps in the direction I hear the voice from.

 

And he was standing in all his glory black shirt and Jense.

 

 

His hair was a little dishevelled and his shirt was folded to his elbow and these whole casuals make him look hot as ever.

 

I did not get up from my seat because somehow I don’t believe he is real so I just kept on looking at his side.

 

I saw Rama run out hearing his voice closing the door behind. 

 

His eyes were looking straight at me and mine his like we are having some kind of contest.

 

I tilted my head a little to get a better vision. 

 

 

He started taking steps towards me and I stood up and started taking steps towards him. We both reached at foot distance from each other and looking in each other’s eyes in dimmed light and this pin drop silence room. 

 

Seeing his face after so many days made my eyes teary. 

 

 

“Rana Sa” I whisper and tear dropped from my right eye.

 

“I told you before I don’t like tears in your eyes Rani Sa” He spoke cleaning my tears.
