Hi guys. So presenting to you,

THE MUCH AWAITED DANGEROUS AND DEVASTATING AND TEARFUL SURPRISE!

Are you all excited?

WARNING:Fasten your seat belts. We're going to land on her wrong decision (surprise) soon..!"

***

After so much of struggle in her thinking process, she managed to type the text which said," Sir, I am quitting NK."

She fell on the bed straight, her face empty. She couldn't name the emotions she felt, it was all empty. She knew Mahesh Sir would never disagree to her decision. After all, it was her life. She wanted to have a safe distance from him. A distance that cannot reduce her love for him. She would keep loving him, but she had to be away. She knew he loved her, but she also knew that if she would leave him, he would just throw that blind love away. The love which was blind enough to not show him that he was too good to deserve a broken girl like her.

The knock on the door broke her reverie. She got up saying,"Yes?"

Zain entered the room with Rakesh Sir for yet another gift segment. She plastered a fake smile and spoke,"Welcome Welcome. Bade time ke baad nazar aaye ap Rakesh ji?"

"You people were busy." Rakesh replied with a smile.

"Adi. Iss k baad bhi ek lamba shot hai. Tou we don't have enough time." Zain spoke, pressing his lips together.

"Let's start then." She said and cleaned the bed.

They started the segment. He kept on asking her to open his gifts even and she kept on following his commands. He kept on cracking his lame jokes and she kept on laughing. Silence took over. She was busy opening her gift. She unwrapped it only to find a pink coloured teddy with a card. She opened the card and tried to conceal her laughter which didn't go unnoticed by Zain. 

"Kya hai is mein aisa?" He asked still focusing on his gifts.

"Okay. Tou. Hmmmm." She fumbled with words and laughed out aloud making Zain's movement come to a halt. He observed her keenly and asked again, "What?"

"Iss mein likha hai ke Will You Marry Me?" She quickly spoke and Zain's hands stopped working on his own gifts. After a good few seconds, he again started playing with his gifts. Finding an empty reaction from him, she said," Mein yeh nhi le skti. Kya karun?"

"Jawab do. Wo tumhare answer ka wait kar rahe hain Aditi." He spoke, his eyes fixed on his own gift.

He found a gift which was a pretty ring. He gave it to her saying, "Ye wohi proposal ring hai."

She took it and kept it aside, smiling, she said,"Mein nahi le sakti."

The segment ended on not a very good note for him and Rakesh Sir left.

As soon as he left the room , Zain got up and locked the door. He then picked up that card, that teddy and the ring and she knew what was coming. He stood up and he threw three of the things out of the window, shocking her to the core. He then pinned her to the wall.

"Kya. What are you doing?"

"Wohi. Jo mujhe bohot pehle kardena chahiye tha!" He spoke, entwining his hand with hers.

She tryied to free herself, "Matlab?"

"Matlab yeh k tumhe jawab dena nahi aata? Seedhi tarah se reject kar sakti thi us proposal ko. But no! Kya karun. Mein nhi le sakti! And all that!"

She sighed,"What happend?"

He left her, though not completely, "Kuch nahi!"

"Zain. Are you alright?" She asked, concerned. "No. I'm not." He replied, squeezing his eyes.

"What happened?" She asked slowly, coming forward.

He was not able to control anymore, "I love you dammit!"

A tear escaped her eye as she stepped back, her back hitting the door. She gasped softly, her tear filled eyes not leaving his face. She tried to breathe, clutching onto her top.  She feared this the most. She never wanted him to confess because she might not be able to leave him then. But he did. He confessed, though she didn't want him to. 

He stepped closer to her as she looked straight into his eyes. He kissed her left eye sucking onto her tears. Her hands rested on his shoulders as he pulled her to himself, the most intimate hug he ever experienced. She kept her head on his chest, closing her eyes tight.

Hugging her close, he spoke," Adi. I love you for who you are. You mean a lot to me. You're the last thing I want to loose. You're the thought I wake up to, and the thought I fall asleep to. You make me so happy and cared for. I want to keep you in my life for as long as possible. I love you, and make sure you don't forget that. I love you for all that you're, all you were and all you're yet be."

This was the last thing she wanted. She knew she meant a lot to him, she couldn't speak anything. May be, it was the last time she was having him this close. She just wanted to live this moment. 

The knock on the door broke their moment. They heard the spot boy calling Aditi. She opened the door and he told him that Mahesh Sir came to meet her. Her heart raced as she saw Zain confused.

"I'm.. coming." She spoke and closed the door.

"Why does he want to meet you?" He asked, furrowing his brows.

Aditi knew she would fumble with words,"I'm coming. You go, rehearse for you scenes. I'll.. be back."

Zain smiled and spoke before leaving, "I love you."

She closed the door as he left. Pinning herself to the door, she cried until she was tired. Why did this happen? Why at this time?

Getting up, she splashed some water on her face, and walked to Mahesh Sir's room.

Her hands quivered as she gave a teeny tiny knock on the door. She entered and found him looking at some files.

His gaze went up and he gave a smile to her.

" Yes? Come. Sit." He spoke.

"So.. Ms Rathore. Why do you want to quit the show?" He asked, keeping the files aside.

His words echoed in her ears,"I love you dammit. Adi.. I love you for who you are. You mean a lot to me.  You make me so happy and cared for. I love you and make sure you don't forget that."

Her breathe hitched and she licked her lips, sighing.

"Family issues sir. Some personal ones." She replied, biting into her lower lip.

"Hmm. Show will suffer a great loss Aditi." Mahesh pointed, enjoining his hands together.

"I know. I can't manage Sir." She lied again.

"Are you sure Aditi? You are the life of this show." He again tried.

Aditi looked down, "I'm 110% sure."

"Okay then. You may leave. Thank you." He smiled slowly.

Aditi got up to go when she heard,"Think thrice again Aditi. Still you have time."

She turned around, plastering a fake smile,"Sochne ki ab na koi zaroorat hai or na chaahat. I'm leaving Sir."

"We're ending the show then." He spoke, tapping his fingers on the table.

She faced away from him rubbing her tears away, "As you wish."

She walked out of the room, his words still ringing in her ears. She saw Jahaan, Gautam, Poonam, Gulfam and Sayantani laughing and chit chatting in the hall. She observed them keenly from behind a pillar as Zain joined them. A tear rolled down her cheek as she thought that she would breaking too many hearts.
