Part 14

"Because I know you love me" 

Did he just say that!?

So he is back to using his Mind Reading Skills/7th Sense/Common Sense.

What do I do now?

Did you forget Ishita that whenever he uses theses extraordinary skills of his, you tend to lose all your senses?

How can I forget? That's exactly what's happening now!

My brain refuses to think and my heart refuses to beat.

My eyes refuse to blink and my limbs refuse to move. 

As per medical science, this condition is termed as death.

Am I dead already? 

Just as I was about to make use of my medical knowledge and declare myself dead I heard him sing in a soothing and heartwarming voice which acted like CPR (Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation) and got me back to life

"Meri bheegi bheegi si palkon pe rehgayi

Jaise mere sapne bikhar ke

Jale man tera bhi

Kisike milan ko

Anamika tu bhi tarse"

A sharp pain in my heart, followed by a blood rush to my brain, got me moving my hand to hold the bedpost for support and I closed my eyes to let go the tears that had stayed so long in its boundaries.

Ajnabi's POV

"Kuch bolo Anamika" I begged.

I was dying to know what she feels for me. 

Not that I didn't know it already.

I knew she loves me. 

I was 100% sure correction 99% sure that she loves me as much as I love her.

Why 99%? 

Many reasons...

1#She has never confessed

2#She didn't recognize me last time

3#She refused to acknowledge my last call

I guess these are enough reasons for being 1% unsure. Right!?

But again are these reasons enough to believe she loves me?

Well I am not sure about it!

Sometimes in life you face such situation when you are 99% sure about a thing but that 1% doubt overpowers.

Thats exactly why I needed a confirmation from her.

"Anamika...mai tumhare jawab ka intezar kar raha hun"

"Maine kaha na in baton ka koi matlab nahi"

"Matlab hai isiliye to puch raha hun. My life depends on your reply Anamika"

"Samajhne ki koshish karo please. Ab kuch nahi ho sakta"

"Tum kehke to dekho"

"Jo baat kehne se mamle bigad sakte hain wo baat ankahi ho to hi behtar hai"

"Agar usi baat se male sudhar jayein to?"

"Ab aisi cheezon ki ummeed karna bhi bekar hai"

"Ummeed pe to duniya qayam hai. Bas ek baar keh do"

"Kis bharose pe kahun? I am ENGAGED aur 14 Feb ko meri zindagi badalne wali hai"

"Zindagi to hamari pichle saal 6 Feb ko badli thi, jab hum pehli baar mile the"

"Kash hum us din na mile hote"

"Kash maine usi din tumhe apni dil ki baat bata di hoti"

"Kash maine tumhara haath thaama hi na hotha"

"Kash tum mujhe chodkar hi na jathi"

"Kash us din tumhari jagah Raman hote"

"Kash aaj Raman ki jagah mai hota"

"Raman mujhse bahut pyar karte hain" she cried aloud.

"Aur tum?"

"Mai...mai...mai is bare me bat nahi karna chahti"

"Aur mai isi bare me baat karna chahta hun"

"Please...stop this crap"

"I will...bas ek baar keh do ke tum mujhse pyar karti ho"

"I can't"

I can't she said not I don't

"Iska matlab tum mujhse pyar karti ho!?"

Now I am 99.5% sure that she loves me.

She didn't accept that she does but she didn't deny either!

I am sure 0.5% will be cleared soon.

I am waiting for that day.

"Maine kaha na I don't want to talk about it"

"Kis baat ka dar hai?"

"Tumse dar lagta hai"

"Mai tumse pyar karta hun Anamika"

"I don't believe it"

"Raman ke pyar pe bharosa hai, mere pyar pe nahi"

"Pyar ki bunyad yaqeen par hoti hai. Mujhe tum par yaqeen hi nahi to pyar kaise hoga"

"To jab mujhpe yaqeen hoga to maanogi ke mujhse pyar hai"

"Haan"

"To ab mai us din ka intezar karunga jis din tumhe mujhpe poori tarah yaqeen hoga aur mujhe patha hai wo din jald hi ayega"

"2 hafton me aisa kya hoga jo 11 mahine aur 3 hafton me nahi hua?"

"Ye to waqt hi batayega"

"Waqt! Waqt hi to nahi hai mere paas. 14 Feb ko meri zindagi badalne wali hai"

"14 Feb ko hamari zindagi badalnewali hai. Mujhe intezar hai 14 Feb ka, tum bhi intezar karna" and with that I disconnected the call.

Knock Knock 

"Yes come in"

"Sir wo ek ghanta hogaya to I hope I didn't offend you"

"Its ok Manvi. Batao kya kaam hai?"

"Sir wo publishers ka phir se call aya tha. Wo pooch rahe the kab milna hai"

"Unse kaho ke kahani abhi adhoori hai. Ye kahani 14 Feb ko poori hogi"

Ishita's POV  

Thud I sat on the floor hugging my knees unable to fathom the turn of events. I don't for how long I have been sitting here,staring at point blank pouring silent tears.

"Akka...kahan ho aap?" I heard Mihika calling out for me.

I quickly wiped off the tears and tried to compose myself.

"Akka aap kar kya rahe ho tab se? Raman Jiju ka call aya tha. Bata rahe the ke apka number busy tha isiliye mujhe call kiya"

"Oh" I could manage only that.

"Unhone bataya ke apki outfit ghar deliver karwa denge agar fittings me koi chnage hona ho to designers ko inform kar dein"

"Ok" I cleared my throat. 

"Akka! Aap theek to ho?"

"Haan mai theek hun. Mujhe kya hua hai" I said looking everywhere but her.

"Akka! Look here" she said firmly and swiftly turned me towards her "Akka! Aap ro rahe the?"

"Nahi to...mai kyun..."

"Akka apki ankhein saaf bata rahi hain ke aap ro rahe the. Kya hua hai Akka? Mujhe nahi bataoge?"

"Kuch nahi hai Miku"

"Wait one minute. Jiju ne kaha apka line busy tha. Kisse baat kar rahe the aap? Aur aisa kya keh diya us shaks ne ke aapko rona agaya"

Sach me hum behnon ke ragon me Jagga Jasoos ka khoon doudta hai

Kuch aisa soch Ishu ke junior Jagga Jasoos ko jhansa de sake

"Koi nahi. Wo bas ek friend..."

She stopped me in between and held my shoulders, looking into my eyes

"Akka! Was it Ajnabi?"

Did she just say that!?
