A/n pov:

After 8 hours of long journey...Harsha finally reached Delhi. She booked a cab and waited for 5 minutes. After sometime the cab arrives and she sat inside the car and drove off.

At harsha's house:

Harsha reached home to see her maternal uncle, maternal aunt, mom and dad sitting all together. Swati got up and went towards her and immediately hugged her

Harsha: Maa aap thik ho ?

Swati: thori thik hu beta..achanak se tumhari nani- or-

Harsha: shh it's ok maa..aap calm down ho jao..we are together in this..

Wo Mausa or mausi ko dekh k namastey karti hai.

Harsha: namastey..

Mausa/mausi: jeeti reh beta..acha hua tu aa gai warna teri maa ka toh ro ro kar bura haal tha

Harsha: koi nhai ab Mai aa gai hu don't worry

Krishna: beta tumhari journey toh thk thi na?? Sorry tujhe achanak se bulaya

Harsha ko tabhi Raj ka Diya hua dhokha yaad aata hai or uske aankhen bharne lagti hai lekin wo use control kar k reply karti hai

Harsha: h-ha papa Main thik hu..bas Nani ka sun kar...

Wo turant topic change karte hue bolti hai.

Krishna: haan beta..dekho aab jaane Wale ko kon hi rok sakta hai..but I hope Jahan bhi ho bhagwan unki aatma ko shanti de

Harsha: haan papa..

Swati: beta kal humein shok sabha mein jaana hoga toh tu Aaj rest kar le..

Harsha nod karti hai or apna suitcase leke apne room me chali aati hai..

Harsha's room:

Wo apna suitcase side rakhti hai or direct washroom mein chali jaati hai.
Wo shower on karti hai or uski aankho se aansoo girne lagte hai..
She was hurt..too much...the pain was unbearable for her..

She sat down while water were dripping from her head to floor. She put her hands on her head and she started sobbing silently

Harsha's thought: why me...why I'm the only one who suffers at last.. don't I deserve happy life just like others..After all what was my fault?!

Time skips~

Kuch der Tak rone k baad Harsha fresh hoke washroom se bahar nikalti hai or mirror k saamne apne baalo ko dry karti hai..

She was looking herself in the mirror while remembering the days where she used to get ready for him..for her that was the life which she always wanted to live but now.... nothing is left.. except pain...and those memories..

Wo ek long sigh leke bed par late jaati hai or apni aankhein band kar leti hai..

Kuch der tak neend na aane par wo wapas apni aankhein khol leti hai or sochne lagti hai ki tabhi uska phone ring karta hai wo caller id dekhti hai jisme Jin ka number Show kar raha hota hai.

Harsha: Jin subaenim..

Wo call pick karne ka sochti hai lekin tabhi use yaad aata hai ki raj Jin ke number se bhi call kar sakta hai..

Wo call ko disconnect kar k phone mein sim card nikal leti hai or ek scissor leke use 4-5 tukre kar deti hai while tears were dropping from her eyes..

Harsha: I h@te you Raj...I h@te you..

Time skips~
Next day:

It was funeral day and Harsha was getting ready to go to her Nani's house..

There were no emotions on her face and she was blankly doing everything just then Swati enters her room and speaks to her..

Swati: beta ?

Harsha: Haan maa

Swati: taiyaar ho gai?

Harsha: haan maa almost

Swati: chal mausa ji ne car nikal li hai.

Harsha: okay maa.

Time skips~

Harsha or uska parivar nani k yahan pahunchta hai jahan par shok ka mahul tha..

Harsha apni badi wali masi ki beti k pass Jake baith jaati hai jabki uski maa mausi sab k pass.

???: Hi Harsha..

Harsha: Hi jia di

Jia: kaisi hai..kaisi ho gai hai..Nani k tu sabse kareebi thi.

Harsha: kya kahu di kuch samajh mein nahi aa raha hai aajkal..Dil or dimag me bas Jang chalti rehti hai.

Jia: kya tu thik hai na?? Tu share kar sakti hai mere se

Harsha: nahi di wo just aise hi...

Jia: acha koi nahi sab thik hi hoga

Harsha ek half hearted smile deti hai or dono Pooja me concentrate karte hai

Time skips~

Sabhi members ek jagah pe baith k lunch kar rahe the jabki Harsha bas aise hi baithi thi
Tabhi uski mausi aati hai or uske bagal me aake baith Jaati hai.

Harsha: mausi..

Mausi: dekh rahi hu mai..tu kuch thik nahi lag rahi hai iss incident k alawa or bhi kuch tujhe pareshan kar Raha hai na beta ?

Harsha slightly shocked ho jaati hai lekin turant sad bhi ho jaati hai.

Mausi: dekh mein teri problem toh nahi jaanti par itna zaroor kahungi..
Kabhi bhi naya life shuru karne mein der nahi hoti...or himmat rakhne se kabhi bhi koi kaam nahi bigadta..

Harsha: Thanks mausi..kuch aisa hi haal hai..bas nikalana mushkil ho raha hai..jab aapka trust Tut jaata hai na toh bahut painful hota hai..us insaan ki memories ko let go karna...

Mausi: hota hai lekin impossible nahi. Tu try kar k dekh or Jo bhi hua use bhul jaa

Harsha: yeah mausi...I will forget everything..

Meanwhile ~

Aqsa busy chal rahi thi apne project works me toh use time nahi mil rha tha Harsha se baat karne ka..

Aaj wo use call kar rahi thi lekin number switched off bata Raha tha

Aqsa: achanak se chali gai..Bina bataye mujhe...

Aqsa Harsha k apartment gai thi usse Milne par landlord ne use bhi bata Diya ki koi emergency thi isliye woh chali gayi.
Aqsa ek lambi sigh leti hai or apne bed pe lay down karti hai..

Aqsa: acha kal try karugi..kya pata charge hi nahi ho phone..

Itna keh k wo sunghooon ka no dial karti hai. Wo kuch ring k baad call pick karta hai

OTP:

Sunghooon: hey beautiful

Aqsa: woah "beautiful"

Sunghooon: why? Didn't you liked it?

Aqsa: of course I loved it but you seems cheerful today

Sunghooon: oh well I am happy because I don't want us to keep our relationship secret anymore so I'll publicly reveal it tomorrow

Aqsa: Ohh

Sunghooon: you don't sounds happy?

Aqsa: no no it's like..I'm happy it's just I'm feeling awkward

Sunghooon: don't be shy..we are not doing any crime and no one will say anything

Aqsa: and even if someone say I'll kick their ass..

Sunghooon laughed followed by aqsa and both continued to talk about random things
