'Sujal. Do you love Kashish? Bolo.' His dad is suddenly angry. Sujal sees everything and an empty seat next to him is really bothering....

'We had been in relation before Piyush' marriage. Whatever Vasu aunry is saying..Is not true at all. Agar aapko bharosa nahi he to....I can not do anything. Piyush knows who was the culprit behind his project' failure. I can not provide everyone proof of my innocence.'

'Dekh rahe ho Bhaisahab. Iski himmat. Ek to chori...upar se seena jori. He is not bothered at all. He has no shame.'

'See. Vasu. Sirf Sujal ko blame karne se kuch nahi hoga. Ask KAshish about it too.' Sujal' mom takes a stand...for a first time.

'Kashish kya bolegi! Main bata to rahi hu..this all was his mistake.'

'Vasu. Sujal ne kah diya na ki usi mistake nahi thi. Ab is mamle ko kyu tool de rahi ho! If he was culprit to Help kyu karta! Stop this drama. Hum sab yaha rishte suljhane aaye the..uljhane nahi.

Chetan bhaisahab. I know about that Project. I ensure you Sujal was not involved. Aur rahi baat...Sujal Aur Kahsish ki..to both are married now. Is baat ko badane se koi fayda nahi hoga.'

Sujal' dad nods. But Vasu glares at Lalit. Kashish is silent as usual and Piyush...he perhaps was enjoying the show. Sujal' mom now angry with her husband...for first time.

'Bahut drama ho gaya. Now everyone...dinner karo and go to sleep. Parso hume nikalna he. I dont want any drama tomorrow. Mind it Vasu.'

Vasu curses under her breath but have food.  After some time Everybody leaves...family dinner has turned out a disaster. A great one actually.

Sujal leaves the room alone. He goes to his room alone...and finds himself in that room alone...

Suddenly despair raises her head in him. Restlessness grows. And he is looking everywhere.

'Naina. The fuck If you try to prank me! Mera dimag bahut kharab he. Stop playing hide and seek..' He shouts. Searching whole room..Checking bathroom. Behind curtain. Everywhere.

He even tries her cell. But it is switched off. His mind suddenly goes blank.

A loud knock pulls him out of his unconscious state....

He rushes to open the door.

'What the fuck is this Naina! Tumhare pass dimag he ya nahi. Itni rat me-

Kashish! What the hell you are doing at my door right now!'

He was expecting Naina but seeing kashish his restless mind instead  getting some relief goes insane.

'Sujal....Please meri baat suno..I have something important to say.'

'No. Not right now.' He goes out..running in corridor. Checking his floor. Then going down. Checking whole hotel like mad people...but gets nothing.

He pulls his hair in frustration. Where the hell she has disappeared! What the fuck she is doing by hiding this moment! What does she wants to prove! What is in her mind!

Did she get any kind of anxiety attack? Damn! Perhaps her old depressive symptoms might have resurfaced. That idiot woman could have called him. Where the hell she has disappeared!

He goes to receptionist..

'Have you seen Someone going out?'

'Sir. People are always going out and coming in. It is a hotel.'

'Bakwas band karo. I am talking about my wife. Waki koi aa raha he ya jaa raha he. I dont give a fuck about it. Look at this picture. I am talking about this woman..'

Receptionist looks at his screensaver. He then displays her his background. A graceful image of Naina..

'Sir. Aap bahar gate par jakar ek baar pooch lijiye. Watchman must have seen her.'

'Agar use bhi nahi pata huya ho to! Kaise ignorant log kaam karte he yaha! Koi cctv camera he ya nahi. I want to check footage.'

'Sir. We will allow you but first ask the person at door.'

'What do you mean by I ask him! Naina bahar nahi gayi he. She must be somewhere in hotel. Koi Jinn nahi he jo itni jaldi gayab ho jayegi. I wanna check camera footage..'

Receptionist eyes him with scowl.

'Vishnu. Ali ko bulana jara.'

'Maine kaha mujhe foitage check karni he. Why dont you understand!'

'Sir. Wahi ho rha he. Hold on a second.'

A person comes in his late 40s. Receptionist shows him Sujal' phone' screen..

'Inhe dekha he?'

He at once replies..

'Ha. Abhi thode der pahle hi to nikali he.'

'Kya bakwas kar rhe ho?' Sujal roars..

'Sahab. Main jhooth kyu bolunga! Madam ke hath se unka purse gir gaya tha...maine utha ke diya. Unse baat bhi huyi thi. Maine kaha bhi tha ki itni rat ko yaha kuch nahi milega. Lekin unhone nahi suni..'

Sujal hears nothing after that. He runs out. Before he can do anything, it starts snowing. And...the option of finding naina shuts itself. Sujal asks one of person standing there..

'Yaha koi cab milegi?'

'Kaise bate kar rhe ho miyan? Ek zarra bhi nahi hilega ab to. Mausam dekh rahe ho? Ab to shahar tak hi kuch khulega..'

He is about to shout in agony...

The dinner was seriously a disaster. An ominous thing. Damn vasu aunty for making things difficult and complex.

But why is he so restless on her departure!

Is he seeking that pleasurable excuse of comfort once again?

Is he again desperate to forget everything related to Kahsish by going inside her?

Or...He wants her to hold him for crying over sudden turns of events..

He keeps standing there...

Wondering...what happened suddenly!

The life was going smooth but suddenly it has gone haywire. Now the bumps are making him uncomfortable and restless. In fact he feels like his breath has been hitched. He is choked. His life is being sucked out of him.

'Sujal. Andar chalo. Thand lag jayegi. Chalo.'

He has no idea who has brought him inside...

When chiming of bangles reaches to his ears, he holds the hand with towel. Trying to remove all the snow from his head..and shoulders..He holds Kashish' hand.

'Sujal. Let me help you ..please..'

He stares at her..

Kashish.

Suddenly Sinha or Raheja...doesnt matter.

In fact Kashish' presence proves to be insignificant.

'Sujal! Please...Ab aur nahi hota mujhse. I am tired. I can not be that idle daughter anymore. Piyush ke sath mujhe sukoon nahi milta..Sujal..Nahi raha jata ab Tumse door. Please...Take me back.'

The moment her words make sense to him, he jumps away.

'I know. Naina...Usko ye sab drama bardasht nahi huya hoga. I can understand her reasons. But..We love each other. Piyush knows this. I told him. Mom heard us. My open confession must have been too much for her so she created that scene. I am sorry for not speaking anything. Tumhare papa ko aur bhi bura lagta mere confession se. I didnt want him to be mkre angry with you.

Lekin...Sujal....Ab mujhe koi nahi rok sakta. I am in love with you. Socha tha..main tumhe bhool jaungi. But aisa nahi huya. Tumne sach hi kaha tha..It was I who tried to kill our love. Lekin ab nahi. I want to give us a second chance. I want to give us that eternal end. We will be united. I can nlt stay with Piyush. I love you. My whole being...My every fibre has been imprinted with your name. Your touch. Your feel. Piysuh could not make me forget you. No body can.

Please Sujal...Pleasee..'

Sujal looks at fallen Kashish. Suddenly he is scared. Sacred of too many things.

First his thumping heart..

Second reason of his heart running madly not being Kashish

Third...absence of a gentle touch killing him..

Fourth...surprise that comes out when His aloofness with Kashish kicks in.

What has happened to him! Yes. He was running away from kashish because He had known that he stood no chance. But...

Kashiah wants to return..that too him.

She is announcing her love for him. Openly.

She is accepting what he wanted her to.

But....

There is a huge BUT. So much high, giant BUT. Blocking everything...

'Sujal....tum sun rahe ho na..Main kya kah rahi hu! Sujal...Mujhe nahi jina tumhare bina. Pleasee....I know you love me too. Please..ye gussa chhodo. I have told Mom and Dad and Piyush about us. Mujhe un logo ke sochne se koi fark nahi padta..Only you matter. Please Sujal...Come to me. For our love.'

Kashish is coming to him. But the sight is repulsive. His inside is screaming in horror. Completely astonished he is thinking why This confession is meaningless.

He looks at kashish. Plain simple Kashish..just as before.

He searches for a reason to hold her. But none comes up..in fact his heart chides him for searching that non existing reason....

'Kashish. Pleasee...leave me alone right now. Pleasee..' he turns his face.

After some time Kashish leaves...

And Sujal with dejected heart falls on carpet....

This time...His heart is shedding tears for Naina. The absence of Naina making him mad instead of Kashish' departure.

Why the hell she left him!

Why?

And she went out All alone. That too this late..and empty stomach! Has she a brain or not! What the fuck was she thinking! What was going on in her head!

Earlier she used to share everything with him. Now what made her leave him like this.  That woman was able to make his life hell then what made her so weak that she fled!

Bloody absconder!

She is idiot. Compete idiot. She is insane. She is...she is..brainless..She is..She is...She has no sense. She is..She is just...Compete mad.

Fuck.

Where the hell she has gone!

She can not leave juat because he accepted that he loved Kashish. His acceptance to his previous relation should not make her mad. Hasnt it been obvious that he has no interest in Kashish! Then what fuck she was thinking! In fact why the hell she left.

Sujal swears the moment he lays his hands on Naina in morning....He will tie her to a chair. For that woman has nasty habit of running away...

P.S. Next update will take time. I have to write it.
