CHARECTERS

ABHISEK AS SHIVAM

KANIKA AS POUSANI

Shivam came out from washroom to witness Pousani in a different way. She was staring at the note. Shivam moved to her n sat beside her. She looked at him with teary eyes. Shivam didn't surprise neither say anything. He just moved forward n wiped away those tear from her cheek. The more he wiped the more drop flew from her eyes. She couldn't resist her tear from flowing. Shivam made her head rest on his chest n caressed her hair softly. She cried more n more. Her face dug into his chest n palm clutched his shirt tightly. With passing seconds, her sob became louder n louder. She wrapped her arm around his neck n continued her crying. Shivam didn't stop her. He kept tapping her back. His hand stopped when she felt no response of her body. He looked at her face. She had fallen asleep on his chest. Shivam smiled through his tears. ''i want you to learn to give chance to life. It had lots of thing to surprise you n make you happy. You just need to trust yourself n god. Everything gonna fall in right place.'' he spoke delightfully. Pousani kept listen his words with closed eyes. Shivam carried her in his arm n made her sleep. He covered her sleeping figure. Her face was looking innocent. Shivam placed a tender kiss on her forehead n adjusted himself beside her. The light went deem. As it happened, Pousani adjusted herself in his embrace. Shivam surprised.

''tum soyi ni..'' he looked at her face that was glowing in the deem light.

''aaj maa mereko chat par milithi'' she moved more closely.

''tumhari maa''

''han''

''what did she say?''

''she said that, (paused) you will make me pregnant n leave in road to die.'' she said like a robot yet with cracked voice. Shivam felt uncomfortable with the statement. He distanced himself a little. What should he say now? Silence prevailed the room. Pousani waited for his further question that never came. He was too numb to reply. She looked at his face n sighed sarcastically then resumed.

'' A bola ki jab se main unki life main ayi hu unki life shit ban gayi hai. Maine bhi bola ki this is wrong main unki life main ni wo meri life main ayi thi.'' She dug herself more in to his embrace.

He was happy, that she protested herself but! Why she didn't defended him in front of her mother. Was he that bad? Did she think that he would leave her after satisfying his desire? No, definitely not, he couldn't even think like this. He felt a sharp pain in his heart. The warmth of tear started oozing in his orb but some left over words left him amazed. ''i alsosaid, at least you will leave me a reason with to live unlike her who left me that night to die. Fir wo chali gayi.'' Her eyes were raining. Her innocent n genuine confession went unheard that day. Shivam had slept. Pousani kept talking her heart out. Even she opened the deepest secret of her heart. The girl he was supposed to marry that day was secretly married to her boyfriend. Anyhow, she came to know about this n tried to stop the marriage. When she failed badly, she went to the girl. She threatened her to reveal the truth if she won't stop the marriage. In a result, she ran away.

As she finished, she had tear in her eyes. She looked at Shivam. He had no response. He was in his deep sleep. She smiled sarcastically n twisted her body. A pair of eyes opened instantly. Her words were heard. Shivam had heard them. The big amount of pain, she had suffered broke him in pieces. He remembered the night before her bell when she got her letter from a book of his college day what changed his decision within a night. In that letter, she had explained all o f the pain she once suffered. How her mother was behaved in her expecting days? How her mother suffered having her inside her womb? How bravely she brought her in this world n died. How her family treated her as a shit? Everything written there was from an innocent heart. She has chosen him to reveal the entire secret. He felt proud. He didn't feel any sympathy for her. She just gained a respective place in his heart. He could hear her sobbing. He turned the light on n entwined their fingers. His head rested on the temple of her head. Both of them were in pain. '' i am not saying this is the end of your pain but i promise, you will find me with you while suffering through this. I won't leave you ever. '' she heard him saying but didn't reply him. She knew, his every word were genuine. She smiled through her tear. Shivam couldn't see that because he was facing her back. Still he knew she was happy. They remained in that position for rest of the night. None spoke a single word. Their silence shared everything. Their pain, their breathe, their tear. May be they were not in each other's destiny. By giving his breathe to her he went through her destiny line. He unknowingly became the reason of her living. Years after, again history repeated itself. She became the reason of his living. Their destiny line crisscrossed n they became one. Somehow, the night passed away having their painful past. The next morning came with new hope, new thinking n new relationship status.
