2 days back

Morning

"How are you feeling now" Shaurya asked

"Sir (head) thoda bhari h pr dil... bohot halka"

"Here, take these medicines"

"Shaurya mai -"

"Anokhi stop... aaj mujhe bolne do... Please...
mai nhi chahta tumhe koi bhi misunderstanding ho..."

"Hmm"

"Actually I.... I have someone in my life... Someone whom I love... Mai tumhe hurt nhi karna chahta but unintentionally I did... I'm really sorry for that...
Anokhi tum-"

I felt my heart breaking, without making any noise... Someone just snatched my love from me... But the truth is, he was never mine...

"Kon h vo..?"

"Shagun... Shagun Kapoor"

"Par vo to-"

"Vo mere pass nhi h... Par mai humesha usika rahunga.."

*Silence*

Shaurya's phone rings..

He declines

Rings again

"Aap recieve kar skte h"

He went outside to take the call and i locked the door from inside..., I was broken..., Yes i heard there were some rumours of them dating but after few months she died in an accident but its been years since that incident.... Shayd yahi pyar hota h Anokhi... He loved her and death also couldn't separate them....
Par jo mne feel kiya kya vo galat tha..?

Shaurya

I completed the call and went to her room, door was shut, was about to knock, but i heard her sobing, i wish i could anyhow make things right, she don't deserve this pain, i couldn't stay there more... Hopefully Time will heal everything

Anokhi

2 days passed my foot was alright now, i resumed the shoot from yesterday only, things were going according to the schedule, as we started shooting for long hours...

Shaurya always kept an eye on me, why can't he understand it's really impossible to ignore his gaze.., even a mere eye contact was enough to bring tears in my eyes... I couldn't face him... I felt suffocating there

After packup I went to the terrace of the hotel.., as the Sun was setting every moment I spent here in Shimla flashed in front of me, with tears brimming my eyes, everything seemed faded...

Suddenly someone pulled me backwards

"Shaurya..."

"Kya kar rhi thi tum yaha" he asked aggressively

"Sunset.... Kya hua h Shaurya? Are you fine?"

His eyes were blood red and he never talked to me in that tone... It was scaring me now...

He pulled me closer grabbing my arms tightly

"Hua to 3 saal pehle tha Anokhi... jise chhipane ke liye tumne itni badi planning kari"

"Ye aap kya bol rhe h... Chhodiye mujhe!! you are hurting me"

"Kya lga tha tumhe mujhe pyar m fasakar apne bhai ko bacha logi but you know what, you've failed!"
