...WHAT'S THERE IN A SURNAME... #saakk FF

HIS NIGHT STAY

"Shaurya aapko nahi lagta ki isse waqt gussa hone ke zyada reasons mere pass hai...
It was you,,, who failed to keep your promise in place...
aur yaha aap he hai, jo mujhse muh fulla kar baithe hue hai..."

Pestered by his protracted silence her resolve broke at last.

It was close to twenty mins in a row since they had left his office and in between Anokhi had repeatedly tried endless time to talk to him but all her attempts landed in vein as the soul sitting next to her was sailing on a different level of grumpiness tonight.

"Failed nahi...
I just forgot, somehow it kinda slipped off my mind..."

Shaurya crabbily replied while sneaking a fleeting glance at her before returning his gaze back on the concrete lane ahead.

"Oh... so you forgot.... niceeee.... waise dono ek he baat hoti hai Shaurya..."

Holding a tight lipped mocking smile, Anokhi's eyes snapped sideways.

"Aur waise bhi things will obviously slip off your mind na... kyunki aapki to last priority hu mein.... ya phir sayad priority hu bhi ki nahi..."

"Isiliye to aap ne... "

"...Isiliye to maine kya... huh..."
Shaurya impromptly interrupted.

"Kuch nahi..."
Anokhi gulped before muttering feebly, sensing things might have slightly got blown down here.

"No no, say that again... common complete your words Anokhi...
Isiliye to maine kya...??"

"Okay let me only rephrase this for you... Isiliye to maine jaan boojh kar tumhe ignore kiya... right, yahi kehna chahti ho na tum... that's what you think of me..."

"Anokhi like seriously, Do I have to prove my priorities to you now...?"

Her long held reticence was waning his patience now...

"Speak up Dammit...
get this shit out of your system..."

Her silence spiked his frustration to a level that he took a sharp detour off the road before engaging the breaks, letting the car jolt down with a sudden screeching noise.

Shaurya aap...?
Anokhi shrieked in fright reflexively lurching forward, nearly crashing against the dashboard, but got safe guarded just in time by Shaurya's palm coming in between.

"Anokhi hamare rishte mein ye justifications ne kab se jagah le li hai yaar..."

He passed a disbelieving look at her.

"Theek tab se.... Jab se aap mujhse baatein chipaane lage hai Shaurya..."

"mein tumse baatein chipaane laga hu...? Kya bol kya rahi ho yaar..."

"Shagun and Aditya, they are dating each other right... and you knew this before... per aapne batai, batai mujhe ye baat..." and Shaurya's crinkled brows relaxed in a flash.

Did Shagun told you all this...?

"Kisne bataya wo matter nahi karta hai Shaurya...
matter ye karta hai ki mere husband ne mujhe nahi bataya..."

Squeezing back those tears she flashed a blanched smile at him.

"Anokhi yaar.... ye batana mujhe zaroori nahi laga... Isiliye maine nahi bataya..."
