It was late at night. Agastya was returning home. Nowadays he used to return home late as without Sukoon it didn't feel like his home. It was just a house for him. He used to keep himself busy in work as the day of the play was near. Also it was helping him to forget about his pain.

As soon as Agastya returned, he saw Rumi standing outside. He wondered since how long she was there.

Seeing Agastya, Rumi gave a huge smile and came to him.

"Mujhe tumse kuch kehna hai. Phone pe baata sakti thi but I really wanted to see your reaction when I will tell you this. Agastya I... I left Ishaan." She said leaving Agastya shocked.

"What?" He asked.

"Actually we were never perfect for each other. I had an attraction towards him, obsession for him which I mistook for love. But Agastya, my love was always you. Now let's just be honest to each other. Tumne Sukoon ko chhor diya, it means you have realised your feelings. Only we need to do is, confess our love to each other."

Rumi took a deep breath and said, "Agastya Rao, I love you!"

Agastya didn't say anything.

Rumi cupped his face and said, "Agastya please say something. You also love me na? See humare bich ab koi nahi hai. We can be together now. We can complete each other. Ab tumhe apni feelings ko chhupane ki koi zaroorat nahi hai. Jo dil mein hai keh do."

Agastya removed her hands from his face and said sighing, "Rumi ek time tha jab main tumhare bina reh nahi sakta tha. I was mad after you. But now I don't feel like that anymore. Uss raat jab paata chala tum depression mein ho, anxiety pills le rahi ho, I felt bad for you. But is that really love? No. Tumhe takleef mein dekh ke main thoda emotional zaroor hogaya tha par isse pyaar nahi kehte. Kyu ki tumhare bina mujhe apne andar woh emptiness feel nahi hota jo Sukoon ke bina abhi ho rahi hai. I love Sukoon and nobody can change this. Till my last breath I'll only love Sukoon. Only she can complete me. And one day you will also find someone who will complete you. You won't need to run after him, he himself will come to you and make your life magical. Bas thoda sabar kar lo."

Rumi's eyes became teary hearing his words. She felt hurt but understood the depth of his love for Sukoon.

"Toh tum sach mein mujhse pyaar nahi karte?" She asked with painful voice to which Agastya nodded in no.

"Toh phir Sukoon aur tumhara break-up kyu hua? I thought tumne isliye uss se break-up kiya kyu ki tum mujhe chahte ho." She said.

Agastya smiled sadly and said, "Exactly yeh hi reason maine Sukoon ko diya tha taa ki woh mujhe chhor ke chali jaaye."

Rumi gave him a confused look.

"Haan, main Sukoon se pyaar zaroor karta hoon, par main uske liye sahi nahi hoon. My love only gave her pain. And I can't see her in pain. Mujhe sab kuch manjoor hai lekin meri wajah se uske aankhon mein aansu aaye, yeh mujhe manjoor nahi. Isliye maine Sukoon ko keh diya ki uss raat hum dono ke bich kuch hua tha aur mujhe yeh realise hua hai ki main tumse pyaar karta hoon. Paata tha, yeh sunke woh mujhse nafrat karegi, mere saath nahi rahegi. Aur woh hi hua. She left me."

"But why did you say that? Agastya that night I badly wanted you but you were the one who stopped me. Nothing happened between us. Tumne jhut bol ke uss ladki ko khud se dur kar diya jis se tum itna zyada pyaar karte ho?" She asked with disbelief.

"Pyaar karta hoon, isliye dur kiya. Uske dur rehne se mera uske liye pyaar kam nahi ho jayega. Maine tay kar liya hai, Sukoon bhale hi meri na ho, lekin main uss se humesha aise hi pyaar karunga. This is how my love is."
