Armaan was sitting in his room. There were no tears in his eyes. He was just looking at Abhira's photo. There were no expressions on his face. The mirror was still broken. The pillows and blankets were lying here and there.

He was sitting on floor with Abhira's dupatta and her photo. Armaan's heartache was evident as he clutched onto Abhira's belongings. He couldn't shake off the feeling that she was still out there somewhere.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door. Armaan looked at the door but didn't stand up. He again looked at Abhira's photo.

Again someone knocked on the door but Armaan didn't even glance at the door, he didn't even his eyes for a second.

"Armaan" Someone said from outside.

It was Ruhi.

"Armaan please darwaza kholo." She again knocked on the door.

Armaan remained silent, his eyes fixed on Abhira's photo.

"Armaa....Armaan kya tum theek ho? Ple... please darwaza kholo. Muj....mujhe tumse bohot zaroori baat karni hai." She said and knocked on the door.

"Armaan, please darwaza kholo. Main jaanti hoon ki tum bahut takleef mein ho. Par mujhe tumse kuch important baat karni hai. Please darwaza kholo aur mujhe andar aane do." She said.

Armaan remained silent, his gaze still fixed on Abhira's photo.

She continued knocking, hoping Armaan would respond, but there was no sign of movement from inside the room. Armaan seemed lost in his own world of grief and longing, shutting himself off from the outside world.

"Ar....Armaan tumhe Abhira ki Kasam hai, please darwaza kholo." Ruhi said.

Armaan looked up at the door. Armaan slowly stood up, his eyes reflecting anger and pain as he approached the door. With a heavy heart, he opened it slowly, his gaze meeting Ruhi's with a mixture of frustration and sorrow.

"Ky....kyu aayi ho yah...yaha? Kyu muj...mujhe akela nahi chod sa....sakti tum?" He asked with slow voice.

"Mu...mujhe tumse bohot zaroori baat karni hai. Aur yeh baat humare baare mein nahi hai Armaan." Ruhi said.

"Mujhe abhi kisi se koi baat nahin karni hai. Mujhe akela rehna hai. Please tum yahan se chali jao." Armaan requested.

"Ruhi, mujhe akela rehna hai. Tum yahan se chali jao," Armaan said firmly, his voice tinged with sadness.

"Armaan, main samajh sakti hoon ki tum takleef mein ho, par main yahan sirf tumhara saath dene aayi hoon. Kuch important baat hai jo humein discuss karni chahiye," Ruhi insisted.

"Lekin mujhe abhi kisi se koi baat nahi karni hai. Main bas chahata hoon ki tum yahan se chali jao," Armaan replied.

"Arm....Armaan just listen to me once. Muj...mujhe janana hai ki Roh....." Before she could complete Armaan interrupted.

"Tumhe sam...samajh nahi aata. Main...maine ek baar keh diya na ki mujhe tumse baat nahi karni hai matlab nahi karni. Pehle mere aur Abhira ke beech mein aati thi aur ab jab voh mere pass nahi hai toh tum mujhe akela bhi nahi chod sakti." Armaan said angrily.

Ruhi took a step back, "Armaan, main jaanti hoon ki tum bahut takleef mein ho. Par main yahan sirf tumhara saath dene aayi thi. Main kuch galat nahi chahti thi. Main bas yeh jan'na chahti thi ki Rohit sach mein zinda hai ya nahi. Main tumhe pareshan nahi karna chahti thi."

Armaan's anger softened slightly as he listened to Ruhi's words, "Main jaanta hun Rohit zinda hai. Lekin voh kahan hai yah nahin pata. Sab ko lagta hai ki Eohit mar chuka hai. Lekin mera dil kahta hai ki Rohit zinda hai. Kahan hai mujhe nahin pata. Mai use dhundhna chahta. Main use aur Abhira dono ko dhundhna chahta hu. Kyuki mai jaanta hu ki Abhira  mujhe chhodkar nahin gayi hai."
