A RoNakshi FF- Hero for Hire

Chapter 132

'A girl almost committed suicide because of Ajit!'

'WHAT?!?'

Sonakshi couldn't have been more dumbfounded.

Rohit was nodding.

'Yes! Yehi sach hai!'

'Ajit ki wajah se? Larki..kon?'

Rohit stood up from the bench and took a few steps towards the sea.

The sound of the waves pounding on the shore, was the only sound, as Sonakshi waited for him to continue.

She got up too and walking up to him, put a hand on his shoulder. He started as if he had become lost in the past, and was surprised that she was there.

'Please..'

'Ajit and I..we used to be really close. I was struggling with my acting career, or Ajit college mein tha. We used to share everything, jaise hamare beech paanch saal ka difference ho hi nahin.'

He looked out at the sea, remembering the time fondly.

'Phir Ajit ko ek larki pasand agayi thi college mein. Payal naam tha uss ka. He was quite interested in her. Har waqt uski baaten karta rehta tha. I used to tease him, ke ja uss ko pata le..ask her out. Usse thori sharam aati thi, and I used to give him tips..' he laughed at that and Sonakshi smiled.

'Tum to tab se maahir flirt thay..'

'Haha! Yeah! Shayad! Or Ajit, usse poore three months lagay to get up enough courage to ask her out. Kher, the point is, ke they started going out and went steady for a whole year and a half. Bohot khush tha Ajit..roz aa ke share karta tha uss ke qissay..'

'Did you ever meet her?'

'Yes, I did! A very beautiful girl she was, and really nice too. She used to call me Rohit bhai, and I thought it might last.'

He let the breeze blow his hair away from his eyes.

'What happened?'

'Ajit wanted to go abroad to do his MBA and no one had an issue with that, including me. But Payal had different ideas. She wanted ke Ajit us se shadi kare or engagement kar ke jaye..'

'What? Shadi? Itni young age mein?'

'Exactly..shadi nahin to engagement hi kar le..'

Sonakshi was stunned.

'Phir bhi..itni young age mein kon commit karta hai?'

'That is the thing! Ajit wanted to go study, uss waqt yeh sab nahin chahta tha, but he didn't want to end things either.'

'Phir? Hua kya?'

Rohit sighed.

'He told her ke wapas aajaye ga to baat karega. Abhi studies zaroori hain..'

'So? Yeh to theek kaha na..'

'Sona, he was in college yar. Us ko aise dangle kar ke kyun chorrna tha, jab ke woh uss se shadi nahin karna chahta tha..'

'Hmm..phir kya kiya uss ne?'

'They kept their thing going long distance, although maine bola usse ke just make a clean break. Larki ko itni ummeed kyun deni hai..but usko chaska laga hua tha ke uss ki ek girlfriend hai..'

Sonakshi's eyebrows were raised the whole time, unable to believe all this.

'Phir, Payal ke parents ne uss ka rishta kar diya..'

'Oh no!'

'Yes! Uss waqt Ajit ne bola ke tum kar lo..I can't commit.'

'What?'
