The bright stars faded deep in d sky. The crescent moon slipped to calm sleep welcoming its neighbor, sun to guard its duty. The smooth wind sailed across d north surveying d presence of ocean. The flaccid waves of d sky-blue sea stretched wholesome ocean as if blessed by blue pigment magic. D sugary-ice froth revived from underwater embowering d complete upper base which verily depicted d milky paradise. Apart a distance, a large well-built laudatory cruise ship called "DELESA" had rose up lumbering on d surface of bay directed by little compass. It weighed perfectly smart cradling multiple people of d/f places. It consisted of royal cruise apartments for d passengers to shelter providing all d luxurious facilities of d world one can have.

A boy wore black sleeveless jacket merged by a white mantle t-shirt matched with military jeans, stood in d desolated deck visualizing d early morning view of sea. His hands flinched forcefully on d straps of supporting walls constructed as border of d boat, as several thoughts disturbed him. His mind was occupied with so many questions, but d one who had d actual answers, kept mum to explain him. His teeth clenched not because of d embodied chilly breeze instead d anger overpowered d coolness. He closed his eyes listening to d lullaby of rippling splashes of sea.

"Rey" someone put their hand on his shoulder awakening him from brooding. He gently opened his eyes taking a deep breath. "Dad" Rey suppressed his mental imbalance.

"Itni subah, yaha akele kya kar rahe ho?" Rajveer covered his shawl across his shoulder tightly. "Bas yuhi..." His voice cracked.

"Rey, aaj Rohan ke liye bahut bada din hai. I know, tum dono ko ek dusre se nahi banti, but phir bi chahti hun ki tum uski kushi mein shamil ho." Rajveer narrowed his eyes on d weaving waves. Rey looked up to him n his father faced him. He shrugged n turned back his gaze to d original position watching d discovery channel effect in live.

After an argument with Rohan about Taani at late night, Rey directly steeped into his room. He wagged across d room tritely re-banging his bleeding hand on some artistic materials came on his path. Rohan slowly peeked into d room, scorning under his breath. He belched angrily at d chaos created by Rey but it melted d next moment at d sight of him. He couldn't understand him. Even though, he acts to hate him, he simply can't. His brotherliness is d weakest point at d least expected times.

"What's wrong with u Rey" Rohan picked a first-aid kit n barged towards him. He held Rey's hand but he jerked throwing an angry glare "Iski koi zarurat nahi." Rohan shrugged n pulled his hand again making him to sit on d bed. He opened d kit n started applying ointment keeping track of his struggle from restraining.

"Aisa kya ho gaya ki tum Taani se itna gussa ho, Rey?" Rohan folded bandage across d arm. "Kahi, tum mera gussa uske upar toh nahi nikalrahe ho?" he stared straight. Rey didn't utter a word, but his entire immune system was shaking with feeling of betrayal.

"Agar tum mujhpe gussa ho, toh beshak mujhpe nikalo. But, please Taani ko hurt mat karo, she doesn't deserve it." Rohan pleaded him, for d first time in his entire life. Rey was stunned to even react.

"Taani meri zindagi hai Rey." Rohan knit d final knot. "But even u r important to me" He washed out d room shutting d door to bob.

Rajveer stroked Rey's shoulder n left d place providing him space to think over.

A girl crawled in d bathtub, soaking her body to relax. Her wet hairs floated leisurely, d mildness evaporated forming a fog of glistening droplets on her face giving d spa treatment. D rose petals sprinkled across, ascended d feathery massage to her body. D jasmine oils fabricated d aroma of blooming flowers eradicating d noxious thoughts. But, a drop of trickle from her eyes oozed into d tub combining with water.

"Tannu, jaldi bahar aao darling." Sharon tapped d bathroom door. Taani jolted exasperating out of her subconscious state "Aayi bhabi, bas 5 min". "Sab caf pe hai, mein bi ja rahi hun. Tum baad mein akele aaoge na?" Sharon asked. "K, bhabi. Aap jao." she ended d conversation.

"DUDE, WHERE R U? COME TO D CAF DECK, WE R WAITING." Rey's cell jingled a message from Vicky. He checked it n then turned taking d staircase to reach caf, since it was nearly below. Meanwhile, Taani wore white denims with in-shirted white top blazed by burgundy jacket with combination of red heels, prowled along d same path. Before both could crash, Rey stiffed n backed out surprising Taani. Rey watched her with remixed emotions but she bit her lip gazing down. D last night moments flashed in front of both.

Taani accidentally reached d Lido deck where Rey was swiping his body after a swim in d poodle. She awkwardly turned to go back but Rey pulled her n fixed to d wall following by a passionate kiss.

Taani dodged left but Rey blocked, then she scouted across right but he cut her struggle moving closer without touching. She stumbled back n crossed her arms taking d support of staircase. He leaned forward releasing his warmth to collide with hers by keeping his hands by locking her in a mini circumference. She batted eyelids in fear, turning her face sideways.

"Kyun Taani? Kyun kar rahe ho ye sab?" he complained like a child who's in lot of pain. She stared at him for a moment but soon turned her face to left. "Please Rey, let me go." She was about to break down yet controlled.

"Nahi, aaj nahi. Tum mujhe explanation deke rahogi." He gripped his strength tight. "Tum aise kaise, Rohan ke saath shadi karne ke liye tayyar ho gayi?" How can u, damn it?" he slapped on d staircase support. She shuddered in his loose block.

"I don't think, I need to give an explanation to u Rey" She tried to shove him. Now, he moved his grip on her shoulders. Her look fell on d bandaged hand. Swear on d God, her heart felt on fire. She gaped at him in broken face. Tears started to shred in treadmill fast. Rey was taken aback. He knew it. Darn, he is so sure of her feelings to him but yet he didn't understood her step which is about to ruin 3 lives.

"Aaj teri aur Rohan ka engagement hai Taani." he questioned understanding every bit of her emotion. She strived to put up d brave face. "Mujhe batao, itna bi majboori kya hai, Taani? Mein Rohan se baat karta hun?"

"Rey! Aap samaj nahi rahe ho. Mein apni marzi se haan kahi hun, kyunki mujhe Rohan ki kushi bahut mahine rakta hai." She confronted d truth.

"Per usse pyaar toh nahi karti ho na?" He squeaked in anxiety. "Then y is all this?"

"Aapse kisne kaha ki mein usse pyaar nahi karti hun?" she raged shutting him. He froze. He let out her shoulders in horrendous n turned aside. His throat dried. His stomach rumbled. He kept his hands in pocket n put up d goggles which struck to his t-shirt until now n clumped away leaving her on her own.

"I'm sorry Rey!" she muttered wiping her tears.
