* ~The Last Wish~ * ShaKhi FF - Shaurya + Anokhi Fanfiction

Part - 4

Anokhi, what the hell are you up to? Shaurya sounded impatient as well as angry - Mera lecture attend kyu nhi kiya tumne?
Anokhi, who was sitting on the stairs, stood up - Sorry sir, kal se karungi pakka.

Shaurya - Tum lectures bunk kar rahi ho Anokhi? Tum?
Anokhi felt deeply embarrassed.

Shaurya sat down beside her - Anokhi tumhe nhi lagta ki tum thodi badal gayi ho? Tummein woh fire, woh jasba aab dikhai nehi deta. Tumhara dhyan bhatak raha hai Anokhi aur ye mujhe acche nhi lag raha. Anokhi tumhare andar bohot potential hai. Isko waste mat hone do.
Anokhi - Mujhe pata hai, SIR, ki mujhmein potential hai. Mujhe ye bhi pata hai ki mera dhyan bhatak raha hai. Aur ye bhi ki mujhe jald se jald apna dhyan wapas studies mein lagani padegi. Aur wahi koshish kar rahi hu. Apne aap ko thoda time dekar. Par kya aapko pata hai ki is sab ki wajah kya hai?
Shaurya tried to force a smile - Its good, its good ki tum koshish kar rhi ho. Karti raho. You will get your focus back. Main chalta hu.. mujhe kuch kam hai.. wahan...

He was about to get up but stopped as Anokhi grabbed his wrist.
Anokhi - Aap bhag rahe ho sir? Par main to isbar aapko bhagne nhi dungi.
Shaurya tried to release his hand from her grip but failed. He sat down but did not face her.
Shaurya - Bolo.
Anokhi - Jab main yahaan ayi thi, mere goals bht clear the sir. Par jo bhi yahan hua mere saath, aapke saath, usse kuch badal sa gaya hai. Aapka to pta nhi par mujhe kuch hua hai sir. Aur isiliye mujhe time chahiye. Apne aapko samhalne ke liye.
Shaurya - Time hi to nhi hai..
Anokhi - Huh? Kuch kaha aapne?
Shaurya - Anokhi...anokhi...anokhi... Time le lo tum.. but zyada mat lena. Tumhara exams aa rahe hai. Top karna hai na tumhe? Ek aur saal bas. Uske baad tumhe kabhi bhi piche mudke nhi dekhna padega.
Anokhi - Main to post grads bhi karungi. Aur doctorate bhi. Aap ke under hi karungi. Aapse zyaada accha guide aur mentor mujhe nhi milegi.
Shaurya felt a deep urge to put his arms around her. But he controlled his emotions. He had to make sure that Anokhi is okay. Otherwise he won't be able to leave for his treatment in London. For that, he had to be rude if necessary.

Shaurya - But Anokhi. Main yahan sari zindagi nhi rahunga na? But I will make sure ki tumhe koi aur accha and supportive mentor mil jaye.
Anokhi - Aap.. aap kahi jaa rahe ho?
Shaurya - haan...
Anokhi - Kahan jaa rahe ho aap? Patiala?
London..London jaa raha hu main - Shaurya blurted.
Anokhi - London? Kyu? Kab?
Shaurya's heart broke at the change of her tone.
Shaurya - Anokhi... London mein...wo... Meri fiancee hai... Shagun.. Hum jald shaadi karnewale hai..aur fir main wahi shift ho jaunga...
A few moments of silence. Anokhi felt a surge of heat pulsating through her body. She felt as if she was glued to her position, unable to move or speak.
Shaurya tried hard not to look at her but couldn't stop himself. He was shocked to see her face. It was pale, as if the last drop of blood had drained. Her pink cheeks had turned like paper.
Shaurya - Anokhi?
The care and concern in his voice was evident. Anokhi got up - Mujhe...mujhe...jana hai......
Shaurya- Ruko..Anokhi...
She started walking, fighting back the flood of tears..
Shaurya followed her - Anokhi ruko.. baat to suno meri...
She started running, tears flowing down her cheeks..
Shaurya ran too and caught up with her in a few minutes. He pulled her by the arm to make her stop. She grabbed his collar for support but realised and let it go the next instant.
Shaurya - Baat suno meri.
Anokhi - Aap plzz jane dijiye mujhe abhi..
Shaurya held her face and made her turn - Suno.. idhar dekho... Idhar.. meri taraf.. ro kyu rahi ho tum? Pagal ho kya?
Anokhi kept struggling in his embrace - Please.. jane do.. please...
Shaurya - Tum chup rahogi ek min?
Anokhi could hold her tears no longer. As they broke free, Shaurya looked at her, his fingers firmly around her wrists.
Anokhi stopped struggling and wept.
Shaurya - Anokhi... Please..rona band karo..
Anokhi- Koshish...koshish to kar rahi hu na Sir? She looked up at him with moistened eyes...
Shaurya couldn't take it. He released her from his grip. She took two steps back, stood there and cried her heart out.

Shaurya - Kyu ro rahi ho tum? Huh?
Anokhi didn't answer.
Shaurya - Bhul gayi tum yahan kya karne ayi thi? Anokhi.. please... Focus on your studies.. please... Ye sab jo tum feel kar rhi ho.. its not real.. it will go away... It happens... tumhe in sab cheezo ko seriously nhi lena chahiye.. tum samajh rahi ho na? You are an intelligent girl. You can't fall weak...?

Anokhi - Koshish... kar rahi hu...nhi ho raha.. main... Mere sath... Ye sab... Nhi hua kabhi..... Main.... Aapko....main.... Her words got stuck in her tears.

Without thinking twice, Shaurya pulled her into his arms. She buried her face into his chest and wept. He stroked her hair, his own eyes moistening. As Shaurya tightened his grip around her, Anokhi put her arms around his waist. She held him like a drowing person, gasping for breath.

Shaurya brushed a few strands of hair from her face and whispered into her ears - Main hu abhi..ok? Jabtak tumhe tumhari manzil na mil jaye, main tumhe akela nhi chodunga. Chahe kuch bhi ho jaye..

As he ran his fingers through her hair, she closed her eyes in blissful ecstasy....
