An AKSHAN Story- His revenge, Her love

Chapter 20

FLASHBACK,
5 YEARS AGO,

Aniket: Are you sure you are proposing Antara and not Guddan?

Akshat: For the last time I am saying that I am proposing Antara and not Guddan.

Aniket: But...

Akshat: For God's sake, don't ask me that question again. And if you do, then be prepared for the failure of your date with Richa even before it starts.

Aniket: Are you blackmailing me?

Akshat: I don't want to but you are forcing me to. And how could you think that I would propose Guddan? Are you out of your mind? She is Antara's sister.

Aniket: Wahi to, Antara ki behen hai teri nahi jo tu aise react kar raha hai.

Akshat: Wahi to mai bhi keh raha hun, Antara ki behen hai. You know about my feelings for Antara from the start, then how could you even think that I would propose Guddan and not Antara.

Aniket: Antara ke liye feelings hai, to Guddan ke liye kya hai? Ek baar khud se pooch ki tu Guddan ke liye kya feel karta hai.

Akshat: I love Antara, that's all I know. Mujhe aur kuchh jaanne ki zaroorat nahi hai. And why are you even involving Guddan in all these? Neither I love her nor she does then why?

Aniket: Tu ne kabhi jaanne ki koshish hi nahi ki ke wo tujhse pyaar karti bhi hai ya nahi hai. Uski chhod, tu to khud ye nahi jaanna chahta ki tu Guddan ke liye kya feel karta hai, bas ek baat ko pakad kar baitha hai ki tu Antara se pyaar karta hai.

Akshat: Because I love Antara.

Aniket: Shut up yaar! Koi andha bhi tujhe aur Guddan ko ek saath dekhega na to keh dega tu usse paagalon ki tarah pyaar karta hai lekin tujhe ye baat samajh me kyun nahi aa rahi hai, ye baat meri samajh se baahar hai.

Akshat: What makes you think that I love her and not Antara?

Aniket: Pyaar me insaan apne partner ke liye possessive hota hai, uski taraf attracted hota hai, apna affection dikhane ke liye mouke dhoondhta hai, care karta hai, unke beech me understanding hoti hai, uski khushi me tum khush hote ho, use dard me dekh kar khud hurt hote hai aur sab kuchh hota hai......

Akshat: Ha to, I feel all this towards.....

Aniket: Pehle meri poori baat sun. Ye sab insaan pyaar me feel karta hai lekin agar koi sirf ye sab karta hai uska matlab ye nahi hai ki wo usse pyaar karta hai.

Akshat: What's the difference?

Aniket: Love! Love is the difference. Tu Antara ke liye ye sab feel karta hoga lekin uska matlab ye nahi hai ki tu usse pyaar karta hai. Love is not a mixture of feelings or emotions, it's a different, unique emotion.

Akshat: And I feel that emotion towards Antara. Is that clear to you?

Aniket: Akshat, tu ab bhi...

Akshat: Yaar ab bas kar tera ye love lecture. Mai kal use propose karunga and that's final. I should have done that earlier but it's fine even now. Better late than never.

Aniket: I just hope this won't be your mistake and if it is then I hope you would realise it before regretting your decision.

Akshat: Thanks but no thanks. Tu jaa kar apni date ki taiyari kar.

Aniket left from there sighing exhaustedly at his failed attempts to knock some sense in his dumb friend's brain while Akshat laughed out loud remembering Aniket's words.

Akshat: Me and Guddan? What a joke!!!
