Chapter 6 (THE PAST)

Sanyu and Veer both sat by the window watching the beautiful weather outside with birds chirping, and the plants and trees enjoying the slight breeze. It was a calm and serene weather outside. But the same wasn't the case in Veer's heart and mind. His heart was beating much faster because of anxiety. The fear, the one single fear which was eating up his insides. 'What if after knowing his past, Sanyu decides to walk out on him. Though he wouldn't stop her, coz it's her life and she decides who's she wants to spend it with. And he was somewhat sure that hearing about him and his dark deeds, no one would want to stay with him. After his own mother had distanced herself from him. Even though she came back to him later. But.... anyways he has made up his mind to reveal it to her and he would do it, without missing out on a single detail. He was still in his own thoughts, when he felt a soft hand entwining with his own. He tightened the hold and after taking a deep breath started off....

Veer- Those were the best days of my life. I was always so happy and yeah, damn naughty. You know when I was 6 years old, at that time Randhir was 3. We were like those brothers who would obviously fight, but then we were inseparable too. Both of us were too protective of each other. We used to play with each other, eat, dance, fight and even bath with each other. (Chuckles slightly) We both were best friends. And yeah we had another bestie too. She was 5 years old then. She was too cute. (Pausing a bit and then chuckling again when he remembered something else too) You, Mishty, and I used to pretend to be a couple and Randheer was our son. We played family. Obviously we enjoyed too much. We were small kids, but those moments are still ingrained in my mind. I won't lie to you, but I had somewhere accepted Mishty as my life partner too. (Sanyu had widened her eyes and seeing her Veer chuckled again)

Come on yaar, Sanyu. We were small kids back then. But I must say, those were some beautiful days. But as they say, night comes after the bright day. Same ways, dark says came in my life too. (Getting serious)

Sanyu cupped his cheek with her free hand and slowly rubbed her thumb on his cheeks, which gave him the much needed strength to continue. He was still a bit skeptical to continue, coz he didn't want to miss out on her love and care that she was giving to him. He just felt scared to loose her. As if she sensed his fears, she pulled his face to her and kissed him on his forehead and then on his eyes. And spoke up, before moving back, "I would never ever let you go away from me. You are stuck with me for the rest of your life." Saying so, she chuckled and smiled brightly. Veer smiled at her and spoke up soon.

Veer- It so happened, one day that, we three were playing together. During that, I and Randheer started a fight out of nowhere and then, before I could understand anything, somehow, by mistake I had pushed him into a waterfall. And just like that, in a single moment I lost my baby brother, and my entire happiness with that. Mishty saw that too and we both got scared. But I was more shocked than scared. We didn't know what to do. So she somehow took me back to the palace and informed my parents what happened. I hadn't spoke a word because I was not in my senses. My parents thought that we might have misinterpreted the entire situation. So they didn't worry too much. But then when they actually went to the spot and found Randheer missing, that was when they realized what the entire situation was. But you know what went worse, was the fact that our family soon fell apart.

Once Mom came to know that Randheer was missing, she came to me and asked me about it. But I was in a deep shock. Still somehow I told her what had happened. And....

She slapped me, not once, not twice but many times. But I didn't feel the pain, because I was in too much pain. It jad numbed all other senses of mine. I was clueless. After few days, mom somehow handled herself. But the search operation was still on. In all these days, I had stopped going out and had refused to meet anyone. Mishty too had come to meet me. But I pushed her away also. Mom was too angry on me. She had stopped talking with me.
