Dooriyan diaries

Apart

Three days later:-

Anokhi gets a parcel. She opens it to find Shaurya's blazer.

Anokhi-Oh Shaurya! How could you?

She hugs the blazer and smells it and showers her love and kisses on it, trying to get essence of him in it. Just then she finds someone at her door. She goes and hugs him and shares a passionate kiss. Before she could take it in Shaurya was onto her.

Aisha-Continue in room! Bye! I will take my purse and go. Have fun!

Anokhi and Shaurya were blushing.

Anokhi-Tum aur yahan?

Shaurya-Tum kitna ro rhi thi toh aise bardash nhi hua. Aa gya. But zyada khush mat ho jana. Bas ek din ke liye aaya hoon. Kal wapas chala jaunga. Nau baje ki flight se. You might want to pack for the night. And hurry up. Not much time we have.

Anokhi is just throwing things into her bag with one one hand as she didn't want to let go of his hand. He was also throwing in stuff with his free hand.

Then they quickly leave. They go to a hotel Shaurya had booked for the day. Shaurya and Anokhi keep chatting away. Shaurya had come with 2 suitcases, the smaller one with his stuff. The larger one was filled with things people had sent for Anokhi which included eatables by Devi, Aastha and Rama. It also included some clothes so that Anokhi could have some fresh pairs.

Shaurya-Hey! Ab kya karna hai! Bolo naa. Only so many hours left. Pehle. Pehle. Shower? Lunch? Kya karna hai.
Yaa phir film dekhna hai? Aur raat ko dinner pe chale? Yaa phir room service.

Anokhi-Are you stupid. Everyone that I want is in this room. Mein pagal nhi hoon ki bahar jaoon. So room service. I just want to cherish you Shaurya.

Shaurya-And I want to cherish you.

Anokhi-Hmmm. So first shower. Lunch can wait. I need to get cleaned up and then we can chill. Aaj nahaya nhi tha. Class ke liye late ho gya.

Shaurya-Breakfast?

She nods in no.

Shaurya-Kitni baar bolun. Yeh nhi chalega. Chalo have your food. Shower baad mein. Let's get something down your throat first.

Anokhi-Arre yaar bhook nhi hai.

Shaurya-I know but still. Have it. Warna weak ho jaogi.

Anokhi-Wait! That's why you came all the way! My periods?

Shaurya-Yes.

Anokhi-Shaurya! I am not a kid. I can handle it. How many times should explain you? I thought you came just to meet me. I don't need to be taken care of like this.

Shaurya-Hey! I didn't mean to offend you. I just wanted to stay around. I know tumhara mood unn dino zyada off hota hai so....

Anokhi-So every month you are gonna come? You have lost it completely. And I don't like it. I wish you would have come because you miss me. You lied to me.

Shaurya-Anokhi I miss you.

Anokhi-Yes. But that's not why you came. You came for my health. Not for me. I just need some space now. This is just too much. I appreciate your concern and I liked that you did sweet things for me. But yeh zyada ho gya. I don't like to be treated as if I were fragile. I don't like this at all.

Shaurya becomes sad.

Shaurya-Ok then. Chalta hoon.

He starts packing his bag. Anokhi just sits on one side of the bed. Shaurya leaves with just one glance at Anokhi. He was teary eyed. Anokhi was too. There was no denying she loved him. She loved to be around him but this was a bit too much. She expected him to come just like that rather there was a reason. Getting to know it this way shocked her a bit. True that it's nice to have considerate people around but sometimes you don't want to be treated as breakable. Shaurya was leaving the hotel. Anokhi left right behind him. There was only one lift and she was forced to take it. Just then lift stopped.

Anokhi-Ab yehi baki tha!

Shaurya would not react. He was still emotional.

Anokhi-Just because you are more emotional doesn't make you right. This wasn't right. I want to be loved. I loved that you sent me your blazer but I don't want you to control the way life treats me.

Shaurya nods.

Anokhi-Kuch nhi kahoge?

Shaurya nods in a no. He turns his face away. He was shedding silent tears. He was hurt too. He had come all the way for her and she got offended. Both had valid but different view points. It was 10 min and didn't seem like they were getting out anytime soon. Anokhi finally sat on the floor. So did Shaurya. Shaurya would not face her. Anokhi was staring at Shaurya. She knew he was hurt.

Shaurya-Sorry! You got stuck in a lift. Because I chose this hotel.

Anokhi-You don't have to take care of everything about me. I love that you do little things for me. But don't do these things.

Shaurya-How do I know what to do and what not? I won't do anything from now. Sorry.

Anokhi-Shaurya!

Shaurya doesn't reply.

She touched his shoulder. He jerks her hand off. Her hand hits the wall. She lets out an ouch. He turns back. He was just going to check her hand but he remembers her words. He just doesn't ask. He is hurting that he can't ask but still he keeps quiet.

Anokhi-I am fine.

Hearing her voice his body language relaxes. He nods in an okay and turns back to the wall.

Author note-I only got emotional writing this. Never happened till today. Thodasa bura laga for shakhi. 😂😂😂
