Act 7C

"Sabke baare main sochna tum, bas Anuj ke baare main nahin? Mat sochna ki kya beeti hai us par jab tumhe chot lagi. Mat sochna ki kese jeeyega wo tumhare bina, agar tumhe kabhi kuch ho gaya toh. Mat sochna. Mat sochna", As he took another step back, he hit the back of his knee against the bed and lost his balance as he started to fall back. Acting quickly while Anupama clasped his one hand, he used the other to hold on to the curtain as it slipped off the rod and fell on both of them, blanketing them in white.

Their eyes met and both continued to look at each other, surprised as Anupama slowly pulled him to his feet, as he stood in front of her, and raised his other hand to hold the curtain above their heads.

Ek tujhko hi bas dekh kar

Bhooli mujhko hi meri nazar

Enamored, he stared at her, his earlier outburst forgotten. But when it came back to him, realizing that he had been one big asshole to her, he started to move away when he found that they were still holding hands. He loosened his fingers then, and waited for her to do the same but she didn't. Her grip only tightened in response and his eyes rounded in surprise before he found himself getting lost in her eyes,which in the moment held an insurmountable depth.

Tujhko shayad nahi hai khabar

Tujhko jeete hain hum kis kadar

"Are you better now?"Anupama spoke finally, breaking their trance and he nodded his head, half transfixed, half embarrassed.

"I-I am so sorry, Anu.I didn't know w..what came over me and I...you...",Anuj searched for appropriate words,stealing his gaze from her.

Internally, he reproached himself. He had crossed a line today, one that wasn't his to cross.

After a moment of consideration as Anupama decided to speak, Anuj looked up into her eyes baffled.

"Aap pagal hain kya?"She reprimanded him while he tried to decipher and untangle the storm of emotions swirling in her eyes.

"Aise overreact kyun kar rahe thhe?" She added and then it dawned on him. His rudeness had upset her thoroughly, to the point that he couldn't read her eyes accurately.

Filled with shame, he glanced away before looking at her again, determined to apologize."Anu...I—

"Agar aapko panic attack ho jata toh? Matlab, bilkul dhyaan nahi rakhte apna aur mujhe bewakoof kehte hain!" She scolded him then, her fist clenched by her side.

His eyes flickered momentarily between her stormy eyes and the pressure building in her fist. Was she....furious on him, because of him?

That aside, he was worried, she would punch him for his transgression.

But her fingers loosened as she pinched the bridge of her nose and glared his way, "Aapki medicines ab tak chal rahi hain aur aap hai ki ekdum se itna stress main aagaye. Itna gussa karna acha nahi hai aapke liye".

Anuj nodded.Yes, Anu. Tumhara gussa bhi meri sehat ke liye acha nahi hai. Nonetheless, he tried to pacify her.

"Main wo—

"Aur aap ye sab baatein apne mann main aise...dabakar baithe thhe?"

But she had sliced him off, "Aapko pata nahi hai ki aise dil main cheezein rakhne se insaan andar se ghut jata hai...par fir bhi aapne mujhse kuch nahi bola, aur abhi ek dum se...vo..volcano ki tarah fatt pade. Aap sahi main pagal hain!"
