Kalindi was waiting on the terrace. Her forehead covered with sweatbeads of nervousness and anxiety. She was cracking her fingers out of nervousness waiting for Trilochan to come up to the terrace.
Woh galat toh nhi sochenge na? Par Kalindi tune bhi toh kuch bataya nahi tha uss Bihari ko? Kese batati, mujhe dekhkar hi thar thar kaanp raha tha woh jese koi bhoot dekh liya ho! Wapis chali jaau kya? Kesi baatein kar rahi hai tu Kalindi! Bhul mat, darti nhi hai tu kisi se.
Kalindi's chain of thoughts break as she hears somebody clear their throat. She turns and looks at Trilochan who was shifting on his feet out of nervousness. He was unaware of why she called him to talk, and that too alone!
There was some space between both their terrace. She came near the corner of her terrace and he came near his. Kalindi tries to speak up but finds herself at a loss of words. This man still had the same effect on her, even after so many years!
She had met Trilochan once before marriage. From then, she considered him as her future husband. When Trilochan was unconscious, fighting for his life and she was treating him a day before their marriage, Kalindi realised that she loved him.
That desperation in her heart to save him, crossing all boundaries of the society, made her realise that she can do anything for him. When he betrayed her, she was broken beyond measures. She felt abandoned. Still, she forgave him, tried to move on and make her own identity. But all she craved was just one pure apology from him, accepting his mistake of not standing up for her when she needed him the most!
Whereas our Trilochan was no different! He always knew that Kalindi was a talented girl, he always saw a prospective wife in her. When he saw her for the first time he was lost in her beauty. He accepted her as a wife.
He saw her dedication towards him when she treated him not caring about the barriers of the society. He insisted her to leave him alone as he could already guess what would happen if he made out alive.
There is a saying, your life and the images of your loved ones flashes in front of your eyes as you experience a near death experience. When he almost faced death, he saw his family, his father, mother, brother and one hazy figure of a lady, Kalindi! That moment he knew that he loved her.
Alas, their love was buried due to the social barriers and rules of the patriarch society.
Trilochan always knew, always, that it was all his fault. He had been a coward. That his father's fake pride was more important to him than his love for his to-be wife. But, his male ego, never allowed him to except his mistake.
They didn't realise for how long they were standing in silence, all lost in their thoughts. Their reverie broke as soon as they heard a vase fall due to the wind.
The atmosphere turned awkward as Trilochan and Kalindi both looked here and there to find words to talk to each other.
Kalindi clears her throat and says, "Mujhe aapse kuch zaruri baat karni hai Bondita aur Jamai Babu ke baare mai!" Trilochan breaths a sigh of relief as he realised that she called him for talking about kids.
