KoeZi and SidSa reached the dispensary at the same time, they looked at each other, worry clearly reflecting in their eyes, Koel and Faizi saw Sid holding Sanjana's hand and they understood that the two had sorted everything between them.
The four quickly entered the room and saw Karan sitting beside an unconscious Monami, holding her hand and some tears in his eyes.
"Monu..." Sid said and immediately moved towards her, Karan moved back leaving Monami's hand as Sid sat beside her, Faizi and Sanjana stood with Karan, while Koel went and stood beside Sid, "Kya hua Monu ko..." Sid asked turning to Karan.
"Doctor ne kaha ki stress ki wajah se hua hai yeh sab..." Karan answered.
"Par tum toh Monami se baat karne gaye the naa... phir..." Faizi asked him, everyone else was also looking at Karan, waiting for his answer.
"Woh hua yeh ki..." Karan began narrating.
Karan took Monami to the terrace, their meeting place for the two years they had spent together, Monami finally managed to free her hand from his hold.
"Yeh kya kar rahe the tum, Karan... yeh konsa tareeka hai behave karne ka..." she asked him.
"Yeh toh tum mujhe batao... tum kya kar rahi ho... Sid se shaadi, for real..." he asked, not hiding his annoyance at all.
"Tumse matlab... main Sid se shaadi karu yaa kisi aur se, tumhe kya farak padta hai... tumne toh chod diya tha na mujhe, humare bich toh sab kuch khatam ho gaya tha naa... phir yeh sab sawaal karne ka tumhara koi haq nahi hai..." she said looking straight into his eyes, he did not say anything, "Stay away from my personal matters..." she added and turned around to go back to the party hall, when he held her hand and in a swift motion turned her around, her front collided with his, she looked at him shocked by the sudden movement, "Karan..." she said recovering from the shock and trying to free herself.
He tightened the grip, looking at her, "Kya kaha tumne... haq nahi hai... mera haq nahi hai..." he asked her.
"Haa, yehi kaha maine, tumhara koi haq nahi hai..." she answered looking back at him with the same intensity as him, "Kyunki yeh haq tum usi din kho chuke ho jis din tumne humara rishta khatam kar diya tha..." she said, a layer of tears collected in her eyes, seeing her tears, his anger vanished and he loosened his grip on her hand, he also moved back, she freed herself from his hold and took back few steps, "Do saal pehle, tumne sab kuch khatam kiya tha Karan... tum mere saath nahi rehna chahte the... tumhe laga ki mere dost ki wajah se Sanju ka dil tut gaya hai, isiliye tumne mera dil bhi tod diya... Sid se naraaz the tum, aur saza mujhe de di..." she said as tears flowed from her eyes, his guilt increased as her words reminded him of the harsh decision he had taken two years ago, he was only thinking as Sanjana's mentor and friend that he did not even think about Sid and Monami, "Maine tumhe kitni baar samjhaya ki shaanti se baat karte hai... sabhi problems ko sort out karte hai... Sid aur Sanju ko samjhate hai... lekin nahi... tumhe toh apne gusse ke aage, apni judgments ke aage kuch dikhta hi nahi, kabhi kisiki sunte hi nahi ho tum..." she added further, he couldn't say anything, very well knowing each and every word she said was true, she stopped talking and turned the other side to stop the tears that were flowing and compose herself.
"Monami..." he said and moved a step towards her, but before he could complete his sentence, she stumbled a little and was about to fall down when he held her in his arms, and before he could understand what had happened to her, she fell unconscious.
