This is a continuation of Tum Hi Ho by Black_Hat52. It starts from where Shaurya asks Anokhi to leave and expresses his irritation. You need to read her story to understand  mine.

Anokhi- Mein itni buri hoon! Ki aap mere sath rehna hi nhi chahte! Hum sath kab the? Aap toh yeh nhi chahte ki mein wahan rhoon jahan aap rehte ho. I don't know ki aisa kya kar diya maine. Jawab di jiye. Chali jaungi.

Shaurya doesn't say anything.

Anokhi- Mein jawab ke bina nhi jaane wali.

Shaurya- Kyunki tum shayd mujhse pyaar karne lagi ho! Tumhe pyaar ho gya hai mujhse.

Anokhi- Yeh galti hai meri?

Shaurya- Haan. Jisse mein sudharna chahta hoon. Tumhe door bhejke.

Anokhi- Meri pati nhi mante ho. Toh kis hak se meri galti sudharne ki koshish kar rhe ho.

Shaurya- Insaniyat ke naate. Tum acchi ho mein nhi chahta ki tumhe takleef ho. Chali jao.

Anokhi- Mujhe aapse door jaane mein takleef hogi. Shayd aapse pyaar ho gya hai mujhe. Pata nhi kyu. Kaise bas ho gya. Aapke suit ke dhagon se pyaar ho gya. Aap ke shower kiye hue baalon se pyaar ho gya. Aapke not clean shaven look se pyaar ho gya. Aapke mere paas hone se pyaar ho gya. I love you Mr. Shaurya Sabbarwaal.

Shaurya- Kya pyaar kafi hota hai? Mere toh pyaar mein hi kami hai Anokhi. Mein tumhe kabhi waise nhi chah paunga.

Anokhi- Toh kya karu! Jis din lagega ki ek tarfa rishta nibha nhi paa rhi chali jaungi. But aaj yeh rishta ek tarfa hi sahi mere liye bohot special hai. Shayd meri life ka woh hissa jo jabse khoobsurat hai.

Shaurya- Anokhi! Isse zyada kuch nhi mil sakta tumhe.

Anokhi- Ek ladki shayd jab arranged marriage karke aati hai tab woh ek hi cheez feel karna chahti hai to be respected. She wants to feel safe. Haan shayd aap mere pyaar ko samjhte nhi but you respect me as a woman. As a human.

Shaurya- Anokhi! I can't.  I can't. 

Anokhi- Kya?

Shaurya- I can't have sex. I can never be a dad. I had cancer. Prostrate cancer. Yeh mujhse bulwana zaroori tha? Ab chain mila! Mujhse yeh bulwake. Mujhe embarrass karke?

Anokhi- Kis baat ki embarrassment. Maine kuch nhi kia. Kyunki issme embarrass hone wali baat nhi. I would be lying if I say this is not a shock. Should you have come clean about this before? Yes. I have the right to know the person I am marrying.  But I have fallen in love with you. This doesn't matter. I fell in love with you. Agar mein kisi insaan se pyaar karti aur usse infertility hoti chodke nhi jati. But knowing this about a stranger may have made me feel differently. In an arranged marriage setting some times these things matter because you fear growing apart and so you want to fill the space with sex and babies. So mein samjh sakti hoon why you hid it. I am shocked. But I am ok.

Shaurya- What? But how can you be ok!

Anokhi- I am. But aapko ek promise karna hoga ki aap atleast mere dost banoge.

Shaurya- Dost? Mein dost.

He has tears in his eyes.

Anokhi- Yes. Hum nayi shuruat karenge. As friends.  Please.

Shaurya- Hmmm. Mujhe aadat nhi hai.

Anokhi- Koi baat nhi. Mein hoon naa.

Shaurya- Hmm. Itne saal baad koi hai. Ahir ke eliva.

Anokhi- Chalo abhi bohot hua rona dhona. Mein dinner lati hoon. Room mein khaye?

Shaurya- Room mein.

Anokhi- Haan. Bas ek chota kadam.

Shaurya- Theekh hai. Mein thoda fresh ho jata hoon.

He returns to find dinner setup.

Shaurya- Anokhi yeh sab toh mere pasand ka hai?

Anokhi- Aapka mood kharab tha toh bas.

Shaurya- Tumhara bhi mood kharab tha. Abhi dinner mein toh bohot kuch banaya hai. Desert tumhari pasand ki bahar se khaye? I mean agar tum chahe toh.

Anokhi- Hmmm. Haan. Haan.

Shaurya- Anokhi maine kuch galat kahan kya? Sorry. Tum aise emotional kyu?

Anokhi- Pehli baar lag rha hai sath mein kha rhe hai. Maa, papa hai hi but mujhe fir bhi kisike sath khane ka bohot mann hota tha.

Shaurya- Aur meri wajah se. Khair abhi nayi shuruat hai. Chalo khatr hai.

They have a meal and start to make very small talk.

Shaurya- Anokhi tumhara favorite color kya hai?

Anokhi- Pink.

Shaurya- Oh. Isliye tumhare cupboard mein itne saare pink cheeze hai.

Anokhi- Aap notice karte ho?

Shaurya- Hmm. Mein nhi toh. Matlab bas aise hi dikh gya.

Anokhi is disappointed. To cheer her up as he realized he should not have said that.

Shaurya- Haan but kitna bhi pink pasand karo tum. Tumhara favoritetoh woh yellow wala suit hi hai naa. Tum usse kitna zyada pehnti ho.

Anokhi- Aapko yaad hai? Wohi suit maine pehna tha mooh dikhai ke din. Oh! Koi baat nhi yaad nhi hai toh. Koi baat nhi!

Next day when she comes back from her work. She notices a suit on the bed which was yellow in color.

Shaurya- Tumhe yellow suit karta hai but woh fade ho gya hai. Ab se yeh pehen lo.

Anokhi- Thank you.

Shaurya- Pehenke dikhao naa. I mean agar size theekh nhi hai toh return karna padega naa. (He didn't want to admit he wanted to see her in that suit. He was very shy with girls due to his low self esteem. )

Anokhi- Achaa. Pehenke aati hoon. (As Anokhi knew he would never admit he wanted to see her in his choice.)

She looked stunning.

Shaurya- Aaj mein thoda bore ho rha hoon. Bahar chale kya? Tumhe kaam hai toh koi baat nhi. But agar ho sake toh. Mein Ahir ko bhi bula loonga.

Anokhi realized this was Shaurya's way of asking for date in his shy way.

Anokhi- It's ok. Ahir ji ko aise last minute mein pareshan mat kijiye. Hum chalte hai.

They walk put together. Shaurya steadily tries to move closer. Anokhi takes his hand in hers because she knew he never would do it.
