Second Love

Safar

Haseena settled herself in the car and Anubhav started driving ,it was a very quiet journey , neither him nor did she showed any attempt to speak ,he was concentrating on the road which wasn't a typical him ,she was used to his glances whenever they were on long drives

Haseena glanced him for once and then closing her eyes she leaned behind on the back rest ,he sighed , her mind was clouded with questions and he knew that ,she couldn't help but think about the day when she herself shot Anubhav, but now he was in front of her and she knew he wasn't the traitor but was he the one who tried to kill her by sending Mira ? Was he the one who shot bullet on her ?if it was not him then who was it ? And if it was him then why he did that ?why he tried killing her ?he may have had a reason but what was it ? And there was one more question in her mind ,the most difficult one to ask ,did he ever love her ?

The car stopped with loud sound ,making her open her eyes due to sudden break

"Miss Malik shayad vaahan ke chakr mein kuch kharabi aa gayi hai " Anubhav watched confusion evident on Haseena's face "tyre mein kuch kharabi hai ,shayad phat Gaya hai ,hum dekhte hain " he said and she nodded ,he came out of the car the tyre was on the side where Haseena was sitting so he came to that side and looked at the wheel and it was easy to guess that the tyre burst ,he looked at the tyre worried , Haseena also decided to come out from the car but while coming out her hand got a hit by the door and she squeaked making Anubhav's shout her name "Haseena Ji " he rushed towards her and asked her if she was ok ,she nodded staring at him ,her mind still stuck to he world "Haseena ji " it had been months since she heard this word from his mouth and he felt her numbness ,her state of mind, so he tried changing topic

AS- Miss Malik Tyre phat gaya hai ,dusra tyre hai nhi aur thaana 500 metre dur hi hai chaliye paidal chalte hain

She nodded and he stepped towards thana but Haseena stood there lost in her thoughts

"Anubhav"she called him from behind and he stopped on his place ,his heartbeat increased just by hearing his name from her mouth

HM- Anubhav sach kya hai ?

he slowly turned behind ,he can't answer that

" kaisa sach ?"he acted to be unaware of the meaning behind her question )

" aap nhi jaante ?"she asked knowing very well that he was faking to be oblivious to the meaning of the question she asked

"hum deshdrohi nhi hain ,itna sach kaafi nhi hai ?" he answered in a soft tone ,looking into her eyes

"aapko sach mein lagta hai ye kaafi hai ?" she broke the eyelock with great difficulty and looked away

he sighed ,he knew she wanted answers to her questions
and he knew that he is the one who is accountable to all her questions

" kya sach jaan na hai aapko ? "he asked turning his face away and taking slow steps towards the thaana

HM followed him ,and they were now side by side walking on the road together

"Mira ko aapne bheja tha ?" he shooked his head indicating no while bowing his head down ,though he knew it was a genuine question ,he knew she just wanted to know the truth but a part of him broke every time when he thought that Haseena have considered him as a traitor and a person who attempted to murder her

Haseena stopped on her track ,she smiled ,her heart was right and a big burden was relieved from her head ,she realised that she was left behind and Anubhav was still walking bowing his head down

she hurried towards him

HM- Anubhav aapne abhi humaare saare sawaalon ka jawab nahi diya

AS(still looking down) puchiye prashn miss malik agar ho saka to uttar avashy denge
