Tanhaiyaan...

Part 21

Recap: Shiva reached Darjeeling and found Raavi. Shivi were sitting on the terrace in silence.

Go through previous parts once if any of u have forgotten.

Shivi were sharing comfortable silence on the terrace. Raavi took a deep breath and broke the silence. She thought it's high time to speak up.

Raavi: tu yaha kyu aaya Shiva?? Kis liye...

To all her questions the answer was she herself. Shiva also spoke the same.

Shiva: tere liye....tere har sawaal ka jawab jo mere pass hai wo hai tu....mai yaha sirf aur sirf tere liye aaya Raavi.

Raavi: kyu..??

Shiva: tujhse maafi mangne...tere saath puri jindagi bitani hai mujhe Raavi...

He looked at her and found she was already looking at him and their eyes met again. She found something in his eyes. What?? Sincerity. Genuineness. She found it because he was. He sincerely wanted to apologise to her for what all she's been through coz of him. We can think he's just guilty but no it was his love speaking. That love which has no boundaries and conditions. The feeling that he made the love of his life suffer. Raavi was willing to listen to his part. She knew what kind of a person Shiva was. A man with golden heart. If he knows he's committed a mistake he'll definitely apologize. But somewhere she had this feeling that he must be guilty and he was apologizing out of his guilt. She thought to talk to him.

Raavi: achanak kaise yaad aa gayi meri...ek dum se tujhe kyu laga ki mujhse maafi mangni hai...

Shiva let out a sad chuckle.

Shiva: yaad unki aati hai jinhe bhul gaye ho...aur iss ek saal mai ek bhi din chodo ek bhi pal aisa nahi gaya jab mujhe teri yaad na aayi ho...jinda lash ban gaya mai tere bina...

Shiva said with tears in his eyes. Raavi's eyes too welled up.

Raavi: kaisa pata chala mai yaha hun...

Shiva: Krish be bday ke din usse kisi unknown number se call aaya tha...

Raavi's eyes widened at this information. She didn't wanted to let him know that it was her. Shiva continued...

Shiva: ek pal ko aise laga jaise ki tune hi call ki ho...teri hi awaaz lagi mujhe... par mai baat karta usse pehle call cut gaya... Krish ne uss number ka pata lagaya tho kisi Geetha ka nikla Kolkata se... aur ussi raat ko ek video dikhaya Krish ne wo...sab kuch repeat pe dikh raha tha kisi ke instagram ke story pe mila tha wo video kya kehte use...

Raavi: Boomerang...

Shiva: ha boomerang...ussi video dikhaya usne...jisme tu thi...meri saanse ruk gaye chipkali...itne waqt baad tujhe dekha tho jitna bhi maine khud ko sab ke saamne strong dikhane ki koshish Kari thi wo sab ek dum se tut gaya...aur uss din mera saara dard bahar aa gaya...tere pass na hone ka dard...tujhe kho dene ka dard...tujhe dard dene ka...sab kuch sab kuch uss din nikal gaya mere andar se... Uske baad gaumbi ne mujhe Sula diya tha...aur agle din...maine yeh than liya ki chahe kuch bhi ho jaye ab mai piche nahi hatunga...mai tere se maafi pa ke rahunga...aur hum police station gaye the...aur waha kaun tha pata hai tujhe....

Raavi looked at him questioningly...

Raavi: kaun??

Shiva: Rajiv wahi officer jinhone teri madad ki thi...yaad hai...

Raavi thought and then it strike her.

Shiva: unhone uss social media ke account aur wo jo phn number tha uske madad se tera address nikal ke diya tha...aur kya uss ke agle pal mai nikal gaya...
