Raj immediately finished the dinner,rushing back to his room,but not before wishing her a good night in a huzzle.While Haseena kept looking at the retreating figure of Raj until her eyes could see,before he closed the door behind him just after entering his room.Haseena gave a sad smile before collecting all the photographs and took the camera in her hand.Taking slow and steady steps she reached the room who's board read "Dark Room".She slowly opened the door and after entering in the room,closed the door behind her.She placed the camera on the table present there and the photos just fell of from the hands.But a close look at the table showed some other photos lying.She picked those photos and a lone tear escaped her eyes.
The photos showed the picture of how two men,one was standing on the cliff end,while the other all drenched in blood and hanging on the cliff.The former one was Raj,while the latter,was Anubhav.Another photo which showed how Anubhav had extended his hand,for any sort of help,but of no use.The third one showed,how Raj ran off,leaving behind Anubhav.All these photos shattered her heart into a zillion pieces.She just sat down the floor,leaning on to the leg of the table,crying,weeping.She muffled her cries,placing her plam on her mouth,so that her voice doesn't go out,such that Raj gets to know anything about her.Her very own husband dying,what Raj said was all a lie,it was not an accident.How her Anubhav's beloved childhood bestie,digged the grave for him,was the mastermind behind his accident,killed him,just to make her his.This is the love he claimed to have for her.But love was not about getting anyone,forcefully,through tricks and tactics.It was never about gaining,it's just selfless,as anubhav taught her.Anubhav had taught her love-which was selfless,love which is by the happiness of the other person,trying to make the other one smile,or become the reason,or rather become their smile themselves.And this was rather contrasting to what she felt was Raj's love.She realised how much of love her Anu had for Raj,how he considered him so near and dear.He never got enough,talking about Raj.How he used to adore him for the poet he was and how she herself used to admire him for the singer,poet he was.She cursed herself for ever letting him in to their small life.How happy were they before him,why did he just had to come,to seperate them like this?Forever?And now......
Feeling weak,she stood up,placing the photos carefully inside an envelope,she closed the door behind her,departing to her bedroom and slept as soon as she hit the bed,feeling tired,owing to exhaustion.Anyone could see the dried tear marks over her cheeks,how puffed up her face was due to all crying,and how a red-tint was there over her nose and cheeks due to the excessive crying.
The next day:
Haseena found Raj laid on the sofa in the living room.Seeing him she got a glimpse of her memories with her Anu,when it was only them and their small world.How he fell down the sofa cause she pushed him down while stirring while asleep.He didn't complain and simply picked her up,laying himself on the sofa and made her lay above him,cuddling with her inside the comforter.A small smile spread on her lips remembering those days,but soon she felt her eyes tearing up so she took a deep breath and calmed herself and called out to Raj.
hm-aap yaha lete hain?aur hum kabse aapko pure ghar main dhoondh rahe the.
raj-kya,kya baat hain haseena(ahh,how she hated hearing her name from his mouth,it just didn't sound right,what she failed to notice was that it never sounded good,and comfortable Cause the first time they met,he didn't used to call her with her name,he used to call har as "aap",she just didn't notice how fast it changed from aap to tum and Haseena.)
hm-woh aaj pata nahi kya,ek khushi sa mehsus horaha hain dil main.Jaise pehli barish ke baad,ped paudhe uchal uthte hain,hume bhi theek waise hi bohot khushi aur acha lag raha hain.
He felt maybe she've recovered mostly from Anubhav's grief,and that she is moving on,making him a step more closer into getting her and owning her.He smirked in his mind,feeling his plan moving steps closer to ultimate success,he did a victory dance in his mind.But he just showed up an expression of a small smile to her.While she continued speaking after grasping his expressions:
