Kuch kahena tha

Part - 9

Next morning,

Ragini woke up first. Saw herself in Veer's arm. Then her eyes go into the bracelet. She smiled and then realization hits her. She remembered everything that happened at night.

She pushed Veer.

V : what the...

R : I am sorry .. Sorry Veer wo galti se. Nahi mera matlab .. main wo aise .. pata nahi kaise so gayi. I am really very sorry..

V : are are calm down Ragini. It's okay.

R : no it's not okay. I can't be emotional infront of anyone. I can't. How can I be emotional infront of anyone!! Nahi nahi nahi.. Veer tum please kisiko batana matt mai ro rahi thi. Tum tum jo bologe main sunungi. Bas kisiko batana maat. Aur main ghar pe bhi batana bhul gayi. Abhi mujhe phir sunni padegi . Hahahaha.. oh God kaisi birthday hai.

She was getting panicked. Veer was just observing her. He was not shocked seeing her like that. Because at least she was reacting. In last one year she was like a robot.

V in mind : yeh bohot depression mein hai. Isko inha se na nikala toh mental health ki band baj jayegi. Kuch karna padega.

V : Ragini bas. Kuch nahi bigda hai. Tune agar kuch share kiya toh kiya. Usme itna panick kyun kar rahi hai? Main tera kuch bhi nahi lagta kya? (Last line he said looking direct in her eyes)

Tears formed in her eyes. She cupped his face.

R : sorry Veer. But I don't deserve you. I am a total mess. I am so broken. You will not be able to collect those pieces. Kab tak sambhaloge? Kab tak sametoge mujhe? Thak jaoge.. ho sake toh Dur raho mujhse. Tumhare liye acha hoga. Tum bohot acche ho tumhe pata hai na?

Veer was in tears.

V : main haar nahi manunga Ragini. I will still wait.

R : please mujhe ghar chor doge?

Veer nodded. They left in his bike. The whole ride was silent. Ragini hugged him from behind and kept her head on his back feeling the sukoon. She spoke breaking the silence.

R : Veer

V : hmm

R : hum dost rahenge na?

V : ofcourse Ragini.

R : kaal raat ke baad humare beech kuch change toh nahi hua na?

V : kaal raat kya hua tha Ragini?

R : wo I got emotional and ..and .. maine tumhe kuch bola... Toh wo jo bhi bola...uss baat se hum strangers toh nahi ban jayenge na?

V : pagal hai kya? Aur aisi kya baat boli tu? ( Teasing her)

R in mind : isne thik se suna nahi kya. Haash acha hua. Bach gayi. Nahi par aise kaise? Kahi yeh ..

She hit his shoulder.

R : tum na pitoge mujhse..

V : hahahaha.. acha baba jo bhi kaal humari baatein hui hai wo bhul jate hai. Thik hai?

R : han.

Veer stopped the bike a little far from her house as usual.

V : chal aa gaya. Dhyan se ja.

R : Veer, itna sa hi jana hai..

V : phir bhi. Acha chal bye.

R : sorry Veer , aaj ke din bhi tujhe ghar pe nahi bula rahi. Actually I don't want to be embarrassed infront of you.

V : chill Ragini. Tujhe har baat ka, tere har ek action ka justification dene ki zaroorat nahi hai. Thoda relax karo. Humesha kisi dawaw mein mat raho. Kabhi mabhi jo ho raha usse hone do. You can't be perfect in everything. Kuch na kuch chutega hi.
