Neil did not say anything to anyone and simply got up from his seat and left the room. Don't know how many people called out to him from behind but he was going out of the hospital without any consciousness or voice. He was walking unconsciously on the middle road when a truck honked from behind him but he did not hear that sound either.When the truck was about to hit Neil, Abhimanyu caught his hand and brought him with him to the side street of the road.
" Neil, tu thik hai? Tujhe kahi lagi to nahi? " Saying this, Abhimanyu hugged Neil tightly but till now Neil did not utter a single word from his mouth and Abhimanyu understood the condition he was in. So without saying anything he decided to take Neil to Birla House and they both went home. Neil was standing at the door of the house, he was not feeling good at all going there after so many years and even more so without Aarohi. But Abhimanyu forcefully took him inside the house and he went upstairs to his room without talking to anyone. He was so engrossed in his grief that he neither noticed his daughter nor the photo of Aarohi in front of whom everyone was worshiping. He went to his room and because of the darkness he could not see anything and he fell down after hitting the bed. He sat down near the corner of the bed and blankly kept looking at only one place.
"Aaahhh!!!....." He screamed as loudly as he could and quickly pressed both his palms on his ears and started crying loudly. He tried his best to release all the frustrations, anger, resentment and pain that he had inside him.
His entire life revolved around only one person and that was his Aarohi. A person who filled his colourless life with a colourful shine. The day he started his life with Aarohi, he got lost in those moments.
The day Aarohi and Neil had eloped and got married, their family members had thrown them out just because of Akshara's lies. Both of them were suddenly alone and after leaving the house with their suitcase, Neel took Aarohi to the place where they would find peace for the rest of their life.
" Neil hum kaha jaa rahe hai " Aarohi asked Neil when both of them were sitting in the cab and were going to some unknown place.
" Dont worry...Bas thodi der main pohoch jayenge, fir tumhe pata chal jayega. " Neil said while placing his hand on Aarohi's hand which was trembling. After some time, when both of them got down from the car at their place, Aarohi saw a building and she got confused.
" Kya hua tum aise kya dekh rahi ho " Neil said while looking at her face.
" Ye tum konsi jagah par mujhe lekar aaye ho? " Aarohi asked Neil but he did not answer and held her hand and suitcase and took her upstairs towards their new house. After going upstairs, Neil opened the door lock and took Aarohi inside.
" Kaisa laga tumhe humara naya ghar ? " After asking Aarohi, Neil quickly turned on the lights and hugged her tightly from behind.
" Tumne mujhe bataya kyu nahi ki hum naya ghar lene waale hai ? " Aarohi said happily and Neil's hands tightened on her waist.
" Agar main tumhe bata deta to phir mera surprise spoil ho jata. Or ek baat
Ye ghar officially humara nahi hai. " Neil said while releasing Aarohi from his grip and Aarohi turned back and gave him a confused look.
" but Tumne aisa kyu kaha ki ye flat humara hai"
" Ye flat humara hi hai bas maine ise kharida nahi hai. " Neil said this and Aarohi nodded
" But hum yaha rent se kyu reh rahe hai? " Aarohi asked to Neil.
" See Im very sorry kyuki main tumhe yaha aisi condition main lekar aa gaya. But Aarohi agar humne apni saari savings ye ghar kharidne main laga di to hum aage kya karenge or abhi to hume milkar kitna kuch karna hai. " Neil said this and held both of Aarohi's hands thinking that she would understand him because even Neil knew that Aarohi could not adjust like this.
" No problem... Waise bhi ghar Self owned ho ya fir rented wo to ghar hi hai or agar humein ek baar achhi job lag gayi to phir hum isi flat ko kharid lenge. " Aarohi said having big smile on her face. A smile that Neil had been yearning to see for years.
" Waise meri Chipkali kabse itni smart ho gayi? " Neil said and wrapped both his hands around Aarohi's waist and pulled her towards himself, after which there was no space left between them.
" Main to bachpan se smart hi hu Tumne pehli baar notice kiya. " Saying this, both of them laughed loudly and Aarohi cupped Neil's face and brought their foreheads together.
