Love's Journey : Mr. and Mrs. Roy Choudhary

vo sab jhooth tha nahi karta mein tumse nafrat nahi ho tum meri dushman

Through the large window sunrays entered the room which caused Batuk to stir awake, Aashritha was very tired she was still sleeping but she now climbed the bed and was sleeping next to Batuk with safe distance between them.

Batuk opened his eyes confused by the sunrays because as long as he could remember there was no window in his room. Wait! How did he even reach his home none of his friends knew where he lived.

Batuk looked at the other side of the bed and horror struck him.

"Ahh!" screamed Batuk 

Aashritha stirred awake at his sudden scream.

"Apani ekhane ki korachena?" he said breathing very fastly (Tum yaha kya kar rahi ho?)

"Er mane ki?" said Aashritha annoyed half asleep then it struck her that she was asleep with Batuk (Iska kya matlab)

"Tum? Main? yaha saath mein? Nahi ye nahi ho sakta! nahi!" Batuk was mumbling this to himself.

'Nahi aashi ye deserve nahi karti mein uske saath aisa kaise kar sakta hu nahi!' Batuk was thinking

"Aapko pata bhi aapne kal kya kiya hai?" said Aashritha in a shaky voice.

"K-kya kiya?" 

"Aapko pata hai ki mujhe aap par kitna bharosa tha, Anirudh dada ko kitna vishwas tha?! aapne mere vishwaas ko chakna choor kar diya Batuk!" said Aashritha tears freely slowing.

Batuk on the other hand went in shock he never wanted corrupt her innocence like someone did his. He loved her and he broke her now he would never forgive himself for this.

"Aap sharab pi rahe the chalo usse phir bhi chod sakte hai par aap drugs? Chii! sharam nahi aayi aapko? or vo aapke so called friends? Kehne ko to medical student hai to nahi pata drugs kya hote hai or kya kar sakte hai? kisiki parwaaah hai aapko?!" Aashritha yelled the last part

Batuk let out a breathe he didn't know he was holding and in a shaky voice asked "To humare beech kuch nahi hua na?" 

This broke Aashritha and she thought 'kya malini sahi thi? nahi aisa nahi ho sakta'

"To ab ye bhi karte hai aap sirf nashe kam pad gaye the kya jo aap ladkio ke saath-" she was interrupted by Batuk

"Don't you dare complete that sentence!" this time Batuk also yelled. "Tum nahi jaanti ho ki do saal maine kya kuch nahi jhela hai, tum to London mein apni behen ke saath ayassiyan kar rahi thi na tumhe ek pal ke liye bhi yaad aaya ki koi hai jisse tum chod kar aayi ho waha tulsipur or Krishnanagar ki aag ke beech mein jalne ke liye? Or vo bhi us insaan ko jisne tumhe jalne se bachaya? what an irony" 

This was the only way like his eldest brother Anirudh, Batuk could not keep control on his anger and his speech while anger so he would let out all his frustration and maybe that will lead to a new beginning of them.

"Bahut kuch hai aapke dil mein mere liye? Bohot nafrat hai na? To boliye, sab boliye mein bhi sunu ki Is Batuk or mere Batuk mein kitna difference hai? Kya ye batuk Aashritha se utni hi nafrat karta hai jitna Mera Batuk mujhse pyaar karta hai?" Aashritha said tears flowing but nor once did her voice shaked.

"Yahi to nahi kar sakta main" said Batuk slowly his eyes filled with tears and that made Aashritha's heart cry but she couldn't do anything.

"Aap nahi bata sakte to mein bataungi mere Batuk or Is Batuk mein kya fark hai" said Aashritha looking into his eyes "Mere Batuk ne meri jaan bachane ke liye apni jindagi kharaab kar li par fir bhi kabhi mujhe ye mehsoos nahi hone diya ki mein kisi or ghar mein hu, kaka sasurji jo mujhe pasand nahi karte the unhe impress karne ke tarike bataye, vo jo jaan boojh ke mere kamre ki choukhat pe gir te taaki mein hasu, Vo jo vidyalaye mein un ladko se maar peet karte jo mere saath batameeji karte ye dekhe bina ki vo unse umra mein kitne bade hai, Vo jinhone meri maddad uss samay ki jab shayad koi ladka mere paas bhi na aata"

Aashritha saw Batuk closing his eyes as recalling every memory she said and she continued.

"Or ye Batuk vo hai jo meri shakal nahi dekhna chahte, mujhse nafrat karte hai, Mere haaton se amrit nhi na piye sondesh to door ki baad hai, Jinhe koi farak nahi padega agar mein mar jayu, vo jinhone apne pariwaar walo ke vishwaas ko tod diya, Vo bhi Dushmani ki vajah se" she said in determined voice. 

Batuk's tears were now flowing on his cheeks as he sobbed loudly  shooking his head constantly.

"Mein Dushman hu na aapki? Nafrat ka rishta bacha hai sirf ab hum dono ke beech? To theek hai aaj mein ye rishta bhi todti hu Batuk, Aapko janamdin ka tofha nahi mila na ab tak meri taraf se, koi baat nahi main aapko ek aisa tofha dungi jisse shayad aapki jindagi ki aadhi problems khatam ho jayegi humesha-humesha ke liye" said Aashritha with a sad smile on her face on the bedside drawer she found a parchment and pen and she wrote something in it and with the sweetest smile she could muster up she gave it to Batuk.

"Jab pichli baar aapne meri jaan bachai thi na chahte hue tab aapko Anirudh dada ke sacrifices ki chinta thi na koi baat nahi apni didi par bohot bharosa hai Aashritha ko vo mere ehsaan bhi chuka hi degi, Aapne apna bachpan jo mere liye barbaad kiya uske liye Maafi chahungi" she said and left the room giving one last smile to Batuk.

"Aashritha Ruko!!"

Aashritha never wanted it her motive was to simply make Batuk remember their past, so that the so called hate he had for her would vanish but instead it reminded her how her world changed how he is living and what he probably wants, but now she lost her reason to live.

Amidst these thought Aashritha failed to notice he Motorbike coming towards her direction in high speed.

Aashritha suddenly felt sharp pain in her head and her eyes told her to close them they were tired, she was tired the last thing she heard was a lot of noise and a painful scream probably calling her but she could decipher her brain and heart demanded rest.

"A-Aashi majaak mat karo bilkul nahi, vo sab jhooth tha nahi karta mein tumse nafrat nahi ho tum meri dushman" said Batuk sobbing as he kept her head on his lap.

The panicked Batuk kept requesting Aashritha to open her eyes as she went in the operation theatre. Batuk was broken into pieces he never wanted this he just wanted Aashritha to simply hate him so that her stubborn nature wouldn't be the cause of her death even if it meant that he had to die every single moment.

"Aashi! Daya kore phire asuna ami arae eti korbe na" Batuk cried (Aashi wapas aajao main aisa dubaara nahi karunga) 

The doctor came out of the operation theatre Batuk ran to him and asked "Come sta lei ora?"(How is she now?)

Doctor shook his head and said "Non possiamo dire nulla adesso"(We can't say anything right now)

"Dottore, per favore, salvala, per favore" said Batuk (Doctor please save her, please)

The doctor just patted his shoulder.
