The Decision Was Yours.....

29

Sumanika was walking towards the room when suddenly a pair of hands pulled her in a room. she was about to scream when Ranvijay placed his palm on her mouth .

when she saw who the person was she relaxed and indicated him to remove his hands.

"aap yha kya kr rahey? koi hume aise dekh liya toh" She asked in a worried tone.
(What are you doing here? What if someone saw us together?)

"aap bohot sawal krti hai. koi nhi aata yha"
(You ask a lot of questions. Nobody comes here)

"pr.."
(But...)

"shh.." he placed his finger on her lips.

he pulled her closer and hid his face in the crook of her neck, wrapping his arms around her waist.

"aap kaise soach sakti hai hume chor k jane ka" he said in his low voice.
(How can you think of leaving me)

"Aur kis hak se hum aapke saath rahey?"
(By What right should I stay with you?)

"aapko aur hume dono ko pta hai ki aap hamari kya hai" he said looking directly in her eyes
(We both know what you are for me)

"aapne jo kiya wo prem nhi tha balki upkar tha" she replied with eyes filled with tears.
(What you did was not love but kindness)

"aur hum aapke layak nhi, bhul jaiye humey" she removed his hands which was holding her, pushed him away from her and ran away from the room leaving him brokenhearted.
(I am not of your status, please forget about me)

He wanted to stop her, wanted to resolve all the problems together but the time was not right. he had lots of duty to fulfill first he cant step back.

he curled his fingers and punched the wall, his knuckles were brused but the pain he was suffering after hurting himself was nothing in comparison to the pain inside him.

he ran his finger through his hair and sighed in disappointment.

"hum aapse wada krte hai hum sab thik kr denge bs thora wakt chaiye" he muttered with his gaze fixed on the direction she left.
(I promise you I will make everything alright just give me some time)

on the other hand when Swarnika went to her room she locked the room and fell on the bed clutching the pillow in her arms. she hugged the pillow and hid her face in it crying hysterically.

"Aapko kaise samjhaye Vijay hamara milna shayad naseeb mei hi nhi hai"
(How can I convince you Vijay we are not meant to be together)

"ab aapko humse dur hi rehna hoga. aapko kya lgta hai kya ye sab hamare liye asan hai?"
(Now you need to stay away from me. What do you think is it easy for me?)

"sirf hum jante hai humpe kya beet rhi"
(Only I know what I am dealing with it)

"hume maaf kr dijyega" her whole body was shaking, tears were streaming down her cheeks.
(Please forgive me)

she wanted to scream to stop the feeling as if someone has ripped her heart out.

the pain which can't be cured by medicine, she wanted to express but nobody was there to provide her shoulder while crying.

both were suffering but only time and their wise decision could help them.

Next day....

Swarnika and Acharya ji were ready to leave. All the members were present in the court room except Ranvijay. Swarnika's eyes were searching for him, she wanted to meet him for the last time before leaving but may be it was not in her fate.

She lowered her head in disappointment when she couldn't see him.

Maharaj Prithviraj gave Acharya ji a pouch of gold coins
