"seene mein agar tu dard hai
na koi dawa chahiye"

ISHAN

It was 4pm and both of us were seated on the flight. The flight was supposed to take off at 4:10pm. Leaving back everyone had been quite an affair, most of the relatives were shedding tears along with Janhavi. Veer has also come to see us off and hugged Janhavi, way too tighter than needed.

Janhavi was looking at her phone, and I was looking at Janhavi. When she suddenly looked up and saw me gaping at her, I was feeling pretty embarrassed.

She looked away, without any reaction. For a matter of fact, we haven't talked after that divorce conversation and she was somehow behaving distant to me. Perhaps preparing herself to get separated from me.

The plane took off and we were given seat belt instructions but the flight attendants. Some of them even came for a picture with me to which I agreed. But Janhavi remained unbothered to all of this, looking out of the window.

"You're okay?", I asked her to make sure.

She nodded, without even looking at me.

"Janhavi I had something important to talk about."

Finally she looked at me and gestured to continue talking.

"What would you do after our divorce?" I asked the question that had been poking me for hours.

"I don't know... Maybe come back to Bihar?", she said unsurely.

"And?"

"We'll see"

"Your father will be okay with your decision? You didn't inform any of your family members that we are getting separated", I said being worried at her vagueness.

"Neither have you", she stated simply. "Oh yes you're right, Papa won't like a divorced girl in his house to taint his reputation.", she said smiling.

"So you won't inform him at all?", I asked.

"Maybe I'll first find a job in a school or somewhere, then I'll inform him after I've settled down a bit"

"See Janhavi you don't need a job. I can fulfill all your needs", I said not wanting her to struggle.

"I'm not that uneducated that ki jisse hamara koi vaasta nahi hain unse madad leni pade", she said being offended.

"I didn't mean that at all! I was just...", I fell silent unable to muster a proper reply. She said that usse mera koi vaasta nahi? All the beautiful moments we shared were just nothing?

Suddenly a very painful thought of Janhavi marrying Veer hit me. Oh my God! Please don't let that happen.

"Or you can marry Veer and settle with him?",these words slept out of my mouth.

She looked at me with amusement at first, and then it changed to a look of betrayal. Her eyes started glistening and before I could say anything, she looked away, denying to make an eye contact with me.

"I.. I'm sorry", I whispered but it had no effect on her.

Silence fell upon us. She leaned on the seat and tugged herself into a sheet. She closed her eyes. At first I thought that she had fell asleep after a while but when I looked closely she was still breathing at her usual rate. When she falls asleep, her breathing rate slows down.

She was calm or atleast pretending to be, but I was anything but calm. Tomorrow would be the last day with her. Why do the people I love leave me all alone? Janhavi had promised to be by my side forever. Is this forever?
