Every Second❤️

Part 30

Scene starts in Guest room, Oberoi Mansion,

Priya was standing in the balcony alone teary eyed looking at the stars when suddenly Shalu knocked on the door of the room.

Shalu: Andar aa jaaun Priya?
Priya(with a smile): Haan Maa...aaiye na...ismein poochna kya?
Shalu: Beta....mujhe...umm...tujhse aaj ke baare mein baat karni thi.
Priya: Bolo na Maa....
Shalu: Beta....aaj jo kuch bhi hua....vo nahi hona chahiye tha. Aaj tere liye ek bohot special din tha lekin.....sab kharab ho gaya. Mujhe samajh nahi aa raha main tujhse kis muh se maafi maangu beta.....main....
Priya(with a smile): Don't worry Maa...main naraaz nahi hoon. Humari sagai toh already pehle ho chuki thi...yeh toh repetition tha....isiliye mujhe bura nahi laga.
Shalu(cupping Priya's face)(with smile): Mujhe bohot khushi hain ki Kartik ko tere jaisi life partner mil rahi hain beta. Kartik bohot lucky hain beta.
Priya(with a smile): Nahi Maa.....main lucky hoon ki mujhe Kartik jaisa pati milne waala hain. Vo mera bestfriend hain aur I am sure ki main uske saath hamesha khush rahungi.
Shalu smiled widely hearing this and kissed Priya's forehead.
Shalu: Bhagwaan kare ki tujhe zindagi mein vo sab kuch mile jo tujhe chahiye beta aur teri zindagi khushiyon se bharr jaaye.
Priya(with a smile)(in mind): Meri khushiyaan toh Kartik mein basti hain Maa lekin.....(looking at a paper in her palm)....kya koi aisa hain jiske liye Kartik sirf khushi nahi....balki poori zindagi hain?
Shalu: Kya soch rahi beta?
Priya: Kuch nahi Maa...bas neend aa rahi thi. Umm..Kartik ko hosh aaya?
Shalu: Haan...aa gaya hain....tu chinta mat kar...so jaa.
Priya(with a slight smile): Jii....aap bhi so jaaiye.....good night.
Shalu: Good night beta.....
Shalu left the room and Priya looked teary eyed at the chit in her hand.

The Chit~
             
                 I love you Kartik
                                       ~Rhea
The Chit ends

Scene shifts to the terrace,
Ayush came up to the terrace because he was not feeling sleepy at all when his eyes fell on a figure sitting at a corner of the terrace.

Ayush: Kaun hain waha?
There was no response from the person.
Ayush: Sameer....tu hain kya?
Ayush walked towards the figure only to get  surprised seeing the person sitting there in an unexpected condition.

Ayush: Kartik....tu yaha kya kar raha hain aadhi raat ko?
Kartik looked at Ayush with his teary red eyes which were a testament to his constant crying session.

Kartik wiped his tears and then stood up composing himself.
Kartik: Mujhe vo neend nahi aa rahi thi...bas isiliye upar aa gaya...(fake smile)...aur kuch nahi.
Ayush: Kya hua hain?
Kartik(fake smile): Kk..kuch nahi.....mujhe kya hoga?
Ayush: Kartik.....tujhe itne saalon mein kisi ne bataya nahi ki tujhe jhooth bolna nahi aata?
Kartik's averted his gaze.
Ayush: Kya hua hain beta? Tu bata sakta hain mujhe. I promise main kisi se nahi kahunga yeh baat.
Kartik: Cement promise?
Ayush: Cement promise....kisi se nahi kahunga. Bata....
Kartik: Sir....harr ladka yeh chahta hain ki use life partner ke roop mein ek acchi dost mile aur meri toh bestfriend hi meri life partner bann ne jaa rahi hain. Par....par sir....main.....mujhe pata nahi kyun aisa lag raha hain jaise ki....Priya se shaadi karke main kisi ko dhokha de raha hoon. Jab ki aisa kuch bhi nahi..meri life mein aisa koi insaan nahi hain.
Ayush(sighing): Aise same situation mein main bhi ek baar phas gaya tha beta. Shalu se shaadi hone se pehle.....meri bhi ek dost ke saath meri sagai hui thi aur main use hi apni life partner banane bhi waala tha lekin......jab main Shalu se mila tab mujhe life mein pehli baar saccha pyaar hua aur iss baat ka realization mujhe bohot time beet jaane ke baad hua. I wish ki pehle hi ho jaata par......(sighing).....tere saath bhi yahi ho raha hain beta. Teri life mein aisa koi special insaan zaroor hain jisse tu bohot pyaar karta hain lekin.....tujhe bas uss baat ka ehsaas nahi hain.
Kartik(in mind): Kya mujhe sach mein Rhea se......
