Humari Kahaani (On Hold)

18| In Turmoil

Y/n without thinking anything else further, quickly booked a cab and went home. She did not say a single word to anyone and straightaway went to her room.

Everyone was concerned about her and waited impatiently for Nischay to return home from his shoot and see what had happened with Y/n all of a sudden from him.

Some hours later, he came back home and rang the doorbell. N/m opened the door and saw a tired Nischay outside who could barely even keep his eyes open.

N/m: Kya hua tujhe beta? Aaj shoot bohot zyada hectic hogaya kya tere liye?

Nish: Haa mummy, pucho mat aur. Aur upar se yeh Delhi ka traffic😩

N/m: Haa woh toh hai. Achha tu jaldi se fresh hoja. Main tera khana laga deti hoon.

Nish: Aap tension mat karo mummy. Main aapko bolna bhool gaya par main bahar se hi dinner karke aaya hoon since shoot karte karte bohot late hogaya aur mujhe kaafi bhookh bhi lag gayi thi.

N/m: Achha theek hai, koi baat nahi.

Nish (in a serious tone): Kuch hua hai kya?

N/m: Y/n.

Nish (concerned): Kyun kya hua hai usse? Uska toh aaj recording tha naa?

N/m: Haa lekin.

Nish: Lekin kya mummy?

N/m: Ghar aake woh bas kamre mein chali gayi aur humein kuch bataya bhi nahi. Dopeher ko aagayi thi aur ab tak kamre se bahar nahi aayi. Tu jaake dekh naa kya baat hai, please beta. I know tu thak gaya hai par mujhe Y/n ki bohot chinta ho rahi hai.

Nish (hugs her): Aree mummy, koi baat nahi aur aap fikar mat karo. Main jaake dekhta hoon kya baat hai. Aap sone jao abhi, bohot late hogaya hai. Main aapko baat subah bataunga, theek hai?

N/m: Achha theek hai Nonu. Good night.

Nish: Good night mummy.

N/m heads towards her room to go to sleep and Nischay, feeling something off and strange after getting to know about Y/n decided to see what is up. He went towards their shared room and was about to open the door but it was locked from inside.

Nish (in a low voice): Y/n, darwaaza kholo.

A light feeble sound came from inside which he heard of possibly someone sobbing.

Y/n: Kaun?

Nish: Nischay.

Y/n: Umm oh I see.

Nish: Haa ab darwaaza kholo jaldi.

Y/n: Kya tum aaj ke liye guest bedroom mein reh sakte ho please?

Nish (his tone gentle now): Kyun? Kya baat hai Y/n? Tum mujhe bata sakti ho.

Y/n: Main tumhe bata toh dungi Nischay par jab sahi waqt aayega, tab.

Nish: Achha theek hai, as you say. Main chalta hoon then. Good night Y/n.

Y/n: Good night Nischay and I am sorry.

Nish: It's okay aur agar kisi cheez ki zaroorat ho, toh mujhe call kardena.

Y/n: Hmm.

Nish: Apna dhyaan rakhna.

~Her Pov~

(Yeh main kya kar rahi hoon? Y/n, yeh tu kya kar rahi hai? Jo teri care karna chah raha hai, tu usse hi khud se dur kar rahi hai? What is wrong with you? Lekin main kar bhi kya sakti hoon? Agar woh phir se mere aur Nischay ke beech aagaya aur Nischay ne mujhe waapas se misunderstand karliya, toh main kya karungi?
