Please say Bihaan.... What is hurting you?? We will sort it out together." I requested.
"You and me can never become We" said he.
"Why?" I asked.
"Have you ever seen yourself?? A stammering girl can never suit Bihaan Pandey.... The Great Bihaan Pandey" said he glaring at me.
"Just repeat what you said looking into my eyes" said I shooting his red eyes with my questioning ones.
He turned his back to me.
"You can't I know" I smirked.
"Just stay away" said he yet not looking at me.
Something hard rushed with a furious noise hitting me on my waist. I was rolling hard when something stopped me.... A hit on my head. "Thapppkkkiiiii" I heard a voice. But the sharp pain in my head wasn't letting me to open my eyes. I rolled my fingers feeling something wet, smooth dropping of my head. Red, sticky, smooth..... Blood. "Thapki" someone ran near me. Face blurred and the pain isn't letting me to clear the vision. "You... You will be fine...." someone's grip cupped me. "Thapki" it's... Bihaan... My Bihaan. "I took too long to recognize you Bihaan" I smirked and he embrace my breaking body more.
"Thapki... I will never let anything happen to you..." I smiled hearing my Bihaan's concern for me. The strong grip around me became tighter and my blooded head got hidden in his chest. His fastened heart was beating for me...only me. "I know Bihaan" I said carving my lips feeling safe in his arms. "I love you Bihaan" I managed to moan placing my shivering hands on his cheeks. My touch made his cheeks, red... Blooded red. And he continuously nodding a 'no'.... I can't hear him what's he uttering... But I can feel his tears, I can feel his embrace...... So safe, so lovable.
.

Blurry.... Dizzy.....
.

"No Thapki... Open your eyes" I felt a shake on my cheeks.
.
.
"I love you Bi... Bi....Bihaan"

A soft surface... Ahhh my head.... Aching hard.Something... Something soft.... On my head... After rolling my fingers I found it was Ban...ban...bandages...
Something on the top... rotating...
Blue walls, monitors...
Smell of hard medicines...
Drips hurting my hand.
And lastly a soft touch.
Wait.
"Thank God you are awake" I heard someone rolling some hard equipment on my chest. I looked at her. "It's about more than a day you are here, unconscious." she added smiling at me. "Doctors said you might slip to coma if you aren't awake till tonight." she continued pumping in to a tight grip around my arm.
"And what about him?" she asked looking to my other arm. "He never left you for even a single second. Just sitting here holding your hands and begging you to get awake" said she. My vision was finally clear and I found Bihaan sleeping holding my hand.
"Excuse me....." she said waking him up. I shushed her as fast as I could. "Okay as you wish... I'll be back with the doctor" said she leaving the room.
"Bihaan" I uttered slightly removing my hands off his hold. His hair was messy, his beards were grown up slightly. I caressed his cheek....my Bihaan... worried for me. He opened his eyes suddenly."Thapki" I saw his worries when he caressed my head. "Thapki... Are... You.. Are you fine?" asked he with his teary eyes. I was managing myself to sit and he helped me holding my hand. "I'm fine Bihaan" I uttered when suddenly I founded his arms around me and he sobbing on my shoulder. "I can't see you like this..." I heard on my shoulder. "I'm sorry Thapki" said he crying on my shoulder. Oh Bihaan. "Sorry for?" I asked. "For existing in your life... For making you face everyday like a bad dream. For everything...Everything..." his crying voice cracked my heart. "Bihaan..." Sighed my heart. "Don't say that Bihaan" said I caressing his arms. "Thapki... You are very nice... You will never understand" said he wiping my tears and cupping up my face. "I... I can't... I can't afford to lose you" said he. "Don't you trust me?" I asked wiping his tears. "More than me Thapki". "Then say about you Bihaan... Say it.. Please" I requested caressing his cheeks. "Thapki..." he said with his head bent. His sobs pierced in my heart. "Yes Bihaan...." said I.
"Just stay away from me.... I am....."
"You are??"
"So Miss Thapki... How are you feeling now?" asked the doctor interrupting in between entering in the room.

That day was really bad. Bihaan was about to say about himself but.... Well I was much recovered till I again met him. This time with Dhruv. They came to my house."So madam... How you met with the accident!!" asked Dhruv sitting in front of me. Bihaan was standing behind him. "Sit Bihaan..." said Maa. "I'll be back with some refreshments" she added and left.
"I'm better now...and finally I got relief from that irritating bandages." I sighed and Dhruv laughed. I saw Bihaan still standing behind him listening us and smiling on his own. Okay I'm leaving actually I have some important work today" said Dhruv. Bihaan nodded and I too smiled waving him. "By the way I told you to stay away with Bihaan right?" said warning me again and left. Bihaan heard and sighed sadly. I observed.
I and Bihaan were on terrace now... Actually I wanted to go when I saw my phone... Papa was calling. So I took a side from Bihaan to talk to him. After making him sure about my wellness, the call hung up. Suddenly my glance fell on Bihaan who was looking at the sky. The sky was dark... No stars... No moon. He might was missing moon... It wasn't with him today to listen him... To share his pain. He tightened him fist more on the railing. I stepped near him. "Bihaan..." said I. "Hmm" he listened me at one voice before I could place my hands on his shoulder.
"What are you doing here!?" I asked.
"Nothing.... Just..."
"Say it"
"What?"
"That you are searching for moon."
"What nonsense"
"Nonsense...." I groaned. "Nonsense is you... No I'm sorry... Not you.... Nonsense is me..." I was louder. "I'm a nonsense who isn't even capable to help my friend"
"What help...?... I don't need anyone"
"But I need you"
"I'm telling you it's not possible"
"Why??"
Silence
But today I can't bear it. "Why are you so mysterious?" I groaned pushing his hands towards me. "Who the hell asked you to solve my mystery?" he said removing his hand. "Okay tell me... What's that wound on your neck?" I asked folding my hands. "I got slipped on stairs" he uttered ignoring my eyes. "How is your wrist wounded?" I continued lifting my eyebrows. "During exercise" said he yet not looking at me. "Why you fainted that day?" I added. "I... I don't remember" he uttered. "How you got trapped inside that car?" I asked coming close to him. "I was drunk" he declared, still not looking at me. "Oh really?!! And what about the drugs that doctor was talking about?" I groaned. "He was lying" he stated. "You are lying man" I yelled loudly. "No I'm not" he turned his back to me. "Yes you are" I groaned standing in front of him.
I found him in tears.... "What do you want to listen??" he said sitting on his knees. "I'm... I'm a sin did you understand that..." he uttered while sobbing. I sat before him, speechless. He hugged me like a scared kid. "I lost everything... Everything Thapki..." he sobbed on my shoulder. "I can't loose you" he added gripping me more. "How can I love you... When I know I'm not made for it" he sobbed hiding his eyes on my shoulder. I was silently caressing his back to console him. "You know... Even... Even the sleep of mine is made of glass...and... And my it dreams are of stone.." cried he breaking the hug. "Broken pieces of these breaths are scattered in my chest.." he groaned beating his chest. My cheeks were wet... He wasn't drunk today... He wasn't even drugged today... He was just him... Crying his heart out. "And the ocean is drying inside my eyes.." said he with his head bent down. "I'm a sin... Just leave me..." he hissed crying more. "My days are dark, and the nights, darker.." his voice cracked and my heart too.
"Bihaan..." I hugged him tighter this time. "No Bihaan... I'm here to give you love" said I caressing his hair. "You are just scared to lose your love.. But trust me... I'll always be with you" said I embracing him more. I can just hear him sniveling on my shoulder... He was all silent. "I loosed" said he breaking the hug. "No you are not... I'm with you" I said and he looked at me with teary eyes. "We will be together Bihaan..." I stated wiping his tears. "Do you trust me?" I asked and he nodded hugging me again. "Everything will be fine...."
