Sanjana: how did this happened Kabir? where was he going in such a late night!
Kabir: he was so happy that he was coming to you
Sanjana: to me! But why
Kabir: to show you those papers which were actually marriage certificate when you signed the divorce papers I cleverly placed those papers down to them with a carbon paper inside so that you signed both the papers at the same time and that was the reason that divorce proceedings were not even discussed because papers never reached court, that was the reason that he was happy and thought to give you that news on his own and resulted in this
Sanjana who was already shattered from inside now she was looking like someone has suck all her life and she was looking like a lifeless statue who was just walking towards his room when she reached there she saw that Aliya was there, she was walking when Aliya said

Aliya: He is not my brother Sanjana he is not my brother, he is your Virat, your husband Virat my brother wasn't so weak that he will break down emotionally so easily that he will wish not to live any more I am sure that he tried to commit suicide and just because of you, you know doctors have declared that...Aliya couldn't speak more she just went from there and started sobbing hard leaning herself on the wall here the blame game by other family members started again but ignoring all that Sanjana enters in the room where Virat was... she sat beside him and touched his face with the feeling which was neither showing emotion nor pain looking as a stone she looked at his face which was having so much wounds she was looking at him...

"..................finally, she is here... finally you are here, you can't even imagine how I am feeling now when you held my hand.... when you touched my face... I know you forgave me, your arrival is its proof and now you have become so lifeless looking at me like this, but what can I do this is my faith... I have given you much pain this nothing in front of it, don't do this looking at me like this you are snatching my right to death also... here I am I have got everything in my life you are here you held my hand which is showing extreme love for me, you are caring my head and my face with one hand believe me I can stand up now here at this moment itself, I can jump and take you in my embrace... till you don't start to cry in happy tears but I will not... because I have given you the amount of pain that I don't want you to cry even for a happy reason... I can open my eyes but I will not, as nothing is there in getting up now as the love which was lost, I am looking it today in everyone's eyes I don't want it to get changed now you will think that I am getting selfish so think that, because this time I have got something precious, one girl is there who is crying since last night looking her brother... like this Granny is there who has sensed all the things already one friend is there who is crying like all his life is going far from him, now as he has no reason to live now as he is going to lose his own brother, one girl is there who is just thinking that what will happen if I got up and one girl is there who is seated just with me holding my hand in hers who is thinking about the answer that she have to give to my family after sometime who is caring for me, like she use to do earlier, I can wake up for this reason but no I will not as I deserve this, I don't want to lose this love again so it's better to close my eyes like this only but don't worry I will come again come again to play in those lanes who are the witness of my childhood I will come again to play in that lap again which is caring for me and getting restless with the thought of leaving me I will come again to take care of my sister and family I have to come again I hope I get a family like this when I will come back in my next birth after all I have to do a fresh start I have to fall in love with some other Sanjana again, I have to come back and I will come back but now time is up........."

The heartbeat indicator shows a straight line and doctors covers him with white sheet, Sanjana leaves his hand and went outside the room, she looks at Aliya and says which sounds like she has poured a chilled water over everyone she said, "ALIYA DON'T DISTURB HIM HE IS SLEEPING" she said it with a smile which shows that she knew this will be the only thing which will happen, she left from there being that lifeless statue and everyone was looking at her while she was going. When she leaves Doctors take out his body and take it to the morgue room before completing few formalities other side Sanjana is going out of hospital leaving those weeps and crying sounds behind who doesn't even allowed her to stop and mourn over the person on whose belief she got ready to tolerate every humiliation, she looks at back for once and saw Virat standing folding his hands to his chest and leaning himself on the wall he gestures her bye with a wide smile and she passes off a fade smile looking at that marriage certificate.
