Sonakshi was stunned.

"Kya kahan apney?" she asked Dev, wide eyed.

Dev sighed and took a step towards her.

"Haan theek hi suna tumney. Main pyaar karta hoon tumsey. Bohot" he told her smiling softly.

Sonakshi had imagined this situation in her head over and over again. She had spent sleepless nights thinking of Dev saying these words to her. But all that was before he left. She had known all along that he loved her. Their kiss had done away with whatever doubt she had. But she was scared that he didn't accept the truth. But here he was, accepting it, loud and clear, before her. Then why did he put her through all that pain?

"Aapko nahin pata main yeh kabse sunna chahti thi." She wiped a tear that made her realise that she was crying.

Dev wiped another tear away and smiled. But Sonakshi suddenly moved away.

"Phir aap mujhey chhorkey kyun gaye Dev?" she asked him, not letting her emotions get the best of her.

Dev became grim faced hearing those words. He took a step back.

"Tum nahin samjhogi" he said looking away.

Sonakshi's anger, which had simmered down slightly during his confession flared up again.

" Aap yeh mujhsey keh rahey hai? To the only person who understood your pain enough to try and fix it. Aap ussi ladki ko yeh keh rahey hai ki woh nahin samjhegi?"

Dev looked back at Sonakshi.

"Tum nahin samajh rahi Sonakshi. I know ki mere saath reh ke tum khush nahin rehti. Mera chaley jana hi theek tha."

Sonakshi jabbed a finger on his chest, "Mere liye kya theek hai yeh aap mujhey hi decide karney de. And for your information, main bohot hi khush thi aapke saath."

Dev gripped Sonakshi's shoulders, " Abhi khush thi tum. Par kuch saal beet jatey, phir tum samajhti ki main kitna difficult hoon. Yes you helped me, apni problems se deal karne ke liye. Par yeh problem aisi hai ki woh mere saath poori life rahegi."

He removed his hands and stepped back. " Mere mood swings toh atey hi rahengey. Kabhi kabhi me teen chaar din logo se baat karna band kar deta hoon. Bina wajah unpe chillata hoon. Tumney dekha hai yeh sab kuch. Tum daily basis pe inn sabse deal kar paati?"

Sonakshi was furious now. "Aapney toh mujhey chance hi nahin diya Dev. Aagar me deal karne ki koshish hi na karoon, toh kaise pata chalega ki main reh sakti hoon ya nahin. Aapney toh mujhsey poochey bina, baat kiye bina hi maan liya ki I'll be a failure. Itna hi bharosa tha aapko mujhpey?"

Dev looked alarmed, "Maine aisa toh nahin kahan Sonakshi!"

Sonakshi wiped the freely flowing tears once, "Par aapney aisa hi kahan Dev. Aapney thoda sa bhi bharosa nahin kiya mujhpey, humarey dosti pe, humarey pyaar pe. You just straightaway threw me out of your life!"
