Truly, Madly, Deeply- a Devakshi story.

Home. A place? A person?

----cont from last chapter

Sona: " But I have already made that choice. I made the choice when I moved into your home, just because you asked me to come. No questions asked. Just that you called out to me once, and I made that choice. I want to say this so that nothing is unsaid between us anymore . Dev, I choose you. Out of all the people in this world, whether related to me by blood or not, you, Dev Dixit is the only one with whom I want to spend my life with. I choose to be with you over every other relationship in my life."

Dev was silent for a long time. He was moved by how she had simply acknowledged without any hesitation. But he doubted if things would be as simple as she thought.

Sona: " Dev? " she noted his silence and the fact that he seemed to be wrestling with some dilemma. She said gently, her hand upon his arm " Dev, it's okay if you don't have a reply just now. I can wait for you . We both cannot be at the same place in our decision at the same time. And I can wait for you to catch up."

Dev: ""Humne jo ki thi mohabbat, aaj bhi hai

Teri zulfo ke saaye ki chahat aaj bhi hai

Raat kat ti hai aaj bhi khayalo me tere 

Deewano si woh meri halat aaj bhi hai

Kisi aur ke tasawwur ko uthati nai 

Beimaan aankho me thodi si sharafat aaj bhi hai

Chah ke ek baar, chahe fir chod dena tu

Dil tod tujhe jaane ki ijaazat, aaj bhi hai....."

Sach Sonakshi. Koi aur mera dil tod hi nahin sakta par yeh bhi sach hai ki koi aur mera dil jod bhi nahi sakta. Sirf tum."

Sona : " Par main ab jaaoongi hi nahi, aap lakh ijaazat dein. Promise nahi bolungi jaise hum pehle bolti thi. Kyunki promise woh log kehte hain jinhe dusron ko aur apnon ko yakeen dilane ki zaroorat parti hai."

Dev: " Par itna kaafi nahi hai Sonakshi, tumhare Baba, meri Maa woh isko accept nahi kar payenge, ho sakta hai kabhi na accept kar payein. In saalon mein ye nafrat sirf mazboot hi hui hain."

Aaj main agar tumse ye nahi keh paa raha ki main Maa ko chhod kar tumhare saath rahunga, toh who sach nahi hai. Aur agar Maa ke saamne ye sawl aayega toh wah yehi kahegi ya usko chuno ya tumhe. Main kya karoon?"

Sona: " Mujhe lagta hai pehle hum apni relationship par concentrate karein. Apne ko mazboot banaye. Phir uske baad unke saamne jaayenge. Aur phir bhi woh nahi accept karenge toh wait karenge. Phir se try karenge. Aur Dev main aapka intezar karoongi. "

Dev : " Hamare haalaat change nahi hue hain Sonakshi. Hamare parents abhi bhi apni ranjish nahi bhul sake hain. Agar phir se hamare saamne choice ki situation aa gayi? "

Then he caught sight of the time, " Pehle chalo Soha ko pick up karte hain, phir ghar pe baat continue karenge."

Sona" Late ho gaya hai, usko sone do Maa ke paas."
