'Gauri's soul hasn't got peace till now, and if you don't tell me the truth, she won't leave you, think, just think is she was so tadibaaz in her life, how would have she become now? She will come back to take revenge. She will even take you in her world,' Om threatened and Shlok looked on. After sometime he started laughing. 'Seriously Omkara? Who will believe on these ghosts and all in 20th century? This shows you've lost your mental balance, go see some psychiatrist, but one thing is for sure, that night I was with Gauri,' he said.
Omkara held his collars angrily. 'So then tell what happened else life will leave you now,' he said angrily. 'OK ok, so that night I came to meet her, but she thought I have come to propose her again, so she started getting angry and even if I told her to stop she continued misbehaving, she started throwing things on me, Pinky aunty ji came hearing noise and she misunderstood that we're in an affair, so she started scolding her and was going but Gauri ran after her and slipped from the stairs, I held her hand to stop her, but she was too eager to die that she made me leave her hand,' he told him.
Flashback:
Doorbell rung and Gauri went to answer the door and on seeing Shlok, she got angry and was about to close the door but he pushed open it and moved towards her which made her move backwards. 'Shlok move back, don't you dare, I will kill you Shlok, just get lost,' she warned him moving backwards and fell on the floor. 'Uh oh Gauri you're taking me wrong, I just came to meet you,' Shlok said helping her up but she moved his hand and stood up running upstairs.
'Shlok go, just go!' she shouted running to her room with him following her, as they reached the room, she was about to close the door but he pushed open it again and she started throwing pillows on him and he came to her to stop her and held her. 'Shlok leave me!' she shouted pushing him and Pinky came there. 'Who's he? Why is he in your room?' she asked. 'He's my friend,' she said. 'No he must be your boyfriend,' she replied and went away, Gauri ran behind her and was about to fall.
He held her hand. She tried making him leave her hand and she fell from the stairs and Pinky turned back to her hearing her scream. 'Gauri!' Pinky and Shlok shouted in unison. She fell down and hurt her forehead bleeding heavily and her vision blurred as her eyes rolled sinking her deep in the sleep of death.
End of flashback.
'This happened that day, I tried saving her but couldn't but I didn't kill her,' Shlok said. 'Yeah you didn't, but she died because of you bloody bas***d. You came and ma got doubt on her, she fell running after her,' Omkara said holding his collars.
'Why did she have to leave my hand?' Shlok said. 'Oh now you're blaming her? Its all your fault, it's all because of you! When you married some other girl, then you should've stayed with her, kiun meri biwi par dorray daalnay ki koshish ki? Because of you ma is in hospital, because of you Gauri died, because of you she had to suffer, what did you get?' Omkara shouted angrily. 'Oye hello? I didn't do it, get lost right now!' Shlok said. 'OK m going, but don't worry, she is back.'
Omkara went out and sat in his car and felt her around him, he saw her sitting beside him and disappearing.
Na aaye ho, na aaoge, na phone pe bulaoge
Na shaam ki karaari chai, labbon se yun pilaoge
Na aaye ho, na aaoge, na din dhale sataoge
Na raat ki nashili bye se neendh mein jagaoge
Gaye tum gaye ho kyun, ye raat baaki hai
Gaye tum gaye ho kyun, saath baaki hai
Gaye tum gaye hum tham gaye har baat baaki hai
Gaye kyun toh jiyein kyun
(He thought of Gauri while driving the car about how she used to call her every hour, how they always had tea together)
Na aaye ho, na aaoge, na dooriyaan dhikhaoge
Na thaam ke woh josh mein yun hosh se udaoge
Na aaye ho, na aaoge, na jhooth se sunaoge
Na rooth ke sirhaane mein, remote ko chupaoge
Gaye tum gaye ho kyun, ye raat baaki hai
Gaye tum gaye ho kyun, saath baaki hai
Gaye tum gaye hum tham gaye har baat baaki hai
Gaye kyun toh jiyein kyun
(He thought of the time when they wanted to watch different channels and she always hid the remote not wanting to see something else besides her favourite show 'Aahat')
Aankh bhi tham gayi, na thaki
Raat bhi na baati, na kati
Raat bhi chedti marrti
Neendh bhi lutt gayi, chiin gayi
Raat bhi na sahi, na rahi
Raat bhi laazmi, zaalmi
Gaye tum gaye ho kyun, ye raat baaki hai
Gaye tum gaye ho kyun, saath baaki hai
Gaye tum gaye hum tham gaye har baat baaki hai
Gaye kyun toh jiyein kyun
Gaye kyun toh jiyein kyun
(He thought of all the sleepless nights he spent after she died)
Na aaye ho, na aaoge, na phone pe bulaoge
Na shaam ki karaari chai, labbon se yun churaoge
(Tears rolled down his cheeks)
He came out of his car and looked up in the sky laying on the top of car. 'Gauri, you know what? At one time we used to fight a lot, at one time we were tom and jerry, we teased each other a lot, but couldn't live without each other, you are like these stars that shine in the dark night, this dark night was my life and these stars were you, you came like a light to my dark life, and that's how darkness met light.'
He smiled looking at the sky. 'Gauri, today you're not here but in my heart. You've become a star, we will meet one day for sure. We will, I promise, I won't ever love anyone besides you, we'll meet in this life as well and the other remaining six births as well, my heart will go on, but it will be as if time is still there, my eyes craves for you, my arms are empty every night, they're jealous of my heart by which you're very near, my lips craves to kiss you, I wish you were here,' he said with a little smile. 'Whatever happened wasn't good, I and you will together take revenge. I hope you will come again.'
