FROM PAIN TO HEALING

PART 04

Sonakshi : All ok ?

Rohit : Haan ..... Chale ?

Sonakshi : Kahaan ?

Rohit : Surprise hai . Usse pehle mujhe tumse kuch baat karni hai . Yahi karen aur baad mein jaayein ? Chai piyogi tum?

Sonakshi nods . They move to a non disturbed area on the further end of the set location for tea. The chaiwaala had a small wooden bench on which they settle .Rohit takes Sonakshi's hand into his and looks towards the ground .

Rohit : Mujhe tumhe kuch bataana hai . Mujhe lagta hai ki maine kuch bohot galat kiya hai . After taking a little time to collect himself : Woh main aur Raima kal poori raat ek hi kamre mein , ek hi bed pe ......

Sonakshi : Rohit , mujhe kuch nahi sunna hai .

Rohit : Sonakshi , I need to tell you this ....

Sonakshi : Why ? Did i say i dont trust you ?

Rohit : Woh mujhe lagta hai ki maine mera daiyra cross kiya . I didnt even think of you . .... I was so stressed .

Sonakshi recollects how hurt she was when he had carried Raima in his arms to his bedroom , how painful it was when he repeatedly said that there was nobody more important than Raima.

Yet she pulls herself together all over again . She knew he was impulsive and could not think straight when in stress.

Rohit : Sona ....

Sonakshi : Holds his hand in hers an looks at him intensely . Rohit , ye humaara pyaar hai , koi bandish nahi. Main pyaar mein jeena chahati hoon , aur mein ye bhi chahoongi ki jisse mein pyaar karoon woh bhi pyaar mein jiye , bandish mein nahi .

Pyaar humein azaad karta hai , jakhadta nahi . Looks at him as tears well up in his eyes . Jis din humein ek doosre ko apne pyaar ke sachhai ka explanation dena pade , us din mein samjhoongi ki humaare beech ka pyaar khatam ho gaya .

Aur Daiyre kya hote hai Rohit ?

Daiyre woh hote hai jo ek insaan khud ke liye banaata hai, ek acchi zindagi paane ke liye . Jis din mujhe yaa tumhe ek doosre ko in daiyron ke baare mein yaad dilaana pade , us din hume samaj jaana chaahiye ki humaare beech mein ab kuch nahi raha.

Sir chai . .

Sonakshi takes the tea from the vendor and hands over one glass to Rohit .

They sip their tea silently trying to assimilate all that was happening . There was an uncanny silence that made Rohit very uncomfortable .He was left speechless and his eyes spoke of all the pain he was experiencing that minute . He wanted to hold her and tell her how sorry he was , but she had clearly cut him off or rather thats what he thought . He wished 26th Sepetemper 2019 never happened .

After their tea was done Sonakshi turns towards Rohit , slowly lifts her hand and caresses his cheek : Mujhe tum pe poora bharosa hai . Aur ye bharosa itne aasaani se tootne waala nahi hai . Tum samaj rahe ho naa Rohit ? Rohit smiles , still feeling a piercing feeling within .Chale ? Rohit nods.

As they reach the car .

Rohit : Maine shankar ko ghar bhej diya hai . I will drop you home . I hope thats ok . Sonakshi nods . Tumhaare mom ko bol dena thoda time lagega.
