That night as Rohit drove back in the cab to Malabar hill , he felt empty.
It was almost like he did not have a soul anymore . . something inside him felt hollow. How did this happen to them ? He kept thinking. There is so much love between them, yet they were not together .
That kiss had filled him with so much warmth , yet there was a chill running down his body .
Just then the car jerked . .
Rohit : Sambaal ke . .
In that split of the moment something inside him stirred . He thought of the moment Sonakshi moved away from him in the car . .
The mother had asked him to watch her closely if he wanted answers . That was the only moment in all those days that she withdrew from him . . What exactly made her do it ?
Meanwhile Sonakshi had gotten home .It was 2:00 am . She slowly opened the door and stepped into her bedroom. Everyone was asleep . She always had a house key .
She changed but had not showered . She had washed her feet but not her face. She wanted to retain the feel of Rohit's kiss on her face and on her body for as long as possible . She opened her bag and pulled out the red hoodie , looked at it lovingly , wore it around her and lied down on the bed.
Everything that had happened over the last few days played in front of her eyes like a movie screening , as tears rolled out continuously through her eyes . She was so tired emotionally trying to convince Rohit that they cannot be together , that it had taken a toll on her well being itself. After all in that process she was trying ti convince herself too. She tucked really hard at the red hoodie saying . . I love you Rohit .. humesha . . . and finally fell asleep crying .
Rohit had just reached home . He showered and changed into his nightwear .
He moved on to his bed trying to sleep . As he tossed and turned in bed, he kept wondering why Sonakshi had behaved in that particular way . . what had happened differently . .
Just then Veena enters the room . .
Rohit : mom . .
Veena : Kya hua . . Sonakshi aaayi nahi ?
Rohit : Hum kal baat karte hai . . Mujhe rest karna hai . .
Veena : Par Rohit . .
Rohit gives her an annoyed look . . Mom please . . kal
As Veena leaves the room , Rohit gets up and opens his bag and pulls out a duppata of Sonakshi's which he had picked out from her bag without her knowledge . He then lies on the bed thinking about the entire months events and everything that the mother had told him as tears well up in his eyes . He wraps the dupaaata over him instead of the bedsheet , takes in all of her the frangance and tries to sleep. Yet the thought of Sonakshi's behaviour kept disturbing him .
As he thought even more . . He just realised that the only thing that had happened differently that moment was the phone call . His mom had called him . .
He just sits up all startled . . finding it impossible to believe.
Could it really be possible . . ?? he thought . . . . How could he not figure this out all along he thought . . HOW?
The way the prenup had unfolded in front of him inspite of his mom knowing the whole truth . . The way she had treated Sonakshi that day . . The way she had accused her . . The way she had tried to make him believe that's he had lied and that she had married him for money . .
His eyes were slowly beginning to fill with anger . .
Oh Sonakshi . . he thought . . Bol nahi sakti thi na mujhe . . Itnaa paraaya hoon kya main ?
The mother was right . Many a times a lot of our realisations lie in the events of the past . . He thought . How had he overlooked the way his entire family had stood against her . . How had he ?
Just because she was so loving and caring , she would never ever say anything against his mom . After all he had always told her that his mom was the first most important women in his life and she only next . He had always told her to keep her happy no matter what and she had done it selflessly . Not once had she demanded or asked for her importance above his mom.
And yet the way she was treated . . He sighed . . Sona . . Bol hi toh sakti thi naa mujhe . .
He realised that she was really left all alone in his house , not only by his family but also by the man for whom she had left everything else . . just to be his . He moved his hands on his head in disgust , frustration and anger . How was she so strong ? . . that she just let go of him just for the sake of his mother . . Something his mother never did even for his own happiness.
As he sat there on his bed . . His whole life was staring at him with an array of realisations falling all over . .
His whole family that he lived for all his life were not able to shower love on that one person he had truly loved . His mind started to question the authenticity of every relationship he had lived . .
The way Aakash chachu had lied with respect to the property matter , the way Yk and pooji treated her inspite of she having done so much for them , the way Ajit had used her . . yet she stood along for the one man she loved .
But she had eventually collapsed one day . . . . and it was that day . . that one day when the man she truly loved withdrew his emotional support and love for her.
That night as Rohit tried to sleep he felt really worthless first as a husband and next as a human .
As tears rolled down his eyes continuously he remembered their last moments of love . . The moments in which she never truly wanted to let go of him . . . yet she did for his sake .
He wondered what kind of love and heart would it take for a person to just let go of something so precious to them only for the sake of the other person .
As he went to bed that night . . He had wiped his tears promising himself to never cry again nor let her cry .
Pandraaa din sona . .
Sirf pandraa din . . and I promise you.. hum saath honge .
Uske baad ek bhi aaansu nahi aaane dunga mein tumhaari aankhon main sona . I promise . Bas . . ye pandraa din kaise bhi sambaal lena apne aap ko . . Please . Mere liye .
That night she had slept with his warmth and a realisation of having lost him forever . . or rather of having given him away forever . .
While on the other side he had slept with the grit and promise that he was going to win her back for life.
