Akshat:- DO YOU LOVE ME?

Guddan opens her eyes and looks at him. Akshat is still holding her from elbow. They are looking at each other. Guddan is holding back her tears.

Akshat left her.
Akshat:- dekho guddan, agar yeh sab majak hai toh-

But guddan interrupts him.
Guddan:- I LOVE YOU.

Akshat looks at her shocked.
Guddan:- yeh koi majak nahi hai. Sab sach hai. Joh tumne suna aur joh mene kaha. Everything is true.

And takes a step back and turns around.

Guddan:- i know tumhe yeh sab majak lag raha hoga ya fr mera bachpana. Lekin yahi sach hai. Ab tum puchoge ki yeh sab kaise hua aur kab hua, usse pehle hi me bata du ki mujhe kab iss baat ka ehsaas hua ya fr kaise, me khud nahi janti, kyuki pyaar kabhi kisi ko bata kar nahi hota, bas ho jata hai. I also know ki tum mere liye uss way me feel nahi karte, isliye me revati ko taal rahi thi ki ab bata dungi, ab bata dungi. Lekin hakikat toh yeh thi ki tumhe bata kar me apna delusion nahi todna chahti thi, tumse NO sunne ki himmat nahi thi mujhme. Apne iss delusion me hi mujhe khushi milti thi. Sach kahu toh mujhe tumhara answer pata hai. Bas yeh tha ki tumhe sach bata kar, tumse confess karke me apna yeh khoobsurat sapna nahi todna chahti thi. Jisme tum mere sath ho, mere paas ho. Sirf dost ki tarah nahi, usse kahi badkar. Kyuki hakikat me toh yeh possible nahi hai.

She then again turn towards him and found him at loss of words.
Guddan:- you don't need to say anything akshat. I know what you feel. I know you just consider me as your friend. And trust me, mere liye utna hi kaafi hai. You don't need to feel pressurised about what I said just now. And also don't need to feel awkward. It's just that these are my feelings joh tumne sun li, nahi toh me shayad kabhi nahi batati tumhe.

Guddan is trying very hard to control her tears and fakes a smile.

Akshat:- I don't know guddan mujhe kya kehna chahiye, kya nahi. Mujhe kuch samajh nahi aa raha. Haan, tumne sahi kaha mene tumhe humesha se hi meri ek bahut acchi friend maana hai, jisse me sab share kar sakta hu. Lekin mujhe nahi pata tha ki tum mere liye-

Guddan:- it's ohky akshat. I completely understand. Aap kisi ko force nahi kar sakte waisa hi feel karne ke liye joh aap unke liye karte ho. So don't worry. I will not force you for anything.

Akshat:- I am sorry guddan. But let me be clear I DON'T LOVE YOU. I have always considered you as my best friend. Usse jyada kuch nahi. Aur iss mamle me tumse jhut bolna ya fr tumhari khushi ke liye haan bol dena, i don't think that is right.

Guddan:- it's ohky akshat. You don't need to feel sorry. It's not your fault after all.

Akshat nods.
Guddan:- bas ek request hai akshat.

Akshat:- kya??

Guddan:- aaj abhi joh bhi baat hui hai woh kisi aur ko pata nahi chalni chahiye.

Akshat:- don't worry. Meri taraf se yeh baat kisi aur ko kabhi pata nahi chalegi.

Guddan:- thank you.

Akshat smiles a little.
Akshat:- me- me chalta hu.

Guddan:- ohky. And don't think much about this.

Akshat nods and goes. While going outside he sees revati. Revati doesn't look at him. He also doesn't said anything and goes from there.

Guddan falls on her knees. Now her tears starts falling from her eyes which she was controlling since long. Revati sees her and runs towards her. Revati holds her from shoulders. Guddan starts crying.
