She ran to him and hugged him tightly.
He held her back and tightening his grip as well asked with concern
"Kya hua Naina? Ro kyun rahi ho? Tum... tumhari Taiji ne phir tumhe maara kya? Bolo na...Jaan, mat ro please...tum..tumhe pata hain na ki I can't see you like this...Shh..."
Clinging on to him still, she said
"Sameer....main....meri...shaadi....woh.. rishtaa...Roka...do din baad..."
And hearing those words, everything within him, the broken pieces he had gathered, fell apart and his grip around her loosened. Sensing this, she immediately broke the hug and cupped his face. The broken look on his face made her heart wrench. She hugged him back and held him very tightly in her embrace, because she knew his past had come right infront of him, leaving him numb.
***************************************
She had clung on to him tightly and that was what maybe helped him gain some control over his shattered self. He broke the hug and looked at her. Cupping her face, he kissed her forehead and entire face in a haste. He feared that she would just disappear, leaving him alone like all others and he would be left behind, all broken and shattered, with no hope or energy to live.
She understood why he was doing what he was and that's why she let him. In their relationship of 3 years, they had just embraced each other and nothing further, well aware of their boundaries.
He pulled her more close and pressed his lips against her forehead again and again. This was the sanctity of their relationship. Even in such a moment, he had not crossed his boundaries and kissed her lips and this was what made her respect him even more.
When she had met him for the first time, she had met a man who had lost his everything in his life and was in extreme pain. Yet, even in that pain, his sympathy, his humanity, hadn't died. It took a long time for them to become Samaina by hearts, from just Sameer and Naina.
She was the balm to his deep wounds. She was the comfort and warmth his cold and lifeless body needed. All he needed was her by his side, nothing more, nothing less.
"Sameer.." she softly whispered his name.
He stopped kissing her and looked deeply into her eyes.
People say face is the index of mind. Similarly, I believe, eyes are the index of the heart.
Silence is the language of love, which conveys what a thousand words can't, even if put in any manner.
Their eyes spoke a lot and Naina could understand everything they said, but she now knew, at this moment, words were necessary. Taking his hand in hers she said
"Sameer, aaj tak hum ek doosre ke jazbaat, ek doosre ki aankhon se bhaapte aur samajhte hue aaye hain. Aaj inko shabdon mein bayan karna zaroori hain. Chalte chalte baat karte hain. Aaj sab kuch, shabdon ke zariye bayan kar dete hain"
He nodded and said
"Tum sahi keh rahi ho. Aaj lafzon dwaara bayan karna bahut hi aavashyak hain! Chalo...par mera haath mat chodna"
"Haath chodne ke liye nahi pakda hain Sameer aur yeh baat mujhe ab samaj aayi! Agar mere iss haath se tumhara haath choot gaya na, toh woh din iss Naina ke astitva ka aakhri din hoga!"
Overwhelmed by her response,he just held her hand tighter and they continued walking.
***************************************
Dheemi chalti hawayein
Dhalti shaam ka aakhri peher
Andhera aasman mein phail raha tha
Aasmaan ka deepak bujh raha tha
Par bujha hua aakash ka deepak
Aur aasman mein phailta andhera
Nahi they yeh chinn sankat ke
Pyaar se bandhe aatmaon ke liye
Nahi they yeh aakhri savere ka ishaara
They walked in silence for sometime, trying to gather themselves to put forward everything they had in their hearts. The darkening sky and utter silence weren't dangerous or something negative. They were like setting the proper environment for the two souls, deeply in love with each other, to pour out everything.
Believe me when I say this, when it's dark all around, you are more better at pouring out your true feelings. In broad light, half of the courage you need to muster to pour out what you feel, goes in all your efforts to maintain your confidence and not appear conscious.
***************************************
Naina: Tumhe pata hain ki jab mujhe rishtey ke baare mein pata laga, main bahut royi. Toot gayi thi main...Phir yeh khayal aaya ki main Tauji aur Taiji ke khilaaf nahi jaa sakti, isliye main... hum...are.. humare rishtey ko...tod...
He visibly flinched when he heard this and his hold on her hand tightened. He closed his eyes, trying to control the rage seeping in.
Naina gulped but continued
Naina: Par bas iss khayal se ki tum mujhse door...main..It sent shivers down my spine...aisa laga ki kisine achanak se meri saas cheen li ho! Badi mushkil se khud ko sameta aur yahan aa gai... shaanti dhoond rahi thi...man mein jo saikdon sawaal they, unke jawaab dhoond rahi thi!
She stopped walking when she sensed him not looking at her or responding and one look at him she knew, the demons of past which he had conquered had returned and he was unsuccessful in controlling his hurt and rage. He hadn't heard even a single word she had uttered after she had told him about her decision to leave him.
Opening his eyes and looking deep into her eyes, with his blood red eyes he said,
"Naina, kya tum bhi mujhe chodke chali jaogi? Kya humara pyaar itna kamzor hain? ( Abruptly freeing his hand from hers and in a choked voice) Tumne vada kiya tha!! Tumhare liye main kuch nahi tha kya? Humara pyaar koi mazaak hain jo tum.... humara rishta...yeh .. kaise tod sakti ho...tumhara parivaar jo tumhe apna maanta bhi nahi, unke liye tum phir se mujhe andhere mein dhakelna chahti ho?? Agar mujhe jodke, mujhe ummeed deke, mere andhere Jeevan mein ujaala laake, mujhe itni buri tareeke se todna hi tha, toh meri zindagi mein aayi hi kyun?? Tumse milne se pehle, main uss bridge pe khudkhushi hi karne jaa raha tha par jab tumhe behosh dekha, aisa laga jaise mere andar ki jaan achanak se nikal gayi.... tumse bas uss pehli nazar mein pyaar ho gaya tha! Mere liye, uss din se, bas tumhi mayne rakhti ho...Par shayad main tumhare liye kuch hoon hi nahi..isse accha main usi din mar...
He was interrupted by her hands on his. She was in tears due to his outburst, but not because he said all those things to her, but because, he was in so much of pain and that too, because of her. It wrenched her heart and she hissed in pain , when she heard him say, usi din mar.... He looked at her, a bit calm but he had this expression which she couldn't make out.
Recalling his words about his suicide attempt, she immediately hugged him tightly, fearing that he wouldn't be infront of her the next moment.
Naina: Pagal ho tum? Kisne bola suicide attempt karne ko? Tumhe kuch hojata toh??
Worry, concern and fear lined her words, making him calm down.
Naina: Aur kisne kaha ki tum mere liye mayne nahi rakhte? Sirf tum hi mere liye mayne rakhte ho....sirf tumse mujhe fark padta hain!
