The Leave Of Love

Chapter 7

"Tere liye duniya chhod di he
Tujhpe hi saans aa ke rooke
Mein tujhko kitna chahti hu
Yeh tu kabhi soch na sake"

After Rohan opened both of her shoes, she again slurred "Don't you hate....me?"
He held the cover nd said in a heavy voice "Ishita so jaa abhi. Tujhe itna peena nahi chahiye tha."
He started to cover her with a light sheet. When he was covering her chest, she held his hands nd again asked in twisted voice "Bol na Rohan.... Nafrat karta he na mujhse?"

"Nahi karta hu. Ab so jaa." He scolded her.

Ishu laughed like a drunkard nd said in a hazy voice "Mein bhi nahi karti!"

Rohan freed his hands from her nd turned around to leave when she again clutched his hands nd lifted herself up to sit.
She held his shirt nd while pulling him closer to her, she uttered hazily "Why do you... hurt me Rohan? Mere dil me to tere liye pyaar ke alava aur kuch bhi nahi he.... Mein kabhi chaha kar bhi tujhse nafrat nahi kar sakti....I LOVE YOU ROHAN!!"

She pulled him more closer nd their lips met. She clutched his shoulders nd was giving him a light peck. Rohan wanted to resist but he didn't. He took some time but then he too closed his eyes. He placed one hand behind her cheeks nd the other on her waist for support. He pulled her more closer nd deepened the kiss as if he wanted to get the whole of her.
They kissed each other like insane.
Tears were rolling down his eyes.

This wasn't supposed to happen!

After a moment when they went out of breathe, Ishu fell on the bed nd slept.
Rohan again covered her with the sheet nd stroked one strand of hair behind her ear. He looked at her sleeping face for a moment. He wiped the tear off his cheek nd left the room.

He went to another room nd stood in front of the open window. Cool breeze was hitting his face.
The night view of the busy Mumbai was breathtaking. But he didn't looked at it. He looked up at the moon nd closed his eyes.
No matter how much beautiful the busy city looks but still the strings of your broken heart would only play in the presence of the serenity of nature. Maybe that's how we all r ought to be.

He felt the cool breeze against his wet cheeks nd his eyes glittered with the moonlight.
He whispered "I can't bear this anymore.....I can't control myself anymore...."
He leaned his head against the window pane nd the tears made their way down his cheeks.

9 October, 2022

Ishu woke up in the morning with a massive pain in her head. She pressed her head while sitting up nd opened her eyes.
She got shocked that she wasn't in her room. She rubbed her eyes properly nd then again opened them.
She looked all over the room nd realised that it was Rohan's room. It took her just a second to recall the incidents of the previous night. She closed her mouth with her hands in embarrassment nd hurriedly got down from the bed. As soon as she set her foot on the ground from the bed, she found her shoes lying there. She again recalled that Rohan had opened them from her feet.
She wore the shoes nd came out of the room scratching her head in pain. Rohan was nowhere to be seen nd she felt a relief. She came to the drawing room nd found Aku sleeping on the couch.
She rushed to her nd started to awaken her.
She shook her while muttering "Aku plz uth jaa! We're in Rohan's house."

"Thodi der aur sone de na yaar.." Aku said in sleepy voice.

"Uth jaa Aku.. plz yaar! We've to return home. We were sleeping in Rohan's house."

"Pata he yaar! Kal raat tu ne jo kiya!!"Aku murmured while sitting up.

"Hangover ho gayi he... My head is tearing apart in pain!!" she said again pressing her head with her hands.

"That's why I brought lemon water for both of you." Rohan came from behind nd stood beside them with two glasses of lemon water in his hands.
He was wearing a track pant nd a maroon T-shirt. His hairs were messy nd his face was looking dull as if he hadn't slept the whole night.

"Thanks Rohan." Aku extended her hands to take the glass from him when Ishu stopped her by slapping her hands away.
She turned towards him nd said coldly "Hume tumhari koi ehsaan nahi chahiye!"

She didn't wait for his reaction. She held Aku's hands, lifted her up from the couch nd huffed "Aku let's go from here."
She dragged her out of the house along with her without giving her any time to say anything.

Rohan kept standing there with the two glasses in his hand. He observed them silently until they left his house, without saying anything.
