"Usne bola tha woh hamesha mere saath rahegi. I would have kept her happy, so why did she leave? Usne ek baar meri taraf dekha bhi nhi."
He tensed when he felt his brother embrace him in a tight hug. Soon enough, he relaxed in his embrace and started sobbing uncontrollably.
He was crying like a child.
Desperate. Hurt. Helpless.
"Everything will be fine. Don't lose hope like this." His brother tried to console him, but he also knew the gravity of the situation.
He angryily pulled away from his brother's hold and snapped. "Nothing will be fine! She asked me to marry her, I didn't listen. She said they'll take her away from me, but I was a fool. Jhooth kehti thi woh ki prathna karne se sab thik ho jata hai. Kuch thik nhi hota. Agar hota toh aaj kyu nhi hai mere paas woh? Kyu chali gayi woh mujhe chodh kar?"
He rubbed his tears of his face harshly. His face was red, eyes were puffy, and bloodshot red. He came near his mother, who was sitting on the couch, sobbing seeing her son in this broken state. He went and sat at her legs, taking her hands in his.
"Ma, aapko.. aapko pata haina woh mujhse kitna pyar karti hai. She loves me a lot. Aap bologe na toh woh aapki baat man jayegi. Chaliye usse lekar aate hai. Let's go. She always listens to you. Woh aapki baat nhi talegi. Chaliye na usse lekar aate hai." He pleaded desperately
"Uss.. Uske bina kuch aacha nhi lagta. Mujhe woh chahiye.. Mujhe Meera chahiye. Woh sirf meri hai, woh kisi aur ki nhi ho sakti. Woh mere liye bani hai. She promised, She'd never leave me. Let's go bring bring her back. Mujhe pata hai woh khush nhi hai. Chalo na maa. Aap chal kyu nhi rahe ho? Please.. mujhe meri Meera chahiye."
His father stepped forward and embraced him in a hug, rubbing his back to calm him down. "It's fine, son, everything's fine. She didn't leave you."
"Then why isn't she here with me?"
Broken.
He looked broken.
