Kaisi teri khudgarzi, Na Dhup chune na chhanv.

~~

Rey followed taani while thinking about talking to her anyhow. How could she ignore me like I am no one to her. I know i was angry on her about hiding my identity to tauji, but that doesn't mean she will behave like this. He looked at taani who turned left from the corridor, and then looked around. All were gossiping about her, some were still in shock of her new look.

"Taani is looking different. Why this sudden change?" Asked one of the guys standing near corridor to another one.

"Jo bhi ho, she is looking damn pretty." Said the other, making rey glare at them.

"Achanak se ese change, koi  naya  bakra  fasana chahti hai kya? Rey se bore ho  gayi  hai?" Said a girl feeling jealous of her simple yet elegant look.

"Shakal se to bholi bhali lagti hai." Replied another one who noticed rey looking at them. She gestured others to look at him. As soon as they looked at him, his glare was enough for them to shut their mouth. 

"Chalo guys lecture hai." Said that guy and all of them left from there.

Rey was about to go but just then Myra came there looking for him. She stood in front of him and handed him a file.

"Complete this report and hand it over to me by tomorrow." She ordered, much to Rey's surprise. He thought she will help them in their work so that they can focus on rehearsals, but here she is ordering everything like boss. 

"Okay." Rey answered, taking that file from her. She smiled at him and tried to talk, "actually i am busy with other stuffs."

"Don't worry. I will finish it. I am used to it." Rey said. " Anything else? If not, then i have to go. " 

She nodded in yes and went from there. 

**

"Taani, stop" rey called her, but she did not stopped. Rey started walking faster as she walked fast. "Taani, i said stop." Again he said , this time running behind her. He came in front of her and stopped her mid way, before she can enter the class.

"Rey, abhi class hai. Baad me baat karte hai." Taani said to him, but not looking at him.

"I want to talk to you now." Rey said in a stern voice, which somewhere scared taani a bit. She very well knows if rey want something than anyhow he will get it. She looked in to his eyes which were showing anger towards her. Her mouth felt dry. She looked here and there and then tried to move.

"Don't you dare. Varna me tumhe utha ke  leke jauga." Rey warned her. " Lets go." But taani did not moved an inch.

" Taani, do you want me to carry you in my arms?" He asked again, with a smirk on his lips. He came near her and was about to held her but she stopped him. 

"No, no way. I am coming." Taani said as she took few steps back. Rey chuckled looking at her, how adorable she was looking. Her new look was driving him crazy. Her one look was enough to melt his anger, but he kept his anger as it is.

Rey started walking and taani followed him. Taani, Clear everything today. Said her mind, but her heart told her that no matter what,  rey will never stop loving her. 

But before they could reach at their meeting place, Rey's phone rang. He looked at the caller id , vp sir was calling him.

"Yes sir?" He said as soon as he picked up. While taani stood beside him, lost in her thoughts.

" Meet me now." This sentence came from the other side. Rey cursed under his breath as he couldn't disobey his orders. 

"Okay sir." He replied and hung up. Then he looked at taani who was lost in some thoughts.

"Taani, we will talk later." He said, but  taani  didn't listen to him. 

" Taani? " He called for her again and this time her trance broke.

"Hmm?" She looked at him, and found him looking at her only. "We will talk later.I have to meet VP sir now." She heard him. 

" Okay then, i am going for my lecture." She said. " Baad me milte hai." She turned and left from there.

**

" Rey, put a notice on notice board about  myra taking GS responsibilities for two weeks and on update it on college website." VP sir told rey. " Also help Myra as she is new. "

" Yes sir, i will. " Rey replied. Bas  itni  si  baat  thi. Vo to call pe  bhi  bol  sakte  the.  Taani  se baat karne ka achha chance tha. Ab wait  karna padega uska. Mushkil se usko manaya tha baat karne k liye. Rey was lost in some thoughts.

"Where are you lost?" VP sir asked him as he found him looking down, on the floor.

"Hmm? Nothing sir. I will do this by tomorrow." Rey said. "Anything else sir?"

" No. Thats it. You may go now." VP sir said and rey came out of his cabin.

Still there were 30 more minutes for the lecture to end. He rehearsed with gang for sometime, though he was not at all focused on rehearsals. Somehow he managed to finish it and then boys and girls left except  ShaRey. Swayam was already gone as he had some work to do which sharon gave to him. Rey told sharon to wait so that he can talk about his and taani's matter with her. They both sat down resting their back on the mirror.

"I am trying to talk to her since morning. Don't know why she is ignoring me." Rey said as they sat down. "This is driving me crazy sharon." 

"Rey, jo bhi ho. Talk directly with taani." Sharon said to him, to which he nodded positively. But got lost in some thoughts.

" What are you thinking rey?" Sharon asked as she found rey lost. She had never seen his best friend this much disturbed since she know him. Seems like taani is very important for rey. I hope everything sorts out between two of them soon.

"Rey?" She called him, this time slightly shaking him. Rey came out of his thoughts and found Sharon staring at him. 

"Sharon, i am thinking about fake break up plan." Rey said to sharon.

" Rey, you sure about this? I mean  taani  ke  sath ese fake break up karna. Do you think this will work? " Sharon asked him about surety of the plan. 

"Sharon, all i want is taani to have an  independent identity. I don't want her to be  too much dependent on me. All she is thinking about is married life with me. I want my life partner to have an ambition in her life. I don't want her to be only my wife and nothing else. " Rey said, and while talking he stood up. His face was showing anger, disappointment, pain and yet love towards  taani. "But , in past two days i figured out that staying away from her is not the way."

Sharon smiled, knowing that rey isn't thinking about staying away from her. She stood up and went near him. "So you mean that you won't break up with taani?" Sharon asked, who very well knew pain of separation from your loved one.

"Staying away from taani is very difficult for me. And for taani , I don't think she can handle this. She is so much in love with me. I mean i am too, but she will get hurt more. I have to find a new way to make her realise importance of career. " Rey said , this time with a hope in his eyes that what he is thinking will work very well.

"Wow rey. Just talk to her and tell her everything that is on your mind. I am sure she will understand. " Sharon said with a smile.

" I hope so sharon, i really want her to be  something and not just being my wife. " Rey replied.

Sharon hugged rey and assured him that everything will be better soon. Unknown to both , a pair of eyes saw everything that happened inside. All their talk was heard by her, who was none other than taani. 

Tears rolled down her cheeks as she heard  rey was thinking about doing breakup with her. No matter fake or real, how could he think like this? Doesn't her opinion matter too? Is it only rey in a relationship? She could not take this more and ran from there.

**

Taani was at her usual place, Fire Exit. She sat there thinking about what she just heard. Tears were running down like it will never stop now. Her bag was on the stairs, things scattered out of it. Her hands were in her hairs, as if she was trying to pull it. Sobs were coming out of her mouth and it was difficult to control for her.

Gang came back after sometime and started to rehearse. Swayam was still busy with work. 

Rey tried hard to focus on routine, but was failing to concentrate. 

"Rey, what happened to you? Why aren't you able focus on dance? ” vicky asked him as he forgot a step. 

"Sorry yar, m so sorry." Rey said looking at gang. 

" Hey guys, its okay. Let it end for today." Sharon came to his rescue and helped him." I think aaj ke liye itna kafi hai"

"Okay. Lets wrap up." Nil said and took his water bottle to drink water.

"So tomorrow sharp at 8." Said simmi to which all agreed.

"Rey? Are you okay with this?" Sharon asked to him getting a positive reply.

"Rey, tum bhi dancer ho?" All heard a male voice and turned around.

Rey's eyes widen as he looked at the person standing at the entrance. He fumbled and failed to reply. He couldn't make eye contact with him, his secret was out now and that too at the wrong time.

"Vo sir... Actually..." Sharon tried to defend him, understanding his situation very well.

"Sharon, i am talking to him." Tauji said in a stern voice as he came inside.

"Yes sir , i am also a dancer." Rey replied much to his surprise, knowing that now its a waste of time hiding this. "Sir aap yaha kya kar rahe hai? " Rey tried to change the conversation.

" I was here to take taani home. She messaged me to pick her up. I tried to call her but she did not answered." Tauji said.

" Taani ne bulaya? But why? Uski health to thik hai na? Suddenly kyu bulaya? ” rey asked getting hyper, which made tauji confuse.

"Taani is on a break now, why are you asking about her too much?" Tauji asked, to which rey did not had any answer." Anyways, send her to VP sir's office if anyone find her. I have to discuss something with him."

" Okay sir. " Rey replied as tauji started walking out.

Taani called him, despite knowing that he may know about my identity. Strange. Rey wondered and checked time. "Oh shit, lecture khatam hue half hour ho gaya." He ran out of the rehearsal hall, leaving behind confused gang and worried Sharon.
