part 1
Reys house
Rey and taani standing a few feet away from each other staring at each other -
rey in his vest and shorts/ taani in her usual aladdins and bag.
" no"
" no matlab"
"ab kya tumhe english bhi samaj nahin aathi? No means nahin' rey replied
sarcastically
" rey! Aapko ho kya gaya hain? aap aise kyun baat karrahe ho?"
" chalo, aur kuch nahin tho atleast you remember my name. One week and you
havent bothered to find out ki main hoon ya nahin "
"rey please..I...mujhe...i knew ki aap teek hain kyunki bhai aapke saath the " she
looked worried , he looked unconcerned with her worry ," aap...aap teek ho na?"
" i guess you dont know ki mujhe tumhaare bhai ki nahin ,uski sister ki zaroorat
thi" his voice a curious mixture of sadness and sarcasm
Taani tried speaking without getting emotional,"please rey... main bas yeh kehna
chahthi thi ki aapne ek hafthe mein teen meetings miss kiye hain and VP sir s
really angry about it. New academic year bhi start hua hain and theres so much
to do,. Freshers party hain, elections hain and aap..." she stopped but he didnt
show any sign of relenting,he had his hands folded across his chest in a i dont care
about what you are telling me attitude " VP sir bohot gusse mein the rey. Aap
college bhi nahin aaye...inform bhi..."
He didnt reply but continuously stared at her , it was talking to a wall, she met his
eyes for a second and found them accusing her - she lowered her eyes and closing
her own for a second , shook her head and said," rey im ...maine aapse hi seekha
hain ki personal aur proffessional baaton ko mix nahin karna chahiye. Aap please
kal se college aajaana and VP sir ko bhi millena warna problem hojaayegi"
"tumhe kya problem hain agar main VP sir se miloon ya nahin ya whatever?" he
shot back. She looked at him giving a frustrated look , he raised his eyebrows and
moving closer said , his voice still with sarcasm, " i mean tum kis haq se mujhe
kuch bhi kehrahin ho? "
"main GS hoon aur..." he smiled still and moved closer to her. Taani lifted her eyes
up to meet his and found in them a mixture of sadness and accusation. She move
back, hit the centre table, swayed for a second , rey didnt hold her but she steadied
herself bending back placing a hand on the table edge and then standing up
straight, voice low replied, "rey...rey i know we ve ...but kya hum ek doosre ke
saath normally behave nahin karsakthe pehle ki tarah ? As ... Friends..."
Rey laughed suddenly, his laugh without any mirth but loud and shook his head,"
taani we are not friends . we ve never been friends"
"i know" she interrupted him quickly," but kya ab..." he shook his head immediately
she stopped a second hurt but then continued stronger voice ," ok fine chodo but
rey hamare problems ke wajah se sabko parishaani hothi hain, sirf gang ko nahin
but even work...aur last time aapne hi mujhe samjhaaya tha ki mujhe it affected
nahi hona chahiye aur ab ..."
" jab tum meri har baat samaj sakthi ho, maan sakthi ho tho kya yeh nahin maan
sakthi ki humein saath hona chahiye?" he shot back, his voice hopeful but his
eyes not expecting her to answer positively and moved another step closer and
took in her dry dull eyes confusion written large in them.
She couldnt move further back and feeling trapped by his question and the table
behind her, looked at him meeting his eyes- eyes that had held so much warmth
and love for not just her for for every person every friend he had but now- she
was struck by the lost look in them like they had no use for the nicer feelings
anymore. They looked betrayed. She had a bad urge to wipe the unshed tears ,
run her hands over the dark circles under his puffed up eyes and hug him to herself
taking away his pain but then ...someone inside told her- taani is haalat ki wajah
tho tum hi ho , tum iski dawa nahin bansakthi- and she shook her head clearing it
He caught the act and smiled wryly understanding her turn of thoughts before
she voiced them out.
She replied voice softer and gentler," rey, its ...we should move on" and stared
at him. He stared back at her, taking in the strength in her soft voice and felt his
heart crumble. She saw his shoulders droop and not wanting to see him anymore
weak started talking again keeping his eyes locked into hers," wahin baatein baar
baar ...its no use ...sorry rey.."
He suddenly moved back leaving her more breathing space ," no taani, u arent.
You arent sorry ki hum saath nahin hain, I am sorry but you arent" she looked at
him surprised at his tone which had changed from sarcastic, sad to flat emotionles
He turned away , bent his head and then turning back to her took a deep breath
and said," and you know what , you are right. We should move on" his voice
becoming harder as he spoke ," and so it starts from now, from this moment
mujhe tumse baat nahin karni hain. You remind me of my stupidity taani. Stupidity
in taking you for granted. You remind me ki koi kitna bhi pyaar kyun na karein,
sabselfishhojaathe hain.you,meeveryone. Meri selfishness thi ki maine tumhaari
ideas aur feelings ki respect nahin ki aur tumhaari selfishness hain ki tum mujhe
maaf nahin karpaarahin ho...so yes...we should move on. We should"
Taani stared at him , " rey, aisa kya ...i mean hamara breakup ko actually 3 months
hogaye hain and we have been okay .. Aur ab aap suddenly aise..." taani spoke up
her voice lower than before , clutching her bag tight in her hands- understanding
that he was giving her up completely at that moment and suddenly felt her knees
buckle and eyes burn.
" you are a better person than me sweetheart " he smiled genuinely," Meri taraf
se wo sab fake tha na taani, so i could manage to speak to you, irritate you fight
iwth you ..but ab nahin. Tab I was sure ki inspite of everything jab tumhe sach ka
pata chalega tum meri stupidity nahin mere pyaar ko choose karogi. Main
confident tha ki...forget it, wo bhi ek aur foolish idea tha bas."
her face turned more dull if possible , he immediately put his hands out and shaking
his head continued," im not blaming you sweetheart but its just that..." he sighed
" i cant handle it anymore, i cant handle any more heartbreaks. no more pyaar "
her strength crumbled as he moved few more steps back giving her more place to
move and continued his voice harder emotionless. He took another deep breath
still staring at her and as if deciding to finish it once and for all continued
" So do me a favour and stay away from me. I wont be able to behave normal tum
haare saath. Main AGS ki position se resign karne waala hoon and ...well...koi
reason nahin hoga baat karne ke liye. Oh ya swayam...main...i ll just avoid tumhaare
ghar aana and ...we are done..." he cooly folded his arms across his chest and
stared at her pointing to the door with his eyes, " u move on , i move on and all is
well but...no taani, i cant be friends "
Taani turned away from him and ran from his house till the road where she caught
an auto , her eyes filling up continuously as she kept wiping them. She hadnt
expected this , he had been so broken on NDC finals day. He had been able to get
through his face off only because she had emotionally blackmailed him. She knew
he was angry and upset with her but she hadnt expected it to stay on in his heart
turning him bitter. Rey itne toot nahin sakthe, hes rey! Sabse strong sabse alag
sabka friend
She had gone to his house to make him realise that VP sir was angry with him but
...hey krishnaji! Ab main kya karoon? Maine kya itni badi galthi...unhone mujhe
kyun blame kiya? Main phir se unke saathkaise...she shook her head confused.She kept wiping
her tears continuously andstopped when she reached the open door - swayams house
- she heard voices frominside - saara gang yahin hain aur rey nahin. She sighed , she couldnt
seperate him from the gang, from his dance - maine pehle bhi wo galthi karchuki hoon , ab
phir se nahin and taking a deep breath, wiping her eyes turned and dialled her
mobile walking away from the house.

Reys house
rey sat in front of the videogames set and played on it alone willing his mind to
go blank of all thoughts. His mobile rang loudly - swayam
" haan swayam bol"
"hi rey, tu ghar pe hain? "
"haan"
"ok...taani wahaan hain kya?" asked hesitantly
"no, she left sometime back"
"left? Kahaan?"
"i dont know"
Swayam exchanged glances with sharon standing next to him in swayams house
" rey kuch hua kya?"
"kuch baaki hain hone ko swayam?"
"no i mean she isnt home and uska mobile bhi constantly engaged aarahaan hain.
.i dont know..." sharon placed her hand on his arm comfortingly
Rey felt a sudden dread clutch his heart and tightened his hold on the mobile...
