He finally puts her down. They both look at the diya they placed infront of the God. Then they look at each other.chandini eyes goes to his feet. And water swirl in her eyes. Her eyes follows the bloody foot steps all the way from the stairs. Her throat tightens. Guilt in her eyes and almost terrified about his reaction , she raises her head to look at him.
He is not shocked. Of course he knows her. He knows what she is capable of. She won't think twice before hurting him. This pain is nothing compared to what she has given him 16 years back. He saw her looking at him.' Guilt?'.
' kaha thana Tumse..
Dard ho ya dua..
Tum meri ho.. sirf meri.
Tum se milla hua dard BHI mere liye thoffa hai chandini.. sambaleke rukunga!' he smirks.
( I told you right ? Be a pain or prayer .. u r mine and mine alone..
Even if it's pain u gave me.. I will take it as a gift .. I will cherish it!)
And turns back , his face immediately changes to fierce . He does his good bye gesture and walks away.
She is truly stunned. She keeps looking at him. His bloody foot prints gave her goosebumps. Lips slightly parted in shock. Shikha and meghu come running to her. Holding her tight. She needs that. Otherwise she will break down.
She couldn't live with what she done. She prepared medicine for his foot . She wanted to go his room and give it to him. On the way, she stops near Mandir and she can still see his foot prints. He carrying her all the way comes into her mind.She is lost in her thought and says to god ' I know what I did was not acceptable, I thought he is going to put me down if he is hurt. I never thought he is going to walk all the way. He doesn't understand all this rasams and keeps spoiling them . I just wanted to stop him' she wipes her tears and sees the light filckering. She closes are palm around to protect and just then other hand comes from opposite side. Advay.The diya is safe and they look at each other.
Both of them in pain. Both of them lost in their own dark world and they are each others only light in their darkness. Just a small light of hope. Which one day can fill their world with roshini. Bring them out of their dark hole. But both of them unaware of this fact.
Chandini speaks first ' I thought you may need this ... ' she said extending her hand with the bowl.
Advay looks at it and at her. He smiles. Not in the sweet way, in a sarcastic way.
' dard Diya.. ab Malam de rahi ho .. par kuch choot itni aasanise Nahi Barthe chandini. Sal badhal jaathe hai par dard khum Nahi hotha.'
( U gave me pain .. now u r giving me medicine.. but all pains can't be taken away that easily.. years pass but it still hurts)
She can't understand what he is referring to. This happens all the time he speaks in different context which she can't figure out.
' har dard ka koi na koi illaz hoti hai.. phele dard ko samazana padtha hai fir illaz kya hai ,miljayega'
( Every pain has a medicine.. first u need to understand the pain to get the right medicine)
'dard hi tum ho..
Dard dene Vali Bhi..
Aur vus dard ki illaz bhi ho tum .. ab tuhi samjaav mujhe ye dard hai kaisi'
( U r my pain.. u r the one who gave me pain.. u r my releif too.. now you help me understand my pain)
He never said them not loud. He kept staring at her. And trying to understand his own emotions. Is she really concerned about me ? No, with chandini it's always an false act. He throws the bowl away from her hand.
As the bowl hit the ground spilling it's contents .she looks at him shocked.
' Meri dard Ka daava ye Malam Nahi hai' chandini, ' it's you! And I will get you. His eyes said the last part. And he walks away.
So .. people what do you think! Iam sort of okay okay with this . I mean we are getting so good episodes that what ever I write falls short of what we get to see. My feeling about this situation is still not clear. Should I feel happy that we are getting such good stuff.. or sad that my writing is below the par? Will think on thatđ
Meanwhile u can tell me what u felt about this post. Suggestions for improvement always welcome. Thank youđ
