Inspired by 4/14 episode when Shaurya applies color to Shagun by mistake and Shagun reciprocates in return and hugs him.
Anokhi was so excited hiding behind the decorative wall. She so badly wanted Shaurya to win and apply color on her cheeks with the same tenderness as she had imagined the previous night. She was so sure of his affection towards her, she did not need words. But, once in a while, she would get a doubt if this was affection or just that she had become his favorite student and he was at ease with her.
"Enough of hiding" she thought and peeked towards the corridor edging towards the end of the wall. She just stood there as if she was paralyzed. There stood her PS holding another girl in his arm and she had color on her cheeks and so did PS.
They were just hugging and not moving away from each other's embrace. Anokhi didn't know what she should do. "Who is she?" she thought. At the same time Shaurya looked towards Anokhi. Suddenly he let the girl go and whispered "Anokhi" but before Anokhi could say or do anything, the lady was pulling Shaurya and dragging him saying "Kitne dinon baad mil rahi hun, chalo sabke saath holi khelte hain" and soon Shaurya was gone.
Anokhi stood there for few minutes without moving, without realizing what was happening. Did she see a nightmare? or was she wrong in thinking there was some affection from PS towards her? she wasn't sure.
"Should I just go grab him and ask him what he was doing? " she thought.
But then the more realistic voice from within asked. "Kya poochogi unse aur kyun? Kabhi yeh kaha that unhone ke tum unki kuch khaas lagti ho? Tum to acchiwali, bright student ho. Bas, woh kiske saath kya karte hain, iske baaren mein poochna theek nahin hai. You have no right".
Without realizing what she was doing, she walked towards her hostel, into her room, sat on her bed and remembered him laying on her bed with fever. Remembered how scared she was for him that night.
Remembered how he had said "jab tak mein apne haathonse tumhare chehere par rang na lagaonga, yeh holi happy holi nahin hogi" and then the lady hugging Shaurya's picture came to her mind. A lone tear slowly started as a warning and soon she was sobbing uncontrollably.
Her phone started ringing displaying caller as Astha mam. She wiped her tears and cleared her throat but refused the face time request but immediately called her Astha mam.
"Happy Holi Anokhi, tumne video kyo on nahin ki"? Astha asked.
"Mera phone gir gaya aur camera kaam nahin kar raha hai mam, Happy Holi " Anokhi replied.
"Toh bolo, kaisi rahi tumhari holi aaj?" Astha asked.
"Theek thak mam" anokhi cleared her throat again.
All of a sudden Anokhi wanted to get away from here, even if it is for few days. She wiped her tears one more time and asked "Mam, kya mein aapse milne aa sakti hun? Is hafte chutti hai college ke liye, toh hostel mein bore hone ke bajaye, kya mein aapke ghar aa sakti hun. Agar ho sake to chupke se mummiji se bhi milna hai, bahut yaad aarahe ho aap dono".
"Yeh bhi poochne ki baat hai Anokhi? aaj ki train pakad ke hi aajao, chalo train chudne ke baad, mujhe call karna, darwaze pe koi hai" Astha hung up.
----------- To be continued or maybe not
I just wrote this because I was bored. Not sure if I will still have the interest to continue and finish this after today's episode airs. Want something different than the girl crying and stupid misunderstanding that run for days, weeks and even months.
