Hello guys!
First, let me give you the disclaimer. I am not a writer and not a native hindi speaker. Sorry to burst your happy bubble but saw Swarda in the basement wala location a while ago. Thought of penning down this engagement revelation wala chotu sa sad os .
Heartbreak
Somehow ShaKhi gets stuck in the location due to heavy rain and spend the night sleeping in stairs as per bts.
Shagun reaches to the location in the morning with great difficulty. Seeing the closeness of ShaKhi, she shrieks loudly, Anokhi!
Both ShaKhi wakes up with jolt hearing the sudden noise and upon finding Shagun, stands a little apart. Shagun walks up to her and shaking her shoulders, says,
Shagun- Shih, kitne besharam, opportunist aur gold digger ho tum. Goa mein BM ke engagement announcement aapne aakhon se dekhne ki baad bhi itni giri huyi harkat kaise kar lete ho? Looking at Shaurya, Tum to ladke ho, tumhari galti nehi hai, insaan behek jata hai mein samajh sakti hu aur ussi weak moment ka faida uthati hai ye ladkiyan. Tum thik kehte the Shaurya. Ye small town girls hote hi aise hai. Acchi future ke liye kisi se bhi latak jate hai. Tum handsome ho, rich ho, upar se tehre SIAC ke director, issi liye isne socha hoga tumhare saath raat bitake tumhe blackmail karke Mrs Shaurya Sabherwal ban jayegi to phir life sorted ho jayegi. Aur chahiye hi kya hota hai aisi ladkiyon ko? Par sunlo. Tumhara ye tricks yaha nehi chalega. Kissi aur ko pakad lo. Mera aur Shaurya ka sagai ho chuka hai aur bahut jald sgaadi bhi hone wala hai. Ye dekho hamara rings. She shows her rings and points at Shaurya's.
Shaurya shouts "Shut up, Shagun."
Nikki backs off. Seeing the ring in Shaurya's hand, her heart clenches so hard as if it stopped pumping. She felt breathless and a numb sensation and a sharp pain filling her entire being. She starts trembling, her eyes get blurry. And again, all those words uttered by Shaurya in the library starts echoing in her ears overlapping with Shagun's ones. She puts her hands on her ears to stop the internal commotion and tries to steady herself by holding the nearby wall. Yet she somewhat starts losing her balance.
Shaurya sees the shattered state of Anokhi. He was also dumbfounded by how the engagement thing got revealed and how disgusting things Shagun has uttered. He tries to come closer to support Anokhi, to console her, to explain his stance. But even in that broken state, she jerks away his hand.
A- Kya ye sach hai?
S- Mein samjhati hu na tumhe ye kyun hua, kaise hua.
A- Maine pucha jo Shagun ma'am ne kaha kya wo sach hai? Sirf ha ya na mein jawab dena. Mujhe aur kuch nehi sunna.
S- Ha. Par pls tum mujhe galat mat samjho. Let me explain. Ek mauka to do, pls Anokhi.
A- Diya tha mauka. Par aapne usse gawa diya. Mujhe aur kuch nehi jan na. Ab se, balki abhi se, mujhe aapse kuch lena dena nehi hai. Aap chaliye apne raste, aur mein aapne raste.
S- Aise kaise koi lena dena nehi hai? Aise kaise tum mujhe chodke ja sakti ho? Tum he pata hai na how much I love you and ab to hamara....seeing Shagun he goes silent thinking of BM's health. He couldn’t utter the words "Shaadi bhi ho chuka hai".
A- With a look of indifference and pitiful sarcasm, dekha aap se to kaha bhi nehi gaya. Bade aaye the mere liye badalne wale, bade aaye the haq jatane. Issi liye meine kaha tha, insaan soch badli nehi ja sakte hai.
She sighs and continues, "Khair mein bhi kitni beeakoof ho, do bar, do bar aapke baton pe aa gayi aur galat decision le rahi thi. Chalo phir bhi accha hai, Shagun ma'am ke wajah se mujhe mere sach aur apke zindagi mein mere jagah dono hi pata chal gaya. Aur to aur, wo shabd jo aapne library me kaha tha wo bhi phirse sunne ko milgayi. Kitna acchi jodi hai aapka. Barabar ka haisiyat, ek jaisi soch."
Turning to Shagun, she says, " Thank you ma'am mujhe aaina dikhane ke liye. Jaisa aapne kaha, waise na mein hu aur nahi mere jaisi baki chote shehar ki ladkiyan. Par mein khud ko ya phir mere sapno ko aapke samne explain nehi karungi. Jaane dijiye, aap jaisi logo se yehi ummeed kya ja sakta hai. Sighing she continues, shayad aapko vishwas nehi hogi par aap fikr mat kijiye, mei dusro ki amanat pe nazar nehi dalti. Ye aap ke mangetar hai, aap aapne hi sath rakhiye. Mujhe na hi ye chahiye aur na hi inse jure huye kuch bhi."
Listening this, Shaurya tries to say something and she stops by showing her hand and turns to leave. Then she stops and turns again to them.
"Btw congratulations once again. Aap dono humesha zindagi bhaar saath mein khush raho. Looking directly into Shaurya's eyes (with numbness), chalti hu. Khush rahiye, Shaurya sir. "
Saying so she leaves and so do his life.....
