SHAURYA

It had taken him few moments to believe it was indeed Anokhi in his arms and not just another figment of his imagination.

His trip to Goa was scheduled to a day after but he had left the same night,just wanting to get away from all the conflicting emotions and the turmoil for a while.

The constant tussle of push and pull between him and Anokhi when he had hoped for a new beginning for both of them had been catastrophic.

Her words had hurt.How She had termed his all encompassing love for her as game and some sort of sick revenge had him not only reeling back in shock but also confessing her love to her in agitation.

All his plans had gone in vain with their heated confrontation.Her tears troubled him with an intensity he himself didn't recognise,her misconceptions was breaking her own heart in process.

He wasn’t a very patient man and Anokhi’s vehement refusal to even try understanding his point of view was disconcerting as it was painful.

Four days he had prohibited himself from calling her.From wanting to check on her to hear her voice,to know she was missing him as much as he was missing her.

But 4 days of being away had given him time to think through their conversation with a different perspective.

Anokhi had come to know about his engagement with Shagun and yet she has come because he had invited her.

She had trusted his word over whosoever she has heard and had come to the hotel but seeing him and Shagun having dinner had left her heartbroken.

It was her very first date and how it had ended.Shaurya realised inspite of being so brave and fierce Anokhi was but naive in matters of heart.

They have stood holding onto each other,a couple hidden from all the worldly disturbances and differences,cloaked in their love with moonlight being the only witness of two lovers stealing a moment of togetherness.

He felt Anokhi stiffening in his arms as he sensed the change in her body language and he knew the spell was broken.

She extracted her arms away resulting him in slowly loosening her hold on him.

"Woh,I Mean - I --". Anokhi spoke still standing in the periphery of his embrace as she tried her best to avoid looking at him directly.

"It Happens Anokhi.Hope The Journey Was Comfortable."

Shaurya said not wanting her to get uncomfortable.

Being this close to her,Shaurya could easily make out the shadows beneath her eyes and the way now she was holding herself strung tight not giving an inch of it.

A prolonged silence enveloped them as he waited but seeing her silent he too stepped away.

“How are the fest preprations coming along?." Shaurya spoke conversationally.

Anokhi looks baffled and completely taken aback by his question and Shaurya knew this was the path he needed to march ahead on.

Anokhi would be expecting him to question her perhaps demand to know her feelings or try making things clear between them and most probably confess his love again.

But he wasn’t going to do any of it.He had to keep her guessing this time till she herself reveals to him what had her so flighty and ready to run away in denial.

The way she has ran and sought refuge in his arms,her sigh of relief,the absolute feeling of completion they both had experienced told their own tale.

Knowing her and wanting both of them to just be in each other's company for sometime without other stuff hanging over them he asked her

"Did you had dinner?.I was just going to.If you wanna join we can discuss about how far the preprations of the fest are coming along?."

"No.I think Ill go to my room.And if anyone saw us together,I don't want uncouth rumours to fly around."

"Noone will see.As it is I am not fond of food in this hotel too much.I was going to a small cafe not so far away from here."

Anokhi was in two minds.The part of her who wanted nothing but to listen to him speak,brainstorm ideas,have intellectual discussions and just be with him even if its for this small time and the other part who kept sending her mind all the warning reminders she had been convincing herself of since last few days.

She agreed deciding to be selfish little more as she nodded her acceptance.

In the coolness of the night,Shaurya and Anokhi both walked in companionable silence,their steps measured and syncing with the other.

Shaurya glanced at Anokhi from time to time as they walked the small distance and thought if only this wedge wasn't between them,they wouldn't be walking like this.

She wouldn't have to ward off the cold this way,He would be there holding her close keeping her warm for as long as she needed.

But atleast he has been able to get her to eat with him.She appeared frail and with her treading on what had her so troubled ,this way he could atleast be sure she ate properly.

During the dinner Shaurya made sure their conversation didn't steer away to anything except for the fest discussions.

They both made a great team Anokhi realised as they both erupted into laughter on some lf the weird ideas students has come up with.

Being in his presence has you enamoured with his knowledge and intelligence.

Anokhi knew you couldn't call a Man Beautiful but to her Shaurya Sabherwal laughing unabashedly was the most beautiful sight she has laid her eyes upon.

"Won’t you ask me anything? ". Anokhi couldn't help but ask at last.His behaviour had her in

"No Anokhi.I think we cleared it all.This fest is going to rock the charts for even the standards of SIAC. ".

“About US P— " Anokhi was interruped before she could say PS.

“Shaurya Sir”.

“Ji”.

“I think its better if we adhere to Shaurya Sir Anokhi.We are both crystal clear were where we stand with regards to our feelings.You surely don't trust what I said and think its sort of some game I am playing.

I think it will be better for both of us.Get some shut eye,its gonna be crazy tomorrow onwards. "

Only Shaurya knew how difficult it was for him to say this when he himself had insisted on her addressing him as something else.

But for them to be more,he had to do this.

Anokhi couldn’t believe the man standing in front of her was the same man who had confessed his love to her just four days back,who had held her in his arms,she was still holding the traces of that feeling close to her was now behaving so nonchalantly.

Has he given up.Was his words just empty promises?. Was it a spur of a moment thing?."

She trusted him but how could she just open the can of worms?.It wasn’t easy to do so.

Seeing Anokhi standing there unmoving,it wasn't tough to figure out what was going on in her mind.

It hurt him hundredfolds to hurt her and say such words but it was need of the hour.

Miss Bhalla was stubborn to an extent that her own wishes had to bow down to her and he wouldn’t let her do this to herself or him.

She was killing not only her own but his heart as well.

He will find what was that has her so flighty what was that she hid even if he had to act tough with her.

Calling her again he saw her bracing himself as she unlocked her room and went inside.

The next morning dawned and as Shaurya had said they both got immersed in their duties.

With Shaurya not only being the Director of SIAC but overseeing the whole event goes without a hitch and other college participants were comfortable and following the rules and regulations,while coordinating with sponsors and hotel staff,he had his hands full.

While Anokhi was occupied with her duty as the Festival Head of the event.

Amidst all this,Shaurya watched over her closely.

He saw her handling all the preprations with finnese and getting work done like a true team leader as a sense of pride filled him.

She would steal glances him at times when she knew he wasnt looking and her eyes would glaze over with longing and sadness in her eyes.

How she would come close and then immediately step away immediately,she had been finding ways to ask him questions which they had already discussed about.

He had her have the play for he needed the closeness as much as she did.It was difficult to not hold her hand or pull her closer to him and wipe away all that had her so disturbed.

Shaurya had been in middle of overseeing the reharsal of skit when a piercing cry had him turning towards the sound.

It was Anokhi sitting on the last stair holding her foot,her face wretched in pain.He was besides her in flash as he bent on his knees and held her ankle which had swelled.

Her friends tried to pull her up but she cried out in pain and couldn't get up.

He wanted to carry her in his arms but the presence of other students and their dynamics didn't give him the right to do so.

“Everyone get back to your reharsals.Ill escort Miss Bhalla to her room and be back.”. Shaurya announced.

Gesturing Reema,they both helped her to stand and taking hold of her arms led her to her room.

Reema got the first aid kid as Shaurya settled Anokhi on the bed and elevated her foot properly by keeping the pillows beneath it.

Reema left and Shaurya first gave Anokhi the painkiller and then sat ar her foot applying the ointment and spray where the area had swelled up.

Two lone tears cascaded down her eyes and his own misted seeing her in pain.

“Is it paining a lot?.” Shaurya voice was but a whisper.

"No.Its not that.Its just you,how you-- .Anokhi shook her head in negative As Shaurya pressed the icepack changing positions continously to provide her relief.

"Never seen a Man taking care of a woman like this.".She mumbled to herself but Shaurya heard it.

"Rest for the day". Shaurya got up saying that.

"No I am joining the reharsals in a bit." .Anokhi was quick to deny as she tried to get up.

Shaurya bent forward holding her shoulders as he nudged her to lie down again

“Anokhi you cant possibly be thinking to dance!."

“I have to prepare."

"Its fine Anokhi.Ill ask someone else to take over your position". Shaurya answered worried for her.

"NO.You have given me a responsibility,you have trusted me with this.I wont let you down atleast not in this.”

Her words held more meaning than just the fest leading Shaurya to accomplice as he explained to her with all the gentleness he could muster.

“You are not letting me down in anything.Take some rest and then join only if you are feeling better.”

Unable to control himself anymore,he cupped her face and she instantly leaned to his touch holding onto his arm as medicines started making her drowsy.

With his other hand he caressed her forehead till he was sure he was fast asleep.

Shaurya tried to get up but she was holding his hand tightly not letting him move and an surge of protectiveness engulfed him.

His Anokhi was a fighter but something or rather someone had her so frazzled and disturbed.She was still fighting but against herself.

She wanted to let go of all her feelings towards him and her heart wanted to hold onto him even while asleep.

Shaurya gently extracted his hand and took at last look at her as he left.He had some answers to as for in the whole fiasco A certain someone's winning smirk hasn't escaped his notice.

It was time to get some much needed answers.
