Next Day...

Agastya was preparing to leave for Mumbai. His flight was in few hours. At that moment, he was having mixed feelings. On one hand, he was happy that he would go back to his city, meet his friends and start his career again. But on the other hand, he was sad too as he was leaving something precious here. He was leaving his family here and his Sukoon with whom he didn't know what relation he shared. But he knew that she was special for her and he didn't want to go away from her. He wished if he could take her with him.

"Main bhi kya soch raha hoon." He thought and sighed.

He checked his room for the last time and left from there.

Outside everyone was present to bid him goodbye except Sukoon. Agastya's eyes started searching her.

Seema Dadi came forward and gave him a container of laddo.

"Inhe raaste mein khana." She said with teary eyes.

Agastya smiled and touched her feet. Seema Dadi caressed his head giving him blessings.

Then Sheela Dadi came to him and gave him a muffler which she made for him.

"Yeh meri taraf se. Airport jaate jaate thand lage toh pehen lena. Kyu ki Mumbai mein toh garmi hoti hai. Iski zaroorat nahi padegi." She said.

Agastya took it and said, "Aap ki flirting ko bohut miss karunga."

Sheela Dadi chuckled and said, "Main bhi."

Agastya touched her feet as well.

Then Anand Dadu and Rekha Dadi came with an idol of lord Krishna and gave it to Agastya.

"Tu chahe kahi pe bhi rahe, yeh humesha teri raksha karenge." They said.

Agastya touched their feet.

Like this all came one by one and and gave him something.

Seema Dadi looked for Sukoon but she didn't come yet. She expected that she would come to say him goodbye. After sometime she went to Sukoon's room.

Sukoon was doing something in her phone when Seema Dadi came there and asked, "Agastya jaa raha hai. Uske jaane se pehle tu ek baar uss se milegi nahi?"

Sukoon hid her emotions and said, "Milna toh chahti thi. Par dekho na Dadi, abhi kuch der pehle ek event ke liye dher saare sweets ke order aaye hai. Uss hi ke baare mein distributor se baat kar rahi hoon. Main abhi bahar nahi aa sakti. Waise bhi kya fark padta hai? Aap sab toh ho."

Seema Dadi nodded her head in disbelief. She knew that Sukoon was lying.

She went near her and snatched her phone.

"Dadi kya hua? Main kaam kar rahi thi na?" Said Sukoon making an irritated face.

"Thik se jhut bhi nahi bol sakti tu. Tujhe dukh ho raha hai ki woh jaa raha hai aur yeh baat main jaanti hoon." Said Seema Dadi.

Sukoon looked away saying, "Mujhe kyu dukh hoga? Agastya bas humara mehmaan hai. Uske paas rehne ki jagah nahi thi, koi take care karne ko nahi tha, isliye usse itne din humare Villa Of Love mein rakha. Main toh jaanti thi ki woh ek na ek din chala jaayega. Yeh koi nayi baat nahi hai. Main iske liye bohut pehle se prepared thi."

Seema Dadi kept her hand on Sukoon's shoulder and said, "Toh phir usse alvida kyu nahi keh paa rahi? Dukh ho raha hai iss hi liye na? Beta, uska jaana zaroori hai. Mumbai mein uska sab kuch hai. Woh humesha humare saath nahi reh sakta. Par uske jaane se pehle hum haste hue usse alvida toh keh hi sakte hai? Chal mere saath aur mil le uss se."

"Main nahi jaaungi." Said Sukoon nodding her head negatively. She was trying to control her emotions.

"Andar aa sakta hoon?"

Hearing Agastya's voice, Sukoon and Seema Dadi looked at him. He was standing at the door.

"Haan haan Beta." Said Seema Dadi and Agastya entered the room.

"Tum dono thodi der baat karo. Main aati hoon."

Saying that Seema Dadi left from there.

After keeping quiet for sometime, Agastya said, "Tum bahar nahi aayi toh main idhar aa gaya. Jaane se pehle tumse ek baar milna chahta tha."

Sukoon looked down and bit her lips to control herself.

Agastya paused for a while and said, "Sukoon jab main tumse mila, I was broken. Idhar udhar bhatak ta tha, nashe mein dhoond rehta tha, logo se badtameezi se baat karta tha aur har pal har dam apne uparwale se apne maut ki bheekh maangta tha. But after you came into my life, everything changed. Tum mujhe iss Villa Of Love mein laayi, mera itna khayal rakha aur duniya ko dekhne ka ek alag nazariya diya. Yaaha aane ke baad paata chala ki har koi selfish nahi hota. Abhi bhi iss duniya mein kuch log hai jinke liye apne aap se zyada rishtey matter karte hai. Woh rishtey jo khoon se nahi, dil se jude hai..... Thank you Sukoon! Thank you ek ajnabi je liye itna karne ke liye. Thank you mujhe itni pyaari family dene ke liye. Thank you meri life ko broken se beautiful bana ne ke liye. Iss jagah ne aur tumne mujhe bohut kuch diya hai. Uss sab ke liye dil se thank you. Kehna toh nahi chahta par abhi jaane ka waqt hogaya hai. So.... bye Sukoon."

Till then, Sukoon was looking down. Hearing his words, she took a deep breath and looked at him with a huge smile.

"Bye Agastya! And all the very best for your future." She said to which he smiled.

"Aur haan.... Mumbai wapas jaa ke yeh mat bhool jaana ki Delhi mein tumhari ek dost bhi hai." She said further.

Agastya chuckled and nodded in no.

"Apna khayal rakhna."

Saying that Sukoon hugged Agastya and he hugged her back. After sometime they broke the hug.

"Kabhi Mumbai aayi toh milna." Said Agastya.

"Zaroor milungi." She replied with a smile.

After that they came out of the room. For the last time, Agastya looked at everyone with teary eyes and then left from the Villa Of Love taking his suitcase.

As soon as he left, Sukoon ran inside her room. She couldn't control herself anymore. She sat down and started crying. She didn't know why she was crying but that day her tears were not stopping.

Seema Dadi came there saw her like this. She smiled sadly. She knew that deep down their hearts, both Agastya and Sukoon had feelings for each othe. That was why this separation was causing them so much pain.

Seema Dadi sat beside her and slowly pulled her towards herself. Sukoon kept her head on her shoulder while sobbing.

"Bas bas meri Bacchi. Itna nahi rote. Woh koi dusri country mein thodi gaya hai? Mumbai paas hi toh hai. Tu jab chahe waha jaa sakti hai. Woh jab chahe yaaha aa sakta hai. Phir kahe ko yeh rona dhona?" Said Seema Dadi caressing her hair.

Sukoon stopped sobbing and said, "Paata hai, main jab Agastya ko yaaha laayi thi, mera motive yeh hi tha ki main usko ek behtar zindagi de ke yaaha se bheju. Aur aisa hua bhi. Par uska yaaha se jaana mujhe itna affect karega, yeh maine nahi socha tha. Asal mein itne dino se woh yaaha reh raha hai, ek lagav sa hogaya hai uss se. Sayad woh Mumbai jaa ke phir se pehle ki tarah busy ho jayega. Apne doston se milega, unke saath naye naye play banayega, tarakki karega, inn sab ke bich main sayad usse acche se yaad bhi naa rahu. Lekin mere liye toh, woh mera ek lauta dost hai, aur humesha rahega. Aap sab ke baad woh hi hai jisko maine apna maana hai. Isliye sayad uske jaane se mujhe itna dukh ho raha hai. Itna lonely feel kar rahi hoon main."

Seema Dadi understood her situation and slowly wiped her tears.

On the other hand, Agastya was sitting at the airport and waiting for his flight which was 30 minutes late. During that, he was continuously thinking about Sukoon. Her face was coming in front of his eyes. He was feeling restless.

"Itni bechaini kyu ho rahi hai mujhe? Aisa kyu lag raha hai jaise mera abhi jaana sahi nahi hai? Kuch bohut hi bura hone wala hai." He said in his mind.

Then he shrugged off his thoughts and said in his mind, "Mujhe aisa nahi sochna chahiye. Everything will be fine. Sayad Sukoon ko chhor ke jaane ka mann nahi kar raha isliye aise bure khayal aa rahe hai. Paata nahi, Mumbai jaa ke kaise ek ek din guzarunga uske bina. Itna toh confirm hai ki usse buri tarah se miss karne wala hoon main. Even abhi se kar raha hoon. Kya woh bhi mere baare mein soch rahi hogi? Kya paata?"

He smiled slightly thinking that. Suddenly his phone rang.

He took his phone and saw that Anand Dadu was calling him.

He received the call and said, "Haan Dadu boliye."

"Beta tumhari flight....."

"Haan woh thodi delay hogayi hai. Abhi main airport main hi hoon. Par aap ko kya hua? Aap ki awaz aisi kyu sunai de rahi hai?"

Anand Dadu broke down completely.

"Sab khatam hogaya Beta. Humara ghar, humara saaman, kuch bhi nahi bacha. Aur humari Sukoon toh......."

Anand Dadu couldn't say further and kept crying.

"Kya hua Sukoon ko?" Asked Agastya getting scared. "Dadu boliye kya hua usse."

Anand Dadu told him everything. Floor slipped beneath Agastya's feet hearing that. His hands started shaking.

"Nahi.... Sukoon ko kuch nahi ho sakta.... Kabhi nahi...." He murmured. "Dadu aap khud ko sambhaliye. Main abhi aa raha hoon."

Saying that he hanged up and left from the airport without thinking twice.
