He held her hand, she looked at him with pleading eyes. "Mat Jao Anika.!"

"Please Shivaay...mat rokiye!" she spoke amidst tears

"Jaana jaruri hai kya.?"

"Agar abhi nahi gayi naa toh kabhi nahi jaa paaungi.

Hummare beech jo hai naa, wo bahut strong hai.

Saath rahenge toh bahut dard hogaa Shivaay.!

Why don't you understand I bring out the worse in you.

I can't stay!"

Tears rolled down her eyes as she spoke looking down.

"But you also bring out the best in me!" He said holding her other hand in his, his eyes moist.

"But this best comes at the cost of worse!Not a good deal Shivaay.
Please let me go!" She pleaded, her heart ached.

A lone tear escaped his eye.He freed her left hand.
His right hand still holding hers.

"I can't live without you!"He said pressing her hand slightly.

Anika pressed his hand back-"You can,you will! I know!"

Shivaay's vision blurred as fresh tears formed.-"Tum reh paaogi mere bina?" His heart thudded, while he suffocated with every breath.

"We have our lifelines Shivaay,our brothers!" She said leaving his hand.

"Anika please !" a mere whisper that, even the mountains would echo.

"No Shivaay...What we share is beyond beautiful Shivaay!
We will spoil it if we stay. I have to go." She said adamant, her heart almost dead and her hands colored with his blood. She was scratching his heart, but she knew it was better than stabbing every single day.

Sachhi Mohabat Shaayad Wahi Hai Jiss Mein Junnon Hai

He left her hand, and stepped forward to hug her, for once he agreed to her decision. But, how would he live without her !?

She nodded in a NO and turned away tears raining down to her cheeks.
He saw her walk out, this time forever.

She stopped sighed, turning quickly, placed a kiss on his forehead and disappeared.


He turned away smiling amidst his tears

"I Love You Anika and Always Will!"

"I Love You Shivaay" she sighed looking at the sky outside, a smile slowly blooming on her face amidst the dew of warm wet droplets.

Par Do Dilon Ki Yaari Mein Bhi Toh Kitnaa Sukoon Hai,

Dekar Mujhe Teri Judaai Ran Ne Muje Paigaam Diya.
