Tanhaiyan

prologue

A marriage is a bond based on love and trust. It is something which every person dreams of. A perfect life partner and a soulmate to spend your whole life with.
The entire room was decorated with flowers and filled with an aroma of scented candles. A girl dressed in a bridal lehenga was standing in the balcony and watching over people moving around the house, with happiness evident in their expression. The room which might look perfect to an outsider was suffocating the girl and that girl was MEERA.

Meera kapoor jisne pyar ke darwaze apne zindagi mein humesha ke liye band kar diye the.. Aaj woh ek aise shadi mein bandh gayi thi jahan usse sirf ghutan ho rahi thi.
Jin aakhon ne kabhi na rone ki kasam khayi thi, Woh aaj naam thi.
Dhoka; Koi dhoka de bohot takleef hoti hein par koi apna dhoka de toh dil tut jata hein. Aaj bhi uske sath kuch aesa hi hua tha.

Meera was lost in her thoughts when the door opened and she knew who it was right away. Someone who she thought was different from others .. Someone in whom she found her peace in.. Someone who had made her believe in love again and someone who broke her heart again. It was none other than HAIDER.

Meera - Yahaan kya kar rahe hein aap Mr haider?
Haider- You mean main apne kamre mein kya kar raha hu Ms kapoor? Ohh sorry, i mean Mrs Haider ali khan.
Meera-Don't call me that. You and your name both disgust me.
Haider (chuckles)
Meera-Can i know what's so funny Mr Haider?
Haider-Peheli baar dekha hein kisiko khud ki hi pehchan se ghutan hote huye.
Meera-Khudki pehchan? Aapko lagta hein aap meri pehchan hein? Meera kapoor ne apni pehchan khud banayi hein Mr haider.. Usse aapke ya kisi aur ke sahare ki koi zarurat nahi hein.
Meera starts laughing
Meera- You know Mr Haider what is actually funny? Me getting married to the guy who I hate the most? Me smiling when my heart's aching? Me entertaining all the stupid rituals of your family which are as disgusting as you.
Haider-Meeraa! (Haider pins meera to the wall. He holds her hand. His eyes were burning with rage.His heart was questioning him whether she was the same Meera that he fell in love with)
Main aapke muh se apne bare mein kuch bhi sunne ko tayar hu Meera par meri family ke bare mein not even a word.
Meera-kyu sach chub gaya? Aap jaise log kaise hote hein mujhe acchi tarah pata hein. Log badal jate hein.. Halat badal jate hein par unki fitrat ,woh kabhi nahi badalti Mr Haider.
Haider - Fitrat ki baat aap na hi kare toh accha hoga mrs khan.
(Meera tries leaving from there but ends up slipping and falling into Haider's arm. Meera lifts her head up and both of them suddenly realise their proximity. Their lips were inches apart. Meera could see the emotions in Haider's eye. For a moment she thought she saw a bit of innocence in his eyes .Haider moved closer and was about to kiss meera. That's when meera came back to her senses and pushed him away.)
Meera-Don't you dare touch me Mr Haider ali khan. You mean nothing to me. This marriage means nothing to me.
(Haider was hurt and his eyes were reflecting his pain. )
Meera- Mujhe barbad karte karte aapne khudko barbad kar liya Haider. And i promise you that i will make your life a living hell. Tanhaiyon ko aapne khud apni zindagi mein jagah di hein Mr khan.
Haider- Game on Mrs khan! Par aap bhul rahi hein ki jin tanhaiyon se aap mujhe dara rahi hein, unki galiyon se mera bohot purana Vaasta hein.

Jiske bahon mein aakar laga
Ki abb dur hongi tanhaiyan
Aaj ussi ki manmarziyon ne
Humme tanha kardiya.
