Second Love

The Confession

11 pm Night

Anubhav was smoking cigarette while sitting on a bench at park and no one was there.

AS : kya kare kuch samajh nahi aa raha... If I confess my love to her and she doesn't love me back then.....I am not ready for the consequences, and if I didn't confess she has to live with that bastard and I can't see her with him anymore.....aagghhhhh... I am in a huge Dilemma god

Haseena was passing by their and saw Anubhav smoking cigarette. She came to him from behind.

HM : don't you think it is not good for your health. (joining eyebrows together)

She came forward and sat beside him.

AS : aa...mm... actually...I... (Fumbling)

He was not at all expecting her here at this time.

HM : you never told me that you smoke also??

AS : It's not a good news which I would tell everyone.... I know it's not good for me but still I'm a little addicted to it....by the way what are you doing here at this hours

HM : Tomorrow Vaibhav will come back home, till then I thought to enjoy my late night walks
(sadly smiled)

AS : haseena ab to aapki mom bhi nhi rahi... Ab to koi majburi nahi hai na.. fir kyu uske saath rehna chahti hai aap.

Haseena takes the cigarette from his hand and smoked it.
After some seconds she started coughing.

AS : I don't think so you have smoked before (laughing at her)

HM : obviously no...

She threw it away

AS : aa....why did you throw it?? It's the last one left on my pocket...
(Panicked)

HM : you will never smoke again
(Ordering him)

AS : o...okayy.... I will not smoke in front of you fine

HM : you will not smoke even in my absence.... Understood

Anubhav nodded smilingly

HM : by the way...are you tensed about something?

AS : aa...no.. why?

HM : no I saw you from a distance you were looking so helpless and tensed.
Is there any problem?

AS : Problem....(sighs) it's not problem... Actually I'm in a big Dilemma,

HM : dilemma!! And what is it about?

Anubhav looked directly into her eyes

HM : is it about me? (guessing)

Anubhav nodded

HM : then share it with me

AS : I want to tell you but I don't know how to say it

HM : just say it (smiled)

Anubhav stayed silent for sometime

HM : is it so serious? (worried)

AS : serious!!! My life depends on it Haseena... And I don't know how will you react after listening me

HM : what could it be that you're so nervous to tell me?

When Anubhav didn't reply, haseena hold his hand

HM : just say it anubhav... I will not overreact okay

Anubhav finally takes a deep breath turns to her side and hold her both hands.

AS : haseena... I... I love you... I really love you a lot

HM : whattt??? (Loudly but then calmed herself)
You know I'm married then also

AS : That's not a marriage haseena.. I know you are forcefully living with him... please leave that bastard... We will have a great life together... I promise haseena I'll love you till my last breath.
(Pleading)

Haseena slowly takes out her hands from his grip and stands up. Anubhav looked at her hopefully but she didn't utter a single word.

AS : do you love me?
(Said while standing up)

Haseena was startled by his sudden question. But she takes a deep breath and spoke.

HM : humare beech esa kuch bhi possible nhi hai...

AS : but why????

HM : because I love vaibhav...

AS : whaatttt??? Are you serious.. you love that person who doesn't care about you at all... (Irritatingly)

HM : whatever he is but he is my first love and I still love him.

AS : haseena... if..if You are worried about Vaibhav please don't I will manage him just say what's in your heart... I know you also feel something for me.
(Looking in her eyes)

HM (in mind) : yes... I feel something for you..and I very well know that its love.. but at this moment I can't be selfish, Vaibhav is a very powerful man... He has so many contacts and I don't want him to hurt you in future.. I..I just can't accept my feelings.. I'm sorry anubhav!

HM : there is nothing in my heart atleast not something for you
(Shouted with closed eyes)

Anubhav stunned by her sudden reply.

AS : You are leaving me For that..that bastard, it will just take me 5 minutes to put him in jail and you are doing this to me!!! (Angrily)

HM : hume aur behes nahi karni hai anubhav you...you should go
(She said while turning around)

A tear to which she was holding from a long time betrayed her and fell down from her eye as she turned.

AS : fine.... (Angrily)

Anubhav turned and started moving, an expected tear fall from his eyes which he wiped and moved out of the park.

1am, same night

Anubhav messaged karishma to open the door, she came down stairs and open the door. She look at anubhav he was in really bad condition, his eyes turned in light shade of red and his hairs were messy.

KS : anu bhaiya....ye kya halat kar rakhi hai
(Worriedly)

Anubhav without saying anything entered in the house and went directly in his room.

KS : what's wrong with him... I think I should give him some time I will talk to him tomorrow!
