ONE LAST CHANCE {ON HOLD}

Chapter 19

"Roh...Rohit kau...kaun hai?" Armaan asked.

"Rohit, mera dost hai. Teri tarah mera best friend hai. Rohit Malhotra." Ruhaan said.

Everyone nodded but somewhere Armaan was feeling strange hearing Rohit's name.

"Kahi yeh Rohit, mera Rohit toh nahi. Lekin ruhani to Rohit ki surname Malhotra batai hai." Armaan thought in his mind.

Armaan went to his room and closed the door. He glided down on the floor leaning his back on the door. He held his hairs tightly making tears fall down her cheeks.

"Abhira" He shouted.

"Kyu kiya tumne ese? Kyu ki Ruhaan se shaadi? Kya tum mujhe bhul gayi ho? Kya tum bhul gayi ho ki mai aaj bhi tumhara pati hu? Meri ek galti ki itni badi saza kyu di tumne mujhe Abhira? Main to tumhen apne dil ki baat batane chahta tha tumse, sorry kehna chahta tha lekin tumne to mera dil hi tod diya. Maine socha tha samay sabhi ghaav bhar dega, Abhira. Lekin tumhe Ruhaan ke saath dekh kar lagta hai ki dard phir ubhar gaya hai. Kya tum sach mein hamare vaade aur hamare sapnon ko bhul gai ho. Mai jaanta hu humari shaadi sirf deal thi ek saal ki. Lekin kab tum mera pyaar ban gayi mujhe pata bhi nahi chala. Maine apni zindagi mein kabhi itna pyaar nahi kiya tha, jitna tumse kiya. Mene tumhare sapne dekhe, humare saath hone ke  khwabon ko sajaya. Lekin tumne un sabko tod diya, Abhira. Main apne aap ko samjhaata raha ki shayad tum samjhogi, shayad tum mere dil ki baat sunogi. Lekin tumne toh apne hi raaste chuna. Tumne mujhe ek ajnabi ke roop mein chhod diya, Abhira. Par main phir bhi yahan hoon, kyunki dil hai ki maanta nahi. Main janta hoon ki tumne yeh shaadi majboori mein ki thi, par kya yeh sach hai ki tum mujhe bhool gayi ho?" Armaan cried.

He somehow managed to stand up in went towards his suitcase. He opened the chain and took out Abhira's photo from it. He roamed his fingers on her photo and kissed it.

"I love you Abhira. I love you so much. Mujhe maaf kardo Abhira. Meri galtiyo ki mafi mang raha hun tumse. Tumhe maang raha hu. Vaapis aa jaao mere pass Abhira. Mai nahi jee paaunga tumhare bina. Humesha tum par bharosa karunga. Har raat main yeh photo dekhta hoon aur sochta hoon ki shayad ek din tum laut kar aaogi. Shayad ek din hum phir se ek ho jayenge. Lekin har subah, jab aankhein khulti hain, tab yeh khwaab toot jaata hai. Tum door ho, bahut door. Meri zindagi mein ab sirf tanhai aur afsos hai. Main yeh jaanta hoon ki maine tumhe khoya hai, apne hi haathon se. Par mujhse bada jurm hai, tumhe khona. Tum mere liye sab kuch ho, Abhira. Tumhare bina meri life adhoori hai. Main jee nahi sakta tumhare bina. Please, mujhe maaf kardo, aur laut aao mere pass. Tum mere liye sab kuch ho, Abhira. Tum meri zindagi ho."

"Abhira, har pal, har lamha, tumhari yaadon mein dooba rehta hoon. Tumhari muskurahat, tumhara hansna, sab kuch mere dil mein bas gaya hai. Tumhare bina, meri zindagi suni si lagti hai. Tumhari yaadon ne mujhe jeena sikhaaya tha, par ab woh yaadein hi meri saanso mein dabi hui hai. Har raat, jab andhera chhaata hai, main bas yehi sochta hoon ki kyun tum mujhse door chali gayi ho. Kya maine tumhe itna dukh diya ki tumne mujhe chhod diya?" Armaan asked to the photo.

"Mere andar ab sirf ek khaliapan hai, ek bebaspan hai jo sirf tumhari mohabbat se bhara tha. Aur ab, jab tum door ho, toh yeh jeevan ek andheri gufa mein phansa hua hai. Main roj yeh sochta hoon ki kyun tumne mujhse pyaar kiya tha, agar mujhe khona hi tha. Par phir bhi, har subah, ek nayi ummeed ke saath utha hoon ki shayad tum laut kar aaogi. Shayad tumhare aane se meri zindagi phir se rangin ho jayegi. Par yeh sirf ek khwaab hai, jo har raat toot jaata hai.  Tum mere liye sab kuch ho, Abhira. Tumhare bina, main adhoora hoon. Main bas yehi kehta hoon, mujhe maaf kardo, aur laut aao mere paas. Main tumhein hamesha pyaar karunga, hamesha." Armaan cried as he fell on his knees.
