Beyond Boundaries 💝

Intoxicated Dev.

It was already night, Vidhi did not realize when she fell asleep while crying. Suddenly her phone rang and Vidhi woke up.
It was her father, she picked the call.
She talked with him and after a while ended it.
When she cuts the call her eyes went on the time, it was almost 8:30.

Vidhi: itni raat ho gaiee aur Dev sir ne mujhe bulaya kyu nahi? Shayad Dev sir ab tak mujhse naraz honge. Mai na ab Dev sir se dhabe wali koi bhi baat nahi karugi aur...aur unke saath ekdam professional rahungi, unhe itu sa bhi shikayat ka mauka nahi dungi.

She after that got fresh and went to his room and knocked it but he didn't responded.
She then called him but still he didn't responded then she finally decided to move inside.

When she came in she saw that Dev wasn't in his room, she even called him thinking that he is in the washroom but he wasn't their also.
Vidhi got tensed.
She immediately went out and started looking for Dev into the corridor.
She asked many of the passing staff members about him and all said that they didn't saw him.
Now she got panicked and started blaming herself that because of her Dev went away in anger.
She then decided to search for him at the hotel and thus moved towards the lift. Before she could press the lift button to call it, the lift made the sound and the door got open.

Vidhi took a breath of relief finding Dev inside the lift, who walked towards her with trembling legs. Before Vidhi could understand his situation she saw that he is on the verge of falling, she immediately went to him and saved him from falling. He directly landed in her arms.
He seperated mumbling a sorry but then went silent finding Vidhi.

Vidhi had till now smelled the alcohol and got shocked.

Vidhi: Dev sir apne Sharab pee hai?

Dev took least intrest in what she asked him as his mind was already again playing the incidence of the Dhaba. Even under the influence of alcohol, he remembered each and every thing said by Vidhi very closely.
He smiled slightly but his eyes watered.
He called her name in a stammering tone.

Dev: V..Vid..Vidhi!

He held her tiny hands into his biger palms.

He then remembered her question.

"Kya apke dil mein mere liye itni si bhi feelings hai? "

His eyes flowed more.

Vidhi: Dev sir ap ro kyu rahe hai?

Dev: mai...mai kitna bebas hu na Vidhi, mai chah kar bhi tumhe vo nahi keh sakta Jo mai tumhe kehena chahata hu.

Vidhi kept staring at him with confusion.

Dev: lekin...lekin yehi sahi hai. Vidhi tum..tumhare liye yahi sahi hai.

Vidhi: Dev sir ap ye kya keh rahe hai mujhe kuch nahi samajh raha hai lekin iss waqt apko kamre mein chalna chahiye.

She encircled his hand on her shoulder and started taking him towards the room. But it was really difficult to carry him even on her shoulder because of his weight but still she managed to enter the suite and then his room.
She made him sit on his bed and went back to lock the door of the hall.

When Dev didn't found her with him he shouted her name.

Dev: Vi..Vidhi! Vidhi!

Vidhi came running immediately.

Vidhi: Yes sir?

Dev got up and walked towards her with unstable legs.

Dev: tum kaha chali gaiee thi? Please mujhe chhod kar mat jao. Pata hai ek din tumhe nahi dekhta hu toh lagta hai jaise meri saasen nahi chal rahi.

He was trembling badly and was again about to fall but Vidhi held him again and made him sit on the bed.
Dev pulled her towards himself and she landed in his arms while sitting on his lap.

Vidhi's heart skipped it's beat. The proximity between them was making the breathing impossible for her.

Vidhi: Dev sir ap ye kya ...

Dev kept his finger on her lips.

Dev: Shhhh! Kuch mat kaho.

He cupped her face. Vidhi's eyes also slowly started getting watery. Dev wiped her tears with him thumb but his hands still cupped her face.

Dev: ye hakikat...ye hakikat nahi hai na Vidhi? Ye...ye Hakikat ho he nahi sakti, kyuki...kyuki hakikat mein hum itne pass aa he nahi sakte.
Aaise...

He brought his face closer to her while joining his forehead with her's.

Dev: aise ek dusre ko mehesus nahi kar sakte, ek dusre ke ho nahi sakte. Ek dusre ko itna chah ke bhi chah nahi sakte.

Vidhi smiled while closing her eyes which were immediately started flowing at his words.
'He loves her', this filled her heart with happiness yet it was crying because Dev was crying.

Dev seperated their faces and both looked at eachother.

Dev: Vidhi humare beech ek bohot bada umar ka faasla hai, jo  kabhi tey nahi ho sakta aur isiliye Mai tumse ye nahi keh paa raha ki mai bhi tumse bohot pyaar karta hun.

Vidhi smiled wider and now cupped his face too.
He continued to speak.

Dev:Kyu ki agar...agar maine tumse ye keh diya toh...toh tumhare dil mein ek umeed jag jayegi au..aur mai...mai tumhare dil mein ye umeed jagne nahi de sakta Vidhi. Tum...Tum iss samaj ke bichaye raaste par nahi chal paogie aur agar chal bhi li toh seh nahi paogi aur Tut jaogi aur mai tumhe tutate nahi dekh sakta...nahi dekh sakta mai tumhe tuta hua! Nahi dekh pauga.

Vidhi: D..Dev sir...

He again kept his finger on her lips.

Dev: Please aj mujhe bolne do. Mai janta hu ye hakikat nahi hai aur isiliye main itna bol paa raha hu... please bolne do. Mujhe tumhe mehesus karne do.

He again cupped her face and kissed on her forehead. Vidhi closed her eyes feeling his love.

Dev: Vidhi! Meri Vidhi...ye...ye sapna kitna khubsurat hai. Mai sapne se kabhi bahar nahi ana chahta. Mai tumhara ho jana chahata hu, tumhe apna bana lena chahta hu...chahata hu ki hum dono ek ho jaye par...par ye...ye mumkin nahi hai...nahi hai ye mumkin Vidhi.

Vidhi's eyes cried more and she immediately hugged him, sobbing into his arms. Dev reciprocated tightly and closed his eyes. Eventually he lost his balance and layed on the bed and  Vidhi's hand got stuck behind him and thus she couldn't even move but honestly she didn't wanted to move from there.
Dev started feeling his eyes heavy but his murmuring never stopped.

Dev: Vidhi...kya...kya aisa nahi ho sakta ki hum dono yun aise humesha ek dusre ki bahon mein rahe. Mai...Mai humesha keliye aise he tumhare... tumhare karee..kareeb hona chahta hu...hume..sha...aise...

He drifted into sleep but Vidhi continued to cry in his arms snuggling on his chest, all night long, thinking about her cruel destiny who gave her Dev's love but didn't wrote their union. She was happy that Dev loves her but she couldn't help crying because Dev was carrying so much of pain for her, for them in him. 

She cried the entire night on his chest while laying herself fully on him. But when she got tired of crying her eyes too went heavy and she too slept in his arms.
