Tu Jaane Na 🍂

Anupama looked at her in wonderment. Both Devika and Anuj chuckled. They did a high five in the air.

Anupama faked anger: Jab aapko meri baat sunni nahi toh main hi chali jaati hun.

She took her files and turned to leave the office.
In the heat of the moment, Anuj held her wrist: Acha sorry sorry, hum nahi ladenge, tum yahin baitho na.. jao matt please..

Anupama gaped. She instantly looked at Devika.
Devika acted as though she was totally indulged in her work. Anupama looked back at Anuj. Anuj loosened the grip in a blink of an eye and held his ear: Sorry... I am really really sorry. Please don't take it otherwise

Anupama caressed her wrist, his imprinted fingerprints and stuttered,: M..meeting hai meri..

Anuj nodded hesitantly: Okay okay... please continue...As Anupama left the office, he facepalmed himself: Shit shit shit

Devika came running to the seat in front of him: Ohooo kya chal raha hai, ye kab hua, you held her wrist.. my God.

Anuj felt circles spinning around his head. He removed his spectacles: No no noo... kya kar diya maine... Devika pata nahi day by day I am losing the thread of sanity... main Anu ke bina nahi jee paunga yaar... mujhe lagta tha main sambhal lunga khud ko... but I am losing it...

Devika smiled: You know Anuj, I am very happy today. Main yahi bolti thi ki don't suppress your true emotions. Mahanta ka koi medal nahi milta, aur tu mahaan banne ke chakkar mein apni zindagi ko chhod raha hai... be true to yourself first, be a human being... main bas chahti hun ye pyaar tera Anupama ki strength bane aur tu uski zindagi

Anuj asked the question troubling him the most: Lekin phir mujhme aur sir phire roadside aashiq mein kya farq reh jayega jo ladki ko apni property samajh lete hain

Devika smiled at her thoughtful friend: Anuj tujhe izhaar karna hai, aur phir uski haan ya naa ko respectfully accept karna hai... acha bata wo naa karegi toh tu kya karega

Anuj skipped a heartbeat at the thought of her saying no: Nothing, main peeche hatt jaunga aur kabhi dobara usse uncomfortable feel nahi karwaunga.

Devika nodded: Exactly, ye hi farq hai tujhme aur roadside aashiq mein — respecting the consent. Aisa toh nahi na ki wo naa karegi toh tu usse project se nikal dega ya usse hurt karne ke liye uspe tezaab

Anuj shouted: Devikkaaaaaaa are you mad or something... Kanha ji karein aisa kisi ladki ke saath na ho... aur meri Anu ke saath... main hazaaron baar aisi har mushkil khud pe le lun.

Devika looked in oblivion: Hota hai Anuj, aisa hota hai ladkiyon ke saath... kuch ladke naa nahi seh paate toh physical torture gives them the pleasure on the pretext — meri nahi toh kisi ki nahi

Anuj furrowed his brows, remembering Vanraj's stance: "Kaha tha usse door rehna... warna..."
His eyes turned teary: Main kabhi bhi, kabhi bhi Anupama ko itna sa bhi hurt nahi kar sakta... usse pehle main hazaaron baar akela marr jaana pasand karunga.

Devika smiled: I know... bas itna hi farq hai... tu kehke toh dekh, teri honesty, teri sincerity, tera intent us tak pahunch jayega

Anuj asked nervously: Tujhe kaise pata..

Devika held his hand: Kyunki ek sacche dil se nikli baat doosre sacche dil tak pahunch hi jaati hai... aur jab ye hoga na, toh tum dono ke dil ek ban ke dhadkenge.

Anuj fondled the pen on his table. He took out his mobile and checked her photo posing shyly, holding red roses: Pagal yun itna ghabra jaati hai, jab kuch meri baat hoti hai toh aise sherni ban jaati hai..

He reminisced holding her hand. He checked the circumference of his index finger touching root of his thumb: Kitni choti si kalai hai iski... bilkul aise perfect fit...
