RoNakshi OS Series

'Always'

As Raima had come out of her 4 year long coma, her brain hadn't still started functioning properly and the sudden changes in her body and organs, as she woke up, led her to take drastic decisions and she blamed Sonakshi, being the last person that she saw before closing her eyes, for whatever had happened to her 4 years ago. As her brain and body started getting back to normal, she contemplated over what had happened and regretted blaming Sonakshi for everything, when truly even she was a victim that night.

As things started getting back to normal between her and Rohit, as well, she could feel a certain invisible distance between them and her doubts had come to light. Rohit loved Sonakshi. As things started getting registered in her brain, she read a message that Rohit had sent her a week before and she remembered the moment she had walked into Sippy Mansion and realised that Sonakshi had been there because Rohit had wanted to propose to her and she had ruined it for them.

She had tried talking the same with Rohit, telling him that it wasn't Sonakshi's fault, that she wanted to talk to Sonakshi and that she knew he loved her, but Rohit had brushed it off saying that that wasn't the case. Raima had tried her hardest to contact Sonakshi but Sonakshi, after that night, had taken up an extremely hectic schedule, which made it difficult for anyone to even have a talk with her at the least.

Raima and Sumit had soon decided to reunite Rohit and Sonakshi but their ever so hectic schedules had never given them a chance to even sit and chat with either of them. Raima had already given her green signal to Rohit the minute she realised that he had loved Sonakshi but Rohit, being the dumbo that he was, still hadn't taken the decision of meeting Sonakshi, even though it clearly broke his heart to do so. Raima had also realised that her feelings for Rohit had been fading away as the time passed by and she felt a strong connection to Sumit, which she was sure even he did.

As the scene of Parvati's monologue went on, Sonakshi felt a slight tug in her heart and the fake tears that flowed from her eyes, turned into real ones as the pain in her heart became unbearable. She still held on till her packup for the day and immediately broke down the minute she entered her makeup room.

Rohit sat on the chair in his cabin as the last patient walked out. He felt extremely exhausted and Sonakshi's face still lingered in front of his eyes. All he wanted to do, at this point was to give her a tight hug and break down in her arms, losing himself in those brown locks of hers and never finding a way back.

He knew he had hurt her, probably more than anything else ever did and he wanted to make that right but he wasn't sure how to. The day that he had proposed to Sonakshi, he knew that he had completely gotten over Raima, but his guilt still remained there. The moment he had seen Raima walk back into his life, the day he was going to propose to Sonakshi, he knew that he hadn't had any feelings of love towards Raima and that he'd only love Sonakshi but the guilt of losing Raima due to his surgery had consumed him and he had pushed Sonakshi away.

That tear stricken face of Sonakshi was something he's never forget in his life. After Raima had come to her senses after having fainted, he had tried to be extremely normal towards her, not letting her know about him and Sonakshi. After about a week later, as Raima's brain and organs started getting normal, she had herself seen the difference in him and had realised how wrong she was in blaming Sonakshi. She had seen that he loved Sonakshi and had soon confronted him about the same, telling him that it was fine if he did go back to her.

Rohit had seen Raima's feelings for him fade away too, and getting stronger for Sumit as he saw them together every now and again, and he knew it was the right time to talk to Sonakshi but he wasn't ever able to muster up courage to do the same.

It had been more than a week since Raima had moved out of the Sippy Mansion with her mom and she had pestering him to have a chat with Sonakshi. Sumit had also called him, telling him how much Sonakshi had changed and that he needed to go to her soon. Rohit had decided quite a lot of times that he would go to her set and talk with her but the fact that he had hurt her so deep, just never let him work on it. He didn't want to stand in front of her, after all this while and make other false promises and break them on a later note to hurt her again. He felt incapable to keep those promises.
