So here is 44th chapter guys...hoping you all will like it..
************************************
Shaurya- I said...
He started but then paused in middle as his gaze fell upon her stading there at the door..
While Kartik was confused at first but then he followed his gaze only to witness Anokhi there..
Anokhi- Kya hua? Aise kyun dekh rahe ho? Aur Kartik... tum abhi kuch keh rahe the ki..
She said while Shaurya glared him..
Kartik- Kaun main??
Anokhi- Ofcourse tum..
Kartik- Main...toh kuch bhi nahi..
Anokhi- Aree par tumne abhi toh mera naam..
She said and again Shaurya signalled him something while she noticed that..
Kartik- Tumhara naam...maine..nahi toh..tum kya bol rahi ho..
Anokhi- Maine abhi sunaa tha..aur tum log..
Shaurya- Tum hamari baatein sunn rahi thi..
He said while cutting him in middle while she narrowed her eyes at him..
While Kartik facepalmed himself while looking at both of them..
Anokhi- Main..aur baatein sunnugi..
Shaurya- Haa...aur kya??
Anokhi- For your kind information...Woh aadat meri nahi..tumhari hai..
Shaurya- Ohh hello...main koi baatein wagere nahi sunnta kissiki..
Anokhi- Shayad tumhari yaddash kamzor ho gyi hai..issiliye..
Shaurya- Meri nahi tumhari...main bilkul thik hu..
Anokhi- Ohh really...
Shaurya- Haa really..
Kartik- Guys guys..stop it!
He said while jumping in between while these two were still glaring each other..
Just then Anvay also reached there and looked at them surprised..
Anvay- Kuch hua hai kya...i mean tum log..
"Nothing"
Both exclaimed at the same time while glaring Anvay and then turned to look at each other..
While Anvay looked at them surprised for sudden outburst..
Anvay- Ohk fine...got it..relax..
He said as they both then looked away and soon were engrossed into their works..
But Anokhi was still caught up into what she heard sometime ago..
Ofcourse she knew both were hiding something..
She knew he was covering up for that by being angry...She knew its his nature...
Anger is his shield to hide inner feelings..But yes..she even knew that he will not show them up...he will never show his inner feelings easily..
***
Kartik- Kya kar raha tha tu...yeh aise bekaar mein argue karke kya milta hai tujhe..yeh koi solution nahi hai..
Shaurya- Haa...uss waqt yahi solution tha...aur ab tu woh baat nahi chhedega phirse...its...its... all... over..samajh... please...
He tried hard to sound authorative but his voice broke at end as he looked away...
Kartik- Yeh baat tu mujhe samjha raha hai yaa khudko?
He said with a sarcastic smile before leaving as Shaurya kept contemplating upon what he just said..
***
The day went by as they all were busy in seminar and their project all day...
But here Shaurya was the one pissed off entirely...at first she was avoiding him and second was Anvay..
Anokhi was trying her best to ignore him...she didn't know why but she was feeling something different in him...his behaviour...everything..but still she tried to avoid him because she knew she was not having strength to face him entirely..and morning's conversation annoyed her again and she was cuaght up in that since then..
Even if she would talk to him it was only related to work and in that too she would not make eye contact with him...
Shaurya knew everything but still he was feeling like to talk with her atleast like it was earlier...normally...but to his disappointment nothing normal was left between them...
But still he just wanted to talk to her..i would be either arguing with her but that also he was ready to do...he didn't know why but he only wanted to converse with her..
He sighed thinking about the same as moved towards the elevator and just then saw her entering there...
She paused as she looked at him moving in...
She was about to look away and move..
Shaurya- Kyun?? Koi problem hain kya mere saath jaane mein??
Anokhi- Mujhe... kyun hogi koi problem...
She said while moving inside and stood beside him as the door closed..
Both moved their hands towards the button simultaneously and then gazed each other from corner of eye as their hands brushed against each other but then she moved back looking away..
Shaurya- I know problem toh hai...tabhi toh baat nahi karti..
Though he just murmured to himself but she heard it..
Anokhi- Baat karne ke liye kuch hona bhi chahiye..
She said while looking at him while he gazed her thinking that she heard it..
Tune jo na kaha main woh sunta raha
Khamkha bewajah khwaab bunta raha
Anokhi- Agar tumhare paas baat karne ke liye kuch tha tum hi bol dete..
She said while looking at him and their eyes locked again..
She was about to look away but he started..
Shaurya- Main bolne wala tha...par tum baaki logo ke saath kuch jyada hi busy thi...so..
Anokhi- Matlab?
She asked being confused..
Shaurya- I mean...kaam mein ofcourse...aur kaha..
Anokhi- Haa woh Anvay ne..
Shaurya- Ab woh kahase aa gaya beech mein?
He asked cutting her in middle while she stared him in confusion..
He was clearly looking frustrated..
Anokhi- Beech mein nahi...main toh...par tumhe usse kya problem hai??
Shaurya- Toh tum usske...
He paused in middle thinking what he was going to blurt out..
Anokhi- What?? Bologe aage??
Shaurya- Nahi...kuch nahi..
At first she didn't get what he was implying to and then again his weird behaviour..
Anokhi-(thinking) Anvay se kyun problem hone lagi ab?
Itne mood swings toh kissiko nahi hote honge jitne yeh Mr.Rude ko hote hai..
She thought while looking onto other side..
Shaurya-(thinking) Main kar kya raha hoon?? Ek toh mujhe khud hi door rehna tha aur main hi...
He thought as he wasn't getting what he actually wanted..
But then they both again looked at each other at the same time...both trying to say something but no words coming up for that...
And then again both looked away..
Dard pehle se hai jyada
Khud se phir yeh kiya vaada
Khamosh nazrein rahe bezubaan
Ab na pehle si baatein hain
Bolo to lab thar tharatein hain
Raaz yeh dil ka na ho bayaan
Shaurya finally sighed and decided to break the silence..
Shaurya- Kaisi ho?
He asked while staring his front and turned to look at her as she also looked at him...
Shaurya- I mean...gharpe wagere..sab..
He covered up trying to begin a normal conversation while she looked other side..
Anokhi- Gharpe...sab thik hi hai..i mean...maa, Isha bhi...aur..
Shaurya- Aur tum?
He asked finally looking at her as she gazed back at him..
Eyes locked speaking volumes..
Anokhi- Kaise hona chahiye??
She asked after a long pause while both kept staring each other as if there was no end...
He felt a sting in his heart with her reply...
He was unable to speak up even a word after that...
She wanted to shout out to him...No..I'm not okay...how can she be all fine after that...but yes..what she spoke was her mind not by her heart...
Both were still gazing into each others eyes as the elevator door parted away grabbing their attention and she looked onto other side and begun to move out and so he did..
Ho gaya ke asar koi humpe nahi
Humsafar mein toh hai humsafar hai nahi
Door jaata raha paas aata raha
Khamkha bewajah khwaab bunta raha
Both looked at each other again as awkward silence prevailed between them...but then after a while she broke it..
Anokhi- Uhh...main..
She said while turning to leave from there..
Shaurya- Anokhi!
He called her out in a soft voice..
She halted upon her steps and again turned to look at him..
But before he could say anything, he saw Anvay approaching her...
She followed his gaze to find Anvay as he reached by her side..
But then as she turned to look at Shaurya who begun to leave from there..
Door chahat se mein apni chalta raha
Khamkha bewajah khwaab bunta raha
Tune jo na kaha main woh sunta raha
Khamkha bewajah khwaab bunta raha
Jaane kiski humein lag gayi hai nazar
Is shehar mein na apna thikana raha
Her such question made him rethink of what he did...he again started pondering upon the same...
Whether everything he did was wrong? But he was all while thinking about her only and tried to do everything only for her...
He never wanted to hurt her...not even in his dream...but he did it that day because he felt that she will be happy after that..but for the first time he felt that she was not..
Should he tell her about that?
These questions took over him completely as he was again able to think only of her..
Both were tossing and shuffling on their bed not able to sleep..
Sleep, yes it was the last thing which was coming to them today..
Sighing, both sat up straight while thinking about the same..
Anokhi- Yaha main usski wajah so nahi paa rahi hu...aur..
Shaurya- Aur woh toh achhese so rahi hogi...
They both thought the same...as each other's thoughts were not leaving them at all...
Finally both decided to move out the room..
Shaurya was just absent mindedly walking towards the poolside all while thinking about her...
Anokhi's condition was the same as she was moving there not knowing he was also approaching that side..
She sat there on one of the benches while silently staring at the still water in the pool..
Shaurya paused upon his steps as his gaze fell upon her..
Aaya woh phir nazar aise
Baat chhidne lagi phir se
Aankhon mein chubhtha kal ka dhuwaan
He just kept looking at her aa if rooted at his place...
Just then she felt a strong gaze on her..
So she turned only to find him staring her..
Haal tera na hum sa hai
Is khushi mein kyun gham sa hai
Basne laga kyun phir woh jahan
Woh jahan door jis'se gaye the nikal
Phir se yaadon ne kar di hai jaise pehal
The only difference this time was he didn't look away, rather maintained an eye contact with her...
As if trying to convey something through eyes...
She felt captivated by his eyes, she wasn't feeling to look away..
Lamha beeta huwa dil dhukata raha
Khamkha bewajah khwaab bunta raha
Tune jo na kaha main woh sunta raha
Khamkha bewajah khwaab bunta raha....
Jaane kiski humein lag gayi hai nazar
Is shehar mein na apna thikana raha
Door chahat se main apni chalta raha
Bhujh gayi aag thi daag jalta raha...

He sushed her as his finger pressed against her lips while coming dangerously close to her and her eyes widened in shock
