"You did all this to protect him!
I still can't believe ki vo sb ek naatak tha... ek pal ke liye to mne bhi sb sach mann liya tha... Indeed you are a good actor... Anokhi!"

2 days back
Morning
"How are you feeling now" Shaurya asked
"Sir (head) thoda bhari h pr dil... bohot halka"
"Here, take these medicines"
"Shaurya mai -"
"Anokhi stop... aaj mujhe bolne do... Please...
mai nhi chahta tumhe koi bhi misunderstanding ho..."
"Hmm"
"Actually I.... I have someone in my life... Someone whom I love... Mai tumhe hurt nhi karna chahta but unintentionally I did... I'm really sorry for that...
Anokhi tum-"
I felt my heart breaking, without making any noise... Someone just snatched my love from me... But the truth is, he was never mine...
"Kon h vo..?"
"Shagun... Shagun Kapoor"
"Par vo to-"
"Vo mere pass nhi h... Par mai humesha usika rahunga.."
*Silence*
Shaurya's phone rings..
He declines
Rings again
"Aap recieve kar skte h"
He went outside to take the call and i locked the door from inside..., I was broken..., Yes i heard there were some rumours of them dating but after few months she died in an accident but its been years since that incident.... Shayd yahi pyar hota h Anokhi... He loved her and death also couldn't separate them....
Par jo mne feel kiya kya vo galat tha..?
Shaurya
I completed the call and went to her room, door was shut, was about to knock, but i heard her sobing, i wish i could anyhow make things right, she don't deserve this pain, i couldn't stay there more... Hopefully Time will heal everything

Anokhi
2 days passed my foot was alright now, i resumed the shoot from yesterday only, things were going according to the schedule, as we started shooting for long hours...
Shaurya always kept an eye on me, why can't he understand it's really impossible to ignore his gaze.., even a mere eye contact was enough to bring tears in my eyes... I couldn't face him... I felt suffocating there
After packup I went to the terrace of the hotel.., as the Sun was setting every moment I spent here in Shimla flashed in front of me, with tears brimming my eyes, everything seemed faded...
Suddenly someone pulled me backwards
"Shaurya..."
"Kya kar rhi thi tum yaha" he asked aggressively
"Sunset.... Kya hua h Shaurya? Are you fine?"
His eyes were blood red and he never talked to me in that tone... It was scaring me now...
He pulled me closer grabbing my arms tightly
"Hua to 3 saal pehle tha Anokhi... jise chhipane ke liye tumne itni badi planning kari"
"Ye aap kya bol rhe h... Chhodiye mujhe!! you are hurting me"
"Kya lga tha tumhe mujhe pyar m fasakar apne bhai ko bacha logi but you know what, you've failed!"
"Bhai? Raja bhaiya? Shaurya please thik se bataiye mujhe baat kya h?"
I was in tears by then, it was hurting me, not the pain, but his condition, I've never seen him this vulnerable
"March 1, 2019 kaha the tumhare Raja bhaiya urf Pawan Singh Bhalla"
"1 march to Dolly di ki shadi thi... Mumbai m... Mummy ji papaji Raja bhaiya babli di sb vahi the.."
"Aur usi din Shagun ka accident bhi hua tha"
"Pr in dono baato m connection kya h Shaurya?"
"Connection huh (sarcastic chuckle)
Please don't act like you know nothing!"
"I seriously don't!"
"Enough Anokhi! The truck which hit Shagun, use Raja chala rha tha! he killed her and ran away!! Your brother killed my Shagun aur ab use iski saza zarur milegi!"
"Aur tum..! You did all this, dosti, pyar, ye achai ka drama, to protect him!
I still can't believe ki vo sb ek naatak tha... ek pal ke liye to mne bhi sb sach mann liya tha... You faked your feelings!! Indeed you are a good actor... Anokhi!"
"But all in vain... I'll never forgive you for this Anokhi... NEVER"
He left.....
He was leaving, i was standing there, numb, watching his retreating figure, he just called my feelings fake and he just accused my brother for a murder! I.. i couldn't process things... what just happened now?
I had no tears in my eyes no voice in my throat, i was frozed.
Shaurya
I was on the set when I got the call from my private investigator and what he said left me in complete shock
*On call*
"Us transportation company ke ek employee ne vo truck rent pr diya tha, without keeping any records"
"Kise?"
"Pawan Singh Bhalla from Chandigarh.... Aur Shaurya investigation ke baad, i got to know that he is related to your Actress, Anokhi Bhalla, unka bhai h vo!"
"What!!?"
"Shaurya please abhi kuch esa vesa mt karna, we need more evidence against him, to prove him guilty! So please keep calm and let me do my work... ok..!?"
*Call Ended*
The girl for whom I was feeling guilty of hurting her.., her brother is involved in all this!! did she knew all this!? Yes ofcourse that's why she tried to take Shagun's place! Was that all planned!?
I was blaming myself for causing her pain but here she was the reason of all my miseries!!
I don't care about anything now!
I just want him behind the bars anyhow!

Next Day
We all have to leave for Mumbai today since we are done shooting in Shimla, Everyone was present there Except Anokhi... What else could I've expected, late as always
"Buckle up everyone!! We'll miss the flight" Shaan said
"Dad... Where is Anokhi?" I asked
"Arey usne tumhe nhi btaya? She left for Chandigarh early this morning, kuch emergency thi.., i hope everything is fine in her family..
Don't worry she'll return by tomorrow"
"Ab nahi aaegi vo" Shaurya mumbled
"What?"
"Kuch nhi dad, chaliye"
Chor chori pakde jane ke baad bhagta hi h and I'm not surprised (sarcastic chuckle)
Bs ab esa kuch Mt krna Anokhi ki mujhe tumhare bhai ke sath sath tumhe bhi...
Flight takes off....

"Haye puttar kitni fiki pad gyi h, thik se khana nhi khati na vaha, sari chamak gayab ho gyi h chehre se.., Acha bata kesi h aur savere savere kis Khushi m itna acha surprise Diya hume.."
