Shaheer's POV
I finally am in Bhaderwah, Jammu and Kashmir. I AM HOME. I can feel serenity and a bit of happiness around me. Wow! I'm really excited to finally meet my parents after a long period, which seems ages, and the best part is they don't know about my coming. It's a surprise. My heart and head is now feeling a bit light and less burdened. I'm feeling so good in the lap of my Mini Kashmir. I just want to hug my ammi straight away as I gonna reach my home.
People near my house saw me coming and they were glad to see me. I just smiled at them and waved at some small kids who came running to me.
Finally I entered my house because it was open. I walked to only hear some sounds of happy talks. My ammi, my abbu and..!?
And?
There's a third voice and as I came in front of them to surprise them, I got surprised to see POOJA!
What!!!?
She was happily talking to my mum while both were sitting on the sofa. My abbu was sitting on the chair of dining. "Pooja?" I exclaimed.
"Shaheer?" Instead my mother happily exclaimed as she saw me. She hugged me tightly but I was stunned to hug her back and my eyes stuck at Pooja who was all smiles, looking at us.
"Tumne hume bataya bhi nahi ke tum aa rahe ho!?'' my father said from behind.
"Exactly Tumne muje bataya bhi nahi ke tum aa rahi ho!?" I asked Pooja.
"Wo beta ye yaha kuch kaam se aayi hai..to isne socha.."
"Socha ke mai yaha tumhare parents se mil lu. Aaj mauka bhi tha or dastoor bhi! But tum aaye ye dekh kar bahut acha laga!" She smiled at me and I understood what her work is.
She is here to say sorry and blah and blah.
But I AM NOT INTERESTED.
It's true that I came here just because of her letter. But I'm definitely not in a mood to face her right now. I need my peace, some space and my own tranquility. But now she is here. God!!
I'm so angry and pissed at her. Can't she just stop clinging. Why she is here?

Pooja's POV
I was not able to control myself from coming here. I was genuinely worried for him and I know that with his parents too, he gonna hide his emotions. He will pretend to be happy but I want him to let it all out... You know the mirage of tensions and feelings he's visualising is not there..I want him to realise this. That's why I stopped my shooting midway and suggested my director to shoot the leftover scenes here in Bhaderwah. Even Siddharth is here! As soon as I reached here I did put all my luggage in my hotel and came to meet his mom and dad. And trust me they are really an elegant couple as Shaheer says.
Beautiful inside out. Though they hardly came in my contact in past but in almost an hour they have treated me like they know me, since many years. My sweethearts!
We three were chit chatting about Shaheer and my work when Shaheer came. I was not surprised like his parents. I could really feel his mom when she hugged him tight. But I think, I grabbed all his attention.
Hahaha! I really never wanted that but it was natural reaction.
"Exactly Tumne hume bataya bhi nahi ke tum aa rahi ho!?" He repeated uncle's words, questioning me.
"Wo beta ye yaha kuch kaam se aayi hai..to isne socha.." her mom said when I explained him smilingly
"Socha ke mai yaha tumhare parents se mil lu. Aaj mauka bhi tha or dastoor bhi! But tum aaye ye dekh kar bahut acha laga!"
As I said that, his expressions changed from shock to anger. Maybe he's not happy to have me here. But I understand.
I'll explain him..no worries.
"Do you have a brain in your head?" He yelled at me, almost causing me to stumble as I was walking to him.
"Shaheer?" I said but he interrupted me and blabbered again.
"Shut the hell up! Tum ek din bhi muje chain se nahi rehne dogi na. Pehle hi itna pareshan hu mai..tum upar se pure time muje guilty feel karati ho...kabhi to please muje akela chod do. Kuch der mai shanti se parents ke sath bitana chahta tha..par tum yaha aagyi. For god's sake jao! Please! Jao! Mai tumhe yaha rukne nahi dunga.. Don't think!! Or tumhe or kuch kaam nahi hai kya..jao apne gaane pr us video pr dhyan do..mera picha chod do yar! I need some space Pooja! Please chali jao yaar! Please jao muje nhi dekh ni tumhari shakal abhi!" He continued to yell and I was stunned to see him like that. I never saw his this side.
But this time, it's too much! I can't take it anymore! Itni humiliation! Never ever!! I hate him!
Let him ruin his life. I really don't care! I don't care!!!
My eyes were brimming with tears when I stormed out of his house, his mumma called me from behind but this time I can't stand his presence. I straight away landed in my hotel room, buried my head in pillow and cried profusely.
I never felt this much humiliated in my entire life. How dare he!?
How could he!??
I cried and cried and cried for hours. I felt so bad and he has really hurt me!
I ignored Siddharth's phone calls after which I heard a knock on the door of my room.
"Pooja! Pooja!" I heard him saying.

Shaheer's POV
My eyes were red with anger as she went away. I have said so much to her but this is the only way I can deal with her right now. Maybe by loosing her! I was in my Reverie when my ammi yelled at me
"Shaheer kya yahi taleem di hai humne tumhe!? Itni pyaari bachi ko ese daant dia tumne. Hum yaha the..tumhare abbu yaha the.. kam se kam humari sharam ki hoti..!"
"Aapko kuch nahi pata to please!" I tried to stop her but instead my father got angry at me.
"Kya galat keh rahi hai tumhari amma? Ghar par vo sirf milne aayi thi humse..or ek baat apni frustration kisi or par nikalna bhut galat bat hai beta. Or kaam, is waqt tum khali ho or vo apne kaam se hi aayi hai..uski shooting hai Bhaderwah me. Or ek baat kis chiz ka guilt..? Haan?
Tum baccho ka aapsi mamla hai mai janta hu..par itni battameezi or besharmi mujhe tumse expected nhi thi! Aakhir kabse tum itne begairat hogye ke apne ammi abbu ke samne kisi se kese baat krni hai ye hi bhool gaye! Usko rula dia tumne!"
"Ek baat kahu beta..chahe vo tumhare or uske bich huye..bat ke liye hi kyu na aai ho..par uska maksad paak hai! Galti ki hai tumne aaj bahut badi..!"
I was crying by now as my ammi spoke that. I realised that I'm ruining things.
As I always do!

I was crying when my ammi entered my room! I adjusted my head in her lap as I cried more.
"Shaheer muje batao! Kya hua hai? beta!? Muje ghabraahat ho rahi hai!" As she asked, I was completely broken by then and told her all the things about my break up and how Pooja had been helping through out! How she helped me when I was high on the breakup night, how we laughed and cried together that night, how she left a note due to which I am here, how she shared my pain on the beach by just hugging me as I wept.
"Haaye allah or tumne us par gussa kia..! Vo yaha pakka tumhara hausla bhadaane aayi thi..taki tum humse sab share karo! Or naa jante hue bhi vo apna kaam kar gyi!"
"Matlab?"
"Kya tum apne breakup ke baare me muje batane wale the?"
"Nahi..mai yaha aapke pas bas thodi shanti ke liye aana chahta tha..some peace ammi..akele vaha Mumbai me bure khayal aate the!"
"Aaye bhi tum yaha Pooja ke letter ke vajah se or ab bhi mujhse sab share kia uski vajah se! Dekha!"
I raked hands through my hairs in anguish and self disappointment. What a big mistake I have committed!!? Oh God!!
"Ha.!" I trembled as I replied to my mumma.
"Vo yahi chahti thi ke tum muje sab bata do..par badle me itni bezaati nhi maangi thi usne tumse beta! Tumne hume to sharminda kia hi hai, uske samne par humari or apni izzat bhi gava di. Muje pata hai tum bhi gussa ho apne aap se par vo ye deserve nahi karti...! Vo kya deserve karti hai?" She asked me..
"Dunia ki saari khushiya or pyaar!"
I blurted not realising what my mom actually wanted me to say. She smirked at me.
"Ye to tum jaano beta..mai bas ye keh rahi thi ke tum usse maafi mango..vo ye zaroor deserve karti hai!" Ammi smiled at me coyly.
I face palmed myself mentally as I was caught! Par ek chiz hai ke mai aaj jo kuch bhi hu..usme se ek quality ye hai ke mai ek acha insaan hu.
Or vo sirf mere parents ki vajah se. I love them and owe them for making me a better person everyday. But saying a sorry to her is definitely not in my list. C'mon!! How can I face her now!!?
