Update 98
Arjun ka room raat ke dheere se andhere me dubha hua tha. Kaam ke thakawat ke baad wo bed par phela hua tha, haath me phone le kar scroll kar raha tha, notifications ka ek chhota sa samundar uske screen par chamak raha tha. Tabhi uska dhyaan Ammu ki taraf gaya. Kafi din se na to usne Ammu se mulaqat ki thi, na koi baat hui thi.
Phone ki screen par Ammu ke missed calls ki lambi list thi. Arjun ka dil thoda bhar aaya, guilt aur fikr ke mix emotions uske chehre par dikh rahe the. Dheere se usne call ka button press kiya, par tabhi usse yaad aaya ki raat kaafi der ho chuki hai. Ammu shayad gehri neend me hogi.
Arjun ne phone ko side table par rakh diya, lambi saans li aur apni aankhen dheere se band kar li. Uske chehre par ek halka sa udaasi ka rang chhaya, par saath hi ek resolve bhi. Dil me ek khamosh promise tha—subah hote hi wo Ammu se zaroor baat karega, aur jo baatein chup rahi thi unhe samjhane ki koshish karega.
Room me khamoshi thi, bas raat ki halki hawa aur distant traffic ka shor sunai de raha tha. Arjun ne apni body ko thoda aur relax kiya, aur aankhen band karke, sirf sochne laga ki Ammu ke bina ye moments kaise adhoore lag rahe the.
Subah ki halki dhoop campus ke lawn par gir rahi thi, aur Zaheer aur Shanu apni rally ki taiyari me lag gaye the. Dono ka mood focused tha, lekin aankhon me ek chhoti si excitement bhi dikh rahi thi. Students, volunteers aur unki naye banayi team sab apne apne stations par khade the—banners, flags, aur slogan boards ready the.
Shanu clipboard pakad kar last-minute instructions de rahi thi, aur Zaheer team ke saath sound system aur music ka arrangement check kar raha tha. Dono ek dusre ke saath coordinated moves me kaam kar rahe the, jaise ki ek hi mind ke do hisson ki tarah.
Dopeher ka waqt pass kar raha tha, aur rally shuru hone wali thi. Camera perspective ke liye campus ke chhote-chhote corners me volunteers aur students rally ki energy ko feel kar rahe the, har jagah enthusiasm ka mahaul tha. Zaheer ne Shanu ki taraf dekha, ek confident smile ke saath, aur Shanu ne bhi aankhon me determination ke saath respond kiya.
Jaise hi rally ke liye signal diya gaya, team ne ek synchronized shout ke saath apni positions le li, aur campus me ek buzzing energy phail gayi—ab rally officially shuru hone wali thi.
Arjun apni party room me monitor ke saamne betha tha, ek haath se clipboard pakde aur doosre haath se mouse chalata hua, campus ki rally ki live monitoring kar raha tha. Kal ki rally ke baad aaj uske chehre par sukoon tha, aur dimag me ek hi soch chal rahi thi—Ammu se milna. Usne junior ko instructions diye ki campus ke sab angles se rally ka feedback dekhte rahe, aur wo khud kuch pal ke liye Ammu ke paas ja sake.
Jaise hi wo chair se uthta, ek ladka dauda dauda uske paas aaya, saans phooli hui, aur bolta hai
Ladka
Bhaiya ji… apne bola tha na, Zaheer par nazar rakhne ko. Mujhe… mujhe kuch mila hai.
Arjun
(ek kadam rukkar) Thodi der ruk, wapas aakar dekhte hain.
Ladka
Bhaiya ji… ek MMS hai.
Arjun ka kadam darwaze par ruk gaya. Ek thodi der ke liye hawa jaise tham gayi, dil ki dhadkan tez ho gayi. Dimag me pehla khayal—kya Zaheer ne Shanu ke saath…? Uske chehre par gussa aur chinta ki lakeerein saaf dikh rahi thi.
Arjun ne ek pal ke liye mood control ki koshish ki, fir ladke ke haath se mobile chhin liya. Screen on ki aur video play hua. Camera slow motion me Arjun ke face par zoom karta hai—chehre ki lines, aankhon ka tevar, haath ka halkasa tighten hona—har gesture gusse aur shock ka mixture dikha raha tha.
Uske muh se ek hi shabd nikalta hai behnchodddd
Campus ke open ground me Zaheer aur Shanu ki rally apni peak par thi. Stage ke upar Zaheer khada tha, microfone me apni awaaz bharte hue, aur har shabd me ek confidence aur determination dikh raha tha. Shanu stage ke side me, banners aur flags ke beech khadi, apni team ko motivate kar rahi thi, aur har student ke saath eye contact banakar unka trust jeet rahi thi.
Zaheer ka joshila bhashan aise tha ki students bas sunte hi ja rahe the, har gesture, har haath ki movement aur tevar itna powerful tha ki log naturally uske favor me aa rahe the. Crowd gradually swell ho raha tha, aur jo students pehle neutral ya hesitant the, wo bhi dheere dheere uske taraf attract ho rahe the.
Zaheer ke body language me ek leader ki clarity aur assertiveness thi; shoulders straight, head high, haath confident gestures me move kar rahe the. Shanu ke side me khadi team bhi ekdum energetic aur aligned thi, aur unka coordination rally ke energy ko aur amplify kar raha tha.
Dumdar music aur claps ke beech, Zaheer aur Shanu dono ek rhythm me rally lead kar rahe the, aur clearly dikh raha tha ki campus me ab unke momentum ko rokna mushkil hi nahi, namumkin ho gaya tha.
Rally ka mahol abhi apne peak par tha ki achanak se kuch log ground ke side se ghus aaye. Ye log clearly badmash aur aggressive lag rahe the, unke chehre par ek raw attitude tha, aur unka maksad sirf shor machana aur rally ka mahol bigadna tha.
Zaheer ne turant unki taraf dekha aur uski aankhon me gussa aur alertness dono aa gaya. Crowd bhi thoda hil gaya, lekin Zaheer apni leadership aur tevar se control banaye rakha. Shanu ne bhi stage ke side se unko observe kiya, aur apni team ko silently signal diya ki sab positions maintain karein aur students ko panic na hone de.
Badmash log posters cheer karte students ke samne push karne lage, kuch log banners aur flags todne ki koshish kar rahe the, aur rally ka rhythm thoda disturb hone laga. Zaheer apni awaaz ko aur powerful banakar un logon ke samne bolta, har shabd me ek warning aur determination, ki “Yahan koi chaos allow nahi hoga. Jo bhi disturb karna chahte ho, samajh lo, aaj ka din humare liye hai!”
Shanu ne bhi apni team ke saath milkar ground ke side me control maintain karne ki koshish ki, aur students ko calm karte hue rally ko phir se apni energy me le aayi. Crowd gradually Zaheer aur Shanu ke leadership me stabilize hone laga, lekin tension clearly mahol me dikh rahi thi.
Yeh scene rally ke thrilling aur intense moment ko highlight kar raha tha, jahan Zaheer aur Shanu ke tevar aur confidence hi sabko rally me focus aur energy me rakh raha tha.
Stage ke paas ab wo badmash log aa chuke the. Zaheer aur Shanu ne ek pal ke liye unhe observe kiya, dono ki aankhon me gussa aur alertness saaf dikh raha tha. Achaanak se badmash logon ne tamatar, ande, black color ke sponges aur kuch aur cheezein stage ki taraf fekni shuru kar di. Rally me aaye students idhar-udhar bhag khade hue, cheekhte hue aur confusion me ghum rahe the.
Zaheer ne turant apni presence of mind dikhayi. Usne Shanu ko apni taraf kheench liya, stage ke ek kone me, aur apne haath se usse protect karte hue ek suraksha ka shield bana diya. Shanu ke chehre par darr aur tension thi, lekin Zaheer ki presence aur tevar se thoda sukoon mila.
Kuch hi der me rally ka maidan gradually clear ho gaya, students ya to stage ke side safe position me chale gaye ya field se door chale gaye. Badmash logon ka impact thoda kam hua, lekin unka aggression ab bhi maidan me mehsoos ho raha tha. Zaheer ne rally ko fir se stabilize karne ke liye students ko signal diya aur Shanu ko firmly apne side rakha, jaise wo uska suraksha kawach ban chuka ho.
Sham ka waqt tha, aur Arjun shanu ke kamre ki khidki ke paas cigarette ka dhuan hawa me uda raha tha. Uske chehre par ek halki si thakan thi, lekin aankhon me ek intense focus tha. Shanu ka intezar kar raha tha—dil me ek anjaani si bechaini aur excitement dono. Har cigarette puff ke saath uska dimag chal raha tha, strategies, election aur Ammu ke bare me, par sabse zyada Shanu ka khayal.
Parallel scene me Shanu apni rally ke baad Zaheer aur apni team ke saath baithi hui thi. Taz, Priya aur naye students bhi unke saath the. Sab log aaj ke hamle aur rally me aaye badmash logon ke attack ka zikr kar rahe the, Zaheer aur Shanu discuss kar rahe the ki kaise rally me discipline aur coordination se situation handle karni hogi, aur kaise students ne panic me bhi apna balance banana hoga
Kuch der ki planning aur discussion ke baad Zaheer ne Shanu se kaha, chalo ghar chalte hai, aur team bhi unka saath deti hui slowly disperse ho gayi. Shanu ne ek last nazar team par dali aur phir Zaheer ke saath ghar ki taraf nikal padi.
Aur wahi time Arjun shanu ke room me cigarette ki last puff le raha tha, aankhein khidki ke bahar, jaise har ek footstep ka intezar kar raha ho. Door se Shanu ke ghar ki taraf kadam sunai diye, aur Arjun ki aankhon me ek halka sa gussa aaya or uski aankhein laal ho gayi
Shanu dheere se apne room ka darwaza khol kar enter hui, thodi thaki hui aur tense lag rahi thi. Arjun usi waqt uski taraf ghurta hua khada tha, aankhon me aag, haath me phone.
Arjun
Tum… ye kya kar rahi thi? Tumne apne hi bhai ko aur… aur mujhe itna… itna dhoka kaise de sakti ho?
Shanu thodi ghabrakar apna phone pockets me rakhti hai, par Arjun ka gussa us par baras raha tha.
Arjun
Aur ye Zaheer… woh… uss kutte ne tumhe…
Shanu
(aurat ke andaaz me interrupt karti hai)
Arjun, ruk! Tum kuch bhi samajh nahi rahe ho! Tumhe poora sach pata hi nahi!
Arjun ka chehra aur zyada kathin ho gaya, haath jhool kar, gussa aur disappointment dono mila hua.
Arjun
Sach? Tum mujhe defend kar rahi ho uske liye? Yeh kya ho raha hai?
Shanu
(stand karte hue, tez awaaz me)
Haan! Aur main qubool karti hoon, Arjun! Haan, Zaheer aur mera rishta hai! Aur agar tumhe isse problem hai, toh tumhe samajhna hoga ki main apne decisions khud leti hoon!
Arjun aur Shanu ek dusre ke samne khade, dono ke emotions high, words tez aur tevar intense.
Arjun
(Tension me)
Tumhe samajh nahi aayega! Tumhari ye harkat… main kabhi maaf nahi karunga!
Aur phir ek pal me, gussa aur frustration me, Arjun ka haath Shanu ke chehre par chal gaya—ek slap. Shanu ki aankhon me surprise aur dard, aur wo pal bhar me apne bed ki taraf girti hai.
Shanu
(Aahiste se, dard ke saath)
Arjun…
Arjun
(gusse me, darwaza zor se patak kar)
Mujhe abhi ke liye yahi karna tha…
Aur wo waha se chala jata hai, room me khamoshi chha jati hai. Shanu apni bed par, dil me dard aur aankhon me aansu, sirf uski khamoshi aur dhadkan sun rahi hoti hai.
Arjun apne ghar ka darwaza zor se band karke bahar nikal gaya, gussa aur frustration ke mix me chal raha tha. Raat ka thanda hawa uske chehre par maar rahi thi, par uske andar ka gussa abhi thanda nahi hua tha. Har kadam ke saath uske dimag me sirf ek hi cheez ghoom rahi thi—Shanu aur Zaheer ka rishta, aur uska apne saath dhoka mehsoos karna.
Wahi Shanu apne kamre me bed par bethi thi, aankhon me aansu aur dil me confusion. Phone uske samne pad raha tha—Zaheer ka naam bar bar flash ho raha tha. Har call aur message uske kaam aur rally ki strategy se related tha, par Shanu ne ab tak koi jawab nahi diya. Wo sirf bed me head rest karke sust ho gayi thi, apne dil ki gungunahat me doobi hui, aur sirf Zaheer ke phone ki vibration uske haath se hilti thi.
Zaheer har call pe ummeed se phone uthata, par har baar disappointment ke saath vo voice mail me chala jata. Uska dimag ab Shanu ke reaction aur rally ke baaki ka kaam dono me phasa hua tha. Shanu ki aankhen band thi, par uske mann me ek hi thought ghoom rahi thi—Abhi tak Arjun ka gussa aur uska apne decisions ke liye darr.
Raat ka sannata tha, sirf chhat se aati halki hawa ka shor tha. Zaheer dheere dheere Shanu ke kamre ka darwaza kholta hai aur andar jaata hai. Bed par Shanu susti hui, aankhen band, body relaxed, lekin uske chehre par kuch gadbad ka ehsaas hota hai. Zaheer uske paas aata hai
Zaheer
Shanu… uth jao, kya hua?
Shanu koi jawab nahi deti, sirf bed me lehti rehti hai. Zaheer thoda panic me aata hai aur gently uske shoulder ko hilata hai.
Zaheer
Shanu, meri baat sun rahi ho? Kya hua, batao na…
Zaheer ka nazar uske chehre par padta hai aur wo thoda sa ruk jata hai. Shanu ke gaal par laal nishan tha—ek slap ka nishan, abhi tak taaza aur dikh raha tha.
Zaheer ka expression badal jata hai, dar aur gussa dono mix ho jate hain.
Zaheer
Shanu… yeh kya hai? Kya kisi ne tumhe…? Kuch to batao, please!
Shanu phir bhi chup rehti hai, sirf aankhen band kar rakhti hai, aur Zaheer helpless aur tense ho kar uske paas baith jata hai, haath uske haath par rakhta hai aur dheere se repeat karta hai:
Zaheer
Shanu… kuch to bolo na… please…
Pura kamra silent tha, sirf Zaheer ki ghabrahat aur Shanu ki chup si reh gai.
Arjun apne party ke office me apne party ke kuch logon ke saath beth kar sharab pee raha hai. Mood abhi bhi tense aur gussa bhara hai. Ek ladka jo MMS lekar aaya tha, darr ke maare corner me khada hai.
Arjun
Yeh ladka… aao yahan.
Ladka kaanp raha hota hai, ghabrahat se Arjun ke samne aata hai.
Arjun
Sun… ye jo bhi hai, kisi ko ek lafz bhi nahi batana. Tum samajh rahe ho? Agar ye leak hua to… tumhe yaad rahe mera gussa kaise hota hai.
Ladka sir hilata hai, dar se uski baat maan leta hai.
Arjun glass uthata hai aur ek sip leta hai, aankhon me abhi bhi wo intense gussa aur planning ki chamak rehti hai.
Raat bahut gehri ho chuki thi. Shanu apne bed par abhi bhi chup chaap padi thi, aankhon me aansuon ki nami thi. Zaheer uske paas baith gaya, uske galle par laal mark ko dheere se chhukar dekhta hai. Uska dil gusse se bhar gaya, par Shanu ki halat dekh kar wo apne aap ko control karta hai.
Zaheer
Shanu… yeh sab tujhe akela jhelne ki zarurat nahi hai. Main hoon na tere saath. Bata na mujhe, kya hua tha?
Shanu aankhen band kar ke sirf uski awaaz sunti hai, kuch bolti nahi. Zaheer uske dono haath pakad leta hai aur uske kareeb jhuk kar pyaar se kehta hai.
Zaheer
Main kasam khata hoon… chahe jo bhi ho jaye, main tujhe kabhi akela nahi chhodunga. Kisi ke saamne tujhe jhukne nahi dunga. Tu meri hai, Shanu… sirf meri.
Shanu ki aankhen dhire dhire bhar aati hain. Wo uth kar Zaheer ke seene se lag jaati hai, jaise saari thakan aur dard us ek pal me nikal gaya ho.
Shanu
Zaheer… tu hai na… bas mujhe aur kuch nahi chahiye. Main thak gayi hoon sabse ladte ladte, par tere bina ek pal bhi soch nahi sakti. Jo bhi ho… humesha saath dena mera.
Zaheer uske baalon me apna haath ghumata hai aur uske mathhe par ek pyara sa kiss kar deta hai.
Zaheer
Hamesha… marne ke baad bhi.
Dono ek dusre ki baahon me chup chaap baithe rehte hain. Shanu ke aansu ab aram se ruk gaye the, aur uske chehre par pehli baar ek halka sa sukoon tha.
Arjun ka room raat ke dheere se andhere me dubha hua tha. Kaam ke thakawat ke baad wo bed par phela hua tha, haath me phone le kar scroll kar raha tha, notifications ka ek chhota sa samundar uske screen par chamak raha tha. Tabhi uska dhyaan Ammu ki taraf gaya. Kafi din se na to usne Ammu se mulaqat ki thi, na koi baat hui thi.
Phone ki screen par Ammu ke missed calls ki lambi list thi. Arjun ka dil thoda bhar aaya, guilt aur fikr ke mix emotions uske chehre par dikh rahe the. Dheere se usne call ka button press kiya, par tabhi usse yaad aaya ki raat kaafi der ho chuki hai. Ammu shayad gehri neend me hogi.
Arjun ne phone ko side table par rakh diya, lambi saans li aur apni aankhen dheere se band kar li. Uske chehre par ek halka sa udaasi ka rang chhaya, par saath hi ek resolve bhi. Dil me ek khamosh promise tha—subah hote hi wo Ammu se zaroor baat karega, aur jo baatein chup rahi thi unhe samjhane ki koshish karega.
Room me khamoshi thi, bas raat ki halki hawa aur distant traffic ka shor sunai de raha tha. Arjun ne apni body ko thoda aur relax kiya, aur aankhen band karke, sirf sochne laga ki Ammu ke bina ye moments kaise adhoore lag rahe the.
Subah ki halki dhoop campus ke lawn par gir rahi thi, aur Zaheer aur Shanu apni rally ki taiyari me lag gaye the. Dono ka mood focused tha, lekin aankhon me ek chhoti si excitement bhi dikh rahi thi. Students, volunteers aur unki naye banayi team sab apne apne stations par khade the—banners, flags, aur slogan boards ready the.
Shanu clipboard pakad kar last-minute instructions de rahi thi, aur Zaheer team ke saath sound system aur music ka arrangement check kar raha tha. Dono ek dusre ke saath coordinated moves me kaam kar rahe the, jaise ki ek hi mind ke do hisson ki tarah.
Dopeher ka waqt pass kar raha tha, aur rally shuru hone wali thi. Camera perspective ke liye campus ke chhote-chhote corners me volunteers aur students rally ki energy ko feel kar rahe the, har jagah enthusiasm ka mahaul tha. Zaheer ne Shanu ki taraf dekha, ek confident smile ke saath, aur Shanu ne bhi aankhon me determination ke saath respond kiya.
Jaise hi rally ke liye signal diya gaya, team ne ek synchronized shout ke saath apni positions le li, aur campus me ek buzzing energy phail gayi—ab rally officially shuru hone wali thi.
Arjun apni party room me monitor ke saamne betha tha, ek haath se clipboard pakde aur doosre haath se mouse chalata hua, campus ki rally ki live monitoring kar raha tha. Kal ki rally ke baad aaj uske chehre par sukoon tha, aur dimag me ek hi soch chal rahi thi—Ammu se milna. Usne junior ko instructions diye ki campus ke sab angles se rally ka feedback dekhte rahe, aur wo khud kuch pal ke liye Ammu ke paas ja sake.
Jaise hi wo chair se uthta, ek ladka dauda dauda uske paas aaya, saans phooli hui, aur bolta hai
Ladka

Arjun ne ek pal ke liye mood control ki koshish ki, fir ladke ke haath se mobile chhin liya. Screen on ki aur video play hua. Camera slow motion me Arjun ke face par zoom karta hai—chehre ki lines, aankhon ka tevar, haath ka halkasa tighten hona—har gesture gusse aur shock ka mixture dikha raha tha.

Shanu stage ke side me, banners aur flags ke beech khadi, apni team ko motivate kar rahi thi, aur har student ke saath eye contact banakar unka trust jeet rahi thi.
Zaheer ka joshila bhashan aise tha ki students bas sunte hi ja rahe the, har gesture, har haath ki movement aur tevar itna powerful tha ki log naturally uske favor me aa rahe the. Crowd gradually swell ho raha tha, aur jo students pehle neutral ya hesitant the, wo bhi dheere dheere uske taraf attract ho rahe the.
Zaheer ke body language me ek leader ki clarity aur assertiveness thi; shoulders straight, head high, haath confident gestures me move kar rahe the. Shanu ke side me khadi team bhi ekdum energetic aur aligned thi, aur unka coordination rally ke energy ko aur amplify kar raha tha.
Dumdar music aur claps ke beech, Zaheer aur Shanu dono ek rhythm me rally lead kar rahe the, aur clearly dikh raha tha ki campus me ab unke momentum ko rokna mushkil hi nahi, namumkin ho gaya tha.

Stage ke paas ab wo badmash log aa chuke the. Zaheer aur Shanu ne ek pal ke liye unhe observe kiya, dono ki aankhon me gussa aur alertness saaf dikh raha tha. Achaanak se badmash logon ne tamatar, ande, black color ke sponges aur kuch aur cheezein stage ki taraf fekni shuru kar di. Rally me aaye students idhar-udhar bhag khade hue, cheekhte hue aur confusion me ghum rahe the.
Zaheer ne turant apni presence of mind dikhayi. Usne Shanu ko apni taraf kheench liya, stage ke ek kone me, aur apne haath se usse protect karte hue ek suraksha ka shield bana diya. Shanu ke chehre par darr aur tension thi, lekin Zaheer ki presence aur tevar se thoda sukoon mila.
Kuch hi der me rally ka maidan gradually clear ho gaya, students ya to stage ke side safe position me chale gaye ya field se door chale gaye.

Sab log aaj ke hamle aur rally me aaye badmash logon ke attack ka zikr kar rahe the, Zaheer aur Shanu discuss kar rahe the ki kaise rally me discipline aur coordination se situation handle karni hogi, aur kaise students ne panic me bhi apna balance banana hoga
Kuch der ki planning aur discussion ke baad Zaheer ne Shanu se kaha, chalo ghar chalte hai, aur team bhi unka saath deti hui slowly disperse ho gayi. Shanu ne ek last nazar team par dali aur phir Zaheer ke saath ghar ki taraf nikal padi.

Shanu thodi ghabrakar apna phone pockets me rakhti hai, par Arjun ka gussa us par baras raha tha.
Arjun
Aur ye Zaheer… woh… uss kutte ne tumhe…
Shanu
(aurat ke andaaz me interrupt karti hai)
Arjun, ruk! Tum kuch bhi samajh nahi rahe ho! Tumhe poora sach pata hi nahi!
Arjun ka chehra aur zyada kathin ho gaya, haath jhool kar, gussa aur disappointment dono mila hua.
Arjun
Sach? Tum mujhe defend kar rahi ho uske liye? Yeh kya ho raha hai?
Shanu
(stand karte hue, tez awaaz me)
Haan! Aur main qubool karti hoon, Arjun! Haan, Zaheer aur mera rishta hai! Aur agar tumhe isse problem hai, toh tumhe samajhna hoga ki main apne decisions khud leti hoon!
Arjun aur Shanu ek dusre ke samne khade, dono ke emotions high, words tez aur tevar intense.

Tumhe samajh nahi aayega! Tumhari ye harkat… main kabhi maaf nahi karunga!
Aur phir ek pal me, gussa aur frustration me, Arjun ka haath Shanu ke chehre par chal gaya—ek slap. Shanu ki aankhon me surprise aur dard, aur wo pal bhar me apne bed ki taraf girti hai.
Shanu
(Aahiste se, dard ke saath)

Aur wo waha se chala jata hai, room me khamoshi chha jati hai. Shanu apni bed par, dil me dard aur aankhon me aansu, sirf uski khamoshi aur dhadkan sun rahi hoti hai.
Arjun apne ghar ka darwaza zor se band karke bahar nikal gaya, gussa aur frustration ke mix me chal raha tha.

Wahi Shanu apne kamre me bed par bethi thi, aankhon me aansu aur dil me confusion. Phone uske samne pad raha tha—Zaheer ka naam bar bar flash ho raha tha. Har call aur message uske kaam aur rally ki strategy se related tha, par Shanu ne ab tak koi jawab nahi diya. Wo sirf bed me head rest karke sust ho gayi thi, apne dil ki gungunahat me doobi hui, aur sirf Zaheer ke phone ki vibration uske haath se hilti thi.
Zaheer har call pe ummeed se phone uthata, par har baar disappointment ke saath vo voice mail me chala jata. Uska dimag ab Shanu ke reaction aur rally ke baaki ka kaam dono me phasa hua tha. Shanu ki aankhen band thi, par uske mann me ek hi thought ghoom rahi thi—Abhi tak Arjun ka gussa aur uska apne decisions ke liye darr.
Raat ka sannata tha, sirf chhat se aati halki hawa ka shor tha. Zaheer dheere dheere Shanu ke kamre ka darwaza kholta hai aur andar jaata hai. Bed par Shanu susti hui, aankhen band, body relaxed, lekin uske chehre par kuch gadbad ka ehsaas hota hai. Zaheer uske paas aata hai

Shanu phir bhi chup rehti hai, sirf aankhen band kar rakhti hai, aur Zaheer helpless aur tense ho kar uske paas baith jata hai, haath uske haath par rakhta hai aur dheere se repeat karta hai:
Zaheer
Shanu… kuch to bolo na… please…
Pura kamra silent tha, sirf Zaheer ki ghabrahat aur Shanu ki chup si reh gai.
Arjun apne party ke office me apne party ke kuch logon ke saath beth kar sharab pee raha hai. Mood abhi bhi tense aur gussa bhara hai. Ek ladka jo MMS lekar aaya tha, darr ke maare corner me khada hai.
Arjun
Yeh ladka… aao yahan.
Ladka kaanp raha hota hai, ghabrahat se Arjun ke samne aata hai.
Arjun
Sun… ye jo bhi hai, kisi ko ek lafz bhi nahi batana. Tum samajh rahe ho? Agar ye leak hua to… tumhe yaad rahe mera gussa kaise hota hai.
Ladka sir hilata hai, dar se uski baat maan leta hai.
Arjun glass uthata hai aur ek sip leta hai, aankhon me abhi bhi wo intense gussa aur planning ki chamak rehti hai.
Raat bahut gehri ho chuki thi. Shanu apne bed par abhi bhi chup chaap padi thi, aankhon me aansuon ki nami thi. Zaheer uske paas baith gaya, uske galle par laal mark ko dheere se chhukar dekhta hai. Uska dil gusse se bhar gaya, par Shanu ki halat dekh kar wo apne aap ko control karta hai.
Zaheer
Shanu… yeh sab tujhe akela jhelne ki zarurat nahi hai. Main hoon na tere saath. Bata na mujhe, kya hua tha?
Shanu aankhen band kar ke sirf uski awaaz sunti hai, kuch bolti nahi. Zaheer uske dono haath pakad leta hai aur uske kareeb jhuk kar pyaar se kehta hai.
Zaheer
Main kasam khata hoon… chahe jo bhi ho jaye, main tujhe kabhi akela nahi chhodunga. Kisi ke saamne tujhe jhukne nahi dunga. Tu meri hai, Shanu… sirf meri.
Shanu ki aankhen dhire dhire bhar aati hain. Wo uth kar Zaheer ke seene se lag jaati hai, jaise saari thakan aur dard us ek pal me nikal gaya ho.
Shanu
Zaheer… tu hai na… bas mujhe aur kuch nahi chahiye. Main thak gayi hoon sabse ladte ladte, par tere bina ek pal bhi soch nahi sakti. Jo bhi ho… humesha saath dena mera.
Zaheer uske baalon me apna haath ghumata hai aur uske mathhe par ek pyara sa kiss kar deta hai.
Zaheer
Hamesha… marne ke baad bhi.
Dono ek dusre ki baahon me chup chaap baithe rehte hain. Shanu ke aansu ab aram se ruk gaye the, aur uske chehre par pehli baar ek halka sa sukoon tha.
