”Jab koi baat bigad jayee”...!! 3

Both Sneha and Dhruv talked silently with their hearts. Sneha had hundred of things that chased her  heart. This time, she didn’t think of her, she only thought of Dhruv. Soon after this, the clouds poured anxious yet endless curtains of tears from the heaven. May be, it was appropriate, but they didn’t notice the drop falling because it made their inner hearts pour harder. It was a white noise which was not purely empty, rather silence filled the atmosphere. Yes it was rain, rain that was sadder still, yet it had many emotions. Dhruv who was deep in his thoughts, still noticed something. He looked to his right and saw Sneha completely drenched. Her hair got entangled with water and she appeared like that morning mist which only had fresh charm of innocence.  Her saree appeared so comforting as if it was wrapping her with silence and her face had that shinning reflection which was missing in the past. But, this rain made the cold breeze groove her body and she started shivering. Dhruv covered her arms with his jacket and again his gaze shifted to her. Her glossy lips had few water droplets which made her look more charming and most important he noticed her eyes. Her eyes were raining deeply with those dark fears and wounds which were difficult to get healed. Dhruv caught her tears in his palm and both shared an intense eyelock towards each other. This tear was so precious for him as if it had the life’s agony of her pain and struggle. He wanted to render her wounds by his pious love. He wanted her to make so strong that no one can again penetrate her wounded heart. He wanted to take revenge from the one who made her very delicate; physically, mentally and emotionally. It was very harder, may be harder than his death, but still those tears brought words to his love. 

It seemed as if both had love for each other, but it appeared as if both of them have learned that silence has a quality and dimension all its own. The blowing wind was adding feelings to the word and the world. As it was stopped raining, the sky got occupied with a diamond moon and stars.  May be sometimes it cannot be as simple as to let go your universe which demanded only love and enough feelings. She stood up and walked two steps apart from him. It was her last trace of tear that fell on the street. After a second, she felt that same soft, yet hard muscular hand touched her palm. She looked back and yes, it was Dhruv. She had that visible emotion on her face which solely depicted how pure her love was for him.  He stood up and he moved her left blowing hair behind her ear. He cupped her so immensely that her tears again started trickling down the cheeks. He wiped these tears and drew little close to her. He held her firmly and kissed her softly on her forehead. Sneha closed her eyes and she tried hard to memorize this moment. Just for that moment, the world now appeared universe to her. His love completely touched her bones and she got relieved in his serenity. 

She appeared more beautiful in the diamond moonlight and when she opened her eyes, she saw him looking at her. Taking the courage, she asked,’ What happened Dhruv? Why did you stop me?’  ‘Shsssshh….!’ he replied. Sneha stood calmly looking at him. He uttered,’ You know Sneha, even after your confession, everything is just the same, only my mutual feelings have changed. My feelings have grown even stronger than yesterday.  The words you said today, stole my heart.  It’s very difficult for me to even understand the things you’ve been through. Like every man, even I came to know that pain is so evil and dangerous. But, Sneha I was wrong and you made me realize that pain had feelings, which makes people lose their realities. Your confession took to me to face the reality and feel the pain. Rather, it made me to stand up and love you more every day. Your pain captured my heart so intensely that the fear of your separation had stood beside me. Yeahhh…I know I cannot mend the things happened, but I promise to mend them atleast once’.  Sneha who looked at him with satisfaction replied, ’But  Dhruv, real world is different and  at times bitter ’. ‘But, I would want to have this bitter time with you lady. I don’t want to know the real world when I have my real universe with me and my universe starts from you and will solely die with you’, he ended.  She rested her head towards his chest and hugged him very tightly and replied, ’I’m sorry Dhruv because I acted so cruel and thoughtlessly’. ‘You know Sneha, sometimes, it’s not about acting cruel, but more than that it’s about loving so much thoughtlessly .  I love you Sneha and will love you forever’, he said wrapping her warmly. ‘Love you too Dhruv’, she replied with that peace which carried her pain and fear.  Atlast, the two hearts looked so happy even the moon smiled and wrapped them warmly with a soft blanket of shimmering roof.
