k-I am a trouble, cant you understand?

s-No you are not..who said you are?

k- You said

s-eh...I?

k-You were sayin it to your bro...all pros and cons

Sujal chup

s-Yeah but...I..emm...emm..I am sorry..I didnt mean it

She narrows her eyes

k-Probably you didnt mean your thausandth I love you..and your sleeping around and flings. I am fed up !!!!!!!!!!! I am fed up of being in toxic relationships. Please go...you'll get many women, I know...much prettier and better women than me

s-I know you are not theprettiest..you are short and petite ..but still I love you

Kashish narrows her eyes

k-Sujal go. I dont wanna talk to you or see you ever. Let me live my life, live yours. I am just the flavour of the month for you, nothing more

Kashish was looking away whole time while saying

Koi awaaz nahi aai Sujal ki to idhar udhar dekha

Kashish neeche dekhti hai

Sujal is sitting on the floor on his knees

She wonders did she see a few drops of water on the floor

Is he crying?...She cant be sure as his head is down

k-Sujal..Sujal? I..are you...are you...? Get up...are you crying?

He shakes his head and rubs his face with his hand

s-I..I am sorry...dont leave me please. I...had always decided that...that...now people wont walk out on me...I will walk out on them. But please Kash...Kash..you..you..are precious. I cant bear it third time

Kashish looks at him quizically

Sujal was actually weeping

Kashish to hairaan si ho gai

She takes him in her embrace

k-Shhh...what has happened tell me

s-I never told anyone..ever..we dont have a dad coz...he walked out on us. One fine day..just..

He smirks

s-Then...then my wife

Kashish is shocked

k-Wife? You..your wife?

He nods

s-I got married 6 years ago

Kashish thoda peeche ho gai moving her hand away

Last thing she wanted was another relationship with a married man

Sujal looks at Kashish who has moved away

k-Biwi kahan hai aapki?

He looks down...

s-She left me on our marriage night...left with her boyfrnd. Then after few years that guy left her. She wanted to come back to me

k-That's good...aap uske saath apni zindagi shuru kijie

He stares at her and frowns harddd

s-Do you even know what you are saying?

k-You married her

s-Is marriage just about name..or it is about commitment, trust, love and respect? Don't you know that Kash?

k-But..I dont knw..if I am compatible. Our relationship doesnt have much of future and I dont wanna take you away from your family. I dont want an unhappy life for us...where we end up hating each other. I did lot of thinking...and counter thinking...imagining..if you would ever come back then..what would happen. I dunno how will it work?

s-You dont love me?

k-I love you..I really do but..marriage is a big thing

s-Then...? Be clear? Break up or hang on

k-30 day trial

s-What is that?

k-We will have a trial as a husband and wife but no physical relation. If it works then fine

s-Matlab tum mujhe uske baad chod dogi

Kashish looks at him...blankly

s-No..its better we break up...I love yo too much...but..you knaw what? I am a human...and I also have emotions ..I also feel..I also feel pain..I also get hurt

Sujal uthke chala gaya

k-Sujal ! Sujal !

Sujal chala gaya gusse se darwaza patak ke

But more dejected than angry

Kashish sits on the floor sad and feelng void

PART 63

k-Sujal ! Sujal !

Sujal chala gaya gusse se darwaza patak ke

But more dejected than angry

Kashish sits on the floor sad ab and feelng void

She tries callin him ...several times

Sujal phone nahi uthata

Kashish ia also wondering

Kitni baar phone kiya

Sujal phone naa uthaye

Kashish Ria ko kehti h.ai.ye ye kiya

Kashish bhi kya kare

Kashish rone lag gai ..ki ye keh dia

Ria Kashish ke pe chade jaye ki akal naa hai tujhmein ..ye wo

Udhar Sujal bechara sea shore pe pareshaan sa baitha hua tha brooding and glancing at the sea

He is sitting on the beach brooding looking hard and sad at the same time

A bunch of gypsy like peopl walk by and offer him a packet of grass or some rolled ciggis...

Sujal sochta hai koi usse uske khud ke liye nahi pasand karta hai..to kya jaa raha hai if he drinks and smokes'jisko pasand nahi hai.. usko to Sujal bhi pasand nahi naa..

Since he cant change whole of himself  to make her like him.. to ek cheech bhi change karne se kya ho jayega.. so maybe he can smoke some grass

Kyunki alcohol ki bottle so saath laaya nai..and smoking gives more saisfaction...

Also coz Kashish had disapproved and almost made im leave it... its sign of rebellion

Kisi ko kya pata ki cigrette pii raha hai ya grass..

Sujal to phone band karke baith gaya

Koi naa phone kare..naa family naa  bro naa Kash

Usse ab lagta hai ki yahi theek hai... they should be apart..

Bhale hi parting bitter thi but atleast ab aur hurt nahi karenge ek doosre ko

Sujal pii paake kuch der to wahan pad gaya

Par aas-paas zyada hi chakar chakar ho rahi thi to hotel chala gaya

Kashish saare frnd circle mein bol deti hai ki Sujal kahan hai, kahan hai

Two weeks ho gaye hain

Kashish ka to phone wo utha nahi raha tha

Zach jaata hai kuch der baad uske office mein  ki apni aur Ria ki shaadi hai...you are invited'plz plz aana

Sujal doesnt wanna go anywhere

He is tilted on saying no'

He doesn't wanna socialize

He jsut wanna retrieve to his shell

He hasnt even spoken to his family

May be he wld turn into a deppressed soul or an addcit and die some day'he hought

Daggers pierced his heart..whenever a thought about Kash would approach his heart

Wasn't there any way to delete the thoughts..he ouwld wonder

He says 'lets see. I will try' to Zach's invite

Ab Kashish roz Ria ka dimaag khaati hai ki kya hua..kuch kar naa'kya kaha usne

She really wanna go back to him

Ek din achanak dono Zach and Ria Sujal ke office mein pohonch jaate hain

Ab Ria Sujal ke peeche pad gai ki...Zach doesnt have anyone here..nor he  knowsa about Indian wear..tum uske lie shoppin karo..I love ur choice

Ria chipak gai Sujal se

Zach bhi..plz plz...its my wedding

Sujal says ok..

Wo bhi kya kare emotionally blackmail sa kiya ki meri shaadi hai plz plz

Sujal jaata hai dono ke saath

Sab idhar udhar dekh rahe hote hain

Zach ki shopping gai bhaad mein Ria junk jewellery dekhne lagti hai

Zach aur Ria nok jhok mein lage hue hain

Sujal side mein khada hai

'Hi everyone' Sujal hears a familiar voice and a soft hand holding him

Ria and Zach normalluy say hi to Kashish

They act as if sab normal hai Zach and Ria saath hain..Sujal and Kashish saath hain

Sujal is straight faced

Haath hata leta hai Kashish ka

Ria aur Zach aage agge chalne lagte hain

Kashish Sujal se chipak leti hai

Sujal is walking straight not looking at her

Sujal ne haath chudaya to kya hua...Kashish ne phir pakad liya

Sujal takes out his grss walla ciggi

k-Sujal !!!!

She goes to take it away

Par Sujal na dega ab ki nahi dega'har bari to he lets her tke it away..indulge karta tha..

k-Sujal..naraz ho?.. Sorry naa babu

She kisses his cheek

k-I love you

Sujal doesn't even twitch

Shopping karte hue Zach goes to change aur Ria bhi assist kar rahi hai

Sujal is stone faced all the while ignoring Kashish's existence

Kashish pulls him into a trial room and locks the door frm inside

She puts her arms around his neck
