Sachin was all awake sitting on his bed. He was completely broken. The night seemed to him the longest night he had ever spent! He could remember the moment when he thought he lost his love of life and how she was there for him. Yes, she was there with him in every situation.

Tu usse kabhi bhul nahi sakta?... Apne aap ko kyun itni taqleef de raha hai tu?

Her words echoed into his ears. Suddenly her painful eyes came to his mind. The pain that he never tried to read. His heart felt pinched.

Tab laga tha ki maine apna pyar kho diya hai, aur uske liye hi mujhe yeh dard ho raha hai! Par agar woh dard tha, to yeh kya hai? Kyun ab mera ek ek saans itni lambi ho rahi hai? Kyun ab mere man se woh chehra jo main pichle do saal se bhulne ki koshish kar raha tha, woh gayab ho gaya? Kyun aaj mujhe aisa lag raha hai ke mujhe meri zindegi chin gayi hai! Aaj ek hi din me mujhe yeh ehsaas ho gaya ke tu meri zindegi ka hissa nahi, balki rooh thi. Aj jab mujhe pehli bar yeh laga ke shayad main tujhe kho diya, to mere liye ek ek pal jeena mushkil ho gaya. Pata nahi Kajal yeh kya hai. Agar jo main Neha ke liye feel karta tha woh pyar hai, to phir yeh kya hai?

He thought something and immediately got out of his bed. It was 3:00 am in the morning. But he did not care it anymore. He got the answer that he was searching for! He stormed out of the house.

Kajal was packing her bag. She had tears in her eyes. She wanted to go away from these for a while. But her doorbell rang suddenly. She rushed to her door and opened it. It was him - standing in front of her with red and swollen eyes. He was looking demented. Kajal inhaled deeply looking at him.

Kajal: (shockingly) S-S-Sachin - tu? Andar aa.

Sachin entered. He was still looking at her with the same expression that she could not comprehend. Sachin silently went inside and then he took a look at her attire, and the almost packed bag kept at the corner took his notice.

Sachin: Kaha jaa rahi hai tu?

Kajal was silent lowering her head.

Sachin: (a bit louder) Bata Kajal, kaha janewali thi tu, haan?

Kajal: (fumbling) woh - woh actually maine socha ke kuch din ke liye mummy ke paas ho kar -

Sachin: (cutting her furiously) tu pagal hai? aise kaise jaa sakti hai tu? (he held her by her shoulder now)

Kajal sensed something very much unusual with him. She thought to face him with the truth.

Kajal: (still in low tone) Mujhe laga ki -

Sachin: Kya? Kya laga tujhe?

Kajal: Yehi ki ab hume shayad kuch time ke liye ek dusre se door rehna hi behtar hoga -

Sachin: (deep tone) Tu reh pata mujhse door? Bol Kajal?

Kajal could not hold herself any more. She sat down into the sofa and hid her face into her palms. She started sobbing terribly. She felt warm hand around her, she turned without looking at him and started to shedding tear into his t-shirt.

Kajal: (still in sob) Jo bhi hua uske baad -

Sachin: Kya hua Kajal? Aisa kya galat hua humare beech?

Kajal looked at him in shock.

Sachin: (very clear but soft tone) Kya tu kabhi kisi aur ko yeh haq de sakti thi? nahi na?

Kajal lowered her head. She could hear her own heart beat now.

Kajal: (very low tone) Par tu to kisi aur se - (could not complete) Tune jo bhi kiya woh bas behoshi ki halat me -

Sachin: (painfully) Agar main sach me kisi aur se itna hi pyar karta, to phir uss halat me bhi maine tujhe hi kyun pukara? Phir kyun jab tu mere paas ayi, to laga ke sare dard gayab ho gaya, phir kyun tere saath hi maine apne zindegi ka sabse gehri aur peaceful neend soyi?

Kajal was now looking at him with a confused look, but her eyes were now brighter.

Sachin: (almost murmuring) Main buddhu hun, mujhe laga tha ki main uss Neha se pyar karta hun! Par woh pyar nahi tha -

He stopped and spread his arms to take her in. Kajal immediately threw herself into his open arms. She started shedding tears again, but this time it was not causing any pain. She felt her shirt was also getting wet with his tear.

Kajal: (within the hug) Yeh samjhne me tu itne saal laga di, buddhu!

Sachin did not reply but just hugged her even more tightly. After a while they separated from the hug. They both had the most beautiful smiles on their faces. Sachin cupped her face and softly kissed her forehead. She just closed her eyes. He placed two more soft kisses onto her both eyelids. He was staring at her - she was the person - his best friend - his love - his soul...

She stood up and went near the window. He was standing behind her.

Kajal: (Dreamily) Sunrise honewala hai -

Sachin: (Hugging her from behind) Hmmmmm - Aur subah ki cofee tere hath se - kya kehti hai?

Kajal turned around immediately smiling brightly!

Kajal: Aur dinner tere hath ka -

They both laughed together.

They both welcomed the new Sun - the beginning of a new journey...
