It was the time of night, the roads were floating with the vehicles. The moon was glowing in the sky over the cafe where Muskan and karan were standing.
Person: what?
Karan looked behind Muskan and he was shocked. Muskan turned and was shocked to see Sameer who was standing at some distance and was shockingly looking at Muskan. Muskan gulps. She got worried. Karan looked at Muskan.
Sameer: what did you say?
Muskan was looking at Sameer and was nervous. Sameer came forward and stands in front of Muskan.
Sameer: Muskan, main tum se kuch poch raha hun? Kya kaha tum ne?
Muskan got scared.
Muskan: Sa, Sameer.
Muskan forwards her hand to hold Sameer's arm but her hands were shaking. She holds Sameer's arm. Sameer jerks his arm away. Muskan flinched. She was hurt. She looked at Sameer with teary eyes.
Sameer: maine jo pucha hai mujhe us ka jawab chahiye?
Karan: Sameer, yaar beth kar baat karte hain na.
Sameer shows his hand to Karan then he warns him. Muskan was fidgeting her finger by looking down. Muskan was thinking something.
Sameer: Karan, please, ye mere aur Muskan ke bich ki baat hai.
Karan looked down. Sameer looked at Muskan.
Sameer: bolo, Muskan.
Muskan was thinking.
Muskan in mind: Muskan, Sameer ko ek na ek din to batana hi tha na to wo din aaj kyun nahi. Bol de apne dil ki baat. Pata to usay waise bhi chal gaya hai to ab chupane ka koi faida bhi nahi hai.
Sameer was losing his temper.
Sameer: bolo, Muskan.
Muskan flinched. She looked at Sameer then she thinks by looking down. Muskan closed her eyes. She took a deep breath. Her heart was beating fast and felt her body is shaking. She gathered all her courage and strength. Muskan sighs deeply then she looked at Sameer.
Muskan: Sa, Sameer, I, I, I lllove yo, you.
Sameer was shocked. Muskan was looking at him.
Muskan: yes, Sameer, I love you, I really do. Mujhe nahi pata kab, kaha, kaise tum se pyaar ho gaya lekin jab se tumhe dekha hai tab se ek din bhi asa nahi guzra jab maine tumhare bare main socha na ho.
Sameer was shocked. Karan was facing Muskan's back. He was looking at her.
Muskan: jab bhi tum se milti hun to ek ajeeb si khushi milti hai mujhe, asa lagta hai koi hai meri life main koi hai jaise main apna keh sakti hun jo mera ha...
Sameer cuts him.
Sameer: bus, Muskan.
Muskan got scared. Sameer opened his eyes and looked up at Muskan who was looking at him.
Karan looked down because he knew that now Muskan's heart will break.
Sameer: bus.
Muskan was looking at Sameer. Sameer shook his head and took the steps back. Muskan got worried. She wanted to stop him. Sameer turns and was going.
Muskan: Sa, Sameer, Sameer.
Muskan runs behind him and holds his arm.
Muskan: Sameer, please listen to me.
Sameer jerks his arm. Muskan took her hand back.
Muskan: Sameer, at least meri baat to sun lo.
Sameer: dekho Muskan, mujhe nahi maloom ke kab se ye baat tumhare dil main thi lekin mere dil main tumhare liye asi koi feelings nahi hain.
Muskan was shocked and hurt.
Sameer: tumhe maine hamesha apni achi dost hi mana hai.
Muskan's eyes filled with tears. Sameer felt bad for her but he was also disappointed with Muskan.
Sameer: dekho Muskan, I am a married man and I love my wife very much.
Muskan was shocked. She felt like someone pulled the rug from under her feet. Karan was looking at Muskan.
Sameer: maine tumhe hamesha apna acha dost mana hai us se zyada kuch nahi. Maine apni zindagi main sirf ek hi larki se pyaar kiya hai aur hamesha usi se karta rahunga. Na us se pehle koi thi aur na us ke bad koi aur hogi.
Muskan looked down. She rolled her eyes because she was in shock.
Sameer: Muskan, main nahi janta ke mere kis act ne tumhe ye sochne per majboor kar diya ke main tum se pyaar karta hun.
Muskan shook her head.
Sameer: maine tumhe apna acha dost samjha aur tum ne is rishte main milawat kar di.
Muskan looked down. Sameer got angry.
Sameer: lekin galti tumhari nahi meri hai mujhe tum se distance mantain kar ke rakhna chahiye tha. Maine kabhi apni wife ke ilawa aur kisi larki ki taraf ankh utha kar nahi dekha.
Muskan squeezed her eyes. She clenched her dress. The word wife was hunting her.
Sameer: Tum mujhe alag lagi mujhe laga tum dusri larkiyun ki tarha nahi ho jo ye sochti hain ke ek larka larki kabhi dost nahi ho sakte. Tum ne meri dosti ka galat matlab nikal liya. Tum se ye expect nahi kiya tha maine, you really disappointed me today, really disappointed me, really.
Muskan was looking at him. Sameer shook his head and goes. Muskan was looking at him. She was not in a condition to say anything. Suddenly, the rain started and Muskan got drenched. She did not move from her place. She was shivering and her lips were trembling. She looked down then she looked in the direction where Sameer goes.
Karan came to her and he was shocked to see Muskan who was standing with a blank face. Karan talked to Muskan but didn't get a reply. He holds Muskan's both shoulders and takes Muskan to the shelter who was walking lifelessly. Karan ran to get the towel and something to cover Muskan. Muskan was standing there. Karan came to her and cover her with the shawl and wipes her hair with the towel.
Karan: Pagal ho gai hai kya? Ase barish main bhegne se sab theek ho jaega kya?
Karan looked at Muskan. Karan wants her reaction.
Karan: Asa bhi koi pahar nahi tot para ke tu itne shock main hai... tu sun bhi rahi hai main kya keh raha hun?
Muskan was in shock. She looked at Karan.
Muskan was sitting at the table keeping her arms on the table and was looking down. Someone kept a cup of tea in front of her. Muskan looked at the cup. It was Karan, he kept a cup at his side and sat.
Karan looked at Muskan.
Karan: Sameer ne jo tujhe bataya wo adha sach hai tujhe pura sach main batata hun.
Muskan looked at him. She thinks.
Muskan: kya Sameer sach main...
Muskan stopped and Karan nods. Muskan was shocked.
Karan: han, ye sach hai ke Sameer married hai lekin ye pura sach nahi hai balke sach to ye hai ke Sameer married hai nahi wo married tha.
Muskan frowns. Karan nods.
Karan: Us ki wife, Maya ki ek saal pehle ek car accident main maut hogai.
Muskan was shocked. Her mind has stopped working. Karan was looking at her and Muskan was looking at him with a frown on her head.
