Its also difficult for me to decide between Arjun and Aditya
Lets see…
At evening,
Mom:let’s leave for a trip, you will feel relaxed.
Adi:I am going to Mumbai,tomorrow.
Mom:for what?
Adi: Maya’s wedding is scheduled.
Mom: so..
Adi: she will be leaving to singapore after wedding. So I have to see her for one last time.
Mom: this is an excuse. You are hoping that Maya will become yours.
Adi: but please…
Mom: think once, if Maya sees you there?
Adi:I will have a glance of her and will return. I will not meet her.
Mom:still don’t go,you will be hurt if you see all that.
Adi:I will become emotionally strong,if I see all that.
Mom:enough of you being strong. If you witness that, you feel like 1000 men are stabbing you with knives. So don’t go.
Lakshmi walks away. Aditya sits upset.
At night,
Adi is sleeping…
Mom:I am sorry. It’s for the first time I am asking you not do a thing you wanted. It’s for your good.
She leaves kissing his forehead.
Next morning,
Lakshmi notices Adi missing from his room.
Aditya calls her.
Adi:for the first time ever,I am going against your words. I am sorry. Bye
Mom:adi, please…
Adi cuts the call and switches off the phone.
Mom stands upset.
Mumbai,
Aditya gets into the hall. He walks his head down hiding his tears. He sits somewhere, slowly lifts his head up and looks at the stage. Maya is standing with Arjun. Arjun is talking something to her. Maya stands expressionless. Aditya gets teary eyed seeing Maya.
Before Maya sees him, he walks lost. He collides with kusum.
Kusum:oh brother!when did you come?
Adi: it has been 28 years!
Kusum: so funny! Maya is with Arjun. Come let’s meet her.
Adi:No,she is busy.
Kusum: friends first, we are first priority.
Kusum drags Aditya with her, Aditya defends. He sees Maya looking at him teary eyed. He couldn’t hold back.
He walks to them.
Aditya: wish you a happy married life.
Arjun:thank you.
They shake hands.
Aditya:you look perfect together.
Arjun laugh. Maya is teary eyed.
Kusum: selfie?
Aditya stands beside Maya and they pose.
Arjun:thank you for coming, please have your dinner.
Maya is looking at him…
Adi:yes…welcome.
He walks away heart broken.
Arjun:do you know him?
Maya is silent.
Saanjh: it will be over within 10 minutes.
Arjun: 10 more minutes!
Saanjh: give a company to my dear Maya.
She leaves.
Arjun sees Maya and smiles… He holds her hand and presses thrice like the way he used to do before..
Arjun: I love you maya…
Maya doesn’t reciprocate, she is silent.
Arjun:you know how to reply,right?
Maya holds back her tears and sobs.
Arjun doesn’t find it right.
Arjun drags her from there…
After sometimes,
Arjun:I never should have recovered. All three of us would have lived peacefully…
Maya cries…
Arjun:you go ahead to end your life when I was no more. But he taught you how to live without me and started a new phase of life. If you marry me,you will continue to live your life. But with him, you will enjoy your life. It’s hurting to say, but it’s for your good. Go…
Maya looks at him surprised.
Arjun:instead of you both suffering because of me,it’s better for me to suffer for both of you. Please go.
Maya cries. Arjun looks away and weeps.
Next morning…
Maya arrives at Aditya’s house. She sees his friend Niel,whom she has met before.
She smiles looking at him…
Maya:Has Adi gone out?
Niel:don’t you know what happened?
Maya:kya hua?
FB….
Aditya reaches his house after attending wedding party.
House has been crowded… He walks in and sees his mom dead,
Uncle:she suffered a massive cardiac arrest, we are sorry. Your phone was also switched off.
Adi:can you ask everyone to go out?
Everyone leaves… Aditya goes and sit beside Lakshmi. He is broken… He takes the letter from his purse and starts to read,
Adi:do you know why I always call you Lakki?
Aditya keeps her hand on his hair like she used to do…
Adi: whenever I call you Lakki, I remind myself how lucky I have to be born as your son. Thank you Lakki for being my mother.
Adi looks at her and screams Maaa… He cries loud…
Adi;I shouldn’t have left you, you told me not to. I should have listened.
Adi sobs and screams in pain.
Reality…
Maya is teary eyed.
Maya:where is he now?
They set out in search of him…
He is nowhere to be found.
Someone inform him seeing him. They rushes to the location tensed.
Aditya is seen sitting in the railway track.
Adi:you taught me everything, but you didn’t taught me, how to live without her.
Maya is tensed, Niel is driving as fast as possible.
Adi:I want peace, permanent peace… this is the end.
Maya prays for him and sobs.
Adi:in the end, I pray for only one thing. Make sure Maya is always happy and peaceful…
Aditya closes his eyes and waits for the train….
Maya runs to him…
Maya:Adi…
Aditya hears and turns…
Maya feels relieved to find him safe… she smiles…
Aditya confused..
Adi:Maya….
Train hits him…. ( he didn’t moved from the track)
Maya stands shocked….
Fate may have something else stored in for her….
NOT TO BE CONTINUED!!!
