Chapter 16: DARK SHADOWS OF LOVE

Maan couldnt control his volcano of emotions and smacked his lips on her and jerk open his eyes.

He realized, it was just a dream. Roshni was not around. He look carefully around and notice Roshni at a distance with her back towards Maan. She has spread her arms but look sad. He move closer to Roshni and put his hand on her shouder and turn her around. Her brown eyes have tears and darkness. She look blank towards Maan.. her red lips are now shivering and turn blue with cold.. her cheek were cold like ice. she seems like a dead face who have lost her glow...

.....

Maan jerked her..

Roshni .....Roshni... What happend Roshni.... Are you listening

Roshni look blankly towards Maan and brust into tears. She hugged him tightly and a storm of emotions start flowing.

Maan heart ached to see Roshni state. He hold her tightly like a savior who want to protect his queen from the dark and cruel world.

They stay in each other arms for hours.. He slowly caress her back and she hold him more tightly in return...

After sometime she realized and open her eyes.. She look up to his face which have many questions... the love....the care...the pain... She quickly step back and turn her face..and try to move ahead but Maan quickly hold her hand and pull her back..she fall on his chest..

She look towards his face in anger..

Roshni: Whats nonsense Maan....Leave my hand and *try to release herself from his hold..*

Maan tighten his grip on her wrist..Roshni what happen to you...Why I can feel the dark storm in your eyes.. why you are so rude and cruel with your emotions.

Roshni: * Shout* You are no one to ask me. I am not other girls who impress or affect with your touch.. Dont dare to touch me again.... Now leave my hand.. You are hurting me. she push him hard.

Maan:* angrily* Whats your problem. why you think me flirty and cheap. You have no idea about me. We met at Pinky party first time and still you have wrong opinions about me. Why you feel disgust when i come close....why so much hate for me...

Roshni: * glare* I dont care about you and never ever think about you...I hate you and your idealogies towards life.. Life is not what you chant stupid on your radio shows. Its harsh...it snatch your best love...your first and foremost love.. your life... it kills you inside, when you are to blame for every thing...you are to be cursed...but You will never understand the harsh realities of life. The one who take all things a kind of joke never know what is pain..how it feels when some touch reminds you bitter facts of life. *she have tears and her eyes were spitting fire..*.

Maan heard Roshni in shock..and leave her hand.

Roahni quickly ran towards car and slide in...

Maan move towards his car and start driving in silence. He asked for her home address and follow the directions as she told..

As they reach at Roshni house, she slowly whisper "Thank you" and open her side door..and move out.

Maan without looking towards Roshni drove away as she close car door.

Roshni shock for a minute but move inside her house where Ranu was standing and witness whole scene... She silently welcome Roshni and lock the door at the back..
