Priya 5

Priya: Tell him,there is no Priya here…(Thinks again)..Errrr!!! Wait..Tell him she is coming…(she decides that she will tell him on face that don’t bother me and I don’t want to talk to you anymore)

Priya goes out…

Ashish smiles on seeing her.He was looking miserable.(Priya wanted to smile too,she was seeing him after so long,how much she had been missing to see that face and now it’s in front of her,she just wanted to go and hug him tight and ask him why he came so late,but she controlled her sudden gust of emotions and came back to reality)

Priya giving him a serious look with no expressions(infact angst)

Ashish: Hi Pri,How are you???What’s happening?Why are you doing all this????

Priya: Ashu you only said you want a breakup and I am doing exactly the same,what you wanted,I am giving it to you without any complaint.What’s your problem now?

(thinking oh Ashu you are looking so miserable,what happened to you,what have you made yourself,why are you doing all this?)

Ashish: I never said that you should stop talking to me.I want us to be friends forever.

Priya: Don’t start this bullshit of friendship again.It is not possible you know.Anything else you want to say.If not then let me tell you.I do not want to talk to you ever again or see your face.Kindly leave me alone.This is the last time you are seeing me.

Ashish:Bakwaas mat kar yr..This ain’t going to happen.I can’t survive without talking to you.You know I have been coming daily and watching that the room in your light is switched off,I have been calling you daily on your old number(shows his call logs)What do you think I am idiot that I am doing so???

Priya: Ashu,don’t do all this.Why are you doing all this if you don’t want me ?One day you will get married to someone else and I to someone else then you will stop talking right?Then why not today?

Ashish: No,I will never stop talking to you ever.

Priya: Stop all this nonsense.I am leaving ,there is no use of this discussion.Because you are still saying the same thing.You want a breakup.If you have decided then I too have decided.Now it’s time that I should also take decisions.You have always taken decisions in our relationship and I said nothing. But today I am going to decide.

Ashish: (Holds her hand and is not letting her go) Give me your new number.

Priya: Forget it.I will never give it to you.I don’t want you to give another chance to hurt me yet again.If you are that firm about your decision why you are doing all this?

Ashish:Please don’t force me to change my decision.

Priya: I am not asking you to do so.I am just telling you my decision.Good bye Ashish.

Ashish: (Still not letting her go,stands in her way and is still holding her hand)

Priya: Ashu don’t create a scene here.I will shout if you won’t leave me.This is it.This was our last meeting and final talk and we are not seeing each other ever again.

Ashish: This is what you want Pri?You want me to die this slow death?I will die yr if you do like this.

Priya: Don’t do this Ashu please.Don’t hurt yourself and me anymore.

Ashish: Pri,I am not able to sleep since so many days.I am not able to concentrate on my work.I just think about you that how you are doing.I know you are hurt and upset and I am not leaving you.I want to be with you as friend.

Priya: Again friend?How can you be a friend to someone you loved,I can’t see you with anyone else.I cannot be and I am clear about it.It will hurt me.

Ashish: I can be just friends nothing more than that.I need you Pri.I can’t live without you.I will die,don’t do this.

Priya: Ashu you are clear regarding what you want and I am clear regarding what I want.So stop all this.It is over.Don’t hurt me or yourself anymore.Just go and let me go.

Ashish: Pri please,I can’t live without you.I am not able to sleep.(Pri looks at his face,he was really looking like he hasn’t slept for days,she felt like holding him and telling him,she is with him always,she only belongs to him but snaps back to reality and life)

Priya: But it is you who has decided for breakup not me Ashu.Just stop it.Leave.

She uncuffs her hands from his hold and rushes to her hostel gate.

Priya is now back to her room and crying her heart out.Ashish was looking so miserable,whatever he was saying is true,he has been suffering.But Priya has been suffering too and he is the one who is causing both to suffer.After so much also he is firm on his decision.But priya has decided that if that is his decision then she is not going to see him or talk to him.
