Those 5 minutes

Everything happened in a fraction of second.. His head started spinning badly. He remained silent holding his head with one hand. 'Jai.....hello... hello... are you there?? Hello....' 'Hello. Haan.. ' 'Speak something jai. I don't have much time.. i have to rush back home else dad will come down looking for me. ' 'You should have said something else re. Ab Kya bol main. Can't even say I'll meet them and talk..' there was silence between both of them. 'But.. Jai.. now what.. do something jai. Please.. ' 'Rukh.. u don't worry. Karta hu main kuch.. will try to convince my parents to meet them.. ' 'hmmmm.. ' 'Jaan darr mat re. Main hu na.. will do something dear.. ' His assurance was everything that she needed at that moment. She felt so relieved so relaxed. . As though he had taken off all the load from her shoulders. She smiled to herself. She knew he will never let her go.. no matter what. . He had nothing in his stride at that moment, but she had full confidence in him..They spoke for some more time and hung up assuring their hearts to have faith in their love.

'What happened jai?' Anie asked him. Jai told her everything that happened. She offered him the sandwiches and coffee she'd made. 'Have it jai. And relax. There should be some solution, don't worry.' Jai sat ideal in his thoughts. World came crashing down in minutes for jai. He had the feeling of loosing zia for the first time. And it made him go weak. 'Look jai. You have 3 options. One convince your parents and ask them to assure her parents. Two elope, marry and come back.. they will have to accept . Three forget and more on..' anie said to him. 'Anie. All three are impossible re. My parents will kick me out if i try to talk about marraige at this stage. Elope.. Zia will not agree and even i cannot. I don't have a steady job ya. M unsure about my future, i can't put zia's on stake. And forget.. You know we both cannot.. Kya karu main abhi..' World indeed had come crashing down for jai. He was struggling hard to get a good stable job so that he can dream his future with zia, but destiny seemed to carve different paths.
