Happy birthday to you

 

Riya was surprised after returning one night from office.her Daijaan was arranging with a girl some buckets full of sweets and foods.

(daijaan)

''yeh apke birthday ke liye hain.'' Zeenia informed her as soon as she climbed in Riya's lap and hold her neck.

The girl turned and Riya was surprised again, it was Chotu's 11.30 wali.

''tum yahan?'' Riya asked.

Daijaan answered, ''yeh hain Amina.inhi ki abbu ke dukaaan se yeh samaan layi hoon.aur yeh bhi meri madad krne chali ayi.''

''assalam waleikum.'' Amina said and asked, ''aap mujhe janti hain?''

''who, maine tumhe Commisioner sir ke holi party mein dekha tha.'' Riya explanined.

Amina nodded and took their leave. Riya offered her that her driver will drop her, but she refused. But Riya convinced her and escort her to the car.

''main Chotu ki colleague hoon.'' Riya informed and Amina was surprised again.

''who hamesha tumhari baatein krta rehta hain.'' Riya said and Amina blushed.then she said in a low tone, ''who bohot ache hain.''

''aur tumhe pasand hain, hain na?'' Riya knew it already that she likes him. Amina was totally red with shyness now. She nodded and said, ''jee.''

 

Next morning'.

 

''par abhi tak Dada ( grandfather) and naani ne aapko wish nahi kiya. Its not fair mamma.'' Zee was angry as none remembered her mamma's birthday. She crossed her arms on her chest.

''they must be busy baby.'' Riya answered, while holding a bread in front of Zee's mouth.

''but its ur birthday ! aur mamu (shree) ne bhi call nahi kiya. Its so not fair.'' She said stubbornly and Riya chuckled.

Daijaan came out of her room and asked, ''apka ho gaya Riya baby?''

Zee asked, ''aplog kahan ja rahe ho?''

''hum dargah ja rahe hain, fir wahan se main office jaoongi.'' Riya said and put the bread in Zee's mouth.

''its ur birthday! '' zee was confused and shocked. How can anyone go to work on their birthday? Even she don't go that day to her school.

''but office is important na baby.'' Riya tried to make her understand.

''par'.'' Zee argued while Riya cut her, ''kiddo, no more talks. Eat ur food first,u have to go to school and mamma is going late na?''

Zee was confused and angry , and eat her breakfast reluctantly.

 

''chaliye na Riya baby, please . allah ke dar se aise nahi jate.'' Daijaan request Riya in front of Dargah . Riya refused to inside but Daijaan requested.

''Daijaan, aap please mat kahiye. Aur waise bhi jinpe yakeen hi nahi unke samne kyu jana?'' Riya answered looking at the entrance where hundreds of people entering and leaving  the dargah.

''mere khatir?'' Daijaan said for the last time and Riya gave up. Daijaan was too happy this day, she cant make her sad. She thought of her as her own daughter and very excited to pray to God on her Birthday and distribute sweets and foods in the Dargah.

''ek minute''' before entering, daijaan covered Riya's head with dupatta, as per rituals, and they entered.

 

Arjun brought a mannat ka dhaga from a shop outside the dargah, and eyed it. He remembered Roshni came here every month to pray for his well being, and how he waited impatiently for her outside.he sighed at the old memories and turned towards the entrance, when his eyes fall on a beautiful scene.

A mother was helping a girl covering her head with dupatta. The mother was very happy, face glowing with joy, the girl was facing her back.

Arjun 's heart melted at the sight and he could not help but prayed that the smile and glow never left from that mother's face.

 

''main yeh mithayi baat ke aati hoon.'' Daijaan excused herself and went to distribute these. Riya sighed  at her , she didn't like this at all, but didn't said anything as daijaan was so happy. She thought to wait for her at the Parking lot when'..

''allah ke darbar pe ayi hain, kuch mangegi nahi?'' a fakir asked her.

''agar kuch mangungi to who denge?'' riya asked.

''kyu nahi '   uske dar se koi khali haat nahi jata.'' Saying this he handed over a dhaga and left the place.

She thought to make a wish today. She slowly went towards the corridor, where thousands of Dhaga were tied in the grill (imagine the scene urself I cant describe the words sorry) .several other persons were also doing the same, praying and wishing.

Riya went in the far corner, and started to tied her dhaga, while saying to God.

''sab kehte hain ki aap dua puri krte ho, to aaj meri ek dua puri kar do. Mujhe sahi salamt rakho, taki mere apne kabhi apse koi umeed na  rakhe' taki unki umeed puri krne ke liye main zinda rahoon.''

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Arjun tied the dhaga in the grill, and past memories came to haunt him . he silently made a wish

''who yahan ati thi, mere liye dua mangne. Aaj main aya hoon uski taraf se. mujhe zinda rakhiye, taki main uski maut ka badla le sakoon.''

He put his head on the grill, defeated to fate.he let his fingers roll through the grill when suddenly he felt something soft.

He hurriedly opened his eyes and he looked at the other side of the grill. It was a lady, dreassed in white salwar.his view was blocked due to the grill, forbidding him to see her face. She looked at him shockingly.

Aankhein Teri , Kitni Haseen
Ki Inkaa Aashiq, Mein Ban Gayaa Hoon
Mujhko Basaa Le, Iname Tu
Ishq Hai'.
Maula Mere, Maula Mere Maula Mere, Maula Mere

(kash woh dono bhi aise hi amne samne hote... imagine they are iss paar and usspar of that ...err...wall  )

 

 

He had never seen so beautiful eyes, he was lost in them, forgetting the time, place, or his reason to come!it reminded him of someone'.he felt that he had observed these eyes before.it reminded him of'RIYA.

 

Ki Inakaa Aashiq, Mein Ban Gayaa Hoon
Mujhko Basaa Le, Iname Tu

Mujhse Yeh Har Ghadi, Meraa Dil Kahe
Tum Hi Ho Usaki Aarzoo

 

His chain of thoughts were broken due to the shock that he remembered his colleague suddenly. He removed his finger from the lady's soft ones, but still staring at her. Suddenly she moved backwards slowly, and left his view.

 

Mera Dil Yahi Bolaa, Meraa Dil Yahi Bolaa,
Yaara Raaj Yeh Usane Hai Mujh Par Kholaa
Ki Hai Ishq Mohabbat, Jiske Dil Mein
Usko Pasand Karta Hai Maulaa

 

 

 

Riya;s heartbeat increased as soon as she felt those strong, hot fingers touching hers back in the corridor. She forgot the surroundings of her, and was confused that why she was so lost in those coal, black eyes. She brushed aside the thought and went outside, where Daijaan was already waiting for her.

They were about to leave when she heard a familiar voice, ''Mukherjee?''

Her heartbeat increased. She turned and saw Arjun looking at her.

The way he was looking at her made her knees go weak. Those black eyes were penetrating her, so intense that she forgot to breath!

Arjun was shocked that the mother daughter he witnessed earlier was Riya and another woman.she looks so beautiful in a white anarkali dress. He had not remembered if she looked this beautiful ever! She was looking almost like an angle'so pure, so beautiful that he was staring at her shamelessly , without saying anything!

Daijaan had to cough to bring these two back in senses. She was an old woman, she had not missed the spark and intensity between these two.Riya blushed while Arjun was clearly embarrassed.

''Daijaan, yeh hain mere boss, Arjun sir.'' She introduced them, ''sir, yeh hain meri daijaan.''

 

Ariya was silent in the whole journey. They were about to reach when their car stopped at a signal.

''didi didi, yeh phool le lo na. bohot saste hain.'' A boy came beside their car and requested her.

Riya smiled and looked at the roses. It were fresh, and beautiful.there were white and red rose.

''mujhe saare safed phool de do.'' She said and took out a 500 rupee note.the boy handed over her flowers and said in a sad tone, ''mere paas to chuttte hain hi nahi.''

''koi baat nahi.'' Riya gave her dimpled smile and the boy was very happy to get a big tip. He happily said, ''bhagwan aap dono ki Jodi salamat rakhe.''

Riya was clearly embarrassed at the boy's words. She stole a glance at Arjun, who was busy looking at outside.she sighed in relief, as he had not heard the boy, and kept the flowers on the back seat.

Arjun was touched by Riya's gesture towards the boy.the warmth and kindness was evident in her. And she was looking so beautiful that he was occasionally staring at her, when she was not observing.he cursed mentally for doing that, but could not stop himself. Don't know why!

 

Mujhse Yeh Har Ghadi, Mere Lab Kahe

Teri Hi Ho Sab Guftagoo
Baatein Teri Itni Haseen, Main Yaad Inko Jab Kartaa Hoon
Phoolon Si Aaye, Khushaboo

 

They reached in ETF office and Arjun hurriedly went outside.Riya was busy attending a call, when it started to rain.

She smiled to herself. She always loved rain, who doesn't!! she reached out for the drops.

''Ri''' it was Chotu, with a big umbrella, ushering her to come under it. She did the same and both started to walk towards building.

''yeh baaarish'.'' Chotu complained.

''Chotu, aise mausam main complain nahi karte''' saying this, she snatched the umbrella and threw it away on the lane,'' aise enjoy karte hain.'' She shouted at him, laughing whole heartedly .

''Ri'pagal ho gayi hain kya?'' Chotu complained again and went under a shade, while Riya was busy staring at the drops fell on her palm.

Arjun came to the window and witnessed Riya threw away the umbrella and Chotu complain. He rolled his eyes at her childishness, but there was a faint smile on his lips.

The salwar was pressed with her body. She was clearly enjoying this.the smile, sparkle in her eyes were unmistakable. He kept looking at her and remembered the very first time they met.that was a rainy night too!

He was happy.    why?    he don't know. But he was.

 

 

Rakh Loon Chhupaa Ke Main Kahin Tujhako
Saayaa Bhi Teraa Naa Main Doon
Rakh Loon Banaa Ke Kahin Ghar, Main Tujhe
Saath Tere, Main Hi Rahoon
Zulfein Teri, Itni Ghani
Dekh Ke Inako, Yeh Sochataa Hoon
Saaye Me, Inake Main Jiyoon
Ishq Hai '.
Maula Mere, Maula Mere Maula Mere, Maula Mere
