End --part 3
I was back to my hostel. I was so scared my room mate and my friend, my coz still not came back from her holiday. I saw shashank again with his girl friend. Who knows what he might do now. I will try my best to come in front of him. And secondly I would try not to let any of my class fellow find out about it. If they find out I will not be able to live with the accusations.
Asalam-o-alikum ami and abu jaan
I am fine here. I know that you both are worried for me. You don't need to worry I am enjoying my self here. My temperature had run away. Looks like it only wanted you to take care of me while my stay in kolkutta.
Ami kaya astha and riya had grown up so much. And they are really good friends. Maybe I have changed that is why I cannot adjust in the house. I feel like a stranger. And when you treat me like I am special I feel odd. It makes me feel like I am not one of you. Mujeh ajeeb lagta hai. One thing which I noticed while staying in kolkutta. One thing which had worried me is that none of the girl wear dupatta. I did not say anything to them because they might be offended. Please ami mind na karna lakin un ko meri taraf se nahi balke apni taraf se samjhaye.
11 September ko delhi me sameena ki mangani hai.she really insisted me to come. Irfan bhai will come to pick us up. I am going there.
Say my salam to abu ji. I wil send him the books he asked me about. Ami abu is bar mujeh bohot kamzor lage take care of him. I don't want to become old so soon. Say salaam to every one.
Dua go
App ki beti
Gauri.
11 September came. My leave for three days was granted. I was brushing my long hair, When the cleaner came "ji app ke bhai saab aye hain. Shayad lene aye hain jaldi kariye please." I put everything that I did not need in the cupboard and locked it saying bye to other friends, I picked up my bag and walked out. The car outside was not irfan bhai's I looked here and there. The face in the car was not the one I haven't seen before. Finally he came out of the car and said salam. Everything came back to me. "shiv" yes it was him. I had been foolish as I was standing there staring at him. One year, one month and 16 days…. Yes thats how long it was since the last time we met. He was totally a different man. He was not shiv she remembered. His bear had grown a bit. Dark circle around his eyes. He was not the same shiv who's touch, who's heated breath made me loose myself. He read the question in my eyes. "irfan bhai told me to pick you up." I stood there like a fool. And handed my bag to him. He put the bag in the boot and opened the lock for three doors. I stood there troubled. Then without making fool of my self again I opened the front door and sat. Shiv too sat inside and read bismiallah. And started the car. "shukriya gauri shukriya." he said in such manner that she could recognise in millions. I was becoming restless to hear that from him. But today there was a certain disappointment in his voice.
We took the exit for the motorway. When tears came out from my eyes. To hide them I bent down and started doing the straps of my shoes. Which was not even needed. And my open hair were scattered all over shiv hand who was about to change gear. I gathered them quickly and I put them in a bun and with my second hand opened the bad to get the band. When shiv stared at me with such passionate eyes which made me shiver. "gauri." he said in a husky voice. "my love.. Leave them open."
"shiv" I said while taking control on myself. " time has taken away everything. Now we are not the same people. We don't know each other anymore. I trusted you when I sat in the car. Mujhe yakeen hai ke tum koi aisa kadam nahi uthao ge. Ke jo keeerchiyan me ne itne samay me apni palkon se chun li hain unhe phir mere kadmon me bikher do."
"yeh to mohobot ke wo sitare the jo abb bhi tumhari palkon par chamak rahe hain. Kiya hum ne koi aisa kadam uthaya tha. Ke jis se humare zameer pe khalsh ho." he questioned. "where were you" I tried to turn the topic. "sawal ka jawab sawal nahi hota" he smiled but did not bother hiding the tears at the end of his eyes. " anyways I was in middle east. I work for a oil company. Tum sonao kaisi ho. Koi mangani wangani. Or khush to ho na." I beard the tears. "hmm" was all I could say. "khabhi yaad aya" he looked me into my eyes. And I could not bear it any more. "nahi" I I put my head on my knees and started crying. And cried for a while. The car stopped we were on a abandoned road. He looked up to him he was worried. He handed me his handkerchief I took it with hesitation. And wiped my eyes. "khabhi bhi nahi" he asked me in shock. "kyun"
"is liye ke yaad to un ko kiya jata hai jinhe bhool jate hain." I said while looking at him. "really" he put forward his hand in front of me which I ignored. I just gave away another " hmm" "yeh to koi jawab na hoa gauri" I looked at him we were in a an abandoned road what would any one else passing here would think. "please shiv chalien yahan se." "waise jab tumhari zuban se mra naam atak atak ke ada hota hao to is ke mani badal jate hain." he started the car but I knew he was angry with me.
They reached the house. She went with Sameena. And tried to avoid shiv for the rest for the day which she managed by helping out sameena mum. In the night they went and sat on the roof. "shiv thore arse ke liye wapis aye hain" said sameena "in hope that he will get what he wants. He is going to try his luck again. And maybe this time your dad will agree as now he is well settled. Hopefully there will be nothing wrong this time." I sat there shocked. So that is why he came back.
