Aditya was completely broken by Pooja’s death. He went home in the ambulance. When he arrived home, he was not saying anything, he was just thinking how did this everything happen that too in front of him. Their home keeper came and he immediately called Pooja’s and Aditya’s family. They were not living in the same city as the couple has been shifted due to work. Within a few hours, they also arrived. Aditya was still in the same zone. All the final rituals were performed. It took 3-4 days for all the rituals to finish off. Aditya was in the same zone. He had not spoked to anyone these days. His mother and other relatives took care of him.
The next day after Pooja’s death, Zoya was called to the hospital. A meeting was held and the decision was taken. Zoya was fired due to medical negligence. Her medical license was taken which means she could not practice for at least one year. The next few days were very difficult for Zoya. She was depressed because of two things, one Pooja died in front of her and secondly her license was taken.
Noor: Appi yeh aapki galati toh nahi hai. Agar aditya khud aapse baat kar rahe the toh iss mai aapki kya galati. Yeh toh unki masla hai. Khud apni biwi pe dehaan nahi hai, dosri larkiyu se baat kar rahe hain
Zoya: Agar kuch pata nahi hai toh behtar hoga aap aage mat boliye.
Noor: magar appi
Zoya: humne kaha na chup hojai ab. Galati meri aur maine faisla le lia hai keh aage kya karna hai.
Noor: kya faisla hai aapka
Zoya: hum mumbai chor ke lucknow shift hojai ge. Wahan jaake hum aage course complete karein ge.
Noor: lekin appi, apka license toh
Zoya: hum practice nahi kar sakte lekin aage parh toh sakte hain na. Hum pehle se parhna chahte the. Ab agar mauka hai toh who kar lenge. Aur ek saal ki hi baat hai.
Noor: aur aditya
Zoya: woh na hamari zindagi se jude the na jude ge.
Zoya hushed Noor who went to her room to pack things up. She started to think about what she just said. Was Aditya affecting him?
Humne Noor ko toh bola hai keh Aditya humse jude nai hain lekin pata nai dil yeh nai maan raha. Lag raha hai keh hamari takdeere judi hain. Unke kareeb hum nahi gai lekin unse duri ka khayal bhi dil ki dhakani tezz kar deta hai. Ya Allah yeh kya horaha hai hamare saath. Idhar hum iss gham mai hain aur wahan Aditya ke uppar kya bet hi hogi. Unke aage toh hamara dukh kuch bhi hai dil toh kar raha hai keh unke pass jaake unke gham bant lein lekin unse mulakat ka koi zariya bhi nahi hai. Na hi address ta hai unka na hi phone number.
She then remembered that she gave him her number when they took the photo in the hospital. A faint smile appeared on her face. She immediately grabbed her mobile to check if any message or call from him. To her disappointment, nothing was there.
Shaid hum kuch zyada hi soch rahe hain. Aditya hamare baare mai sochte bhi nahi honge. Agar kuch hota toh humein ek message ya call toh kar sakte the na. Zoyaa aap bhi kya soch rahi ho. Unki biwi ki death hui hai aur who hamare baare mai, ek nurse ke baare mai soch kar unhe call kare ge.
She was thinking about him when suddenly she got a call. Without looking at the screen, she picked up.
Aditya?
Suhana: Aditya? Mai Suhana bol rahi hu Zoya. Tumne mera number save bhi nahi kia hua.
Zoya looked at the screen. It said Suhana.
Zoya: Nahi nahi aisi baat nahi hai. Aapka number saved hai. Bas humne screen dekhe bagair uthaya.
Suhana: Aur tumhe laga keh Aditya hai. Kon hai yeh?
Zoya: Koi bhi nai.
Suhana: Ek sec ek sec. yeh wohi nahi hai Pooja ke husband jiski death hui thi aur uski wajah se tum…
Zoya: Kissi ki wajah se nai. Hamari khud ki galati thi.
Suhana: Sach mai tumhare galati thi? Main tumhe jaanti hu. Aisa kuch nahi hai. Baat karna jurm nahi hai. Uska waqt tha who chali gai. Tum sirf uss waqt wahan present thi itni galati tumhare.
Zoya: Jo hogaya use hum kuch nahi kar sakte.
Suhana: Toh iska matlab tum ussi Aditya ki baat kar rahi thi.
Zoya: Humein kaam hai. Hum phone rakh rahe hain.
Suhana: Acha acha ruko. Mujhe yeh toh bata do kab ki flight hai aur humse milne kab arahi ho.
Zoya: flight toh abhi tak book nahi hui hai. Bas iss week ke end tak. Aur aapse milne ke liye hum do din mai aate hain. Ek baar flight book hojai toh hum hospital se sab paperwork khatam kar de ge. Ussi waqt appse bhi mil lenge.
Suhana: Hum tumhe bahut yaad kare ge. Dekho zara mai bhi hum bolne lage.
Zoya: Hum bhi aapko bahut yaad kare ge. Chalo ab hum rakhte hain. Bye
Suhana: Bye.
Suhana: Zoya aur Aditya ke beech kuch toh hai. Agar nahi hai phir bhi unhe dekh kar lagta hai unki manzelien judi hui hai. Agar Zoya chali jai gi toh yeh kahani shoru hone se pehle ki khatam hojai gi. Mujhe kuch toh karna hoga lekin kya karu.
A few days passed. Zoya booked her and Noor’s ticket for the weekend. Just 2 days left for the flight. She was trying to forget about Aditya but the more she tries, the more she remembers him.
Aditya
It's been 10 days since Pooja died. He was broken from within. His wife, best friend, life partner left the world along with her baby. He didn’t leave his room for all these days. he just kept looking at their pictures and thinking about the good times.
Like every day, Arjun came to his room to give the food. He knocked and went inside. He saw his brother totally broken. He kept the food over the table and went away. This time he wanted to stay and talk to his brother which he was trying to do for so many days but could not gather the courage to console.
Main kya baat karu ga bhai se. kya bolu ga unhe. Kuch hai hi nahi mere pass. Lekin aaj mai unse baat karu ga. 10 din se kissi se baat nahi ki. Room se bahar nahi nikle lekin aur nahi ab.
Bhai
Aditya looked at him with empty eyes.
Adi: Mujhe akela chor do
Arjun went and sat with him.
Arjun:Bhai aapko yaad hai bachpan mai mujhe school mai kissi ne gira dia tha. Uss din mai lunch break mai aapse nahi mila aur aap mere liye apna exam chor ke dhondne aai. Mai apne favorite park spot pe gaya tha aur ro raha tha. Aap mujhe dhonte hue wahan aai aur phir mujhe mana ke ice cream khilai, meri favorite car toy kharid ke leke dia apni pocket money se aur exam bhi miss hogaya. Jab yeh baat dad ko pata chali toh unho ne aapko summer vaactions mai 3 days tak room mai band kar dia.
Adi:Kahan jaa rahe ho tum iske saath Arjun
This was the longest he has spoken these days. Arjun sighed relieved. He continued.
Arjun: Mai tab bhi aapse milne aata tha chup chup ke. Hum phir khelte the aur dad ko pata bhi nahi laga. Apne meri wajah se 3 days kamre mai band rakhe aur saza bhi chup chap seh li. Uss umar mai mujhe pata nahi chala keh aap aage jaake bhi mere saath yehi karo ge. Aur mai kamzooro ki tarah sirf aapke piche rahu ga aur kuch nahi kar saku ga.
Arjun saw his confused face. He took a deep breath and decided to finish the chapter once and for all.
Arjun:Pooja
Adi:Arjun jo beet gaya uski baat karne ki koi zarurat nahi.
Arjun:Nahi bhai. Aaj main baat karke rahu ga. Kab tak aap meri gaalti ki saza lete raho ge.
Adi:Tune koi galati nahi ki.
Arjun:Galati nahi gunah kia maine. Aur meri wajah se hi aa piss halaat mai ho. Pooja ko mai pasand karta tha.
Adi:Tu manta hai na tu pasand karta tha.
ArjunA:Bhai aap bhi jaante ho wohh pasand nahi, crush tha jo hamare sar par gaya. Kaash uss din dad ko pata na chala hota aur na hi wohh Pooja ke saath zabardasti shaadi karwate aapki aur phir aapne jo 2 years jhela wohh na jhelte. Sab meri wajah se bhai.
Adi: Arjun apne aap ko kyu aisa keh raha hai
Arjun:Kyunke bhai meri wajah se hi hua yeh sab. Aap dono ki shaadi aur phir bacha..
Adi:Pooja iss duniya main nahi hai. Aur na hi bacha. Tu samjhta hai iss baat ko. Yeh sab mere samne hua jab mai Zoya se
Arjun:Zoya kon?
Aditya finally took her name and it made her come back to the real world. He closed his eyes. ZOYA. Her smile, her face and most importantly her deep eyes.
Arjun:Kon hai Zoya bhai.
Adi:Hospital nurse
Arjun:Nurse phir toh important nahi. Toh continue kare aap.
Adi:Nahi important hai woh.
Arjun:Bhai aap seedhe se batao mujhe.
Adi:Mai Zoya se hospital mai mila jab Pooja behosh thi. Usne bataya mujhe mai use pehle bhi mil chuka hu.
Arjun:Bhai aap mazak kar rahe ho kya. 2 years mai aap kissi larki se mile ho Pooja ke rehte hue.
He chuckled only to get glared by Aditya.
Adi:Mai mila hu usse wohh bhi Pooja ke samne.
Arjun:Yeh miracle kab hua.
Adi:Last party.
Arjun:OHHHH. wohh fans jo aap se mili thi aur aankhein…
Adi:Uski aankho mai kuch tha jaise mujhe kuch keh rahi.
Arjun:Aisa mujhe kabhi feel nahi hua. Yehi kehna chahte ho na aap
Adi:Tujhe kaise pata. Ek sec tujhe kaise pata mai fans se mila
Arjun:Bhai wohhh aap daanto ge toh nahi na.
Adi:Daant bhi sakta hu
Arjun:Acha daant lena aap. Aapka mobile last 10 days se mere pass hai. Aur pooja ke jaane kee baad details chahiye thi toh aapka mobile password crack karwana pada. Ussi mai ek note tha “important” I thought sach mai kuch important hoga toh I checked. Uss mai aapne sab likha tha aur mai ruk nahi saka out of curiosity. Maine sab parh lia about how you feel about that fan.
Adi:Zoya
Arjun:Haan Zoya. Name nahi pata tha jo ab pata chal gaya. Bhai aapne smile kia.
Aditya tried to mask his smile.
Adi:Tune out of curiosity parha mera personal note. Tujhe mai batata hu.
He took a pillow and hit him. Then it was both of them running around the room.
Arjun:Bhai acha basss. Sorry.
Adi:You better be chote.
Arjun saw the guitar over the side and asked Aditya to play it.
Adi:Tu gai ga toh hi main guitar play karu ga.
He knew what song to play to make Adi realize.
Arjun:Okay done. Start.
Adi plays the guitar and Arjun sang
Ve metho tera mann bharya (your heart has no affection left for me)
Mann bharya badal gaya sara (heart is no longer interested, you have completely changed)
Ve tu mainu chad jana (you are going to leave me)
Galaa teriyaa toh lagda ae yaara (From your talks, I can sense that friend)
Ve metho tera mann bharya (your heart has no affection left for me)
Gal gal te shak karda ae (you doubt me in everything)
Aitbaar zara vi ni (no trust at all)
Hun teri ankhiya ch mere layi pyar zara vi ni (now there is no love for me in your eyes)
Mera te koi hai nai tere bin (I don’t have anyone except you)
Tainu mil jana kise da sahara (you will get someone else’s support)
Ve tu mainu chad jana (you are going to leave me)
Galaa teriyaa toh lagda ae yaara (From your talks, I can sense that friend)
Pyaar mere nu tu ve mazak samjh ke baitha (You consider my love to be a joke)
Main sab samjhdi aan Tu jawak samjh ke baitha (I understand everything, you just think that I am like a child)
Tu waqt nahi dinda Menu Aajkal do pal da (You don’t give me two moments of your time nowadays)
Tenu pata nai shaid Ishq wich injh nahi chalda (Maybe you don’t know, this is not how it works in love)
Menu tu jooti thale rakh da (You keep me under your shoe)
Jaani lokan aage ban na vechara ve (Honey, don’t act innocent in front of people)
Ve tu mainu chad jana (You are going to leave me)
Galaa teriyaa toh lagda ae yaara (From your talks, I can sense that friend)
Tu sab jaanda aein Mai chad nahi sakdi teenu (You know everything, I cannot leave you)
Tahin taan ungla te roz nachauna mainu (That is why you make me dance to your fingertips daily)
Agle janam vich Allah aisa khel racha ke bheje (In next life, Allah play a game such that)
Mainu tu bana ke bheje, tainu main bana ke bheje (He sends me as you and sends you as me)
Vey fer tenu pata lagna (Then you will realise)
Kive peeta janda paani khara khara (How salty water-tears is drunk)
Ve tu mainu chad jana (You are going to leave me)
Galaa teriyaa toh lagda ae yaara (From your talks, I can sense that friend)
Ve metho tera mann bharya (your heart has no affection left for me
Song finished. Arjun can see from the corners of his eyes that Adi’s eyes were damped.
Arjun: Bhai aapko pata hai yeh song maine kyun gaaya. Kyunke yehi aapke saath hua. Aapko realize karna hai bhai keh jo horaha tha galat tha. Jo hua uss mai aap ka koi dosh nahi. Mai manta hu acha nahi hua. Pooja ke jaane ka gham humein bhi hai. Per jo hua wohh ek tarike se behtari ke liye hua. Aap azaad ho bhai.
This struck Aditya.
Adi:Main azaad hu.
Arjun:Haan bhai. Aap jo chaho kar sakte ho. Hum se mil sakte ho. Mom dad ke pass asakte ho. Apne friends jo 2 yyears se dekhe nahi, unke saath time spent kar sakte ho. And most importantly, Zoya. Aap Zoya se mil sakte ho.
Adi:Kya mujhe karna chahiye
Arjun:maine aapki aankho mai jo dekha Zoya ke liye wohh kuch aur hi tha. Mujhe toh lagta hai aapko isspe dehaan dena chahiye. Mujhe nahi pata wohh kaisi hai. Lekin aapka dil dharka hai toh special hi hogi.
Adi:Per mai kaise milu ga usse. Mere pass toh number… aare haan mere pass hai uska number.
He immediately typed Zoya in the contacts app but no result.
Adi:Shayad mai save karna bhul gaya.
Arjun:Aapne hi kaaha tha na wohh hospital mai nurse hai. Wahan jaake mil lo.
Adi:Aise desperate toh nahi lagu ga?
Arjun:Mr. Aditya Hooda, Prem of Bepannah. Tv’s chocolate boy. He is thinking about desperation. I am shocked. Wohh aapki fan toh hai hi. Aur aap uske toh problem kya hai. Aap uske pass jao. Jaano usse aur ahista ahista dekho kya hota hai.
Adi: Main kal hi jau ga. Chote thank you mujhe realize karwane ke liye.
They hugged. Arjun went out from his room to give some privacy.
Zoya. mujhe nahi pata Hamari manzelein kya hain. Hum kyun mile. Lekin mai itna zarur jaanta hu keh mai tumhe jaana chahta hu, tumse milna chahta hu, tumhari aankho ki gehri mai koodna chahta hu. Dur kahin dar bhi hai. Kal tumse milu ga main. Tiyar rehna. Ek nayi zindagi ki shuruwat hogi.
