Ananya woke up by the constant banging on the door of her room. She got up on the bed and it took her sometime to figure out where she was and what was happening. When she came to senses, she got up slowly; wrapping her nightgown properly. She went up to the door and opened it to find Rohit standing in front of her.
Ro: Good morning darling.
An:( in a cold voice) Good morning.
Ro: I must say ke apne nightgown mein tum kaafi...(leaned over and tried to kiss her)
An:( moving away instantly) Main tumhaara breakfast serve kar rahi hu. Dining table par aajana.
Saying she immediately left from there and Rohit stood there with a nasty smile on his face.
Ananya served the breakfast and then went to Rohit's room only to find a total mess. She wasn't surprised at all as it was usual. She was cleaning up the room when suddenly her eyes fell on something and she picked it up. A tissue paper was somehow stuck with Rohit's clothes and there was a logo of a famous five star hotel on it. Ananya nodded her head in disappointment,
An: Pata nehi ab konsi bechari ki zindagi kharab karke aya hai ye.
She closed her eyes in disgust and then resumed her work. When Rohit left for office, Ananya decided to visit the nearby grocery store to buy some daily necessaries. She was moving around the store when a girl of about her age suddenly bumped into her.
G: Oh my God I am really sorry I didn't...(shocked expression) Tum..tum Ananya ho na?
An:(surprised) Ha par aap mujhe kaise janti hai? Aur mera naam aapko kaise pata? Aap hai kaun?
G: Hi I am Natasha. Aur main tumhe kaise janti hu..(smiled sadly) well if you don't mind can we talk over coffee?
An:(hesitated a bit) Um..ah..ya sure.
Na:(smiled) Let's go.
They went to a nearby cafeteria and ordered for themselves. When the coffee was served Natasha turned towards Ananya.
Na: I know tumhe bohot ajeeb lag raha hai. Actually my situation is same.(gave a sigh) Tum puch rahi thi na ki main tumhe kaise janti hu? Well I know you through your husband Mr. Rohit Mafatlal. I know that also comes as a shock... I don't know what to say and I shouldn't ask this but...kya tumhaara aur Rohit ka love marriage hua tha? I mean if you don't mind...
An: Not at all. Nehi it was an arranged marriage. Actually Rohit ke dad mere father ke acche dost hai so..
Na: Toh tumne kya use bina jane hi.. par kiu? Kiu tumne aise aadmi se shaadi ki?
An: matlab? Tum kehna kya chahti ho?
Na: Ananya you seem to be a very nice girl. Aur woh.. woh Rohit.. Ananya woh bohot ghatiya insaan hai..tum soch bhi nehi sakti..
An: Main ye toh janti hu ke Rohit is truly not a nice guy but tum ye sab.. tum use kaise janti ho?
Na:(smiled sarcastically) Well agar tum janti ho then I really don't have a problem to say that I am one of
the thousands of girlfriends of your husband. Actually I was huh!
An:( stayed silent for a moment) Usne tumhaare saath...
Na: I loved him madly. Mujhe tab laga tha that I have found my love. Woh jis tarah se mujhse behave karta tha it seemed like I got my prince charming huh!(started crying) Mujhe kya pata tha ki mere jaise pata nehi kitne larkiyo ke saath woh...
An:(holding Natasha's hand) Natasha, please sambhalo apne aapko. I am really very sorry for you. Please get a grip on yourself.
Na:(still crying profusely) You know what he did?(again smiled sarcastically) usne mujhe kuch dino tak use kiya and then he just threw me away from his life.(gave a pause) kiu kiya tumne usse shaadi? Kiu barbaaf ki apni zindagi? He might have made your life hell by now. Kaise sehti ho tum?
An:(smiled sadly) Meri life toh humesha se hi hell thi..aur rahi baat Rohit ki then I have always known that men are just like this..jab mere apne pita mujhe... you know what kuch logo ke paas unke father nehi hote aur mere toh hokar bhi nehi hai. Agar unko mere janam se pehle
pata chalta na ki unka beta nehi balki beti aarahi hai is duniya mein toh woh mere janam se pehle hi mujhe maar dete...huh! Girls are forbidden to be born in our family..( wiped away the tears which were flowing through her eyes) So you see muihe abhi life mein kisi bhi cheez se shock nehi lagta you know.
Natasha held her hands and consoled her,
An: Bohot dino baad kisi se baat karke sukoon mila. Thank you..Thanks a lot. Abhi mujhe jana hoga but main tumse milungi zarur. See you soon.
Natasha nodded and then exchanging their contact numbers, both wished each other and headed to their respective cars.
Aakash was stuck in the traffic jam and he was constantly checking the time as it had been really long and he was getting irritated. He looked outside and suddenly his eyes fell on the person who was sitting in the car right next to his. When coincidentally that person's gaze also met him; Aakash's heart skipped a bit as there was something in those eyes which froze him. Suddenly the jam got cleared and he came to his senses by the horn of the cars behind him. Aakash started his car and when he was moving away he tried to look back towards that car but couldn't as he was driving. He reached home and then got freshened up but those beautiful eyes were still flashing in his thoughts and trying to get free from it; he got himself busy in his laptop.
