[ 1 Month Later ]
It was one month since Ananya came to Akash's home and within this one month,Ananya became too much attached to Akash and he became totally dependent on Ananya.Ananya taught him many things like wearing his clothes by himself,eating by himself.Ananya was just like a mother to him and he used to panic when he can't find Ananya around him.It was Ananya's first karwachauth after one month for which she had to do fasting.When Naina and Ananya were serving food to everyone,Akash asked Ananya to sit with him and have breakfast but Ananya rejected and asked him to have his breakfast but Akash said,"Nei nei nei aaj tum nehi bethogi to main bhi khaana nehi khaaunga.Main katti kar dunga tumse."Ananya explained,"Dekho Akah aaj karwachauth hai na to aaj main nehi kha sakti hu."Akash asked,"Ye karwachauth kya hota hai?"She replied,"Ye ek puja hoti hai jisme koi bhi wife pura din naahi kuch khaati hai aur naahi kuch peeti hai aur jab raat ko moon nikalta hai na tab us moon ko dekh kar phir apne husband ke haatho se pani peene ke baad hi khaana khaana parta hai."Akash thought for a moment and then asked,"Pura din bina khaana khaaye kaise rahogi friend?Tum bimaar par jaaogi na?"Ananya replied,"Is din God saari wives ko dher saara strength dete hai aur is puja se saare husbands ki lives long hoti hai."He was confused and then he asked Namrata,"Daadi Ananya ke paas husband hai?Kaun hai vo aur husband kya hota hai?"Namrata looked at Ananya and she gave a helpless look and then Namrata explained,"Husband...Jaise tumhaare papa tumhaari mamma ke jo lagte hai usko husband kehte hai.Vaise hi tum Ananya ke husband ho."Akash gave an I understand everything' kind of look and then replied,"Ooo main Ananya ka husband hu,ye puja vo mere liye kar rahi hai.Koi zarurat nehi hai karne ki,tum bimaar par gayi to mere saath kaun khelega?Tumhe pata hai jo log bimaar parte hai na vo kabhi thik nehi hote hai aur vo mar jaate hai.Jaise meri mamma bimaar pari thi na phir vo kabhi thik nehi hui aur bhagwaanji ne unko apne paas bula liya.Agar vo hoti na to mere papa is witch aunty ko kabhi yaha nehi lekar aate."He made a face to Naina and Ananya said,"Akash bohot buri baat,ye tumse bari hai na aur baro se aise baat nehi karte hai.Vo dekho Suhaana,tumse kitni choti hai par kya vo aise behave karti hai baro ke saath?"Akash angrily replied,"Vo Suhaana ki apni mamma hai,jo usse bohot pyar karti hai aur mujhse hamesha daat kar pyar karti hai.Is ghar mein daadi,papa aur tumhaare alava mujhse koi pyar nehi karta."Ananya replied,"Phir bhi tumhe inse sorry bolna chahiye varna sab tumhe bad boy kahenge aur tumhe bad boy kahenge to mujhe kitna bura lagega Akash pata hai na."Akash looked at Ananya and then asked,"Tumhe bohot zyaada bura lagega?"Ananya nodded her head and then he again asked,"Tum roogi?"She again nodded her head and then Akash held her hand and said,"Nei nei tum mat rona,tum roogi to mujhe bilkul bhi achcha nehi lagega."He then looked at Naina and then apologized to her and then said to Ananya,"Dekho maine sorry bol diya ab tum khaana kha lo na please."Ananya replied,"Akash dekho zid nehi karte hai tumhe doctor ne time par khaana aur medicine lene ko bola hai varna tum bimaar par jaaoge."Ananya tried to explain Akash to take his food but he didn't take it and returned to his room.Ananya asked,"Daadi ab kya karu main?Akash itna zid to kabhi nehi karta hai?"Namrata replied,"Mera Akash hai hi aisa,kabhi kabhi itna ziddi ban jaata hai na ke matlab...Ab tumhe hi usko samjhaana parega Ananya kyuki ab vo agar kisiki sunega to vo sirf aur sirf tum hi ho."Ananya gave a deep sigh.
Ananya went to Akash's room and found him talking with his toy.He took his toy in his hand and then said,"Dholu ek baat batao jaise tum mere dost ho,Ananya bhi to meri friend hai na,par daadi kehti hai ke main Ananya ka husband hu par jo kuch bhi ho agar Ananya khaana nehi khaayegi to vo to bimaar par jaayegi na,to batao ye koi achchi baat thore hi hai?Vo bimaar paregi to mujhe kitna bura lagega ab vo to meri baat samajhti hi nehi hai.Ab tum hi batao vo nehi khaayegi to main kaise kha sakta hu.Main bhi nehi khaaunga aur jaise vo meri long life ke liye fast rakh rahi hai,main bhi rakkhunga uske long life ke liye."Ananya walked upto Akash and then said,"Nehi Akash tum khaana nehi khaaoge to medicines nehi le paaoge aur phir tum bimaar par jaaoge,tum aisa kuch nehi karoge Akash."Akash replied,"To...to tum promise karo ke tum ye fast nehi rakkhogi to hi main khaana khaaunga."Ananya replied,"Akash maine tumhe samjhaaya hai na ye fast sirf ladies hi rakh sakti hai aur koi nehi."Akash asked,"Aisa kaha likha hai?"She was getting fed up while explaining him and said,"Akash agar tumne meri baat nehi maani to main tumse kabhi baat nehi karungi."Akash too was in a mood to fight and so he said,"Agar tum bhi meri baat nehi sunogi to main bhi tumse baat nehi karunga aur vaise bhi is ghar mein tumhe bhi daadi,papa aur mere alava koi pasand nehi karta hai."Ananya put her hand on her waist and said,"Uff!!Akash tum bohot ziddi ho gaye ho.Baat hi nehi sun rahe ho aaj meri.You are a very bad boy!!"Akash,in the same tone,repeated Ananya and said,"Uff!!Ananya tum bohot ziddi ho gayi ho.Baat hi nehi sun rahi ho aaj meri.You too are a very bad girl.Abhi..."He got up from his bed and then pushed Ananya out of his room and then said,"Bohot bak bak karti ho isliye abhi mera sar mat khaao aur jaao.Main dholu ke saath akele rahunga vo hi mera true friend hai.Tumhaare jaisa nehi hai,vo mera har baat manta hai."He closed the door on her face and then Ananya said,"Akash main na chali jaaungi yaha se phir tum yaha rote rehna hamesha mere liye aur phir tum bulaaoge bhi na tab bhi main nehi aaungi,yaad rakhna meri baat ko."Akash laughed and replied,"Tum jaanti nehi ho mere papa ko,vo mere liye kuch bhi kar sakte hai.Mere papa tumhe jaane hi nehi denge kahi par bhi,dekh lena."Ananya replied,"Akash main tumse kabhi bhi baat nehi karungi aur aaj se tumse hamesha hamesha ke liye katti."He replied,"Tumhaare petu mein meri tarah dard hoga agar tumne mujhse baat nehi ki to."Ananya gave up and then said to Namrata,"Daadi Akash ne to meri baat hi nehi suni.Maine usko bohot daraane ki koshish ki par usne to mujhe ulta kamre se hi nikaal diya aur usne kaha hai ke vo bhi mere liye vrat rakkhega abhi please aap hi ja kar usko samjhaaiye."Namrata replied,"Ananya jab usne tujhe kamre se bahaar nikaal diya to main kya cheez hu?Vaise bhi aajkal vo to sirf teri hibaat manta hai aur kiske taraf dekhta hi nehi hai.Jab tere saath aisa hua hai to..."Ananya asked,"Par daadi uski tabiyat kharaab ho jaayegi aur aisa thik bhi to nehi hai na?"Namrata replied,"Tune kya kaha tha usko ke vrat ke time par bhagwaan har aurat ko itni shakti dete hai ke vo itne der tak bina khaana khaaye reh sakte hai to bhagwaan Akash ka bhi khayaal rakh lenge.Tu fikar mat kar.Vaise bhi ek nek kaam ke liye kar raha hai ne vo to usko kuch nehi hoga."Ananya still didn't agree to Namrata and said,"Ye sab thik nehi hai daadi."Saying this much she just left from there.
During the whole day,Ananya applied several means to make Akash eat his food but he was too stubborn and clever for her to persuade.It was not that Akash was not hungry,he was damn hungry and he even tried to steal food but then when he remembered that Ananya hadn't eat and won't eat anything,he used to keep the food back in its place.At night,Akash was holding his stomach and said to dholu,"Dholu mujhe na itniii saariii bhukh lagi hai.Mere petu mein bhi dard kar raha hai,main kya karu?Ananya se bhi nehi keh sakta phir vo mujhe itne zor se daategi kyuki maine uski baat nehi suni hai na isliye.Par ab main kya karu?Ananya ne kaha tha ke raat ko jab moon nikelga tabhi hum fast tod sakte hai.Abhi tak moon bhi to nehi nikla hai na."He lied down as he was having stomach pain and thenAnanya came to his room to break her fast.She was shocked on seeing Akash in that condition and she ran upto him and said,"Pet mein dard ho raha hai na?Maine mana kiya tha Akash ke aisa mat karo khaana kha lo par tum to meri baat sunte hi nehi ho.Ruko main dawaai lekar aati hu."Ananya brought Akash's madecines and then gave it to Akash but on seeing them,Akash threw them away and said,"Main khaana bhi nehi khaaunga aur medicines bhi nehi lunga."Ananya scolded Akash,"Tum meri baat nehi sunte aur daat mujhe parti hai Akash."He had tears in his eyes and then Ananya felt very pity on seeing him and she replied,"Abhi khaana khaana parega kyuki abhi main bhi khaana khaaungi."Akash narrowed his eyes and asked,"Sachchi mein??"She replied,"Ha."Ananya somehow made him sit on the bed and then did the puja for him and then took his blessings.He asked,"Ye kya kar rahi ho?"Ananya replied,"Jo ladies fast karti hai unhe aisa karna parta hai."Akash too bend to touch Ananya's feet and Ananya moved away from him and asked,"Ye kya kar rahe ho?"He replied,"Abhi to tumhine kaha hai na ke jo fast rakhte hai vo aisa karte hai to maine bhi kiya.Maine bhi to tumhaare liye fast rakkha hai na."Ananya nodded her head and then drank water and had food from his hand and then asked the servants to quickly serve Akash's food.After the food was served in his bedroom,Ananya made him eat the food and he was eating like a total mad and he started coughing and then Ananya gave him water.She said,"Dekha Akash meri baat na sunne ka nateeja.Mana kiya tha na ke aisa mat karo,khaana kha lo,par tum to zidd par are bethe the,meri baat nehi suni dekha na hua na pet mein dard,taklif to tumhe hi hui hai."Akash said,"Tumne meri long life ke liye khaana nehi khaaya to maine bhi tumhaari long life ke liye khaana nehi khaaya.Abhi tum bhi khao mere saamne aur promise karo kea b tum aisa koi fast nehi karogi."Ananya replied,"Aisa fast to har year karna parega."Akash made a baby face and said,"Par mere petu mein dard hota hai."Ananya burst out into laughing seeing his face and she pulled his cheeks and kissed on them and Akash too kissed on Ananya's cheeks.She looked at him and thought that he was very different from the others in his family not from the point of view of his mental status but how much he loved and cared for the persons those who love and care for him.The man who can't stay starving even for a second,he did fast for the whole day,just for Ananya's well being.Ananya was touched by his gestures and prayed to God to make him him well but never to change him without even realizing that she was slowly falling in love with him.
