That means he was lying to her.. "yes I am sure maam.. 312 se koi order nahi aya hai'"
"ok then cancel math karo.. but bring it to 311.. I'll take it to him.."
"as you wish maam.."
After 5 minutes she took the food and knocked at his door.. "tum yaha kya kar rahi ho..? meine kaha na mein kha chukka hu'"
"sorry ye aapke keliye nahi the.. mereliye hai.. wo kya hai na akele khane ka man nahi tha.. isiliye.. kya mei yaha baitke kha sakti hu.." she asked sweetly. 😳"ajeeb ladki hai.." Arjun thought.."ok aajao.."
She came and sat near on the chair near to his bed and he sat on the bed leaning back on the pillow. "bade ache khichdi hai.. " she said smelling it. "waise aapne kya khaya..?"
"wo' mein..wo.." Arjun couldn't think of anything. "dimaag pe ithna pressure math daaliye.. mujhe patha tha aapne nahi khaya hai.. ye aapkeliye hai.."
"par tum keh rehe the ki.."
"agar such bola hota tho aap mujhe andar aane detha kya..? wo samjhe samjhao looks dethe bhaga detha.."😉 she said smilingly. Even he couldn't help his smile.😊."wow.. sir.. aapko tho smile karna bhi aathe hai.." she was surprised..😳
"kya matlab?" he asked back. "nahi wo kya hai.. apko aise zyada nahi dekha.. isliye' legtha hai ki yaha ke doctors ke hatho me sachmuch jaadu hai'" she was so happy."please sir.. aap aise hi muskurathe rahiye.. thab aap janoge ki life kithne haseen hai'"😊
He was looking at her innocent face. Her last line reminded of his past..
Flash back:
Arjun was back from the office. Roshni had prepared his favorite food for the first time.. she was waiting for his surprised look in his face. He entered with a frown on his face. He was so angry that he dumped the file on the table and heavily sat on the single sofa. He was so disturbed. He kept his head back on sofa and closed his eyes trying to relax. But in vain. Roshni was watching all these. She smiled and came in with a glass of water and placed it on the nearby table. She stood behind the sofa.. slowly placed both her hands on her shoulder and placed a small kiss on his fore head " kya hua jaan.. kyu ithne pareshan ho..?" he was feeling relaxed with her touch.."kuch nahi Roshni.. ye log meri dimag kha jayenga.. agar koi high profile ke aadmi ko chuulo tho uupar se call aathe hai.. wo kuch bhi kare tho koi baath nahi.. agar mein kuch kaho tho.. "😡
"oh tho kisisko pakaake aarahe ho.." she thought.😉 "are aise kon is duniya mein aagaya jo ACP Arjun Rawte ke dimaag khane bare mein soch liya' use tho mujhe milna hi hoga'"
"kyu..?"
"ye puuchne keliye ki unhe konsi flowers ki Reith pasand hai.. jaldi hi order karna hoga na'😉"
Arjun couldn't believe her attitude. He just smiled with his whole heart instantly relaxing. She saw his smile and was so happy. "you are unbelievable Roshni'" he said. "wo tho mein hu.. warna aapke biwi kaise hote..?" they laughed and hugged each other. She was so happy.. ".. aap aise hi muskurathe rahiye.. thab aap janoge ki life kithne haseen hai'" she said still hugging him.😊
Flashback ends.
She could see tears in his eyes.. he was silent for some time when she spoke to him. When she looked back she saw tears in his eyes about to fall."maybe I reminded of his past.."she felt so sorry.
"sir' kya hua.. sab teekh tho hai na'?" he suddenly snapped out and looked at her.😡 And tried to get up hurriedly. But the wounds in his ribs didn't allow him.."aah'"
"sir sambhalke.. apne aap ko ithna dard math dijiye.. "
"tum kya janogi kisi ke dard ke bare mein..? kisi ke khone ke bare.. ?"😡
"actually sir.. mein jaan sakthi hu' kyu ki agar aap apke wife ko khoya hai, tho mein meri friend.. meri behen ko khoya hai'" she was trembling with rage. 😡"or mein janthi hu ki aap kya feel kar rahe ho.." she was about to go. She reached the door "please khana khalena.. or tablets bhi'" she went out. He was feeling so bad for her. Of course she knows the pain.. he sat on the bed for a while. Then took his food and went out.
Someone knocked her door." Kaun hai?" no answer. Knocked again. She opened the door. " sir aap yaha?"
"wo.. .. wo kya hai na akele khane ka man nahi tha.. kya mei yaha baitke kha sakta hu.." she allowed him to get in. he silently came in and sat on the chair. She was just standing there. He slowly started to eat and she sat on the bed. After food he took his tablets. She offered water and took back the tray from him. And then sat on the bed. Both were silent for a while. "tum teekh kah rahi thi.. tum mere dard samach sakti ho.. I am sorry mein tumhare dard nahi samach payi'"
She couldn't believe her ears. There was still pain his eyes. "sir its ok.. mujhe bhi aapse gussa nahi hona chahiye tha.. I m sorry.."
He was not actually listening well.. he was lost I his thoughts.."tum us din sahi kah rahe the.. yaad usi ko karthe hai.. jo dil ke bohot kareeb hothe hai.. meri Roshni bhi the.. meri dil ke bohot kareeb.. bohot.."
She had never heard him saying her name. she was lost in his words. Suddenly he woke up. "sorry mein tumhe disturb kiya.. aise lag raha tha ki koi friend se baath kar rahe ho.. sorry" he was about to get up.
"rukiye sir.. agar aapko ek friend ke zaroorath hai tho mein hu yaha.. life mein ek friend ke zaroorath koi mujhse puuche.. mein yahi hu' aap mujhse baath kar sakthe ho.."
Arjun was speechless to hear this. He went and stood in the balcony. There was a mild wind about. It was soothing. She stood by him. "tho kya mein tumse baath kar saktha hu'?". He asked.
"of course sir' believe me you will feel better.."
He was thinking for a while.. then he started..how first time they met'how their friendship started..her view about life' how they decided to marry' their life after that.. she could see his emotions running on his face.. he was smiling.. joking.. she laughed with him..he was so calm..😊
Then he reached the point were he had to cross his roads with Sikander.. about her being kidnapped.. about that fateful night.. she saw the guilt of not being able to help her.. he had tears flowing through his cheeks..😭
Then suddenly she saw the change.. he was determined to catch him.. still he was crying.. she hold onto his shoulder made him sit down and sat near to him.. she took his hands " its ok sir' we will get him.. I promise'" he was looking into her eyes. He was feeling peaceful. "don't know why.. I feel so 'so'" he couldn't complete. "its ok sir.. I can understand. That's the power of friendship.." she smiled.
"thanks Sapna..thanks a lot'" he smiled. "I think I should go now..we have a long trip tmrw.. goodnight.." "goodnight Sir.."
That night he slept peacefully without any sleeping pills. She was so happy. " kaash aap yaha hota Roshni.. you would have been the luckiest lady in the world'" she too slept peacefully.
