Intense lOve
Her thoughts were interrupted by her phone she picked it and saw the name flashing on it he was Shree. Riya immediately answered the call
"Hello" she spoke up softly
"Rii'" a slow voice came from the other side there was kind of sweet feeling that her eyes welled up.
"Kesi hai tu wahan sab theek hai na mene Rathore Sir ko application di hai kuch day's holiday ki kuch dino mein I will come to simla"
There was concern in his each word he was speaking slowly means he was still in office she replied
"Im fine Shree tum bas yahan aajao I really need talk to you and please shree don't let anyone know that you're coming here to meet me"
Shree was rejoiced when he heard her voice she was his dearest friend and he could sense there is something really serious that's why she is calling him to come simla secretly
"I will take care of all that'" his sentence wasn't completed because another voice broke it.
"Oh techie kis se baat kar rahe ho" Liza teased him.
"Shut up liza jao yahan se I'm busy'" He tried to hush her.
"Achaw tum to aese behave kar rahe ho jese G.f hai tumhari phone pe" she teasingly added "Oops aesa to ho nahi sakta'"
Shree got angry "Kyun aesa kyun nahi hosakta'"
Riya was hearing all their argument and nodded her head in negative "Kuch nahi ho sakta inka"
Liza joked on Shree "Kyun k eek freak se sirf uske gadgets ko ishq wala love hosakta hai insano ko nahi..."
The sentence flared him up he replied Riya first "Riya mein bad me baat karta...'" Again he couldn't complete his sentence as Liza screamed "Riya" and with that snatched phone from his hand Shree tried to take it back but she was too fast for him
"Riya kesi ho, tum to simla enjoy karne chali gayi mujhe apne is battery jese friend ke saath chor kar that's not fair..."
Riya smiled hearing that while Shree shouted
"Ye battery jesa tumne kise kaha "
Again there cats and dogs type fight started they both stopped in their tracks when heard Rathore's roar "Kiya horaha hai yahan?"
Liza for avoiding his lecture handed him the phone "Sir riya ki call hai.."
Rathore tempered returned to its place and he took the phone
"Hello Riya how are you enjoying holidays?" He asked in pleasant voice.
And the session went on.
On the other hand Bibi who was busy with her chores heard her phone ringing she saw the caller I.D and became still for moment the phone was still ringing in her hand she turned her head to see Riya who was still busy with her call so she moved towards her Room closed the door and answered call
"Assalam-O-Alaikum"
"Kesi ho Bibi" The man asked her as she heard the voice her upset ness returned
"Me theek hoon ap batao kuch pata chala.." she asked in hopeful voice but there was Silence on the other side at her Question the silence that has always prevailed whenever she ask this question and the silence always meant "No" she sighed.
The man again spoke up "Wo kesi hai?"
She became angry and spoke up "Zinda hai kiya ye kaafi nahi hai or itni parvah hai to aake khud puch lijiye"
"Bibi'" voiced escaped from his mouth but he knew she was upset "Abhi aap bata do bhut jald khud pooch loonga'" His attitude was the thing that flared up Bibi she was women of soft nature but this time matter was serious
"Jald or ye jald kab aaye gi" she spoke up in angry tone.
"Bibi ap janti ho mein majboor hoon" He tried to cajole her but all in vain.
"Majboori ap kyun nahi samajhte ab apse judi saari majboori saari batein us se bhi jud chuki hai apki takleefen aapki khushiyan sab kuch itni si baat aapki samajh mein kyun nahi aati'"
He remained Silent he knew he has to bear this when she sensed his silence she thought to end the matter this time
"Ek baat aap meri samajh lo mene aapse wada kiya hai mein wo nahi torungi lekin agar kabhi bhi usne apni marzi se aapki taraf koi kadam uthaya to mein use nahi rokun gi mein use apni jesi zindagi jeete nahi dekh sakti...""
With that she cut the call she knew he won't call again as it was his routine to call once a week and just one call she sat on the bed and thought "Mujhe maaf kar dijiye ga par is baar apka saath nahi de paon gi mein mera zameer mujhe ijazat nahi dega..."
The door bell rung she immediately composed herself and came out of her room she opened the Door and saw little Meera standing there "AaO andar aao'"
Meera came inside leaping like lamb and stopped seeing Riya in front of her she eyed her from head to toe then saw Bibi "Ye kon hai?"
Bibi smiled at her and spoke "Ye Riya Didi hain shehar se aayi hain yahan ghoomne '"
Meera completely turned towards Riya "Shehar se ap konse shehar se aayi ho..."
Riya saw the small red riding hood in front of her wearing red frock over white legging and her head covered with poncho she bend down on her knees in front of her and spoke
" Main to Mumbai se aayi hoon, tumhara naam kiya hai??"
She blinked her big twinkling eyes and spoke up with cute smile "Mein mein to Saharan ki Meera Shah hoon yahan paas mein mera ghar hai mein or Bibi roz jungle se lakriyan lane jaate hain ap chaloge..."
She couldn't help but to smile at this girl so innocently she was asking every question so Riya replied in same tone
"Han chaloongi tumhare saat hi sahi hai'"
At that Meera became happy the shine in her eyes increased and she moved forward and kissed her cheek Riya smiled and kissed her back,
She stood up and asked Bibi "Fatima Bi chalen hum'" Bibi raised her brow at the change of title when Riya spoke "Mein apko Fatima Bi bulaon WO kiya hain na Bibi tohra sa ziyada buzurg ko kaha jaye to acha lagta hai par tum to abhi mujhse tohri badi dikhti ho" and winked at her
Bibi first opened her mouth in shock and saw her then laughed heartedly making her laugh too she manages to speak in between her laugh "Tohri Badi tum jitni hi hongi tumse badi hongi to bhi buzurg keh laongi samjhi.."
When the journey from "Aap" to "Tum" was covered both didn't care but at least true friendship was growing that was enough for both of them.
They enjoyed their time in jungle it was Riya's first experience but it was enjoying one the collected woods from there and in evening returned to their house. Bibi dropped meera at her home she kissed Riya and Bibi and made Riya promise that tomorrow they will also be together to which she happily agreed.
Little later in evening Riya passed by the corridor where the woods were placed a thought crossed her mind what Bibi do with these woods in whole session she forgot to ask her the main question. She searched her in the kitchen but didn't found her then she headed towards her room. She opened the door pop her head inside and observed but she was astonished when she saw her room she completely opened the door and entered inside. It was her first time in Bibi's room she never ever came here, her room was beautifully decorated even the fragrance was mesmerizing.
She was busy in scrutinizing the room when her eyes fall on a picture hung on the adjacent wall. It was picture of a man pretty much handsome one dressed up in Army uniform looking like responsible Officer. She moved forward to have clearer look of him, his eyes looked determined and the facial expression made her remind someone like him she could feel a kind of sincerity in his eyes even in picture. Her hand flew to the picture she was to touch it when a voice behind her made her stop in halt
"Ye Major Rizwan Ahmad hain'"
Riya spun around on her heel and saw Bibi standing there while Bibi calmly added
"Mere shohar'"
Riya's eyes popped out she stared at Bibi she was married and Riya thought she was maiden. She was just staring while Bibi didn't seemed to be a bit surprised she moved towards the drawer took out and album from it and sat on the bed.
Riya went near her and sat by her side "ye tumhare husband hain abhi kahan hain mene to inhe yahan nahi dekha kabhi'"
Bibi facial gesture changed and turned to be more softer and spoke in sad voice
"Yehi to nahi pata Riya ye hai kahan'" with that she picked her head and saw her husband picture.
Riya couldn't get her words "Matlab"
Bibi turned her face to see her and then spoke in almost cracked voice 'Mene tumse kaha than a Pyar qurbaniyan mangta hai kabhi kabhi bhut mushkil si, mene bhi apne pyar ke liye Qurbani di hai Riya ab bas uske nateeje ka intezar kar rahi hoon'"
Riya was staring at her face there was a ray of tender emotions flashing on her face. Bibi stood up and went to stand near window
"Chalo me tumhen ibtida se sab batati hoon"
Flash back
BiBi's Life
Fatima was a girl living with her parents in Mumbai. Her life was also the like the life of other girl studying, enjoying and dreaming for the perfect prince but time never remains same her life also took a harsh turn when in Bombay bomb blasts her parents passed away.
She couldn't believe this she became partially life less after the incident, the two most important people in her life left her like this there was no one else in her life that should take care of her after her parents. Her uncle and aunty who use to live in Village were with her all the time but uncle and aunt can't be the substitute of her parents.
After a month her uncle and aunty asked her that she can't live alone in such a big city so as per her parents' wish she should get married to their son living in Simla and should shift form here to simla. She first didn't agree but later agreed because consequence doesn't allow her to refuse. She got married and shifted to simla as "Fatima Rizwan Ahmad"
In early days of her life with Rizwan was tough it was just a named relation. There was no bonding between them it was just they were bound in a dumb relation neither she use to speak nor he as both were waiting for each other to take first step. In room they use to behave like strangers on station no communication between them until one lucky night arrived.
He woke from deep slumber due to the voice of soft sobs it felt like someone is crying; he turned around and saw Fatima sleeping at some distance from him her back was facing him but the slight tremble in her body made him realize she was crying again. Then he saw her getting up from the bed. This has happened many times she use to cry and then get up to close herself either in washroom or dressing room. But today as she was about to get up she felt a tug at her arm and immediately turned around to see him holding her arm. She was feeling really nervous and started wiping her tears with other hand.
"Kiya hua hai" he asked.
"Kuch nahi" she replied while controlling her hesitation.
"Kuch nahi hua to adhi raat ko tum shoq mein ro rahi ho" he got angry while trying to see her hiding reason "Mene danta hai" ya "meri koyi baat buri lagi"
"Mujhe ammi abu ki yaad aarhi hai mene unhe khuwab mein dekha" with that tear started to flow again.
He didn't know much about his uncle and aunt but seeing the poor girl suffering his heart melted.
The hand he was holding he pulled it lightly making her lay back near him "Ammi abu ki yaad aarahi hai isiliye room chor ke jaa rahi ho"
"Aapki neend kharab hoti" she spoke up innocently.
"Meri neend kharab hoti hai to hone do par tum ab yahan se kahin nahi jaa rahi"
He wiped the tears from her face
"Wo tumhe khush dekh kar khush honge"
With that he kissed her forehead lightly and turned to his side.
The incident left a great impact within itself she couldn't believe but she was actually returning back to her life. She uses to wait for him for his return from job and nowadays search reasons to talk to him. He was happy by that change and gave her a surprise in form of her admission in the college so that she could continue her studies her happiness had no bounds.
It was one of the day when he was on holiday and she was busy with her assignment.
She whined again "ye equation to prove hi nahi horahi hai"
They both were sitting on bed she was sitting on her side while he was lying near her
"Allah saza de raha hai tumhe bechare iklote shohar ko bore hota chor kar tum equations ko company jo de rahi ho" he teased her wife who was completely engrossed in solving equation whole heartedly and as expected she passed him angry glance and turn her side her back was now facing him.
"Ye sir bhi na saare asan sawal khud solve karwate hain or khatarnak sawal humare liye chor dete hain'" she spoke up in an completely irritated tone which made him smile at her mad but innocent wife.
He saw her hair and opened the clip in a second her neatly tied hair spread on her back he smelled her hair and appreciated her
"Tumhare shampoo ki khusboo to bhut achi hai ek dam madhosh kar deti hai' he spoke up in lost tone while she replied
"Ye to numbers barhte hi jaa rahe hain shaed equation mein masla hai ya ye hai hi galat"
She was now really annoyed.
Rizwan who was enjoying teasing her saw that his teasing doesn't affect her a bit so started emotionally black mailing her " theek hai raho apni equation ke saath humara kiya hai hum aj yahan hai phir hafte ke liye chalen jaen gey phir tum yaad karogi'"
As he was speaking she was really getting affected she closed her books and turned to him "Aap kyun naraz hote hain acha mein nahi karti kaam abhi kal karungi theek hai"
She innocently asked him and he smiled with that held her arm and made her fall on him
"Itni fiqar hai meri " he asked knowing the answer she blushed crimson at his question then raised her lashes a bit to see him and spoke "Is se bhi ziyada'" and hugged him lightly her life was complete with him.
After that the last day when he was called earlier to his cantonment for some months Fatima was really upset at that she could hardly spend weeks without him but these were months how will she spend the day arrived of his arrival she tried really hard to keep herself strong and not to cry she was wife of an Army Officer she had to be strong for him.
The time came and she said him good bye he turned to go fifteen minutes before and as he went out she couldn't resist further and cried the tears continuously flowed from her eyes when she felt a soft touch at her shoulder she turned around and saw him standing there she immediately wiped the tears but now it was no use of hiding them he cupped her face kissed her forehead and whispered "I will be back soon" she hugged him tightly around his neck she couldn't help but to think "will this be the last time she feels him" "will this be the last time she is hearing those soothing whispers those words for which she live" but she promised herself even if it is last her heart will forever belonged to him.

Ends
Bibi eyes were filled with tears she turned to Riya and spoke up
"Starting days mein unki taraf se letters and phone calls aati rahi I was at peace when I use to receive them Riya but after two months suddenly it ended'Mene bhut try kiya cantonment mein calls ki balke khud wahan gayi to pata chala jis troop ko wo lead kar rahe the ek hafte se wo troop missing hai' I was numb riya it was hard but still I made it..."
Tears streamed from her eyes "Eight months se me unka intezar kar rahi hoon or poori zindagi karti rahungi because I feel him within me and I believe he will back soon..."
Riya got up from bed and went to her she hold her hands "Itni aasani se itna bara sacrifice kiya hai tumne kese'"
Bibi smiled
"Riya love isn't the only thing if it was I would never let him go away from me but responsibilities bound us too' Unki responsibility hai humare desh ki taraf and I had to be strong for that how badly I wished we were like others but no Riya we are bound to certain responsibilities Our honor lies in being true to our Country but I said na jo log mohabbat mein zid pe aar jaen koi unhe nahi harasakta he will back I know'"
Riya wiped the tears and hugged her whispering "I will Pray'"
Ghere hain, ab hamein, yaadein be-hisaab
Bin poochhe, mile mujhe, kitne saare jawaab
Chaaha tha kya, paaya hai kya, hamne dekhiye
Dil mein magar, jalte rahe, chaahat ke diye
Tere liye, tere liye...
"Sacrifice is one of the most Purest and selfless way to love someone'Practice it daily"
