PART 5

" sam mujhe ETF nai aana " arjun said after the meeting

" arrey tere flight ke liye aur 8 hours hai , kahaan rehega tu itne time ke liye ?" sameer asked

" mein airport chala jaata hoon , flight prepone kar loonga " arjun insisted

" arrey aa na yaar , shree se tho milke jaa , tere samjhe ya samjaaun ko bohut miss karta hai " sameer said

" sam , tu nai manega na ?" arjun asked and sam just smiled

Sameer drove to delhi ETF

***

" who mandir ke wahaan par tel gira hai mam " the sweeper said

" hmmm" saakshi said absent mindedly and continued walking , she was lost in her own world

She had not heared what the sweeper said

Arjun and sameer entered the delhi ETF

" waise aisha kaise hai ?" sameer asked while entering the office

" as if you don't know , I know you love her dude and you talk to her all day whenever you get time , atleast mujhse toh mat chuppa , anyways she is fine " arjun said and looked up

He was shocked looking at her , for a second he doubted whether he knew her , she had lost a lot of weight , it looked as if she starved all day , her ever twinkling eyes were tired , she had heavy dark circles , her smile , which was always there an her face no matter what the situation maybe had no smile today , she looked lost , she looked as if she had no enthusiasm in life

He also noticed that she was without any makeup , even her bangles were missing

Her look hurted him , he felt guilty

She walked and suddenly she fell down hard and hurt her head

Sameer and others ran to her to help her

Arjun was shocked and stuck in his place only , she didn't create any drama

The saakshi he knew would cry in pain and make a scene but this saakshi was quite and she forgot how to speak

" mam , maine kaha tho tha ki yahaan tel gira hai " the sweeper said

" tel gira hai tho saaf kyun nai kia ?" shree asked

" saab mai detergent lane gaya aur mam gir gayi , tel paani se thodi saaf hota hai " the sweeper said

" teek hai , jaldi se saaf kardo warna koi aur bhi gir sakta hai " sameer said and helped a quite saakshi

" tum teek ho saakshi ?" sameer asked and she just nodded

" maine saara report work khatam kar diya hai , kya mein ghar jaa sakti hoon sameer ?" saakshi asked giving him the file

" ok " sameer said

He knew saakshi will see arjun and her mood will be better

Saakshi took her bag and started walking , she was limping

Shree stopped her " tumhaare pair mein chot aayi hai aur tumhaare sir se bhi khoon aa raha hai , first aid tho karke jaa?" he said

" chot tho lagi hai , par pair mein nai , dard ho raha hai , par pair mein nai , aur khoon ? my head is not bleeding that much , i'll manage myself , don't worry shree " saakshi answered and continued walking

She crossed arjun and their hands touched , she was so lost that she didn't even see him standing infront of her .

" sorry " she said softly without even looking back and continued walking

Arjun was seeing her only , he expected her to see him but she was so lost that she didn't even see him

He realised his mistake , he realised that he shouldn't have sent her away from him , she had become arjun now , the ever smiling girl disappeared , she had become someone he didn't know

He saw the auto wala ask her the address thrice after which she answered

He took a deep breathe

***

" tune kaha bhool jayegi tujhe , kisi aur se apna dil lagayegi , tujhe andaaza bhi hai who yahaan kis halaat mein hai , tere aankhon se aansoo poch " sameer said

Arjun wiped his tears , he hadn't realised when tears had started coming

" sir aap roh rahe hain , aapne tho uski halat bas thoda sa dekha , hum tho pichle chaar mahino se usse aise hi dekh rahe hain " shree said

" kuch khati bhi hai who ?" arjun asked

" nai sir , hardly kuch khati hai , half the time she is lost " shree answered

" robot ban gayi hai , aati hai apna kaam karti hai aur fir ghar chali jaati hai , now she is always on time , it looks as if she doesent sleep that much " sameer said

" haan sir ek aur baat , usne bhi cutting chai peena shuru kiya hai , din mein cum se cum 5 baar tho cutting chai peeti hai " shree said

" she hardly speaks , jab tak usse koi kuch poochta nai who kuch bolti nai " sameer said

" tum logon ne usse cheer karne ki koshish nai ki ?" arjun asked

" bohut kiya sir , par usse kahin aana hi nai " shree said

" iss liye tu insist kar raha tha ki mein yahaan aaun ?" arjun asked sameer

" haan yaar , uski halat dekhi nai jaati , takleef hota hai usse dard mein dekhte hue " sameer said

There was complete silence for the next 5 mins , arjun was thinking deeply

" maine soch liya hai " arjun announced

" kya ?" sameer asked

" mein saakshi ko apne saath Mumbai leke jaa raha hoon , tu uska transfer kara de " arjun said

Shree and sameer laughed happily

Shree hugged arjun in happiness and then realised what he did , he immediately broke the hug and said " sorry sir "

Arjun engulfed him in a hug

" mereko ?" sameer asked

" aaja " arjun said and all three hugged

***

" saakshi ka address koi dega mujhe ?" arjun asked sipping his cutting

Sameer gave him saakshi's address

" sir agar who aapse naraaz hui tho ?" shree asked

" tho mein usse mana loonga , ek baat tho pakka hai , mein delhi se saakshi ko lekar hi jaaunga " arjun decided

" all the best sir " shree said

" mera aashriwad hamesha tere saath hai baalak " sameer said in a baba style

" thank you swaamiji " arjun said and all laughed
