"Ghar jao"

But where was the 'ghar'? Where was his home? His home was only with Priya and he didn't have any idea where she was.

Gori teri Aankhein Kahein - Part 6

Ram returned back to KM. It was really late when he came back; a lost man who slumped on the bed, without even changing his clothes. Sleep evaded him and memories tormented him. Those happy memories which were his only strength in these tough times. He lost everything when he lost Priya. He had lost the sense of belonging with his family. He had lost interest in his business when he came to know about his family's intentions. Niharika's actions and Sid's words... they were still fresh in his mind. He had lost his mind over the revelation that he was nothing more than an ATM machine, for them. It was the most difficult day of his life. He had never felt this lost before; not when his mother left him, not when his father died, not even when he got to know of Natasha's miscarriage. When Priya had left him for three days after the Nuts-Kartik fiasco, he thought that was the worst he could feel. But, he was wrong. He felt cheated and defeated when he got to know of his "ma's" intentions. And all this because Priya was not there to support him; to tell him everything is going to be alright; to lend her shoulder to cry upon; to wipe off his tears with her pallu; to releive him of his stress by massaging his head.

Priya. The centre of his being. He clearly remebered how he had insulted her before the whole world. How he had not belived her when she told him his step-mother's reality.

"Kya saboot hai tumhare paas jo is tarah meri maa par ilzaam laga rahi ho?" He had asked her for a proof. He needed proof from his wife, his Priya, to trust her.

"Ram, aapko meri baat par vishwaas karne ke liye bhi proof chaahiye? Kya aapko mujh par, apni patni par, apne pyaar par zara bhi bharosa nahi hai?" she had questioned, with a hurt heart.

"Nahi. Main is baat par bina kisi proof ke kabhi vishwaas nahi kar sakta ki meri maa mujhse kabhi dhokha karegi. Arey, unhe zaroorat hi kya hai ye sab karne ki? Sab kuchh hai unke paas. Wo Ram Kapoor ki maa hai. Main maanta hoon ki wo meri sauteli maa hai par mujhe wo din aaj bhi yaad hai jab meri sagi maa mujhe aur mere pita ko chhodke chali gayi thi, tab inhone humein sahara diya tha. Aur ye ehsaan chukaane ke liye mujhe agar apni jaan bhi deni pade toh main hanste hanste de doonga."

"Aur main? Main aapke liye koi maayne nahi rakhti Ram? Kya aapki life mein meri koi jagah nahi hai? Aap ye kyun nahi soch rahe ki main jo kuchh kar rahi hoon woh sirf aapke liye, aapki aankhein kholne ke liye..."

"Mujhe aankhein kholne ki koi zaroorat nahi hai Priya. Main sab janta hoon. Pata nahi tumhein ho kya gaya hai. Pata nahi ye sab kyun kar rahi ho? Lekin itna janta hoon ki jo kar rahi ho wo theek nahi hai. Aisa kar ke tum hum dono ke beech sirf dooriyaan aur kadwaahat laa rahi ho Priya. Aur main is kadwaahat ke sath nahi rehna chaahta. Pls Priya, tum abhi yahan se chali jao."

"Ram?"

"Haan priya. Filhaal tum yahan se chali jao. Jab sab kuchh theek ho jaayega, main tumhein lene aa jaoonga but abhi ke liye..."

"Uski koi zaroorat nahi hai. Agar aap yahi chahte hain, toh yahi sahi," Priya had said with a choked but determined voice and walked out, without turning back.

That was the last he had seen her.

****

"Agar pata hota ki wo hamari aakhiri mulaaqaat hogi toh kabhi tumhein jaane ke liye nahi kehta," he thought and sighed.

Ram then got up from the bed and went and stood in the balcony. He gazed at the star studded sky.

"Aaj kyun itna yaad aa rahi ho? 5 saal beet gaye tumhaare bina. Sochta tha kaise jee paaonga tumse alag, par ye begairat dil.. tumhare bina bhi dhadakta hai. Ye kamzarf saansein, tumhare bina bhi chalti hain. Aur ye bemuravatt zindagi, tumhare bina hi aage badh rahi hai. Bas wafadaar nikli toh ye aankhein... jo tumhaari yaad aane par aansu baha kar mera sath deti hain."

He didn't know why, but today he was feeling an unidentified agony, an unexplainable torment in his heart. An uneasiness. He needed to feel her. Such bouts were common with him, all these years after Priya left him. They were frequent those initial years, but steadily, he had reined control over his life. Now, his days were calm and anyone who didn't know him well didn't find anything extraordinary with him. He had learnt to keep his pain locked inside his heart. Before the whole world, he was just Ram Kapoor, the businessman. It was during those lonely nights, when he would let out his feelings. Alone in his room, standing before their photoframe. Priya's favorite. He would stand gazing at it, for hours endlessly, losing himself in those beautiful memories. They would sooth him, balm his grazed and wounded heart. He would relive all those moments again. Those priceless and precious moments.

Ram went to his cupboard and took out his chocolate box. He opened it and took out a small enamel jewelry box. It contained Priya's wedding ring, the one he had selected for her without any interest and excitement. He took out the ring and tried to push it on his little finger. But it just didn't moved down beyond the tip of his finger. He let out an involuntary chuckle, thinking how loose it was in her finger. She used to wear it behind another ring, just so that it doesn't fall off.

"Tum chaaho toh ye ring change kar sakti ho. Get one of your choice and size," he had offered her after the engagement.

"It's ok Mr. Kapoor. Ye ring main change nahi karna chahti," she had said.

"Arey par kyun? Koi apne size ki le lo na jaa ke."

"Nahi Mr. Kapoor. ye meri wedding ring hai. Main manti hoon ki hamari shadi normal shadi nahi hai. But apni shadi ko lekar mere kuchh sapne they. Main rings ko lekar hamesha se hi excited rahi hoon. Meri favourite accessory hai. Aur phir ye toh meri wedding ring hai. Isse ab mera nata jud gaya hai. Main ye exchange nahi kar sakti ab."

Ram took the ring out of his finger and placed it back in the box. She had left it with Neha and asked her to return it to Ram after she is gone. She hadn't told anyone where she was going. She just went away from all their lives, mush as the same way as a sweet dream gets interrupted.

"Agar aaj tum mujhe dekhogi toh yahi sochogi na ki main kitna bada jhootha hoon. Har baar tumse kehta tha ki nahi jee paaonga tumhare bina aur kaise tumse alag yun 5 saal guzaar diye aur ab tak jee raha hoon. Shiqaayat karogi na mujhse? Toh karo na... mujhse shiqaayat karo, mujhse jhagda karo. Mujh par chillaao... gussa karo, naraz ho jao. But aa jao. Taane marne ke liye hi sahi, bas ek baar wapas aa jao Priya."

Ranjish hi sahi...

Dil hi dukhaane ke liye aa..

Aa, phirse mujhe chhod ke jaane ke liye aa..

Ranjish hi sahi..

Pehle se marasim na sahi phir bhi kabhi toh..

Rasm-o-rahe duniya hi nibhaane ke liye aa..

Ranjish hi sahi..

Kis kis ko bataayenge judaayi ka sabab hum..

Tu mujhse khafaa hai toh zamaane ke liye aa..

Ranjish hi sahi..

Kuchh toh mere pindaar-e-mohabbat ka bharam rakh..

Tu bhi toh kabhi mujhko manaane ke liye..

Ranjish hi sahi..

Ab tak dil-e-khushfaham ko tujh se hain umeedein..

Ye aakhiri shamme bhi bujhaane ke liye aa..

Ranjish hi sahi..

Jaise tujhe aate hain na aane ke bahaane..

Aise hi kisi roz na jaane ke liye aa..

Ranjish hi sahi..

"What? Lauki!! No mumma... mujhe nahi khaani! Aap jante ho na ki mujhe lauki yuck lagti hai?"

With this, Rayanshi made a face and pushed away her plate.

Priya couldn't help but smile at her daughter's dramatics. A distinct memory flashed in her mind.

*****

"Ram, pls ek baar try toh kijiye na. Maine itne pyaar se aapke liye ye lauki ki tari banayi hai. Aapko pata hai, lauki is very good for health. Upar se is tarah ki bina zyada ghee-masaale wali tari toh tasty ke saath saath healthy bhi hoti hai.

"maine mana kar diya na. Mujhe nahi khaani lauki yaar. Tum kyun mere peechhe padi ho? Ek to ye lauki hai, upar se without any masala. Is se toh achchha main neeche lawn mein ja ke ghaas hi kha loon."

"haw!! Aapne meri banaayi sabzi ka comparision lawn ki ghaas se kiya? I don't believe this! Ram, aap aisa bol bhi kaise sakte hain?"

"O madam, ye drama pls band karo. Maine aisa kuchh nahi bola hai. Aur jo bola hai wo… (Ram lowering his voice)… Sach hi bola hai."

"Kya sach bola hai? Aapko pata bhi hai ki ye kitni healthy hoti hai? Aur khaaskar ke un logon ke liye jinki diet.. umm.. thodi out of control rehti hai..."

"Tumhara matlab kya hai kehne.."

"…aur jinhein apna weight thoda kam karna hai…" she says with a little, naughty smile.

"Excuse me! Tumse kisne kaha ki mujhe weight kam karna hai? Main jaisa hoon theek hoon. Mujhe kuchh kam zyada karne ki zaroorat nahi hai. So pls, is bare mein no more discussion.. haddh hai yaar.."

"Achchha theek hai, mat khaaiyega.. but pls ek baar kam se kam taste toh kar lijiye na…"

"Priya tum kyun itni zid kar rahi ho? Maine kaha na.. main ek toh waise hi vegetarian khaane se door bhagata hoon.. upar se tum.."

"Pls.. maine itne pyaar se banayi hai aapke liye.." Priya says with a puppy face.

"Tum kya pyaar se kuchh achchha, khaane layak nahi bana sakti thi?" Ram on the verge of surrendering.

Priya's expressions changed from puppy-faced to a blazing look.

"Theek hai.. mat khaaiye. Main hi paagal hoon jo aapke liye itni mehnat kar ke kitchen mein time waste kiya. Arey mujhe toh pehle hi pata hona chaahiye tha. Aapko toh mere haath ka kuchh bhi nahi achchha lagta.."

"Ae, ek minute haan. Ye sach nahi hai. Ab tum gusse mein aisa kuchh bhi mat bolo. Tum jaanti ho ki mujhe tumhare haath ka khana achchha lagta hai. Aur is ke liye toh main tumhein compliment bhi kar chukaa hoon. Wo bhi shaadi ke kuchh hi samay baad."

Priya in a sarcastic tone.

"Oh haan! Main toh bhool hi gayi thi. Aap toh mere banaaye khaane ki tareef kar chuke hain. Aur main bewkoof ab bhi expectations liye baithi hoon. Mujhe toh pata hona chaahiye tha ki mere hisse ke compliments ka quota poora ho chukaa hai."

"arey yaar, tum kyun aisi bekaar ki baatein kar rahi ho? Maine aisa kab kaha? Achchha theek hai, main taste karta hoon" and he reaches for the spoon. But before he could even dig in the spoon, Priya swiftly takes away the dish.

"Arey bola toh ki kha raha hoon. Tum lene toh do.."

Priya takes the dish and puts it in the microwave. Ram looks at her apprehensively while she gives him a blunt look.

"Ye lijiye. Ye garam zyada tasty lagati hai."

Ram takes a spoonful in haste and cries out.

"Ouch! Garam hai!"

Priya gets flustered and reaches for the water jug. Ram is coughing all this while.

"Aap bhi na Ram.. kya bachchon jaise behave karte hain. Aapko dikhayi nahi diya ki kitna garam hai? Lijiye, paani pijiye."

She hands him the glass of water and starts rubbing his back with another hand.

"You okay now?"

Ram nods with a secret smile playing in his mind. He put his hand on hers, holding the glass of water. He then pulls her closer and takes away the glass out of their hands with his other hand.

"Ram..."

"Shhh..." He places his finger on her lips, which quiver a bit at his touch. Her whole body ripples with a current, racing through her entire being, finally concentrating on those lips, making them quiver.

Ram locks her with both his hands around her waist.

"Ab bolo. Bahot zabardasti kar rahi thi na mere sath. Ab mer bari hai." He said with a mischiveous twinkle in his eyes.

"Kya aap bhi... chhodiye mujhe." she tries to free herself.

He grins ear to ear and tightens his grip.

"Mujhe lagta tha ki aap ek gentleman hain. But abhi na aap ekdum gunde lag rahe hain."

"Hmm.. gentleman main auron ke liye hoon. Apni biwi ke sath toh gunda ban sakta hoon."

To this, Priya blushes. Ram bends forward, eliminating any distance between them.

*******

It was Bansi kaka who brought Ram out of his memroies. Ha had come with the food trolley and started laying down food on the table. He did this without making any noise, without disturbing him.

"Bansi kaka, mujhe bhookh nahi hai."

"Sir, pls thoda sa kha kijiye. Apne liye na sahi, Dadi ke liye hi."

Ram looked at him with gratitude.

"Sir, main aapka dard nahin baant sakta par kam se kam apni taraf se aapke kuchh kaam toh aa hi sakta hoon."

With this, Bansi kaka left the room.

Ram came to the table and sat down to eat. He lifted the lid of one of the bowl and saw something unappetising... Lauki!!!

But then something struck him and he silently finished his meals, with a slight smile on his face.
