Part I...
He was damn irritated! The wait...for someone...always was too irksome for him! And that too...when he had to wait for someone in a nasty corner of the garden with no trace of the very person for almost half n hr...and with such wonderful presents of mosquitoes...being the 23rd bite on his left cheek... Pratap Singh felt like shooting himself!
The beautifully decorated garden...for handsome guests...was not hurting him more than the fact...that...he was being kept waiting for sooo long!... He...didn't kno...how to react!
Wait! Footsteps!... Yes! He cud hear them coming closer! Someone was running ...n then stopping...walking...again stopping...and...again...running...and..
Finally! He cud get a glimpse of her...!!!!
Oh my god!
She was dressed in a pure white gown!... She looked like...an angel! A princess!... Her dream girl!!!
She finally ran her final steps...and stood right before her!
He couldn't breathe! As if he had lost all his senses! He just...stared at her! The moon poured all her blessings over her...and there she stood... A pure serene beauty!
He was sooo engrossed in looking at her that he cud not pay attention to what she spoke out very softly...but within a couple of minutes...he cud gather something...
'' Tum chale jaao Pratap! Main nhi aa skti tumhare saath! Ye thik nhi hoga! Mera pariwaar...sb ki aankhon me gir jaayga Pratap...sirf meri wajah se...
Aisa nhi ho sakta... Main aisa nhi kar sakti...''
Pratap Singh stood dumbstruck! What's she telling?
'' Ye tum kya bol rahi ho Ajabdeh! Tum...tum...hosh me to ho???... Agar tum aaj nhi gayi mere saath...tum jaanti bhi ho kya hoga...??? Tumhare pariwaar tumhari shaadi kisi aur se karwa denge... Ek aise insaan se...jise tum thik se jaanti bhi nhi ho...!! Kaise bitaaogi tum uske saath??? Kaise bhul paaogi tum mujhe...???''... He was extremely disparate...
'' Main nhi jaanti pratap...main buss itnaa jaanti hoon...ki main apne pariwaar k aage...koi kadam nhi utha sakti... ''...she looked away!
Pratap...stood silent! He cud feel a drop of tear roll down his cheeks!
'' to tum itni taiyaari...apni sagaai k liye ki ho...??''
'' Haan...aur behetar ye hi hoga ki tum mujhe bhool jaao aur zindagi me aage badho!''...
Pratap was about to break down...
'' Ye aakhri faisla hai tumhara?''...his voice broke...
'' Haan...''
'' Kyun Ajabdeh???!!! Kyun!!!!???? Kya kumee hai mujhme Ajabdeh? Buss itnaa ki main tum jaise ameer nhi hoon...tumhare hone waale pati jaise doulat nhi hai mere paas...? Kyun Ajabdeh? Pata to tha tumhe ye sb! To phir kyun aane diya mujhe apne itne kareeb...? Kyun itne sapne dikhaye!!?''...he couldn't speak anymore...
What hurt him most were...the cold eyes of her beloved...
She had not a bit of emotions in them...
'' Kaise badal gayi tum itni Ajabdeh!!!??? Kaise...???!!!... Ajabdeh meri aankhon me to dekho! Ajabdeh kucch to bolo...!''
'' buss itnaa bolna hai...ki agar tum yahaan se abhi nhi nikle...to tumhe security bula kar dhakke maar k nikaal doongi!''...
Pratap...could not believe what he heard...nor could he believe his eyes...
The figure before him...slowly turned...and started to move away...and faded behind the backyard... And he...cud speak...nothing more!!
Ajabdeh Punwar...stood in the backyard...with n immense pain in her chest...
If only...he knew...
Err... I really don't know know how it is...do comment if you feel like. .. I might continue then...
