Antara's POV

Riu darling pehle toh mujhe laga ki ye sab sach hain. I mean Tulip flower dekhke Antu ka muskuraana. But as I started reading further it took me to a different world. A male fig following Antu. Both were giggling n running among the flowers.

Yee sapna ek din antu kii life kaa saach ban nee wala hain nethu darling.😉

Vo song yaad aagaya mujhe Riu darling - Na na karte pyaar oye main kargayi, kargayi. Oye tune kiya kya yaar main toh margayi, margayi. Sachh main Riu darling the dream sequence was superb. Antu sochrahi thi ki kyu main usse roknayi paarahi hoon? He is a stranger n he is touching her. Dil ko toh pehle hi pata chal jaata haina ki kaun apna hain aur kaun nahi. 😳😳😳

Bilkul sahi kahan nethu darling... Dimag koo time lagta hain accet karne mein but dil too ek hi nazar ,eim pahechan jata hain.. kaun sahi hain aur kaun galat...😳

"JAAN" Haayee I can actually hear this word from Raghu. Muwaah Raghu. I miss u, ur husky voice everything. ☺️ Ok coming back to reality. Antu ka sapna tha vo. Par mujhe toh aisa nahi laga. Pehli baar Antu ko aisi odd yet beautiful sapna dikhaayi diya. Kyu na dikhe Tulip(Angel) jo hain uske paas. Uske life main acche din lane keliye. ☺️☺️

Nethu darling... You won't believe...😳... Jab main woo word likh rahi thi naa "Jaan" Mujhe bhi raghu kii yaad aa gayi... kaise usski gaheri aur intense awaz mein woo antu koo Jaan kahe ke bulata tha woo..😳.. Aisey koi kissi koo bulayein too kitna bhi gussa, nafrat kyun naa hoo kissi bhi larki kaa dil mome ki tarah bighal jayega...😳 Haan antu kee life mein ache din bhi ane wale hain... nafrat kee andhere mein pyar kii roshni joo girne lagi hain..

Raghu's POV

Aww Raghu sad hain ki vo Antu ko pura din dekhnahi paayega. Basti se nikalne se pehle vo ek baar Antu ko dekhna chahta tha. Uff kya bechaini hain. I loved it. 😉😉😉

Yee too kuch bhi nahin hain nethu darling... abhi tumne uss ki bechaini dekha kahan hain.. Mano yaa naa mano nethu darling... iss story mein raghu kaa pyar bahut intense hone wala hain... aisi intensity joo kii kissi bhi nafrat kee dewaar koo dhul mein mila de... haan GAG type kaa nahin hain yee story... uss sey bahut alag hain... par jaisa bhi hain i hope lady gaga koo aur baki sab koo acha lagey...😳

Ye Daayan kuch der baad nahi aasakti thi. Antu baahar aayi hi thi, Raghu ne bas usse ek baar dekha hi tha ki ye daayan beech main aagayi aur Raghu ko jaana pada.😡😡😡

Dayan is the ultimate kabab mein haddi..😡... But koi nahin... aisa kar kee woo khud apne aap koo musibat mein daal rahi hain..😆.. raghu koo woo jitna antara see door kar rahi hain.. raghu kii be chaini utni bar rahi hain.. aur yahin bechaini antara kee liye uss kii feeling koo din be din bara raha hain... pahele he likes antara so much... woo liking ab pyar ki taraf bar raha hain...😳... aur woo pyar ek din junnon ban jayega... aisi junnon joo Dayan kii puri fauj koo nastanabud kar dega...😆

Sattu phir Raghu ke saamne aagaya? Mere saamne aaya hota toh mere office ke building se neeche pekh diya hota usse. Acchi baatein nikalti hi nahi hain uske mooh se Satyanash kahika😡😡😡

Ruk yaar,, iss sattu kii too kaam hi hain raghu kee hath see pitayi khana..😡

Antara's POV

Mamaji aap toh gaye. Sabke nazro main aap joker the hi aur ab Mamiji ka gussa bhi jhelna padega. All the best. 🤣 Actually iss update main Mama ji thoda sa samajdaari ki baat ki. Kuch log hamaare saamne nahi hote par iska matlab ye nahi hain ki vo hamaare dil ke kareeb nahi hain. They will get upset with us, smile with us n cry with us. Very true words. 👏👏👏

Rhea was shocked after she came to know from Antu that Raghu had bought her tht Tulip flower. JANGLU? Kya yaar itna bhola bhaala, pyaara Raghu ko Janglu kehdiya. I knw vo baahar se sakt dikta hain par Dil ka bahut accha hain. Ye baat Antu ko bahut jald pata chaljaayega.😉😉😉

Rukku madam ki shaadi 80 saal ki budde ke saath? Lukchaana? Haaye kitna pyaar chupa hain budde ke iss shabd main. 🤣

Sattu ki kya band bajaaye Riu darling tumne? Muwaah. Toilet Brush hair? This word suits very well to Sattu. Gadhe se bhi gaya guzra hain. Yeah Rukku u r right. Ye Sattu sirf apne maai ke naam se sabko daraana, dhamkaana jaanta hain. 😡😡😡Riu darling mujhe vo episode yaad aagaya jisme Sattu basti khaali karwaana chahta hain aur Raghu aur Antara ek doosre ke haath thaam kar datke khade rehte hain uske saamne. I missed Raghu in this update.😔

Ye Rukku itna darr kyu rahi hain. Sattu ke saamne uski bolti band hogayi?😲😲😲

Kya karaara jawaab derahi hain Antu Sattu ke baaton ka? Kutton ko bhi seeti bhajaake hi bulaaya jaata hain. U r 100% right Antu. Ye Sattu seeti bhajaake bulaayega toh kutta bhi mudke nahi dekhega. 🤣

Cowdung se bhara huwa bucket Sattu ke sar par. Yack!!!! Sattu ko aise hi cowdung se nahaana hota toh apne ghar main nahaata. Aise khule aam apne basti main apne maai ka izzat mitti main nahi nahi cowdung main milaadiya iss sattu ne. 🤣

Antu gun ko sattu ke taraf point kiya toh sattu toh kutte se bhi tez daudne laga. Bas itni hi hain uski himmat. Mai ka kutta🤣

Mujhe iss ke barein mein jyada kuch nahin kahena,,, bas yahin kahungi kii iss chapter koo likhte waqt mujhe itna maza ayya ki kya kahoon... man too kar raha tha kii ek seq daloon jahan ee antu aur ruku apni chappal utha kee sattu koo 100 fatake marein.. but maine ussey baad mein cancel kar diya... paheli doze kee liye kuch jyada hii hoo jata😆 🤣

Chapter 40

Kuch dard ankahein anjane aao aaj bant lee hum

Behene dee akhon see asson dhool jane doo sare ghum

Antara's POV.

I moved towards ruksana and kept my hand gently over her shoulder. Her widened eyes were fixed on me. "Ruksana tum thik hoo?" I asked her gently. She gasped a bit and held my hand with her cold palms. I understood that she was nervous like hell. "Antara... Tumne... Sahib koo... Woo gun se..." her eyes moved towards the gun which was still in my hand. "Di!!..." Rhea's voice interrupted both of us and we looked towards the door of my house. I saw rhea rushing out from the door with huge grin in her face. As she came near us we both shared our victory high five with smile in our face. "Di, I swear I never saw toilet brush hair running like that." rhea giggled hard saying. "All thanks to you and mamu's cow dang treasure. If you don't understand my sign and brought that cow dang in time then I could never hatch the gun from him." I said smiling and ruffled her hairs lovingly. "Antara..." Rukusana's cold voice interrupted from my side. As I looked towards her I saw the tremendous fear in her face. "Tumne thik nahin kiya antara! Woo sahib abb chup nahin rahega... Woo iss kaa badla zaroor lega.." she said in shaky voice and held my hand. I felt her hand even turning colder. I firmly held her shaky hand and said, "Tum daro mat ruksana. Kuch nahin hoga. Kuch bigar nahin payega woo humara" I assured her blinking my eyes. "Nahin... Tum nahin jaan tee hoo ussey..." she was still not convinced a bit. "Bahut kahtaranak hain woo sahib antara... Woo kuch bhi kar sakta hain... Kuch bhi..." her face turned pale as she said those words. I remembered the conversation between satya and ruksana from the moment. "Baat kya hain ruksana. Tum uss satya see utna dar kyun rahi thi?! Kya kiya uss ney tumhare sath?" I asked looking straightly inside her eyes. Rusana breathed deep and looked away from my eyes. "Nnn.. Nahin... Kuch nahin..." She said in hesitant shaky voice. "Kuch nahin?!! Ruksana dekho meri taraf aur sach sach batao." I insisted. "Main nahin bata sakti antara. Tum naa hii jano too bhehtar hain.." Her whole feature trembled. "Ruksana.. agar tumne mujhe sache dil see apna dost mana hain too tumhe mujhe sari batein batani paregi. Agar dosti mein bharosa hii nahin raha too uss dosti kaa koi maine nahin hain." I said in determined voice squezzing her cold hand. She looked towards me with broken eyes full of sadness. I already understood that something terrible must have happened with her regarding to satya. Her lips trembled and nothing came out from her mouth. looking at her state I understood that some horroible memory was bothering her. "Ruksana..." I held her shoulder, "Its okk... Agar woo batein tumhe itni takleef deti hain too rahene de... Humein nahin sun naa.." I assured her with a smile. Ruksana sighed and held my palm over her shoulder. "Nahin antara... main bataoongi.." she said with hard voice as determined flashed in her face. "Waisey bhi... uss hadse koo main kitna bhi bhoolna chahoon par mera atit mera picha too nahin chor nee wala..." she sighed and composed herself.

"Rhea... Antara..." we heard mami's loud voice coming from the direction of our room in 1^st floor. all of our concentration moved towards the balcony. Just after a few second mami came out in balcony to find us on the road. "Tum dono wahan hoo... Thik too hoo naa tum log..." mami said in worried voice. As soon as I saw mami there I quickly hid the gun on my back. "Haan mami sab thik hain.." I quickly answered mami indicating ruku and rhea to keep quite. "Kuch der pahele woo goli chalne kii awaz aa rahi thi..." still there was worry in mami's voice. "Woo kuch nahin mami... Bas woo basti kee bache patake for rahe the..." I said quickly. "Patake for rahe the.. Itni subha?!... Yun achanak..." Mami looked utterly confused. "Arey aunty..." Ruku spoke up from my side, "Aap koo too pata hain basti kee bache kitna sararti hoo hoo gaye hain... Patakhe for rahe the humein dara nee kee liye.. Sare ke sare kabootaron koo ura diya... pareshan kar kee rakha hain." Seemed like, Ruksana begum was back in her usual drama queen mode. "Ohh acha!!..." mami seemed relieved, "Tere mama ji bhi naa antara. Had karte hain.. Main kab see kahe rahi thi kii bahar jaa kee dekh nee kee liye ki kya hoo raha hain... par woo naa khud aa rahe the naa mujhe ane de rahe the... itne der baad zabardasti bahar nikal kee ayii main..." I thanked mamu in my heart for not letting mami come out. Otherwise if she witnessed the scene I didn't know what would be the consequence. " Abb jaldi andar aa jaoo tum dono.. Main breakfast rahi hoon.. Ruksana tum bhi khana kha kee jana.." mami said and left. We all sighed in relief. "Uff popsy!! He is just impossible.." rhea said striking her head. "Tere pappa koo kyun kosh rahi hain rhea? Tuje kya lagta ki kissi nee nahin dekha.. Main bet rakh sakti hoon kii basti kii har bandh khirki kee aar see koi naa koi humein jhank rahe the... Par tu jaan ti hain ki koi bahar nahin ane wala... Humesha aisa hii hota aa raha hain yahan pe. Koi jiye yaa marein... kissi kii duniya ujar jayein par inn logon kee khilaaf koi kuch nahin kahene wala." Ruku said with disguting voice moving her eyes around the basti gazing towards all the closed window. I held her shoulder and squeezed, "Yee bandh khirkii bhi ek din khulegi ruksana.. bas inke zehen see uss dar naam kee tale koo koi khol dee too yee khirkii bhi uss din khul jayegi." I told her looking towards closed windows following her gaze. "Par woo tala kholega kaun antara... Kis mein itni himmat hain kii uss dayan kee dar see iss basti koo azad karein?!" Ruksana said in low voice. "Abhi tum andar chalo ruksana.. warna mami fir see pareshan hoo jayengi." I told her. "Di... But what to do with this thing?" rhea said from my side indicating towards the gun in my hand. I gazed at the flex shining barrel shining in early sun rays. "Don't worry rhea, I would give it back to that toilet brush hair. I don't need it anymore." I probed touching the mouth of the barrel which was still a bit heated up from the early firing.

Prashant's POV

Weeping my face off and cleaning the early morning hangover I came out from my room putting my glasses. I had to check out the monitors on security room and CCTV footages. The hall seemed so quite in early morning. I knew that Daya Naik had already left in her work. I smirked as I tossed the key of security room in my hand. Daya Naik was really a shrewd lady who took her every step with caution. She didn't trust anyone when it comes to her secrets, not even her own consents. Her men didn't even know the whole truth behind her face. She only informed them to the extent they required to know to do their work. Leave us, even her most powerful trustable follower raghubhai, I was quite surprised when I came to know that he didn't know anything about Daya Naik's illegal underworld activity. Raghu bhai owned his life to her and had a deep blind trust on her so called godmother and she was taking the whole advantage of that. She had literally turned him into his domestic faithful lion who was ready to destroy the whole world with her one indication.

But mrs naik didn't know that I was not like her other men. I had to know about her each and every secret, each and every move, otherwise my plan would never be successful.

I hope they didn't notice the thing I put on her bag last night. I was quite sure that they wouldn't. I used the trick twice before and they didn't see. I had to remove the thing as soon as they come back and checkout. As soon as I reached the main hall I saw rasika chachi coming down with arti's thali in her hand and spreading the smoke of smelling incense sticks all over chanting in low voice. "Arey chachi subha subha fire brigade koo bulana hain kya?! Itna dhuan kyun chor rahe hoo..." I said waving the hand in front of my eyes to clear the smoke. "More or less... Yee bhagwan kii arti hain... Subha subha all rooms mein is ki khusboo spreadings karti hoon main..." she said making a face in her high tech English. "Arey chachi woo too samjh aa gaya...par pahele apni grammatical mistakes too correct kar loo... woo spreadings nahin spreading hain." I said coughing as the smoke was really getting on nerve. "Haan haan... I knows... Meri English kaa stand out bahut high hain... tum logon koo samajh nahin ayega." She said twitching her proud lips. "Standard..." I mumbled in low voice. "Kuch kahan tumne?!!" Rasika chachi's ears are sharper than I thought. Before I could answer her back the main door got open with a flung and Daya Naik's dear son Satya Naik came inside just like a angered bull coming to hit a red cloth. His state was literally horrible as he marched inside like a storm with heavy steps. Ruffled hairs, eyes mad like hell and mostly his hairs and upper feature were totally covered with cow dung?!!!! Me and chachi both were stunned seeing him in that state. As soon as he entered in the main hall area he was directly hit by chachi's smoke bomb like me and coughed like hell. "Whhaa... What the hell!! WHERE DOES THIS SMOKE COMING FROM?!" he screamed out of his breath. "Sahib... woo arti..." Chachi tried to say in trembled voice. "To hell with your arti... Don't you have any other work... subha subha ghar koo polluted kar diya..." he said coughing again. "Sahib tum pareshan lag rahe hoo... Kya baat hain? Aur tum yee gobar see naha kee kahan see aa gaye?!!" chachi asked. "Pareshan... Ohh yeah... Pareshan nahin... I am going mad... I am becoming lunatic for the people living here... Just how dare she... How..." Satya was not at all in his sense. He all of a sudden kicked the center table causing the glass vase to shatter into pieces all around. Me and chachi both understood that the bull had gone nuts. "Sahib...more or less... kya kar rahe hoo... Belgium glasses ki thi... kitne saukh see laya tha..." Chachi was almost about to cry. "Belgium Glass!!!!!... My foot chachi... Nukkar kee bazaar see laya huya tha... Dekho chachi... mera dimag bahut khara hain chachi... so don't mend with me now..." his eyes were literally in fire when he said those words pointing towards chachi. Rasika chachi was shaking like a dry leaf in front of sahib. We all were aware of sahib's mad anger. "Sahib par baat kya hain?!" I asked in cautious voice. "Kuch nahin... Bas iss basti kee kuch logon kee jyada hi par nikal ayein hain... u know prashant they are even daring to insult me!!" satya said fuming. "Insult?!! Who is insulting you sahib?!!" I was a bit surprised. No one in the basti could dare to mend with Satyz. Cause, they knew really well that Daya Naik wouldn't leave that person who dared to harm his loving son anyhow. "Haan sahib... kisney insult kiya timhe?! Mai koo call kar ke bataaon kya?!" Chachi's word acted like the matchstick on the match stick on gun powder. "SHUT UP!!!!" satya's screm reflected in each and every wall of naik sadan deafening us for a while. "Just hold your tongue chachi... I am not a kid... Koi bacha nahin hoon ki baat baat pe ayi ki madad leni pare... I am enough to deal with a nave girl like her. Uss key jaisi larki too mere payar kee jooti bhi nahin hain chachi... Dikha doongi main ussey kii satya naik cheez kya hain!!" his mad outburst almost caught chachi off guard. She was almost blown off by the satya storm but hats off to the nerve of that lady that she still dared to speak in front of that mad bull. "Larki?!!... Kiss larki ki baat kar rahe hoo..." chachi asked in trembling voice. "Kuch nahin..." Satya breathed heavily trying to control the anger and feasted his palms. Jerking the t shirt in his hand, he moved towards his room with heavy steps. The hall again turned silent after he disappeared while our confused eyes were still looking towards the way he left. Chachi slowly moved at my side and the smoke again invoked inside my nose. "God chachi... Aap kii yee arti ki thali please hum se door rakhiye..." I somehow managed to say in between my coughs. "Woo sab choro more or less... ek baat batao.. yee sahib early mornings ko pagla sand kyun ban gaya?" chachi said in thoughtful face. "Hmm... lagta hain chachi pagla sand kee ego pe kissi nee dhuya maar diya hain aap kii tarah..." I said in a bit joking voice. "Mujhe too kuch understanding nahin hoo rahi hain... yee kissi larki kee baat par shoutings kiye jaa raha hain... tumne woo firings kii awaz suni thi kuch der pahele?!" chachi asked in confused voice. "Kya firing?!! Means gun firing?! Nope.. maine too nahin suna..." I was again confused by those words. My room was a bit inside the naik mansion so the outside sounds didn't come clear there. Chachi's room was in much better position. "Haan more or less gun firing... kuch der pahele jab main arti kar rahi thi too bahar see bandook chalaane kii awaz ayi... ek baar nahin.. woo bhi six times... maine counting ski thi... aur abb sahib kaa yee tufan ki tarah ghusna... acha woo apna gun too apne sath hii lee jata hain humesha... par abtoo dikhayi nahin diya.." chachi looked a bit thoughtful. Even I was thinking hard. Gun firing, chaos, they were not rare in a place like naik basti. Each and every day there must be some chaos in the streets. People who were living at the place were quite habituated with the thing. But that mad behavior of satya was giving me alarm in mind. "Itna mahenga vase tor diya more or less... buntiya.. arey ohh buntiya comes fast here..." Chachi went to look for buntiya and I moved towards the security room. Opening the lock I moved inside and looked everywhere with cautious eyes. I locked the door from inside and moved near the PC. Starting the PC I checked out the previous night activities. Nope nothing was there. I had to finish the things quickly. Bending on the wooden desk where the PC was kept I peeped on the back side. the dust and spider web had covered the narrow place fully so no one noticed out there. Invoking my hand on the dark narrow space I let out a disc which was kept hidden on the small space of the wall. Putting the disc inside the PC I checked out if all the documents, photos and videos were safe there. Since I joined here and Daya Naik gave me the charge of security system of naik sadan I was collecting all those things and keeping them secret. It was not easy to convince a lady like her. She was all hesitant to keep me in securities charge. But seemed like she was a bit satisfied by the time after 5 months of my work and she trusted me a bit more than others. That's what I wanted to gain from her so that I could get hold of her every secret.

"You are right sometimes mrs daya naik... People should not be trusted... But I would gain your trust Daya Naik and back stab you at your most vulnerable moment. Till then, let me check my weapons." My inner mind said as I check out all the documents, video clip I had taken secretly. My hands stopped when I reached to the particular clip, the clip which raghubhai told me delete some days ago. I smirked again. He didn't know that I already copied that before deleting and inserted into disc. I saw Raghubhai and that girl named Antara together on the clip. I wander that how could that clip help me?! "Hmm... If I have to mend with Daya Naik... somehow I have to face raghubhai too and that time this clip may come into handy." As my mind said I closed the window and ejected the disc from PC keeping that in its safe place where no one could find that.

Antara's POV

"Main woo din kabhi nahin bhool sakti antara... bure sapne kii tarah jitna bhi bhoolna chahoon utna hii yaad aa jata hain.." ruku slowly told me the whole story with reluctant voice. Even my whole feature turned numb and filled up with disgust after hearing her story...

Ruku told me about the very day when she went to naik sadan to give ajji her favorite biryani which her mother made for ajji. No one was there in naik sada n instead of ajji and that satya. As soon as she greeted ajji goodbye and came out a hand dragged her at the dark corner of the room. She was so afraid at the moment when she found herself pinned against wall and captured by satya. Satya's nasty smile and greedy eyes gave her bad indication. She was well known to satya's nature. She was about to scream but he made her mouth shut with his hand so tightly that she couldn't even scream. She tried to free herself but satya held her tightly and forcefully dragged her to the room. All the way she struggled to get free of his hand but she was nothing compared to his power. It seemed like evil possessed him on that day. No one was there to save her, closing the door on his room, he forcefully threw her on the bed. Ruksana cried and lterally begged to him to let her go but he was just enjoying her state with evil smirk. She again tried to run but satya grabbed her again. Throwing her on the bed he was about to fulfill his evil intentions. Ruksana left all hope at that time. She was crying like hell and begging to god for saving her. At the moment the door was banged with a huge bang and she found raghu on the door...

Ruksana was crying silently hiding her face in her palms. I was all numb and speechless after listening to her story. I never expected that a lively and happy go lucky girl like her was hiding so deep pain in her.

I hold onto her shoulder and she looked towards me with swollen face which made my heart shatter into pieces. I never saw her in that state. Her eyes overflew with fresh tears and she hugged me tightly crying out her heart. I embraced her tightly and caressed her to give comfort. "Bas ruksana... aur nahin... main jaanti hoon tum pe kya biti hogi uss waqt mein..." Even a lone tear escaped from my eyes. How many lives would that evil people ruin. Me, ruksana... How many people would be affected by them?!

"Antara..." as she spoke between her cry her voice chocked, "aaj bhi mera rooh kanpta hain jab bhi main uss waqt koo yaad karti hoon... uss sahib kaa janwar jaisa chehera aaj bhi mujhe yaad aa jata hain joo mujhe noch nee kee liye aa raha tha... Pata nahin agar uss waqt raghu nahin aa jata too mera kya hota." She was shaking badly on my hold. "Ruksana.. shant hoo jaon ruksana... woo waqt bit chukka hain.. abb woo yahan nahin hain." I tried to console her. "Bahut gussa atta hain mujeh uss pee antara... bahut gussa atta hain... Par jab bhi mujhe uss pal kee barein mein yaad atta hain main kamzro par jati hoon antara... maan loo jaise meri rooh tak kaanp jati hain... aur uss shaitan koo pata hain yee sab... issi liye mujhe baar baar uss pal ki yaad dilate raheta hain. Bahut bura hain woo antara... shaitan hain woo... jita jata shaitan..." her voice was totally drenched with disgust and hatred towards that satya. Even my whole feature was shaking in anger after listening to ruksana's story. At first he was nothing but a looser to me but ruksana's story made me understood that what kind of degraded person that satya was. I was there to deal with Daya Naik but that day I decided that I wouldn't even live that satya. I would punish him for what he did to ruksana.

After some moment ruksana lifted her swollen face and looked at me. I was feeling so bad for everything. "Sorry ruksana... maine tumhe woo sab yaad dila diya... mujeh nahin poochna chahiye tha... I am sorry..." I said gravely. "Nahin antara..." ruku denied rubbing her moist from her chicks. "Tumne too mera bahut bara bojh utar diya.. pata hain yee baat maine kissi see bhi nahin kahan tha... Naa mere ghar walon see naa mere kissi dost se... sirf raghu aur machmach koo pata tha... aaj paheli baar maine tumhe sabkuch khul kee bataya... sach kahoon antara... bahut halka lag raha hain apna dard baant kee..." she sighed and smiled in between her tears. I smiled and grabbed her hand, "Tums ach mein bahut brave ho ruksana. Kissi larki kee sath aisa hadsa hoo too mano jaise us ki jine ki sari wajah khatam hoo jati hain. Tum fir bhi has rahi hoo, aur bakio koo bhi hasa rahi hoo. Tum sach mein ek example hoo baki larkion kee liye." I said with genuine smile. Ruku's smile broadened and she held my hand with her both palms. " Kya karein antara... apne logon kee akhon mein asoon too nahin dekh sakti naa... isi liye sara gham andar chupake hasna parta hain... tumse bhehtar yee aur kaun samjah sakta hain antara." she said with a shy. Both of us stayed in silent for a while. From that moment our connection went deeper as we felt that we somehow share the same situation. Both of us was hiding our pain deep inside and smiling with all our might to make the people around us happy. After that long moment of silence ruksana smiled again, "Hmm waisey.. meri tareef karne see pahele khood apne barein mein bhi too kaho antara... Mujhe too abhi bhi yakeen nahin aa rahi hain. Tumhe gun chalani ati hain aur woo bhi itni achi aim hain tumhari..." she was a quiet amused. "Arey nahin... aisi koi baat nahin hain..." I felt a bit sigh. "Koi baat nahin hain matlab?! Abb yee mat kahena kii tum woo bandook nahin chala rahein the.. tumhare andar kisis ki rooh ghoos gayi thi..." she teased again. I laughed a bit and said, "Nahin.. actually Kashmir mein mere ek friend ke pappa joo ki army mein hain.. unho nee hii mujhe shooting sikhaye hain... Cornel uncle bahut pyar karte hain mujhse." I smiled as I remembered our gunfire competition. "Sach mein antara.. tumhari jaisi larki aaj tak nahin dekhi maine. Tu mujhe kahe rahi thi... Hum log too bas kuch bhi hoo.. chup chap whan see nikal nee mein hii bhalayi samajh tee hain... bahut kam logon mein woo himmat hoti hain kii apne sath hone wale na insafi kee khilaf awaz uthayein... aur tu bhi unn insaan mein se ek hain." she said. I smiled at her words, "Pata hain ruksana. Pappa humesha kahete the ki himmat hum sab ke andar hote hain... lekin hum sab apni himmat pe dar kaa tala lagayein baithe rahete hain... aur usey bahar nahin ane dete. Bas zarurat hain uss tale koo kholne ki.. Agar wo tala ek baar khul jayein too uss insaan ko kissi se bhi dar nahin raheta!" I told her. "Matlab..." she looked a bit confused. "Matlab... Ek baat batao rulksanaa... jab satya nee tumhare sath zabardasti karne ki koushis ki too kya tumne police mein uskey khilaf complain ki thi..." I asked her. Ruksana's lips twitched in disgust. "Kya fayda hota antara?! Yahan kee police bhi too dayan kee ishare pee nachte hain. Kuch nahin karte woo log." Ruku informed me. "Yahin too baat hain ruksana. Yaad hain tum subha mujeh kya kahe rahi thi.. kii is basti mein kissi koo bhi himmat nahin hain ki woo daya naik kee khilaf khara hoo sake. Lekin tumne kabhi yee socha ruksana ki agar tum ane kadam agey lete too sayad tumhare sath bahut sare logo kee himat bar jati. Kissi koo too suruwat karni parti hain ruksana." I tried to get the point to her. "Kaise antara... Tum too jante hii hoo ki kitne taktwar hain woo log. Joo bhi unke khilaf hote hain woo apni zindagi see hath dho baith tee hain..." she said in worried voice. I sighed a bit and said, "Marna too hum sab koo ekdin hain ruksana...Par agar hum sab maut ki dar see aise chu rahe too shaitan aise hii humare dar kaa fayda uthayega aur hum pee raaz karega... aisi zdar dar kee sanse lene see too maut bhehtar hain..." she gasped a bit and looked towards me with worried eyes as I stated those words, "Pata hain ruksana.. Cornel uncle kahete the mujhse kii insaan ki sab sey bare hathiyar uskey dimag aur dil hote hain... Bandook kee nokh pee too koi bhi raaz kar sakta hain lekin joo insaan apne dimag kee akal aur dil kee hausle kaa sahi ishtemal kar sakta hain woo insaan kissi bhi jung koo jeet sakta hain... chahein uske dushman kitna bhi takatwar kyun naa hoo..." I said with confidence. "Par antara... hum kya kar sakte hain?!" Ruku was still confused. "Yee too mujhe nahin pata ... Bas main itna jaanti hoon ki aisey hathon mein hath dhare hum baithe nahin rahe sakte...Waqt aa gaya hain ki hum unke mooh par jawab de... Bas ek baat yaad rakhna hain ki humein unse darna nahin hain..Bass!" I said with determined voice.

Ruku smiled so suddenly and said, "Bilkul us ke tarah ziddi hoo..." I was a bit confused by her words. "Kis ki baat kar rahi hoo tum?" I asked her with surprise. "Raghu!!!..." she said with widening her smile again making me numb. For a moment I couldn't even talk as she mentioned his name. I didn't know why each and every moment of my life kept me reminding about him. "Woo bhi bilkul aisa hii hain jaan ti hoo tum.. Ziddi... Kuch bhi than lee too ussey khatam karein bina chain nahin leta... dekha jayein too kafi sare mel hain tum mein aur raghu mein..." Ruksana was about to tell something else but I interrupted. "RUKSANA!!!" she was taken a back with my sharp voice. as she looked at my face her expression got confused. She must have noticed the sudden hard look in my face. "Ruksana please... tum se ek request hain... chahein kuch bhi kahe loo... par raghu see mera compare kabhi mat karna... kabhi nahin!!" as I stated those words with hard voice ruksana stood still for a while. I looked away from her confused face and sighed. Ruku kept her hand on my shoulder and said, "Antara ek sach baat bol... Tu raghu koo pasand nahin karti naa... Maine dekha hain uss kaa zikar atein hii tu mayus hoo jati hain." she said. I took a deep breath to fulfill the hollow empty pit of sadness on my chest, to suppress the inner wound and tears which I got everytime listening to his name. I was much habituated than before so not a single tear came out of my eyes though my heart bleed several times reminding about my dead loved once face. I just sighed keeping my palms balled into feast. How could I say ruksana that I just not liked... It was much deeper than any mere dislike...

"Thora bahut too main tujhe bhi jaan nee lagi hoon antara... Tumhari pasand na pasand thora bahut too samajh ati hain mujhe abb... Par yakeen kar mera... Raghu bilkul waisa nahin hain jaisa tu usey samajh rahi hain. Haan woo thora akdu hain... baat karne ki tameez nahin hain uss mein... bahut jald dimag garam hoo jata hain tera... gussa atta hain too aisa mano ki poori duniya koo aag laga de... Humesha kissi naa kissi kee sath maara piti kart a raheta hain... par jaanti hain antara woo unn logon koo marta hain too hum logon kee bhalayi kee liye.. kyun kii agar unn logon koo woo sabak nahin sikhata too sayad hum logon kee pass jo thora bahut chain aur sukkon hain, woo bhi nahin raheta." Ruku said trying to convince me. "Agar itna hii fikar hain ussey sab kii too usney teri madad kyun nahin ki?!! Kyin teri madad nahin ki satya kee khilaaf complain karne mein?" I asked snapping back to her. "Uss ney satya koo nahin chora tha.. sach mein... itna mara the uss ney satya koo uss din.. ki bas samjho uss kii jaan bakhs di thi kisis tarah... satya kee khilaf usney bhi kahan tha complain kar nee ke liye... woo taoyar bhi tha... par uss dayan nee fir see apni melodarama start kar di..." Ruku's face became hard, "Dayan ne sab jaan ne kee baad raghu kee samne apna nakli asoon bahata raha... Raghu ke payar par gaya tha woo apni so called bte koo bacha nee ke liye... taa ki raghu usey ek aur mauka de... Aur raghu unhe mana nahin kar sakta tha..." ruku said with disgust in her voice. "Yahin too uss kii sab sey bari problem hain ruksana kii woo Daya Mai kee liye kuch bhi kar sakta hain... Kuch BHi!!!" I said with cold voice. "Pata hain antara aaj bhi kabhi kabhi mujhe us ski akhon mein sharmindagi dikhti hain.. maaf nahin kar paya hain woo apne aap ko... par mujeh uss see koi sikwa nahin hain antara. Uss kaa halat hii kuch aisa tha..." I silently listened to her every word without further comment, "Bahar see pathar jaisa lagta hain... Par uss key andar jhank lo too pata chalega ki bechare kee andar kya chupa hain... abhi bhi uss key andar woo bacha chupa huya hain joo 12 saal ke umar mein apna sab kuch kho chukka tha... Uss kee liye dil mein khot mat rakh antara... thora pagal hain par bahut acha larka hain... tu uss sey baat karegi antara?! Main milwa doon tum dono koo?!... Tum dono ek dusre kee dard koo jitni achi tarah se samajh paoge aur koi nahin samajh payega. Agar humare zindagi mein bilkul humare hii tarah koi humdard hoo naa too dard bhi bahut kam hoo jata hain." ruku looked towards me with expectant eyes. I somehow forced a painful smile to her and said, "Jo khud dard deta hain woo humdardkaise ban sakta hain ruksana?" I just said with low voice. her eyes widened a bit as her hand slowly fell down from my shoulder. "Tera kahene kaa matlab kya hain antara?!" she asked me. "EK aur req hain ruksna..." I changed the topic, "Aaj subha mere aur satya kee beach joo kuch bhi huy yee tum raghu koo kissi bhi tarah see nahin batana.." I knew that she might discuss the thing with raghu as they seemed close friends. "Huh! Par kyun?! Raghu koo pata hone see too acha hoga... Main galat nahin hoon too woo satya abb har mumkin koushis karega tujhsee apne insult kaa badla lene kee liye. Tu too samajh gayi hogi ki wok is had tak jaa sakta hain... Raghu koo pata hone see woo too satya pee nazar rakh sakta hain..." ruku said. "Tumhe kya lagta hain... Raghu kabhi daya naik kee khilap jaa sakta hain? Aur daya naik as usual ussy satya kaa baal bhi baka nahin karne dega!!" I said plainly. "Antara tu fir see galat samajh rahi hain..." ruku tried to explain something. "Ruksana please... wadha karo mujhse kii tum raghu yaa naik sadan kee kissi koo bhi kuch nahin bataogi..." I demanded. Ruku was not at all ready but somehow I convinced her. As she left with bitter face I looked around the empty room with a sigh. My eyes fell on the tulip which was kept on the table. Another deep painful sorrow burged inside me all of a sudden as I remembered ruku's word, "tum dono ek dusre kee dard koo jitna achi tarah see samajh paoge aur koi nahin samajh payega."

Why would he help me or understand my pain. He might have saved ruku from satya's hand but he would never come to save me... he just couldn't. Why would he?! I was no one to her... for the time being, I was just his irritation and sometimes cause of a bit curiosity and soon I would turn out to be his sworn enemy when he would come to know the truth. He wouldn't even wish to see my face then. That's why I didn't want to keep any expectation and favor from him. I didn't know why those thoughts give me so much pain each and every time when it came to my mind. I remembered that how desperately he was trying to give me the tulip and seek forgiveness from me. Would he really do the same if I told him at the momet that I was the saved victim from their planted bomb and came there to seek my justice? I guess not...
