"Bhaisaaab...kuch suna aapne " Kamini shrieked in her high pitched voice.
Ohhh...her BHAISAAB just broke my heart. I wish I cud tell her how I feel about her. *Sighs* Anyways that's a story for some other day.. "Kya hua kamini? Kyu chilla rahi ho?" I replied picking my files.
"Aree Bhaisahab! Zara file se nazar uthaakar dekhiye!", She shrieked.
"Haaye, main Mar Jawan!", She sat heavily on the bed, banging her head with her palm.
"Kya hua Kamini", I said, moving close to her.
"Suman... Suman ka accident Ho gaya hai Bhaisahab!!", She yelled.
I wish I could tell her to keep her freaking voice low. It blasted my ear drums. Sigh! I guessed this wasn't the right time.
Coming back to the topic, I reacted gently.
"Toh, Usmein hum kya karein", I said, slight emphasis on Hum.
"Aree Bhaisahab! Problem woh nahi hai. Shravan uske saath hai, hospital mein"
The word Saath blasted me. What not I'd done to tear them apart? Buried my conscience, lied to my own flesh, payed a fortune to Berry. All down the drain. And the result was, my own son was with her, apparently after an accident. My foot!
"Kamini jaldi taiyar ho jao hume hospital jana hai."I said. She looked confused" Par BHAISAAB hum kyu jayenge hospital?" She asked driving wedges through my heart.
Damn you women !! Cant you speak a sentence without that stupid word?!
"Kamini try to understand. Agar hum wha nahi jayenge to shravan ko bura lagega" I replied fixing my tie.
Chalo isi bahane I'll get to spend some QUALITY TIME with her. "Kamini ke khayalo me baad me kho lena ,right now focus on Mission Shravan ka pyar!! My inner voice chided
"Arey yar where the hell is this Kamini?"
Women i tell you...think if they paint their faces like walls shown in asian paints ads ,they will look prettier. Hey!! Dont get me wrong, Kameeni oops...just a slip I mean Kamini is beautiful. *dreamy eyes*
We drove to the city hospital where Sumo was admitted. I creaked open the door to find Suman bandaged in the leg and a sling in hand. Nothing major, thank God - I thought
But my head was alarming. My son , yes my very own blood was holding tight onto her hand.
I wish he wouldn't be so desperate at it.
"Ahem!", I cleared my throat to break their eyes lock.
"Tum kaisi ho Suman beta"
I had to admit Here that ladies, like Kamini *grinning* are so damn good at throwing sugary words at opponents. But I just couldn't . Look at that lady! So much liberty! Sometimes I agree with Shravan that women ARE messy to handle ,*cough* Kamini is an exception though
"Aree Bhaisahab! Itni chott lagi hai Suman ko... Aur aap pooch rahein hain kaisi ho? Hmph! Kuch bhi, ainvayi"
Have I ever mentioned that I adore her saying that? She looks so cute! But for the word Bhaisahab, we're perfect!
She went near her and caressed her hair. Shravan smiled at seeing all that.
"Shravan beta, ab tumhe chalna chahiye. Bohot kaam hai aur phir Pushkar bhi toh Akela hai. Cases bhi pending hai"
My feeble attempt to separate the two.
"Nahi Papa! Aaj nahi", he asserted. "Suman ko chodkar nahi jaoonga"
At first, I couldn't believe! Was THIS the Shravan who hated her a day ago? Who told her to get lost? I had heard Love was strong, but today had seen it. Now look at me and Kamini, though*leave it*
"Shravan!", I asserted.
"Papa! Aaj main kuch nahi sununga! Aap please... please jaayiye yahan se", he said calmly.
What!? Did he just tell me to LEAVE? How dare he?! *Sniffs in anger*
I , no, we left the room, leaving them to themselves. Still, I stood by the door, thinking deeply. Shravan never dared to refuse me, till now. Once he did, for not going to London and the second time was this. I couldn't help but realising that both the times it was due to Suman.
"Bhaisaaab, aap aise chale Kyun aaye? Rokiye Shravan puttarji ko, nahi toh..."
" Kamini tumhe kya lagta hai hum jo kar rahe hain wo thik hai?? I mean Shravan aur Suman ko alag karne ki koshish ??" I asked her, eyes still focussed on my son. He was holding her hands worry and fear of losing her visible on his face.
I am not that heartless as you guys think. Its just that I love my son. He is the only one I have truly loved.*ahem ahem* I have tried everything but destiny seems to bring them back together. So whom am I to change their fates.. I had begun to lose my son in this stupid race of ego. I realised love lies beyond things like these. I certainly don't want to lose him! I give up...Yes I Ramnath Malhotra accept that I have lost this battle of ego vs love.
Love knows no reason, no boundaries, no distance
It has sole intention of bringing people together to a time called FOREVER. And try as you may, you can't win against the Ringmaster above.
