Hey there EHTians! Let me first introduce myself...I am Nabi...Kinda new to this forum.
I am here with an ittuuu sa OS about the occurings of 8th July's episode. There were definitely moments of Wow! In there. So I decided to write this piece from Durga's point of view. It's not exactly romantic...I guess it's more of Durga's inner turmoil seeing Dev like that in the epi.
Hope y'all will like it.
DevGa OS: Jazbaat nayee se mile hai
"Mein tumhe sab kuch bataonga Durga bas Jaldi gaadi chalao, Please!" Dev exclaimed for the millionth time since we had left the hospital. We had left in a hurry because he had forgotten something of his at some place. This anxious behaviour of his made me even more curious to know what exactly is it that he had forgotten?
Ever since Dev had arrived back in Kolkata things had changed tremendously. Seeing him after years at that moment I almost had forgotten that he had abandoned me. After years of pain and agony, of loss and guilt, I saw his familiar face and for the first time in those years I felt a kind of peace envelop my heart. But it was short lived as all the painful memories came gushing back inside my mind. Payal's tear soaked face, Ma and Baba's defeated face, Dev's reply to my e-mail.
He was a responsible for the crime committed as the Goenka family. All the memorable moments we had spent together had washed away with the death of Nitiya. All that remained was a burning fire inside the heart of revenge and justice. There was no Nitiya anymore. There was only Durga Thakur who was reborn to avenge injustice that had been done with her, Payal, and her family. This was the sole purpose of her rebirth.
"Yahan se right le lo," Dev said in a hurry and that snapped me out of the trance. I did as he told and we came upon the location where his accident had taken place. I abruptly stopped the car infront of the crime scene where the investigation was taking place and the forensics were scanning the place for clues and evidence.
Before I could ask Dev why he had brought us here he was already headed towards the scene. I quickly got out of the car and caught up with Dev who was trying to explain himself to the officer on duty.
"Dekhiye mera wahan jana zaroori hai. Please officer! Aaap samajh kyun nahi rahe hai." I heard Dev trying to convince the officer to let him on the crime scene. It was really starting to bother me now. What was it that he desperately needed at this moment?
Dev bustled about in the area trying to search for whatever he needed. And I followed him asking him the same thing over and over again, "Dev akhir tum dhoondh kya rahe ho?"
"How could I have lost it? And why didn't I notice before? Where could it be...?" But looked like my words were falling on deaf ears. He kept talking to himself as if he had lost something as valuable as a diamond.
I kept trying to ask him but in vain. That's when my gaze fell on the car Dev was driving the previous night. I inhaled sharply, gasping at the cruel site. It was in a horrible condition. There were scratches at some places and the whole backside of the car had been crushed brutally. The glass at the back was also broken. A shiver ran down my spine as I imagined Dev driving the car last night. He could have been Killed! The realization hit me hard and I managed to look towards him.
The fear of losing him gripped my mind. When Akash had called me up last night and told me that Dev was in an accident. It was like someone had sucked the last trace of life out of me. It had left baffled and restless until Akash had called up again and informed me that he was fine. I had spent a sleepless night pondering over why Dev was headed towards that particular direction. Payal being near the same location and him turning at the same road wasn't just coincidental. There was an unsaid fear inside me of losing Payal again. No...I wouldn't let it happen again! Never...!
But seeing the car's condition it did not just look like a accident. In fact from what I saw it seemed like someone had intentionally smashed the truck into Dev's car considering it's condition. But why would anyone do that? Why would anyone try to kill Dev? There were a thousand questions enveloping my mind right now. I looked towards Dev and found him staring at a particular place. It looked like he had found what he was looking for.
It were the remains of a cut down tree. And in between lay a shiny object. Dev crouched down towards the object and picked it up with a smile. As he turned around my eyes widened in shock.
It was the lucky charm locket I had given him before he had left for America. I had told him to keep it with him at all times as it would protect him and bring luck on him. And it would remind me of him. He had still kept it.
Dev is locket ko apni jaan se zayada manta hai? I thought to myself. It made me doubt him all over again. Ek taraf wo apne bhai ka sath dete hai and doosri taraf Nitiya ko apni jaan se bhi zayada manta hai. What was I supposed to believe? That which the past had shown or that at present was happening?
What are you Dev? I questioned myself. But there was no answer. He was still smiling with his gazed fixed on the locket. A lone tear escaped my eyes as I looked at him.
How was it? Good? Bad?
