'Aaj tum yahan se aise ja rahi ho virat lekin main yakeen ke saath keh sakti hoon ek din tum yahan wapas aoge apne pariwaar ke paas pure izzat aur kamyabi ke saat khud dadaji tumhe bulaoge yaha par pyaar se"
Yahi baat baar baar mere mann main kyun arahi hai??Manvi asked herself.
Kyun aarahi hai wo ab??wapas 5 saal baad kyun??Agar usne mujhe poocha ki maine wo baat kyun kahi thi tho main kya kahoongi usse? She thought again as she stood out side the building and continued to watch the white cloud around her nd a lone tear escaped her eye'
*****
Manvi has asked the same question again nd again to her during all the sleepless nights in Chandigraah nd Hrishikesh.
****
As usual Manvi was engrossed in her thoughts that she dint notice her phone ringing and stopping a no.of times nd then again her phone rang this time waking her from her reverie..
Hello..Manvi asked without looking at the caller ID
Mannu tum teekh tho haina?phone kyun nahi udarahi thi??pata hai main kitna gabra gayi thi?Tum kuch bolte kyun nahi ho??asked a concerned Jeevika whose voice was as if she was in tears!
Arree baba main bilkul teekh hoon'wo tho main.. so gayi thi isliyeee'she lied to her sister evn though she hated doing it bt what else can she say 'Di actually main aapke ghar se chale hue Devar ke bare main soch kar pata nahi kyun ro rahi thi..aur usski phone ki intzaaar kar rahi thi bagwaan hi jaane kyun'she humoured herself with this thought nd again some more tears escaped her eyes..
Mannu tu line pe haina??Jeevika asked
Haan di..bolo aap itna pareshaan kyun lag rahi hai??Sab kuch teekh haina??Manvi asked evn though she knows the answer that Vadhera pariwar main kuch bhi teekh nahi hai..aur agar uski guess sahi nikle tho ek aur jagda hua hoga Virenjiju aur Dadaji ke beech jo ajj kal bahut hote hai!!
Nahi Mannu wo ..jeevika cried
Di aap pls matt royiye pls'main keh rahi hoona sab teekh hojayega!!'She lied again as it hurted her to see her di in tears..
Mannu main ye kehne keliye phone kiya tha ki main wahan rehne aarahi hoon kuch dinon keliye'wo virenji kahin'.kaam se jaarahi hai aur wo keh rhi thi ki iss halat main mujhe'.Her voice trailed off as if in pain'
Di aap kya ..mujhe explanation de rahi hai'ye aapeeka ghar hai aap jab chaahe asakthi hai..bass ab aap jaldi aao mere pass ..wapas ,tab tak jeeju bhi apne'..kaaam kardenge'!!!Manvi said with fake cheerfulness for her Di's sake who is 3months pregnant..a part of her was angry with Viren jiju for leaving her sister at this time when she needs him the most bt the other part wanted jiju to go out nd do his Work which she know is to search for his little brother..
Time passed bt the thoughts nd memories dint Virat?Wo kaha hoga?kya kar rahi hoga?Teek tho hoga na?wo ladki mil gayi hoga kya ussse?Ussne usse maaf bhi kar diya hoga?Kya wo mujhe bool gaye honge?Aaj kya wo mujhe phone Karegi?These were like her regular thoughts that always haunted her Day nd night'
Lekin har baar yahi hota tha aur wo poochti thi apne apse main aise kyun soch rahi wo bhi uske bare main?Har baar jiju kaali haat laut te dekhar mujhe itna dard kyun hota hai??
Aur mujhe mera jawab milgaya par bahut hi galat samay par..
'Manvi im sorry to say this uhh par aap apne chachu aur Bg kyun nahi le aate''asked Manan again.nd it was getting on Manvi's nerves nw..
'Aap ko jo bhi kehna hai mujhse kehiya..ap jaanti haina Jeevika di ghar par hai aur unke condition'..Manvi asked as she was loosing her patience'
'Haan Main jaanti hoon'Lekin'''!'!Manan trailed
'Lekin kya?'Manvi asked
Dr Manan took a deep breath and held my hand and said"Manvi dekho aise cases bahut aati hai aur iska ilaaj bhi hai"Manvi sat there silently though her heart was beating so fast as if it wanted to come out of her body nd let him continue what he ws saying"aapko cancer hai aur wo second stage par hai nd ...as an after thought he added 'it can be cured"he said looking everywhere but at her'Manvi ne kuch nahi kaha ya phir kuch kehne keliye nahi tha she jus tightened her grip in Manan's hand nd sat there a thousands of thoughts going through her mind abt her di,jiju,hone waale bache,BG,Badi B,Dabbbu ,Chachu, Chachi nd Virattt'.
Virat kya main usse dekh paoongi ya phir main usse dekhe bina hi marjaogi?
Kya main kabhi Di ke bache nahi dekh payengi?
Kya main Dabbu ki shadi nahi attend karengi?
Kya main Virat se kabhi keh nahi payenge ki main uss se Kitna Pyarrr'
'PYAAR''Pyaar yahi tho hai ' She dint know what to do whether to cry or laugh at this situation that she was in love with him bt will never be able confess it or will never be able to see him And then it hitted her that the thought that 'She might die without seeing Virat again pained her more than the thought that She may die 'nd she started crying uncontrollably hugging Dr Manan nd started mumbling things to herself nd Dr Manan let her do it'
Main pyaar karti hoon Virat se and she smiled through her tears..
Manvi was bought back to the present by a small hand who was pulling her Shawl nd Mannu looked down and Smiled trying to hide her tears..
Mamma app kyu cry kar rahi hai'asked Ayush my angel, my lil boy..in his cute baby voice..turning arround Mannu saw her Sasumom who is more than a mom to Mannu smiling at her grand child nd looking at Mannu with concern bt Manvi smiled a real smile nd hugged Ayush nd winked at her mom!
