Looking forward for the moment when Ballu will meet Veera...Silence will be the key but hearts will speak out

Part-6

That evening Veera returned to her PG around 7 p.m. Since her students were having their terminal exams she didn't had tuitions for a few days. She was going through the files the Doctor gave her. One of the cases resembled her story a lot. The couple had separated due to a misunderstanding, but when after 3 months they met each other both realized their mistakes and reunited.

That night Gunjan's room

B: Gunjan...mainey zaroor kabhi kisi janm main koyee accha kamm kiye honge...jo rab ne mainu tere jaisi behen diya...aaj teri wajag se ek rasta toh nazar aya...

G: Veerji, yeh saab rabji ka hi khel hain...nahi to boliye na 6 mahine ke baad aap apne business join kiye, khood ek consignment leke Delhi gaye, aur aapki mulakat...Shivani se ho gayee...

B: Mahine ka pehla Raviwar...matlab agla raviwar(the Sunday after coming Sunday)...main zaroor Delhi jaunga...bal ki main to Saaniwar raat ko he nikal jaunga...

G: Veerji...aap se ek baat poonchoo...such such jawab doge...Baldev noded...jab aap ajbhi bhi Veera se itna pyaar karte ho...tab use talak kiun diya?

Suddenly his expressions changed...as if a beast has wake up inside him...he controlled himself

B: Gunjan...is haal main, tere liye nahi koye mansik tanaw aach hain, nahi der tak jagna...tu so ja...main chalta hoon.

G: Veerji, yeh sawal mainu ander hi ander khaye ga rahi hain...please Veerji...agar aap saach main ehi chahte ho, ke mainu koyee mansik tanab na ho to please batdo...aap ko mere is bacche ki kasam...

B: Gunjaaan...pagal ho gaye hain tu...is nanhi si jaan ko kun beech main la rahi hain...

G: Veerji main janti hoon yeh who baat hain jo na aap ne nahi Veera ne kabhi kisi se kahi hogi...please Veerji...baas ek bar keh do...woh bojh jo aap ke dil main hain...woh dard go aap ne akele jhela hain...nikal do Veerji...baat lo apne is bahen ke sath...

Baldev sat on the bed...droplets of tears kept escaping his eyes, his voice became husky...

B: " Hum log beha karke ghar pauche to, maine dekha Veera kaafi udaas thi, mainu laga itna sabar karne ke baad bhi hummeh chupke saadi karni paari, sayad is baat ko leke who paresaan hogi...lekin usne kaha mere Veerji kabhi galat nahi ho sakte, unhe yehkeen hain ke tune Nihal chachu ka khoo kiya hain... ek pal main meri duniya ujar gayee...mainey use pooncha toh phir tune mujh se saadi kiun ki...toh usne kaha teri jaan bachane waste, agar Veerji tere khilaaf gawahi de dete to tu jail chala jata...aur yeh main bardast nahi kar pati...mere pairoon tale se zamin hath gayee...mainey socha tha chahe saari duniya mainu qatil samze, meri Veera ko mugh par yakeen hain...lekin usne toh much par taras kha kar mujhse saadi kiya, mujh peh ehsaan kiya..."

G: "Jis tarah se Ranvee bar bar keh ta raha usne aap ko Nihal chachu ka khoon karte dekha hain...sab log behek gaye they Veerji...maineh humesa aap ko begunah mana hai, kayee bari Ranvee say meri larai bhi huwee, lekin mere paas koyee sabot nahi thi ...aur adalat to sabot hi manti hain na...main aap ki koyee madat nahi kar payee Veerji...us ghar main humesha yehi hota hain jo Ranvee kehta hain, jo who chahta hain sab wohi maan lete hain, Beeji aur Chaiji ki khamosi, humesha use is baat ke lie barhawa diya hain ke jo who kehta hain, jo who karta hain saab sahi hain...na usme doosre ki baat sunne ki sbar hain nahi samajh neh ki takat...lekin Veerji, agar Veera neh aapse aisa kaha tha, phir bhi usi ne apne aap ko khatre main daal kar aap ko begunah bhi to saabit kiya...phir kiun talak huwa aap dono ka?"

B: "Sayad wohi meri sab se bari galti thi...Veera neh mujh se maafi bhi mangi thi...lekin mujhe ehi lagta raha ke who kabhi muj par poori tarah se bharosa nahi kar payegi...aur phir Rajveer ke pakre jane ke baad jitni asani se who Ranve aur uske pariwar se sulah kar li...mujhe laga ke uske lie uska Veer aur uske pariwar se upar kuch bhi nahi...toh phir main kon hoon...keya jagah hain meri apne boti ke zindagi main...aur mainey use talak manga...hum dono main deal huwi thi...ek mahine ke ander who yeh sabit karegi ke uske liye main bhi utna hi ehem hoon jitna ke uska Veer...kayee baari kousis kiya..sab khooch bhoola kar, ek nayee zindagi ki suruaat karoon...lekin jab kabhi uspe bharosa kar na chaha...kuch aisa huwa ke hum dono aur door chaley gaye...phir jab ek mahina khatm huwa toh Veera neh...Divorce paper peh sign kar diya...aur chali gayee..."

G: "aap ne use roka kiun nahi Veerji..."

B: "sayad us waqt mujh mar koyee kala saya char gaya tha...mujhe raat ko bure sapne aate they...kis tarah mainu jail main peeta gaya tha, bijli ke sock diye gaye they...Veera mainu Doctor ke paas leke jaana chahti thi...aur is baat ko leke hum humesha larte they...lekin usi raat mainey use har jagah doonda Gunjan...Poly house, machaan, Chaupaal, Mandir...mujhe yekin that utne raat ko who aapne ghar nahi gayee hogi...lekin who kahi nahi mili"

G : " Koyee nahi Veerji, galtiyaan sab se hoti hain...tahi to rabji neh humeh yeh ek aur muake diya hain...raat kaafi ho chuki hain Veerji...aap jaake so jao...

B: "haan...tub hi so ja..."

Part-7

Next Sunday.

[ Ratan and other members of the Panchayet were gathered in the front yard of the Panchayet Bhawan, being the elderly people of the village, Balwant and another 3-4 people were also there. They were having a meeting... Ratan being the Sarpaanch of the Pind was presiding over the meeting. Nobody noticed a Muslim woman wearing a Burkha was watching every thing closely]

R: Saab se pehle main aap se maafi mangti hoon ke aaj Raviwar ka din maine aap sab ko is sabha ke liye bulaya...aur aap sab ka dhnyabad karti hoon is sabha main aane ke liye. Lekin baat bohot hi ghambhir hain...every one was looking at each other's face...pichle saal Pooly house ke hone ke wajah se humare pind ke sabhi kishanon neh nagdi fasaloon ka kheti kiye they aur hum neh kaafi saare munafe bhi kamaye they. Lekin...[her voice became just a bit husky] Nihal Singhji ke chale jaane ke baad humare pind main koye eisa nahi raha jise Poolyhouse, yah nagadi fasaloon ki sahi jaan kari ho...upar se Pooly House se chaad ka ek hissa barbad ho chuka hain...

V: [ In her mind] Beeji...rab ka sukr hain beeji bilkool thik hain...unhoneh apni zimmedariyon se piche nahi hata...

R: Aisey sthiti main...humare paas do raste bachte hain...yah toh hummeh Pooly House band kar dena parega...yah phir hummeh saher se jankar logo ko bulakar Pooly house ke chaad ke marammat karwani paregi...main is bare main aap sab ki rai janna chahti hoon...

V: [in her mind] Poly House ke chaad tool gaye...beeji nahi...please Poly house ko band maat karo.

One of the Panchayet member said.." meri rai main humeh saher se jaankaar logo ko bula kar Pooly House ki marrammat karani chahiye...kiun bhaio..." all other members agreed to his suggestion and the meeting was dissolved...Ratan passing infront of Veera, she stopped in front of her and looked for a while.

R: Maaf kijiye ga, keya aap kisi ko dhoond rahi hain...

V: [getting extremely nervous] Nahi...toh

R: Kaun...Veera...few tears escaped her eyes as she tried to touch her...Veera immediately stepped back...

V: Yah allah...mohotarma...aap thik to hain na...

R: Maaf karna behenji...aap ki awaz...bilkul meri beti ke jaisy hain...

V: [trying to deepen her voice] kaha hain aap ki beti...

R: pata nahi...pichle 6 mahine se la pata hain...

V: Inse-allah...khooda par bharosa rakhiye mohtarma...agar allah ki marzi huwi to aap ko aap ki beti zaroor milegi

R: Aaab toh rabji ka hi bharosa hain...na jaane kaha hogi, kaisy hogi meri beti...

V: Honsla rakhiye mohtarma...khuda ke meherbani se saab thik ho gayega...[she could hardly control her tears]...aacha hum chalte hain...apna dhyan rakhyeega...khuda hafis.

R: Ji...sastiya-kaal.

Ratan left ...Veera turned around and triers started to pour down her chicks. She remembered what every body was saying about the Poly House, the last memory of her Nihal Chachu, the symbol of her and Baldev's love she decided to visit the poly house. When she reached there she could see Balwant standing there...

B: Samajh main nahi aata is pind ke wasi hone ke waste is Poly House ka sukriya ada karoon...yah ek baap hone ke naate isse nafrat karoon...Veera approached her...

V: Adab Janab...[She had already modulated her voice]

B : Ji sastiya-kaal...keya main aap ki koyee madat kar sakta hoon

V: Ji mera naam Ruksana hain, bagalwale pind main apne khala ghar ghoomne aye hoon, sab ne kaha ke preetampura main koye Poly house hain jo dekne layak hain...keya main ander jake dekh sakti hoon..

B: Ji zaroor jaiyeh...

Veera went inside the Ploy house almost every thing was in a disarray...it was evident no body takes proper care...she entered the Poly house office...memories of the moment she spent with Baldev kept coming back to her mind...she started crying...loudly...after a while she contolled herself when she noticed a small plant there...she remembered she and Baldev together planted it when Ranvee finally gave his approval of their marriage...out of all the mess that plant looked absolutely fine...She took that plant with her...when she came out...she found Balwant still standing there with teary eyes...

V: aap ka bohot bohot sukriya...keya main is paudhey ko le ja sakti hoon...

B: Ji zaroor le jayeh...

V: Ji agar aap izazat dein to ek baat poonchoo...aap kafi der se inha khare hain aur royee jarahe hain..

B: ek bebas baap rone ke siwa aur kar bhi keya sakta hain...Yeh Pooly House mere bte aur bahu ke pyaar ki sabse bari nisani thi...6 mahino se meri bahu ka kuch pata nahi...mera beta Baldev toh jaise ek Zinda Laas ban kar reh gaya...Pal Pal khood ko saza diye jata hain. Na jaane kis ki nazar lag gayee thi mere bachoo ki khoosiyon ko...the broke down in tears...Veera hold his shoulders...

V: Aap mere aaboo ke umar ke hain...mere abboo kehte hain dhookh de kar khuda insane ko parkh te hain...honsla rakhiye...allah sab thik kar denge.

B: Aab to baas rab ka bahrosa hain...din raat ehi dua karta hoon ke baas ek baari meri bahoo mil jaye...hum sab ki zindagi phir se khil uthegi...

V: Ji maaf kijiyega... aap ka ghar kitne door hain...chaliye main aap ko ghar paucha doon, fir main bhi nikal jaungi...

Balwant agreed, he and Veera were walking side by side when Gunjan noticed them she was scared looking at Veera in burkha and along side her father. She always had a wrong notion that women in black burkha's know some black magic (please friend, I intend no offence, am writing this only for the sake of the story, I do respect every religion)...she approached them quickly...Balwant noticed her...

B: Gujan ...dhire puttar...

G: Papaji...kithhey gaye they aap...aur yeh koun hain...aur aap ke sath keya kar rahi hain...

B: Thand pa puttar...yeh Ruksana hain...bagalwale pind se humare pind main Pooly house dekhne ayi thi...

Veera could notice Gunjan was pregnant...she was overjoyed, some how she controlled her emotions...

G: Thik hai...thik hai...papaji aap mere naal chalo...she literally pulled Balwant and went away...

V: Gunjan Bhabi maa banne wali hain...matlab mere Veerji Papaji banenge aur main buwa...he rabji aap ka lakh lakh sukr hain...some villegers were noticing her, she quickly moved away from there...

Beeji, Gujanj bhabi, Balwant tauji...sab koye dikh jayee...baas ek bar Baldev aur Veerji dikh jaye...rabji bas ek bar ke liye...

She thought...ek baar Baldev ke company ka office ke paas jake dekh ti hoon...sayad who wahan ho...when she reached there she could see Jaggi and Billa, but not Baldev...

J: oye Billa...dimag ka dahi ho gaya reh...kitna hisaab rakhoon aur kitna likhoon yaar...

B: Saaach main yaar...pata nahi Balwant tauji itna hisaab kaise rakhte hain...7 truck aur 9 tempo...baap re baap...

V: [In her mind] Rabji ka sukr hain Baldev neh apna karowar band nahi kiya...aur uska karowar itna bara ho gaya.

J: yaad hain Billa...kaise Baldevpraji kea age hath pair jore they...ke praji karowar band maat karo...

B: oye samjha kar yaar...Baldevpraji neh yeh karowar kiun suru ki thi...taaki who Ranvee aur pure pind kea age yeh saabit kar sake who bhi zimmeder hain...aur Veera parjaiji ke layak bhi...jab parjaiji hi nahi rahi to...

J: Saach main yaar...najane kis ki nazar lag gayee unki khoosiwon ko...meri samj main aaj tak yeh nahi aye jab parjaiji ne khood ko khatre main dal kar praji ko bejunaah sabit kar diya tha toh wonho neh talak kiun li.

B: Aab miya-biwi ke beech ki baat koun jan sakta hain yaar...lekin main daabe ke sath keh sakta hoon..isme zaroor Bansuri taiji ka hath hoga...woh kabhi nahi chahti thi ke Baldevpraji aur Veera parjaiji ek sath khoos rahe...

J : sau takka saach kaha tune...rab kisi ko aisy ma na de...lekin tune..ek baat ka dhyaan diya...aaj kaal praji kaise bechain se rehte hain...maine unhe aise bechain tab dekh tha jab parjaiji unse Pooly House main milne aanewali hoti thi aur unhe baas do minute der ho jati thi...

B: Haan yaar...praji to aise bechain hote jaise unki jaan nikal rahi ho...aur saach main Veera parjaiji main he unki jaan basti thi...kaas raab kare kahi se unka pata chal jaye aur dono phir se ek ho jayee.

J: Ehi dua to main bhi har pal mangta hoon Billa...agar Baldev praji ko kuch phirse zinda kar sakte hain..toh who parjaiji ka pyaar...aur kuch nahi...

V: [in her mind] Jaggi neh yeh kiun kaha ke phirse zinda kar sakte hain...toh keya...she approached them..."adab" Jaggi and Billa was shocked to she a woman in burkha there...

J : Ji kahiye...

V: Aap dono main se Baldev Singh kaun hain...

J: Ji koye nahi...hum unke dost hain...keya kaam tha...

V: Ji mere sohar so such saman Delhi bhejna tha...woh Baldevji se milna chahte they...kab milenge who..

B: Ji kehna zara muskil hain...woh zayada nahi aate...lekin baat agar saman bhejne ki hain toh aap apne pati se kehyega ke who hum se bhi mil sakte hain...Baldevpraji neh hummeh zimmedari di hain...

V: kiun...wok khood bimaar hain keya...

J: Who bahenji...aap ko ki matlab...

B: oye Jaggi ruk yaar...dekhiye Baldevpraji bimaar nahi hain...baas doosre kamoon main beejeee rahte hain is liye hum inha ka dekhbhal karte hain...thik hain...apne pati se kehiyega ke job hi samamn bhiwana hoga hum pure zimmedarike saath paucha denge...

V: Ji...adab...[in her mind] Thank God Baldev bimaar nahi hain...paar tu hain kaha Baldev...ek baari...bass ek baari samne aaja...bas ek baar dekhna chahti hoon tujhe...she slowly walked off from there...

It was almost passed mid-day. She was feeling hungry, she decided to go to Dalveer's dhaba to have some food...when she reached there she could notice Ranvee sitting on a charpai and Dalveer consoling him...she took a position from where they can not see her but she could hear them...

D: Sambahl apne aap ko Ranvee...

R: Dalveereh...mainu samajh main nahi ata kaya kami reh gayi thi mere pyaar aur parwarish main...jo Veera mere khilaaf ja kar us haiwaan se beha kar liya...

D: Sambhal apne ap ko Ranvee...aur is tarah Baldev ko dosh maat de...usne bhi toh itna kuch saha hain...

R: Mainu kuch nai pata Dalveereh...main sirf itna janta hoon ke usne sirf meri behen ko rulaya hain...use dookh diya hain...poora pind janta hai kitna zulm karta tha who meri Veera ke saath...phir bhi who sab kuch sehti rahi...haywaan hain who...

V: [in her mind]Nahi Veerji...galti aap ke veera ki thi...aur sayad aap ka soch galat tha...aap ke nafrat ne kabhi aap ko uski aachyee ko dekne hi nahi diya...aaj bhi aap use itna nafrat karte hain...issi nafrat ka faida uthaya tha Rajveer ne...kash ek bar aap bina kisi nafrat ke Baldev ko dekh paate...

R: Dalveereh...Veera neh bhi mainu maaf nahi kiya...agar usne talak de bhi diya tha...toh ek baari keya apne Veerji ke paas nahi aa sakti thi...

V: [in her mind] konsa muh lekar aati Veerji...keya kehti aap sab se...ke aap sab sahi they...mera pyaar haar gaya, nahi Veerji...maine uspar bharosa nahi kiya...iski saza to mainu milni hi thi...She felt she could cry out any time...so she left...

She was walking towards the bus stand..."rabji ...maine sab ko dekh liya...sab chahte hain main wapas aajaoo...lekin Baldev...kaha hain who...rabji...baas ek baar ...ek baar mila do use...sirf ek baar mainu uski sakal dikha do"...She didn't notice a jeep was coming from the other side...the jeep stopped just a few feet away from her...she had closed her eyes, as she felt she would have crash to that jeep...she woke up with the horn of that Jeep.

B: Who behenji...kis duniya main ho aap...abhi accident ho gata...he came down from the jeep...Veera got lost hearing that voice...she knew who it was...she didn't utter a single word, but her eyes became moist...she has been striving and praying to god to see this face, now it was infront of her...Wearing a white Jacket over a white kurta...she lost the strength of her body as she knelt to the ground...

B: Bahenji...aap daro maat...kuch nahi huwa aap ko...koyee chot nahi aayee...aap bilkul thik ho...he ran upto her and then knelt to the ground and hold her shoulders...the moment he looks into her eyes..he became still like a statue...both of them felt like a current flowing through their bodies...but at the same time they felt as if a ghust of cool fresh air was feeling their heart...they felt like after a long time both of them have found solace...few tears escaped Baldev's eyes...

A biker blew a horn and then slowly passed by after dodgging them...they both stood up...

B: aap...aap...aap daro maat kooch nahi huwa aap ko...he calmed down a little...Veera also got her breath back...waise kaha jana hain aap ko...main chor deta hoon...aiyeeh ...

Veera didn't knew what to do...she rode the jeep like a spellbound zombie...baldev started the jeep on the way he asked where will he drop him to which she replied bus stand...for a moment Baldev lost control of the jeep, but recovered soon ...he stopped the jeep...Veera got very nervous and asked...

V: "rook kiun gaye aap...?"

B: "keya kaha aap ne?"

V: "aap rook kiun gaye"

Baldev looked at her eyes passionately and then put his head on the steering...

V: "aap thik to hain na?"

B: " Ji...maaf karna behenji...aap ki awaz bilkool meri boti...matlab mere patni jaisi hain...Veera shifted a bit far from him...ghabraiyeh maat...main aap ko bus stand pe chor deta hoon" he started the jeep again...

V: ek baat ponchoo...apne patni ki awaz toh aap roz sunte honge...phir bhi...

B: kaas aisa hota...

V: matlab...

B: aap ka bus stop aa jaya...jaha bhi jana ho sambhal kar jaiyega...

Veera got down from the Jeep...and Baldev drove away.

Waiting for the next chapter..
