Veera's room

She had kept that litte plant on the table and was looking at it...

V: "Sayad log saach kehte hain...pyaar kabhi nahi marta...is pudehy ko mainey aur Baldev ne ek saath lagaya tha...humamare zindegi main itna kuch ho gaya, hum alag ho gaye...lekin Beldev ke liye mera pyaar nahi mara...aur yeh pudha bhi ...she moved out to the balcony and looked to the sky and kept recalling what had happened through out the day...Balwant taugi ne kaha ke Baldev ek zinda laash baan chukka hain...har pal khood ko saaza deta hain...kiun...keya who khood ko dosti manta hain jo huwa uske liye...Jaggi aur Billa dua karte hain ke main wapas ajaoon...toh keya Baldev bhi yehi chahta hain...aur Baldev ne kaha..meri awaz uske patni ke jaisy hain...to keya who aaj bhi mujhe aapne patni manta hain...aaj bhi mujhse pyaar karta hain...kiun uske choone se aaj bhi mainu itna sokoon mila...jaise main phir se jee uthi hoon...

Baldev's room

He was standing in the balcony...he can't remember when was the last time he stood in that balcony. He looked up to the sky...

B: "kon thi who...sirf uski awaz Veera ke jaisy thi...lekin kiun use choone se mainu itna sakoon mila..aisa kiun laga jaise mainu meri saase wapas mil gaye...who ankhey...kiun un ankhon main ansoo they? Kiun un ankhoon main dekhne se mere ankhoon main bhi ansoo aa gaye...kiun aisa laga who ankhee mainu hi dhoond rahi thi...kiun aisa laga ke un ankhoon main mere liye pyaar aur dard dono hi hain...kaha hain tu Veera...ek baar...baas ek bar samne aja...he allowed himself a sarcastic smile...keya pata main tuhje yaad bhi hoon ya nahi...Shivani ne toh kabhi tujh se sahi se mila bhi nahi...keya pata tu sayad aapne guzre huwe kaal ko piche chor kea age baar chuki hogi...mere liye na sahi...aapne Veerji ke liye hi ek baar wapas aaja...baas ek akhri baar tujhe apne in ankhoon se dekh loon...waise bhi tere bina ek Zinda laas ban chukka hoon...bas ek bari dekh loon tuhje phir maut bhi aajaye to bhi koyee ghum nahi...yaad hain tenu..tu har baat peh rabji ko yaad karti thi aur main hasa karta tha...aaj main tere us rabji se dua mangta hoon baas ek baar tuz se mila de...

Baldev left for Delhi the next Saturday night. From early morning, the next day...he was waiting in the mall...around 4 p.m. he noticed Veera entering the mall. He kept following her from a distance. She indeed came there to take the grossery for the entire month. She kept collecting whatever she needed and Baldev kept a close eye on her from a distance. When she was finally done, she was leaving when she heard a familier voice...

B: "kuch madat kar doon teri..."

She stopped...the bags fell from her hand and sub consciously she uttered..Baldeeev...she then turned around and saw him standing there. She ran upto him and hugged him tightly and Baldev hugged her back...after a while...

B: Ab kiun gale par rahi hain...chalija mainu chor kar...Phir chahe main jeeteji mar kiun na jaoon ...tenu ki fark parta hain...

V: Tu hi to mere pyaar nu parakh na chahta tha na. Tenu hi talak chahiye thi...she tired to break the hug, baldev tightened his grip...

B: jaise ke tenu pata nahi...kitna bara khoteeya hoon main...baas ek bari pichey moorkar to dekhi hoti...kaise tera Baldev ghutne tek kar zamin pe betha huwa tha ...

V: Tu bhi toh mainu rok sakta tha...baas ek baari gale laga leta mainu...us ek pal main, main apni pooree zindagi jee leti...Jab pal pal tere saath reh kar bhi tere nafrat ko meeta na saaki tab piche moor kar aur keya dekhti...kiun sab kooch aise khatam hogaya Baldev...

B: Kuch khatam nahi huwa...

V: Ab toh sayad court ka final verdict bhi aa chuki hogi...

They broke the hug...Baldev took out pieces of a torned stamp paper and gave it to Veera...

B: "Iski baat kar rahi hain na tu"...she was surprised ...

V: yeh...

B: tu sayad ghar se nikli bhi nahi thi...maine ise phar diya...tere jaane ke kuch hi der baad tujhe dhoond ne nilka tha main...Poly House, Machaan, Mandir, Chaupal har jagah dhoonda tujhe...par tu kahi nahi mili...utni raat ko tu kaha gayee thi...

V: Puraane godown pe baithy rahi...ehi sochti rahi ab mainu keya karna chahiye..Veerji ke paas wapas nahi ja sakti thi...sab ko ehi lagta who log sahi they aur humara pyaar jhuta...kaafi soch ne ke baad maine tai kiya ke main Delhi chali jati hoon... sab se door ...wahan koyi job dhoond loongi...

V: Mainu pata tha sab log mujhe dhoondenge...is liye maine...apne mobile ka SIM card nikal ke fake diya...mere college ke ek Ma'am se mili...unhone mujhe ek school peh bheja jaha English ke teacher ki zarurat thi...mera selection ho gaya...aur main eyhaan Delhi meh rahne laagi...

B: main to jeena hi chor diya tha...aapna karowar bhi band karne wala tha..lekin Papaji aur Jagii-billa neh kaha who log sab sambhal lengey...dheere dheere Gunjan aur papaji ne mainu samjahya khood ko saza dene se tu wapas nahi aa jayegi...agar tujhe wapas pana hain toh hummeh tujhe dhoond na hoga... lekin smaj main nahi aa raha tha tujhe dhoondo bhi toh kaha dhoondo...

V: Mere school ke student neh mujhe sambha liya ...un bachoo ke saath din to kat jaati thi...lekin ek bhi raat nahi gaye jab maine tujhe yaad kar ke roya na ho...woh pal jo humneh sath juzare they..unki yad satati rahi...kit ne raat mainey apne PG ke balcony main beth kar bitaya hain...ek ajeeb sa dard mainu sone bhi nahi deti thi...dil to chahta tha tere paas wapas gaunoo lekin kis haq se jati...humara rista toot chukka tha...

B: Humara rista na kabhi toota aur nahi kabhi tootega...main tujhe lene aya hoon Veera...

V: lene aya hoon matlab...tujhe pata tha main eeha miloongi...

B: Haan pata tha...

B: Kabhi foor sat main bataunga...ab wapas chal...ab aur raha nahi jata...aur sab koye tarap raha hain sirf ek bar tujhe dekhne ke liye...

V: abhi main kaise wapas ja sakti hoon...mere school main ek mahine ka notice dena parega resign karne se pehle...phir jin bachoo ko main tution deti hoon unke liye bhi koye aur tutor ka intezaam karna hoga...

B: main kuch nahi janta...tu abhi mere saath wapas chalegi...

B: Pata nahi yeh intehaan kab khatam hoga...tu 1-2 din ka chutti to le sakti hain na...tere school main baat kar...1-2 din ke liye chal phir main khood tujhe leke aunga...

Veera called the principal of her school. Mrs Ahuja gladly sanctioned her leave for 1 week.She also informed the Manager of her PG,that she is going out of station for a week. Baldev called Gunjan and asked her to inform Balwant about Veera returning with him.

Part-9

Baldev and Veera returned to Preetampura. All the way Veera kept her head resting on Baldev's shoulder and hold his arm. Baldev drove his jeep slower than usual. On the way the stopped in dhaba and had food. They both fed each other and thanked God for bringing back happiness to their lives. Baldev stopped the jeep near the machaan. Veera was surprised and also happy, she felt Baldev wanted to relive those wonderful moments they spend their together. She got down from the jeep and ran towards the machhan, in no time she climbed the ladder and stood on the machaan. Baldev too was very happy. But he didn't follow her, he stood near the Jeep. Veera put her hand forward from the top of the machhan...Baldev slowly walked up to her and then climbed the ladder holding her hands. Veera could feel some restlessness in him...

V: Ki hoya Baldev...tu paresaan lag raha hain...he could hardly answer...mainu pata hain tu ehi soch raha hain na itne dion ke baad sab mainu dhenge to kaise react karenge...par tu pareshaan maat ho..mainu pata hain sab ehi chahte they ke main wapsa aa jauoon...

B: Nahi...Veera baat who nahi hain...sab log baas ek baar thuje dhekne ke liye taras rahe hain...who toh..

V: Toh keya tu yeh soch kar paresaan ho raha hain ke saab ehi poochenge ke hum ne talak kiun liya?..toh isme pareshaani wali keya gaal hain? Jab tune kabhi us divorce paper ko court main submit hi nahi kiya to iska matlab humara talak bhi nahi huwa...hum do no aaj bhi pati-patni hain...

B: Yeh baat aaj tak sirf mainu pata thi...aur aaj tujhe pata chala...tere gharwale, saare pind wale ehi jante hain ke humara talak ho chukka hain aur mainey thuje majboor kiya tha is ke liye...aur main bhi is baat se inkaar toh nahi kar sakta...ke main neh hi tujhe majhboor kiya tha...

V: Lekin jo kaam huwa hi nahi uske liye...tuje kiun dosh denge...main hoon na tere saath...

B: Baat sirf hum dono ki nahi hain Veera...humarare pariwaar wale...yeh toh punchenge na...ke hum neh aisa kiun kiya...keya kahenge hum...

V: Baas itna hi kahenge ke jo kabhi huwa hi nahi usko leke kiun itna sochna...pati-patni ke beech ke haar baat toh sab ke janne ke liye nahi hoti na...

B: Paresaani who nahi hain Veera...Paresaani kuch aur hi hain...

V: tu eh soch raha hain na, ke teri Beeji ka keya reaction hoga...

B: Nahi...Veera main yeh kabhi nahi bhool pauoonga ke joh bhi huwa usme unki saajish bhi maujood thi...jab se baat pata chali...maine kabhi unse baat tak nahi ki...

V: Keya...tu apne Beeji se baat nahi karta...Baldev who maa hain teri...

B: Yeh kaisy maa hain...jo khood apne bte ka ghar ujjar de...aur toh aur unhe is baat ka kabhi koye pastwa bhi nahi huwa...Veera Ratan chachi toh teri sauteli maa hain lekin unhone bhi kabhi...aisa kcuh nahi kiya...

V: Tu pareshaan maat ho Baldev...mainu to adat par chuki thi...bachpan se tere beeji ki jaali-katti sunti aye hoon main...jab tujhe pyaar huwa tab bhi yeh pata thi...ke mainu zamin asmaan ek karni hogi...unke dil jeetne ke liye...is liye who jo kahti main maan leti thi...yeh bhi pata tha keh who keya chahti hain, key kar rahi hain, kiun kar rahi hain...tab bhi...main is inthaan ke liye taiyaar thi...tu paresaan maat ho...saas bahu main yeh sab chata hain...lekin tu mainu ek gaal daas...jab tujhe yeh pata tha ke humara divorce nahi huwa toh kiun tu is ilzaam ko apne saar pe liye ghoom raha tha...

B: Hum toh aise hi baadnaam hain...hummeh badnaami ka keya darr...aur tub hi toh nahi thi...mainu begunah sabit karne keliye...

They shared an eye lock and then hugged each other...

B: Soon...Papaji aur Gunjan tere ghar gaye huwe hain...main tenu aas paas chor deta hoon...sab se mil kar ...unke saath waps aa jana...main apne office main rahoonga...sab ek saath ghar challenge...

V: Matlab...tu nahi chalega... Mere naal...Baldev shaked his head in disagreement...Baldev main jaanti hoon tu kiun nahi aana chahta hain mere ghar...lekin saab ki tarah aab Veerji ko bhi sachhyee ka samna karna hoga...woh is tarah galat phaime main jee nahi sakte...Baldev mai jaanti hoon who tuhe haiwaan samajh te hain...

B: tainu kaise pata who mainu haiwaan kehta hain...

V: kabhi fursaat main batungi...aab chal sab inezaar kar rahe honge...

B: EK baar phir soch ley Veera...In 6 mahinoh main main kabhi ter ghar ke cowkhat taq nahi gaya...tere Veer ka sakal taq nahi dekha...humesa usne is baat ka faida uthaya hain ke who tere Veer hain aur Gunjan ke pati...lekin ab uar bardast nahi hota...

V: Veerji ko bhi saach ka samna karna hoga Baldev...unhe bhi yeh samajh na hoga ke unke galat soch, unki be bajah nafrat ka faal saab ne bhugta hain...tu chaal mere saath...

Although Baldev was not entirely convinced...but he decided to go with her...
