Chapter 6A:
Present:
M-tum yaha kya kar rahe ho?????She looked at him with utmost shock and surprise...rooted to her spot and didnt make a move.Raj smiled looking at her shocked face and closed the book he was reading.By minimizing the distance between them...he snapped his fingers in front of him and Moushmi came back to reality.
R(smiles)-tumhe kya hua!!??aisa lag raha hai ki koi bhoot dekh liya ho tumne.....hello..main hi hoon Raj...jaanti ho na mujhe.....
M-Raj!!!!ufff...tum na.....lekin tumhe yaha ka patta kisne diya??
R-Madam...agar aap ki aagyah ho toh hum ye question-answer ka round baith ke khele......
Moushmi smiled.
M-aao..baitho....They both made their way to a bench in the library and sat opposite to each other.
M-acha ab bataunge...tum yaha..kaise aur kyun...??
R-hmmm...pehle sawaal se shuro karte hai......kaise!!main yaha apni gaadi se aaya hoon....(Moushmi smiled and rolled her eyes)....kyun!!tumse milne aur tumse koi important baat karne...(Moushmi was abt to speak but Raj stopped her)...rukh jaao..abhi saare questions ke answer nahi hue.......mujhe yaha ka patta kaise pata chala!!(He went close to her..while Moushmi got surprised)toh madam...hume aapke baare mein sab kuch pata hai......jo shayad.....(now looking directly in her eyes) aap khud bhi nahi jaanti....
Moushmi gulped and lowered her eyes and smiled.Raj smiled too and sat straight.
M-ummm....wo...meri ek class hai...toh mujhe jaana hoga....Raj cut-in between....
R-Moushmi yaar...kya hai...main itni door se tumse milne aaya aur pichle aadhe ghante se tumhara library mein wait kar raha hoon...aur tum ho ki.......
M(smiled)-Raj!!main yaha bachon ko padhaati hoon....agar tum mujhe bata dete toh main kissi aur ko substitue karne ko keh deti.......
Raj become saddened and Moushmi noticed this.
''Arre Moushmi beta...tum yaha library mein kya kar rahi ho''?
Moushmi and Raj turned to find a woman standing there...smiling......
M(smiles)-arre Padma aunty....main bas.....
P(pointing towards Raj)-ye kaun hai??pehle toh kabhi inhe yaha nahi dekha.......
M-ji..ye...Raj hai..Raj Gupta....mere.....mere...Moushmi couldnt find words to introduce him...which made her confused...Raj noticed this and smiled.
M-mere...dost.They looked at each other..Raj smiled at her and she gave a confused smile.
P-ohh...acha...
M-aur Raj...ye hai Mrs.Padma Gupta...iss orphanage ki founder.....
R(smiles)-namaste aunty.....
P(smiles back)-jeete raho......(turning to Moushmi)...Moushmi beta tumhara waha bache intezaar kar rahe honge......
M(looking at Raj)-ji..main bas...wahi....
P-koi baat nahi...tum log baatein karo..main class le lungi.......
M-lekin aunty aap kyun takleef......
P-arre takleef kis baat ki....(turning to Raj)..ye jo tumhari dost hai na isse duniya bhar ki chinta lagi rehti hai...kissi ko bhi takleef nahi pohchana chahti...chahe phir khud.....
M-aunty!!!!!!
R(looking at Moushmi)-jaanta hoon,aunty...isse bahut achi tarah se jaan gaya hoon ab.......Moushmi looked at him.
Raj got up and took Padma's hands in his and said:
R-aap chinta mat kijiye aunty...ab se Moushmi ke daaman mein khushiyaan hongi.....aur kuch nahi.....Padma had tears in her eyes while Moushmi looked stunned looking at Raj's smiling face.
P-jeete raho,beta...Bhagwaan kare tumhe zamaane bhar ki khushiyaan mile......acha main chalti hoon.....
R-ji.....Padma left the spot leaving behind a determined Raj and an awkward Moushmi.
Rahul-Muskaan In The Car:
Mus-Rahul...
Rah-hmmm....
Mus-aap ko sach much lagta hai ki Raj bhaiya apne dil ki baat keh paayege Moushmi di se........
Rahul turned to her and smiled.
Rah-tum chinta mat karo,Muskaan.....ek baat batao tumhe.......
Mus-haan.....
Rah-bhaiya ne na apni zindagi mein bahut saari ladkiyon ke saath flirt kiya hai....bahut se ladkiyon ke saath unke affairs the.....par he was never serious with them.....and he never hurt anyone too...lekin jabse Moushmi di unki zindagi mein aayi hai...unki zindagi mein jaise ek nayapan aa gaya ho.....ek disha mil gayi hai unke khwabon aur sapno ko.....Muskaan,bhaiya ne apni poori life meri dekh-bhaal mein bitta di..kabhi mujhe kissi bhi baat ki kami nahi pohchaayi....kabhi mujhe ye ehsaas nahi hone diya ki main ek aanaath hoon....ma-baap,bhai-behen,dost....maine apne saare rishte mere bhaiya ke through hi jee liye hai.........aur ab jab unki life mein Moushmi di aayi hai..toh main chahta hoon ki bhaiya apni zindagi,apne khwabon aur apne sapno ke baare mein soche.....
Muskaan had tears in her eyes hearing all this.
Mus-haan Rahul...aap bilkul theek keh rahe hai......jis tarah Raj bhaiya ne apke liye apni poor zindagi de di...waise hi Moushmi di ne apni poori duniya mere liye chod di....apni umeede..khwaishe...sapne...sab kuch......aur ab humaari baari hai ki hum bhaiya aur di ki madat karre ki wo ek dusre ko apnaaye...apni zindagi mein ek naya rang laaye......jaise unhone humaare rishte mein laaya tha.......pyaar ka rang....
Rah-pata hai pehle na wo sure nahi the ki Moushmi di ke liye unki feelings pyaar hai ki nahi.....lekin ab wo sure hai aur unhe kuch hint bhi hai ki aag dono taraf se lagi hai toh ab wo dii ko kehke hi rahege....
Mus(smiles)-i hope so........
Rahul smiled and Muskaan kept her head over his shoulder.
Rah-tum mere saath ho na,Muskaan!!!!??
Mus-humesha Rahul....iss koshish mein aur zindagi ke har pal mein....aap mujhe apne saath paayenge.....
Rahul smiled and kissed the top of her head.Closing her eyes,she wondered how the slightest touch of his..would de-stress her completely...and just make her feel secure.
Back At The Library:
M-toh batao Raj...kya zaroi baat karni thi tumhe mujhse.!!?
R-haan...Moushmi wo main tumse ye kehna chahta tha ki....ki....

M-ohh haan...wo kitaab na.....uffoo..uske baare mein main toh bhool hi gayi thi.....kitne mahine ho gaye hai uss baat ko aur humne abhi tak uske baare mein kuch discuss hi nahi kiya hai.........
R-wohi toh...wo aaj na...Rahul aur meri baat ho rahi thi...and suddenly it clicked me abt the book....waise tumhaari behen ne mere bhai ko poora romeo bana diya hai..!!
M(raised eyebrows)-kya matlab!!?/
R(smiles)-arre wo aaj Muskaan se milne gaya tha uske hospital......
M(surprised and happy)-kya!!????
R(laughs)-haan...wo apni juliet se milne gaya tha..toh maine socha ki main apni.......He stopped mid-way and realised what he was abt to say.They looked at each other and Moushmi cheek's turned red and she avoided his gaze.Looking down at the book kept on the table...she smiled while Raj looked embarrassed and changed the topic.
R-ummm...haan...toh wo kitaab ka kya karna hai......
M-lekin Raj...tumne abhi tak mujhe apne aur Rahul ke rishte ke baare mein nahi bataya...toh ye kitaab kaise likhenge hum.........chalo aaj tumse sunte hai mere hone waale jeeju aur tumhare rishte ke baare mein.......batao na.....!!
