Aziyat...Sujal&Kashish FF...Last Part...10/06 - Page 50

The following evening...Abhinav was sat in his room reading a book before he would fall asleep and retire to his bed...when he heard the doorbell ring...he looked up curiously...thinking who it could be...he got up putting the book aside and headed to the door...unlocking it...he was shocked to see Kashish stood there...her eyes red from crying...and a suitcase in her hand...Abhinav couldn't figure what happened...

Abhinav: Kashish beta!..tum...itni raat ko...aur aise...

Kashish: dad...woh main...Sujal ne muje..

Abhinav: Sujal ne kya beta?..kuch hua kya...pehle tum andar aao beta...

He takes her bag bringing her inside...as he waited for an answer...

Kashish: main aur Sujal ab saath nahi hai..

Abhinav: kyaa..yeh tum..tum kya kehrahi ho beta..tum aur Sujal saath nahin..aisa kaise hosakta hai

Kashish: Sujal ne muje apni zindagi se nikal diya...muje kuch samaj me nahi aaya isi liye...isi liye yaha chali aayi...

Abhinav: lekin usne aisa kyun kiya beta...ab tak to sab kuch theek tha..phir achanak kaise..kuch hua kya tum dono ke beech?

Kashish: use lagta hai maine..maine use dhoka diya...lekin aap to jante hai na ki main...main kaise sujal ko dhoka de sakti hoon...

Abhinav: tumne usse dhoka diya..kis baat pe dhoka? beta saaf saaf bolo ke kya hua..muje kuch samaj nahin aaraha

Kashish: main...main..dad..I love him...bahot pyaar karti hoon main use...

Abhinav: Kashish...beta to isme..isme galat kya hai..Sujal ab tumhara pati hai..yeh to khushi ki baat hai ke tumne usse apna liya

Kashish: nahi dad...main use shaadi ke baad nahi balke...jabse maine use airport pe dekha tab se..tab se use pyaar karti hoon...itna pyaar karti hoon ki uske bina jee nahi sakti...dad maine use koi dhoka nahi diya...aap to jante hai na...

Abhinav just looks at her in shock..his eyes grew wide..as he couldn't believe what he just heard..he was still as he just fell to the sofa in shock..not being able to believe what she told him..those words slowly registering in his mind..as realisation struck him...when he looked up..

Abhinav: Kashish...yaani woh..woh insaan..jisse tum..tum pyar karti thi..woh Sujal tha..aur tum..tum muje ab bata rahi ho...Kashish kyun kiya aisa beta..kyun nahin kaha tumne mujse pehle..itna sab kuch hogaya..aur tum muje ab bata rahi ho ke tum Sujal se..usse..usse pyar karti thi..

Kashish: to main...main kya karti...Maahi ki khushi ke raaste me aa jati...nahi dad main aisa nahi kar pati...main kabhi yeh sach sujal ko batana hi nahi chahti thi..lekin aaj use...use pata chal gaya...

Abhinav: to tumhe kya lagga tha ke Sujal ko kabhi is baare me pata nahin chalega...beta sach kabhi na kabhi to saamne aa hi jaatha hai..aur raha sawaal Maahi ki khushi ka..to agar tum usse pyar karti thi..to main Maahi aur Sujal ka rishta tai hi nahin karta..Maahi to Sujal ki dost thi...woh to mere kehne pe dono ne shaadi ke liye haan kaha...par tumne apni zindagi barbaad kyun ki beta...kyun nahin kaha kuch..

He holds his head in his hands..guilty..regretting that he wasn't able to see her love before..as his eyes grew wet

Kashish: dad...main khud nahi janti ki main..main kaise Sujal ko kisi ka hone diya...isse achcha hota ki main apne pyaar ka izhar kar leti to..to aaj Maahi meri jagah aur main Maahi ki jagah..

Abhinav looks up at her in horror..

Abhinav: Kashish!!..yeh tum kya kehrahi ho..tum aisi baat dubara apne muh se kabhi nahin nikalogi..tum aisa soch bhi kaise sakti ho beta...kya tumhe jeene ka koi haq nahin hai..

Kashish: yeh main nahi Sujal keh raha hai..

Abhinav: kyaa..Sujal ne..Sujal ne yeh kaha...woh aisa kaise...muje Sujal se yeh umeed nahin hai..woh yeh baad soch bhi kaise sakta hai..jo Maahi ke saath hua..woh uski kismat me likha tha..isme tumhara kya kasoor..

Kashish: use lagta hai ki maine...maine Maahi ko mara taki main use hasil kar saku..

Abhinav; kyaaa...Sujal ne..Sujal ne aisa kaha..muje yakeen nahin horaha..Sujal aisi baat kaise karsakta hai..aur tum Maahi ko kaise maar sakti ho..tumne to uske liye..mere liye..apne pyar ka galla ghot diya...Kashish muje..muje maaf kardo beta..main tumhe ya tumhaare pyar ko samaj nahin paaya..kaash ke main yeh baat pehle jaan leta to aaj tum Sujal ke saath khush hoti..maaf kardo muje beta..main tumhara gunahgaar hoon..

Abhinav was in tears as he lowers his head infront of Kashish..joining his hands infront of her..

Kashish: dad...yeh aap kya kar rahe hai...isme aapki koi galti nahi...shayad mera pyar ji kachcha tha isi liye kabhi main uske samne keh nahi payi...isme aapki ya Maahi ki koi galti nahi...galti meri hai ki maine Sujal se itna pyaar kiya...shayad usiki saja mil rahi hai muje...lekin Dad kya galti ki maine...sirf Sujal se pyaar kiya woh...

Abhinav: tumhari koi galti nahin thi beta..balke tumne to woh kiya jo shayad koi bhi nahin kar paata..tumne meri aur Maahi ki khushi ke liye apne pyar ko kurbaan kardiya..lekin ab main tumhe tumhara pyar dilwa kar rahunga..main Sujal se baat karunga..abhi issi waqt..aur usse samjhaunga ke woh jo kar raha hai woh theek nahin hai..woh kaise nahin samaj raha tumhe

Kashish: nahi dad...aap is bare me Sujal se ek sawaal bhi nahi karenge...main use ab aur taklif nahi de sakti...aap unse zara bhi aise bartav nahi karenge ki kuch hua hai...agar woh nahi chahta ki main uski zindagi me rahu to waisa hi hoga kyunki yeh Kashish ne sirf Sujal ke liye hi jina sikha hai..

Abhinav: lekin Kashish..yeh galat hai...woh aisa nahin karsakta..woh tumhari zindagi kaise barbaad karsakta hai.jab ke tum usse itna pyar karti ho..tumhe bhi khush rehne ka haq hai..muje usse baat karni hi hogi

Kashish: nahi dad...aapko meri kasam ...aap use kuch nahi kahenge..

Abhinav: Kashish please..tum apni kasam waapis lelo...muje Sujal se baat karni hi hogi..main tumhe is tarah tutte huye nahin dekh sakta..

Kashish: aur main Sujal ko pareshani me nahi dekh sakti..

Abhinav looks at her and places his hand on her head lovingly..

Abhinav: itna pyar karti ho use..ke uske liye aaj tak dard seh rahi ho tum

Kashish: iska jawab to mere pass bhi nahi lekin meri zindagi sirf sujal ke liye hai...woh hai to main hoon woh nahi to main bhi nahi..

Abhinav: kitna badkismat hai Sujal..ke woh tumhe aur tumhare pyar ko samaj nahin pa raha..theek hai beta..main usse kuch nahin kahunga

Kashish: thank you dad...aur badkismat woh nahi main hoon...

Kashish looks at him for a moment and than runs towards her room..Abhinav looks towards her helplessly..as he saw her rush to her room..he just setled on the sofa..lost in thoughts...as tears escaped from his eyes..he was very guilty for not understanding her love..

************************************************************************************

At the other end..Sujal parked up outside Garewal Mansion as he sat in the car for sometime looking into the open space..he opened the door taking his luggage and locked the car as he headed inside silently..yet the anger still visible in his eyes..he unlocked the door and headed inside..when he saw that Daima was sat waiting in the lounge..when she saw him and stopped him...he just stood there still..not sayng anything

Daima: Sujal...kya hua...itna utra hua chehra kyun hai...aur yeh Kashish kaha hai...kahi phir se Mumbai to nahi reh gayi..

Sujal just stood there silently for a moment and then spoke up..

Sujal: agar aapko uske baare me baat karni hai Daima..to muje aapse koi baat nahin karni

Daima: ek minute...pehle muje batayega ki Kashish kaha hai...aur woh kaisi hai...

Sujal: woh kahan hai..kaisi hai..ab isse muje koi fark nahin padta Daima..behtar yahin hoga ke aap uska naam mere saamne dubara mat le

Daima: kyun na loon...woh tumhari biwi hai...aur main tumse aakhri bar puch rahi hoon Kashish kaha hai...Sujal Kashish kaha hai...

Sujal: maine usse boldiya hai ke woh mere saamne dubara kabhi mat aaye...usne muje dhoka diya hai..aur ab mera usse koi vaasta nahin hai..usne meri zindagi ko barbaad kardiya hai

Daima: kya kaha...Kashish ne tumhari zindagi ko...tum hosh me to ho ki kya keh rahe ho...

Sujal; nahin Daima..pehle main ek jhoot me ji raha tha..lekin haan ab hosh me aagaya hoon main..aur maine bilkul sahi faisla liya hai..Kashish hi Maahi ki maut ki zimmedaar hai..ussi ki burri nazar laggi humare rishte ko..ab main uski shakal tak nahin dekhna chahta

Daima: KYA!!!...Kashish ki buri nazar...Sujal woh aisa kaise kar sakti hai...usne to aaj tak sapne me bhi kisi ka bura nahi chaha...yaha tak ki uska pyaar jo kabhi uska nahi ho saka uske bare me bhi woh kabhi bura nahi soch sakti to Maahi to uski behen thi...shayad tumhe koi wahem hua hai...

Sujal: muje wahem hua hai?..aur Daima kya aap jaan na chahengi ke woh kisse pyar karti hai..woh insaan main hoon Daima..Kashish humesha se mujse pyar karti hai..aur usne burra socha hai..tabhi burra hua hai...agar woh apni behen ki nahin ho saki to woh muje kya sambhalegi..muje uski koi zaroorat nahin hai

Daima: tum aisa uske saath nahi kar sakte...usne sirf tumse pyaar hi to kiya hai...aur woh buri nahi hai Sujal...tum dono pati patni ho...aur yeh achchi baat hai ki woh tumse pyaar karti hai...kya tum use pyaar nahi kar sakte..

Sujal: is sach ke baad to kabhi bhi nahin Daima..main apni taraf se koshish kar raha tha ke main usse..usse apni zindagi mein jagah de sakun..lekin ab..ab main usse nafrat karta hoon Daima..main uske saath nahin rehsakta..muje usse dekh ke Maahi ki maut yaad aajathi hai..sab kuch dhoka lagta hai mujhe..aur main aise nahin ji sakta..

Daima: kya tumhe abhi bhi Kashish me tumhari dost nahi nazar aati..

Sujal: kaisi dost Daima?...dost peet peeche waar nahin karte..ab main uspe bharosa nahin karsakta..uspe kya..main to ab kissi pe bhi bharosa nahin karsakta..usne mere vishwaas ko thes pohanchayi hai

Daima: tum aage jake apni is galti pe bahot pachtaoge..

Sujal: aisa kabhi nahin hoga Daima..kabhi bhi nahin...aur ab please..dubara muje is baare me koi baat nahin karni..main apne kamre me hoon..

Without looking at Daima he walked off from there taking his bags..as he headed to his room closing the door shut behind him..leaving Daima in shock

Daima: samaj me nahi aa raha ki bacho ke saath kya ho raha hai...lagta hai kal Kashish se baat karna zaroori hai..

Daima lowers her gaze and heads away into her room..still in shock of what happened..she didn't understand what game destiny was playing with them and hoped that things would settle down soon

************************************************************************************

The following day..Sujal arrived at the office as normal..he headed inside with a straight face..minus any expression..as he walked into his cabin settling down..he settled on his chair and turned on his laptop..beginning to work..10 minutes later..the office doors opened as to everybody's surprise..Abhinav walked in..dressed in his office suit..this was the first time since Maahi died that Abhinav had stepped into the office..and even then did he rarely come..all were surprised to see him walk in..Abhinav headed to Sujal's cabin..and stood outside for a minute..composing himself before knocking..he did not want to face Sujal after what happened but had no choice as it was Kashish's wish for him to remain quiet..he knocked on the door waiting..

Sujal: come in

Abhinav walked in while not knowing what to talk..

Abhinav: Sujal...

Sujal looks up at him surprised to see him and stood up from his chair...

Sujal: dad..aap yahan..office me

Abhinav: aaj se Kashish ki jagah me kaam karnewala hoon..

Sujal just looks at him for a minute surprised..and then remembers what happened back in Mumbai..and what he had said to Kashish..he lowers his gaze as he nods his head..looking back up at him..

Sujal: aap ko yahan waapis dekh ke bohat acha lagga dad..agar kuch bhi chahiye ho to aap mujse pooch lena

Abhinav: for sure...muje woh Royal Palm Resort ki file chahiye...i think Kashish uspe hi kaam kar rahi hai to...

Sujal: ji dad..mein abhi aapko nikaal ke deta hoon..aap baithiye..

Sujal stands up as he walks to his cupboard..looking through it for the file whilst Abhinav stood there silently watching him..and then moved his gaze..it would be so hard for him to act normal with Sujal as though nothing happened but he had to do it for the sake of Kashish..he moed his gaze lower as Sujal walked up to him with the file holding it out..

Sujal: yeh rahi file dad..

Abhinav: thik hai...aaj se yeh project mere under me rahega...

Sujal: ji dad...aur agar koi help chahiye ho tho aap mujse pooch lena..Mary bhi shayad is project ke baare me aur information aapko de payegi..

Abhinav: thank you beta...main apni office me hoon...agar kisi ka call aaye to..

Sujal: ji..theek hai..

Sujal passes him a weak smile as he looks up at him and then Abhinav lowers his gaze leaving for the cabin..Sujal settled down on his seat..resting back on his chair as he dropped his head back on the seat..lost in thoughts as he quietly rocked on his chair..thinking about Abhinav..he wondered if he knew about anything..as he seemed to be quite normal with Sujal..Sujal pondered over his thoughts for some moments..and then soon let go as Mumbai's events came back to him..his frustration increasing..he snapped the pencil in his hand in the process which brought him out of his thoughts..he sat up and then got back to work..ignoring it all

************************************************************************************

The following day..Sujal and Abhinav were at the office whilst Kashish was at home..she sat in her bedroom silently..cuddling her legs as she settled her head on her legs..her eyes closed as she quietly looked into space..lost in deep thoughts..her eyes were red..as though her pain did not seem to leave her for even a moment..she was broken from the inside..when she heard the doorbell..she gently lifted her head up and came out of her thoughts..getting up she headed downstairs..opening the door..when to her surprise she saw Dama stood there at the door..she stared at daima for a moment..as daima observed her..she seemed like a lifeless body..like she hadn't slept for nights..and neither did she appear to look like a married woman..

Daima: andar nahin bulaogi Kashish

Kashish: nahi Daima...aap andar to aaiye..aaiye andar..

She moves aside letting Daima in whilst Daima heads inside and looks back at her as she closed the door...

Daima: tum abhi bhi Sujal ki patni ho..phir tumhari maang ka sindoor kahan hai?

Kashish: kyunki aapke bete ne muje apni zindagi se nikal diya hai..to ab muje uska koi hakk nahi...

Daima: to kya ab tum Sujal ki patni nahin rahi Kashish?..kya tum usse ab apna pati nahin maanti...

Kashish: hamesha se manti hoon..aur manti rahungi...mere liye mera pyaar mera pati sirf Sujal hai lekin woh hamare rishte ko nahi manta..

Daima: Sujal ke maan ne na maan ne se yeh sach badalta nahin hai Kashish...ke tum uski patni ho..aur tumhara haq bhi dugna hai..Maahi se bhi kahin zyada..kyunki anjaane me hi sahi..Sujal ki shaadi to sabse pehle tumse hi huyi thi...bhool gayi kya tum woh sab Kashish..maanti hoon ke pehli baar anjaane me yeh hua lekin ab tum dono to har maainay me pati patni ho

Kashish: main janti hoon meri shaadi do bar Sujal se huyi hai...lekin phir bhi aaj patni ka hakk nahi...phir bhi aaj Sujal ke liye uski patni sirf Maahi hai...mera to koi wajood hi nahi uski zindagi me...

Daima: kyunki tum apne hakk ke liye kabhi ladna nahin seekhi Kashish..kitni baar maine tumse kaha ke tumhe Sujal se apne dil ki baat kehdeni chahiye..lekin tumne kuch nahin kaha...kyun nahin bola tumne usse kuch

Kashish: jab bola to kya hua...aap to jante hi hai...usne kya kiya ...muje nikal diya apni zindagi se...aaj pyaar ke saath dost bhi kho chuki main...

Daima: kyunki jis tarah se usse pata chala...woh galath tha..lekin agar tumne usse shuru me hi apne dil ki baat bata di hoti to aaj yeh sab nahin hota Kashish...maine tumse kaha tha na ke usse boldo ke tum usse pyar karti ho..lekin tum chup rahi..sabko khushi deke khud jalti rahi tum,..aur aaj dekho to aaj bhi tum akeli rehgayi..kyun barbaad ki tumne apni zindagi Kashish

Kashish: to kya karoon ab main..meri kuch samaj me nahi aa raha...kaise main Sujal ko samjau...ki main use kitna pyaar karti hoon..kyun woh muje apna dushman man raha hai jab ke maine aaj tak khud se pehle uske bare me socha hai...

Daima: beta kaash main tumhare liye kuch kar paati..lekin ab bohat dair ho chuki hai..agar tum muje apni kasam se azaad karti ho to shayad main kuch karsakti hoon..main Sujal se baat karungi..

Kashish: nahi Daima...na aap kabhi kuch kahenge na hi Dad...yeh mere aur Sujal ke beech ki problem hai main nahi chahti ki iski waje se aap ke aur uske rishte me koi daraar aaye...

Daima; kyun Kashish beta..kyun aisa kar rahi ho tum..ab bhi tum apna nahin..Sujal ka soch rahi ho..kyun humesha tum doosron ke baare me pehle sochti ho..kya tumhe jeene ka..khush rehne ka hakk nahin hai?

Kashish: haa muje hakk hai Daima lekin sirf Sujal ke saath ke saath..jab uska saath hi nahi to main kaise khush reh sakti hoon...pyaar kiya hai maine use ...uski khushi ka khayal karna meri jimedari hai..

Daima: aur kya uski zimmedaari koi bhi nahin hai Kashish? uski bhi zimmedaari hai ke woh tumhe khush rakhe..lekin agar tum hume kuch kehne nahin dogi to kaise hoga yeh

Kashish: jaise hota aaya hai waise hi...upperwale ke ghar dair hai andher nahi...usne kuch na kuch to achcha mere bare me socha hoga...main intzaar kar lungi..

Daima: kya saari zindagi tum intezaar hi karti rahogi Kashish..tumhe khush rehne ka haq hai..agar tum intezaar me apni zindagi bita dogi to kahin dair na hojaye Kashish..ek baar thande dimaag se socho Kashish beta...tum apni khushian dao par laga rahi ho

Kashish: aaj sirf baat khushi ki hai...main Sujal ke liye apni zindagi bhi dav pe laga sakti hoon...aur muje koi afsoos nahi hoga agar mere intzaar ke liye meri zindagi kam pad jaye...lekin sirf ek baar sujal ke muh se main apne bare me use pyaar ka izhar sunte dekhna chhati hoon...muje uske alawa aur kuch nahi chahiye..

Daima: kyun karti ho usse itna pyar Kashish...jab ke woh us pyar ke layak nahin hai..woh aaj tak nahin samaj paaya tumhare pyar ko..na hi jaan paaya..aur jab usne jaana to bhi usne tumhe galat samja..Sujal se zyada badkismat insaan maine aaj tak nahin dekha..muje bhi us din ka intezaar rahega..jab woh tumhare pyar ko samjega

Kashish: Daima maine pehle bhi kaha hai aur aaj bhi kahungi...aap please mere samne Sujal ki burai mat kijiye...muje achcha nahi lagta...aur maine use pyaar kiya hai to yeh zaroori to nahi ki woh bhi muje apna le...

Daima: agar tum pyar hoti to yeh zaroori nahin tha..lekin tum uski patni ho..aur usse tumhe apnana chahiye..kyunki yeh tumhara hakk hai..par tum nahin maan rahi..ab main prathna ke alawa aur kuch nahin karsakti..

Kashish: shayad aapki dua hi kam aa jaye...waise ab main to us ghar me nahi aa rahi lekin aap...aap Sujal ka khayal rakhna...woh abhi gusse me hai to khana pina chod dega..lekin aap use Maahi ka vasta deke samjake khila dijiyega..

Daima: main uske khaane peene ka to dekh sakti hoon beta..par uska akelapann sirf tum hi durr karsakti ho..

Kashish: jab tak woh nahi chahta main kuch nahi kar sakti Daima..

Daima: ek na ek din woh tumhard pyar ko zaroor samjega beta...ab main chalti hoon...tum apna khayal rakhna...aur agli baar jab tum muje millo to main chahti hoon ke tumhari maang me sindoor ho...warna muje bohat burra lagega

Kashish: jee Daima...jaisa aap chahti hai waise hi main Sujal ki patni banke rahungi..

Daima: hmmm...theek hai beta...apna khayal rakhna aur fikr mat karna..sab theek hojayega...

Daima takes her in her arms as she hugs her to assure her...knowing she needed her at that point..Kashish holds onto her tight..needing that support and then gently moved back..Daima kissed her forehead and then left from there as Kashish watched her go

************************************************************************************

Two weeks had gone by in the life of Sujal and Kashish..and not much had changed within these two weeks..the situation was still the same...and neither was anything resolved between Sujal and Kashish...one evening..Kashish was in her room..lost in deep thoughts as she was placing her clothes back in her closet..she reached out for the top shelf placing some clothes there...when her hand touched something smooth..she held onto it and pulled it down...when she stared at the cover..it was the album for Sujal and Maahi's wedding..the cover of the album had a photo of Maahi and Sujal placed on the front..Kashish took a step back holding onto the album as she stared at their photograph..walking to the bed..settling at the edge of the bed..as she sat staring at the photo..
