"sorry Niru... sach mein sorry"
chandu pleaded for, maybe, the 100th time. But Niru did not budge. She had covered herself with the thick blanket from head to toe. She was hurt this time. How could her husband doubt her?
"ek baar toh aankhen kholo, maine sorry bola na... woh sab maine galti se kaha, gusse mein kaha... i dint mean it, sorry Niru... ek baar toh meri taraf dekho... please niru..."
"kya hai chandu? Maine kaha ke mujhe ..." irritated she threw the blanket and was pleasantly shocked to look around her. The room was decorated decorated with numerous candles and the bed was covered with rose petals. And then she saw chandu, kneeling next to the bed, with a board in his hand, on which SORRY was written in bold letters. Moreover, his face and his eyes showed that he was genuinely sorry. Niru looked at him.
"sorry Niru, sachh mein. Tumhara dil dukhane ka bilkul irada nahi tha"
but niru was hurt. she wanted chandu to know what she felt. she wished he would understand her situation at that moment. she poured out her heart in front of him.
"chandu tumne ek baar bhi nahin socha ke mujhpe kya beethi thi? Ek aadmi ne mere saath zabardasti karne ki koshish ki aur tumne kitni asani se bol diya ke main uske saath, apni marzi se gayi thi? Kya tum mujhe itna hi samajhte ho? Kya tumne mujhse ek baar bhi poocha ke yeh sab kaise hua tha? Nahi. Main maathi hoon ke mujhe uspe bharossa nahi karna chahiye tha, bina jaan-pehchan ke uske sath nahi jana chahiye tha. Lekin phir bhi..."
she burst into tears and covered her face with her hands. She was still sobbing when she heard chandu speak in a soft tone.
"main jaanta hoon ke maine bahut kuch bol diya. Mera irada nahi tha yeh sab kehne ka. Main itne gusse mein tha ke mujhe kuch samajh hi nahi aaya ke kya bolna chahiye aur kya nahi ... maine apne best friend, shagun, ko bhi isi tarah kho diya tha, usne bhi kisi par vishwas karke apni zindagi barbad ki thi. Aur aaj, jab maine uss aadmi ko tumhare sath battameezi karte hue dikha, toh mujhse raha nahi gaya. Im sorry Niru. Anjane mein hi bahut badi galti ho gayi. Bahut kuch bol gaya. Ab tum jo saza dena chaho, de sakti ho. lekin please mujhe maaf karo" his voice cracked ...
Niru looked at him. He was looking at the floor when he said all this. She knew that what he spoke was in anger and fear of losing her. It was not meant to hurt her at all. She smiled at him. wiping away her tears, she said to him
"thik hai, maaf kiya. Lekin iski saza toh tumhe milegi hi." Chandu looked up at her. He was happy that he was forgiven.
"jo saza dena chaho, de do. Main bhugatne ke liye tayar hoon. Mere liye bas itna kaafi hai ke tumne mujhe maaf kiya" saying this he hugged her tightly and she responded to the hug in the same manner. he felt relieved.
"i love you Niru. Tum mujhse rooth jaogi, toh mein marr jaunga" he said in an exteremely emotional tone. she placed her fingers on his lips.
"aaj bol diya, dobara mat bolna, kyunki Niru ki saansein, chandu se judi hui hain. Aur tumse pehle maut ko mera samna karna padega"
Chandu dint say anything. He just looked into her eyes. Then he kissed her fingers which were still on his lips, at which she felt shy and was about to turn, when he held her arms. He went close to her lips and said "i love you Niru" and sealed her lips.
Soon the moment turned into a heated one. he ran his hands on her chest to open the button of her suit, when she pushed him from her. Chandu looked at her in a confused manner. She just blushed and ran into the bathroom.
Chandu sat on the bed, facing the closed door of the bathroom, wondering what suddenly happened to her. She had never behaved like this. Maybe she was actually angry. Maybe this was his punishment. maybe she never wanted him to come close to her. maybe...
He heard the bathroom door open and looked up to see niru, and when he did, he missed a few heartbeats.
A shy, blushing Niru came out from the bathroom with open hair, wearing the short transparent nighty that chandu had brought for her from delhi. Chandu froze where he stood since he could clearly tell that there was nothing else worn below that dress. True that she was beautiful, but he had never seen her more beautiful and hot. Her smooth creamy skinned legs shone in the dim lit room full of candles. she was graciously endowed in those particular areas, thus having a perfectly shaped body.
Niru did not dare to look up at him, since she could already feel his strong gaze on her. She quietly walked upto where chandu was standing, still looking down.
"i love you chandu, aur aaj chahthi hoon ke tum mujhe poori tarah se apni patni bana lo" she spoke in soft whispers, in a husky voice.
Again, Chandu said nothing. He scooped her up in his arms and made her sit on the bed. Chandu's lips descended on hers in a crushing beat. She sat motionless for few seconds, her back against the bed rest, as she tried to feel what was going on. She felt his hands cup her face in a firm grasp, his palms burning hot against her cheeks. Niru found herself winding her arms around his neck and dragging his body closer to hers as he attacked her mouth with his lips.
Opening her mouth to him, she tasted him, feeling the warmth of his tongue and his mouth... Chandu felt all the anger and fear that had attacked his body from seeing his wife in the arms of a wicked man, rush out as he feasted on her mouth. As her fingers reached up into his hair, he groaned slightly into her mouth, relishing in the feel of her nails scraping against his scalp. They both lied down on the bed, with Niru beneath the weight of his heavy body. They both knew it, this was going to be one long hard night.
Speaking of hard, Niru could feel just how much this was affecting him against her waist. Dragging her mouth away from his to take a breath, she looked up into his eyes and saw the same need that she had at the moment. His look spoke volumes: there was no turning back for them.
Grabbing his face again, she brought their lips together once more and moaned as she felt his hands slide down her body, cupping her curves. He ripped his mouth away from hers and dragged his lips down her neck, nipping lightly with his teeth and kissing the marks he left behind.
She arched her back giving him space, needing to feel closer to him, to feel the body heat radiating from him. His entire body was on fire, just from touching his wife, just from tasting her mouth, just from having her hands roam through his hair and down his chest.
His fingers explored aggressively through her hair and back and the broken sigh she elicited was enough to drive him mad. She was burning and ready, and he knew that she loved what he was doing to her since she kept urging him on with her tiny whimpers, her drawn out moans and her whispered calls of his name
He kissed her hard, playing with the strap of her dress, pulling it down to her elbow, revealing quite a lot more than just her bare shoulders.
She reciprocated the kiss with equal passion. Chandu's breath hitched as he rested his forehead against hers, for a brief period, simply looking into her eyes and took her lips again.
"Niru... can we ... we... do it???? " he gasped, in between kisses.
His incoherent words wrapped around her in a delicate caress and she brought her hands to his face and stroked his clean shaven cheeks. "Ssshhh." she whispered to him.
He cupped her wrists in his hands and kissed them both gently. She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him deeper once more. They both soon undressed each other and went on to make love; and it was just a matter of few minutes, when he transformed her into a complete woman, thus consummating their wedding.
Once they were done, they lay next to each other, without any clothing except for the blanket covering their nudity, looking into each others eyes, feeling the sense of completeness and togetherness. Chandu wrapped his arms round her arms, while she snaked hers round his waist.
"maine tumhe maaf toh kiya, lekin tumhari saza abhi baki hai" spoke Niru in soft whispers after a long while and chandu just looked into her eyes in disbelief.
"tum abhi bhi usi ke baare mein soch rahi ho?" he just couldnt believe what she said. Even after such a heated passion and consummation, she was expecting him to be punished.
"haan soch rahi hoon... aur tumhe saza bhi abhi ke abhi poori karni hogi" she said as she seductively neared him. "Make love to me all night, chandu" she moaned in his ears. Chandu was surprized but did not say anything. He was more than happy to be punished since he loved this punishment. He rolled over her and they had numerous love making sessions till quite early in the morning.
It had been quite late when Niru opened her eyes. She saw the alarm clock which was screaming a friggin' 2pm. She looked around to see where chandu was. Wait... Why was she sitting there without clothes? Immediately the previous night's events came flashing before her eyes. She blushed hard when she saw their clothes scattered all over the room. meanwhile chandu came out from the bathroom dressed in a tshirt and jeans. Niru covered herself properly with the blanket. He saw her blushing hard and she looked beautiful.
"good morning jaan." He said in an ever cheerful mood. No prizes for guessing why he was so cheerful.
"good morning" she said shyly, wrapping herself in the blanket. She did feel weak and sore due to last night, but it was all worth it.
"kal raat se zyada toh tum ab sharma rahi ho" he teased her, while she blushed harder, if that was ever possible. "ab jao tayyar ho jao. Hume maasi ke ghar jaana hai, unhe aur prem ko lene ke liye"
she got up with the blanket and proceeded towards the bathroom, while he pulled her towards him and she, in a hurry, dropped the blanket down on the floor. Chandu just kept staring at her, while she looked to the floor.
"arrey tum toh aise sharma rahi ho, jaise ki kal raat ko maine kuch nahi dekha" with this, she pushed him and ran to the bathroom to wear "some" clothes while chandu only laughed. She soon got ready in a pretty, baby pink saree while chandu cleaned up their room. he dint want prem to witness such a condition of their room and start shooting a million questions. Once done, they then drove to shilpa's house, teasing and romancing each other on the way.
Meanwhile a lady came crying into the police station and began to scream helplessly.
"sahab, itne din se aa rahi hoon, haat jodthi hoon sahab, mujhe mere bete se milne dijiye" susheela cried helplessly. She had come to meet sarja in jail, and simultaneously was running around to get him free.
"arrey nahi mil sakti tum. Bade sahab ne mana kiya, aur tum roz roz aana bandh kar. Tere bete ka kuch nahi hoga, usne khudh bola ke usne murder kiya. Toh tu kai ko apna aur humara time barbad kati hai. Chal ja yahan se. dimaag ke dahi nahi karne ka..."
Inspector shinde entered the station and saw susheela. He had gone out of station since the day of his arrest and had returned today itself.
"hawaldar, ise apne bete se milne do" he told the constable to whom susheela was speaking. She thanked him and ran to meet sarja.she was meeting him for the first time after his arrest. But when she saw him she couldnt recognise him.
"sarja, yeh kya halat bana rakhi hai tune?" she spoke in shock. Sarja was seated in the corner of the prison cell. His hair was shabby, his beard was unshaved, his clothes were dirty and soiled, he looked pitiable and miserable.
"maai?" he spoke, maybe for the first time after he was arrested.
"yeh kya hua re? Tune aisa kyun kiya? Main jaanti hoon tune kuch nahi kiya, tu aisa kar hi nahi sakta. Tujhse in logon ne zabardasti yeh sab bulwaya na? Bol na beta. Apni maai se baat nahi karega?"
"nahi maai, koi zabardasti nahi. Maine shagun ki jaan li thi. Meri galti ke wajah se, ek baccha apni maa se door ho gaya. Ek pati ne apni patni ko kho diya. Main gunahgaar hoon, aur mujhe saza milni chahiye"
"tu jhoot bol raha hain na?" she asked him, to which he hung his head in shame.
"chandu aur Niru? Woh kaise hain?" sarja asked susheela. He had been angry at that moment when they got married secretly, but that did not mean he hated them.
"maloom nahi. Uss Niru ka naam mat le. Usne hum sab ko dhoka diya hai. Meri haay lagegi usey. " she spat in anger.
"maai, isme Niru ki kya galti? Usne kuch nahi kiya. Arrey woh toh kuch jaanthi bhi nahi thi. Aap bewajah usey..." he hoped in vain, that her anger would calm down.
"chupp..." susheela cut his words. "tu yahan jail mein unki wajah se hai aur tu phir bhi unki tarafdari kar raha hai? Nahi sarja. Main tere jaisi mahan nahi ho sakti. Nafrat hai mujhe Niru se. Thik hai, main samajh sakti hoon ke chandu ne yeh sab kis liya kiya. Kyunki usne apne patni ko kho diya. Lekin Niru ne yeh sab kyun kiya? Bolo?"
Sarja was silent. He knew it was not chandu's fault nor Niru's fault. If he was in jail, it was his own anger, his own mistakes that brought him there. But who was to make susheela understand.
They spoke for a while and cried too. But before leaving from there, susheela said to sarja
"uss Niru ko main kabhi maaf nahi karungi. Haay lagegi usey meri. Woh kabhi khush nahi rahegi. Usne mujhse mera beta cheena hai. Woh iski saza zaroor bhugthegi. Yeh ek maa ki baddua hai" saying this she left from there and sarja had nothing else to do, other than repent for his deeds and pray for chandu's and Niru's safety and happiness...
toh kya susheela ki haay, niru ka basa-basaaya ghar ujaad dega? ya phir har baar ki tarah is baar bhi chandu uska sath dega? well, time will tell...
