The cloudy weather got GUNJAN worried. She was standing at the college gates, waiting for a Taxi. But so far she had not been successful in spotting one. Adding to her woes were the books that she carried... they were the property of the college and If it started raining and the books got wet, she or rather uncle would be answerable to the librarian. She was searching frantically for a cab as she heard the screech of brakes close to her. She looked in the direction of the noise... her face clearly showing fear... to see a suave Mercedes reversing towards her. As the car came to a halt near her, the rear window opened and smiling at her was...MONISH...
He got of the car and walked towards her. GUNJAN felt relaxed seeing MONISH... a face she knew. He spoke in a caring tone, asking her... "Tum Yahaan...?? College se aa rahi ho...?"
GUNJAN smiled back at him as she spoke in her soft, sweet voice, mesmerising MONISH even more... "Ji...woh kuchh Books issue karane the iss liye...Par aap yahaan...??
M - College toh main bhi aa sakta hoon...B'coz,I M 1 of the trustee naa... (He smiled,GUNJAN softly smiled too) Lekin,abhi toh bas yahaan se guzar raha tha...Par,tum yahaan kyun khadi ho...?
G - Woh bas kisi Taxi yaa Auto ka wait kar rahi thi...
M - Mere hote hue ?? Kisi aur ka Intezaar...?? Kya yeh tumhein unfair nahin lag raha...?? (asked in fake serious tone)
G - Ji...?? Matlab main samjhi nahin...(asked in little confusing tone)
M - Arre ! Simple sa toh matlab hai... Chalo main tumhein ghar tak drop kar deta hoon...Main ussi taraf ja raha hoon...aur waise bhi Agar Uncle ko pata chala ki,maine tumhein yun hi road par Taxi ka wait karne ke liye chhod diya toh woh kya sochenge mere baare mein...?? (asked innocently)
Waise bhi mujhe tumhein Lift dene ka kaafi purana experience hai... DELHi se lift deta aa raha hoon...ab toh expert ho gaya hoon...Tum mujh par ab bhi trust kar sakti ho...(said lovingly)
G - (said with smiling face) Thanx but,Its ok...I'll manage it.Aap be-wajah takleef karenge...main khud se chali jaaoongi.
M - Issi liye...Issi wajah se hamare country ki development nahin ho paa rahi... Mujhe laga tha tum 1 sensible aur responsible citizen ho..?? Par tum bhi...ab kya kahoon... (made a very concerned serious face)
G - WHAT...?? (shockingly) Main samjhi nahin...? Mere Lift lene yaa na lene se India ki development par kyun effect padega...?? (asked very innocently)
M - Very simply effect padega...aur yehi nahin kaafi deep impact padega... (said in very confident tone)
G - Woh kaise...?? (asked with ful of curiosity)
M - Ok...tell me kisi bhi Country ke development ka sabse important part kya hota hai...?? ECONOMY... aur Economy tabhi smooth hogi jab uss country mein Transportation easy ho. Transportation easy hone ke liye kya chahiye...Fuel and smooth Road ki facility. M I right...??
G - Yes...Par main abhi nahin samjhi... (asked again with very curious expression)
M - Toh main samjha raha hoon naa... Fuel and smooth road ki availibilty ke liye chahiye ki hum Fuel save karein aur kam se kam vehicles ka use karein...ab tum apna hi example lo...agar tum mere saath ghar tak chalogi...toh iske 4 benefits honge...
G - (strangely) 4 benefits...?? Woh kya...??
M - 1st toh Hum saath chalkar Fuel save kar lenge... Jo Fuel save hoga woh hamaari next generation ko kaam aayega... (As he spoke,his tone serious...GUNJAN felt she was attending a lecture... MONISH was speaking so seriously...) 2nd,Road par agar 1 Taxi kam rahegi toh Trafic ki problem thodi kam hogi...means easy transportation. 3rd Hum saath mein rahenge toh baat karte hue manzeel[Destination] ki doori ka pata hi nahin chalega...aur,hum fauran ghar tak pahunch jaayenge... (said very happily)
G - Aur 4th benefit...??
M - 4th Benefit,woh toh mera zyada hai... (smiled) Woh yeh ki,agar main tumhein ghar tak drop karoonga toh,tum mujhe waise hi toh nahin jaane dogi... Definitely,Mujhe Coffee offer karogi...Ab jab itni khoobsurat ladki,jo world ki Best coffee banati ho agar woh mujhe coffee ke liye pooche, toh main mana kaise kar sakta hoon... (smiled softly) Toh hue naa Itne saare Benefits...Toh Miss BHUSHAN... Please meri car mein baith kar...Hamein bhi INDIA ki development mein kuchh contribute karne ka chance dijiye... (said in very cute appealing tone)
As GUNJAN's smiles converted to giggles, making her look all the more cute , MONISH smiled widely. He wanted to see GUNJAN laugh...her eyes smile ... he spoke in the same soft tone... "Ab toh car main baitho...Aur,waise bhi main tumse kaafi naraaz hoon... (suddenly He made a little fake upset face)
G - (shockingly) Naraaz...?? mujhse...?? Par kyun...? Maine aisa kya kiya...??
M - Yahaan nahin...Car mein baatein karte hain...Kyunki,tumhaara toh pata nahin...par,agar main iss kadi dhoop mein aur thodi der khada raha toh,Butter ki tarah melt ho jaaoonga... Aur yeh mera achha khasa 'Chocolaty' face...sach mein Chocolate ki tarah Dark color ka ho jaayega... Tum Kya chahti ho...? Mere hone waale bachhe 'African' lagein...? (asked very innocently with puppy face)
This sentence sent GUNJAN into peals of laughter... MONISH kept staring at her...She looked so beautiful... and her laugh sounded so melodious... He would ensure that she would never have to shed tears... ensure that he would make her smile and laugh...Keep her happy...His eyes were just not leaving her face...without a blink. He kept looking at her... when, she realised that MONISH was staring at her, she stopped laughing and looked away flustered.
MONISH however continued looking at her...She slowly looked at him and when he realised that he was he was staring, he moved his gaze away from her. Then he looked at her again and raised his eyebrows... implying that he was waiting for her reply. Smiling faintly, she spoke softly... "Nahin main aisa nahin chahti... Ok...saath mein hi chalte hain...waise bhi aap se arguement karne ka koi benefit nahin...main aap se baatoon mein nahin jeet sakti...
M - Yaa...U R right...Mere teachers bhi yehi kaha karte the... (smiled) toh ab hamein chalna chahiye..
MONISH opened the passenger door for GUNJAN. Looking at MONISH and smiling. She sat in the car. MONISH gently shut the door and walking to the other side, took his seat next to her. He glanced at her as he remembered that night in DELHI... but, the difference this time was that, then they were sitting on the Front seat... now they were sitting at the rear of the car But, what made MONISH happy was that today she was relaxed... He instructed the Driver to start the vehicle. Then he looked at her and complained...
M - Main tumse bahot-bahot naraaz hoon... (made a fake anger face)
G - Oh,Yaa aapne bataya mujhe...par,Kyun...wajah toh aapne batai nahin..??
M - Kyun...?? Main uss shaam tumhaare ghar aaya tha par,tum thi hi nahin... Guest ko bulakar khud gayab ho jaana ...Yeh toh koi manners nahin...
G - Oh...I M really Sorry for that day... (She looked away... feeling embarrassed... she then looked at MONISH and lowered her gaze as she spoke...) It was totally my fault...Mujhe aapko call kar maafi maangni chahiye thi...Pehle toH aapko Canteen mein itni der wait karaya aur phir,ghar par bhi time se nahin pahunch saki...I M extremly sorry for that... Par,yakin maaniye mera aisa koi intension nahin tha,lekin uss din... (She left her sentence midway as she remembered the incidents of that night... once again she looked the other way, to hide the tears that were brimming in her eyes)
M - Oh... (smiled softly) Its ok...Don't feel bad...I M not serious . Main toh bas yun hi mazaak kar raha tha...so chill waise bhi,tumse koi naraaz nahin ho sakta aur main toh bilkul bhi nahin...
GUNJAN wiped her tears before they could spill over to her cheeks as she looked at MONISH... trying to understand what he had just said. She felt weird when she heard him speak... and asked him with curiosity... "Ji...? Woh Kyun..?"
M - Kyunki,tum itni achhi Coffee jo banati ho...Tumse naraaz ho gaya toh phir tumhaare haathon ki bani coffee kaise pee paaoonga... (laughed).
GUNJAN smiled faintly and looked out of the window. There was complete silence in the car... a smooth talker like MONISH too did not know how to continue with the conversation. He looked at her and in a normal tone asked her...
M - By the way,maine yeh toh poocha hi nahin...Aaj office kyun nahin gayi...? Aur,yeh college...?? Aur Haan, uss din ke baad se tumne apna Cell bhi switch-off kiya hua hai...?
GUNJAN, who had turned to face MONISH was startled by these questions. She had never thought she would have to answer these questions again... she looked downwards as she mumbled... recollecting the incidents of that night... " Ji,woh Actually ! Maine uss raat apna Mobile kho diya...(She stopped mumbling as she remembered the way SAMRAT had behaved with her and she shut her eyes... trying to brush all those thoughts aside.She looked at MONISH as she spoke...) Ab main SHERGILL's mein work nahin karti...maine wahaan se Resign de diya hai...COLLEGE Library kuchh books issue karane gayi thi...Jab tak new Office join nahin karti...socha thodi study hi kar loon. Though she spoke casually, the hurt in her tone was not missed by MONISH...He asked her...
M - Tumne SHERGILL's se Resign de diya...? par,kyun...?? Kahin SAMRAT ne toh kuchh...
G - (said immediately) Nahin...nahin...unhone kuchh nahin kaha...woh,Actually...Mujhe koi Working Experiance nahin hai naa toh,iss wajah se main wahaan thik se kaam nahin kar paa rahi thi... Bas,issi wajah se mujhe Resign dena pada...aur koi baat nahin hai... Par,main koshish kar rahi hoon...jald hi sab kuchh sikh jaaoongi... Main koshish karoongi ki,New Job mein kisi ko mujhse koi shikayat nahin ho... (said very innocently...)
M - New Job...?? Kahaan...?
G - Yeh toh main nahin jaanti...RAHUL ne apne new Office mein baat ki hui hai...Mujhe zyada kuchh pata nahin... (nodded in negative,innocently) Toh,jab tak woh SINGAPORE se laut nahin aata..tab tak study ka time hai...taaki, ab new job mein koi problem na ho.
Her simplicity, her innocence floored MONISH ... Very rarely did anyone blame oneself for having to quit the Job. It was always the Management or the Boss who was responsible for the pink slip... but, here was someone who took all the blame. She had no complains against her employers...Ex-Employers to be precise... His mind was crowded with thoughts... (( I know GUNJAN...baat itni simple nahin hai jitna tum bata rahi ho...par,shayad tumhain complain karni hi nahin aati... Yehi wajah hai ki tumse har mulaqat ke baad main tumhein aur bhi zyada Pyar karne lagta hoon... Par,tumse keh nahin pata...Pata nahin kyun... Yeh Casanova MONiSH tumhaare saamne itna kamzor kyun pad jata hai...? Please,Mujhe maaf kar dena...main tumhein hurt nahin karna chahta... Lekin,Tumhaari 'Naa' bhi nahin sunn sakta... Iss liye ab jo kuchh karne ja raha hoon...Mujhe pata hai tumhein uss se takleef hogi...par,mera yakeen karo... Yeh takleef sirf kuchh dinon ki hai...sirf tab tak...jab tak hamari shaadi nahin ho jaati...uske baad 'Gham' kya hota hai... mehsoos karna toh door...tum kabhi soch bhi nahin paaogi... Lekin...Abhi jo karne ja raha hoon...woh meri majboori hai... Please,forgive me.))
He looked at her...each passing moment and he was falling deeply in love with her. Not only b'coz of her pretty yet simple looks but, b'coz of her nature, her clean and pure heart... her pure thoughts... and he knew, she was the only one for him. She did not notice MONISH staring at her. She was looking out of the window, enjoying the view outside. A slight drizzle was making the view even more beautiful ... a smile played on her pretty , pink lips. He brought himself of the trance as he said, in a calm and composed tone...
M - GUNJAN..!! Tumse kuchh kahoon...?
She turned to face him, the smile intact, her eyebrows raised as she asked him in her sweet voice... " Ji...?? Aap ko kuchh kehne ke liye permission lene ki zaroorat nahin..."
M - Thanx !! Woh...woh...Kya tum mujhe join karogi...?? Mujhe tumhari zaroorat hai... (The feelings that he had hidden in his heart were out at last.)
The smile vanished as GUNJAN heard these words. She could not understand the meaning of this sentence. She looked at MONISH, questions in her eyes as she worded them... "Main kuchh samjhi nahin...?"
M - Oh...!! I mean...I mean ki,kya tum mera Office join karogi...?? Mujhe 1 P.A. ki bahot zaroorat hai...1 very hard working and intelligent person...just like U (smiled) Salary...,Jo tum chaho... (He sounded confident... this sentence and no way was she going to refuse him...)
GUNJAN was shocked... with the Job offer. So sudden... She kept looking at him, her eyes welled up with tears as she heard his last sentence... It reminded her of SAMRAT's harsh words for her and her Family Status... she quickly wiped her tears as she said... " MONiSH.. kya aapko bhi lagta hai ki, Main paisoon ke liye kuchh bhi kar sakti hoon... Agar Haan...toh main batana chahti hoon ki, Paise mere liye kabhi important nahin rahe...Maine kabhi bhi,kuchh bhi paison ke liye nahin kiya... (As she completed her sentenced, her voice choked and her eyes brimmed with tears again...)
MONISH realised his mistake as he saw tears in her eyes. He never could knowingly hurt his love... in a caring tone, he said... "I M so Sorry,GUNJAN...Mera yakeen karo...mera yeh matlab nahin tha...In fact,main aisa sapne mein bhi nahin soch sakta... Maine toh bas yun hi keh diya tha...Main tumhein janta hoon..Tumhaari Family ko apni Family manta hoon...Kya tumhein lagta hai main aisa kuchh soch sakta hoon...?? If,Yes...then Please forgive me.. next time aisa kuchh nahin kahoonga...
G - (wiped her tears and said softly) No...Please,Dont say Sorry for this...Woh bas waise hi...kuchh yaad aa gaya tha...Sorry ! shayad maine over-react kar diya... But,I really can't accept your offer.. agar RAHUL ne apne office mein baat nahin ki hoti toh main yeh Job zaroor karti...par,mera kahin aur join karna usse pasand nahin aayega... usse bahot bura lagega...
M - (smiled softly) Bas itni si baat...?? RAHUL toh 1 month ke baad aayega naa...tab tak toh tum aaram se iss Job ko accept kar sakti ho...aur tumne abhi kaha naa ki, tumhein Working Experience nahin hai toh iss job ko as a training count kar sakti ho... Mujhe help bhi mil jaayegi aur tumhein Working Experience bhi ho jaayega...
though she agreed with this,she was a bit skeptical about the whole thing...innocently she said... "Lekin..."
M - Koi lekin-wekin nahin... Don't worry ...main hoon naa...Tum mujh par trust kar sakti ho...
G - Nahin ,woh baat nahin hai...Actually,main Uncle-Aunty ki permission ke bina kuchh nahin karna chahti... aur,RAHUL bhi permission nahin dega... (said in very soft tone)
M - Don't worry...main khud Uncle-Aunty se baat karoonga...I don't think unhein koi problem hogi. Agar tumhein yeh Job aur mera Office comfortable lage toh tumhein kahin aur jaane ki zaroorat bhi nahin hai...main RAHUL ke aane par RAHUL se bhi baat karoonga,He cares U a lot so, I M sure woh kabhi tumhein mana nahin karega.
G - Haan...lekin...
M - (cuts quickly) Ab koi lekin-wekin nahin..Its Final...Tum kal se hi mera Office join kar rahi ho...Main abhi chal kar Uncle-Aunty se permission le leta hoon...woh mujhe kabhi mana nahin karenge..
G - Nahin,woh baat nahin...
M - Toh...?
G - Woh,actually...mere saare Documents aur Certificates ki original copy SHERGILL's mein hain... Unhone kaha hai ki,at least 1 week ka time lag jaayega usse issue karane mein...toh,mere paas toh abhi koi original certificates bhi nahin...phir main aapke office mein kya submit karoongi... (said very innocently)
MONISH smiled...she had not changed these 2 years... the innocence still prevailed... the same innocence that had attracted him to her. He said in a loving tone... " Oh...Toh tumhein lagta hai...Main tumse tumhaare Original certificates ki demand karoonga... (smiled) Come On GUNJAN... V know each other...woh mera apna Office hai...woh meri company hai...aur tum wahaan as a employee se zyada meri dost hogi...woh Office tumhaara bhi hai... Aur,waise bhi mujhe tumhaare talent yaa working capability par koi shaq nahin.So,chill...tumhaare certificates mere liye important nahin...Kaam tumhein karna hai, tumhaare certificates ko nahin....(smiled softly)
GUNJAN was surprised... MONISH was so simple...so down to earth... she thought as she looked at him...(( Kitne supportive aur kitne achhe insaan hain yeh... Kitne calm...kitne composed...Itne bade empire ke owner hone ke baad bhi zara bhi Ego nahin...koi 'Ghamand' nahin...very down to earth... Jab DELHi mein mili..toh inhein jaanti bhi nahin thi...par,phir bhi inhone meri kitni help ki..aur aaj yeh Job offer..?? He is such a nice guy...kitna pyar...kitni izzat dekar bat karte hain...Bilkul waise hi jaise DELHI mein the...Kuchh nahin badla...No wonder ki,Uncle-Aunty inhein itna kyun pasand karte hain... par,RAHUL..?? pata nahin woh inhein kyun pasand nahin karta... Uski problem toh mujhe samajh hi nahin aati...SAMRAT Sir ko na-pasand karne ki wajah toh samajh aati hai...par,itne simple aur Friendly nature ke insaan ko koi kaise na-pasand kar sakta hai...? Iss baar jab woh aayega toh usse samjhaoongi ki,Sabhi Rich person bure nahin hote... sabhi SAMRAT Sir ki tarah nahin hain jo,Middle Class person ki insult aur unke self respect ko hurt karne mein koi burai nahin samajhte...))
Smiling at MONISH, she looked away. MONISH was happy when he saw her smile. He knew that his plan was a sure success. SAMRAT would never refuse his proposal... his ambition to be successful would not let him. And with SAMRAT out of the way and RAHUL away... who would stop him from getting close to GUNJAN?? She would be his... and his life would be perfect with GUNJAN. His thoughts about his life with GUNJAN were rudely broken when his cell buzzed. MONISH received the call... from his office. After speaking to the person at the other end, he disconnected the call and looked at GUNJAN. She had kept her head on the rim of the window and was looking out... softly, so as not to startle her as he broke her trance, he said...
M - Woh...Office se call tha...Agar tmhaare paas thoda time hai...toh kya hum Office chal sakte hain...?? Sirf 10 min. ka work hai...Kuchh important papers sign karne hain... I promise sirf 10 min. Please... (He was pleading with her as he spoke.)
G - Oh sure...! Aur Please aapko mujhse request karne ki zaroorat nahin...In fact,Aap mujhe yahin par drop kar den...main corner se Taxi le kar chali jaaoongi...Aap waise bhi bewajah hi takleef kar rahe hain...
M - No...Its not possible...Ok..agar tumhaare paas time nahin hai toh Its ok...Hum pehle tumhaare ghar chalte hain...baaki kaam baad mein... Uncle-Aunty se permission leni bhi toh zaroori hai... (said with smiling face)
G - (she said quickly) No...No...mera woh matlab nahin tha...I know aapka work zyada zaroori hai..maine abhi aapki Phone par convo. suni hai... Main really aapko pareshan karna nahin chahti thi...iss liye kaha...But,Its ok...Hum pehle aapke office hi chalte hain...Mujhe koi jaldi nahin... She spoke in her normal tone, which managed to camouflage her nervousness...
M - (smiled) Thanx a lot. Happily he instructed the driver... Driver Car ko Office ke direction mein lo...
Nodding a YES, his driver took a 'U' turn as the car raced towards MONISH's office. As an after thought, MONISH hurriedly typed an SMS on his cell and sent It. A few seconds later, he received an SMS... and he smiled. He looked at GUNJAN... she was looking out...
He kept his cell in his pocket and started a conversation with GUNJAN... MONISH knew GUNJAN spoke very little, but to hear her sweet, melodious voice, he was willing to do all it takes to make her feel comfortable with him and start speaking...
