Journey of Abhilasha---A LRL FF - Page 14

Shaad came with two cups of coffee and placed one on the table In front Of Asha.

Shaad: "Asha coffee"

Asha looked up to Shaad and nodded her head as if to say thank you. She placed the watch that was in her hand on the table and picked up the coffee. Holding the coffee in one hand she traced the top of the mug with her other hand as her mind went on wondering.

Shaad was just standing there and observing all that was happening in front of him. They had received the news that Naina's condition was better than before a couple of hours ago. They had decided to leave the hospital as visiting hours were coming to an end and there was no place for Asha and Shaad at the hospital. It was getting late so they decided to leave for KMA the next day and went to a nearby hotel.

As soon as they arrived in their room, Asha sat down on the couch and took out her watch. For hours Asha sat there staring at the watch and the handkerchief they had found at the hospital room. Shaad tried to get her attention but failed, so he decided to make some coffee to lift the energy present in the room.

He went and sat next to Asha and placed one hand on shoulder.

Asha: "Kya hua?" (What happened?)

Shaad: "Hum kab se dekh rahay hai, app issi ghadi ko dekh rahi hai. Kya has hai iss mein" (Iihave noticed for some time that you are looking at this watch. What is so special about it?)

Asha: "Khaas toh bohot hai. Yeah ek vaja ek karan jis kay vajay se mein jinda hoon. Maa kheti thi ki jab tak yeah ghadi hai tab yak papa ka saath hummaray saath hai. Bas yeahi ghadi ki karan mein ne aapney zindagi ka maksaad papa ko dhoona bana diya, warna yeah khali zindagi jeetay jeetay mein kab kay maar chuki hogi" (Iit is very special. This is the reason and the perpose I am alive. Maa used to say that as long as there is this watch papa is with us. With this watch, I made it my mission to find papa, otherwise I would have ded long time ago from living this empty life.)

Asha had gotton sad and Ahaad didn't like that, so he changed the conversation.

Shaad: "kya KMA se kissi ne call kiya?" (Did anyone called from KMA.)

Asha: "Pata nahi, meri phone mera paas nahi hai" (I don't know I have my phone.)

Shaad: "Toh aap phone kar ligiya. Woh waha parashan ho rahay hongey" (So you call them. They must be getting worried there)

Asha: "Aare haa. Mmein toh bhool hi gayi" (h yes. I forgot)

With that Asha got up and headed towards the landline to call those at KMA.

******AT KMA*****

All were at the Mess having a discussing when someone entered the mess. He pulled down his hat and touched his mustache and entered the mess. He saw that everyone was together and there was an atmosphere of love, which he hated. His biggest pet peeve was love, or he believed love was a men's biggest weakness.

The man: "KMA ki atmosphere aaj bhi waisay hi hai jaisay kuch 20 saal pehley thi. Aur iss baar bhi mein iss pyaar ko thord dunga"" (KMA's atmosphere still the same as it was about 20 years ago. And I will break this loving atmosphere this time as well)

Everyone looked up at the door to see Col. Bhargav standing there. Everyone in the Mess stood up immediately.

Vijay to Ridhi: "Aaray yeah tom and jerry yaha..."( What is this tom and jerry doing here?)

Bhargav walked up to the table there the our cadets and Priyanka were.

Bhargav: "Cadet Huda kya aapko kuch kehna hai," (Cadet Huda, do you have anything to say)

Vijay: "No sir"

Bhargav: "Aur kuch keahnea ko hona bhi nahi chaiea. Meh ray baray mein toh tumharay papa neah bata diya hoga. Toh mujhe yeah bata ne ki jarurut nnahi hai ki mujhe kya pasand hai aur kkya nahu. Right" (And you should not have anything to say. You father must have told you about me so I should not have to tell you what I like and what I do not. Right?)

Vijay: "Yes sir"

Bhargav: "Dissmiss"

Quickly and effectively the cadets scrammed out of the mess while Bhargav stood there as he pulled down his hat.

They were walking down the hallway when Priyanka's phone rang. Hearing that all the cadets stopped on their tracks. Priyanka took out her phone and picked it up. (Phone convo between Priyanka and Asha)

Priyanka: "hello"

Asha: "Hello di"

Priyanka: "Asha, kaha thi tu? Pata hai yaha par sab kitney parashan hoo rahay hai yaha? Aur maa kaisey hai? Unki tabiet toh ab theek hai na?" (Asha where were you? Do you know how worried we all were getting? And how is mother? Is she feeling better?)

Asha with a smile laugh: "Di kitney sawal karti hoo. Aacha theek hai mein sab jawab deti hoo. Mein aapna phone KMA hi chord aayi aur Shaad kay phone ka battery down ho gaya." (Di, how many question can you ask? Ok I will answer all of them. Ii let my phone at KMA and Shaad's phone ran out of charge.)

Priyanka: "Aur maa"

Asha: "Yehi toh khush khabari hai." (That is the happy news)

Priyanka: "Matlab"

Asha: "Doctors keah rahay hai ki maa ki condition pehley se better hai. Woh ab bohot jald theek hongi." (The doctors are saying that mom's condition is better then before. She will get better very soon)

Priyanka wipes her tears of joy: "Asha yeah toh tu neh bohot aache baat batiyae hai" (Asha, you have given such a good news)

Asha: "Di, abhi aur bhi good news baki hai" (Di, there are more good news)

Priyanka: Woh kya?

Asha: "Phone par nahi bata Shakti. KMA aa kar bataugee" (I can't say it over the phone. I will tell you once coming to KMA)

Priyanka: "Waisy tum aa kab aa rahay hoo?" (When will you be back?)

Asha: "Maa ki tabiat theek hai toh kaal tak aa jhaeage. Kyu koi problem hai kya?" (Science maa's condition is better we will return tomorrow. Why is there any problem?)

Priyanka: "Problem to hain" (There actually is a problem.")

Asha: "Matlab"

Priyanka: "Col. Bhargav yaha hai" (Col. Bhargav is here)

Asha: "What? Magar woh toh kuch din baad aanay walay thay" (What? But he was going to come a few days later)

Priyanka: "Magar tum hai toh pata hai na ki ussay tih surprise denay ka shook hai" (But you know he like to surprise people")

Asha: "More like Shock. Anyways see you soon"

Asha cut the call and turned around to see Shaad standing there on the doorway.

Asha: "Aarey Shaad"

Shaad: "Haan who hum yeah keah ney aaya thay ki khaana ready hai" (Yeah, I came to inform you that the food is ready)

The next morning they were sitting on the couch having their breakfast. They had just returned from the hospital after seeing Naina.

Shaad: "Asha, aaj hum bohot khush hai" (Asha, I am very happy today.)

Asha: "Aacha kyu" (Why?)

Shaad: "Hum ne jis kay bara mein itna suna tha. Hum jin ney itnay maantay hai, unsey mil kar bohot khushi ho rahi hain" (Meeting the person I have heard about and the person I respect has really made me happy)

Asha: "Khush toh mein bhi hoon, yeah jaan kar ki papa zindi hai. Pehley toh mujhe srif doubt tha, magar ab koi doubt nahi hai." (I am also very happy, because I know my father is alive.I had just doubt it before, but now there is no doubt.)

Shaad: "Waisay aap ko kya lagta hai. Rajveer sir kyu is tara chupay hongay" (Wat do you thing? Why is Rajveer sir hiding like this?)

Asha: "Kyu ki woh selfless hai. Woh jantay hai ki agar kissi ko bhi yeah pata chala ki woh zinda hai toh wo secrete organization walay jis ko bhi pata hai uss koi maar dengay. Aur papa aapney Cadets aur Cadet Naina ah' Singh ko baachnay kay liya kuch bhi kar shaktay hai. Kuch bhi" (Because he is selfless. He knows that if anyone finds out he is alive then the secrete organization people will kill all those who know. And papa can do anything to protect his Cadets and his Cadet Niana ah' Singh.)

Asha: "Chaltay hai. Wai say bhi agar KMA lootney mein dher ho gayi to Bhargav aur Nair maar dengay" (Let's go. If we reach KMA late then Nair and Bhargav will kill us)

Next chapter---- ALEKH'S ENTRY, AND BHARGAV'S DRAMA.

A very happy new years to all. I wish and hope that this coming year brings love, growth, prosperity, love, and happiness to all.

I am extremely sorry that I could not ud when I said I would, but like I mentioned I have some family matter going on right now, plus I made some New Year commitment and did not expect that to come in the way of IF. I need to prioritize and put what is most important meet at the top, which in this case is my family.

Ii understand you all feeling. I know what it is like when someone does not ud in a long time or leaves a book incomplete, but I want to assure you all that I will try to be as constant as possible but there are going to be situation that arise all of a sudden and I have no control over it like my family problem.

Thank you and happy new year to IF
