Story further…..
Next morning…
Teeno ab tak soye hote hai… Achanak kuch girne ki awaaz aati hai to Ayaan ekdum se uthta hai… saamne dekhta hai to Arzoo aur Kaynaat so rahe hote hai.. Wo khidki se bahar dekhta hai to dheemi dheemi barish ho rahi hoti hai ,per unke ghar ke saamne ek ped (tree) gira hua hota hai… Tabhi darwaze pe koi aata hai, Ayaan dekhta hai to wahi aadmi hota hai jo kal raat unhe waha rehne ke liye kehta hai..
Man: chai (tea) laaya hu
Ayaan: ji rakh dijiye…
{wo aadmi ander aata hai, aur tab tak Kaynaat bhi uth jaati hai}
Ayaan: yeh ped kal raat to yaha nahi tha
Man: ji.., yeh kuch der pehle hi gira hai.. Subha bahot tez barish hui thi… ab yaha to yeh aam baat hai.. main aata hu
{And that man leaves… Ayaan palatta hai to Kaynaat ko dekhta hai.. Kaynaat just smiles at him}
Ayaan: kuch der mein hume yaha se nikalna hoga..
Kaynaat: wo hum, keh rahe the, ki ab to hum kaafi dur aaye hai to ab hume yaha se koi bus bhi mil sakti hai Shimla ke liye…
Ayaan: mil to sakti hai.. per filhaal hume yaha se nikalna hoga…
Kaynaat: ji…
{kaynaat uththi hai aur bahar jaati hai… Ayaan ki nazar bas usi per hoti hai.. Bahar ek tap hota hai wo waha jaati hai aur apna face dhoti hai… hawase uski zulfein uske chehre per aati hai… Ayaan ki nazar usse hataye nahi hatti… Kaynaat use kisi pari se kam nahi lagti, aur sabse jyada jo Ayaan ko usmein pasand tha to wo thi Kaynaat ki masumiyat aur uski muskurahat… Phir achanak kaynaat ki nazar Ayaan pe jaati hai aur ayaan jhat se palatta hai, to Arzoo ko saamne paata hai}
Arzoo: yeh baaji kaha hai?
{kaynaat enters in}
Ayaan: wo rahi
Arzoo: baaji…
Kaynaat: tum haath mu dho aao main chai nikalti hu
Arzoo: ji , bas abhi aayi
{kaynaat waah rakhe teapot ko ekdum uthati hai, jo ki bahot garam hota hai}
Kaynaat: oouuccch..!!!
{ayaan jhat se uske paas aata hai}
Ayaan: tum rehne do, main nikalta hu
{and ayaan serves her tea}
Kaynaat: shukriya…, per aap hamara kitna aur kab tak khyaal rakhenge?
Ayaan: jab tak hum saath hai
Kaynaat: {to herself} kaash yeh saath u hi barkaraar rahe…
{phir kuch der baad wo log waha se nikalte hai…. Unka safar bahot lamba tha, unhe bahot takleefo ka saamna karna pada… kabhi tez barish to kabhi zameen ka dhasna {land slides} to kabhi kuch…. Per in sabke bawaajood, wo log aakhir kuch 5-6 din baad Shimla pohoch jaate hai… Ayaan unhe uske ghar le aata hai. Yeh ghar uske maa baba ka tha jo ab iss duniya mein nahi the. Iss ghar ki dekhrekh Ayaan ki dayijaan karte the. Ayaan ke liye wahi uske maa baba the…
Yeh ghar purane haveli jaisa hota hai.
Jaise hi Ayaan darwaze pe aata hai Dayijaan use dekhkar hairaan hote hai..
Ayaan: as salaam alaikum dayijaan
Dayijaan: {with the same surprise look} Walaikum as salaam, Ayaan bachche tu achanak…????
Ayaan: {hugs her} kaise hai aap?
Dayijaan: main to thik hu, per yeh haath per kya hua? Zakhm kaisa?
{kaynaat aur arzoo wahi darwaze per khade the}
Ayaan: kuch nahi, {to kaynaat & arzoo} are aap dono ander aao na.. Dayijaan yeh Kaynaat hai, aur yeh inki choti behen Arzoo… yeh kuch din yehi rahenge
Dayijaan: Mashallah kitni pyaari bachchiya hai…, aao bete yaha baitho…
{they come and sit beside her}
Dayijaan: Rehaan kaisa hai? Wo saath nahi aaya?
Ayaan: nahi, darhesal dayijaan Kashmir ke halaat kuch thik nahi hai iss waqt…
Dayijaan: matlab phir wahi tabahi ka manzar…
{ayaan ke haath se thoda khoon behene lagta hai}
Dayijaan: pehle tum mere saath chalo, tumhari patti badal deti hu… Aur tum dono iss ghar ko apna hi samajhna.. Wo waha uper wala karma aajse tumhara… jakar mu haath dho lo, tab tak maine tumhare liye khana le aati hu…
Kaynaat: ji…
{and both of them go their room, while dayijaan gets the first aid box for ayaan}
Dayijaan: kaun hai yeh Ayaan?
Ayaan:Kashmir mein kuch blasts hue aur shayad unhi blasts mien inke ma baba bhi…
Dayijaan: oh… to ab?
Ayaan: pata nahi, per kuch log hai jo inki jaan ke dushman ban baithe hai. {and he tells her the whole story}
Dayijaan: tumne acha kiya jo inhe yaha le aaya. Yeh yaha mehfooz rahenge
Ayaan: jaanta hu, per ab mujhe bhi jald se jald waha pohochna hoga, Rehaan waha akela hai aur phir pata nahi wo log kab kaha kya kar baithe…
Dayijaan: thik hai, per yeh chot kaise aayi?
Ayaan: wo to bas kaynaat ko bachate hue..
Dayijaan: {smiles} barso baad aaj tumhari aankho mien kuch dikha hai
Ayaan: main apne kamre mein jaa raha hu
{and he goes to his room as he wanted to avoid that topic}
Dayijaan: {to herself} jis ehsaas se tum bhaag rahe ho, aaj wahi uss ladki ke roop mein tumhare saamne khada hua hai Ayaan…
{after some time they have dinner and dayijaan and ayaan were sitting in ayaan's room and chatting while arzoo and kaynaat were in their room}
Arzoo: Ayaan ke dayijaan kitne ache hai na?
Kaynaat: ha…
Arzoo: kya baat haa baaji?
Kaynaat: soch rahe hai ki hum yaha tak aa to gaye per ab aage kya?
Arzoo: hmm.., ek wo zindagi thi, jaha hum apne khwaabo ko purane karne mein lage the, jante the ki hume kya karna, kya banna hai… aur ek yeh zindagi hai jaha hume yeh tak nahi pata ki kal kya hoga
{just than dayijaan comes to their room}
Dayijaan: kya baatein ho rahi hai?
Kaynaat: ji bas aise hi..
Dayijaan: mujhe Ayaan ne sab kuch bataya.. Fikr mat karo, jo hua use hum ab badal to nahi sakte, per ab se tum isi parivar ka hissa ho… Aajse tum meri bachchiya ho, kabhi apne aapko akela mehsoos mat karna…
{aur dayijaan pyarse unke sar se haath pherte hai}
Dayijaan: kaafi raat ho chuki hai ab tumso jao
Arzoo: ji…
{dayijaan goes to her room, and they too sleep peacefully after a very long time}
Next morning:
Kaynaat kafi jaldi uth jaati hai… wo uthti hai aur phir saamne khidki kholti hai…
Kaynaat: kitna acha mausam hai…
{waha halki se snowfall ho rahi hoti hai…
tabhi dayijaan unke liye coffee lekar aate hai}
Kaynaat: aapne takleef kyun ki?
Dayijaan: takleef kaisi? Lo abhi abhi banayi hai
Kaynaat: aise to aap hamari aadtein bigad denge..
{tabhi arzoo bhi uthti hai}
Arzoo: good morning baaji… {she didn't realize dayijaan was present there too}
Dayijaan: sirf apni baaji ko hi good morning?
Arzoo: aap? {smiles} good morning
Dayijaan: good morning, tum dono fresh hokar neeche aao, main naashta (breakfast) parosti (serves) hu
Kaynaat: ji…
{after a while they get ready…. Kaynaat neeche jaa rahi hoti hai per wo Ayaan ke kamre se guzarti hai, uske kamrei ka darwaza khula hota hai to kaynaat aage jati hai per phir peeche aati hai aur Ayaan ke kamrein mein jhaakti hai.. Ayaan wahi hota hai, wo apni bandage change karni ki koshish kar raha hota hai per kar nahi pata. Kaynaat yeh dekhke muskurati hai aur darwaze per knock karti hai}
Kaynaat: kya hum ander aa sakte hai?
Ayaan: tum, aao
Kaynaat: hum kuch madat kare?
Ayaan: nahi main kar lunga
Kaynaat: aapne hamare liye kitna kuch kiya hai, apke liye itna to kar sakte hai na please….
Ayaan: hmm…
{Kaynaat use ahista bandage lagati hai, Ayaan ki nazrein bas usi per hoti hai}
Kaynaat: aapse ek baat kahe?
Ayaan: hmm
Kaynaat: Dayijaan bahot ache hai… aur aap bhi. Humne aapko bahot galat samjha tha… infact kuch din pehle tak bhi hume lagta tha ki aap un logo jaise hi hai, per hum galat the. Aap jaisa insaan kabhi galat ho hi nahi sakta. Kal to aap hamare liye anjaan the, per shayad aaj….. {she smiles and turns the other way}
Kaynaat: dayijaan naashte per intezar kar rahe
{saying this she goes out of the room}
Ayaan: nahi kaynaat, maine pehle bhi apni zindagi ki sabse keemti shaks ko kho chukka hu ab dubara mujh mein wo himaat nahi hai….. nahi hai……… {Closes his eyes and a tear rolls down his cheek}
