Chapter 9
Aarti: maa kaisa faisla
Maa: guddan ab is ghar main nahi rahegi.
All are shocked and guddan says par maa kyun.
Maa: bahut pareshan ho lee meri bachi magar ab aur nahi.
Akshat is sweating. He touches his forehead and thinks what is happening to me.
Nimisha: ye aap kya keh rahi hain maa. Aap didi ko aise kaise nikal sakte ho. Hum sab didi k bina kya karenge.
Maa: bas mujhe kisi ki koi baat nahi sunni. Mera faisla nahi badalega. Bhushan ji ko maine phone kardiya hai wo aa rahe hain guddan ko lene.
Tears drop from guddan's eyes and maa goes to wipe them.
Maa: na bache rote nahi hain. Main jo keh rahi hun tere bhale k liye keh rahi hun. Aur konsa tujhe hamesha k liye jaana hai bas ek hafte ki baat hai. Tu ek hafte apne papa k saath rahegi.
Akshat let out his breath which he was holding unknowingly since long.
Angad: maa aapne to hume dara he diya tha.
Maa: tum logon ko kya laga main apni guddan k bina reh sakti hun.
Guddan: par maa is ki kya zaroorat hai.
Maa: zaroorat kaise nahi hai. Ek saal hogayi teri shaadi ko aur tu apne maayke kabhi gayi he nahi. Jab bhi jaati thi shaam ko waapas aa jati thi. Lekin ab to koi bahana nahi hai. Pehle teri university thi wahan ka kaam tha to Tu raat ko maayke main nai rehti lekin ab koi masla nahi hai. Thoda tera environment b change hojayega.
Guddan: maa jaise aapko sahi lage.
Akshat was shocked by guddan's yes. Reason of his shock still Unknown to him. And maa leaves the room.
Aarti: sits next to guddan on bed. Bhabhi aapko acha nahi lagta yahan jo aapne maa ki baat maan lee.
Guddan: cups her face. Nahi buddhu aisi baat nahi hai lekin maa ko mana nahi kar payi. Nimi aur angad tum log mujhe aise kyun dekh rahe ho.
Angad: bhabhi samajhne ki koshish kar raha hun ki maa ne aisa kyun kiya.
Guddan: baitho main batati hun. Dekho maa ko galat mat samjhna. Wo waise bhi kisi baat ko leke pareshaan hai unka chehra bata raha tha.
Aarti: interuppts her in between and blurts out haan wo is liye kyunki akshat bhai ne unhe bataya ki unko apni anniversary yaad nahi thi.
Guddan: kya and looks at akshat in A dejected way.
Nimi and Angad: aaru tere paet main koi baat nahi rehti hai.
Aaru: acha sorry lekin guddan bhabhi aap kya kehna chahte ho maa aapko isi liye ghar bhej rahi hain kyunki bhai ko anniversary yaad nahi thi.
Guddan: nahi bilkul nahi. Maa ne sahi kaha na environment change. Thak gayi hun aaru bahut zyada ab. Thoda mummy papa k saath rahungi to unhe acha lagega aur mera b mann behel jaayega. Chutki k saath baat kiye hue to jaise bahut waqt beet ga ya hai. Aur main to waapas aarahi hun na ek hafte main ya maybe 2.
Akshat: what 2 hafte.
All turn towards AJ.
AJ: mera matlab hai maa ne to ek hafta bola tha.
Nimi: chalo sab log didi rest karegi and winks at angad.
All of them leave leaving Akshan alone.
Guddan: agar kisiko khushi nai de sakte hain to takleef b mat diya kijiye. Kya zaroorat thi maa se kehne ki sab. Kitni pareshaan hogayi hain wo. Thoda sa jhoot bol dete ya baat taal dete to kuch nai hojata.
Saying this she gets up from the bed to pack her clothes but twists her foot and AJ catches her in the Nick of time. They share an eyelock and Akshat notices she has become pale and still has fever. Revti comes to their room and knocks their door which is open.
Revti: laughs jiju chaliye ab bahut hogaya laayi didi ko dijiye ab wo mere saath aayegi.
They straighten themselves and he makes her stand.
Revti: jiju mann nai kar raha hai didi se door rehne ka. Aadat nai haina aapko. Didi to hamesha aap he k paas rahi hai. Par aaj to main di ko leke he jaaungi. Haina di.
Guddan: haan.
Akshat: revti apni di ko dawaai time se dena aur khana b ache se khilana. Doctor ne kaha hai weak hogayi hai bahut.
Revti: ok. Aur kuch. Chalo main neeche jaa rahi hun aap dono bye bolo jaldi ek dusre ko.
Guddan: revti ruk zara ye mera bag b le ja apne saath.
Revti: dedo and leaves them alone.
Guddan: agar maa k saamne b aise he natak kar dete thoda sa jaise revti k saamne kiya to maa itni pareshaan nai hoti.
Akshat: Natak. Tumhe ye sab natak lagta hai.
Guddan: Mr. Jindal aapko to aadat nai haina meri itni parwah karne ki. Acha bataye kab aakhri baar aapne mujhse poocha tha "kaisi ho".
Akshat couldn't recollect and realised she was correct. Before he could answer she was gone.
Mannat Har Khushi Paane Ki
