Chapter 49
Indira lunch ke bad officeme aakar apna kam karne lagti hain par usse bar bar Aayeshaki harkate yad aati hain. Wo apne soch me kho jati hain. Radha uske paas aakar usse awaj lagati hain par wo usse kuch response nahi deti. At last Radha usse hilati hain,"Kya hua Indira? Kaha kho gayi ho itna?"
Indira : Kuch nahi...kuch bhi toh nahi. Wo bas aisehi Rishi...
Radha : Oh achha...apne saiyaa ke bareme soch rahi thi. Sorry haa maine disturb kar diya...
Indira : Aisa kuch nahi hain Radha. Ab batao kyu bula rahi thi? Radha usse kuch files deti hain aur dono files pe kuch discuss karte hain. Toh pakka raha radha humare plan ke mutabik hum ye order agle do haftonme complete kar denge. Done?
Radha : Haa done. Waise Indira agle haftese yad aaya, tumne Jiju ke liye gift liya?
Indira : Gift? Kaisa gift? Radha uske taraf disbelievely dekhke, "Kis baat ka gift? Indira tum itni important baat kaise bhul sakti ho?" Indira confusingly uske taraf dekhti hain, "Konsi baat Radha, thikse batana". Radha uske sar par marti hain,"Uff oh... are Indira agle hafte tumhari first wedding anniversary hain aur itni badi baat tum bhul gayi? Tumhari shadi ko ek saal pura ho gaya Indira". Indira jerkse uske taraf dekhti hain. "Kya hua madam yakin nahi ho raha? Par yahi sach hain". Indirako Radha ki baat bar bar kanome sunai deti hain. Wo apne kan band karti hain, "Yeh...yeh sab..." usse realise hota hain ki ab uske married life ke kuch hi din bache hain. Wo jaldise ghar aakar seedha apne room me aati hain aur lockerse contract paper nikalti hain. Wo dheerese papers pe hath ghumati hain, "Ye...ye sab kya honewala hain? Ye sab hona jaruri hain? Kya sach me humari shadi tut jayegi? Me in sabse dur chali jaungi? Sameer bhaiya, Priya didi, Payal, Mummyji, Papaji, Dadi aur Rishi...Rishi se bhi dur..." uski aankhome pani aata hain. Wo Rishi ke photose bat karti hain, "Yeh sab hona jaruri hain Rishi? Kya hum humesha ke liye saath nahi reh sakte? Main...main janti hu ki humne ye paper pure hosh-o-hawaaz me banaye the aur ispe sign kiye the, par...par ab mujhe yeh rishta aise nahi todna hain. Me tumse pyar karne lagi hu Rishi. Main...main nahi janti tum mere bareme kya sochte ho lekin main tumse bahot pyar karti hu. Tumhare bina ek pal bhi jeene ka nahi soch sakti hu. Tumhari aadat ho chuki hain mujhe. Me tumse kaise alag ho paungi Rishi? I can't do it. Me nahi kar paungi yeh sab" wo Photo ko hug karti hain, "Par...par yeh baat bhi toh sach hain na ki humne wo paper isliye sign kiye the kyun ki hum iss pyar, shadi ke chakkarme nahi padna chahte the. Ab iss pure ek saal me mujhe tumse pyar hua hain par jaruri nahi ki tumhe bhi mujhse pyar hona chahiye. Me tumse pyar karneki jabardasti bhi nahi kar sakti". Wo ek bar contract papers ko dekhti hain, "Ye jo papers tumne aur maine milkar sign kiye hain na toh me ab aise peeche nahi hat sakti. Me iss contract ko jarur nibhaungi. Mana ki ye bahot mushkil hain par ab mere pass aur koi option bhi to nahi hain". Wo aankhe pochti hain, "Kitni ajib baat hain na Rishi, contract sign karte waqt maine socha bhi nahi tha ki mujhe tumse pyar ho jayega par ab mujhe mere feelings pe kabu rakhnahi hoga. Mujhe tumse alag honahi padega aur yahi sahi hain. Mujhe ab in sabse alag hone ke liye apne aap ko taiyar karna hoga aur specially Rishiko...
Next day, At morning,
Rishi humeshaki tarah Indirako bulata hain par wo nahi aati. Rishi uthkar neeche aata hain, "Maa Indira kaha hain?"
Simmi : Wo bachhonke room me hain. Rishi bachhonke room me aata hain. Indira dono ko ready kar rahi thi. "Indira tum yaha ho aur me tumhe pure ghar me dhundh raha tha". Indira apna kam continue karke, "Kyun? Kya baat hain?"
Rishi : Baat...baat toh kuch nahi hain. Wo me utha aur tumhe awaj lagayi par tumne kuch bhi jawab nahi diya toh bas isliye...
Indira : Hmmm ok. Ab jao jaldise ready ho jao. Wo Deepikaki choti bandhane lagti hain, "Aao munni me aapke baal bana deti hu". Rishi Indiraki harkatonse bahot ajib lagta hain. Wo nahane ke liye jata hain par as usual apna towel bhul jata hain. Wo wapas Indirako bulata hain par iss bar bhi wo nahi aati. Rishi iss batse bahot confused hota hain.
At Indira's office,
Indirake laptop me kuch problem aata hain. Radha uske pass aati hain, "Kya hua Indira? Aisi kyun bethi ho?" Indira disturb hokar, "Dekhna Radha iss laptop ko abhi kharab hona tha. Meri sari important documents hain isme". Radha bhi laptop ko dekhti hain par usse bhi kuch nahi ho pata. "Ye to nahi ho raha hain, Pawan bhi nahi hain, ab kya kare?"
Indira : Pata nahi kya hoga? Ek bar wapas try karti hu" par usse nahi ho pata. Radha usse Rishise puchne ke liye kehti hain par Indira iss batpe hyper hoti hain, "Nahi me usse kyun puchu? Kya wo humesha thodi mere problems solve karne aayega. Shadise pehle bhi yeh sab me apne aapse sambhalti thi na toh ab aisa kya hua hain jo me nahi kar paungi? Me pehle bhi khudke problems khud solve karti thi aur aaj bhi me hi karungi". Wo wapas try karti hain. Bahot bar try karne ke bad uska laptop shuru hota hain. Lekin usse der hoti hain.
Radha : Indira rat ke 9.30 baje hain, ab tak kam pura nahi hua?
Indira : Nahi hua, lagta hain aur aadha ghanta lagega. Tum jao Radha mujhe late hoga.
Radha :Par tum itni raat aise akeli mat jana, Rishiji ko bula lena.
Indira : Kuch nahi hoga Radha. Me pehle bhi toh akeli der rat ko jati thi na toh ab bhi chali jaungi, bas farak sirf itnahi hain ki pehle Sharma Niwas me jati thi aur ab Diwan Mansion me jaungi.
Radha : Par Indira fir bhi Rishiko bula lena.
Indira : Ok baba, tum jao. Wo ek bar time dekhti hain aur wapas kam karne lagti hain. Usse sara kam khatam karneme bahot time hain.
Diwan Mansion
Puri family Indirake bareme soch soch kar hairan hoti hain.
Dadi : Simmi tumne Indirako phone kiya? Usne subah tumhe kuch bataya tha kya ki wo kahi janewali hain?
Simmi : Nahi maaji, usne mujhe kuch nahi bataya aur uska phone bhi nahi lag raha. Pata nahi yeh Rishi bhi kaha reh gaya hain.
Shekhar : Ho sakta hain dono milkar kahi bahar gaye ho.
Simmi : Agar wo dono bahar jate toh jarur batakar jaate, Indira toh jarur batati. Wo itni irresponsible nahi hain. Suniye, aap please ek bar Indirake office jakar dekhiye na.
Shekhar : Haan thik hain. Me abhi jata hu. Ussi time gadi ki awaj aati hain. Simmi bhag kar darwajeme aati hain, "Rishi aaya hain aur Indira bhi hain saath me". INSHI andar aate hain. "Kaha the tum dono? Indira beta tumne aaj kuch bataya bhi nahi aur tumhara phone bhi nahi lag raha tha". Indira ek bar Rishi ke taraf dekhta hain, Rishi turant apna muh turn karta hain. "Kya hua? Tum dono aise chup kyun ho? Batao Indira kya hua?"
Indira : Wo...wo...mummyji...wo abhi officese lautate waqt me...me...
Simmi : Kya hua beta? Sab thik toh hain na?
Indira : Haan...wo baat yeh hain ki me office se jab aa rahi thi tab raste me...
Rishi : Mom kuch nahi hua hain. Wo darsal Indira jab aa rahi thi tab me usse raasteme mil gaya aur fir me hi usse lekar bahar ghumane le gaya tha isliye hume late ho gaya. Indira uske taraf dekhti hain.
Simmi : Oh achha par beta ek phone toh kar dete.
Rishi : Mom wo hum donoke phone ki battery discharge ho gayi thi isliye phone nahi kar paye.
Shekhar : Dekha Simmi aur tum khamkha pareshaan ho rahi thi. Chalo jao ab tum dono jakar fresh ho jao. Aayiye maa aap bhi so jayiye bahot raat ho chuki hain aur sab apne room me jate hain.
At INSHI's room
Indira : Rishi wo...I...I am sorry. Please aise chup mat raho...kuch toh bolo na...
Rishi : Kya bolu me batao Indira? Tumne kuch chhoda hain kuch bolne ke liye? Me abhi tak tumhe bahot samajdar samaj raha tha par me galat tha. I was wrong. Tum...tum aise kaise kar sakti ho? Agar me waha time pe nahi aata toh socha hain wo ladke... wo ladke kya karte... aur wo apni aankhe disturb hokar band karta hain.
Indira : I am sorry...I am really very sorry Rishi.
Rishi : Agar tumhe der honewali thi toh ek bar phone toh kar sakti thi na tum. Radhika ka shukar hain ki usne mujhe phone karke bataya tha ki tumhe der hogi aur me tumhe lene jau isliye me waha aaya tha.
Indira : Haan memanti hu meri galti hain par maine socha tha ki pehlebhi me chandani chawk me akelehi jati thi toh ab bhi...
Rishi : Come on Indira, tumhare officese chandani chawk bahot pass hain aur agar tumhe mujhse problem thi toh bata deti dad ya fir bhaiya ya fir driver toh gadi lekar aahi jata tumhe lene. Waise bhi me subah se dekh raha hu tum mujhse seedha muh baat tak nahi kar rahi ho. Pata nahi kya hua hain tumhe. Ab toh batao kya hua hain tumhe Indira? kyun kar rahi ho ye sab? Bolo Indira kya hua hain?
Indira : Me yeh sab isliye kar rahi hu kyunki me nahi chahti ki hum dono itna jyada involve ho ek dusre me.
Rishi : Matlab?
Indira : Rishi, mujhe nahi pata tumne yeh bat realise ki hain ya nahi par hum dono ek dusrepe bahot depend ho chuke hain. Ek kam aisa nahi hain Rishi, jaha hume ek dusreki jarurat nahi lagti. Me iss shadike pehle khudke kam ke liye kisipe bhi depend nahi hoti thi par ab, ab mujhe chhote chhote kam me tumhari jarurat lagne lagi hain. Hume ek dusre ki aadat ho chuki hain Rishi. Agar hum aisehi ek dusrepe depend ho gaye to hum dono kabhi alag nahi ho payenge. Ab kuchi dinome humara contract khatam honewala hain aur isliye me chahti hu ki ab hume ek dusrese duri bana leni chahiye taki jab hum alag ho jaye tab aaramse apni jindagi ek dusreke bina jee sake. wo apni aankhe pochti hain. Me nahi janti ki tumhare dilme mere liye kya feelings hain lekin ab mujhe tumhare saath ki aadat hone lagi hain, aur agar hum alag huye to mere liye aise akele jeena mushkil ho jayega isliye tumhe ye achha lage ya bura lekin ab me tumse aur attatched nahi hona chahti. Kisi bhi tarahse... wo turant washroom me jati hain aur bahot roti hain.
Rishi Indiraki bate sunkar bahot disturb hota hain. Wo contract ke papers nikalta hain aur ek bar papers padhta hain. "Me janta hu ki iss contract ke mutabik hume alag hona hain...par...par pata nahi kyun mujhe ye baat soch kar bahot taklif ho rahi hain Indira. Par tum chahti ho na ki hum dono ek dusrese jyada attatch na ho toh thik hain, tum sahi ho Indira. Me bhi ab tumhara sath dunga."
Indira washroomse change karke aati hain. Rishi bhi change karta hain aur dono bina kuch bole so jate hain par dono so nahi pate aur puri rat sirf unke future ke bareme sochte hain.
Next Day
Indirake phone ka alarm bajta hain. Indira uthkar alarm band karti hain, Rishi bhi Indirake taraf dekhta hain par turant uth kar balconyme jata hain aur Indira fresh hone jati hain. Indira ready ho kar balconyme aati hain. "Wo...wo Rishi me...me yeh kehna chahti hu ki neeche...
Rishi : Me janta hu Indira neeche hume normal rehna hain aur me tumhe support karne ke liye taiyar hu aur wo fresh hone jata hain. Dono ready hokar neeche b'fast karne aate hain.
Simmi : Rishi tum itne jaldi ready ho gaye?
Rishi : Haan mom, wo office ka kuch kam karna hai. Sab log b'fast karne lagte hain par puri rat achhese nahi soneke wajahse INSHI yawn karte hain.
Sameer : Kya baat hain bhai neend puri nahi hui kya dono ki?
Rishi : Aapko kaise pata bhai? Sab log haste hain. Mera matlab tha ki nahi aisi koi baat nahi hain.
Priya : Kya Indira kal tumhe kisine sone nahi diya? Wo Rishike taraf dekhti hain. INSHI ek dusre ke taraf dekhte hain.
Indira : Nahi didi aisi koi baat nahi hain.
Simmi : Uff oh mat satao un donoko, nashta karo sab.
Payal : Waise bhai agle hafte ka kya plan hain? Bhabhiko gift kya denewale ho?
Rishi : Gift?
Payal : Lo ji yeh to bhul gaye hain. Are mere pyare bhaiya agle hafte aapki wedding anniversary hain.
Sameer : Are haan, yeh baat toh mere dimagse chali gayi thi. Toh ab hume party ki planning karni chahiye aur sab except INSHI planning karte hain.
At Sameer's Room
Priya balconyme kuch soch rahi thi. Sameer usse peechese hug karta hain, "Kya hua jaan kya soch rahi ho?"
Priya : Pata nahi Sameer par mujhe bahot ajib lag raha hain, aisa lag raha hain ki bahot bada kuch honewala hain.
Sameer : Haan toh honewali hain na party.
Priya : Nahi Sameer, party toh hain hi par usse bhi jyada kuch honewala hain aur pata nahi par mujhe aisa lag raha hain ki ussi din kuch hoga. Waise aapne ek baat notice ki neeche hum sab partyki planning kar rahe the par Rishi aur Indira kuch bhi nahi bol rahe the. Donoke chehrepe ajibsi mayusi thi. Kahi firse undonome jhagda toh...
Sameer : Are nahi...nahi aisi kuch khas baat nahi hogi. Tum khmkha itna soch rahi ho.
Priya : Par...
Sameer : Uff oh Priya yaha me tumse baat karne aaya hu aur tum ho ki sirf apne dewar dewaranike bareme soch rahi ho, patiki toh chintahi nahi hain tumhe.
Priya : Awww mere hubby naraj ho gaye. Sameer hasta hain aur dono hug karte hain.
