Short Seventeen
She ran taking the kid in her hand to the play area, in between a lot of children and teachers, away from him or his voice, away from even a glance of him. She knew that the playroom is a place where he won't be able to get her attention and stop running after her. At least the great Omkara Singh Oberoi, the favourite brother of Shivaay Singh Oberoi, would not make himself a joke between kids and teachers, will he? Off cource not and then she will get time to sneak inside her room and lock herself. She wanted to hide, enough so that he never gets a single glance of her.
He came running after her to his room after a while and was about to knock the door when he stopped himself thinking to give her the time she needed. Right now the most important thing was to give her space and he decided to wait until she comes out
Was it jealousy that kept disturbing her? Was she affected by seeing him with another woman? No.. not at all. Gauri, the girl, who gave her husband willingly to Swetlana, for the betterment of his family. The Gauri, who was ready to marry Ajay and the one who had given Omkara once; full freedom from their relationship; would never be jealous of him just dancing with any other girl. But what pricked her heart was the same face, the same voice, the same him coming over and over to her. Why is it needed when she had herself said that he should go? Why is he still after her? This was something she could never understand. But at least she knew where she would get the answers from. She immediately picked out a paper and a pen as soon as she entered her room and started scribbling
Mr Achintyah
Sir,
I still don't know if what I am doing is right or no, but I am in a need is of a friend. A friend who could understand me. A Friend who knows me. And here probably you only seem to be the one that I can trust with my closed eyes. Sorry if I am disturbing you.
Sir there is a friend of mine, who has a husband of hers. They both met and immediately married and started off with the relationship in a very rough phase. It was only the girl who agreed to marriage but the boy thought of a girl as a con and a cheating woman.
The girl decided to carry on her relationship even if the boy never accepted her. But fate made them best of friends somehow and again a cheater in the boys eyes was something the fate itself did. And even after a thousand of tries the girl gave, the boy never agreed to accept her as a pure soul. And one day after accepting her love for him, she left him and freed him from her and their relationship. But the boy did not lost hopes this time and came back to the girl as her same knight in the shining armour. And after a lot of struggle they came back together.
They lived happily and that's where she thought it was her heaven. But again the fate decided to ditch her. All of the family members and even the one she loved and accepted as her life started ignoring her as if she wasn't even there in their lives.
They stared hiding things and never paid attention to any of her wounds. But then being his wife she decided to still carry on. Still she started to serve him and his family and behave like a good daughter-in-aw and a good wife. I think this was not enough, she should have tried more. But she was broken, shattered, tired to give nay explanations to any one and ran away. She ran out of the lives of each and every person she had her heart for. And the same day she died. Not physically but emotionally. She is no more the same person people think she is.
And now after she thought she was successful in killing the feelings inside her. He came back. He says that he wants to take her back to the same place. He says that he wants to give their relationship one more chance. He says that he still loves her. And she is unable to kill those inner feelings. They are still there.
His every gaze brings back those memories. His every world brings back the moments they shared together. His every touch awakens the feelings she had deep buried inside her heart. She doesn't know what to do. She can't take it anymore. She is tired of everything.
Please help!!!
Regards
Gauri
A tear drop on the letter marked the end of the letter with a lot of cut marks over the word I' or me'. She folded it and called Mr Awasthi to take it. She knew she should have gone and given it herself; but right now she didn't had any courage to go and face him. She heard a knock on the door as she opened it finding Mr Awasthi right near it. She handed the letter to him. And as soon as he went she saw a tall frame sting down leaning against the wall with one leg spread and the other held to his chest. "Gauri his eyes met hers and locked together searching for something; maybe forgiveness'.
She immediately decided to shut the door, but before she could she found his leg in between the doo and the frame. "Aap pagal ho gaye hain kya? (Have you gone crazy)? she asked seeing his leg and had a thought of him being in pain. "Darwaza kholo Gauri (Open the door Gauri) was what she heard him say. And as the person she was she opened the gate, because she knew if she doesn't he will hurt himself even more. As soon as she opened the gate she ran aside the room in order to avoid him.
He came inside and clicked the door close. "Gauri, meri baat toh suno (Gauri, listen to me) he repeated the same thing back again.Kya sune hum Omkaraji. Kya sune? Agar aap hume yeh batane aae hain ki hume uss ladki se pareshaan hone ki koi zaroorat nahi hai, toh chod dijiye. Kyunki uss ladki, yaa duniya ki kisi bhi ladki se hum kabhi pareshaan nahi honge. Aur agar aap ko yaad ho, toh vo aap the jisne Swetalana se shaadi karne ka decision liya tha. Aur hum tab bhi vahin the. (What should I listen to Omkaraji? If you are here to tell me that I have to not to worry about that girl, then leave it. Because she or any other girl for that matter won't be a reason for my worries. And if you remember it then it was you who wanted to marry Swelana and when I was still there.) the words caught him as he held his eyes lower. "Rehne dijiye Omkaraji (leave it Omkaraji) she said and started walking.
Suddenly she felt someone holding her hands "Main tumhe kisi ladki ke bare mein kuch samjhane nahi aaya tha (I didn't come to explain you about any girl) he said moving towards her holding her arms out and pressing his chest to her back. "Pata tha mujhe, ki jo vishwaas meri Gauri mujhpe karti hai, voh itna kamzoor nahi hai ki itni jaldi dagmaga jaaye. Pata tha mujhe ki tumhe koi farak nahi padega. (I knew that the kind of trust my Gauri is not that weak. I knew you won't be affected) he whispered in her ears.
"Aap kuch zyada hi nahi soch rahe (aren't you thinking way too much?) his eyebrows joined together in confusion. "Mujhe farak iss liye nahi padta kyunki mujhe aap par vishwaas hai. Mujhe farsk iss liye nahi padta kyunki farak usse padta hai jo aap ka apna ho. Hum naa toh voh Gauri hain aur naa aap humare liye humare voh Omkaraji. Aur ek ajnabee ke kuch bhi karne yaa kehne se hume koi farak nahi padta. Hum aapki voh bewakoof aur voh bachkana harkatein karne waali Gauri nahi hain ab. Toh behtar hoga ki aa yahan se chale jaiye (This reaction is not because I trust you. This reaction is because you get affected only by the actions of your closed ones. Nor I am that Gauri and neither are you my Omkaraji. And I don't get affected by the deeds of any stranger. I am not that stupid and childish Gauri. So it will be better if you would go) she pointed towards the door.
"Chala jaun? Eise hi chala jaun, bina tumhe liye? Aur tumhe lagta hai yeh aasaan hoga mere liye? (Go away? Go away without you? And you think this will be easy for me) he left her arm and came in front. "Meri aaknon mei dekho aur bolo ki tumhe mujhpe bahroa nahi hai. Dehko meri aakhon mein aur bolo kit um meri Gauri ahi ho (Look into my eyes and tell me that you don't trust me. Look into my eyes and tell me that you are not my Gauri) her eyes shifted to match his.
"Nahi hain hum aapki Gauri. Aapki Gauri ussi din mar gayi thi jis din humne Manali ki train pakdi thi. Maar ke aayen hain hum uss Gauri ko usi sheher mein jahan iss prem kahani ko ek mauka dene ka socha tha uss Gauri nein pehli baar. Jahan voh yeh sochke aayi thi ki ek nayi zindagi shuru karegi... aapne Omkaraji ke saath(I am not your Gauri. Your Gauri died the day I took the train here. I killed that Gauri in the same city where she thought of giving a chance to this love story for the first time. The place where she came thinking that she will spend her whole life with... her Omkaraji) tears escaped her eyes and he could feel her shaking under his hold; crying bitterly. He knew if she left her she would drop on the ground instantly.
"Gauri... Gauri..Gauri meri baat suno. Mujhe pata hai ki tumhe bohot takleef pahunchi hai. Aur main manta hun ki uska kaaran main hoon. Par please ek baar.. ek baar mujhe apni voh purani waali Gauri lauta do. Main waada karta hoon, iss baar kuch galat nahi hone doonga. Kuch kharrab nahi hone doonga. Iss baar main sab theek kar doonga. Sab kuch (Gauri... Gauri..Gauri listen to me. I know you are hurt. And I agree that the reason is me. But please for once return me back my old Gauri. I promise you, I won't let anything bad happen. I won't let anything go waste. This time I will make everything alright... Everything) she found the same purity in his eyes that he had the time he confessed that he loved her. She wanted to believe but didn't know how to.
Suddenly her doorbell rang "I will check it he said but she stopped and wiping her tears she ran back to the door and opened it receiving a letter with "Mr Achintyah written over it. She closed her eyes thanking the man. Opening it immediately; she found the paper and un-folded it
Ms Shrama
I read your letter and all I can say is that I don't know who this friend of yours is. But all I can say with my experience is that she should find the truth herself in her man's eyes. We could be different in words and actions but eyes never betray.
I know and I don't say I could understand the amount of pain she must have gone through. But I would suggest her to look into the eyes of the person and then the truth will be right standing in front of her. She would need no struggle to find whether to trust him back or not; because love needs no words. It was expressed through eyes and it will always be expressed trough eyes.
But then, it's her decision... and it should be her to decide
Reguards
Achintyah
As soon as she folded the letter again; she saw him with his eyes filled with tears "main jaanta hoon tum mujhe maaf nahi karogi... Par bas ek baar Gauri... Sirf ek baar mujhe khudko saabit karne ka mauka do. B.. bas ek.. ek baar (I know you would not forgive me. But please give me one chance to prove myself Gauri.. ju.. just one.. one chance) and she knew that he was Omkara. The person who could do anything; but lie and especially to her.
"Hum aapko ek mauka dete hain Omkaraji. Ek mauka uss purani Gauri ko phir se zinda karne ka. Ek mauka hume waapis khud se milane ka (I give you one chance Omkaraji. One chance to bring that old Gauri to life. One chance to make myself the old me) and with that he nodded his head and filled her in his arms. "Thank you... Main waada karta hoon... Main apni Gauri ko waapis launga... apne paas (Thank you... I promise I will bring my Gauri back... to me)
And she knew she was doing it not because Achintyah told her; but because she saw the same love back again in his eyes. The same love... for her
