bhoomika - muskan's mother
***Dor***
she opened her eyes as she couldn't take anymore.... and as she opened her eyes she saw someoneg on the door of her room....she removed the tears from her brimming eyes to clear the her view and was shocked to see Prem standing on the door bending on threshhold a little, his face had a intense expression as if trying to figure out what was happening....but as soon as she realised that he was there...at her house...in her room...and they were all alone....she got up quickly and while adjusting her dress...
'tum?(she said shocked and angry , as she sat on the bed, rubbing her face to remove stains of tears) andar kaise aagaye tum?'
'darwaaje se...'he said gently
'niklo bahar yahan se ....'
'itna dard kyun hain tumhari aankhon mein....'
and she looked at him helpless......why was he doing it.....
'filmy dialogue marne band karo and get lost.....aur agar tum dobara mere ghar mein ghuse to main police ko bula lungi....you have no right to enter my house....aur wo bhi.....(she searched for the clock....and got another shock...it was 4 am....in morning...she had actually slept.....) subah ke chaar???(she said almost in a whisper)'
she was again confused.....it was like time flew....but right now all she was needed to do was kick this man out of her house....
she walked to him....
every step of her was sending butterflies to his stomach.......why she had such an effect on him???....with her every tear ...it was like life was taken out of him...and whenever she took even a single step towards his direction....something blossomed inside him....it was never this way before....never ever...
he was standing and gazing in her eyes......while she walked to him.....and pointing a finger to his chest.....
'get out!!!....right now....'
he smiled looking in her eyes......and then seeing her annoyed face....turned back to main door.....
while walking to the door he realised she was walking just behind him he stopped and she bumped in him....her hands touched his back and he let out a sigh....but she pushed him....
'dobara mat aana mere ghar mein....' she was about to close the door....when suddenly he kept his hand on the edge....and got himself hurt....
'ouch!!!....'
he winced in pain......seeing his face her expression changed from annoyed to worried...and suddenly her forehead started to wrinkle even more , her eyes became moist...
'oh no....i m sorry...main to...darwaza band kar rahi thi...m sorry... i didnt mean to hurt you.....m sorry...really very sorry....galti se ho gaya am sorry' she started apologising holding his bleeding hand in her own.....holding elbow of his hurt hand she dragged him inside and made him sit on the chair......she ran inside.....she ran fron one wall to other searching every nook and corner, each and every drawer....suddenly she found something and came to him with a tray containing a bowl half-filled with water, 2 towels, and a box...
she sat on her knees keeping tray on a stool that was nearby, she opened the box and then turning to him....took his hand in hers.....with one hand she took out a cotton dipped it in water started cleaning his hand......he winced in pain when the she touched cut with cotton in her hand....
'sorry....'she apologised and continued cleaning the wound....in less then one minute she cleaned it and then with dettol cleaned it again then she took out some cream and covering the wound she put a clean bandage....after she was done taking everything she moved towards the kitchen while saying
'rukna yaheen main abhi aati hun...'
he smiled hearing her voice which now had calmed, from last to last night he had tried every possible way to make her talk to him...and when he actually didnt try anything she herself brought him in the house and from last 10 minutes was trying best not to hurt him again...and said sorry so many times for a mistake she had not done on purpose actually wasnt her's at all he had kept his hand there himself and still she was apologising......
In a few minutes she came back, she came with the tray and it had a glass with some yellowish liquid on it.....as soon as she reached near him, he recognised it...haldi wala doodh!!!...
'no.....this cant be....i wont have that,....it tastes bad....really had this three days back only....please main nahi pine wala ye......'
taking the glass in her hands she took it near his face and bringing his healthy hand to it covered the glass with his hand,
'maine tumse kuchh puchha? nahin na....just have it....ye haldi wala doodh hai....dawaai hai, cold drink ya juice nahi, jo iska taste tumhari pasand napasand ke according ho...aur kehte hain jitni dawaai buri hoti hai taste mein utna achha aur jaldi asar karti hai...so be a good boy and...have it.....'
he made a face....and then shook it....like a 5 yaer old kid,
'achha theek hai...ek kaam karo naak band karo aur gatak jao ise pata bhi nahin chalega....chalo chalo....good boy' she covered his hand with he hand around it on the glass and took glass near his mouth.....seeing his other hand was injured she herself pinched his nose between her finger and thumb and made him drink it....and like a good boy he did respond to her moves and drank whole of it, after he finished it.....
'good boy!!! she offered him a toffee.....'
taking it
'thanks....waise kya tum doctor ho?'
letting out a small giggle
'noooo.....main to architect hun.....bus hamesha se doctor ban na chahti thi so isiliye thoda bohut first aid seekh liya....aur ye doodh wala nuskha mom ka hai...' she told him, as she turned to the clock and saw time it was now five....
'achha ab tum jao....aur agar jyada dard ho to doctor ko puchh ke pain killer le lena jaldi theek ho jaoge'
'thanks.....'he said with a smile thinking 'iss dard ke liye to main saari duniya bhula doon ise kaise kam hone doon, dard hi sahi tumse jo mila hai...'
'you are most welcome.....'she said with a genuine smile
After he left, heer got ready and went somewhere and returned at around 8 pm in the evening, as she climbed stairs to reach her apartment, she saw Prem marching from left to right and right to left in front of her door and then he suddenly stopped and turned to the stairs but she hid herself , to herself,
'ye yahan kya kar raha hai?....ek baar mein ise samajh nahi aata ki ye mere ghar se dur rahe...mera dimag already garam hai...aur upar se ye....hai rabba ab kya karun?' she thought for a few seconds then letting out a huge sigh moved to her apartment and he was directly looking at her at the stairs,
'kahan thi tum? i had been waiting for you whole day....i thought kahin tum yahan se bhi to nahin bhaag gai...you should have told na .....saara din gayab thi.....aur phir tum hide kyun kar rahi thi?...i felt you already, tumhare aane se pehle hi isiliye i was waiting......tum...'
and while he was saying this she unlocked the door and went inside and closed the door on his face....
'ise kya hua? dobara gussa kyun ho gai?....subah to theek ho gai thi...'
leaning on the door and looking towards the roof she said to god in her mind
'rabb ji....ye ladka mera peechha kyun nahi chod deta? main already pareshan hun...aaj meri job jaate jaate reh gai.....but i saved somehow but instead of it worst happened they transfered me to other section, jahan itne khadoos log kaam karte hain.....kabhi muh banate hain....kabhi faltu bakwas karte hain....hamesha main hi kyun? ek hi office mein section badal kar un logo ne mera jeena haraam kar diya hai.......pehle woh stupid rajeev and his mom...then my mom and her problem... then that fight with her...then i left home, dad ,kush and mom ...everyone....., wo train wala haadsa...saari raat main anjaan sheher mein ek anjaan aadmi ke saath thi....aur ye sab already kam tha jo aapne meri job ......aur uske upar se is Prem ka tadka jaroor lagana tha aapko?..... kyun mere dushman ban gaye ho aap?.....meri family, friends, job, apartment sab kuchh meri marzi ke hisaab se tha par achanak sab kuchh galat kaise ho gaya? aakhir kyun kar rahe ho aap ye sab? kyun?'
she felt a knock on the door, and in anger opened the door shouting
'kya hai? kyun dimaag kharab kar rahe....tum....oh i m sorry..'she stopped her shouting a she saw astonished faces of samrat and gunjan and apologised....
'kya hua di? had a bad day?' inquired samrat
she smiled a bit embarrased and slightly nodded
'koi baat nahi...aap jaldi se taiyar ho jaiye....aaj shagun, mehendi, bachelor's party aur ladies sangeet hai ....sara mood theek ho jaega...'said gunjun cheerfully
'charon ek saath?'asked heer
'haan wo hamare bade bhai behen ko bohut jaldi hai na isi liye....kal haldi, shaadi, vidaai aur baaki pre- marraige ceremonies bhi to hain...'
heer smiled and told them that she will be there soon
and as she turned she found prem on the chair, she was shocked
'tum andar kaise aaye main to darwaje par hi thi....tum ?'
'use chodo pehle meri help karo....mujhe nahi pata main kya pehn lu... m confused i have nothing new to wear...'he said getting up and moving towards her
'par tum andar kaise aaye?'and ignoring her questions and protest he took her along with him holding her elbow, to his house, as she entered his apartment she saw everything thrown everywhere....whole of his house was a complete mess,
'kaise rehte ho tum?....its so dirty....oh god....u men dont have brains or your brains gets stuck in your knees as you grow taller'
'you can taunt me later first help i have these dresses but nothing new to wear....what should i do?'
she saw two sherwanis lying an a corner on the floor...
1.-
2.- she went to them and picking one of them 'wear this...'picking first one
'this?? no i dont want ki main khud dulha lagoon....i want something simple ....but sab kuchh gadbad ho raha hai.... i am not getting anything to wear...'
'ok then wear this showing him second
'no....kuchh aur...'
'pehen rahe ho to theek hai...warna main to ja rahi hun...'
'ok ok fine i will wear this but please wait for me....we will go together....please...'he pleaded and she nodded and started going to her own house but heard something and turned....
'kya hua?' he asked as if not knowing
again his stomach grumbled
he held it embarrased
she giggled
'khana nahi khaya...???'
'i dont know how to cook!!!'
'ohhh....fir pehle kaise karte the? i mean kahan khate the?'
'main kal shyam ko hi yahan shift hua hoon....aur maine subah se kuchh nahin khaya...last thing i had was the food we had last to last night..and coffee last night' he confessed...
'hai rabba!!! tumne do din se sivay coffee ke kuchh nahin khaya piya...(hitting her forehead lightly) have you gone mad? kuchh to kha lete ...khareed lete kuchh'
'sab tumhare yahan hi hai to kaise khata....?'he said in a whisper
'kuchh kaha tumne?'
'nahin....its just i am hungry'
she smiled .....turned to the door
'jaldi se upar aa jao taiyar hoke main kuchh bana deti hun....'
'koi baat nai,...i will....thank you...' he tried to protest but soon agreed
As he got ready, he took last glimpse in the mirror 'something is missing.....are yaad aaya use phone karna to bhool hi gaya....' he picked his phone to call someone, but heard doorbell ring and went to open it....heer was standing there with a polythene...
he let her in...
'main aa hi raha tha...wo bas...'
'koi baat nahi...ye lo wadapav khao...'
'kya ?? kya khao..??'
'wadapav....ek tarah ka indian burger....jaldi kha lo...abhi ye garam hai...warna thanda ho jaega...chalo chalo jaldi kha lo...'
he took one which she handed and looked at it carefully....then at her
'ise aise khate hain...' she showed him mimicking with her hands
he was about to take a bite when he asked
'tum nahi khaogi?'
she looked at him and smiled a little impressed with his gesture
'thanks....main baad mein kha lungi...tum khalo...'
'please saath mein kha lo mujhe company bhi mil jaegi....aur ye main akele kyun khaun kahin tumne isme kuchh milaya hoga to?'
they shared a small laugh
'yaar main to bhool hi gai...ye idea mujhe kyun nahin aaya...pehle batana tha na'and again they laughed
he took a bite as he saw her take one, and suddenly started screaming
'hot! hot! its hot!!!'
'kya?'
'its hot i mean ummm spicy'
she laughed handling him a mineral water bottle
after calming
'tum kab laayi ye bottle?'
'i know tum NRI ho...ye sab khane ki aadat nahin hai tumhe...isi liye mirchi ke bina wala wada laayi thi phir bhi tum....and tumhe yahan ke paani ki bhi aadat nahi hogi isi liye mineral water...ek dum change mat karna paani....stomach infection ho jaega'
'yes doctor!!!'he teased
'ek to main tumhari madad kar rahi hun aur tum mera majak uda rahe ho...'
holding his ears'sorry'
after half an hour
both were ready and started
heer's dress
they entered the house
it was filled with people....all walls covered with folwer garlands.....whole biuliding was lighted ....and there they spotted little muskan
muskan's dress
'heer di!!! prem bhaiya!!!' she came running to heer and prem
heer bended down to hug her then muskan turned to Prem
'hi muskan!!!' said heer
'pretty lady!!! will you be my date tonight?'asked prem to muskan
she blushed and hid in heer stomach as she hugged her from waist
'are yaar mere saath nahi rahogi tum?'asked prem making a sad face
'kya hua muskaan bhaiya ke saath nahi rehna?' heer asked
she nodded a yes
'phir?'
'aapke saath bhi rehna hai....'
'muskaan!!!'they heard someone calling her
suddenly a lady came in white saari appeared from behind the curtains....
seeing the lady prem got confused...everyone in the house was adorned in colourful cloths but the lady was only in white without any jewelery only pearl studs
'aapne kuchh colourful kyun nahi pehna.....ouch'
on hearing his question heer knew what would the lady feel...and stomped her foot on his....
'chup raho tum...'she instructed him
she saw ladies eyes brimming with tears
suddenly samrat came and keeping his hands around the lady
'bhoomika bhabhi!!!' tried to console her
'main theek hoon'
'i m sorry...wo actually...ye baahar se aya hai ....he doesnt...woh i am really sorry...he didnt mean to hurt you..'
'its ok....'and she left from there her eyes were brimmimng
'i m sorry samrat wo ....prem india mein nahi raha i think so he doesnt know ...please wo...'
'koi baat nahin didi....she will be fine...'
'par hua kya ? please mujhe bhi batao...why she started crying...kuchh galat bola kya maine?'
'haan!!!galat vola as usual....aur tumhe to main baad mein dekhti hun!!.....ab tum please chup rehna....samjhe!!!'said heer in a bit anger
'ok!!!'prem agreed in confusion...but he felt bad on seeing the lady cry
'wo kaun hai? samrat!!'
'meri bhoomika bhabhi...aur muskan meri niece hai...mere sabse bade bhai arjun bhaiya ki beti...'
'oh!!!....waise i shouldnt ask on this occasion...but what has happened with her...she is quite young...i mean your brother....unke saath kya hua?'
'he died in ....you know he was in army....'
'oh my god!!! she is a widow...oh i m sorry dude...mujhe nahi pata tha...i m sorry'apologised prem
'its ok bhaiya...shayad ab unhe ehsaas ho ki unhe aage badna hoga....'
'itna asaan nahin hota....'said heer looking towards the direction she had seen bhoomika leaving
'matlab?'asked both samrat and prem
'kisi ko bhool ke aage badd jana itna asan nahi hota...aur apne pati ko to bilkul bhi nahi...us ehsaas ko bhool jana, its very difficult...'
'ye baat mujhe samajh nahi aati...yehi sab gunjun bhi kehti hai...but...'
'aaegi jab tujhe ehsaas hoga kisi ko khone ka...kisi se pyaar karke...hi ye baat samajh aaegi...'
'matlab aap sab ko pyaar ho gaya hai kisi se?gunjun ko bhi?'
'are nahin budhu.....ladkiyan iss baat ko jaldi samajh jaati hain? kyunki hum jaante hain ki hum apne husband se kya expect karte hain?? isiliye we understand ki ek ladki ko kaisa lagta hai aisi situation mein....koi baat nahi sabka time aata hai...tera bhi aaega...'she said as she ruffled his hair 'di please dont do that'
'kyun? waise please mujhe samjhao tum ladkon ko kya hota hai jab hum aisa karte hain?'
'we dont feel good....'
'kya matlab?'
'tum rehne do tumhe samajh nahi aaega...i can understand samrat...i m with you'
'bus bilkul aise hi...hum ladkiyan bhi ek dusre ko samajh leti hain...'
'ok!!!ab main chalta hoon before dad comes and scold me...you both may go to the next room main aur gunjan aate hain 5 minute mein the we can stay together please 5 minute wait kar lo...'
'ok!!!'
samrat left...and heer started moving towards the room when prem caught her elbow and dragged her to a corner
'kya kar rahe ho tum?'
'now tell me wahan kya hua tha?'
'india mein widows white pehenti hain...and according to the traditions here...they have to wear that colour until their death '
'kyun?'
'people say a women has colour i.e. happiness in her life as long as her husband is with her...but when he dies every colour or happiness dies with him....'
'ok!!! why white? christians wear black...so why not black'
'this is because they believe if they do they can go to the same place where her husband is and after her death she will go to him and serve him there and also during marraige a women vows that her evry happiness would start from her husband and end at him...every colour, ornament, and every adorn she will have would be for him..so when husband dies every colour, goes from her life....'
'ok!!!(taking in heer's every word) agar tum meri help karo to i would like to apologise to her'
'rehne do already tum kaafi gadbad kar chuke ho...ab please rehne hi do'
'please heer....i want to apologise...please...'heer saw some truth in his eyes and somewhere her heart said he wouldnt do anything wrong
'she should in the balcony...but as there is crowd she would be at the terrace...'
they went to stairs and ran till terrace, upon reacing there they started searching bhoomika
prem turned to a side a saw her
'she is there....u r smart!!'he whispered to heer
'thank you!!!...par kuchh gadbad mat karna....'
'hmmm....you wait here i will come back with her...'
heer nodded and prem left to go to bhoomika
'uhem....(he coughed)'
but got no response...he went near and saw bhoomika staring at stars with tears in her eyes
'i m sorry bhabhi!!!'
and hearing his voice bhoomika removed her tears and turned to the voice's owner
'are aap?'
'bhabhi !! i am sorry!'
'sorry? are koi baat nahi...'
'wo bhabhi main india mein nahin raha aur isiliye i didnt know ki aapne ye kapde kyun pehne hain?'
'koi baat nahin main samajh sakti hun...'
'sorry bhabhi'
'please baar baar sorry bol ke tum mujhe sharminda kar rahe ho....'
'ummmmm ok then agar main sorry nahin bol sakta to phir humein friends ban na padega...'
'friends?'
'haan friends...coz friendship mein no sorry...'
'and no thank you'completed bhoomika
'ab dosti ki hai to ek baat aur kehna chahunga i know iske baad aap meri maar lagaengi...but phir bhi...can i advice something...i have a free ki advice so?'
'main nahi maarungi...promise'
'you shouldnt wear this colour....'
bhoomika's expression changed fron smile to a slight anger
'i knew aap gussa ho jaengi but please listen phir aap jo chahe kar lena'
she nodded slightly
'rang chahe koi bhi daalo...par aisa mat karna ki uss doosri duniya mein jake bhi aapka rona arjun bhaiya ko tadpaye....aapki khushi se jyada unke liye kuchh maayne nahi rakhta hoga'
she smiled.....with teary eyes
'aapko jo chha lage aap pehno...haan unki kami to kam nahi ki jaa sakti par baar baar uss dard ko yaad karke jab aap roti hain to unhe bhi bura lagta hoga haina?....'
she nodded as tears fell from her eyes
'to phir aap please rona mat....jo hota hai achhe ke liye hota hai....aur agar kuchh galat ho jaaye to bhagwan hamesha apni galti ko sudharte hain....so trust his ways...and jindagi ko khul ke jeeyo....'
'thank you....'saying this she hugged prem
and he hugged her back
after a few minutes when they were back to normal
'lets go!!!'said prem
'haan theek hai!!! ab muskan mujhe dhoondne lage us se pehle chalte hain....but before that...i too have a free ki advice...'
'dijiye...'
'use bata dena jo tumhare dil mein hai, der mat karna.... wo kadar jaanti hai pyaar ki, uski aankhon mein dekha hai maine.....'
and prem's face became crimson pink hearing it
he hugged her again and then they started moving
on the other end heer couldnt haer anything she tried several times but heard nothing...when she saw bhoomika hugging prem, she knew that he had sorted.....and the after few moments he hugged her she got confused....but was happy to know that he sorted everything and bhooika was fine now
they came near the door to stairs and saw heer waiting
bhoomika came near her
'thank you!!!'saying this she left
heer turned to prem, raising her eyebrows she asked why she said that
bue he shrugged in answer
she too shrugged and went to the house
when they reached there, gunjun came and hugged heer and exchanged hello with prem
then samrat also joined them
'lets go and have some dhamaal kyunki shagun to khatam hua ab mehendi chal rahi hai fir ladies sangeet jo saari raat chalega chalo na di and let these guys enjoy their boring bachelor's party...'
'boring ? kisne kaha boring wahan bhi dhamal hoga.....u will regret for not being able to come there'
'rehne de rehne de'
gunjun and samrat started fighting but heer and prem interfered and took them to their respective places
