Chapter- Fourteen
There was everything normal. Sona was teaching Aayan, Dev's dull life because of ignoring by his mother. Tina trying to close with Dev; but couldn't do that. But Sona was ignoring her health. She didn't took care of her health. As a result her health was becoming worse day by day. She had a appointment with Dev. That day, Dev test her x ray.
Dixit House
Ishwari: Ab tak toh aajana chaiye tha..
Neha: Maa, aap tension mat lo. Aa jayengi jaldi.
Aayan: Main toh excited hoon. Kitne dino ke baad unse milunga..!
Nikki: Haa, kitne dino se buya humare ghadh nahi aayi na...
By this time they heard the horn of car. And after sometime their buya entered their house. Aayan and Nikki just jumped and hug her.
Nikki: Kaise ho aap?
Buya: Thik hoon. Tum log kaise ho?
Aayan: Hum bhi achhe hain.
All of them welcomed her.
[I think she needs introduction. Her name is Vimla Dixit. Ishwari's sister in law. Dev, Neha, Aayan, Nikki's beloved " Vimmo Buya". She is unmarried. Because, she didn't choose any person to be her life partner. But she believes that she will be married one day and the day will come very soon. Her common dialogue is- I'm still young!...]
Nikki and Aayan just opened their bucket of stories which they urgently need to share with buya.
Neha: Areh, tum log Buya ko aaram toh karne do... Itne door se aaye hain. Thaq gaye honge na..
Buya: Oye.. Main kabhi thaqti nahi. Thaq jaye mere dushman. Main nahi...
Aayan: Wow! Buya, iss umar mein bhi aapka josh lajawaab hain.
Buya: Iss umar mein matlab? Meri umar hi kahan hui hain. I'm still young. Abhi toh meri shaadi ki umar hain.
Nikki: Aap bohot mazakiye ho..
Buya: Main seriously bol rahi hoon!
Everybody gave a fake smile and assured her that she will be married soon...!!!
Dev came to home at 8 o' clock and became very fresh and light to met with Buya ji. Buya ji is really affectionate to all of them.
Next Day Sona went to hospital to collect report. She entered Dev's cabin. He was seeing her report. To notice her he told her to sit down. She sat and wanted to see her report.
Dev: Ms Bose, pahle aap mujhe yeh bataiye, aap kisi baat ko leke pareshaan hain?
Sona: Kyun?
Dev: Boliye na..
Sona: Jee nahi.
Dev: Dekhiye, yeh saari baate mujhe aapko pahle hi baata dena chaite tha... Lekin aap toh uss tarah ki patient hi nahi hain ki aap ko himmat dene ki zaroorat padhe... Aap khud itni strong hain...
Sona: Aap saf saf bolenge, kya bolna chahte hain?
Dev: Yehi ki zindagi mein mushkile aayenge hi... Lekin kabhi ummeed nahi chhodh na chaiye. Cancer ek jaanlewa bimari hain, lekin iska ilaaz bhi toh hain. Aur maine kaha tha na ki agar aap himmat dikhayenge toh zarur thik ho jayenge...
Sona: Main yeh sab janti hoon, Dr. Dixit.
Dev: Lekin aapka report woh nahi kah raha... Agar aap response nahi karengi toh kaise chalega..?? Aap mein jeene ki ummeed honi chaiye... Dekhna sab thik ho jayega.. Mujhe lagta hain, aap kisi baat ke liye tensed hain.
Sona: Main... Main aapki baat samajh sakti hoon.
Dev: Pata nahi mujge aisa kyun lagta hain ki aap ko zindagi se nafraat hain.. Main aapki personal life ke baare mein kuch nahi janna chahta.. Bas, yeh yaad rakhiyega... Ki humesha zindagi se pyar karo, toh zindagi bhi tumhe woh dega jo tum chahte ho..
Sona: Aisi baat nahi hain... Main khush hoon. Bohot khush.. Itna khush ki-... (stopped for some second) Main baata nahi sakti...
Dev understood the hidden sufferings of Sona. It was seen clear in her face that she was lying.
Dev: Yeh toh achhi baat hain. Zindagi mushkil hain, Ms Bose. Lekin itna nahi ki him uska samna na kar sake... I hope you understand.
Sona nodded her head in yes.
Dev: Achhi baat hain. Waise aap prepare rehna... Shayad bohot hi jald aapka chemotherapy shuru kar denge...
Sona: Jee bilkul.
After regular checkup, Sona went away from the hospital.
In evening Sona was in Dixit House. Entering the hall, she saw Aayan gossiping with buya. Aayan saw her and said- Areh Sona di, aap aagayi?
Sona: Haa...
Aayan: Buya, dekho yeh meri teacher hain. Aur mere dost bhi ban gaye aur Dev bhaiya ke toh pahle se hi dost hain. Sona di, yeh hain humari vimmo buya...
Sona: Namastey..
Buya: Haa,, Betho na...
Sona sat on a sofa and they were gossiping. Ishwari came here and told Aayan to go to his room and study. Sona and Aayan went to their room.
After sometime Neha and Dev also returned to home. Dev brought "kachori" for Ishwari. Dev called everybody to the dining hall. Aayan requested Sona to come with him, though she was not agree but came to the hall at his request. Everybody was already there.
Dev: Bhola bhaiya... Jaldi laiye na..
Nikki: Kya hua, bhaiya?(Excitingly)
Bhola bhaiya brought the Kachoriyan in a plate. Dev took the plate.
Dev: Maa, (coming close to Ishwari). Dekhiye, main aapke liye aapki favourite Kachori laaya hoon. Aayan: Wow..! Kachoriya..!?
Aayan and Nikki about to snatch the plate from Dev. But they can't.
Dev: Areh... Ruk na.. Pahle maa ko toh khane de. Maa, aap lijiye na..
Ishwari: Nahi.. Mujhe nahi khana..Tum log khao.
Dev: Kyun nahi khana..?
Ishwari: Nahi khana hain toh nahi khana..(A bit rudely)
Sona was startled at her behaviour.
Neha: Rehne dijiye na bhaiya... Waise bhi aap ko kabse maa ki chinta hone laagi..?
Sona was now really shocked and felt something fishy.
Sona: Aunti ji, thodha toh khaiye.. Inhone aapke liye hi toh laaye hain.
Neha: Aap log samajh-
Ishwari: Neha..! Tum log khao.. Main andaar jaati hoon.
She went to her room. Seeing Dev still standing with the plate, Buya ji spoke up to lighten the environment.
Buya: Koi khaye na khaye... Main toh zarur khaungi... Haaye,, Yeh kachoriyaan...
She took Kachori. Aayan and Nikki also took kachori. They forced Sona and she also ate up kachori.
Sona noticed that Dev left the place in a sad mood. She felt sorry for him and was thinking why Ishwari did misbehave with him.
Buya: Areh Neha ji... Aap ko kya invitation dena hoga..?Khayenge nahi?
Neha: haa... Itna kahte ho, leti hoon..(with hesitation)
At Night, Sona left the house alone. Before leaving she was finding Dev unknowingly to her mind.
Chandni Nivaas
Mama: Kya hua tujhe? Kya soch rahi hain?
Sona: Kuch nahi..
Mama: Sachi bol.
Sona: Sach hain..
Mama: Kya pata.. Tu kya sochti hain, kiske baare mein sochti hain... woh mujhe thodhi na maloom..
Sona: Kya matlab..?(Frowning)
Mama: Matlab.. Tu mujhe na bolti hain. Lekin shayad... A-aapne liye kisi ko...(said mischievously)
Sona: Huh..! Oh God... Aap bhi na...
Mama: Pata nahi tu kab samjhegi.. Areh, mere baare mein socha hain tune..? Mere marne ke baad mujhe aag koun dega? Mera to koi beta nahi hain.. Ekhon jamai to bhorsha..!( Hindi-Ab damat hi bharosa hain)
Sona: Faltu baate mat karo... Jaldi khaiye, aur sone chaliye. Kitna thaq gaye the aj..
After finishing dinner, Sona was walking in her room. Her mind was still clung with Dev and Ishwari's behaviour. She couldn't understand anything.
Sona:(in mind- Dr. Dixit ne kitne pyar se Aunty ji ke liye kachori laye the.. Lekin Aunty ji ne... Phir Neha ne bhi kya kaha tha... Aisa kyun kar rahe the woh log. Aisa laga jaise yeh sab ke liye kuch naya nahi hain... Off! Sonaa, kikorchish..? Tujhe un logon ke personal matter mein involve nahi hona chaiye.. Koi misunderstanding hui hogi.. Tujhe kya itni.. Chal sone chal.)
She was lying in the bed. But can't sleep. Suddenly her phone rang. She saw the name- Dr. Dixit!
Sona: Itni raat ko...
She received his call.
Dev: Hello, Ms. Bose!
Sona: Haa, boliye... Kya hua? Itni raat ko..?
Dev: Aap so rahi thi..?
Sona: Nahi.. Bas sone hi waali thi..
Dev: Sorry.. Main phone rakhta hoon.
Sona: Areh, aapne phone kyun kiya woh toh nahi bataya..
Dev: Nahi woh actually... Aap aaj akeli nikaal gayi. Main bilkul bhul gaya tha, aapko ghadh chhodh na tha...
Dev's word made Sona smile.
Sona: It's Ok. Yeh aapki daily duty thodhi na hain..
Dev: Lekin...
Sona: Dr. Dixit! Raat bohot ho gayi.. Abhi so jaiye. Good night.
Dev: Good Night.(smilingly)
Day was passing. Sona was following Dev's advice. Her health was better than before. Sona was teaching Aayan and she was in puzzle by Ishwari's behaviour with Dev. One day Ishwari again misbehaved with Dev. She was ill but wasn't ready to take Dev's treatment which puzzled Sona very much. With a great hesitation, she said to Nikki and Aayan-
Aunty ji ko aisa nahi karna chaiye tha na... Aur Neha ko bhi unhe samjhana chaiye tha.. Hai na?
Nikki: Koi faida nahi hain, Sona di... Yeh toh roz roz ka hain...
Saying so, she went away in sad mood. Their family doctor checked up Ishwari. Sona was in Ishwari's room. She wished Ishwari to get well soon and was leaving the room. When she came out of the room, she saw Dev standing outside in teary eyes. Seeing Sona Dev, tried to hide his tears.
Dev: Ms Bose, chaliye main aapko chhodh deta hoon...(His eyes was not meeting her)
Sona: Nahi... Uss ki koi zarurat nahi hain. Abhi yehan aapki zarurat hain. Main chali jaungi...
Saying that Sona left their home. Dev was watching his mother from outside of the door.
Next Day
Sona went to Dev's hospital. When she entered his cabin saw that Dev was sitting in his chair and his face was almost covered by his hand. Sona was sure that Dev was sad about any matter. It didn't take so many time to make Sona understand why Dev was sad.
Sona: Good Morning,Doctor.
Dev raised his head and saw Sona standing.
Dev: Good Morning. Please sit down.
Sona sat on a chair.
Sona: Aunty ji ki tabyaat ab kaisi hain?
Dev: Thik hain... Doctor ne medicines di hain. Abhi better hain.
Sona: Aap kisi baat ko leke tension mein hain..?
Dev: Nahi.. Toh... I am fine..
Sona: Sach?
Dev: Haa... Kyun?
Sona: Aise hi... Mera reports..?
Dev: Oh, haa... Aapki tabyaat mein kaafi sudhar aaraha hain... Meri advice follow kar rahe hain, lagta hain..
Sona: Koushish kar rahi hoon...
Dev: Good.
Sona: Aap mujhe khush rahne ko kaha, aur khud udaas bethe hain..?
Dev: Main udaas nahi hoon.
Sona: Jhoot mat boliye.. Saaf saaf dikh raha hain..
Dev: Aa.. Woh..Sona: Aap aise muh fulake bethe hain, toh mujhe akela jhagdha karne mein maza thodhi aayega..?
Dev smiled at this... Sona also smiled.
Sona: Aise haas liya kijiye.. Doctor ko toh humesha khush rahna chaiye.. Isse unki patient ko bhi toh himmat milta hain. Hain na..?
Dev: Jee... Ms Bose.!
Sona: Ab main chalti hoon. Office jaane mein late ho jayega...
Dev: Bye.
Sona: Bye..
She left for her office. Here Dev was smiling... Yeah, that smile...
Author's Note- This is the longest chapter written by me... 😛 Hope achha laga.. Jo bhi hain, batana jaroor...
And finally, Sona started care for Dev...
