KTLK - Kuch Khwab Kuch Haqeqat [PARCHHAYEE]

It was late evening at Mathur Nivas. Nidhi was winding up the kitchen, and planning the next day's menu, especially for the kids Nisha (15 ) and Anish (13) , when the door bell rang. Nidhi opened the door and was surprised to see Anjie and Ranganath with their 12 year-old daughter Raagini. Nevertheless, she welcomed them and hugged Raagini whose "Hi Maasi" did not sound as enthusiastic as it usually was. It was then that she noticed than both her parents too looked somewhat disturbed.By then, Ashutosh too came to the drawing room, "Arre Anjie, Dr. Ranganath, what a pleasant surprise!" He lovingly patted Raagini's cheek in response to her "Good Evening Mausaji":

As the elders settled down, Nidhi said, "Raags beta, jaa, Nisha is in her room". Just like Nidhi and Anjie in theirchildhood and adolescence, the two young girls were inseparable. So Nidhi was somewhat surprised when Raagini did not rush in instantly to Nisha's room.

Raagini said somewhat sullenly "Nahi Maasi, I'm fine here"

At that, Nidhi laughed indulgently, "Don't tell me! Tum dono ne phir jhagda kiya?!" Then she got up to go to Nisha, "main abhi Nisha ko leke aayi" but Anji held her hand, "Koi zarurat nahi Nidhi, I need to talk to you". She then says softly to her daughter, "Go to Anish's room" which her daughter immediately does.

Ashutosh says, "baat kya hai Dr, Ranganath?"

Ranganath hesitates, "Sir woh, Nisha.." and is unable to say a further word.

Anjie says, "main bataati hoon. Nidhi tu toh jaanti haina aaj Raagini ko ek important assignment submit karni thi?"

"Of course Anji! Woh Nisha ki help lene bhi aayi thi"

Anji nodded and then added, "Lekin Nisha refused to help her"

"I see now. So, ye dono isiliye ek doosre se baat nahi kar rahe?"

"Nahi Nidhi bat yahin khatam nahi hoti.. dekh tu bura mat maanna, I am saying this to so that you can nip this in the bud. You know yaar I care too much for you , right?"

Nidhi is thoroughly confused by now. Ashutosh butts in, "Anjie khul ke baat karogi please?"

Anji begins in a helpless tone, "Jijaji, Raagini ne poora week mehnat karke assignment likha tha, aur mere saamne hi usne apne bag me notebook daali thi. (Ashutosh and Nidhi waited patiently for her to continue) Phir woh yahan aayi thi aur teeno bachche school gaye the. School me jab usne apna schoolbag khola toh usme woh assignment wali notebook nahi thi"

The couple exchange a confused glance before Nidhi says, "tune sab jagah dhoondi? Kahin gir vir gayi hogi.. tu toh jaanti haina Raags kitni careless hai?"

"itni bhi careless nahi hai yaar. Can't you understand?"

"Understand what Anji? Tu kehna kya chaahti hai?"

Anji mentally braces herself before venturing, "main sirf ye keh rahi hoon Nidhi ke Nisha is responsible for all this!"

This confuses her even more, "Nisha?.. Responsible?.. How?"

Anji is slightly exasperated now, "I mean Nisha took her notebook, jaan boojhke"

As understanding dawns on AshNi, they are indignant. Ashutosh is the first to react.

Barely controlling his rage, he says, "are you out of your mind Anji? Kitna ghatiya ilzaam laga rahi ho tum hamari Nisha pe!"

Nidhi too supports her husband, "Anji tu aisa kaise bol sakti hai? Tu toh mere dono bachchon ko itni achchhi tarah se jaanti hai!"

"Haan Nidhi jaanti hoon, tabhi toh tujhe aagaah kar rahi hoon.. ab bhi waqt hai.. Be strict with Nisha, iske pahle ke uska khoon teri parvarish pe haavi ho jaaye"

Now Nidhi loses it completely, "Anji!! Ab tu apni hadd se aage badh rahi hai."

Ranganath who sees Ashutosh getting more enraged, tries to signal Anji to keep quiet. But Anji is in no mood to listen. "Nidhi isme bura maanne ki koi baat nahi. You can't erase the fact that Nisha has inherited DNA from Dr. Mallika and Jagan. And I have always felt that she is jealous of Raagini - woh hamesha apni class me top karti hai, jab ke Nisha herself is never even in the top 5 of her class! (AshNi are getting more and more stunned with each word) Nidhi tu apne dil pe haath rakhke bol, doesn't this remind you of the incident when her mother did the same to you? She hid an important patient file and.. "

Nidhi could not believe her ears! Granted that conceiving Raagini was nothing short of a medical miracle for Anji and hence she had always been oversensitive and overprotective of her, but this was totally unacceptable, "Stop it Anji! I don't know whether to get angry or laugh at your stupid thinking! You.."

"Okay Nidhi, toh phir ek kaam karte haina! Chal Nisha ke room me book dhoondhte hain."

"NO! You hear that? N.O. Nisha ka kal exam hai, and I cant disturb her just because you have some stupid ideas!

Anji looks totally pissed off but Ashutosh says, "Nidhi, let her clear her doubt. Koi aur hota toh I too would not have allowed, but Anji.. she is.."

"But Ashutosh, Nisha pe iska kya asar padega? Aap ne socha hai?

"Leave it all to me Nidhi"

Nidhi acquiesced and all went to the child's room. Ashutosh very tactfully sent Nisha to the kitchen saying they all wanted to have the strawberry milkshake she made so well. They searched the room carefully and suddenly Nidhi went all quiet! All saw her holding the notebook in shock. Seeing raagini's book in her hand, something snapped inside Ashutosh and he shouted angrily, "NISHA! COME HERE THIS MOMENT!" The sound of his angry voice was quite rare in the house so the little girl must have been scared, for a sharp sound of something dropping ensued from the kitchen a moment before she came running.

"Ji papa?" she asked in a little voice.

"Nisha, ye book tumhare room me kya kar rahi hai?"

Confused, the child checked the book, and said innocently, "ye toh Raags ki book hai Papa. Ye mere room me kyun hogi?"

"EXACTLY WHAT I AM ASKING! Dekho Nisha, agar tum se koi galti hui hai or you have srolen it, just admit it now! You know well, mujhse jhoot bardasht nahi hota!"

Nisha is completely stunned, "Papa.., galti?, steal? Jhoot... ye sab.."

Nidhi comes out of her shock, and rushes to protectively hug her daughter, "AAP SAB IS ROOM KE BAHAR NIKALIYE.. MERI BETI AISA KAR HI NAHI SAKTI .. YOU GET THAT?! Ashutosh aap bhi? I am shocked!"

"So am I!!" said Ashutosh. He had lost his temper too. He muttered under his breath, "itni andhi mamta bhi theek nahi"

Just then, CS comes with the milkshake Nisha had made for everyone just before she was called in. Seeing the book he said, "Arre Nisha baby aaj aap school chali gayi na tab humein ye book darwaaze ke paas giri hui mili. Aap ko school me taqleef toh nahi hui na beta?"

All were stunned as the reality became crystal clear! Raagini had drooped the book while the kids were leaving for school that day from Mathur Nivas. All filed out silently from the room. Ranganath family left shamefacedly. Ashutosh silently walked to Nisha's room, where Nidhi was still consoling a crying Nisha in her enveloping hug. The mother's eyes held anger and accusations as they met his.

He ventured, "my dear? Please look here?"

Nisha slowly looked up from where she had hidden her face in Nidhi's bosom, and looks up at him wearily. She was shocked to see her otherwise stoic and strong father, her hero, holding his ears silently while tears flowed down his cheeks. She got up from the bed and hugs him tight, saying softly "Papa!" Ashutosh too hugs her tight and says "Aapke papa bahut bure hai Nisha, bahut kharab hai". He feels her shaking her head vigorously while still in his hug, she sobs, "No! You are the bestest Papa, you are my one and only hero .I love you" "I love you too my princess!"

That night in bed, Ashutosh nudged his wife as she lay facing away from him. "baat bhi nahi karogi?" When she did not respond, he used sheer force to turn her around. He held her face and looked into her eyes he said sincerely, "I am sorry!". Nidhi said just three words in response, "How could you?" He said with trepidation, "sach kahoon? I let my medical knowledge rule over me. I could not listen to my heart. Aaj ek pal ke liye mujhe laga ki Mallika is back before us! You had to bear so much just because you loved me. Meri dosti ki bahut bhaari keemat chukai tumne Nidhi! I mean, I understand she could never accept our relationship but.."

"agar unhone hamara rishta nahi accept kiya hota, toh woh apni beti ka naam Nisha kabhi nahi rakhti! Aur ek baat - we cannot let the past cloud our judgement! NISHA IS NOT MALLIKA!"

He looked at her almost reverently as understanding dawned on him. He whispers softly, "haan woh sirf tumhari parchhaayi hai!".

So well written Shirley👏

Fantastic story!!! How wrong it is to blame someone without fully knowing the truth!!! Such an awkward moment for RAnji... Why RAnji!! even for Ashutosh! and some times though parents know about their child, how difficult it is to accept that their child could go wrong!

Very smooth and beautiful flow! Congratulations once again👏👏👏

KTLK - Kuch Khwab Kuch Haqeqat

[Ek Pyaar ka Nagma Hain..]

A fifteen year old boy of about five feet six inches of height with a lanky stature ran pell-mell across the huge playground, his gaze frantically searching for someone. There! His face showed relief as he changed his direction and ran towards the basketball court screaming at the top of his lungs, "Aryan! Oye Aryan Ashutosh Mathur!"

Aryan threw the ball in a perfect bank shot and his friends whooped as it bounced off the backboard at such an angle that it dropped into the basket. He thumped his fist in the air before exchanging high fives with his friends. At fifteen, he was already six feet tall and had the shoulders fit for a line backer. His dark piercing eyes held a hint of mischief and despite the intense game going on, he had a relaxed air about him. As if he found the life to be full of joy and exciting possibilities that he didn't find anything to worry about.

"Aryan mere baap!"

Aryan frowned and turned towards the boy who was waving his arms in frenzy and running towards him. He swiped a towel over his face and went to meet his friend with a lop-sided grin that looked like he had plucked it right out of his father's mouth. "Pavan! Pavan! Aaram se aaram se," he held out his hand to stop Pavan from ploughing right into him. "Bhaagna band kar aur bata hua kya?"

Pavan huffed and puffed before saying on a panting breath, "Mera bhaagna khatam. Ab tera bhaagna shuru. Ja. Bhaag."

Aryan frowned. "Kyu? Kya hua?"

"Teri behen..Anisha.."

If there was one thing destined to raise his protective instincts, it was the mere mention of his twin sister, Anisha. Aryan's entire body stiffened. "Kya hua Anisha ko?"

Pavan sighed tiredly. "Her? What could happen to her? Apparently one of our senior wrote her a love letter. She is gone to kill him. If you don't go and stop her, she will succeed too."

Aryan slapped his forehead before signalling his friends that he was out of the practice match. "Where is she?"

"Near the library. I saw that poor guy sitting under the tree."

Aryan scowled. "He gives a love letter to a fifteen year old girl and you are sympathizing with him?"

"Anyone on the receiving end of Anisha has my unending sympathy. Ladki hain ki gunda hain yaar teri behen?"

"Shut up! Nahi toh Anji mausi ko boldoonga ki koi Anisha ko ched raha tha aur tu waha se bhaag gaya."

"Yaar don't drag my mom into this. And go now before the cops come and arrest her."

Aryan chuckled but nevertheless ran in the direction of the library without bothering to change out of his team shorts and sleeveless t-shirt.

****

"Saala! Mere ko love letter deta hain? Jaanta hain ki mein kaun hoon?"

"A-Anisha A-Ashutosh M-M-Mathur!" The poor guy pinned between the hard bark of the tree and a ferocious female stammered.

"Idiot. I didn't ask you my full name. I'm a karate black belt. Gave my final test just last week. Ek doongi na.." The brown black eyes of the fifteen year old Anisha were spitting fire and fury. She looked thin but every inch of her five feet five inches sleek frame was well toned muscle and her thick straight black hair was pulled into a tight ponytail at the back of her head.

Before her fist could connect with the guy's cheek, hard arms wrapped around her waist and pulled her away giving the guy a chance to breath and run like hell in the other direction. Facing the girl after giving that letter had been a nightmarish experience. He most definitely didn't want to tangle with her twin brother.

"Ani..Ani ruk! Mat maar usse, chod! Jaane de Ani!"

Anisha pushed her brother's arms away and freed herself. "Chod Ari! Kaisa bhai hain tu! Usse marne ke bajai tu mere ko rok raha hain?"

"You really want mom to know about this? If the principal sees you hitting someone again, she is going to call mom. And you know all hell will break loose after that." Anisha scowled but nodded in agreement. "Now let's go. Dad called. Today is their anniversary and he wants to surprise mom with something."

****

Nidhi came out of the OT, pushing away her face mask. "Congratulations, beti hue hain."

"Thank you so much Dr Nidhi," Presumably the patient's mother said with gratitude. "What people say is true. You indeed do have a golden touch."

Nidhi smiled and patted her shoulder. "Aisa kuch nahi hain. I'm no different from other OBGs here. Your daughter will be shifted to the ward in a few minutes then you can see her and also your granddaughter." And walked towards her cabin. Just as she entered, she felt her phone vibrating madly on the table. A glance at the caller id and her face lit up in a tired smile. She answered it. "Haan Anji! Bol!"

"Hey Nidhi..Happy anniversary yaar."

That wiped the smile off Nidhi's face. Her startled eyes fell on the calendar and groaning, she plopped down in her chair. "Oh God! I totally forgot about that! Shit yaar!"

"You have gotten so busy in your profession these days..no wonder you don't remember anything. Do you even get to spend enough time with your kids?"

Nidhi smiled at that. "I do actually. We went to that picnic last weekend na. It was fun. You saw the pictures?"

"Yup. Jeejaji is looking so relaxed re."

"I know. He says he is living his childhood through his children. Now that he has opted out of surgeries and shifted to teaching, he is bonding with them big time. All three of them went to some movie too last night."

"Can't believe jeejaji watching movies and eating burgers. And can't believe you have become a strict no-nonsense type of a mom." Both of them giggled like two young girls talking about their favourite hot actor instead of two middle aged women.

"Achcha chal, rakhti hoon. I need to go home as soon as I can. Say my hi to Ranganath and Pavan. Oh and your in-laws too."

"Yeah ok. And you say my hi to Yog uncle and jeejaji. Kissie kissie to kids." They laughed and ended the call.

Nidhi quickly wrapped up the OPD and handed over a couple of emergency deliveries to her colleague before driving herself home, stopping on the way to buy a huge bouquet of red roses for her husband. As soon as her car stopped in front of their two storied bungalow, her son came running and opened her door. She took the flowers and got out only to have him close both her eyes with his palms. She felt her daughter's hand guiding her through the front porch steps and then she was inside the house. Her son removed his hands slowly and she blinked her eyes open. She saw the grinning face of her baba first and then looked around. The hall was full of balloons and streamers and in the centre table sat a huge cake, alight with candles. And near the huge bay window, stood her husband, with one foot propped against the wall behind him and with his violin in his hand. He smiled that special smile of his as soon as her eyes met his and started playing the song that had become their song through the years.

Ek pyaar ka nagma hain..Maujon ki ravani hain..

Zindagi aur kuch bhi nahi..Teri meri kahaani hain..

Tu dhaar hai nadiya ki, main tera kinaara hoon

Tu mera sahaara hai, main tera sahaara hoon

Aankhon mein samandar hai, aashaaon ka paani hai

Zindagi aur kuch bhi nahin

Teri meri kahaani hai

Ek pyar ka nagma hai

👏👏👏👏👏👏 well written
