Kumkum returns back from hospital , tired and spent..She slums down on the drawing room sofa....🥱
"Madhav kaka...sarr phat raha hai...aap pls..mere liye paani le aayenge?..."She says massaging her temples...😳
"Ye le..chai pi le.."Buajee offers..😲
"Arrey..buajee aap?.."she is about to get up...😲
"Baithi reh...thak gayi??..."She asks..😳
"Jee...aaj bahut kaam tha hospital mein..arrey aapka toh vrat hoga na..."She remembers...😛
"haan..par..abhi tu jaake aaraam kar le...phir baad mein mere liye alag se kheer bana dena toh..."she says..
"jee...bilkul buajee...aur kuch?.."she asks..😳
"Nahin..itna bhi kar le tu...toh bahut hoga..chai pi lena.."she leaves...
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
"Buajee...kheer chakh ke dekhiye..."kumkum enters the room, sweating...
Buajee tastes the kheer and spits it out..."tu toh maarna hi chahti hai na mujhe...meethi kheer layi hai...tu janti hai naa...mujhe diabetes hai...phir bhi tune.."😭😭
"buajee...maine sugar-free se banayi ...aap.."She explains...😕😕
"mujhe tujh par vishwaas nahin hai..MADHAV..."she calls..😭😭
"madhav...kitchen mein dekhte rehna...ye cheeni ya zeher naa mila de meri kheer mein.."😭😭
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Tears run down her eyes as she stirs the kheer..The blasting headache makes her feel dizzy...she stands with the support of the slab...
"bitiya...paani le lo...tumhe chakkar aa raha hai...."he gives her water...😳
"thankyou kaka...theek hun main..."she wipes her tears...
"bitiya kehna nahin chahiye...magar wo aurat ..bahut badtameez hai..."he says...😉
"nahin kaka...dil ki buri nahin hain wo..aur..its ok kaka.."She continues with the kheer-making..
When it is done, she asks kaka to place it on the table and leaves for her room...🥱
Almost fainting with tiredness, she falls down on the bed, holding a pillow...Long tears emerge from her eyes as she remembers the day...9 years ago..😭
"Aapne socha bhi kaise aise?...main aise kaise kisi aur se shaadi kar loon?..."Sumit tries explaining..😳
"Kyun sumit?..aakhir kami hi kya hai hamari Niharika mein??..."Buajee asks..
"Maine ye nahin kaha ki usmein koi kami hai...main bas ye keh raha hun..ki main kumkum se pyaar karta hun..aur uske alawa kisi aur ke baare mein aisa soch bhi nahin sakta hun..."?He turns his face to the wall...😳😳
"Sumit..dekh beta..humne us ladki ko bachpan se dekha hai...wo ladki tere layak nahin hai...arrey meri bhanji..niharika.."...but he pushes her away..😭
"main kch nahin sunana chahta...agar main shaadi karunga...toh sirf kumkum se...varna nahin karoonga...kumkum meri zindagi hai...mere jeene ki wajah hai...mera 22 saal ka pyaar hai meri kumkum...ye baat yaad rakhiyega..."😳😳
"theek hai...toh meri baad bhi yaad rakhna...us se shaadi kar ke tu kabhie khush nahin reh sakega..."she laments....😡

"munna??..."he keeps his laptop bag on the sofa and goes near her....He holds her hand, which was swinging down the bed as she was in a very deep sleep...😳
"weakness toh nahin ho rahi hogi.."he mumbles under his breath and takes her wrist to check her pulse...😳😳
He caresses her face.."bacche??...kumkum??.."He kisses her forehead...☺️
"Oye princess...aankhein kholiye.."He smiles as she stirs...😳
"Sumit?..aa..aa gaye tum??.."She wakes up with his support and hugs him tightly, not wanting to leave him...😛
"Weakness ho rahi hai na..aise kaise so gaye aap bina kuch khaye ?...main late ho gaya thoda sa...toh iska ye matlab thodi hai ki aap kuch khao bhi na....hun?...chalo..khana kha lo..aao..utho?.."He kisses her eyes..😳
"hmm..tum..ready ho jao..main lagati hun..."She smiles...😊
"kuch tension thi kya?..kuch khinchi khinchi si lag rahi ho...everything's fine na?..tabiyat toh nahin kharab hai na..."He holds her hand..😳
"Haan baba...all's well...chalo..fresh ho jao..."She gets up from the bed and goes to the kitchen...😊
Buajee gives her a scornful look...She feels uneasy...She takes the plates and moves to the dining table....
"buajee....woh..aankh lag gayi meri...main..main plates..."Bua snatches the plates for her....😭
"koi zarurat nahi hai mere vrat ko dushit karne ki...le jao apna khana andar..."she throws the plates on the table with a crash...😭
"maine kiya kya hai jo aap aise kar rahi hain mere saath??.."She replies back in tears...😭😭
"Kiya kya hai?...KIYA KYA HAI TUNE LADKI??..."She shakes her violently...Madhav Kaka looks horrified...
"Mere sumit ki zindagi barbaad kar di hai tune...tujhse shaadi kar ke uske saath accha hi kya hua hai?...kahaan meri niharika dekhi thi sumit ke liye..sundar aur susheel..aur ek tu hai...do bete diye hain uske apne pati amit ko...khushiyan di hain...aur tune...mera sumit..apni poori zindagi tere upar jhonk raha hai....kaun badhayega uska business aage....kaun uske naam ko aage badhayega..??...."😭😭😭
Kumkum listens silently...More tears well up her eyes....She gasps...😭
"Tumhaara dharm hai sumit ko ek santaan dena....aur tum...bas apne sapno...apne doctorti ke peshe ke alaawa kuch nahin sochti...kabhie nahin sochti ki sumit ki zindagi ki kamiyon ko kaise poora kiya jaaye...aur..."She stops abruptly...😕
"Kya chal raha hai ?...bahut bhookh lagi hai..kumkum shall we start...i am realllllllyyyy hungry..."He smiles, placing his hand on his stomach, very much like a small child...😳😆😆
"haan..ba..baitho..."She says, wiping her tears secretly and laying the dishes....Buajee sits with sumit...🤢
Kumkum silently serves him...and starts moving...He holds her hand.."hey??...kya hua?..kahaan jaa rahi ho?..."😕
"Mujhe bhookh nahin hai sumit...tum khaa lo.."She utters with great difficulty...Tears descend down her nose...😭
"Kumkum..par tumhe kamzori ho rahi hai waise hi....aur..."He starts getting up but she pushes him..."pls zid mat karo..tumkha lo.."😭😭
Trying to fight back her tears, she runs away....Sumit looks on...😭😭
