Continuation of Scene from page 21.
At the hospital the girls are taken into the emergency room, while Kunal and Vineet are left standing outside. Kunal immediately calls Seema and lets her know about their whereabouts. Seema and Gaurav arrive to find Kunal standing with his back against the wall, looking into space and blood on his shirt and face..
"Bhaiyya.. Doctor ne kya kaha? Aur aap pe yeh khoon" Seema questions all worried. "Abhi tak kuch nahin kaha... pichle ek ghante se operation chal raha hai..." "Bhaiyya aapko toh chot nahin lagi" "Nahin main theek hoon" "Toh yeh khoon..." "Siddhi ka hai..."
A nurse comes out of the operation theatre and all 4 (Kunal, Vineet, Gaurav & Seema) rush to interrogate to her..."Siddhi kaisi hai?" Kunal asks... "Ji operation ho gaya hai agle 24 hrs bahut critical hain.. baaki aapko doctors aake batayenge... Aur Richa ji..." "Haan Ritcha ke saath woh hai" and Kunal points towards Vineet. Vineet seeing Kunal's reaction thinks to himself "Ritcha tum galat thi... Kunal Siddhi ke saath aage badh gaya hai.. aaj jab tum aur Siddhi dono ka accident hua hai.. toh uske dil aur dimaag mein tum ho hi nahin... woh akele Siddhi ke bare mein soch raha hai..."
Once the doctor arrives, he gives them the latest info and leaves suggesting that one person per patient should stay back. "Bhaiyya aap ghar jaaka change kar lijiye, main Siddhi ke paas rehta hoon" Gaurav suggests. "Nahin Gaurav main yahi theek hoon" "Bhaiyya please aap jaiye.. main hoon na." Kunal relents and he and Seema leave the hospital.
Once back home, Kunal goes to his room to change, while Seema starts heating food for Kunal. She sets the table and waits. After waiting for more than 30 minutes, she finally goes to call him, only to find Kunal sitting on edge of the bed, his head in his hands and his entire closet on the bed!
"Bhaiyya kya hua" Seema rushes to his side and kneels before him. "Seema, agar Siddhi ko kuch hua toh main... mujhe pata nahin main kya karoonga... "
"Bhaiyya aisa kuch nahin hoga..." "Seema tu samjh nahin rahi..." and saying so he gets up from the bed and starts pacing the room... "Siddhi meri jaroorat ban gayi hai.. aadat ban gayi... main ek cheez nahin dhood sakta uske bina..dekh.. shirt nahin mil rahi. mera towel kahan hai mujhe nahin pata.. . zindagi kya bitaonga uske bina... aur meri kismat toh dekha.. yeh main tab samjha jab woh maut ke itne kareeb hai... Main yahan pe kar kya raha hoon, mujhe usse ke paas hona chahiye... " and saying so he rushes out of the room...
"Bhaiiya please aap kapde toh..." Seema shouts, but Kunal by then is already out of the house.
At the hospital, he relieves Gaurav from duty and spends the entire night outside Siddhi's room, occassionally peeping in to ensure that she is doing fine. Early next morning, the doctor arrives for check-up and Kunal waits outside ...praying for good news.
"Kaisi hai meri wife" he asks the minute the doctor steps out.. "Theek hai.. hum ab unhe regular room mein shift kar sakte hain... Par Mr. Chopra, unhe kafi chot lagi hain.. toh agle 2-3 hafte tak unhe complete rest karni hain..."
"Ji main dhyaan rakhoonga... par woh chal toh payegi?" "Haan par thodi dard hogi unko initiaaly... toh sahare ke zaroorat hogi.. "Ji bilkul..main dhyaan rakhoonga...Thank you doctor.." "Oh no problem" and the doctor leaves...
Epilogue:
3.5 weeks later:-
Kunal rushes home as soon as his work is done for the day and makes a beeline for his room. "Bahar jaane ke liye taiyaar ho Siddhi?" "Haan Kunal, teen hafte ho gaye..aisa lag raha hai ki pinjare se choot rahi hoon..." Siddhi replies.
Kunal smiles at her and says... "Bas mai chai le loon, phir tumhare liye aaaj ek special jagah sochi hui hai.." "Kaunsi jagah?" Siddhi questions all excited... "Thodi der aur ruko" and he leaves to get his and Siddhi's tea.
Kunal, Siddhi and Seema all have tea together and then Seema helps Siddhi get ready for her outing. Kunal steps forward and offers Siddhi his arm, as means of
support and helps her get in the car. Siddhi feels very excited and is constantly chattering, happy at being able to get out of the house.
After a short drive. Kunal stops the car "Siddhi pohuch gaye..." and he gets out of the car and helps Siddhi out.
"Kahan hai hum Kunal?" "Powai Lake" "Haan...Oh ok..." and She feels disappointed... "Powai lake mein itna kya special hai?" she thinks to herself but
doesn't voice her thoughts aloud, not wanting to offend Kunal.
Kunal leads her to a bench and makes her sit. He then gets channas and sits beside her. "Kaisi lagi jagah?" "Achi hai Kunal.. par powai lake kyun? Mujhe laga ki aap mujhe beach pe leke jayenge ya phir Gateway of India.."
"Siddhi tumhe yaad hai maine powai lake ke bare mein kya kaha tha..." "Aapne... haan aapne kaha tha ki Powai lake do tarah ke log jaate hain... woh jo berozgar hote hain, ya woh jo ek doosre se bahut pyaar karte hain... Par Kunal hum berozgar nahin hain.."
"Par Siddhi main tumse bahut pyaar karta hoon.. isliye laya...yahan pe.." "Woh
theek hai Kunal par..." and suddenly she realizes what Kunal just said. "Aap kya?" "Main tumse bahut pyaar karta hoon Siddhi..." he repeats and then suddenly feeling worried regarding how she will take his proposal... he starts clarifying "Tum please mujhe galat mat samjhna... mujhe yaad hai hamre beech seemarekha ki baat hui thi.. aur main kabhi apna vada nahi todoonga... par main jo mehsoos karta hoon woh main tumhe batana chahta tha.. main tumse pyaar karta hoon.. par main apna vada kabhi nahi todoonga... tum agar ab bhi Anand se pyaar karti ho, woh theek hai... " and suddenly he realizes that Siddhi is in his arms crying..
"Siddhi acha sorry, main nahin kuch kahoonga... please tum roo mat..."
Siddhi looks up at him, tears streaming down her face... "Aap kuch nahin.. aap yeh baat har roz mujhse kahenge..." "Theek hai... kya?😕" "Aap har roz mujhse kahenge ki aap mujhse pyaar karte hain..."
"Kya..." "Kunal aap har roz mujhse kahenge ki aap mujhe pyaar karte hain...kyunki main bhi aapse bahut pyaar karti hoon... Aapne itni der lagadi yeh baat kehne mein Kunal... toh yeh aapki punishment hai.." Kunal looks down at his wife's tear strained face, smiles and envelopes her in his arms " Johukum judge sabhiba... jo hukum..."
THE END...
I hope you all enjoyed this short story.. the basis of this story was simple..I believe that due to marriage, husband and wife feel a sense of ownership of their better half (am hoping the married ppl on the forum can pitch in here.. let me know if I am right), which is why a guy was introduced to make Kunal realize that HIS WIFE... is out with another guy.. second was the fact that Kunal till date I feel takes Siddhi for granted.. and the day she starts doing the same thing... seedha line pe aajayge😆... And through these two things, I tried to show that Kunal can indeed fall in love with Siddhi without knowing Ritcha's truth...
Hope you guys liked it!!!!
