Part 6

“You know, I closed myeyes that day and whom I saw?” Neil asked getting emotional.

“Whom?” Minni asked asher eyes already started shining with happy tears.

“You Minni, I saw you. Minni,will you fill the void in my heart?” Neil asked.

Minni’s eyes shedding those tears finally which she was holding back from long time. Although her heart was telling her to embrace this man. She wanted to ask the same question from him since that day but stopped herself. She has been living alone since many years now. She needed love. But she wanted to clear it out that will he except her with her past.

“Would...you ...feel the same way if I tell you that...I am no different from Manreet of the story? I have faced same heartache, have been cheated, used...both mentally and physically and people say all kinds of things about me.” Minni started crying.

“I dont care. Who you are? What has happened to you? I know that we both are broken. We both lost our soul. We need each other to find solace, to embrace love...true love.” Neil said in broken voice and extended his hand towards her.

Minni came running into his arms. They kept holding each other for sometime. Neither of them wanted to let go the other. Neil felt like his life is full again and Minni felt like her wait has finally ended.

Neil pulled apart a little and cupped her face. He kissed her. Minni couldn’t stop the tears of content. She felt like she has purified again...by his love. Neil felt like he has tasted the life. He will never let her go away from her. He resolved in his heart.

Neil noticed the time after few minutes. It was already dark. Usually Minni leave the place by this hour but today she was not in a hurry. “You wont go back today?” he asked.

“No, my journey is completed. I have found my destination in you. I dont have to worry about anything now. My sufferings have ended, I found true love.” Minni replied and hugged him again, this time more tightly as if to live every second with him. Neil felt her restlessness. “What happened Minni? Leave me, I am not going anywhere. I am with you.” Neil assured her.

Minni just smiled but Neil couldn’t miss the sadness in them. “Only if we could have met earlier...but whatever time I have with you I will cherish it.” Minni whispered.

Neil was about to ask her what does she mean when she put a finger on his lips. “Let me rest in your arms Neil.” She said. Both of them got settled on the swing in the garden thats when Minni started humming.

MereHaath Mein Tera Haath Ho Saari Jannatein Mere Saath Ho... (2)
Tu Jo Paas Ho Phir Kya Yeh Jahaan Tere Pyar Mein Ho Jaaun Fanaa

“You know Neil, agar aaj meri life ka ye aakhiri pal bhi hota toh mujhe koi gham nahi hota kyunki mujhe tum jo mil gaye.” Minni said looking into his eyes while Neil put his hand on her mouth to stop her saying anything like that. She removed his hand and kissed it.

TereDil Mein Meri Saanson Ko Panaah Mil Jaaye
Tere Ishq Mein Meri Jaan Fanaa Ho Jaaye

She lied in his lap as she continued humming the song.

JitnePaas Hain Khushbu Saans Ke
Jitne Paas Hothon Ke Sargam
Jaise Saath Hain Karvat Yaad Ke
Jaise Saath Baahon Ke Sangam
Jitne Paas Paas Khwaabon Ke Nazar
Utni Paas Tu Rehna Humsafar
Tu Jo Paas Ho Phir Kya Yeh Jahaan
Tere Pyar Mein Ho Jaaun Fanaa
Mere Haath Mein Tera Haath Ho Saari Jannatein Mere Saath Ho

Neil was caressing her hair. Moonlight was falling on two lovers but even it seems faded in front of the bright shine of their love. Neil couldn’t believe he has found a new reason to live, to paint, his inspiration was back again, the void in the heart was refilling. It all became overwhelming for him and tears started falling on their own. Minni tried to wipe them but Neil held her hand.

RoneDe Aaj Hamko Do Aankhen Sujaane De
Baahon Mein Lene De Aur Khud Ko Bheeg Jaane De
Hain Jo Seene Mein Qaid Dariya Woh Choot Jaayega
Hain Itna Dard Ke Tera Daaman Bheeg Jaayega

Minni kissed him again. She first kissed on his forehead then on eyes and cheeks then slowly she took his lips in hers. She was conveying how much she loves him through her actions and Neil keep basking in her love.

JitnePaas Paas Dhadkan Ke Hain Raaz
Jitne Paas Bundon Ke Baadal
Jaise Saath Saath Chanda Ke Hain Raat
Jitne Paas Nainon Ke Kaajal
Jitne Paas Paas Saagar Ke Lehar
Utne Paas Tu Rehna Humsafar
Tu Jo Paas Ho Phir Kya Yeh Jahaan
Tere Pyar Mein Ho Jaaun Fanaa
Mere Haath Mein Tera Haath Ho Saari Jannatein Mere Saath Ho

Neil looked into her eyes which were conveying the same emotions right now. He could read them.

Adhoori Saans Thi Dhadkan Adhoori Thi Adhooren Hum
Magar Ab Chaand Poora Hain Falak Pe Aur Ab Pooren Hain Ham

Two lovers were lost in each other when they heard some voices outside the haveli. “I think there are people outside. Lets see whats going on.” Neil stood up from his place but Minni held his hand. She looked terrified. “Dont go Neil, Please be with me....for some more time...please.” She pleaded.

“Neil babu, kya aap haveli ke andar hain? Jaldi bahar aa jaiye, chudail aap par hamla kar sakti hai.” Someone shouted from outside and Neil could recognize the voice, he was Kartar.

Neil stood up again to go outside but Minni again stopped him. “Neil, please stay, for few more seconds. I dont have much time. Please be with me.” Minni begged.

“What are you saying Minni? You have to go somewhere or what? And why are you crying?” Neil asked getting worried.

“Neil babu, agar aap hamari baat sun sakte hain to jaldi bahar aa jaiye. Aapki jaan ko khatra ho sakta hai chudail se.” Kartar shouted again.

“Mujhe to lagta hai chudail ne unpar hamla kar diya hai. Shayad wo mar chuke hain. Bahut ho gaya is chudail ka aatank. Ek aur bhale aadmi ki jaan le li. Main to kehta hoon is haveli ko aag laga dete. Kissa jad se hi khatam.” One villager suggested and others agreed.

Neil heard them. “Minni, leave me or else they will set fire to this place. Let me clear their misunderstanding. I have to go.”

“No....” Minni cried helplessly. “Minni, ok why dont you come with me too?” Neil suggested.

“I...cant...” Minni managed to say somehow. “Ok, then leave me. I’ll come back within few minutes. I promise.” Neil said and kissed Minni on forehead. She closed her eyes to savour the moment because she knew it will be her last kiss. Neil wanted to ask why she was crying? Why she cant come with him outside but right now he quickly needed to take a decision as villagers were about to set fire to the haveli.

Neil rushed outside and villagers saw him. They stopped in their tracks. “Kartar, ye sab kya hai? Tum sab log yaha aur tumhe kaise pata chala main yaha hoon?” Neil asked.

Neil babu, you were not coming to the village from some days. You didn’t inform anyone of us that you are leaving. We all were worried for you. So I went to your hotel and made inquiry. From there we came to know that you were coming to this haveli since some days. Why Neil babu? I had already warned you about the chudail then why you risked your life? Thank God that nothing has happened to you.” Kartar answered.

“Offo, Kartar...and all of you also listen. You can see me here right? I am alive. I am coming here since few days but nothing has happened to me. There is no chudail in there. Its all rumours.” Neil explained.

“But then, those incidents and deaths? That shadow and singing of a girl?” one villager asked

“They were all some kind of accidents, fights which resulted in the deaths and that girl...You all will laugh when I will tell you the truth. The girl is not some chudail but a normal human being like us. She is Manreet Kaur from Delhi and just like me she has come here to unwind. Like me she heard the story of this haveli and came here out of curiosity. She liked the peaceful environment so she started doing her singing practice here. Thats all. No bhoot and chudail.”

“What did you say?”Kartar asked. He looked terrified.

“Exactly what you heard. She is a simple girl not some chudail.” Neil replied.

“No, not that...you said her name....whats her name?” Kartar asked again.

“Manreet Kaur.” Neil answered.

Kartar looked horror struck and so the other villagers. They all looked at one another not knowing what to say.

“What happened to all of you? Why you all are silent and why you are looking at me like this?” Neil asked in confusion.

“The chudail, I mean the girl who committed suicide in this haveli...her name was Manreet kaur.” Kartar explained.

Neil was shocked was an understatement. He felt someone slipped the ground under his feet. “What nonsense? And it may be a coincidence also.” Neil said to villagers but as if he was trying to convince himself more.

“This is not a coincidence. There is a chudail in this haveli and seems like she has marked you. She would have killed you but thank God we all came in time. Now lets go from here, we are setting fire to this haveli.” Kartar urged him and pulled him aside. He instructed some of the fellow villagers to bring oil and fire lamp.

Neil couldn’t react for sometime. He was lost in thoughts. He remembered how Mini was strange and different from other girls. How she said multiple times that she can feel the pain and loneliness of this haveli. How she named the girl in her story as Manreet, her own name and how she use to disappear at the end of the day always and lastly how she told him that she had suffered the same fate like the Manreet of story. Does it means villagers are right? Neil came out of his thoughts when villagers started to throw oil on the haveli from all sides.

“No, stop it. Mini...she is inside. She will get hurt.” Neil shouted and tried to run inside but Kartar caught him.

“Samajhne ki koshish karo sahib...waha chudail hai.” Kartar tried to explain.

“Agar aisa hai to main apni aankhon se dekhne ke baad hi yakeen karunga.” Neil said and pushed Kartar away. Neil ran inside the haveli.

“Let go of him. He is a fool. He has endangered his life knowingly but we cant let this continue anymore. That chudail will be finished today only with this haveli once and for all.” Villagers told Kartar and set fire to the haveli.

“Minnii, where are you? Minni....” Neil kept shouting running here and there in the haveli searching for Mini frantically but he couldnt see her anywhere.

He saw villagers have put fire to the haveli and it was burning from all sides. Large flames threatening to engulf everything inside them.

“Minni, please come to me. Where are you?” Neil shouted again. He moved towards the closed room thinking Mini could be there. He kicked the door open and went inside. He couldn’t see Mini there but suddenly a gust of wind came from no where when he was about to go back. He closed his eyes and when he opened them, an old painting caught his attention which had come flying in his way due to strong wind. Neil leaned down to pick it up. It was dirty. He wiped it with his hands and was shocked.

Neil couldn’t believe what he was seeing. It was Minni’s painting. But it was very old. She was dressed in villager’s attire and traditional jewellery. Neil’s hand started shaking as he read the information about the painting written at the below.

“Manreet kaur, 1859, painted by Brian George”

Neil remembered Mini telling him that british officer used to live here was also a painter and she has seen here the painting of a village girl which she believed to be the same girl who was in love with the officer.

Neil felt like he is losing his mind. Everything started to revolve around him. He felt like the world around him was collapsing and before he could have understand anything he collapsed on the ground.

By now the haveli had caught huge fire. Villagers started thinking that probably Neil is also dead inside there. The chudail killed him and if not then this fire will be eating him alive soon. The fire was so fierce that nobody dared to go inside to save him.

Neil was lying unconscious on the floor when he felt someone was caressing his forehead and urging him to get up. Neil slowly opened his eyes to see Minni was caressing his hairs.

He stood up and sat straight at once. He looked at her with questioning eyes. She was crying. He couldn’t tell the difference whether there were happy tears in her eyes or sad.She looked both at the moment.

“Mini....you...are the villagers right? This painting...tell me....tell me just once that its not true....you are not...some ghost...you are real...my reality.” Neil pleaded.

Mini just kept crying without saying anything. She stood up and Neil followed her. Neil called her out but she didn’t stop. Neil ran and held her hand but to his utter shock he couldn’t touch her this time. His hand passed through her like she was some hologram. Neil looked up at her and she saw now Mini was up in the air, there was an aura of light around her.

“Its true my love, I dont belong to this world anymore. I am the same Manreet who died long ago. Died but couldn’t go away from here, couldn’t achieve freedom from this world because my one and only wish of getting true love was unfulfilled. I was shackled due to this unfulfilled wish into this world and my soul was bearing torture everyday. Since more than 150 years I was roaming aimlessly in this place. Waiting for my one true love, waiting for someone, to come and set me free. I had lost my hopes over the years but then you came. You accepted me for what I am with my past. You didn’t judge me, you promised to love me for eternity. I got what I wanted, the love for which I always craved for, for which I gave up my life. Now that I have got it, I have no purpose to be here anymore. I have to go now.” Mini told him everything.

“No, no, no...you cant go like this....you cant leave me Minni, please. Think about me. How will Ilive without you. No, this cant be happening.” Neil cried desperately trying to stop her.

“I cant...I cant stay even if I want to. I have to go. But always remember that I loved you more than anyone else in this world.” Minni told him as she once again took up material form coming down and hugged him one last time.

Neil tightened his grip around her shaking his head in no, not letting her go away. “I cant live without you. You were the one who gave me my inspiration back now dont snatch it away from me again. My mom left me, at least you dont go please. I will be dead from inside. I will not be able to paint again.”

“No, you have to be strong. Your mom believed in your talent, I believe in your talent. You cant disappoint us both. You have to rise again and shine upon this world. Remember what I told you? Only your mom died but you are still alive. So you have to live your life. My love will always be with you but you have to live your life and fulfil all your dreams.” Minni tried to explain him.

“Your wish has fulfilled so you are going but what about me? You are leaving me alone in this world. I wont be able to see you again, feel you again....dont do this to me. You are not free to go. You are bound with my love and you have to respect it.” Neil said desperately when he felt Minni is going away from him. Her hand was slowly slipping away from his grip. No matter how hard he tried to hold her back but she was going away. She rose up in air again.

“The God who granted me my wish is not that cruel. He cannot leave your love unfulfilled. He cant leave you alone. Tumhe apne hisse ka pyar jarur milega.” Minni said as went up and up in air with that strong aura of light.

“But when...how...?”Neil asked.

“I dont know that. But our love was true....for its sake I will come to you again...

Main Tenu Fer Milangi
I will meet you again

Kithe? Kis trah? Pata nahi

Main Hor Kuch nahi Jaandi
Par Ena Jaandi
Ae Jism Mukkda hai
Tan Sab Kuch Mukk janda
Par Cheteyan dey Dhaage
Kaayenaati Kana dey Hunde
Main unha kana nu chunagi
Dhageyan nu walangi
Te tenu main fer milangi

These were Minni’s last words before she disappeared before Neil’s eyes forever from this mortal world.

Neil didn’t understand the language in which she said those words. But like his heart understood her feelings. It was like a promise, assurance that he will also have his one true love back in his life. He cant go back to depression again as it would be an insult to his love, his Minni and her promise. He didn’t know when he will be going to have his love back in his life and how and in which form. But he decided to honour his promise to her, promise that he will live his life. He will rise and shine again and fulfil all his dreams. He wiped his tears and walked out of the haveli which was now burnt completely.

Villagers were shocked to see him alive and coming scathe free from such a wild fire. It was nothing short of a miracle.

Kartar ran to him.“Thank God! Neil babu aap sahi salamat hain. Hume to laga ki chudail ne aapko maar diya.” Karta said.

“Shut up! Just shut up you fool. She was not a chudail. Get this thing straight in your ugly mind.” Neil shouted.

Kartar and the villagers were taken aback with the outrage. What are you saying? Didnt we prove you that she was a ghost?” some villagers asked.

“Yes, she was not of this world. But she was not some chudail. She was a pure soul. Forget about murdering or torturing someone, she could not have even thought about harming any innocent because thats how she was....full of love.” Neil answered and then told them in detail how he met Minni. What all she shared with him. What were the reason behind all those incidents and she didn’t do any harm to anyone. How tortured soul she was. What she had gone through in her life. How she longed for true love.

“Kitna aasan hota hai na saara ilzaam ek ladki par daal dena. Use galat maan lena, uske bare mein rai bana lena. Jeete jee to kisine use samajhne ki koshish ki nahi lekin bechari Minni ko marne ke baad bhi chudail aur na jane kya kya keh kar bulate rahe. Chudail aur bhoot hain..lekin aapke dimag mein, sade hui soch ke, jo aaj bhi aapko jakde hue hain.” Neil said the bitter truth with the look of pity and hatred for these people and they had nothing to say except feeling ashamed as a society.
