"King of my world"
Part_2
Baldev left the house and went to the surpunch office. The panchas
were just puppets and did nothing but say yes to all of his orders
and with the villagers being so poor and mute there was hardly
anything to do. He just sat idly and watched tv or played on his
phone. His life lacked a motive, an aim, a reason. He had everything
anyone desired but he was completely empty.
After spending 2 hours in the office he left it and drove out of the
village. He no longer owned that red small jeep, he drove the brand
new land cruiser now.
He stopped the car just a few kilometers away from pritampura,
and reclined his seat, the weather was clear but cloudy and cool
breeze blew..he opened the window and relaxed with his eyes
closed, to settle the storm inside him. After a few minutes he heard
a voice coming from near by..
Voice; oye ruko..menu aage tak nhi chod skte..are ye kya batameezi
he..oye mere samaan nu aise na phenk..ruk oye.
Baldev opened his voice and looked in the direction of the voice, he
saw a bus driving away and a girl throwing stones at it.
Girl: bhad me jao..tumhara tyre puncture hojaye. Huh!..
she bend to collect her luggage and now her voice was inaudible.
Baldev moved out of his car and moved towards her with slow
steps.
The girl picked her purse and stood up and then turned. Baldev's
jaw dropped, she was still the same yet so different, she still had
the mischievious look on her face yet she looked sober, she was still
bubbly and chubby yet so pretty. Her hair were floating with the
speed of the air and some came on her face which she moved.
Baldev to himself "Veera" he said slowly, his voice suddenly changed
and he had a brief smile on his face which he completely lost five
years back. He recalled all of their fights of childhood and the
naughtiness in him returned and now he walked gracefully towards
her.
Baldev; ki hoya? beech raste which utar diya tenu...bechari..pr wo
bhi ki karen..ab delhi se yahan tak tenu jhella wo kya kam tha..aur
sehen shakti nhi hogi un me.
Veera looked at him and her cheeks got all red.
Veera; oye..wo na gadhe hen..jhel to me rhi thi unhe..aur tenu kyun
bura lag rha he..bewaqoof.
No one even dared to call him bad words even in private and she
did it with ease without making him mad with anger,
Baldev; han han dikh rha he kis ka samaan phenka gaya
Veera; oye tu chup kr..aur chal ab meri madat nhi karega ki?
Baldev; me kyun karun teri madat..kabootri
Veera; tu pind da puttar he na..to karni padegi madat..menu
surakshit mere veerji k paas pohnchana ab teri zimedari he kyunki
tujhe Rabjee ne isi waste bheja he ithe..wrna tu is sunsaan sadak pe
ki karne aya he zara bta
Baldev thought about it, maybe she was right and he was here for
her, the road was deserted and dangerous for an unaccompanied
girl. He took her luggage and walked towards his jeep
Veera; oye tu mera samaan chura ke kahan ja rha he?
Baldev turned with an irritated look.
Baldev; tenu ghar nhi jana ki? ya phir saman yahin chod ke jane ka
irada he? chal ab
Veera ran to accompany him, and when he stopped near to his car
and opened the back door to keep her luggage
Veera; ae kis ki gaadi he?
Baldev: (irritated again) tere baap ki..upar se bheji he..delhi me
padhne hi gai thi bas pr he abhi bhi tu wahi jahil veera..faltu sawal
khatam nhi huye tere.
Veera; oye faltu sawal nhi hote mere smjha
Baldev; beth ab dimag khrab na kr mera.
They sat inside and he started the jeep, Baldev had not spoken like
this since the past 5 years, he was only rude to others ,his
naughtiness and playfulness was long lost and it felt so refreshing
to have that out.
Veera; wese tune koi kaam dhanda shuru kiya ya abhi tak vella he?
Baldev smiled
Baldev; sabar kr jald hi pta chal jayega tenu ke me kya krta hun aur
mera kaam kitna wada he
Veera; acha! wade kaam aur tu (she laughed)
Baldev; has le baad me pachtayegi
Veera; chal vekhte hen.
They entered the pind and everyone greeted him. Veera was
confused. He stopped infront of her house and unloaded her
luggage.
Veera; andar chal na
Baldev; nhi tu ja menu kuch kaam he
Veera; kaam aur tujhe? (he made an angry cute face) acha maan leti
hun (she laughed)..thanks
Baldev; me chalta hun
she waved him goodbye as he reversed his car and left.
Veera went inside
Veera; surprise!
Nobody was at home, she was disappointed
Veera; kahan gaye sab ke sab? Chaiji bhi nhi ghar pe..
she was shocked to see the condition of the house, only walls and
no furniture.
Veera; ae ghar ko ki hogaya he?
she looked everywhere and was unable to understand the situation.
At last she was tired and sat on the stairs and resting her head on
her purse she fall asleep.
****************
Baldev reached his house and saw Ratan dusting, Chaiji was cutting
vegetables.
Baldev; aap dono ghar jao..aap ki chutti. Aur ranvi nu bhi le jaiye ga
keh dijiyega mene chutti di hai
Ratan and Chaiji were shocked. Bansuri who was eating fruits heard
this too.
Bansuri; kyun? abhi in dono ne bohot kaam krna he safai kapde
dhone hen istri krne hen aur abhi ka khana raat ka khana saare
bartan..kon krega ye sb?
Baldev; bas bg me keh rha hun na..chutti di he to di he..aap k liye to
koi bhi kaam krdega kisi aur ko bulwa lo
Bansuri; pr puttar
baldev; bg mera sir dukh rha he me sone ja rha hun..aap kisi aur nu
bulwa lo..aur aap dono jaiye
Ratan and Chaiji left.
Baldev went to his room and lay down.
Baldev; koi to aya mujhse taqar lene wala..wrna zindagi se maza hi
khtam hogya tha. Is jungle ka aqela sher tha me..meri sherni agai.
he smiled again as he recalled all their past.
