"King of my world"
Part_15
Veera was quiet again, Baldev brought some food for her and Chaiji,
she sat quietly on the cot with her legs up, her arms holding them.
Her eyes were dry now, she had cried alot no more tears were left
in her system. Baldev took some soup in a bowl and sat beside her.
Baldev; veera, chal mun khol, dekh tere waaste garma garm soup
laya hun, dekh na veera, o tu ki kehti he ise..chicken caarn soup, le
pi
he moved the spoon close to her lips, she didn't respond, she didn't
even move or raise her eyes, she was seldom blinking.
Baldev looked at Chaiji, Chaiji sat down with her on the otherside.
Chaiji; cheechdi, dekh na kinna wadhiya soup he, chal fatafat pi le
meri achi bachi he na, chaiji ki baat manegi na.
She still didn't respond, her world had turned upside down, she had
turned into a stone for now, and baldev knew he had to break it to
get his lively Veera back. He was unable to see her this way, he
knew she must be very hungry by now, he put the bowl aside and
moved out, he hit the pillar with his wrist and stood by it not facing
Veera, his eyes got tears, his heart ached, his soul burned. Today he
realized that the pain he felt when everybody left him alone was
nothing compared to this, Veera's every tear was a direct stab to his
heart, her silence was like someone was crushing all his bones at
once, her sad face was like lava being poured on him. He put a hand
on his heart and closed his eyes, the pain was too much to bear,
how and when did he fell so deepy in love with her, he wondered,
she was not with him for 15 yrs and before that he hated her alot
and was a kid to think of anything of this sort, and in just these few
days, how did she become a part of his soul, so much that her pain
almost killed him. He opened his eyes and looked at his reflection in
the mirror, King of Pritampura, so helpless for the first time, he did
not feel this weak even when he didn't have a single penny in his
pocket, not when his father disowned him, not when the village
people made fun of him and acussed him, he was a lion, he
overcame and fought with everything, but right now he just couldn't
do anything, he couldn't change the fact that Veera was a
illegitimate child, that she was an orphan, and the people she loved
the most had accused her of being characterless and had been so
harsh on her. Anger, frustration and pain were taking the best of
him, he wanted to burn everything, destroy everything and he
wanted to see all those suffering badly becuase of whom his Veera
was hurt.
Chaiji was observing him, she could see in his eyes that Veera's pain
was hurting him more than Veera herself, she had him atleast but he
had no1 to cry on, to share the pain, to feel loved. Chaiji tried to
talk but then held herself back, she knew his pain was too much to
share with her, she held Veera's hand and shook her a bit.
Chaiji; (she spoke very slowly so that baldev was unable to hear, he
was standing at quiet a distance and was already in a battle with his
inner self to hear anything) Veera, ubhar ja puttar, apne liye na sahi
to Baldev ke liye, dekh uski ore ek dafa, toot chuka he wo, puttar
wo pehle se phikra hua he, aur tera dard use kabhi simatne nhi
dega, apne dard se ziada teri taqleef se taqlleef hti he use, itna
haara hua, itna lachar, itna bebas mene ise aaj tak nhi dekha, veera
tu sun rhi he na, veera uth ja uske paas, Rab ne tum dono ko dard
diya he pr us dard se ladne ki shakti tum dono me akele nhi ek sath
ladoge to har jung jeet jaoge, uth meri cheechdi niqal ja is sadme
se, sherni he na tu, to uth, niqal ja in sab bandhanon se aur apne
baldev ko bhi niqaal le.
Veera raised her eyes and saw him, he was still staring at his
reflection and was broken. She could feel the pieces shattering, she
stood up and walked towards him, and took the bowl of soup with
herself.
Veera; (putting a hand on his shoulder) soup thanda hogya he, menu
garam garam soup peena he baldev
Her voice put life into his deaf ears, her touch extinguished the fire
that was burning his soul, he turned to face her, and his face
lightened up on seeing her back to being herself, if not completely
atleast slightly. He hugged her tightly and she hugged him back, the
soup bowl fell from her hand, and both had tears in their eyes
again, they finally led all the pain out of themselves, and decided to
live for each other and not anyone else, they didn't speak but their
hearts were connected and spoke for them. Chaiji wiped her tears
and left the house to give them privacy.
The hug was too tight, Baldev closed his eyes to feel her completely
and absorb her feeling in. He wanted to tell her how much he loved
her but their were not words to describe, but she knew, she could
feel how destroyed his soul was and how her feel healed it. And she
wanted to heal him completely, he was already in pieces and now
because of her those pieces were scattered, she had to coolect them
all and join them, she had to heal him, and that would heal herself
too. She broke the hug and smiled.
Veera; mera soup kithe he oye, menu bohot bhook lagi he, mere bait
me gol..
Baldev; goldie bubbly pappoo suman, yehi sab bol rhe hen na
Veera nodded, and then she raised her feet to meet his height and
kissed him on the lips, he kissed her back with full force, grapping
her waist with one arm and entangling his fingers in her hair with
the other hand. They kissed all their worries and tension out, they
kissed from all their love, there was no stopping, the passion
increased so much that they didn't realize when they hit the cot and
fell on it, but that didn't stop them, he was above her and still
kissing, her hands on held his kurta tightly and in the movement she
tore it a little, her own clothes were not in place, they were
breathless and tired, fatigue building up but unstoppable, and then
from somewhere Ratan's words rang in veera's ears, her comparison
with her own mother, she opened her eyes and pushed Baldev. They
both were hyperventilating now, he lay beside her , veera was not
ashamed, she was sure of Baldev, she loved him and she was
completely his and he was hers, there was no going back, no
possibilty of regretting this decision, she couldn't believe that they
had just confessed a few hours ago and now it felt like they had
been in this relation for years, she knew she has not committed a
crime, they had full control over themselves, and were only trying to
share their pain and decrease it. they both smiled as they looked at
eachother, they both had finally got rid of their worries and were
now just for each other.
Baldev; tu sirf meri hai na
Veera; haan sirf aur sirf teri
Baldev kissed her forehead and they hugged again..Baldev got her
food later they fed each other and laughed, Chaiji made an excuse
of being with a friend and decided to come home late. After dinner
Baldev and Veera sat together and just held hands, veera leaned on
his shoulder his arm around her, and they didn't know when sleep
came, and both fell into it in that stitting position.
*********************
Ranvi was feeling bad now, he had never raised his voice on Veera
before and now he raised his hand, he hated himself, he should
have trusted her he thought, he should have known better, how can
he doubt his own upbringing, and even Baldev would never do such
a thing he knew, he felt gulity and hurt, he wanted to apologize and
bring Veera back. Ratan was fast asleep, she was finally relieved
that Veera was out.
Ranvi; menu veera ko dhund ke us se maafi maangni hi hogi..aur use
ghar laana hoga.
Ranvi left the house to search for Veera.
