Her heart starts racing with every footstep. She lowers her head in anxiety. The footsteps are not heard anymore. She knows Raman must be standing in his favourite place in his favourite position and looking at his favourite sight. She was right, indeed. Raman was standing at the threshold of their room folding his arms admiring her reflection in the mirror. But as she lifted her gaze to meet his eyes he looked away and walked to wards his wardrobe.
Aaj kuch nahi kaha Raman ne' she thought to herself. Shayad mujhe chidhaane ki koshish kar rahe hain' she consoled her heart.
Raman was frantically looking for something in the room. Bracelet dhoond rahe honge. Mai bhi unko ab chidati hun' she smirked. Her smirk turned into shock when Raman took out a large suitcase from the cupboard.
"Raman aap ye suitcase kyun nikal rahe hain?" she went closer and asked. He didn't bother to reply and went towards the wardrobe to take out his clothes.
"Raman hum apne purine ghar me wapas ja rahe hain kya?"
As if on cue his phone rang. "Tickets book hogaye? Mumbai ka service apartment khulwaya? Ab tak kya kar rahe the? Sham tak cleaning hojani chahye. Rath ko wahan pahunch raha hun" he yelled at his PA.
"Raman Mumbai jarahe ho? Koi conference hai kya? Itna bada suitcase kyun? Kitne din keliye jana hai?"
He had tried to avoid her questions. However he had to tell her that he was leaving so why not now he thought. "Hamesha keliye" he said avoiding to meet her eyes.
"Hamesha keliye? Aap apna base wapas shift kar rahe ho? Aapne bataya nahi" she was shocked.
"Aap bhi na Raman pehle nahi bata sakte the kya? Ab Ruhi ke school se TC wagahaira bhi lena padega. Ek din me to nahi milega. Mumbai me ache schools ki bhi talash karni padegi. Aap achanak se aise..."
"Ruhi sath nahi chal rahi"
"Kya?" she was not able to comprehend his actions. Her sane mind tried to alert her that something is wrong. But she was too happy today with the thought of confession that she ignored the signals and listened to her insane heart. Raman shayad kuch din mere sath akele waqt bitana chahte hain. Isiliye ye plan kiya hoga' her heart made a salsa on the very thought and she started picking her sarees from the wardrobe to keep in the suitcase.
She selected few Sarees and was placing it in the suitcase when Raman jerked them away.
"Ye kya tareeqa hua Raman? I know ke apko mere Sadiyon se allergy hai but bol bhi to sakte the ke Sadiyan na loon. Ek to aapne itni der se bola ke hum Mumbai jarahe hain. Ab mere paas itna time bhi nahi ken aye kapde khareedoon" she went on blabbering.
Raman clenched his jaw and tightened his fist. Her innocent excitement to spend time with him was making him weak. But he had to be strong and tell her right away that he is leaving her forever. "Mai akele jaraha hun"
"Akele? Par kyun? Aisa kya hogaya..." she could not complete her sentence.
"Bas karo. Tumhe samajh nahi atha ke mai tumse bath nahi karna chahta. Tumhari awaz mere kaanon me chubti hai" he yelled at her.
Kyun Na Bole Mose Mohan
Kyun Hai Roothe Roothe Mohan Yun
She trembled with fear. "Par Raman aap aise achanak? Mujhse koi galti hogayi kya? Aap kyun jarahe ho"
"Shanti chahye mujhe. Yahan mera dum ghut tha hai"
"Par aap mujhe chodke aise kaise ja sakte ho?"
"Meri zindagi hai. Mai jo chahe karun. Aur agar tum bhool gayi ho to yad dila dun, ye shadi humne sirf Ruhi keliye ki hai"
Kyun Na Bole Mose Mohan
Kyun Hai Roothe Roothe Mohan Yun
Kaise Manaaoon Haye
Kaise Manaaoon
"Haan magar ab sab kuch badal gaya hai na. Lifelong deal...seal..." she stuttered showing the ring in her hand.
"Kuch nahi badla hai. Ye deal bhi sirf Ruhi keliye kit hi. Ruhi tumhare bina nahi reh sakti isliye ye deal kiya tha. Ruhi ke wajah se mai ye rishta tod nahi sakta. Par mai tumhe aur bardasht bhi nahi kar sakta. Isliye jaraha hun. Please mujhe sukoon se rehne do" he folded his hands and walked off.
"Raman...Raman...meri bath to suniye" she tried to stop him when he banged the door and left.
She was shocked. She was shattered. She could not understand what is wrong.
Kyun Na Bole Mose Mohan
Kyun Hai Roothe Roothe Mohan Yun
Kaise Manaaoon Haye
Kaise Manaaoon
Mai akele jaraha hun' Hamesha keliye' his words kept ringing in her ears. How would she live without him?
Un bin kate na raina
Un bin aave na ik pal chaina
Un bin jiyoon to kaise main jiyoon haye
The tears that she had held so far started running down her cheeks.
Bahe naina bhare more naina jhare more naina
She tried to wipe them away. She tried not to cry. Something is amiss she tried to console her heart but her tears were adamant like her husband. They never stopped.
Mue naina sune nahi kehna bhare more naina
She ran towards the balcony expecting to stop him. he spotted him near the car. He was looking at her reflection in the side mirror. He turned back, their eyes met. A new hope rised in her. She wiped her tears and marched towards the parking lot.
Naino ke dwaare aane ke vaade
Baandhe aise bolo kaahe
"Ishita Puttar! Kahan jarahi hai"
She ignored her mother-in-law caling for her and ran as fast as she could to reach the parking lot only to find his car zooming off.
Chaukhat pe dil ki, aahat rakhi hai
Taakon pe hai tore saaye
She returned home in distress. "Ishita Puttar? Ki hoya? Sab theek to hai na?" asked Mrs.Bhalla out of concern.
"Kuch nahi Mummyji. Woh Raman kuch bhool gaye the. Wahi dene keliye gayi thi" what would she tell her the matter was, when she herself was unaware of it.
"Achha. Gal sun. Pammi ke dewar ke yahan Jagrat rakha hai. To usne humein bulaya hai. Tu chalegi kya?"
"Nahi Mummyji. Aap chaliye. Meri tabiyath kuch theek nahi lag rahi"
Mrs.Bhalla thought that she needed some time alone after the previous night's happenings "Koi gal nahi puttar. Tu aram karle. Kal rath bhi tu bahut pareshan thi. Chal aram karle. Khana waqt pe kha lena. Theek hai"
"Ji Mummyji" she tried to smile and went to her bedroom.
She tried to divert her attention. She started cleaning the already cleaned couch. When she reached to clean the bed, she saw the packed suitcase and her heart sank yet again.
Un bin unhe manaye
Un bin kabhi jo dil ko rijhaye
Un bin chhale hai mora ye jiya haye
Bahe naina bhare more naina jhare more naina
Mue naina sune nahi kehna bhare more naina
The ringtone of her phone brought her back from the reverie. She quickly grabbed her phone and spoke excitedly "Raman!"
"Mrs.Bhalla kabhi kabhi caller ID bhi check kar liya karo. Zaroori nahi har waqt apke Ravan Kumar ka hi call ho" she heard Mani teasing her on the phone. If it had been some other day her cheeks would have turned crimson by now, but today it only made way for fresh tears.
"Hell Ishu! Are u there? Raman ki yadon se bahar ajao madam"
"Haan Mani bolo"
"Aaj Raman ne mujhe Police station bulaya tha. Harassment case ke silsile me Param aur Suraj ko giraftar karwaya hai. Raman keh raha tha ke use kuch zaroori kaam hai to he has requested me to look into the case. Tumhe bas ye batana tha ke shayad tumhe ek bar police station ana padega"
"Theek hai Mani. Mai tumse badme bath karti hun"
Raman ne un donon ko giraftar karwa diya! It means Raman ko meri fikr hai. Wo zaroor mere sath koi Mazak kar rahe honge. Mujhe aise hi sata rahe hain" she tried to console her heart. Ek baar Raman se bath kar leti hun' she picked up her phone and dialed his number. No answer. She kept trying. After a while she found it switched off.
She tried his office number.
"Hello PSR! How can I help you?"
"Can I talk to Mr.Raman Bhalla please?"
"Sorry Ma'am! Sir ne kaha hai ke unhe disturb na karein"
"Mai Ishita kar rahi hu, unki wife. Aap please ek baar unse bath karwaiye"
"I am very sorry Ma'am. Sir ne strictly kaha hai ke unke ghar se koi bhi call aye to unhe na batayein. I am very sorry"
She was broken now.
Komal badi hai saansan ki dori
Roothan se bhi toot jaaye
Baavan tarah se jee ko manaya
Khoje ajahun tori raahein
What had she thought and what had transpired! She wanted to win his heart today but lost her own. She held his clothes close to her trying to feel his presence in it and broke down.
Un bin unhe main paaun
Un bin unhe main garva lagaun
Un bin unhi mein mora jee lage
Bahe naina bhare more naina jhare more naina
Mue naina sune nahi kehna bhare more naina
Her dream of confession, her anticipation was broken in such fashion that there was no compensation.
"Kyun Raman? Kyun kiya aisa? Kya sachmuch hamare beech kuch nahi badla? Kya aapko sach me farak nahi padta?"
Kya Raman ko farak nahi padta?
Keep tuned Dhun abhi baki hai.
