A JOURNEY OF LOVE
CHAPTER 1
Sahir and Arzoo were walking hand in hand with Ashrafi
still perched on his shoulder. None of them spoke a single word to
each other after they had left Niyamat House.They were in their own
world of thoughts. But their hearts were heavy with various
emotions. Arzoo had mixed emotions.She was happy that finally
Sahir has freed himself from all his promises and took the first step
for living a life of his own and to pursue his dreams. At the same time
she had an unexplainable sad feeling hovering around her . Ashrafi
gave a small peck on her ear bringing her back to the
senses.Darkness has started to spread but she could see ray of light
in it - Yes . We had done it .We are finally together . There is nobody
in between us . My Valentine's Day wish has come true . Ya khuda !
Aap ki lakh lakh shukriya!! Humari mohabbat hume vapas dene ki
liye!
Meanwhile Sahir was in a reverie
.We had walked out of Niyamat House.There will be lot of
satisfaction and happiness in our life ahead.I have no doubt in it.But
will there be any comfort? I had seen the adversity of life. I had coped
up with it. I know that even Arzoo has experienced the lower extreme
of life. But this one?Will she be able to make it?The context is
entirely different now . We don't have any job right now. What are we
going to do for living? I was the one who taught her that talent alone
is not sufficient to succeed .It requires Marketing and Brand name
too.What should I do now?Should I start a business? No.Right now I
don't have enough resources for it.Maybe for time being I should
look out for a job.Yes .That would be the better case in given
circumstances.
Ammi! I never thought she would do something like this . I
managed not to show any sorrow or hurt infront of Arzoo . But can I
pull it off?Oh! Come on Sahir! You can do it!.You had done this on
that night too when she was worried about your safety and woke up
screaming your name. Yes .I am brave enough to do this. After all
this is for MY Arzoo.
Arzoo turned her head to look at Sahir . Right hand was
in his pocket and the other hand was clasped with hers .Ashrafi was
perched on his left shoulder.His face was calm but grim . She could
see the boiling emotions behind his calm facade.He was walking on
the side of traffic-protecting her. I will not let him go through this
alone. 7 years back I was not with him but now -His Humsafar is
right here. I will heal all his wounds! She didn't know how to break
the silence brewing in between them.
"Mirchi!Mirchi!Mirchi!".Ashrafi was screeching.Sahir
plunged out of his thoughts and saw Ashrafi .Thank you Ashrafi she
thought to herself."Mohtarma ! Are you hungry?" .Sahir asked
Ashrafi with a wide grin on his face.He noticed Arzoo staring at him
and asked her " Are you hungry too? ". Arzoo didn't know what to
say.She was really hungry but didn't have the urge to eat .In that
moment she heard a prayer from some dargah nearby. "Sa.."
"Suno!" interrupted his voice."Ji?"."Shall we go to dargah and
offer prayer before we have our dinner?Are you alright with
it?".Arzoo was more than happy."Ji!.Koi baath nahin"
Sahir and Arzoo entered the dargah.Arzoo had a
flashback running through her mind .It was the same dargah she had
gone to when he-The Shark had insulted her for requesting a day-off
for Linda. The meeting with Maulvi flashed."Tumari humsafar tumse
zyada dardh apne andhar chupaya hain" He was right afterall!.Even
after they came out of Niyamat house he still has traces of
pain,unsaid stories of his past, traumas of childhood ,an orphan tag
that haunted him-Maybe does it still haunt him?. "Wu-du karo!"
came his soft voice .It sounded like a different person was standing
beside her. She did her washing. Sahir tied a hand kerchief around
his head and Arzoo draped the duppata around her for praying.They
freed down Ashrafi in the courtyard and fed some grains. Both of
them entered the Prayer hall. Sahir knelt in the Men's row and Arzoo
in Women's row which was at a distance behind Men's row. She
closed her eyes and started praying. Meanwhile Sahir too started
praying .
Sahir and Arzoo came out of the Hall after their prayer and
took Ashrafi."Mirchi!Mirchi!Mirchi!".Ashrafi screeched into Arzoo's
ears."Now only you had grains and you started to ..."."Mohtarma!"
Sahir's voice cut hers."You need Mirchi?" asked Sahir with a
naughty smile."Arzoo aur Sahir ke liye paratha bhi".For a moment all
the stress flied out into air and he laughed . Arzoo too started
laughing heartily and he gave a peck in Ashrafi's beak.The Prayer,
divine aura around them and Ashrafi's antics gave them the much
needed sukoon.
"Beti!".Both of them turned towards the direction from
which the voice came.It was the same maulvi ."Salam walaikkum"
said SaAz in unison.
"Allah Tala aap dono ko salamat rakhega!.
Beti tume tumhara humsafar milgaya.
Meine kahata na dardh ki pukar mein dardh aaya hain.
Tum dono ki mohabbat ka safar aaj shuru ho raha hain.
Yeh safar bahut lambha hain.
Aur is safar mein Khuda aap ke saath dhega.
Har safar mein mushkilon hote hain.
Aur mushkilon ke baad chane aata hain.
Aap dono ki yeh safar me bhi mushkilon rasthe ki beech me aa jate hain.
Lekin aap dono ko un mushkilon se ladna hoga.
Yeh safar itne aasaan nahi hota.
Lekin aap ki mohabbat ke sahare usse ladna hoga.
Yeh aap ki pyaar ki imtehaan hain.
Jao! jaake yeh saabit karo ki aap dono ek dusra ke liye sachi humsafar hain ."
Sahir and Arzoo came out of the mosque with a fresh
lease of thoughts and purified souls.They had a silent dinner in a
nearby dhaba.They clasped their hands together even more tightly
than before and started to walk towards the railway staton."Two
tickets for Lucknow " asked Sahir in the counter with a newly found
determination and Arzoo admired him.Yes she could feel it-
The Shark is back!!
