Chapter No 1:-It was raning heavily in Mumbai today. At the Mumbai university a boy was getting drenched closing his eyes. He was feeling every drop of rain felling on him. It was like he was all lost. He saw a girl's face. A smiling bright face. He had a small smile on his lips.
MachMach was a dear friend. He always had been. He was looking at his friend Raghu from far away. He had never seen him doing this before.
MachMach:- "lagta hai woh pagal hogaya!"
Amit who was busy at his mobile looked at him.
Amit:- "kon pagal hogaya bhai?"
MachMach:- "humara dost humara bhai.. Dekh toh us ki halat. Aj say pehlay woh kabhi campus mein is tarah nhn bheega.. Strange very strange..."
Amit:- "aray ho ga kuch... Chal uth.. Abhi bas reunion start hnay wala hai..."
MachMach and Amit grabbed their umbrellas and started to walk towards Raghu. He was so busy in enjoying the rain that he never knew what time it was.
MachMach tapped raghu's shoulders which brought him back to reality.
Raghu opened his eyes and looked at him.
MachMach:- "Tu theek hai na?"
Raghu:- "tujhay lagta hai woh ayai gi?"
MachMach:- "pata nhn dost.. Kuch keh nhn sakta matlab pehlay 4 5 saal say uskay baray mein kisi ko nhn pata. Ab woh kahan hai Kia kar rahi? Shadi..."
Raghu:- "rehne de bhai.. Tujhay q lagta us ki shadi hogai... Jab dekho shadi shadi.."
He said in an angry tune.
MachMach:- "dekh bhai common sense hai.. 4 5 saal hogayai usko college say gayai ho sakta hai kar li ho?"
Raghu was about to make a comment when Amit came.
Amit:- "boss Kia hua why fighting.."
MachMach:- "kuch nhn yaar chor.."
Raghu:- "Amit kahan tha tu?"
Amit:- "aray bhai bhook lagi thi. Tu toh bheega at mein busy tha toh I thought thoda sa hojayai..."
They went inside the auditorium.
Raghu was looking here and there. As in he was in search of someone.
MachMach:- "bhai Kia hogaya tujhay ab? Bas bhi karday!"
Raghu:- "yaar kuch nhn main restroom say aya."
MachMach:- "nhn bhai hum bhi sath chaltay hai q keh Tu jayai ha toh wapis nhn ayai ga dhondta rahay ga."
Amit:- "kisko dhonday ga yeh?"
MachMach:- "aray bhai kisko dhonday ga yeh aik hi toh hai!"
Amit:- "ohh acha tu aj yeh is tarah..."
Raghu:- "Bas Karo office say phone araha. Haan hello.. Officer Raghunath Naik here.. Hmmm... Okkk... Yes hum wahan atay hain. Chaliye ab chaliye.."
The three of them left from the campus. Raghu was turning and looking desperately till the last sight.
It was evening when Raghu came home. As he entered, he heard voices coming up from the drawing room. He tapped his forehead.
Raghu:- "aik Maa aur unkay boring dramas. Raghu beta is say pehlay Maa tumhay dekhay khisak lo."
He decided to sneak quietly. He reached near the stairs when his phone started ringing. He bit his tongue. Mrs. Naik got up and came out.
Mrs. Naik:- "Raghu tu agaya beta?"
Raghu picked up his phone by then and signaled her a minute excuse.
Raghu:- "Haan MachMach is waqt phone Kia kuch pata laga?"
MachMach:- "nhn bhai nothing.. Kuch nhn.."
Raghu:- "ok theek hai subah office mein miltay hain."
He hang up the phone and turned towards his mother.
Mrs. Naik:- "Tu aya kab? Chal mun hath dho lay main drawing room mein Khana lagati hoon sath khayai gain aur Mera aik last show rehta hai woh dekhay gain."
Raghu:- "Maa drawing room nhn.. Ap shows ka repeat par repeat dekhtay ho aur mujhay saas bahu walay dramas samajh nhn atay."
Mrs. Naik:- "chup kar yeh sachai dekhatay hain.. Chal ja kar fresh ho ja."
Raghu went up to his bedroom. It was a simple bedroom. Walls painted white. A bed, cupboard, a book shelf, a small dressing table, big white and blue curtains. It was simple bedroom. Raghu took a shower changed into a pyjama and t-shirt and came down.
Raghu sat in the drawing room. He switched the channel to news. After a few mints his mother entered. She kept the food on the table and took the remote.
Raghu:- "Maa laga rehnay do."
Mrs. Naik:- "chup kar mera serial araha hai bas phir main Aram say so sakti hoon."
Raghu gave a smile and started eating. He finished his food and laid his head in his mother lap. His mom started to caress him. As she finished the show she looked at Raghu who was lost in deep thoughts.
Mrs. Naik:- "Kia hogaya beta Tu theek hai?"
Raghu:- "haan Maa main theek hoon. Kuch nahin bas neend agai hai!"
Raghu got up and started to leave.
Mrs. Naik:- "Raghu sun!"
Raghu:- "Ji Maa Kia hua?"
Mrs. Naik:- "toh main phir unko haan kardo?"
Raghu turned and lifted his eyebrow.
Raghu:- "haan kinko? "
Mrs. Naik:- "woh Jahan main be woh ladki dekhi thi.. Dekh beta jitna time tu ne manga tha main ne dia. Balkeh us say bhi 2 mahiney zayada diyai.. Ab aur nahin main unko haan kar rahi hoon. Bas!"
Raghu heard this and felt angry.
Raghu:- "aik baat bataiye Kia itni jaldi hai Maa? Main usay dhond raha hoon. Please Maa..."
Mrs. Naik:- "beta Kia woh mili aj tak.. Usay 4-5 saal hogayai na koi uskay baray mein janta hai na suna hai kisi ne.. Ho sakta hai woh India mein hi nhn hai!"
Raghu:- "Kia Maa ap bhi.. Aik woh MachMach hai Jo kehta hai key uski shayad shadi hogai aur aik ap ho Jo kehti ho shahyad India mein hi nhn.. Ap logon ko meri khushi important hai ya nhn."
Raghu left in anger.
Mrs. Naik:- "Raghu baat sun beta.. Yahan aa.."
But before she got do anything he was gone.
Raghu came to his bedroom. He shut the door in anger. But this was more sadness than that of anger. His eyes were filled up with tears. He switched on a projector and sat quietly. All his white walls were filled up with a girl's picture. He went near and touched the girl's face. His life was empty like of those walls but this girl filled all the colors in his life.
Raghu:- "kahan ho tum? Maa mera rishta Tay kar rahi hai.. Aur tumhara kuch bhi nhn pata.. Kahan ho tum?"
Precap:-Raghu:- "kuch nhn hua Maa par bhoot sawar hai shadi karwanay Kia meri."
MachMach:- "Kia?"
Raghu:- "haan yaar aur..."
MachMach:- "array bhai yeh toh khushi ki baat hai."
Raghu:- "abhay chup bay antara Kay Ilawa kisi aur say shadi tu pagal hai!"
