CHAPTER-7
Abhi na jaao chodhkar,
Ke dil abhi bhara nahi...
Abhi na jaao chodhkar,
Ke dil abhi bhara nahi...
Abhi-abhi toh aayi ho,
Bahaar banke chaayi ho,
Hawaa zara mehek toh le,
Nazar zara behek toh le,
Ye shaam dhal toh le zara,
Ye dil sambhal toh le zara...
Main thodi deir jee toh loon,
Nashe ke ghoont pee toh loon...
Abhi toh kuch kaha nahi,
Abhi toh kuch suna nahi...
Abhi na jaao chodhkar,
Abhi dil bhara nahi...
"Sonakshi, tum jaane ki baat kyu kar rahi ho... Abhi tumhe yahan aaye hue hua hi kitna time hai... Tum itni jaldi kaise jaa sakti ho?", Dev had held Sonakshi's wrist when she was leaving for her parents' home the night when she had revealed about her failed marriage...
Sonakshi immediately drifted her eyes towards her wrist where he held her firmly... She immediately looked around the compound to which lead the exit out of the house, where they were standing; making sure if anybody around the house saw them, and made a ruckus about them yet again... Nobody was around, she heaved a heavy breath... "Mr. Dixit, mera haath chodiye..."
"Dev! Mera naam... Usi se bulaao." Dev insisted her to call him by his name...
"Nahin... Kyu bulaaun? Aap hain kaun mere? Boss! And boss ko naam se bulaayein, ye zaroori nahi..."
"Kuch aur ho ya na hoon, tumhara dost toh zaroor hoon..." Dev's hand was firmer holding her slim wrist in his large hands...
"Aap mere dost nahin hain..." Sonakshi defied.
"Par tum toh meri dost ho na... Meri best friend... Aur main apni best friend ko aise nahi jaane dunga..." Dev's eyes were challenging...
"Aap mere saath zabardasti nahin kar sakte Mr. Dixit... Aap mere koi nahin hain..." Sonakshi tried pulling her wrist from his grip...
"Achha? Toh theek hai, meri aankhon mein dekhke bolo that main tumhara koi nahin hoon... Dost bhi nahin... Tumhe mere hone ya nahi hone se koi farq nahi padta..." Dev was rebellious.
She looked in his eyes almost challengingly, her face contorted in slight irritation for him being such persistent. The lights in the compound and the street lampposts shone bright and sparkled his angry light brown orbs that were his almond shaped eyes; the first thing she always observed about him... They were such frustratingly engaging eyes that you could look in them unblinking for minutes at end... Right now, she was captured a prisoner in them yet again and long forgot the challenge she had accepted... With her eyes tangled with his sight, and her tongue tied, she had proven Dev's point right... She could not utter even sensible words out of them, talking this nonsense of being nobody to each other was a far forgotten thought.
"Point proven? Ya aur behes karni hai?" Dev asked asked breaking her trance...
Sonakshi was embarrassed ... Dev had left her wrist that she caressed in a futile attempt to forget the ever-lasting sensation of his touch... She started moving when he asked- "Tumhari scooty kahan hai?"
"Cab se aayi hoon... Main filhaal scooty nahi use kar rahi..." Sonakshi told him walking...
"Toh main car se chodh deta hoon na ghar", Dev pulled his car keys from his pant pockets...
"Nahi Dev... Please mujhe car se mat drop keejiye... My parents are still sensitive about my divorce... I don't want to have them any more discomfort seeing your car dropping me..." Sonakshi had held at his forearm to stop him...
"But, I can't leave you to go alone at this night in a cab... I wanted to drop you... Tumse baatein karni thi..." Dev's face fell...
"How about we walk and talk till my lane, and then main apne ghar chali jaaungi, aur aap apne ghar wapas aa jaaiyega... Is it fine?" Sonakshi asked tentatively...
Though a smile broke on Dev's face, but suddenly a shudder ran through his body... He could still vividly remember the accident that almost had taken Sonakshi's life the first time they had walked back to her home...
"Kya soch rahe hain aap? I hope aapko ye nahi lagta ki main abhi bhi road ke beech mein chalungi and koi car aake mujhe takkar maar degi? Zindagi ko jitne dhakke dene they, de diye Mr. Dixit... Ab maine Dhoop ke kinaaron par chalna seekh liya hai... Chalein?" Sonakshi spoke ruefully and them smiled at him assuringly.
Sitaare jhilmila uthe,
Charaag jagmaga uthe,
Bas ab na mujhko tokna...
Na badhke raah rokna,
Gar main ruk gayi abhi,
Toh jaa na paaungi kabhi,
Yahi kahoge tum sadaa,
Ke dil abhi nahi bharaa...
Jo khatam ho kisi jagah,
Ye aisa silsila nahi...
Abhi nahi abhi nahi...
Nahi nahi, nahi nahi...
Abhi na jaao chodhkar,
Ke dil abhi bharaa nahi...
"Sonakshi, why don't you give yourself a new start? Tum aise kaise bhaagti rahogi, aur kab tak?" Dev asked, as they walked on the road, Sonakshi towards the end side of the road, and Dev on her side towards the main traffic of the road making sure she is not subjected to any vehicle coming and harming her this time, being super cautious.
"Pata nahi Dev. I am not bitter towards my life, but I am rather confused and astounded at my fate... Maine humesha maa-baba ki obedient child bane rehne ki koshish ki, I tried doing the best in my studies, I worked towards my profession with utter loyalty, I loved you with all my heart, I contributed to my marriage with utmost dedication; mujhse ghalti kahan ho gayi Dev? Mere saath hi aisa kyu hua?" Sonakshi was dragging her feet with being tired of life, lethargy in every step...
"Sonakshi, as to your parents, your education and your profession, they never left you, nor they cheated on you... Your parents have always found the best for you, and trust me, they would be broken to manifolds seeing your broken marriage than you have ever felt. They would have regretted every moment when they had cajoled you into marrying... They must be silently shedding some tears in the corner of the house seeing this lost look on your face. Do you think it is easy for them either?" Dev explained to her, walking, his hands in his pocket.
Sonakshi kept on looking down on the road and walked, while nodding on to what he was saying... Tired she was, shattered are her parents; what her life was leading her to, these straight roads are not a symol of her life- straight and forward. Her life is of the hill and stoop and a retarded vehicle that she travelled on, two steps she moved forward, and ten steps her life went back...
"But Sonakshi, as far as I and your ex-husband are concerned, if you lost your love and husband, they too lost you, and people like us cannot do anything more than sitting at the bar counter sipping at a hard drink punishing ourselves for the mistakes we committed, for the loss we have purposefully done to ourselves, and as many times we beg before you for forgiveness, it is never enough... And I truly want to say Sonakshi, that I am extremely sorry, from the bottom of my heart... Will you forgive me?" Dev was sincerely sorry...
Adhoori aas chodhke,
Adhuri pyaas chodhke,
Jo roz yuhi jaaogi,
Toh kis tarah nibhaaogi,
Ke zindagi ki raah mein,
Jawaan dilon ki chaah mein,
Kayi makaam aayenge,
Jo Humko aazmaayenge,
Bura na maano baat ka,
Ye pyaar hai gila nahi...
Yahi kahoge tum sadaa,
Ke dil abhi baharaa nahi...
Nahin-nahin-nahin-nahin...
"I never kept any grudge against you Dev. I have long forgiven you... But the harsh memories are too hard to forget. And as much as I try to forgive than the bare necessary measures of curing my bitterness, I can't do it... I am too disturbed to understand clearly... I need to sort..." Sonakshi explained a piece of her messy thoughts... A lot was conjuring in her mind and she didn't know how to assemble them into place...
"Can I do anything to help you forgive me?" Dev asked hopefully.
"If you really want to, for the first step, stop playing these mixed emotion things with me... You keep on switching between being my boss, friend and ex-lover, and I find it really confusing to sort everything in my head, the messed up that I am... You are my boss until I am your mother's doctor. Just stay that way only... I don't want your maami playing a detective after me, if I am again trying to catch the fish that you are..." Sonakshi was crisp and to the point to him...
"But Sonakshi... Main tumse..." Dev wanted to explain...
"To you, I am Dr. Bose!" Soankshi threw daggers at him for not understanding what she had been meaning to explain since.
"Okay, Dr. Bose, until when?" Dev wanted to ask if he will ever be bailed out of the sentence she was giving him...
"Until, I am your mother's doctor... I don't want to mix up any relations..." Sonakshi spoke with finality.
"And after that? After you are done being my mother's nutritionist?" Dev tested waters.
"Then we will try to not cross each other's roads. I will try finding a new patient." Sonakshi ducked his question.
"And when we are no longer a boss and employee, will you think of our friendship or..." Dev asked...
"Mera ghar aa gaya hai Mr. Dixit... Thanks for the company." Sonakshi had cut him mid way, and giving him a good bye, she had disappeared in the lane to her house...
And he stood there clueless... Not as much though. He knew what he had to do!
