'How are you"
She wanted to answer and also ask at the same time..ask what ? she didnt know..she simply nodded slightly.
"Whats your name?"
"Prachi" came the reply.."Prachi Shah"
"How are you feeling now prachi?"
What was she to say?She wanted to say that it feels as if someone placed a huge boulder on her head! She slowly found the source of sound and could see the familiar face of Dr.Gupta.
"Gupta Uncle..I....where am I.....why....."
"Sshhh..Prachi...dont panic beta...you are fine now and you are in my clinic..you just had a small accident.You will be fine"
He did not feel like saying at the moment that the "small accident" has indeed changed her life along with those who are attached to her.
The car accident was very bad and prachi had suffered a big head injury..its a miracle that she is still alive..he thought...the prayers of her loved ones were with her..but would she recognize them..he asked himself..maybe some questions are best when left for time to answer.
She still could not recollect why and when she had the accident that Gupta uncle was talking about.It was her birthday today.She should be in the Shah House not here..then why am i here..deeply immersed in her own thoughts she failed to take notice of a long slender figure approaching her.Dressed in total black he appeared as if he was starving from few days..his eyes reflected a strange sparkle on seeing prachi and a huge smile broke out of relief in his face.
"Prachi..........Prachi...." he murmured.
Startled by his presence prachi broke out from her thoughts and turned her head slightly to the visitor..
"Kaisi hai tu..tu ne tho meri jaan hi nikaal li..."
Who was this stanger who was talking as if he knew her from a long time?she had never even seen him before.....who was he?
"Aaap ....aap koun?"
"Prachi...main jaantha hoon ki tu mujhse naaraaz hai..lekin mujhe maaf kardo plzz"
"Aap koun?"
What was going on? She had an accident and both Neev and her family are not here.And here is a guy asking her forgiveness for something.She felt as if the whole room is spinning as her head hurt and she closed her eyes.
"Prachi....Prachi..Doctor ..prachi.."
"Milind..please calm down..i have seen evrything..Prahi is under heavy medication..dont worry..but i have to talk to you in private about something more important.." He said gravely.
"Aap koun?" her words echoed in his ears as he silently accompanied the doctor to his room with tears rolling down his cheeks.
"What?? yeh kaise ho saktha hai..tu jhoot bol raha hai....."he shouted while grabbing the collar of Dr.Gupta who stared back at him
"I know this would be difficult for you..but this is true..Prachi doesnt remember you"
"Yeh jhoot hai...yeh jhoot hai....." Milind said more to himself
"Milind..."DR.Gupta placed a hand on his shoulder.."its your duty to make Prachi remember everything..its your responsibilty to keep her happy and im sure with the kind of love you have for her..she will remember everything soon"
The words never reached Milind's ears..his world..his love..his everything..his Prachi..now doesnt even remember him?
Saala doctor jhoot bol raha hai..he thought to himself..meri Prachi mujhe bhool jaaye..aisa nahi ho saktha....shaayad woh mujhse naaraaz hai..meri galti ki is tarah se sazah dena chaahthi hai.....
He felt a hand on his shoulder.he turned back fiercely and shouted "yeh jhoot hai......" and stopped in his tracks seeing PremLatha.She asked him anxiously
"Beta..Prachi??"
"Woh teek hai maa..abhi so rahi hai..."
But the kind of look prachi gave him still haunted him..some where he felt that the doctor was right..
"Aap koun?......" he closed his ears tightly.he couldnt even bear this thought.
PL approached him with mounting tension...she could say that something is terribly wrong..what happened to Prachi?
"Beta..sach bataao..Prachi teek tho hai na?"
"Haa maa..woh teek hai..aap jaakar us se mil leejiye..shaayad aapko woh pehchaanle"
"Milind yeh tum kya keh rahe ho beta....yeh kya..."
Milind brokedown completely and cried like a child..why?? why does this always happen to him? why do the ppl whom he loves more than himself always go away from him?why?
PL held him close while fighting back her own tears.Neev could not believe what he was seeing or listening.Prachi forgot everything?it cant be..it just cant be..he cautiously entered Prachis room making sure that Milind was not around.
Seeing Prachi sleeping peacefully,he sat at her bedside.Touching her forehead tenderly he relived all their childhood memories once again as tears started flowing unknowingly.Prachi moved slowly as one of the tears fell down on her cheek and opened her eyes sligthly.
It took a moment for her to register the person in front of her
"Neev...." she called out..."Neev..."she was smiling.
Milind froze in his tracks by the window.He leaned against the glass to have a better view.
"Neev tum ab aa rahe ho?patha hai mujhe kitna darr aur akelapan mehsoos ho raha tha.."
How come she remembered Neev and not him.Maybe she is doing it knowingly.She is punishing him..serves me right..Milind thought to himself.If she wants me to suffer like this then i will.
"Neev..Paapa kaha hai? kya unhe mere accident ke baare mein nahi patha?"
Milind stood rooted to the spot..Neev was at a loss of words..He still was not able to comprehend the situation..Doctor was tapping him on his shoulder but Milind could not move a single step ahead..Paapa..so Prachi doesnt rememeber that her Father is Dead?
"Neev...paapa kahaa hai?"
"Neev aaj mera birthday hai aur paapa...."
"Prachi woh...woh....tumhaare paapa.."
"Kya neev..bolona.."
"Woh...woh...ab nahi rahe"
"Neev ka mathlab hai ki..woh ab yahaa nai hai..woh kaam par bangkok gaye hai prachi.." Dr.Gupta spoke and he ent.ered hurriedly.
"Aaj mera birthday hai aur paapa yahaa nahi hai...uncle kya unhe meri accident ke baare patha hai ?"
"Nahi beta..main ne nahi bathaaya"
"Thanx uncle..varna paapa yoohi pareshaan hothe"
"Maa .."she said happily as PL enveloped her in a huge hug.
Doctor took Neev outside to Milind who seemed to have lost control over all his senses.
"Milind,Neev...Prachi ko yeh yaad nahi hai ki uske paapa ab nahi rahe..use uske baad kya hua yeh bhi yaad nahi hai..aur use koi bhi nahi bathaayega..mera mathlab hai ki abhi nahi bathaayega...use kisi tarah ke jatka nahi lagni chaahiye...yaad rahein" he said as he left.
"Neev.."Milind called out.
"Neev..main jaantha hoon ki maine hamesha tera aur prachi ki rishte ke baare mein galath socha..uskeliye tujhse maafi
maangthaa hoon"
"Tumhe kya chaahiye Milind?"Neev asked irritably.
"Teri madad" Milind replied calmly.."Prachi ko phir se paane ke liye"
"Kya..main kya kar saktha hoon us keliye"
"Bas jaisa main kahoon waisa hi karthe jaana..phil haal tho use uski sabse acche dost ki zaroorath hai..tum uske paas
jaao..please Neev ...Prachi ke liye.."
Two other faces emanated a different reaction as they heard these words.
"Thank you Bhagwan..aakhir tumne meri sun lee..ab jab Prachi Milind lo bhool chuki hai tho ab Milind ko paana mere liye aur bhi aasaan hoga..aur rahi us Prachi ki bacchi ki baat..Neev hai na uskeliye..bas Neev ki dil mein pehla pyar ke taar chedna hai..baaki ka woh khud sambhaal lega.."thought Ayesha happily.
"Hey Bhagwaan..ab yeh Prachi phir se Neev ki gale padegi..Neev phir se uska chamchaa ban jaayega..nahi..main un dono ko kabhi paas nahi aane dhoongi"Niharika promised herself.
"Thanx Neev..mujhe patha tha tu zaroor mujhe maaf kardega.."
"Milind..kal ko agar tum hum dono ko kareeb dekhlo tho...tum bura..."
"Nahi Neev mujhe bura nahi lagega..main jaantha hoon ki ek dost doosre dost ki madad kar rahaa hai bas.."
Neev was so confused seeing this new Milind.Was this the same one who could not even tolerate him looking at Prachi?
"Beta...main samajh saktha hoon tum pe kya beeth rahi hai.." Mishraji said placing a comforting hand on his son's shoulder
"Nahi baaba..main dhuki nahi hoon..infact main tho khush hoon...haa baaba..Prachi ke saath maine jo kuch bhi galath kiya uska
sazaa mil raha hai mujhe..aur main yeh sahoonga.."
"Beta..."
"Haan paapa..main khush hoon ki Prachi ko kuch bhi yaad nahi hai..jo dukh maine use diya...jo barthameezi maine uske saath
kiya..jaanwar ki tarah pesh aaya main us ke saath paapa...accha hua ki use kuch bhi yaad nahi hai...ab main ek nayi shuruvaath karoonga paapa..apni pyar ko waapas paane ka ek naya shuruvaath..jis mein koi aasu..gham..galatfahmi nahi honge..." Milind turned around excited
"Haa Paapa...Prachi ko mujhse dobaara pyaar hoga..aur is tarah se hoga..ki woh hamesha ke liye meri hojaayegi..paapa main ab ek teenager ki tarah mehsoos kar raha hoon ..mujhe koi ajab si feeling ho rahi hai...."he smiled and hugged his father.
"Bhagwan tumhe kaamyaabi de beta..aur is neik kaam mein tumhaari madad karne keliye main aur sukruthi tho hai hi"he laughed along with his son.
Prachi got better eventually with the love of her family and the care and concern of Neev..but two things bothered her..the man in black, she later came to know as Milind,her father's business partner.He came to see her everyday and bought her favourite flowers.How did he know that she liked them? May be he liked them too..what a coincidence..she thought..but..then again there was this certain look on his face...whenever he saw her his eyes shone brightly.Po people react this way whenever they see their buisiness partner's daughter?? Then there was this Neev..Prachi just couldnt understand what has gotten into him..he appeared so distant when she was talking..he would pull off his hand whenever she held it making some excuse...May be he got a new girl friend..she smiled to herself...I should be keeping a count on this...she thought.
The day of her discharge..she was excited to go home.Her Paapa wud be home too.The hospital staff brought a packet to Milind.
"Sir..yeh patient ki jewellery hai joh ki ilaaj ke vakth nikaale gaye the"
He hurriedly took out her MangalSutra and their wedding ring from them.Fingering the sacred black thread he said to himself
"is ki sahi jagah tho teri gale mein hai Prachi..vaada karthaa hoon bahuth jald ise wahaa pahuchaa dhoonga"
"why does this MIB often stand like that lost in his own thoughts?" Prachi thought.She christened him as MIB-Man in Black, as he was always in black.
Milind gave the packet to PL and went hurriedly to talk to Doctor about Prachi's medicines.
"Maa..paapa ghar par mera intezaar kar rahe hai na..unhe dheke bahut din hogaye hai na maa.."Prachi was going on in her ow world as PL rushed out with tears flowing out of her eyes
She stood in front of the Ganesh idol at the reception.
"Prachi apne paapa ke baare mein pooch rahi hai..main use kya kahoo bhagwan?"she said out aloud
"yeh aapko bahut pehle sochna tha na" came Niharika's voice from behind.
"Maa aap please chup rahiye"said neev anger evident from his voice.
"Mujhe tho tum kisi tarah se chup karaadoge..lekin jab Prachi yahaan se baahar nikalegi tho poori duniya use bathaadegi ki uski paapa ab nahi rahe.."
Milind who was approaching them stopped seeing the serious look on their faces.Niharika was continuing in her own style
"Kya hua maa..Neev..kya ho raha hai.."
"Aur Prachi ko yeh bhi patha chalega ki marthe marthe uski paapa ne uski pariwar ko poora kangaal karke choda hai..yahaa tak unka ghar bhiab Milind ke naam par hai"
A sound of shattering glass was to be heard as Prachi clung to the wall with difficulty.the vase that was attched to the wall was now on the ground broken into thousand pieces just like her.
"Prachi..." both Milind and Neev shouted in unision...
A thousand volcanoes burst out simultaneously in her head..Her paapa was no more..he left them bankrupt..Prachi was slowly collapsing while blood came gushing out of her nose...this cant be true..this cant be true..
"Prachi.." Milind and Neev held Prachi in their arms from collapsing.
"Doctor...Prachi....use kya hua hai.."asked PL weeping.
Dr.Gupta who has just emerged out from the ICU said gravely "woh coma mein hai..uski ilaaj karne keliye use ek din ke andar andar coma se baahar nikaalni hogi...jo ki naamumkin lag rahaa hain..agar uski ilaaj nahi huyi tho uski jaan bhi jaa sakthi hai"
"Woh coma se baahar aayegi doctor..Hum sab milke koshish karenge..Kya hum use dekh sakthe hain?" Neev asked him.
"Haan..lekin dhyaan rakhna.. us ki zindagi aur maut ke beech sirf ek di hain.."
Neev nodded palely and took the arm of Milind who stood as if he was in coma with his eyes open.
They entered the room silently as they saw Prachi who was as white as a sheet amidst all the breathing aid and survival machines.
Milind slowly walked towards Prachi.He sat at her bedside and slowly caressed her hair and forehead.He had not spoken anything.Tears rolling down his cheeks clearly reflected his pain.
"Prachi..tujhe hamari pyar ki kasam..tujhe ab utna hi hoga.."
The hour clock ticked away starting the countdown of Prachi's life.They all waited for the slightest movement from Prachi..yet nothing happened..one more hour to go...
"Bas..bahuth ho chuka..naatak hai yeh sab..."
"Milind...."
"Koi kuch nahi kahega..ab sirf main kahoonga aur Prachi sunegi.."
"Kya kahaa thaa tune..kayamath tak meri saath degi..are zindagi ki safar shuru hothe hi meri haath chod di hai tune..are tu kya nibhaayegi saath kayamath tak"
Milind was becomming more agressive by the minute.
"Sach toh yeh hai ki tera pyar jhoota hai..tune kabhi mujhe chaaha hi nahi tha"
He shook shoulders of Prachi violently tightening his grip over them.
"Tune hamesha Neev ko chaaha hai aur aaj bhi chaahthi ho..mere wajah se tum dono alag huye..aur is baath ki badhlaa le rahi hain tu mujhse..Hain na Prachi..tujhe kya lagthaa hai tu kaamyaab hojaaoge..nahi Prachi nahi..jab tak main zinda hoon tab tak toh nahi"
"Teri khaamoshi yehi bataa rahi hain ki joh maine abhi kahaa woh sab sach hain..agar maine kuch bhi galath kaha hain toh ut jaa.. maar mujhe ek chaata aur bol ki Saala chup kar..tujhe koi hak nahi bantha is tarah se hamaari pyar ka mazaak udaao..Bol na prachi"Milind shouted at the top of his voice holding her hand.
His anger,emotions seemed to fill the room and everybody seemed to be drowning in it.
"Bol na Prachi..bol..." Milind was weeping out of his helplessness.There was a slight movement of fingers and then Prachi's hand slowly closed around his hand.
"Doctor.."Neev ran towards Dr.Gupta's room.
"Prachi..."Milind kissed her hand beaming.
Doctor rushed and shoved everybody including Milind out of the room not before forcibly removing Prachis hand from his.
"Woh teek ho jaayegi maa..maine aapse kahaa thaana..use kuch nahi hoga"Neev said comforting PL.
One more long hour passed before them when doctor emerged from the ICU smiling and conveyed that Prachi is out of danger.
"Ab toh woh teek hain..lekin agli baar aisa kuch hua toh hum use nahi bachaa paayenge"
"Doctor..kya hum use dekh sakthe hain?"
"Nahi abhi nahi...kal use poori tarah se hosh aajaayega..tab dekh lena"
Neev was thinking seriously as Milind walked out on him towards the reception.
"Prachi ko kuch bhi yaad nahi thaa na..phir bhi woh Milid ki wajah se coma se baahar nikali..toh kya ab use saari baatein yaad aagayi hain? agar yaad nahi aaya toh bhi usne Milind ki baatein toh suni hogi..use sab kuch pathaa chal gaya hoga kya ?"
Neev found no answers for his questions.I have to wait till tomorrow to find out he told himself.
"Yeh kya hain Milind?" Niharika asked clutching the piece of paper Milind threw at her face.."Blank cheque??"
"Prachi ki saamne apni mooh bandh rakhne ki keemath"
"Nahi Milind..tum mujhe galath samajh rahe ho..main Prachi ko koi nuksaan kyu pahuchaaongi?"
"Agar agli baar aapke wajah se Prachi ko kuch hua ..toh main aapke murder case mein jail jaane ke liye bhi tayyaar hoon " Milind left the place angrily.
"Are waah Milind..Prachi ki pyar mein toh tum marne aur maarne par uthar aaye ho..ab is mauke ko main nahi choodoongi..Prachi naam ke is ATM card se main jab chaaho MIlind ki bank se paise nikaal sakthi hoon..ab aage aage dekhthe jaao yeh Niharika kya karegi..main Prachi ko naahi Neev ke paas aanedhoongi aur na hi tumhaare paas..tum uskeliye tadapoge aur main uska poora mazaa loongi..aur haan saath mein tumhaare paise bhi.." Niharika smiled to herself wickedly.
