PART - 41
His Phone dropped on the ground because of trembling hands. Blood frozed in veins. Only a shriek come out and he muted.....
ALL were crying,but Piya was uncontrollable. She was patting her hands and waving legs to free herself from Daija's grip. She wants to go to her parents only. But they were not in a condition to hold her.
Ambulance arrived and wardboys took the body, which was drenched in a blood pool. "Mumma......" Piya waving her hands and crying endlessly. She wants to know why her mumma not carrying her.
All reached to hospital. Where doctors took the body inside the OT. Bullet was insert deep in body. It took hours and all outside praying every second for the saftey of the soul. Piya was in a bad state and plight non stop which makes her body weak and gradually her cries subsiding as she slowly drifting towards sleep. But little soul not ready to sleep. She rubbing her eyes non stop,but asking only for her mother.
Daija's heart went for her. She never found herself this much helpless. Maan went to her and took Piya from her arms. He won't utter a word,since Geet got shot in front of his eyes. His eyes were stoned and he was silent till now. The bullet which actually came to hit Maan made it's target Geet by mistake because she came in front of Maan when Killer already fired. Maan snuggled his daughter and moved from there. He roamed here and there while stroking her back but since she saw her mother Unconscious and in blood,no rest come to her. She was small unable to express herself propely. But know something happens to her mother. While roaming Maan saw the idol of God there. He went near and his stoned eyes shed a tear drops. "you always snatched the person I love. But what mistake she had did? Why you punishing my baby? You snatched my mom, dad, Dadima and Tia. Everyone I love." his throat chocked and eyes shed tears without acknowledging him. "But please don't snatch my baby's mom from her. Piya and Geet both love each other. Please don't seprate them. They are innocent. Don't punish them." Maan pleading for her life's sake.
Adi came there in his search and saw both praying. Piya imitate her father. He joined hands so does she. Adi put his hand on Maan's shoulder to gain his attention as well as to console him.
Operation was done and now they shifted her in I.C.U. Geet still not responding to treament which worried doctor too. They want her to show positive sign but she not giving any one.
"Doctor almost 8 hours passed since you operate but still she not gain her conscious why?" Geet's parents and Daija asked again and again from doctors.
"we are doing our best. Please pray to GOD." they have nothing to assured them.
12 hours passed since they were there without eating any thing. Daija tried to feed Piya but she too behave stubborn. Only wants Geet and slept empty stomach. "Daija aap Piyu ko leke ghar chale jaiye. Mumma Papa aap log b rest kariye. Main hu yaha Geet k pass. Waise b doctors ne kaha hai raat me zada log nahi ruk sakte." Maan asked all them to leave and take rest. Though no one is ready but he sucessded in sending all of them.
In mid night he went near Geet and sat besides her. He stroked her head softly and leaned to kiss on her forehead. Maan sat holding her limp hand. "Please wake up Geet. Please wake up. Don't punish every one for my mistakes. Your parents, Daija and most important your daughter to whom you love so much. Please wake up for her sake." Maan pleads her to come back to life again.
Darkness occupied the whole room. Suddenly a beam of light catches his attention. He run to catch that source. Gradually the light beam taking shape and he saw Geet in that light beam. Maan tried to catch her but she was slippng away from him. "Geet... Geet stop...." Maan called her and shout her name louder.
Maan waked up with jerk and found darkness all around. He stood and check Geet. She was laying there like before. Maan checked her properly. She was breathing. Though the signs of life was very low but she is alive. Maan sighed and sat near her again.
He felt something on his shoulder. The moment he slanted his neck to saw who was behind him,made him stunned. Tia was standing behind him in a pure white outfit. Her face was calm and smiling. Maan stood instantly to face her. But the moment he tried to hug her she stepped back. But still giving him a smile. Maan don't understand why she was running away from him.
"Tia you here? I know one day you will come back to me." He whimpered. "why you leave me alone. Bolo." Maan cribbed to her and she only gave a smile. "Tia i need you. Don't go away." Maan pleads.
"Maan I am with you. It's you who not recognizing me. I was waiting when you accept me." Tia said and confused him to edge.
"Maan released a shaky breath. "No Tia you left me." he complaints.
"No Maan I never leave you. I am alive in Geet. Par tum to aage badna hi nahi chahte. Maan jo pyar karta hai uska dil nahi dukhte. Hai na? I commit this mistake but tum mat karna. She loves you a lot Maan. Love her back."
"Aaj ro Len de ve jee bhar ke,
Meri saanso se daga kar ke,
Gaya mujhko fana kar k ve janiya..
Mera zakhmi dil hara kar de,
Is gam ki ab dava kar de,
Nazro ko bawafa kar de ve janiya,
Aadat hai teri ya tera nasha hai,
Kaise btao tujhko rehbara...."
Maan heard her silently and his eyes poured out tears...
"Saanson ko teri zaroorat
Kare kaise byaan koi
Aankhon mein hai aisi rangat
Ke roshan ho jahaan koi
Dil bimar-e-mohabbat
Bas chahta thodi raahat hai
Tera gham hi meri manzil hai
Tu na kyun mujhko haansil hai
Hoon main dariya tu saahil hai ve jaaniya
Ve aaj ro len de ve jee bhar ke
Meri saanson se daga karke
Tu gaya mujhko fanaa karke o.. jaaniya
Ve jaaniya… o jaaniya…
Hmm.. zinda hoon hai mujhko hairat
Main tere bin jiya kaise
Hmm.. saanson ne ki aisi zurrat
Zehar hans ke piya kaise
Tere dard se meri nisbat hai
Teri yaadon ki haseen sohbat hai
Ashqon se dil ko tar karde
Meri aahon mein asar bharde
Meri nazron pe nazar karde ve jaaniya
Ve aaj ro len de ve jee bhar ke
Meri saanson se daga karke
Tu gaya mujhko fanaa karke.
"And what about...?" Before he asked she shut his mouth.
"Maan as I said I am with you. I am every where around you. Geet k pyar me, Piya ki hasi me, Daija ki blessings me or sabse zada tumhare dil me zinda hu. Maan keep me in your heart but not in your life. Your life now belongs to Geet only. And you know what? You too start loving her. Bas accept karna baki hai. And I am waiting when my best friend accept his new feelings. You need her Maan. Usse zada tume uski zarurat hai. My simple friend needs some one to look after him like a baby and she is the one. You know why I asked her not to leave Piya?" Tia asked and Maan nods no.
"Because I want to bound her with you. Meri tarah wo tumhari best friend banegi I was sure about that. Maan hold her before it's to late. True love is hard to find and toughest to hold on. Piya ko uske siblings bhi to chahiye." Tia winked and widened his eyes.
"Maan tumhi ne to kaha tha na ki Piya Geet ki duniya hai to tum kyu us duniya ka hissa bana nahi chahte. My baby and her mother are waiting for you to join and complete this family picture. With love and care. I am dead Maan but they are alive for you. Make them happy. Meri wali galti mat karo. I was late to recognised your feelings towards me but you know what she feels for you then why Maan?"
Tia's soul tried hard to convinced him and he was only staring her silently with his drowsy eyes. Because of tears his vision was fogged. Maan was muted and now she to start moving.
"Geet don't go...." Suddenly he mistook her with Geet. "I mean Tia. Please don't leave me."
"Listen to your heart patiently Maan." She paced and increased the distance between them. "And yes kuchh nahi hoga tumhari Geet ko." She blinked her eyes with a smile and vanished.
Maan opened his eyes and search her in whole room but except darkness he found nothing....
