Part - 3 : The Ghat
There was a time when Vir dint give any regards to Purvi, but now the situations have changed. Never in his wildest dreams he could imagine breaking her heart but he has done it, however unwillingly. It wasn't that grieving her dint affect him, he wept too - because of her, for her.
"The fire of compunction brings out the candid gold." This fire in Vir was to bring out his suppressed emotions - his love and concern for Purvi.
Throughout his journey, he kept cursing his tongue for uttering such derogatory statements against his wife; his hand for hitting her soft plumpy cheeks; his mind for nurturing doubts about her character; and mostly, his heart for not believing in her purity.
At The Ghat
After reaching there, Vir kept staring at her silently from a distance while trying to compose himself, assess his words as he dint want to take any further chance with his tongue.
V - "Tu chahe kitna bhi naraj ho bawri ib mai tujhe khud se durr na jaane duga". Saying this he stepped towards Purvi and took a seat next to her.
She had sensed him the moment he stepped his foot on the ghat.
Much to Vir's surprise Purvi gave no visible reactions as if his presence dint affect her. Only she and her Kanha ji knew how badly her heart swayed in his shade.
"Bawri ...!!! " Vir called out. She dint respond.
V - "mai janta hu tu mere ta bhut naraj hai." He folded his hands in front of her and continued "mujhse bhot badi galti ho gyi jo tujhpe bharosa naa kia, mujhe maaf kar de"
{BG Music : Darmiyaan}
{ Lafzon se jo tha pare
Khaalipan ko jo bhare
Kuchh tto tha tere mere darmiyaan}
Purvi dint give even a single look to him. She wasn't crying. She was still and emotionless like a stone. (In mind) "Apne hme bhut chot pahuchai hai Mukhi ji. Hmare charitra par sawal khade karne se pehle ek bar nhi socha apne. Hm apko kabhi maaf nhi krege."
{Rishte ko kya mod doon
Naata yeh abb tod doo
Ya phir yun hi chhod doon, darmiyaan}
V - Tu chahe to manne daant le sherni ki tarah jaise pehle krti thi par kuch to bol. Tu jo saja degi mai sur jhuka ke maan luga.
P - "Ek MOLKKI jo khud bina kisi galti ke saza bhugat rhi ho, wo kisi ko kya saza degi. Aur kis baat ki maafi maag rhe hai ap ? Kahi us galti ki to nhi jo apne humse shaadi karke ki hai (remembering his words)" she uttered, with no tints of sentiments.
V - (confused) "Nahi bawri. Gusse me manne bhut kuch keh dia tanne par mhara vishwas kar wo sach naa tha." He said softly. He was hurt by the way she used the word MOLKKI for herself.
P - (this time her eyes blazed with rage) Hme 'bazaaru' aur 'charitraheen' kehte hue ek bar bhi apki zabaan nhi ladkhadai thi naa
{Benaam rishta woh, bechain karta jo
Ho naa.. sake jo bayaan, darmiyaan×4}
Vir was someone who had absolute command over his outburst of emotions but right now he wanted to blurt out everything, all his insecurities, fear and pain.
V - Tujhe us Karan ke haatho kho na dun is asuraksha ne manne andha kar dia tha. Wo video dekh ke mera kaabu na rha khud pe. Mai janta hu manne galat kia hai isi lie.......
He wanted to say more, confess that how much he craved for her companionship, how much he missed their togetherness; But something in him stopped him and he lost the chance to speak....!
Purvi stood abruptly giving no chance to Vir to speak "isi lie kya ? (Shouting ) humse rishta todne ke baad kis haq se aye hai ap yha? Humne hmesha apka sath diya, apke sath khade rhe aur jab hme apki zarurat thi to ap hme thokar maar kar chale gye. Apne kabhi hme apni patni nhi mana fir bhi hme usse koi shikayat nhi thi, par ap to hmari izzat bhi nhi kar sakte. Hm par haath uthaya tab bhi kuch nhi socha apne." Her tears of rage were evident of the pain she was going through. 😭
{Kuchh to tha tere-mere darmiyaan}
Vir clenched his fist with so much force that his nails hurt his palm which had slapped her once. He was devastated to see her like this - once a sweet, easy-going girl turned into a cold and rough one. He requested again "Tanne itna sab kuch mhare karan sehna pada. Aj ke baad kabhi tujhpe shak na kruga, tera bharosa kruga. Ek akhri mauka de de mujhe bawri, mai sab thik kar duga vaada karta hun tujhse." There was immense hope in his eyes that she'll listen to her pleadings. But NO
P - Kya thik krege ap ? Hmara choor hua abhiman hme lauta payge ? Ya fir hmare man pe jo ghaw die hai apne wo bhar payge ? Agni ko sakshi maan kar 7 vachan lie the apne, wo to nibha nhi paye ap ab ye vaada pura krege iski to umeed bhi nhi hai hme!!
Her words were like thunderbolts on him. He wanted to shout with equal force "haa... Teri har chot ka marham banuga mai, bas mujhse durr mat jaaa....!! ". He again couldn't speak for he felt to drained of energy.
{Chalte thay jinpe hum-tum
Raaste woh saare hain gum
Ab kaise dhoondein manzilein }
She was screaming in frustration, her voice heavy due to excessive crying. She thundered in anger, so did the sky - witnessing SITA once again put in a jeopardy for her character.
She turned to leave when Vir got hold of her hand and instinctively pulled her towards himself and this time he spoke - "Ruk jaa..... na mai is rishte ko tootne duga naa hi tujhe khud se durr jaan duga. Tujhse mai aur mera pariwar pura howe hai aur fir se mai use adhura na kar sakta. " His eyes carried resolution and ebullience of winning her back.
Purvi jerked his hand away and countered "teri jaisi badchalan auraton ki jagah kothe me hoti hai" yhi kaha tha naa apne us din" her eyes seemed lost as if she was recalling the bitter experience. She walked away without laying even the slightest glance at Vir.
{Raatein hain jaise maatham
Ab toh hain din bhi gumsum
Roothi hain saari mehfilein}
Vir stared at her miserably. His own words hitting him like whips. He cried, once again for her. Seeing her go was painful but letting her go was deadly. A sudden realisation dawned upon him -"Mai tere bina naa jee pauga bawri." Vir decided to love once again, live once again and win his Bawri back at any cost.smiley27
{Itna sataao naa yun yaad aao naa
Bann jaaye aansoon bhi zubaan}
Two broken hearts wept both in love but none was ready to confess.
However, Vir was now a step closer, his desires clearer. He vowed - "jitna rona hai aj ro le bawri, aainda teri ankho me sirf khushi ke aansu hoge. Mhare rehte koi takleef tujhe chhu bhi na pawegi ye vachan hai mera." He realised how much protective he had become for his Bawri.
*Sometimes distances are necessary to bring people closer.* Proved right by our PurVir.
