Hey guys š¤š¤ so here I am with another OS yet again so read it and please share your opinions with me in your comments. Please ignore the grammatical mistakes.
Saiiii.......Saiii....Bada jaldi aa , apne Aaba ke pass.....jaldi Sai jaldiii..... she is running and running continuously through the dense forest , her feets ached , her lungs burned for oxygen , her heart beating harshly against her ribcage yet she doesn't stops and keep running.
* Aur tez Sai aur tez Aaba tujhe bula rahe , voh musibat mein h Sai aur tez * Sai thinks while running the forest. The forest is full of darkness her path barely visible by the little moonlight that can enter through the dense canopy of the trees. Suddenly she can see faint light and runs towards it , finally she's out of the forest and sees her Aaba. Her Aaba , her whole world standing alone , weaponless in front of the monster of her nightmares - Jagtap at gunpoint. Her breath hitched , she screams * Aabaaaa * she screams so loud that it echoes throughout the forest breaking it's haunting silence yet her Aaba and that monster don't seem to hear her.
She tries to run forward to save her Aaba from that monster but suddenly the roots of the trees becomes alive and binds her. The monster is laughing maniacally by waving the gun mockingly at her Aaba and then points it right at his chest. She thrashes against the roots with her full strength , cries for someone to save her Aaba but her cries futile as nobody came. She thrashes with her full strength but the roots tightens around her more strongly. She screams , threatens , hurls insults and begs the monster but he doesn't seem to listen her and laugh one last time and pulls the trigger * BOOM * the bullet moves through the air drowning the sound of her cries and hit her Aaba in the chest. Her Aaba screams * Saii.....* and the monster laughs.
Sai wakes up at lightning speed sits upright at the bed , her horrified scream stuck in her throat and the scream of her Aaba and laughter of that monster still ringing in her ears.
She is covered in sweat and shaking like a leaf. Sai looks around the room with panicked eyes searching for her Aaba desperately but comes to her senses when she sees Virat sleeping on the bed and her Aaba's photo on the table and realised that it was a nightmare. A sudden heartbreaking sob broke out of her and she stuffed her fist into her mouth to silence it.
Sai gets up quietly but quickly and sprints out of the room towards the terrace as to not disturb Virat's sleep. She is feeling suffocated and starts gasping for air harshly. After sometime she sits on the sofa there with her knees tucked under her chin and holding them with her arms. She puts her head on her knees and starts sobbing quietly.
Ninad was returning back to his room from the kitchen after drinking water when he heard the sound of sniffling from the terrace. Feeling curious as who might be at the terrace so late at night he starts moving towards the terrace himself.
Ninad is a little annoyed seeing Sai there however his annoyance turns into shock when he realised that she is crying from her shaking frame. His first thought is to go back to sleep but surprisingly feeling a little sympathy today he moves towards Sai instead and puts a hand on her shoulder and calls her name.
Sai was engrossed in crying remembering the nightmare again and again when she suddenly feels a hand on her shoulder and hears the call of her name.
Ninad is shocked to core when Sai whispered Aaba !! in a strangled voice and turns to look at him with eyes which are slightly unfocused yet so heartbreakingly hopeful.
Sai turns around hopefully to see her Aaba but gets shattered and devastated when she sees Ninad instead.
Ninad have never liked Sai yet he still feels sudden pain when he sees the hope in her eyes vanishing and sees the shattered look in them. He always thought of Sai as a uncivilized , ill mannered , angry but ridiculously brave girl who can fight through everything but today he just saw another side of her , the vulnerable 18 years old girl who has gone through too much and have lost someone very dear to her , the side she hides from the world as to not show her weakness to it for the people to exploit it.
Sai comes to her senses quickly and says Ba... Baba aap yha ?? Ninad gets a little startled at her question at gruffly says Mein...mein voh pani pene gaya tha kichen mein aur lauthte time terrace pe se kuch awaz suni toh dekhne aa gaya !! then after a moment adds Tum yha kya kar rhi ho voh bhi iss halat mein aaise rote hue !? and looks at her with little concern.
Sai though don't want to tell him about her nightmare but she doesn't have any energy to fight or think of a excuse now so grudgingly whispers Voh.....voh kuch nhi bas ek bura sapna tha she gulps and looks away with slightly glazed eyes.
Ninad is feeling very conflicted seeing Sai so vulnerable , he has never liked her but he still can't see her in this state , her vulnerability is awakening some fatherly instincts of her. She reminded him of a distraught child who needs immediate parental comfort.
Ninad hesitatingly sits down besides her and says Apne Aaba ko dekha !?!? though he said it like a question but the surety in his voice made it a statement. Sai's breath hitched listening the word Aaba and she nodded wordlessly.
Ninad doesn't know how to comfort her , he isn't a very emotional or comforting type of person. After a quick thinking he decided to give her a wise yet straightforward advice.
Ninad says Sai aaj mein tumhe ek salah dunga use dhyaan se suno , Jab hum kisi apne , kisi dil ke bohot kareebi ko khote h toh bohot dukh hota h itna ke saans bhi nahi lia jata aur hum bhagwan se prarthana karte h ke ye dukh kam ho jaye and put his hand on her head making her turn her face towards him and looks directly into her eyes and says lekin ye dukh kabhi kam nhi hota Sai kabhi bhi nhi kyuki jo chala gaya uski kami hume hamesha mehsoos hoti h , par vakt mein bohot takat hoti h humara dukh bhale he kam na ho par vakt hume uss dukh ke saath jeena sikha deta h , khush rehna sikha deta h. Hum kisi ko kho dete h toh kisi ko pate bhi h , duniya ujad jati h toh nayi duniya bana bhu lete h. Tumne apne Aaba ke roop mein apni duniya khoi par Virat ke roop mein ek nayi duniya pai bhi , tumne apne Aaba ko khoya toh Ashwini mein ek Aai jo tumhe apne bete jitna he pyaar karti h , Devi mein ek badi behen , Mohit mein ek bhai , Mansi Tai aur Shivani mein bua aur mere bete mein ek pati ek aaisa pati jisme tumhe tumhare Aaba ke chavi dekhai deti h jo tumhare Aaba jitni he parvah karta h tumhari bhi toh pai h na. Tumhe iss ghar mein sab pasand nhi karte par kai log h jo tumse kafi pyaar karte h. Tumhare Aaba ke saath tumhari khushiya chali gyi par iss ghar mein tumhe nayi khushiya bhi toh mili. Tumhare Aaba Inspector Kamal Joshi ek zimmedar aur honest police officer the jinhone apne farz ke lie apni jaan di unki shahadat ko ek bas ek dardnaak hadsa samajhkar tum unki shahadat ka apman karogi , unki maut sirf dardnaak hadsa nhi balki ek garv se seena choda karne vali baat bhi h. Agar tum issme dard ke saath garv bhi mehsoos karogi na toh shayad tum bhi iss dard ke saath jeena seekh jaogi. Meri baat par dhyaan jarur dena !! He patted her head and stand ups and looks at her one last time and sees her in deep thinking and in her eyes where there was only pain now has a little determination and hope too.
He starts moving back to his room but stops and looks at her sideways and says Aaj mene tumhe salah de h iska matlab ye matt samajhna ke mein tumhe pasand karta hu bilkul nhi tum ab bhi mere lie jungli mulgi he ho his voice is serious but there is a little humour in it too.
Sai gets up and grins at him tearfully and says Voh toh mujhe bhi pata h baba aur agar aap mujhe pasand karne lagte toh mujhe toh shock se heart attack he aa jata !! she giggles and sprints out of the terrace towards her room before Ninad could say anything.
Ninad's lips twitched into a little smile at her childishness and goes towards his room shaking his head feeling strangely lighthearted.
Sai quietly enters her room and lays on the bed covering herself with the blanket and looks at Virat for a moment and then closed her eyes. Though there is still pain in her heart there is a strange sort of hope too and clutching on this hope she falls into a peaceful slumber.
The End !!
