FF: Love in 1942 Pg.2 Pt.2 *Updated*

.... It was month of august of 1942. People were running to save their life. No one thought that something would happen like this. No one thought that Quit-India movement would take place. Many people were sent to jail. Many were the targets of Britishers. People in India prayed for the current situation. Many people lost their hopes and many surrender themselves to British people for the sake of their family life. It was an end to most of the people but it was a new beginning to some...

"Love doesn't make the world go round. Love is what makes the ride worthwhile."

Franklin P. Jones

"Hey! God.....kitna ganda hai.kuch dino saaf nahi kiya wapas gard (dirt) jam gayi". She muttered while cleaning some photo frames. Few past weeks went so fast that she didn't get the time to do any cleaning now everything needed some attention. Something brought a smile on her face as she cleaned one of photo frames. It was not just a frame it was the only memory of her parents whom she lost years back. Her mom holding her and dad standing beside her. It was taken when she was one year old.

She lost her parents in an attack by British police. Her Mamaji brought her home and took care of her as his own daughter. Her cousin Nirmal was her best friend whom she shared all happiness and grief with. Mami ji was always cold to her and mostly blame her when anything went wrong in their household. She was used to it and always considered them as her family so whatever she does she thought of her family first unlike Lovely. Lovely anothercousin, Mama ji-mama's younger daughter and so pampered. She never misses a chance to accuse Kranti for her own mistakes. She had so much, which anyone hardly would face at her age but she didn?t forget to thank God for having a family Eventhough she has to face so much everyday.

She came out of her thoughts as she heard her Mami's voice......"Kahan mur gayi...sunai nahi deta kitni der say awaaz de rahi hon tujhe" her Mami scolded. She kept the frame on the table and went running to her Mami.

She saw very impatient Mami as she entered the kitchen. "Ji mami...kya baat hai"she said while panting.

"kya kar rahi thi tu, itni der se halaq phaar rahi hoon mein....phir lag hogi koi kitaab chaatne"she inquired .

"Ji woh kamra saaf kar rahi thi" replied Kranti.

"koi itni der lagata hai kamra saaf karne.....meine chole bhigo diye the ja jake bana le tere Mama ji ke kuch dost aane wale hain..ab jaa mera muh kyun taak rahi ha." ordered Mami.

"Woh Mami ji! Kuch photo meine table pe rakhe hain unhe dewaar pe taang ke aati hoon..."

"Satyanaas ho tera.....khabardar jo kamre mein gayi.....sab photo teri cholhe (stove) mein dal dongi...ja..jake kaam kar " said a fuming Mami.

She proceded to do what Mami told her to do with a hope that her work wouldn't upset Mami ji.

FF: Love in 1942 - Part 2

She prepared tea and chole and started organizing table. She just hoped that Chole is the way Mami demanded. She took some chole in a small bowl to have Mami taste it. She made that everything is on the table and walked to Mami's room when she felt a figure bumping into her. Before she could say anything, she heard some one complaining.

"uff! Kya kiya?".dikhai nahi deta mein aa rahi hon" said Lovely

'keh to aise rahi hai....jaise England ki queen ho' thought Kranti.

"meri nai (new) Dress kharab kar di tune,"lovely muttered.

"Dekh tujhe bhi to dekh kar chalna chaiye the na...mein tu side mein chal rahi thi" kranti explained.

'To kya meine jaan bhujh kar kiya...haan ruk abhi mummy ji se kehti hoon ke tu fight kar rahi hai...abhi ruk," lovely interrupted

'ab kya karon faltu ka phasai gi .....rabba bacha is lovely se' Kranti prayed

"are kahan ja rahi hai lovely puttar...idhar aa," called Mama ji

Kranti looked at Mama ji who just got home.

'shukar hai! Bach gayi" Kranti thanked god in her mind.

"Le tere waste phal laya hoon ja dhoke khale," Mama ji handed a fruit bag to lovely.

Lovely forgot about spilled chole; she took it and went away with it.

"kya hua puttar ye itna chikh kyun rahi thi " Mama ji asked.

"Woh kuch nahi....Mami ji ko chahane waste chole le ja rahi thi.....aur us takra gayi....achcha hua aap aa gaye warna abhi daant parti" Kranti sighed in relief.

"Koi baat nahi puttar.....in Maa-beti ko tu Hawa se larne ki aadat hai....aur kyun chinta karti hai chlon ki.....ja thode se le aa meine khudi chak lena hai" said Mama ji

"ji..abhi layi"Kranti assured.

She brought chole and he tasted it.

"wah! Puttar bahut achche banaye tune" he appreciated.

"aap ko kaise pata ke ye maine banaya hai" Kranti asked in a confusion

"Are kya baat kar rahi hai...in me bilkul alag suwaad hai. Jo teri mami ke chlon mein nahi hota.aur Lovely ko 'kamchori' ki bimari hai wo tu banane se rahi......aur sun tere aur Nirmal waste bhi kuch phal laya hoon...tum dono kha lena"

"ji..achcha" kranti smiled.

"Tujhe pata hai na...tere Sohan tau ji aa rahe " asked Mamaji

"Sachchi.mama ji... tauji aap se milne aa rahe hain"asked a very surprised Kranti.

"kyun tujhe Mami ne nahi bataya"

"nahi mama ji" she replied.

"Achcha koi baat nahi tu ja kar aaram kar thak gayi hogi ...jab aayein to mil lena" Mama said.

He knew if he talked further she would ask the same question and he wouldn?t be able to say anything. Kranti went to her room to finish the work, which was pending.

"Tau ji ke aane se pehle kaam kar lena hai maine"warna phir bahut garbar ho jayegi?

She started cleaning up and hung the photo frames and started cleaning her bookcase. There were some old newspapers in the bottom shelf she took one of them and stared at it for a while then put them back and got busy in some other work.

Many hours passed by but she didn?t realize the time. She started reading some book and dozed of while reading. Her sleep broke as the door creaked and she saw a while past since she dozed off.

'kya tau ji aa kar chale gaye...aur mein soti reh gayi,' thought Kranti. She jumped out of her chair to see what is happening. She saw her Mama ji with Tau ji and some other men in 'Bethak' (living room). She put the book on the shelf and left the room for kitchen.

She saw Niraml working in kitchen as she entered. "uth gayi tu....mujhe laga thori deir aur so gi...is wajah se utahaya nahi? Nirmla clearified.

"Par mami ji ne kuch nahi kaha tujh se..."

"kaha tha pagli.....par baghair wajah tang (bother) karne ki aadat nahi hai meri...pata tha ke tu safai kar rahi thi. Aur teri ankh lag gayi....isiliye nahi utaya..ab ..ja ja kar bahar jakar lassi..de..de

She went out with few glasses in a tray. She greeted as entered the 'Bethak'

"Namaste.....tauji kaise hain aap"

"Are kranti puttar tu.....mein theek hoon tu kaisi hai?"

"bas rab ki kripa hai"Kranti replied.

Sohan tau saw her after a long time and he wanted to talk to her. He always considered her as his daughter. He was happy to see her and Kranti enjoyed talking to him. She took away glasses as they finished lassi. They changed the topic as she left the room. Kranti sensed it but didn?t want to disturb them. She knew something very important was baing discussed but what it was. Why her Mama ji always change topic when she asked those questions? Nirmal saw Kranti lost in deep thoughts.

"kya hua.kuch kaha bau ji ne?" Nirmal asked.

"nahi didi.bas aise hi" she assured her.

"achcha sun aaj teri notes mein madad chahiye.....ab tu yahin hai to achcha hai....ja mere kamre mein copy rakhi hai le aa" Nirmal said.

Kranti enjoyed helping Nirmal with her homework so she went to take the notebook.

Some voices got her attention as she passed 'Bethak.'

"Bahut dukh hota hai.jab Kranti ko dekhta hoon" said one voice

This statement brought tears in her eyes. She could imagine the scene at the moment.

"woh to aksar krantikaariyon ke bare mein pochti hain par mein nahi batata......darta hoon ke kahin apni behan ki anmol nishani ko bedil duniya ke bheer (crowd) mein kho na doon." The voice explained.

"haan...par uski aankhon mein uske Pita (father) jaisa junoon hain aur dil mein Maa jaisa hosla" said the second voice.

"haan...abhi nahi......par kuch salon mein zaroor bataonga.......aur mein banaonga apni kranti ko krantikari......darta hoon abhi bataya to kya hoga ....jawaan khoon hai...kahin josh mein apne aap ko kisi mushkil mein na dal de..bari mushkilon se guzri hai ye bachchi...par haan zamana ki ghatna se bakhabar hai." Assured first voice.

"achcha ha........hum krantikariyon ko Kranti puttar jaise desh bahkton ki zaroorat hai" said tauji with so proud.

They continued their conversation for a long time and Kranti heard them with out letting them know. It was a good opportunity to discuss ?krantikaris? issue, as Mami ji was busy with one of neighbor to chat with. Kranti heard their talk and felt like her world came to an end. She went to room hiding her pain. She sat against the wall and cried her heart out.😭

Rajbir's house

Bua ji was so happy that her kake (Rajbir) came back from England. She never wanted him to go but could not do any thing as Rajbir himself wanted to be a Barrister. It has been few days when Raj came back to Lahore. He could see that there is a big difference in India and England. He was given so much love, which caused his arrogance in many ways. He was still a sweet-hearted guy for his family. He just woke up when bua ji entered the room.

"uth gaya tu..le tere waste chai layi hoon pi le," Bua ji said.

He spread his hand to take the cup and sipped it.

"Puttar ab teri parai .tu ho gayi ......kuch dino mein kachehri bhi jana shuru kar dena hai"said Bua ji

"ji....bua ji" said Raj and planned to take another sipped.

"ab ye bata shaadi kab kar raha hai" he choked at hearing this...😆

Preview- Kranti in jungle😆; Raj's car breaks down.
