for you Imran...!
Milind dialed her number for the umpteenth time but all he got was "the number you're trying is not responding at the moment", frustrated with the situation and mostly at her for always keeping him on his toes he waved a rough hand through his curly hair.How could she always manage to scare me?God! Prachi god is my witness had I not loved you obsessively I would have been a sane man.
Dialing another number he spoke tersely "Yes'Yes I know'main aa raha hoon."With that he took his keys from the table and went out.
Milind pressed the door-bell impatiently and when her father opened the door for him he said in an apologetic tone "I Am sorry Papa!Fir se aapko humari waja-"
Inder,his father-in-law raised his hand and cut him in between "Tum dono bachche ho humare'bas itni hi shikayat hai ki tumlog samajhdaar hoke bhi samajhdari se kaam nahi lete ho.Yeh sab kab tak chalega?Jao wo apne kamre mein hai."
Milind nodded solemnly and went upstairs taking two stairs at a time and loudly pushed the door open.He saw her turning at the sound towards him and noticed her red and puffy eyes.Great!talk about a woman,first she scares you and then cries herself only.
He accused in his heavy accent "You left me'Again!"
Prachi folded her arms over her chest and the whirpool of her eyes earlier beaming with tears turned angry "Oh yes!Mr.Milind Mishra I left you for good this time."
Milind walked with an angry pace "Sweetheart you don't mean this,I know you Mrs.Prachi Milind Mishra you love me just too much to leave me good or not."
Prachi starting moving back and shuddered as she saw him coming closer "N-No Milind,aap mere paas nahi ayenge..Milind aise koi problem nahi solve hoti hai" she gave a loud shriek when he engulfed her in his arms and said "Pata hai par main baton mein waqt kyu zaya karun jab meri biwi mere itne kareeb hai aur gusse se aur bhi sundar lag rahi hai."
Prachi hit his chest "Milind shaadi in sabke aage bhi hai,sirf shareer chahne se pyar nahi hota-" he abruptly held her shoulders tightly and pressed her into his body "Shareer?haan main tujhe haasil karna chahta hoon har waqt 'par sirf shareer?yeh sochti hai tu?Jaan se zyada chahta hoon tujhe aur pata hai kya yeh tu bhi janti hai'.saari raat tere bagal main baitha rehta hai yeh tera pati jab tu bimaar hoti hai aur tujhe lagta hai sirf iss shareer se mujhe pyar hai?tu roti hai toh khud se nafrat ho jati hai ki tujhe khush hi nahi rakh paya aur tu kehti hai-"'
He freed her when she stammered "Jab itna chahte hai toh meri baat nahi sunte hai aap'kyu har waqt rulate hai?kyu aisa karte hai aap?"
Milind looked into her eyes "Tujhe pata hai pagal ho jata hoon jab bhi tu mujhe chhod ke chali aati hai'yeh kaisa bachpana hai?tu ab college jane wali ladki nahi rahi..biwi hai,maa hai'tujhe samajh kyu nahi aata!Ashik hai bas do saal ka par use pata hai main kab aata hoon'wo toh shaam ko mujhe na pakar chup hi nahi hota hai aur fir tu fir se- yeh gussa tere aur humare hone wale bachche ke liye achcha nahi hai."
Prachi wiped her cheek a little too roughly as a lone tear cascaded down her cheek and said "Aapko fikar hai humare bache ki,ashik ki aur meri?"
Milind spoke in a whisper "Tu aur bachche hi toh sab kuch hai mera."
Prachi took a step towards him and said "Then why don't you understand Milind,aapka gussa hi humari mushqilo ki jhad hai'.college mein aap har us insaan ko chot pohchate the jo mujhe galti se bhi ghor le'main tab samjhaati thi par aap humesha mujhe daba dete the,meri baton ka koi mol nahi hota tha.Aap jaisa kehte main waisa karti'mujhe toh yaad bhi nahi aapne ladai ke alawa college main kuch kiya bhi ho.Aapse dur hone ka jab sochti ki agar aapse dur huyi toh shayad yeh sab band ho jayega par nahi baat aur bigadti aur fir apne pyar ke aage jhukna padta'par yeh sab kab tak chalega aap bataiye.Main Ashik se kya kahu ki kyu mujhe har waqt uske papa se alag lana padta hai'he looks up to you and you know this.Rota hai humara bachcha jab main use yahan lati hoon'kabhi socha hai jab mera bachcha rota hai aur main kuch nahi kar sakti toh kaisa lagta hoga mujhe?"
She took hold of his shirt and said pulling him towards her "marti hoon uss pal main,aapko pata hai Milind jab Ashik hua tha tab laga tha aap uske pyar se badal jayenge par aisa nahi hua..ma-main nahi chahti thi dusra bachcha kyunki main samajh gayi thi aapka gussa ek na ek din humare bachcho ke saamne aayega'.ghin aati hai ek maa hoke bhi main yeh socha ki mujhe mera bachcha nahi chahiye"
Saying she sild down and started crying and whispered "main bahot buri hoon'apn-apne bachche ke liye maine socha.."
Milind pooled down near her and said "mujhe nahi pata tha ki meri wajah se tujhe itna sehna pada'tujhse achchi maa toh koi ho hi nahi sakti aur tera yeh sochna iss baat ka sabot hai ki meri wajah se tujhe kitni takleef huyi hai'main wada karta hoon main sab chhod dunga par tu mujhe mat chhod'main kabhi apne bachcho ko wo dekhne bhi nahi dunga jisse tujhe guzarna pada meri wajah se'.main tujhse bahot pyar karta hoon Prachi bas iss baar mujhe mauka de de.."
Prachi like a baby went into his arms and her crying took more pace,she hiccupped and said "Do-don't ever do anything like this'I love you very much but I wont subject our children to your violence'I-I'main aapke begair mar jaungi mat mujhe majbur kareiyega aapse alag hone ke liye.."
Milind rubbed his cheek over her hair "kabhi nahi'Ashik kahan hai?"
Prachi rubbed her nose on his shirt "Papa ke kamre mein'.mujhe pata tha aap yahan ayenge aur fir baat badegi".
Milind huskily "Kya wo doctor ne mana kiya?"
Prachi shied and pressed her nose further into his chest "haan abhi na-nahi..shayad kuch din baad."
Milind groaned "god!i hate your gynecologist'I think I'll go and get Ashik and take my family home then."
Later Milind was idly watching his wife and son sleeping when he thought about all the pain he has caused her.Looking back now he admitted that she was right'he was a possessive man,being in love with her was one of the most beautiful thing.He would beat the crap out of any man who as much just stares at her'he wondered why she loved him he was all about vices.He remembered when at one time she asked to break-off and how he made everyone's life hell including hers,he actually threatened her to do something with his life and he knew the fact he loved him like crazy'hurting him would be the last thing she'd want for him.He was a brute,to possess her and have her completely he married her in haste and then hardly a year later he became a father.Looking at Ashik his chest swelled with pride'he loved his baby to bits.he kissed Ashik's forehead and then proceeded to kiss his wife's womb.It then dawned upon him his insecurity about life and relations having never had one had hurt the one he loves the most'Love is all about giving a chance and taking a risk knowing you'll never be sorry and with that he kissed his wife's lips softly.
Anger and Love have no limits'.but when they get together they destroy even the most beautiful of relations'
