OS 1
Onu watched Taani run off and quickly proceeded to follow her when he was
stopped by his mother.
"Onu? Tu kahaan jaaraha hai?" she smiled
"Maa, mujhe Taani se baat karni hai"
"Baad main karle. Chal, aah" she said leading him to where Robbie and
Jonaki were stood.
Onu kept scanning the room to see where Taani could appear out of, but she was
nowhere to be seen, neither was Laboni maa.
"Maa?"
"Haan?"
"Main abhi aaya" he said and she nodded
"Acha, theek hai. Jaa"
Onu walked down the corridor that Taani disappeared into and heard voices
coming from one of the rooms.
He slowly approached the room and recognised the voices, it was Taani and
Laboni maa.
"Maa, aap ne kyun baat kiya usse? Aapko pata hai ke vo nahin sun-ne
vaala"
"Taani, tu meri baat diyaan se sun, main tujhe yeh nahin karne
doonghi" Laboni told her "bilkul nahin karnedoonghi!" she cried.
Onu overheard, confused.Why was Laboni maa crying? What was Taani going to do?
What was going on?
"Maa" Taani sighed "main aapko kitni baar samjhaoon? Mujhe yeh
karna hoga. Aap Onu ke baare main sochiye" she said and Laboni let out a
sigh of frustration.
Onu stood there, even more confused. What was she going to do now? What other
sacrifice would Taani make for his sake?
"Maa, aap..." Taani stopped midway. Onu hid around the corner as he
saw Taani's shadow leave the room but Taani went back into the room and lowered
her voice. "maa? Aap yeh baat ko yahin khatam kariye. Kohi aajaayegha.
Mujhe ab yehkarni pareghi"
"Onu? Tu yahaan?" a voice said and he swung to see his mother stood
there.
"Haan maa. Main Taani ko doondraha tha." he said and Taani and Laboni
appeared in front of them.
"Di? Aap yahaan hain. Main aapko kab se doondrahi thi" she smiled
"Haan, vo main..." she trailed off. Onu watched Taani stood there
uncomfortably, not meeting his gaze. She wasn't going to tell him so easily. He
knew Taani that much.
"Chalo di, Taani"
"Haan, chal" Laboni said looking at Taani helplessly before walking
off with Neelu.
Onu took Taani's arm to stop her. He heard her sigh quietly before turning to
him. "kya hua Onu? Chal na" she told hi
"Taani?" he said looking down at her hands as he took them in hers.
"Haan?"
"Sab theek to hai na?" he asked, knowing full well what she'd say.
But that wasn't important, right now, reading her eyes was much more important
to him.
"Haan Onu, sab theek hai" she told him, smiling as her eyes gave him
the false hope that he was expecting.
"To phir pehle kya tha? Tu itni pareshan kyun thi? Huh?"
"Vo?" she asked, taking a second to think of something as Onu nodded
in reply. "vo main to bas, aise hi.."
"Acha?" he asked
"Haan. Tujhe to pata hain na Onu, main bas aise kabraahjaati hoon"
"Taani?" Laboni called.
"Aayi maa!" she called back "chal" she smiled "sab
intezaar kar-rahe honge" she said and he watched her walk off.
Onu sighed, running his hand through his hair. He was beginning to get worried.
Not for himself, more for Taani. But how was he going to help her when he
didn't know what was going on? If Taani wouldn't tell him herself, he had to
find out some other way.
