Chapter 3
Kuch Anjaana Sa Ehsaas - Part 1
The Kolkata train stopped at Kalyan Junction [a railway station just before Mumbai] for twenty minutes break on its way to Mumbai. Anurag saw that Nupur was sleeping peacefully.
"Nupur ko neend se uthte hi bhukh lagti hai, par khaane ko toh kuch nahi hai. Dekhta hoon idhar kuch milta hai kya." Anurag thought in mind.
He got down from the train and went to a nearby stall to buy some food for Nupur. But the salesman was not there. Anurag decided to wait as there was only one food stall. After 15 mins, the salesman came.
Anurag- Bhaia, do pav bhaji dena.
Salesman- Jee abhi deta hoon.
Salesman got busy in making pav bhaji.
Anurag- Jaldi kariye please.
Salesman- Jee bas 2 mins.
Just then Anurag heard the sound of the train. He turned back in shock and saw the train leaving. Without thinking anything, he started running toward the moving train but he failed to catch it. The train left and Anurag was left worried and sad.
"Damn! Aab kya karu." He said to himself.
He ran to the office.
Anurag (worriedly)- Mumbai ke liye agli train kab aayegi?
Boss- 2 ghante baad.
Anurag (sadly)- Theek hai, thanks.
Anurag left from the office and sat on the bench on the platform.
"Anjaan sheher mein Nupur akeli kaise manage karegi?! Mujhe train mein hi rehena chahiye tha. Damn! Mujhe jald se jald Mumbai pohochna padega. Kaali Maa, please meri behen ki raksha karna." He said worriedly and sadly. He kept waiting for the next train with a sad and worried face.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Kolkata train arrived in Mumbai Railway Station. There was an announcement going on in the station which waked Nupur up.
"Onu Da, hum Mumbai pohoch gaye kya?" Nupur yawningly said.
There was no response. Nupur realizes that Anurag was not there. She shockingly opened her eyes and sat. No one was there.
"Onu Da, Onu Da! Kaha ho aap?" She kept calling.
But she got no response. Tears started to roll from her eyes. She was shivering in fear.
"Kaha chale gaye Onu Da?" She cryingly said.
She stood up and went out of the train carrying their two luggage bags. She searched for her brother everywhere in the railway station but she didn't find him.
After this failure, she sat on the bench in a platform and started crying. An old woman saw her crying & sat beside her.
Woman- Kya hua beti? Ro kyun rahi ho?
Nupur- Maa ji, main apne dada ke saath Kolkata se Mumbai aayi huyi hoon. Par pata nahi ke woh kaha chale gaye. Kahi nahi mil rahe mujhe.
Woman [wiping out Nupur's tears]- Dekho rou mat. Himmat se kaam lo. Tumhare dada yehi kahi honge.
Nupur- Kahi nahi hai. Maine sab jagah dekha.
Woman- Kahi unhone train miss toh nahi kardi!?! Oh haan, Mumbai aate waqt Kolkata train Kalyan Junction mein 20 mins ke liye rukhti hai. Shayad waha tumhare dada ne train miss kardi.
Nupur [worriedly]- Shayad aap theek kehe rahe honge. Abhi main kya karu?
Woman- Tum ek kaam kar sakti ho. Office jaake pata karo ke Kolkata ki agli train kab aayegi. Shayad tumhare dada agli train se Mumbai aa jaaye.
Nupur- Theek hai, main yehi karti hoon. Aap please mere luggages ka dhyaan rakhiyega.
Woman [smilingly]- Jee bilkul. Tum jao.
Nupur ran to the office and asked the boss about the time of Kolkata's next train. The boss replied that the train would come after 3 hours. Nupur just nodded and left the office.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Nupur came back to the platform where she was sitting but she saw no one there.
"Woh Maa ji kaha chali gayi? Aur mera luggage? Sab kaha gaya?" She worriedly said to herself.
She realized that the old woman whom she was talking to was actually a thief. She slammed her forehead with her palm and sat on the bench with a worried and annoyed expression.
"Iss sheher mein budhe log bhi chor hai, yeh maine aaj jana! Kya kya sapne leke aayi thi aur kya ho gaya! Mere aur Onu Da ke kapre, paisa, jaha pe hum log rehena wale the waha ke address, mera Mumbai audition ka card, sab chala gaya! Agar yehi sab hona tha toh phir yaha kyun le aaye mujhe Kaali Maa? Onu Da ka wait karne ke ilava aab mere pas aur koi raasta nahi hai." She said to herself.
She kept sitting on the bench and suddenly rainfall started. She quickly put her dupatta on her head and ran to a corner to save herself from the rainfall. Just then, some goons surrounded her. She got scared and started struggling to escape but she failed. One of the goons from the gang held her hand and forcefully started taking her to their jeep. She pleaded to that goon to leave her but all these were of no use.
Mayank was drinking tea in a nearby stall. He saw that some goons were harrassing a girl which was actually Nupur. He could not see the girl's face as her back was towards him. Mayank started walking to them to save the girl.
"Ladki ko chod de." Mayank said angrily.
One of the goons recognised Mayank and said, "Arey Mayank bhai, aap? Aap iss maamle mein maat padhiye. Bohot dino ke baad toh ek pataka haath aayi hai."
Another goon of that gang forwarded his hand to take off Nupur's dupatta, just then from behind, Mayank held his wrist very tightly with a furious look.
"Chod iss ka dupatta. Maine kaha chod, warna aisa haal karunga ke khud ko pehechan nahi payega." Mayank threated the goon.
Without looking at Nupur's face, he softly told her near her ear, "Tu please zaara side mein jaa."
Nupur nodded and while fixing her dupatta, she went to a corner. A goon from behind Mayank tried to hit him by a hockey stick but Mayank, just like a hero, held the stick without even turning back. Here started the fight between our hero Mayank and those idiot goons. Mayank thrashed all of them. He kicked them and punched them very badly.The goons got scared and all ran away.
Mayank was about to leave. Just then Nupur comes from behind.
Nupur [gently]- Suniye!
Mayank [while turning back]- Thanks bolne ki koi...
He stopped right at that time seeing the angelic face of Nupur. There started a huge blow of the wind for which Nupur's red dupatta was flying in the air. Her hairs were untied and wet. Raindrops on her face made her even more beautiful and gorgeous. Mayank kept staring at the girl who was just looking an angel to him. Mayank's staring session went on for few minutes. Nupur walked to Mayank and Mayank was just standing there still and staring at her.
Nupur [slightly smiling]- Shukriya, meri help karne ke liye.
There was no response from Mayank. Nupur waved her hand in front of Mayank.
Nupur- Aap theek toh hai naa?
Mayank [lost in his dream world]- White suit, bagicha..!
Nupur [confused]- Jee?
Mayank [stammered and out of words]- N...n..ahi, m..m..matlab, haan.. m..m..mera matlab hai ke main theek hoon! Aur shukria bolne ki zarurat nahi hai. Teri jagah aur koi bhi hota, phir bhi main yehi karta.
Nupur [gently]- Phir bhi thank you.
Mayank smilingly nodded.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Just when he was about to go, he thought to ask her something. He turned back and saw Nupur standing at a corner worriedly. He went to her and stood beside her.
Mayank [concernedly]- Tere ko kya koi pareshaani hai?
"Inhone meri jaan bachaayi hai, yeh acche insaan hi honge." Nupur thought in mind.
Nupur [worriedly]- Jee haan pareshaani toh hai.
Mayank [gently]- Kya main teri kuch help kar sakta hoon?
Nupur [confused and worried]- Shayad haan, ya shayad nahi bhi. Actually mujhe pata nahi.
Mayank [sweetly]- Tu bol teri problem kya hai.
Nupur [sadly]- Woh actually main aur mere dada Kolkata se Mumbai aa rahe the. Pichle railway station pe dada ka train chut gaya aur main yaha akeli aa gayi. Aur yaha aake mera saara saamaan jis mein mere aur mere dada ke kapre, humare kuch paise jo humne bohot mehenat se kamaya tha, humare kuch zaruri kagaz, sab chori ho gaya.
"Chori ho gaya?! Saare choro ki gang ko toh main janta hoon. Iss ka saamaan mere ko laana padega. Warna bechari musibat mein padh sakti hai." Mayank thought in mind.
Mayank- Tu tension mat le. Main tera saamaan laa dunga. Fikar mat kar.
Nupur [confused]- Par aap kaise?
Mayank [confident]- Woh sab tu mujhpe chod de. Maine bola naa, tera sab saamaan tere paas aa jayega. [softly] Abhi tu ek kaam kar. Mere saath chal, mere ghar.
Nupur [confused and nervous]- Par.. maine.. aap ke ghar?!?!
Mayank [friendly]- Arey tension mat le! Main unn gundo ke jaisa nahi hoon. Issi liye toh tere ko bachaya. Bharosa rakh. Main sach mein teri help karna chahta hoon, apni behen ki kasam.
Nupur [confused]- Par aap meri help kyun karna chahte hai?
Mayank [slammed his forehead with his palm]- Hey bhagwaan! Tu bohot sawal poochti hai. Accha theek hai, insaaniyat ke naate main teri help karna chahta hoon. Abhi chal mere saath. Yaha rahena theek nahi hai. 3 ghante baad main tere ko yaha leke aayunga tere bhai se milaane. Abhi chal.
Nupur nodded positively. She went with Mayank and sat with him on his bike.
"Tight se mere ko pakadh, warna ghir jayegi." Mayank said to Nupur.
Nupur held Mayank's waist hesitantly with her shivering hands. Mayank felt something strange with Nupur's touch. The effect of Nupur's touch on him was quite visible on his face. He was feeling strange yet amazing with this touch.
"Anjaan hote huye bhi kyun main inhe mana nahi kar payi? Kaali Maa, yeh kya ho raha hai? Kismaat mere aur dada ke saath kya khel khel rahi hai?!" Nupur thought with a confused look. Mayank started his bike and set off to his home.

Friends,
First of all, I am really sorry for such a short update after a long wait and I really apologize from my heart to all Taanu fans as I could not write anything about them. I am really ill these days, that's why could not post a long update. SO SORRY! And I don't know about train journey, for this, there can be some mistakes. Please forgive me for that. Anyways, hope you all liked Mayur's first meeting. Eagerly waiting for your comments/criticise. Will update soon, promise!
