Lost & Found

Tears run down DM's cheeks.

Santu(widout turning towards DM):Main hazar baar keh chuki hoon Raj,main nahi ruk sakti.Mujhe kal jana hi hoga.Agar..

She swallows hard.

Santu:Agar tumhe mujh par vishwas hai toh plz mujhe rukne k liye mat kaho...Main kamzor padna nahi chahti...😭

DM(senses dat she is crying & walks upto her):Mujhe tum par poora vishwas hai Santu... Lekin tumhare papa pe mujhe bilkul vishwas nahi hai!😡Kya guarantee hai is bat ki,ki woh tumhe phir se yahan aane denge?Jaisi hi tum wahan jaogi,waise hi woh... kya naam hai us ladke ka?

Santu:Hardik..

DM:Ha!Uske ma-baap bhi toh wahin rehte hain na?

Santu nods.

DM:Woh wahan jaakar sabse pehle tum dono ki... baat pakki kar denge!Aur main.. main yahan..😭

He's not able to speak anymore.

Santu:Maine kaha na,aisa kuch nahi hoga!Jaise hi mere haath me MBA ki degree aa jayegi,waise hi main Delhi wapis laut aaungi.Ghar se sabko bina bataye bhag k aana pada,toh woh bhi karungi!😛

DM:Aisa hai toh chalo,abhi bhag chalo mere saath!Hum dono kisi mandir me jaakar shaadi kar lete hain!Saari musibat hi khatm ho jayegi!

Santu:Hum aisa nahi kar sakte Raj... tum achche se jaante ho,phir bhi?

DM looks down.

Santu:MBA nahi karungi,toh mujhe kahin dhang ki naukri nahi milegi.Tum apne group k saath Navratri me ya koi function ho,wahan par perform kar k kitna kama loge?Usse hamara ghar-sansar nahi chal payega.Use chalane k liye aur sukh-suvidha wali zindagi jeene k liye paiso ki zaroorat toh padti hi hai,bolo?

DM:Mujhe nahi chahiye koi sukh ya suvidha...Main bas... tumhe chahata hoon aur main kisi bhi keemat par tumhe.. mujhse door jate huye nahi dekh sakta..😭

He starts crying.

Santu hugs him.

Santu:Raj...!Tum aisa karoge toh main kaise ja paungi,hmm?

She kisses his forehead.

Santu:Aur hum door hokar bhi door nahi honge.Main roz tumhe college k PCO se phone karungi,rozana mail karungi aur hum week me ek bar online chat bhi karenge.Tum dekhna,yeh 3 saal itni jaldi guzar jayenge ki tumhe pata bhi nahi chalega!😊

DM doesnt say anything.

Santu:Raj plz... plz... for my sake..

DM smiles a bit n kisses her.

DM:Only for ur sake...😊

Santu:Thank u!😃

3 years later...

Santu:Namaste Auntyji!😊

Aunty:Tum?😲Ab yahan kyun aayi ho?Dharamraj ne toh bahut pehle yeh ghar chhod diya..

Santu:Kya!?!😲😲

Aunty:Ha... kareeb ek-dedh saal hone aaye..Tumhe nahi pata?😲

Santu:Nahi.. aa.. aap bata sakti hain woh... a.. abhi kahan rehte hain?

Aunty:Kuch bataya toh nahi tha,lekin... ha!Woh mujhse aisa keh raha tha ki woh apne group k kisi dost k ghar kiraye pe rehne wala hai.

Santu:Achcha... Thank u auntyji!

Aunty:Yahan tak aa hi gayi ho,toh andar aa jao...

Santu:Nahi,nahi auntyji..Thank u!Main chalti hoon.😳

Santu enquires about DM from all of his friends,no1 knows his whereabouts.

Santu herself tries 2 search for DM,but to no avail.

Disheartened & left wid no other options,she returns 2 Mumbai.

Another 3 years later...

Santu:Aap theek se check kariye, plz..

Receptionist:Ma'm main check kar chuki hoon,ek baar nahi,teen baar!Aapka naam yahan registered nahi hai.U r sure na ki aapne phone se hamare hi hotel me kamra book karvaya tha?

Santu:Of course I am!Laiyye,zara mujhe aapka register bataiyye..Main dekhti hoon..

Receptionist:As u wish!😳

She hands over the register to her.

While Santu is scanning through the list of names,her eyes fall upon the name "Dharamraj M".

Santu stands still,da register still in her hands,totally shocked.

Receptionist:Dekh liya aapne?Ab yakeen aa gaya aapko?😡

Santu:Huh?😕

Receptionist:Hain kahin isme aapka naam?😡

Santu shakes her head.

Receptionist:Register dijiye plz..😡

Santu:1.. 1 second..

She sees in which room DM is put up & hands over the register to the receptionist.

Santu:Koi.. koi kamra khali hoga,toh main.. abhi le leti hoon.

Receptionist:Ma'm is waqt kamra khali milna mushqil hai,phir bhi main check kar k aapko batati hoon.Aap plz wahan baithiye..

Santu does as she is told.

Sometym later..

Receptionist:Ma'm,single room hai,chalega?

Santu:Kuch bhi chalega!Kaunse floor par?

Receptionist:9th floor.Yeh hai Ashok,yeh aapka saaman aapke room tak le jayega.Jao Ashok...

Santu:Thank u!😊

After the bellboy leaves,Santu locks her room & goes 2 da 5th floor.

She is about to knock da door of room no 501,wen..

Santu(thinks):Kya yeh sahi hoga?Suppose yeh Raj nahi,koi aur hua toh?

She is confused.

Santu(thinks):Toh kya hua?Sorry kehkar nikal jaungi!Chance le leti hoon!

She knocks on the door.

DM opens da door.

SanRaj look at each odr,shocked.

DM:Tum?😲Aa.. aao,andar aao.

Santu comes in & sits on one of the sofas,DM sits on the other.

DM:Kaisi ho tum?

Santu:Woh sab chhodo.Tum mujhe batao,tum kisiko bina bataye kahan gaayab ho gaye the?Tumhe pata hai kitna dhoondha tha maine tumhe?😭

DM:Tum.. wapis aayi thi?😲

Santu:Obviously aayi thi!Tumhe dhoond-dhoond kar thak gayi!Tumne apne group k doston ko bhi kuch nahi bataya?Aisa kya ho gaya tha haan?😡

DM:Depression..😔

Santu:Kya?😲O...

DM:Jab ek mahine k baad tumhare calls,mails aur chats band ho gaye toh main bahut depressed ho gaya tha.Mujhe laga tumhare papa ne tumhare chori pakad li aur.. tumhari shaadi us ladke se fix kar di hogi..😒

Santu:Ha,papa ne chori toh pakad li thi aur isiliye net connection katva diya tha..

DM:Maine bahot intezar kiya,par jab saal se zyada ho gaya aur tumhari koi khabar nahi aayi toh main toot gaya.Isiliye main apne gaon chala gaya.Bahot samay tak wahin raha.Maine wahan singing classes khol diye.Bachchon k saath rehta hoon, toh mera man behal jata hai,aur toh zindagi me kuch raha hi nahi..😭

DM wipes his tears.

DM:Un mahino me jab bhi mujhe tumhari bahut yad aati thi main akela India Gate chala jata tha.Tumhe yaad hai,wahan hum sabse zyada milte the?😍

Santu nods.

DM:Wahan jane se mujhe ek ajeeb sa sukoon milta tha..Khair,meri chhodo,apni sunao.

He notices da mangalsutra round her neck.

DM:Hardik... kaisa hai?

Santu:Pata nahi...

DM:Kya?😲😕

Santu:Hmm...Meri usk saath papa ne zabardasti sagai karva di thi.Lekin MBA khatm karne k baad,main ghar se bhag kar yahan aa gayi,tumhare liye.Par.. jab tum nahi mile toh mujhe wapis lautna pada.Hardik aur uski family ne mera rishta thukra diya..

DM:Toh tumne..?

Santu:Papa ne zabardasti apne friend k bete k saath mere shadi karva di,main Delhi se lauti,usk 1 saal baad..😭

None of dem speaks for a long tym after dat.

DM:Yahan.. kaise?

Santu:India Gate k wahan jo Duet Singing Competition ho raha hai wahan..

DM(interrupts her):Main bhi.. us hi k liye..

Santu:O.. All the best!👍🏼

DM:Thanks,same 2 u!😊

Santu:Thanks!Toh ab main chalti hoon.Sham ko India Gate par... mulaqat hogi..

DM:Hmm,shayad ek aakhri baar..😒

Santu leaves.

Dat evening...

Anchor:Aur ab Kishor da aur Lata di k duets ki baari hai!Round 2 ki shuruat karte hain!Toh chaliye dekhte hain sabse pehle duet kaun gaanewale hain...

He takes out one chit each from two bowls.

Anchor:Inke naam hai Dharamraj aur Santu!😊

Everyone applauds while SanRaj look at each other.

Anchor:Aur aapko gana hai-Hazar rahe mud k dekhi,from the movie Thodi Si Bewafai. Plz cm up on the stage.

SanRaj prepare demselves for the song.

Anchor:Ready?

SanRaj nod.

Anchor:Gr8!All the best!👍🏼Subhash,parda khol do..

Santu:All the best!👍🏼

DM:Thanks!Tumhe bhi.Yeh gana Bhagwan ka bheja hua hai..

Santu:Matlab?😕

DM:Yeh hamare liye bana..😔

He stops speaking as the musicians start playing.

DM:Hazar rahe mud k dekhi
Kahin se koi sada na aayi

Santu:Badi wafa se
Nibhayi tumne
Humari thodi si bewafai..

SanRaj look at each other,da lyrics of the song resonating in their aching hearts.

DM:Jahan se tum mod mud gaye the..

He recalls der meetings at the India Gate garden.

DM:Jahan se tum mod mud gaye the
Ye mod ab bhi wahi pade hain..

Santu:Hum apne pairon me jaane kitne
Bhanvar lapete huye khade hain..
Badi wafa se,nibhayi tumne
Humari thodi si bewafai..

She tries to control the tears which threaten to flow out of her eyes.

DM:Kahin kisi roz yun bhi hota..
Hamari haalat tumhari hoti..

Santu recalls how she used to stay awake till da wee hours of the morning & cry for DM.

Santu:Jo rat humne guzari mar k..
Wo rat tumne guzari hoti..
Badi wafa se,nibhayi tumne
Humari thodi si bewafai..

DM senses da grief in her voice,but is unable to comfort her.

DM:Unhe yeh zidd thi ki hum bulate,
Humein yeh ummeed woh pukare..

Santu:Hain naam ab bhi labon pe lekin..
Aawaaz me pad gayi daraarein..
Badi wafa se,nibhayi tumne
Humari thodi si bewafai..
Humari thodi se bewafai...

The audience cheers for them & applauds dem while SanRaj control der emotions & descend the stage.

2 days later in Mumbai..

"Aa gayi tum?"😃

Santu's husband hugs her.

Husb:Congratulations!😃Kitne paise mile?

Santu:Thank u!25,000..

Husb:Great!Aise kyun keh rahi ho?Arent u happy?😃

Santu nods & gives a fake smile.

Husb:Toh khushi ko zahir karo na!Chalo aj sham ko hum Juhu beach chalenge,tumhari treat!Achcha abhi cheque deDo,main sambhaal kar rakh deta hoon.😃

Santu hands him da cheque.

Her husband happily takes it & thrusts it in his pocket.

Husb:Ab jaldi se fresh ho jao,phir khana laga do.Shaam ko Megha ko lene jayenge mummy k yahan se,bichari tumhare aane ka besabri se intezar kar rahi hai!

Santu looks at the framed photo of her daughter n gives a faint smile.

SAntu(thinks):Jo maine khoya hai uska dukh jo maine paya hai uski khushi se bahut zyada hai..😔

She looks at the trophy n sighs.

Santu(thinks):Kaash maine tumhari baat man li hoti ,Raj, aur us hi din tumhare saath shadi kar li hoti.. Toh aaj..😭

Husb:Areh Santu,zara yahan toh aao...!

Santu:Aayi...!

She wipes her tears,throws the trophy on the sofa & goes inside.
