Chapter 36

Mumbai

Sonam, Anjali, Sriti & Harshad had reached Arjun's home and were greeted by the housekeeper Maria. She was very happy to see Sonam back. She showed them to their rooms. Sonam had her own room here. Anjali was given the guest room next to Sonam's and Harshad & Sriti were showed their individual rooms on the groud floor. The house was huge. It was sort of a mini-mansion with many rooms and beautiful interiors.

They all had some snacks while chatting with Maria. As all of them were tired, they had early dinner and called it a day.

Sonam was in her room but sleep was far away from her eyes. This place had so many memories. She used to have nightmares after that incident and Diya would sit beside her to make sure she sleeps well. The common door between Sonam & Diya's rooms was never locked since then. She had spent a very good time here in the company of her Arjun Bhai n Diya Bhabi.

Sonam was tossing and turning in her bed. She was tired and restless. So she finally decided to go to Diya's room. It had been her habit. Whenever she was not able to sleep here, she would go to Diya and they would talk throughout the night, till Sonam was asleep.

Diya's Room

Sonam entered Diya's room after two years. It was still the same. Still the pictures of Arjun, Diya & Sonam were hanging on the walls. There was a picture of the three of them on the bedside table. Sonam opened the wardrobe to find all of Diya's clothes hanging there. She was tearful seeing all those things which were once used by Diya. The dressing table still held her perfumes and accessories, her bangles, her cosmetics. Her jewellery boxes were still placed in one of the sections of the wardrobe. There were Arjun's clothes next to Diya's, just the way they r in any normal couple's wardrobe.

Sonam was going through all the stuff when she came across diaries in one corner of Diya's side of wardrobe. There were diaries for every year till then. The topmost diary was of two years ago. Sonam wondered how that diary came there as Diya always used to keep her latest diary with her. She decided to think about it later.

There was a knock at the common door and Sonam wondered who it was. The door opened a little and it was Anjali.

Anjali (hesitantly): May I come in??

Sonam (wiping her tears): Sure. Come in.

Anjali (entering the room): Wo... I knocked at ur door but u didn't answer. It was not locked and when I opened it to see if u were there or not, I found ur room empty. There was some sound of sliding of doors (as Sonam was shuffling through the wardrobes) n I guessed that u must b here.

Sonam: It's okay. U don't need to explain. I just wanted to spend some time here.

Anjali scanned the room. The room was beautiful. She saw the pictures on the walls and the bedside table but did not say anything.

Anjali: It's a beautiful room.

Sonam (stated simply): It belongs to Diya Bhabi.

Anjali (looking at the poster size picture of Arjun & Diya): Diya was beautiful!!

Sonam (wiping her tears): Yeah!! She was the best.

Anjali (still looking at the picture): U miss her a lot.

It was not a question. It was a statement.

Sonam (not bothering to wipe her tears this time): We all do. U can never forget someone like her. She was like a breeze of fresh air in a very monotonous & suffocating life. She would never let anything hurt her loved ones. May b she gave us a lot of pain when she left, but we can never forget the love we got from her. She was like an elder sister, like a mother. She supported me when I was feeling alone. She would listen to all I had to say & never judged me for whatever happened. She never blamed me for all that happened. She was the one who gave me a shoulder to cry when I felt I can't hold my tears. She was the most selfless person I ever came across in my life. (pause) U know what, people always have some motive when they try to b nice to us, but she never thought like that. She would see the best in people & deal with them with a positive approach. When she left, I couldn't even cry my heart out. Bhai was shattered. My tears would have hurt him more. So I stayed strong for him. I never mourned Bhabi's loss in front of Bhai till date. Tears r my companions when m alone with Bhabi. For the rest, Sonam is still a cheerful, bubbly girl with no worry in the world. (pause - she realized she spoke much more than she had intended) M sorry.

Anjali (surprisingly turning towards her) For what??

Sonam: I shouldn't have said all that in front of u. U have nothing to do with all this. Anyways. It's quite late. U should sleep now.

Anjali: Can I ask u something?? Will u b honest while answering??

Sonam: Sure.

Anjali: Why do I feel that u don't like me??

Sonam (confused): Excuse me??

Anjali: Sbke liye koi rishta hai. Payal tumhari jiji, Khushi tumhari Pari Dii, Akash or NK jiju, Rohan or Arjun bhai, Lavanya Bhabi, Rishi tumhare liye Rish, Sapna tumhare liye Dreamy, Harshad Sriti first name basis, even Chhote b Mr. Raizada. Lekin mai kuch b nai. Aisa kyu?? Tum mujhe pasand nai karti na??

Sonam (taking a deep breath): Bilkul sahi samjha aapne. Nai karti.

Anjali (calmly): Or aisa kyu??

Sonam: Kyuki mujhe lagta hai k aap Diya Bhabi ki jagah lene ki koshish kar rahi ho.

Anjali was surprised. She had not seen this coming.

Anjali: Tumhe aisa kyu lagta hai??

Sonam: Bachhi nai hu mai. Mere aas paas jo chalta hai wo dikhayi deta hai mujhe. Aapka Arjun Bhai k kareeb rehna sab neglect kar rahe hain, but I have noticed the way u look at him, the way u try to get closer to him, the way u coerce him into taking his meals, the way u suddenly plan lunch or dinner to spend time with him under the pretext of friendship. But let me tell u one thing very clearly, stop doing all that. Diya Bhabi ki jagah koi nai le sakta. Bhai bohat mushkil se thoda sambhalne lage hain. Mai nai chahti k wo fir se hurt ho. N ur track record with my family is confirming my fears. Jiji or Pari Dii aapki wajah se kafi kuch bhugat chuki hain. Not my brother now. Please. Just leave him alone. Mai nai chahti k aap unhe fir se muskurana sikhayein or fir unhe akela chhodh dein. I have handled him somehow after Bhabi. I don't think it will b possible for the second time.

Anjali (smiling through tears): Aaiye. Baith k baat krte hain.

She took Sonam to Diya's bed and took a seat next to her.

Anjali (holding Sonam's hand): Aapko aisa kyu lagta hai k mai Arjun ko kbi hurt kar sakti hu?? Mai aapki Diya Bhabi ki jagah nai lena chahti Sonam. Mai apni khud ki jagah bnana chahti hu unke dil mein. Shyam ne jo kia wo meri galti nai thi.

Sonam: I know. Wo aapki galti nai thi. Lekin usko jaise aapne deal kia, wo aapki galti thi.

Anjali: Maanti hu. Shayad mai uss waqt ye soch rahi thi k agar mere pati ne mujhe chhod dia toh mai kya karungi. M handicapped Princess. Unhone mujhse shaadi kar k mujhpe ehsaan hi kia tha. Chhote ki zimmedari baant li unhone. Mere Chhote k paas apne life k baare mein b sochne ka time that. Usse pehle unke liye sirf unki Dii matter karti thi. Hum nahi chahte the k humari chinta mein wo apni zindagi jeena bhul jae. Or iss sab mein mai apne pati k liye ek khilona bn gai. Wo jo karte usse sahi maan leti. Unki galtiyan, unke dhokhe nazarandaaz karti rahi. Sirf uss ehsaan k liye jo unhone mujhse shadi kar k kia. Ye socha hi nai k iss sbme or kitni zindagiyan barbaad ho rahi thi. Or jb samjha, tb tk bohat der ho gai thi. (sighing) Mai ye nai keh rahi Princess k jo hua wo sb khwaab samajh k bhul jao. Lekin agar ho sake toh hume ek mauka de do. Shayad tumhare Arjun Bhai ki zindagi mein b khushiyan laut aayein. Hum waada karte hain k hum kbi unhe hurt nai karenge. Or agar tumhe kbi b lage k hum apna waada tod rahe hain toh hums eek baar keh dena, hum khud unki zindagi se chale jaenge.

Sonam was listening to all this silently.

Sonam: Do u love him??

Anjali (with a faint smile): Pata nahi. But I want to give it a try. I want to see where it leads. We all see him as a very strong person. But deep down, there is pain, there r tears behind his smile. I just want to see him smiling whole heartedly. I want to take away his pain. I want to see happiness in his eyes. N if u can call it love, (looking Sonam in eyes) then I am in love with Arjun.

Sonam (after some time, smiling): Good Luck.

Anjali: Huh??

She had not expected this reaction. She was expecting accusations, threats to stay away from Arjun, anything but this.

Sonam: I said GOOD LUCK. Arjun Bhai is not so easy to deal with. U will need a lot of patience. N if he comes to know about it, he will start avoiding u. n I will b in a worse mess if he gets to know that I knew about this.

Anjali: U r actually giving me the permission to...

Sonam: I can't give u permission about something ur heart feels. I just want to see my brother happy.

Anjali (hugging Sonam): Thanks a lot.

Sonam: Okay fine. Now go n sleep. It's late. We have a lot of work tomorrow.

Anjali wished her good night and moved towards the door when Sonam called her.

Sonam: By the way, u wanted to know that mai aapko kuch kyu nai bulati?? That why I don't achnowledge any relation with u??

Anjali nodded.

Sonam : Well!! I can't keep on changing the relations. U r a nice person at heart. (smiling) N I wish I will b calling u Bhabi soon.

Anjali was on cloud nine when she heard this. She again came back & hugged her tightly.

Anjali (still hugging Sonam): I too wish the same Princess!! I too wish the same.

Precap:

What have u thought about divorce Khushi?? 😈
