Chapter 12A: jungili billi bani hiran…
A bond…a priceless…a nameless relation which was beyond all the walls and barriers set up between Aisha and Arjun took its form that day….in those brief moments…..
It was an unexplainable unique bond between a little child who yearned for her papa's love and an internally broken man who had lost all his interest for love in his life and had been living like a corpse devoid of all human emotions and feelings…..
This little girl had made the impossible happen in just a matter of minutes….she had made him long for love again…….
****************************
Arjun's POV:
Pari had brought him alive again….yes, he always had an affinity to kids…but with Pari, it seemed different….much more than a liking….he was feeling bonded to her….he felt he had some responsibility towards her…as if he owed her and he should fulfill that promise to her….
But he knew Aisha wouldn't want it any day…she would prefer Pari to get disappointed rather than having him at the party…….
He could understand Aisha's apprehensions to an extent…..it sounded strange but he felt that he could read Aisha's mind now….she was being torn between her own conflicting thoughts…… Behind her indifferent and rude attitude, lay hidden a mother's heart which didn't want Pari to get disappointed!
Aisha's POV:
As she pulled away Pari from him, her heart literally shattered….Pari's teary eyes weren't hidden from her…she knew that pari longed to be with him for some more time….may be get his warmth and love……but Aisha couldn't allow it…..Pari cant get attached to Arjun….and there was one more thing that worried her, he was her boss and she knew him a bit now….He wouldn't want to get involved into such emotions……She couldn't allow Pari to entangle him into such emotions unknowingly
"Paas aakhe dhoor hone ka dard Pari ko nahi deh sakthi main….sorry Sir, I know I am being insensitive but its for her own good…and of course for you too…" Ayesha thought to herself as she was showing the frocks that she had brought for Pari…!
Pari was excited seeing the new dresses and was immersed in them…..trying out and admiring it on her in front of the mirror…..
Aisha was smiling at it but internally, her mind was aimlessly wandering….it was lost in many thoughts…..She hated to admit it but somewhere deep down, for a moment atleast, she wished he cames back for the party…just for the sake of Pari's happiness……But she was almost sure that he wouldn't come…..why would he?? Who is he to Pari? Anybody would like a cute kid like Pari but that just doesn't mean anything further…..
Aisha hushed away her thoughts….why was she even thinking in those lines?? She just needed to make sure that Pari doesn't get attached to anyone as such…..because such a relationship, even if you could call it one, had no future….and nobody can attach a string to it…..
******************************
In all those warring contradicting thoughts, there was a similarity…..both loved Pari and they hated tears in her eyes….This one similarity was dragging them closer oblivious to both of them…..
******************************
Evening…….
Pari was all dressed up in her part frock and excited from head to toe…..She had her own reasons for the happiness…..She had her mamma by her side after a very long time….
From morning, she and Aisha had been sharing cute little happy moments that they had missed in the last few months….
The other thing which made Pari happy was her belief that Arjun would return….The little heart in her longed for his warming embrace and his company…..Unknowingly she was starting to search for her dad in him…..She had felt that liking, developed an affection to him the first time he smiled at her!
That smile, the love and warmth it gave her was unexplainable…..And afterall she was a small kid, she knew nothing about the equations between her elders..….All that the small heart could read and understand was the smiles and sweet talks that seemed to attract her to him…
She was sure that her Arjun uncle would come back while Aisha was trying her best to switch topics and distract her to something else…..but every 10 minutes, she returned back to the same question "mamma, uncle abhi tak nahi aaye? aap call karke poocho na??"
Aisha was fed up replying "Pari, uncle ko kuch kaam hoga…..aa jaayenge…tum party enjoy karo na?"
********************************
It was time for the cake to be cut and Pari was insisting on waiting for Arjun….
Aisha: Pari, aise ziddh nahi karthe….dekho sab wait kar rahe hai…..cake cut karo….agar tum aisa karogi toh mamma aapko ek aur special gift denge…
Pari: nahi mamma….uncle ko aane dho…phir cake cut karungi…unnone promise kiya tha…..zaroor aayenge..
Aisha:[angrily] Pari….bas karo yeh ziddh aur nakhre….uncle nahi aayenge….tum cake khaato
Pari was adamant like her mamma "Nahi…agar abhi khaatna hai toh aap khud khaaatlo…..main toh uncle ka wait karungi…."
Aisha mellowed down..she knew she couldn't afford to anger Pari today……"dekho beta….uncle kahi phas gaye honge….shaayad aa nahi sakthe….unn keliye inn sab ko pareshan karna acchi baat nahi hai na?"
Pari looks around and then speaks up "ek kaam karthe hai, aap uncle ko phone karo…aur mujhse baat karwaavo……agar woh nahi aa rahe toh phir…" Her words trail off in a sad disappointed note……
Aisha: [thinks and then decides that it's the best option now] phir aap ziddh chodhke cake khaatoge, right??? [Pari unwillingly nods when Aisha adds holding out her hand] promise na?[Pari promises]
Aisha dials Arjun's number thinking that she would make him tell Pari that he isnt coming….and that would solve the problem..….She eagerly hold the phone close to Pari with the loud speaker on……
A ring tone is heard from behind them and with it comes his voice calling out "Pari..."…..
Aisha and Pari turn around…..There he stood dressed in a casual black shirt and jeans….
He cancels the call on his mobile and smiles at Pari….He held a big gift box in his hand………..
Aisha looks at him a bit shocked and with a lot of questions pondering in her eyes...she had expected him to be in Mumbai…while Pari is more than excited seeing him there and runs into his arms….He picks her up "happy b'day Pari…"
He walks towards Aisha and places Pari down…..He bends down and "yeh lo aapki b'day gift…."
She nearly snatches it from him while Aisha rolls her eyes and asks her to take it gently and then say thanks….Pari spells out a quick thanks and opens the gift quickly…..
It has a big Barbie doll and Pari's eyes sparkle in joy seeing it….
Meanwhile Arjun takes a moment to have a glance at Aisha….She looked quite different today in a cream peach saree…….Having seen her in her usual work clothes always as a tough cop, Arjun had to take a long moment before registering that it was indeed the same Aisha…..
She looked every bit feminine in the saree….gentle and calm in her mannerisms…..but none of that feminine traits changed the stern attitude on her face….He could hear her mind voice….She was staring at him and her question was evident "Why the hell are you here?"
But he chose to ignore her for the moment and looked at Pari who was continuously chirping away praises about the doll in her hand…
By then, she had also named it as "Chutki"…..
She looked up and spoke "main abhi Chutki ko apne doston se milaake laathi hoom…"
Arjun nods with a smile…Pari leaves them behind and hops away to her friends…
Aisha starts with her questioning but the teacher calls her for cutting the cake……and she is forced to go there without a word…….Arjun walks towards the table rather slowly…
He knew what Aisha was thinking or rather wanted to ask him…..He, himself wasn't aware of the answers…he had started off to Mumbai that morning….But he didn't know what made him stay….Instead of going to Mumbai, he had gone to the police guest house in Pune….Freshened up and returned here with a gift for Pari……
The fact was that he didn't have the heart to hurt Pari….even if it was an unvoiced promise, it was a promise made to her….and he couldn't break it….
Pari's voice brought him back to the present…."uncle, aap bhi aayiye…..saat cake khaatenge…"
Pari forced him to stay next to her while she cut the cake…..On one side was Aisha and the other side Arjun….Pari was happy and she merrily cut the cake with both of them lightly touching her little hands…..It looked picture perfect….
A sudden realization that he was involuntarily getting entwined in some unnecessary bonding made him back away leaving the family incomplete…
He backed away by a few steps after Pari cut the cake and stood there watching Aisha feeding Pari the cake and vice versa……Aisha had noticed him stepping back…
For a few brief moments, their eyes meet…..then she looked away trying to focus on Pari….
Pari was looking for him to feed the cake too…but he stood hidden from her for those moments….He didn't want to disrupt the bonding time between Aisha and her daughter, no matter what…..
He was nobody to them….and it would be better if it remained like that….or he felt so……
From in between the crowds, he saw Aisha also scanning the crowd, perhaps she was also looking for him…..She stepped back from there trying to find him widening her search area…..
She had a plate with the cake in her hands…..
As she backed away and try to scan wider, she heard him speak up from behind her
"Mujhe dhoond rahi ho?"
[To be continued]
