Hi Friends.....
My hands were scratching to write...so here i am with my new piece. Hope u enjoy it as much as i loved writing it.
Part 1 - Jab rhistey toot teh hai toh bohouth dard hotah hai...woh bhi kismat ke haath
Acha beta chalte hai…apna kheyal rhakna….."jee" was all she could utter…her whole world had turned upside down…..looking at the pictures in the middle of the hallway…garlands around them and a small diya lit infront…..….a sob caught in her throat…hey bhagwan meh aab kya karu??? .she couldn't believe her whole family had gone in a second just like that…closing her eyes she still couldn't get rid or the tremor …..the feeling….the feeling of being lost in this big world all alone…..how could that be…she was what a mere 17 and now she didn't have nobody…..
Seated on the edge of the window…with only Ramsey, their butler busy in tidying up everything……she just didn't have the energy to do anything…..13 days had past all the rituals done and gone with but the feeling still remained…sabh kuch kitna acha tha…..normal tha…and now…what was she going to do in this big house….this big estate and the factories…….her father was a successful industrialist….specialising in the tea leaves industry..the multi billion earner for Ceylon….
It was as if yesterday….
Rano and her were really excited to be coming home for Diwali….London meh parahi karne ke bawajud they loved to get together with mum and dad to celebrate this joyous occasion…Rano was three years her senior and a great sister in every respect…she was in her final year at the Oxford University and Bani her final year in high school. Because their father travelled a lot and mum followed ….. after high school Rano took Bani with her.
She had some last minute things to do at school so she was going to fly out the day before diwali and Rano a week early…it had been all arranged…..she had packed everything …gift for mum, gift for dad and for Rano ….all ready to go when the dreadful call had come…….without knowing what to do she had called Wakil uncle with whom BAni had come to India – Ceylon …only to find 3 most precious people she loved dead. It was a nightmare…
Nahiiiiiiii she had screamed…dropping everything she had run to their bodies laying in the room….so white so dead….the room of the hospital…we tired said the doctor but his voice was faint…….im so sorry Miss Dixit…she had heard someone say……followed by a "poor child all alone"..it had tored her very soul…
Bani couldn't stop screaming: papaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa mamamaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Ranoooooooooooooo ………..nahi…………… papa utho dheko naa meh diwali par hi ai hu…papa utho nah…running like crazy from one to the other….she was shaking them vigorously…
Didi Didi utho nah….wiping her tears….…main main sare homework karugi…I promise…tears were flowing and she couldn't see…utho na didi…meh badmasi nahi karugi…..touching her middle of her neck taking an oath…I promise did meh sari kaam sikhugi….shaking Rano's dead frame…utho na didi please……please didi….
Wakil uncle was trying to hold her but she was out of control…hysterical……papa …papa dheko main aapke liye latest laptop li hu…dheko nah…woh naya system ap chate the main saag li hu…papa papa
She had fallen on the chest of her father and cried and cried for what seemed like hours when she had collapsed……
A chill ran thru her as the cold air passed…..the only remains she had was their memories….bringing her legs close to her she bent her head on them and cried…..tears pained her eyes….red and swollen but nothing could compensate for the loss she had incurred
Ramsey: madam aapse wakil ….Mr Shom Sir milne aye hai….
Bani: hmmmm meh ati hu
Walking like a zombie she entered the family room where wakil uncle seemed to sorting some papers out……: kaise ho beta …getting up he hugged her……knowing very well what she was going thru…Nishikant had been a loyal friend and client for such a long time that she was like a daughter to him now….
Bani: jee rahi hu uncle…aur kya karsakti hu…kuch acha hi nahi lagta….
Uncle: beta kiu nahi tum kuch din kahi bahar chaldo…
Bani: kaha jau uncle maa ki toh family ki kuch khabar nahi…aur papa choking on a sob toh anath the….jaise aab meh hu
Uncle: nahi beta aise nahi kehte…..hugging her
Bani: kya baath hai uncle aap itna worried kiu hai
Uncle: beta…hesitating ..not knowing how to say it to this innocent child….
Bani: its okay uncle…aur kya bura hosakta hai
Uncle: ….nishikant ……….had got a lot of loan on his company some 2 years ago to expand the industry in Mumbai and Dehi some …the business was doing really good but now that he is not in the pic anymore and the party that lent him the money don't have faith in the hands of a mere 17 year old to run the empire so they are demanding their money back
Bani: mujhe kuch samaj nahi araha uncle
Uncle: beta agar unko paisa nahi mila toh they can capture everything u have left…
Bani: toh pay kardete hai
Uncle: yes beta but all finances are tied up in asses and stock…aur financial returns ke liye 6 months intezar karna padega which they don't want to do
Bani just stared at him…..she had lost everything and now this too….she started laughing…slowly and than loudly…..and than collapsing on her knee she started to cry out…: kuch bhi nahi bajta hai uncle
Uncle: im afraid not….sirf is ghar ke saman…….looking sadly at her
Bani looked around...taking in everything....remembering all those moments...those precious little things ...those memories....….meh kya karugi in saab ka……sobbing her heart out….mujhe bhi kiu nahi mummy papa legaye…..kiu nahi
😳😳😳hope u like it
