Chapter 19
"chintu dheeraj se kaam le sab thik ho jayega.." ajji said from the other side of phone. "ajji ab is dheeraj bhai ko main kidhar se laoon? Who toh pune gaye huye hain na..." raghu answred sheepishly. "hee bappa... iss yere ka main kya karoon.." ajji stroke his head. "main apne basti wale dheeraj ka baat nahi kar raha hoon re... akal ghass khane gayi hain kya tera?!.. kya kya bake ja raha hain?" ajji finished with irritated voice. "ajji dekho yaar, aise hi dimag ka fuse ura huya hain... kuch samajh mein nahi aa raha aur upar se tu..." raghu stated in an irritated voice but then his voice became poor. "ajji pata hain, mereko bahut gussa aa raha hain!!" he finished. "phir gussa?! Chintu tu wahan gaya hain antara ko wapas lane ke liye aur fir se uske sath jhagar raha hain!!" ajji scolded him. "arey meri maa, mujhe gussa us miss kaul pe nahin apne aap pe a raha hain...!!" he ans in an irritated voice. "KYA?!!" ajji was a bit shocked. "haan ajji!" suddenly his voice got lowered. "ajji kuch sahi nahi ho raha hain! Apun aya to hain uss yeri ko sorry bolne par... phir se usey.." he sighed. "aur antara fir tujhse gussa ho gayi?! Aur phir usne tujhpe chilla diya!! Phir tune palatke jawab diya hoga aur phir suru ho gaye dono... mere ko pata tha yahin karega tu..." ajji said with another doze of irritation. "ajji baat utni sidhi nahin hain..." he said with that same sad tone. "chintu huya kya hain saaf saaf bata na..." ajji asked in an worried voice. "ajji who baat ye hain ki... Wo... Ajji wo jeena nahi chahti..." raghu felt a sharp pain in his chest as he said those words. "kya?!!" ajji was in utter shock, "chintu ye sab kya kahe raha hain tu? Wo jeena nahi chahti matlab? Usne aisa kyun kaha tujhse?" ajji's frustrated voice rose his worry. "ajji usne aisa kuch kaha toh nahi saaf saaf par tu agar usey dekhegi na... kya bataoon ajji... Usey koi farak hi nahi parta ki koi usey maar de... ajji usey apni koi parwa hi nahi..." Ajji sensed his voice was chocking. She sensed something wrong was happening out there. "chintu tu kya chupa raha hain tu?!! Kya ho raha hain wahan? Dekh mereko tension mat de..." she asked worriedly. "kuch nahi ajji..." raghu resisted himself as he couldn't reveal about the secret mission as it would make the situation worst. "galti apun ki thi ajji, mereko uskey papa ke bare mein aisa nahi bolneka tha...par mereko kya mallom tha ki wo baat ko dil pe le legi aur wo bhi aise..." he stopped for a while. He couldn't even express about the fear and insecurity he was feeling for antara. The way she had became desperate to catch those terrorists without even knowing that how dangerous they could be! How could he stop someone who herself want to die. A mild smile spread in ajji's face feeling the silence on the other side of phone. She somehow understand raghu's feelings. She knew him very well. He could never express his feelings properly. People thought him to be strong like a stone, emotionless! But she knew what was hidden inside that so called stone. She knew from very first day when she saw them together in hospital. "aee ajji tu silent mode mein kyun chali gayi..." Raghu's word broke his trance. "kab se main hi bake ja raha hoon... tu kya meri baat sunke so gayi..." he asked. "arey nahi main sun rahi hoon, tu bol na.." ajji assured. "arey kya kahoon ajji... mere ko to samajh mein nahi aa raha hain ki uss yeri ka dimag thikane pe kaise laoon... tujhe pata hain na kitni ziddi hain..." he said. "bas bas mere raghu nath naik ji... bahut dimag chala liya aap ne... aab mujhe hi sochna parega... gadha hain tu sachmein... itne bare bare gunde ko sidha kar diya aur ek larki se maafi nahi maang payi..." Ajji said in irritation. "areey ajji tu kya soch rahi hain ki apun try nahin kiya... maine toh ye bhi kaha ki geeta aunty ke operation ke sare paise main bhar doonga... Fir bhi wo bharak gayi..." he said in confusion. "CHINTUUU...!!" ajji stroke her head, "tere dimag mein to sach mein gobar ki factory hain. Gadha bhi tujhse jyada shana lagta hain mujhe... arey tu kyun nahi samajhta ki usey paise ki zaroorat nahi hain..." She said. "toh kis ki zarrorat hain ajji?.." he asked like a innocent child. "year... Usey sahare ki zaroorat hain, hamdardi ki zarorat hain... aise kisi ki zaroorat hain jo uske dil zakhm ko pyar ke marham se bhar sake..." ajji said in a single breath. "ajji?!.." raghu spoke in confused as well as amused voice. "bheje mein kuch batti jail kya?!..." ajji smirked. "chintu pata hain... kabho kabhi aisa hota hain ki insaan ka dukh itna gahera hota hain ki wo andar se ekdum khokhla (empty) ho jata hain. Tab usey apni hi zindagi se nafrat hone lagti hain... usey aisa lagta hain ki usey iss duniya mein koi bhi nahi chahta, kisi ko uski zarorat nahin... Antara ke sath bhi waisa hi huya hain..." Ajji stated slowly, taking a deep sigh she started again, "antara ka duniya tha uska papa... maine usey bahut kareeb se dekha hain chintu aur mujhe pata hain ki wo apne papa se kitna pyar karti thi. Ek taraf se samajhle uski jaan uske papa mein basta tha... Aur usi papa ko usne apne akhon ke saamne marte huye dekha aur wo bhi itna dardnaak maut!!!... sirf ye hi nahi, uski ma ko sadma lag gaya aur wo sab bhool gayi... aur sath mein uska chota bhai jiss sey thik se ye bhi nahi pata tha ki zindagi aur maut hoti kya hain... uski maa aur bhai dono ki zimidari uss bechari ke upar aa gayi... Papa ke maut keg ha mein thik se rob hi nahi payi... Kaise roti?! Usey toh yahin dar laga reheat tha uski maa usey rote huye dekh na le... zara soch chintu kis halat se guzar rahi thi larki?! Aur abh bhi samajh na aye to wo waqt yaad kar jab teri maa tujhe chor ke chali gayi thi hamesha ke liye... tab sayad uski halat kuch samajh ayegi tujhe.." ajji probed. Raghu felt numb all over ge couldn't even answer her back. "samajh aya kuch ya ab bhi dimag ka screw dhila hain..." she asked. "hmmm.." he just mumbled in chocked voice. "aur upar se tune ye sab kahe diya usey us din... uske zakhmo ko aur gehera kar diya hoga... kya soch rahi hogi wo... Usey laga hoga ki wo kuch nahi kar oayi uske maa aur bhai ke liye... wo tere se ya mere se gussa nahin hain ki ek sorry bol de aur wo maan jaye... usey apne aap pe gussa aa raha hain... Ghin aa rahi hain apne zibdagi se... issi liye wo ab jeena nahin chahti... aur sun gadhe, agar tu sach mein usey mafi mang na chahta hain na toh tujhe to... chor tujhse nahin hoga!!" she sighed. " kya nahin hoga... Arey tu bata to sahi..." raghu asked eagerly. "nahi re bahut kachra kar diya hain tune, ab main khud ja rahi hoon antara ko mana ne..." ajji said. "arey nahin ajji..." raghu almost jump from bed where he was seating. "nahin tu nahin aa sakti idhar..." he said quickly. "kyun re, main kyun nahin aa sakti?" she asked. "nahin nahin ajji... wo haan yahan pe bahut thand hain...aur iss umar mein tere se ye thand bardast nahin hogi... Tu mere ko bata na... apun samhal lega..." He said quickly. "haan haan, sab samajhti hoon..." ajji smilled, "sun abb!!..." ajji started to say, "tujhe antara ke andar phir se jine ki chah jagani paregi... usey ye samjhana parega ki kisi ke jane se duniya khatam nahi ho jati... Aur haan, tujhe antara ka wo sahara ban na parega jo usey uski papa se mila tha... Boll kar payega?!" ajji asked. A mild smile spread in raghu's face after a long time. "abhi ye purane hindi picture ki heroine ki tarah dialogue bazi bandh kar ajji, waisey bhi ye aaj kaal nahin chalta.." he said. "kya bola tu??!!!" ajji's voice boiled up. "arey ajji bharak mat, aoun samajh gaya ki yeri ko kaise handle karne ka... tu ab let ja aur chain ki nind so ja... haan bole toh good night!!" he said. "haan haan good night!!... tu bhi so ja..." ajji smiled cheerfully as she understood that some plan was being plotted in her chintu's mind. raghu also cut the phone and looked at the front with a smirk. It was so late at night. Ishan was all ready in his sweet dreams beside him. He didn't saw antara since he came down from the roof. He was so devastated and feeling gulty seeing her in that state but again he was getting back his confidence. "miss kaul!! Ab dekhta hoon ki tu kabtak apni zid pe ari reheeti hain! Wapas to main tere ko leke hi jaoonga... pakka promise..." he said boarding his smirk. Suddenly he remembered a thing. "abbey raghunath usko kaise bhool gaya... Iska hisab bara bar karna toh baki rahe gaya.." he said and dialed another no. "arey bhai tu itni raat ko?! MM answered in sleepy voice. "sun mach mach tere ko mere liye ek kaam karna parega..." ragh said. "haan bol..." he asked. Raghu told him something and MM burst into laughter. "arey kya solid idea nikala tune.." he said. "chal ab kaal subha hote hi kaam pe lag jana." Raghu said.
