chapter---23
pratigya ye kya keh rahi ho tum?-----pari was shocked..
they had met in a restaurant and pratigya told her abt evrythng....and she also told him that her husband was no karan....he was THE krishna thakur.....
pari cudnt believe her own ears-----pratigya tum pagal ho gayi ho? dimag kharab ho gaya hain tumhara....uncle ka aisa reaction to bilkul jayas hain,tumne kam hi aisa kiya hain aur pratigvya aab sacchayi janne ke baad main bhi isme tumhara saath nhi de sakti.....i mean...krishna thakur? tumhe aur koi nhi mila? isse accha to ye hota ki tum suicide kar leti......
pratigya sighed,she was terribly calm-----janti hun.....isse accha yehi hota ki hum suicide kar lete...thk hain.....par pari hume ek bat batao.....kya abhi iswaqt hum zinda hain? hamari aatma mar chuki hain pari......hamare pati ne hume dhokha diya hain....hamare gharwalo ne...jinhe hum is duniya mein sabse zyaada pyaar karte hain...unhone hume nhi samjha...hamari dost jisne kabhi hamara saath nhi choda woh hamara saath na dene ki baat kar rahi hain....tumhe kya lagta hain ki ye sab sunkar aur sehkar hum bht khush hain....???????
pari realised that she shud nt hve behaved like that,pratigya was soo upset....
she touched her hand wich was kept on the table and said---pratigya am sry par kya kare yar...mujhe tumhari bht fikar ho rahi hain...ye tumne kiske saath apna rishta jod liya hain? dekho pratigya dusron ke ghar ko ujadnewala kabhi apna khud ka ghar nhi basa sakta.......
pratigya----par pari krishna itna bhi bura nhi hain jaisa tum samajh rahi ho.....wo jo kam karta hain woh...........woh.....
pari-----woh kya pratigya? tum kehna kya chahti ho ki woh jo kam karta hain bht accha kam karta hain? huh? bewakuf tum ho sakti ho kyunki tum uske pyaar mein aandhi ho chuki ho..
.
pratigya closed her eyes to check her tears..she didnt want to show her weakness...she thot---aab hum pari ko kaise samjhaye? kaise samjhaye use ki krishna ye sab kyun karta hain....janti hun ki hume koi haq nhi hain kisiki jaan lene ka....par jo log galat hain...jinlogo ko is desh ke kanoon mein koi saza nhi dilwa sakta krishna sirf unlogo ko saza deta hain.........papa kabhi nhi samjhenge...woh unke duty ke aage majboor hain........
pari---pratigya kya soch rahi ho tum?krishna ke bare mein? waise...woh hain kahan iswaqt? usne to koi fon bhi nhi ki............use tumhari fikar hain bhi ya.......
pratigya----pata nhi woh kahan hain......bas humse ye keh rahe the ki koi kam hain.....kam khatam hone ke baad hume khud cntact kar lenge......
she lied..she knew vry well that he was after arjun srivastava in bangladesh bt she kept mum.... she shudnt say this to pari otherwise she wud inform to the police......
arjun srivastava was a politician outside bt in reality(as krishna told her) he was a woman smuggler just like his brother.....he had a huge gang under him whu export small grls to dubai and neighbouring places.... mathur bhai had tried to threaten him more than once bt he had always paid a deaf ear.....so krishna had decided to teach him a lesson... pratigya had pleaded him nt to commit another murder and he had promised her that he wud try to settle the matter in other ways.....now its worthy to watch whether he keeps his promise or nt....
pari----partigya to aab tum kya karogi?
pratigya--pata nhi...............
pari was disgusted and terribly angry----ye krishna samajhta kya hain apne aap ko? aise kaise tumhe chod sakta hain woh...tum uski zimedari ho..use uski zimedari nibhani chahiye naki dusron ka khun bahana chahiye....... bloody murderer!!!!
pratigya---pari plz...........
pari----tum chup raho...main tumhe kuch nhi keh rahi hun...aur ye mat kehna ki main tumhare pati ko gali de rahi hun kyunki aisa insaan kisike pati kehlane ka layak nhi hota.....aur sacchayi ko tum jitni jaldi samajh jao tumhare liye utna hi accha hain.......khair chodo.....abhi ke liye tum mere saath hostel chalo....hum ek saath rahenge kuch din fir main khud tumhare rehne ka intazam kar dungi.....
pratigya agreed,she had no other way.....she went to pari's hostel with her......
.............................................................................................
pratigya was standing in the balcony....it was almost 2 at night bt sleep was miles away frm her eyes......she was thnking abt krishna..she had tried to call him after coming to the hostel to make him know that she was all ryt.. she knew that he was angry with her for her behavior the last day he called bt she didnt expect that he wud nt pich up her call...she called him repeatedly bt the fon kept on ringing without a response..... at last she became frustrated and stopped trying....
pratigya looked up at the sky....it was clear and dark and beautifully enlightened with twinkling stars....there was no moon as it was a new moon night...
the sky seemed less bright than the other days,becoz of the absense of the moon......just like pratigya's life....happiness was there all ryt,evrythng was clear just like the night sky....bt the most prominent person in her life...whu mattered to her the most was missing......
pratigya thot-----kya baat ho sakti hain...kahin pari ki baat sach to nhi hain? kahin krishna ne hume chod to nhi diya...??? aur agr usne aisa kiya bhi to hum kya kar sakte hain...hum nahin use kahin dhund sakte hain aur nahin kisi aur se use dhundne ke liye keh sakte hain.......kuch nhi kar sakte hum.........sivaye intezaar karne ki....ki kab woh hamare paas lautkar ayega......
as she thot abt him,a single tear flowed down her cheek......she felt like clutching someone tightly and letting out all her sorrows wich were torturing her inside.....she hated it.....she hated herself........neither she cud be a good daughter nor a good wife.......she hated herself.....
pratigya wiped out her tears and said to herself---agr krishna bhi hume chod denge to hum is zindagi ka kya karenge...khatam kar denge ise.......
............................................................................................
pratigya tum thk to ho na?--said pari....
she got up in the morning to see pratigya resting on the arm chair,eyes closed....
she touched her gently to wake her up.....
pratigya got up immidiately as she called her name.....
pratigya---pari....hum thk hain.....
pari---lag to nhi rahi ho.....tumhara chehra aine mein dekho....kaise sukh gaya hain.......bimar lag rahi ho tum? aur tum yahan kya kar rahi ho? mera bed itna bhi chota nhi tha ki hum dono uspar ek saath so nhi sakte the.......
pratigya---nhi....aisi baat nhi hain...hume neend nhi aa rahi thi.......isiliye.......
pari understood her situation..she felt extreamely bad for her..... she smiled at her-----chodo in sab baaton ko....niche chalo brekfast lag chuka hain...ya fir tumhara khana yahin par le aayu?
pratigya---nhi iski zaroorat nhi hain hum niche chalte hain......
she followed pari downstairs after washing her face properly...pari was ryt,she looked terribly ill..with dark circles around her eyes......she didnt care.....wat wud she do with her face? her husband had left her,her parents had shove her out of the house....she was a rejected...undesired.....
the brekfast was simple...it consisted of some rotis and fried potatoes....pratigya didnt know wat was happening to her bt she did nt at all feel like eating anythng.....rather she felt like throwing up last night's dinner.....
pratigya thot----pari thk keh rahi thi....hume kuch to zaroor hua hain...lekin agr hum use ye bata de to wo khamkha pareshan ho jayegi......
she tried to take in some of the food bt cudnt......she put her plate down and almost ran towards the bathroom..
pari called out to her---pratigya kya hua tumhe?
without getting a reply she followed her to the bathroom...
pratigya stood in frnt of the basin,with water all over her face.....
despite her wet face pari cud easily make out her intense panic mixed with somethng wich seemed like a strange kind of happiness....
she had nvr seen such an expression on pratigya's face.....
she put her hand on her shoulder,she turned and hugged her instantly....
pari cud feel her deep sobs....
pari----kya hua pratigya? baat kya hain? tum kuch kehti kyun nhi?
pratigya-----pari...am going to be a MOTHER..........
