my 2nd Fan Fiction---junoon(updated ch 28) - Page 8

it was nt a house wich cud be called magnificient....bt it ws nice and spacy..... They were in cape town...in Skaamrosie road.....where Krishna had a small bt nice flat.....which had remained unused for quite a time...

pratigya had asked him on the way bt had nt got a direct answer----tum south Africa mein kya karte the aur aab kya karoge? matlkab koi business wagera....?

it was natural for her to ask this ques..as because she was worried for her as well as krishna's uncertain future....bt Krishna had nt answered sincerely,as becoz he cudnt....

the truth is that Krishna had been in south Africa for 5 to 7 yrs,as mathur bhai had sent him there to study and also work for him(his own business in cape town)....bt Krishna had created some prblm there and it had become necessary for him to leave the country and return back..... Mathur bhai lovd him so much that he could go to any heights to save him..... as now for some days his life was in danger in India too,he had planned it all and had sent him to Cape town agen for his security as well as to make ranjit singh thnk had his daughter had been kidnapped so that he wud reveal his top secrets....the whereabts of shivkumar pandey,the person they are after....

after the matters cool down a little,Mathur Bhai planned to bring Krishna back.....

as for pratigya,it was totally upto Krishna wat he wud do with her,mathur bhai had nothng to do with it...and he did nt evn wish to interfere....

Krishna cud nt say these thngs to pratigya hence he had created a story as always that he had an incomplete business in cape town and he intended to start it again.... to lead a happy life with her... pratigya,whu loved him blindly did nt feel the need to ask more and believed him....

Krishna had bought this flat in his student life....wen he used to stay here.. it was designed for a single person bt for the time being they had no choice.....

it is to be said here that Krishna had married pratigya before leaving india.... they got married before the day of their departure and pratigya was krishna's legally married wife.....

she was extreamely worn out for the day and wen Krishna took her to their bedroom and made her lie down on the bed,it took her just a few secondas to fall into a deep slumber.....

wrapping her carefully with a sheet,Krishna went outside and closed the door behind so that she cud have an undisturbed sleep...

then he called up Mathur bhai.......

Krishna---hum dono thk thak pahuch gaye hain...aab kya karna hain?

mathur bhai,laughing----tumhari to nayi nayi shaadi huyi hain...to aur kya karna chahte ho? bas khush raho apni biwi ke saath....aur din gino ki kab bulawa aa jaye...uparwale ka nhi....is dilwale ka.... yaniki mera.....

Krishna smiled at his way of making jokes. he said---par udhar kya ho raha hain...matlab aapne ravi ko bheja tha shimla?...woh ranjit saxena wahapar pahucha kya?

mathur bhai---aabhi tak to nhi,dekhte hain...ha ravi hain waha.....gaya hain.....irshan ko bhi saath lekar gaya hain......

Krishna gritted his teeth at the name Irshan.. he hated him frm childhood.. he cud nt still forget the black memories of his childhood wen mathur bhai had rescued him frm jail and made him his son...

irshan was the only person whu hated him...and cud nt bear to see mathur bhai's love for him... he was mathur bhai's eldest son, a living terror frm childhood only .. once wen Krishna was 11, he had stabbed him on his back and Krishna wud hve died if he did nt have that strength to stuggle..

irshaan had been in china for quite a long time...krishna didn't know that he had returned. thank god that he was in south Africa himself becoz if he wud hve been in india,they wud hve already engaged themselves in yet another combat....

he kept his fon down. he felt terribly angry... with the memories of Irshan.some other blakest memories of his past came out of the mist and started to torture him. he closed his eyes........

......................................................................................

........smoke covered the whole place,Krishna choked in pain....there was no means to escape...he was afraid to run outside...the police had surrounded the whole place.. Krishna was nt afraid of the police...why wud he be? he had done nothng wrong... he was innocent....tears rolled down his terror stricken face....so was his father and his mother and his little sister.....bt no one believed them, noone.. he howled in pain as he recalled how his father was shot by the military people ryt before his own eyes..a few minutes before and his mother and sister were burned alive in their rooms.... unable to escape.... their cries wud keep on haunting him for the rest of his life....only if....only if....he survived.... he closed his eyes and shouted---mujhe yahan se nikalo....mujhe bachao....yahan se nikalo....mai sabko mar dunga.....SABKO......!!!!!! MA!!! ANNU.....BABA..........

Krishna,....KRISHNA!!!! KYA HUA?----pratigya's cries made him come around..... he opened his eyes and sat up,gasping and panting.....his face was sweating like hell. pratigya tried to console him,she thot had probably he was seeing a nitemare... bt she didn't have the faintest idea that this was no nitemare....it was krishna's terrible reality,his past..

pratigya cupped his face in her hands and tried to make him face her..... he was still trembling and sweating.. to her utmost surprise,he shoved away her hand....

Krishna---please.....mujhe kuch der ke liye akela chod do.....please pratigya....

pratigya---par....kya hua?

Krishna raised his hand,signalling her to stop. then said----please,baat ko samjho...tum so jao......

as pratigya showed no signs of moving.. he himself got down frm the bed,took his shirt frm the chair beside,opened the door, and went outside to the balcony........

pratigya did nt know whether or not to follow him... she was worried abt him, he was strange,no doubt bt he had nvr behaved so strangely before.... pratigya felt as if he did nt know the person at all whu was supposed to be her husband... she recalled the way Krishna was murmering something in his sleep..she cudnt get his wrds correct bt it was as if he was uttering some names....

kya baat ho sakti hain---pratigya thot---aisi kya baat hain jo wo mujhse nhi keh sakta? bure sapne to hume bhi aati hain lekin ye kaisa bura sapna hain jise bhulne ki wajah Krishna itna depressed ho raha hain?

o hw cud she know that it was such a nitemare wich Krishna had actually lived!!!!!!!!

....................................................................

pratigya was nt able to sleep properly the whole nyt.. hw cud she wen her husband was so troubled and depressed? she was afraid to go to him.....bt she cud nt stop worrying abt him....

as soon as the frst rays of the sun crept through the window curtains.... she got up immediately, arranging the tangles of her hair and went outside to the balcony to see whether Krishna was okay...

she cntolled herself wen she saw him....it ached her heart... Krishna sat on the cane chair,head hanging back,some ashes lying on the floor indicating that he had tried to keep himself awake by smoking bt at last his energy had given up and he had fallen asleep...

pratigya slowly walked upto him and put her hand on his forehead... the cold touch of her hand made him open his eyes... he stared at her for sometime....unable to react properly and then smiled....

good morning----said Krishna

pratigya replied---good morning...

Krishna'tum itni jaldi uth gayi?

pratigya smiled dryly---haan...jaldi uth gayi......yehi kuch 3,4 ghante pehle.....

krishna's face became gloomy once agen...he turned away frm her.... bt she placed her hand under his chin and forced him to look at her....

pratigya---krishna...kya humse koi Galati hui hain?

Krishna,surprised----nhi to? kyun?

pratigya sighed---to kya hum itni nasamajh hain ki hamara pati humse uski pareshani bhi share nhi kar sakta?

Krishna kept quiet for sometime,gazing at her face....then he took her hand in his and caressed each of her fingers,gently kissing them one by one....he wondered wat wud he do without her.... the vry sight of her washed away his depressions,his agony,his hatred...for the wrld.... he wud simply die without her....as after wat he had experienced in his whole life he had little strength in him to cope up with worse situations....

he realised that the way he had behaved with her the last night had hurt her and he had hated himself for that.... bt he seemed to get really terrified wenevr he had nitemares abt his past... bt he understood that he shudnt hve behaved with her in such a manner....

he got up frm his chair and stood in frnt of her,still holding her hand.. the he said---pratigya..am sry....aisi koi baat nhi hain...bas ek bura sapna dekha tha...

he put his hands on her shoulders and said to her in a convincing manner---aur tum ye kabhi mat sochna ki tumhari koi Galati hain.....kisi baat ko lekar agr tum pareshan ho to humse baat kar lena par apne aap koi natije par mat pahuchna.....thk hain? pratigya hum bht khushkiusmat hain jo hume tumhari jaisi patni mili hain.....

pratigya smiled,her fears washed away with his gentleness and his love...

he leaned his face closer to her and softly touched his lips on hers..... then he said----aab hua asli good morning....

pratigya blushed red on the face on his sudden,unexpected action.... she cudnt manage the ryt words and ran inside,smiling to herself.....
