chapter-----3
to tum estate ka kaam samhal sakte ho...kyun?----asked thakur shakti singh to krishna...
he nodded----ji.....
shakti singh-----thk hain fir...hum apne manager se baat karwa dete hain tumri....uu tumko kaam samjha dega.....
he got up,wich indicated that krishna shud take his leave now...bt krishna looked a bit cnfused... he had been there for almost an hour....conversing with shakti singh bt he didnt evn get a single glimpse of kanya...his actual reason to be there.....
"ahem"----krishna turned at shakti singh whu said-----aab...chale?
he lowered his head and sighed----hmm.....
shakti singh took him to the office...where he met the manager and converesed with him..the manager was equally shrewd and sarcastic like shakti... he was nt at all happy at the fact that shakti singh was bringing him a helping hand.....he thot that now krishna wud nt let him steal frm the estate like he had been doing for all these years......and he did nt evn try to hide his disappointment.. well,his wishes did nt stand as the thakur himself had chosen krishna to assist him and he didnt have a voice over him.....and his decisions... thus krishna was appointed....and the assistant manager of the estate.....
shakti singh shook hands with him and handed him the keys of the guest room-----to...kisanwa...tumhri naukri pakki...tum guest room mein raho....kaam karo mann lagakar,khane pike ki koi dikkat nhi hogi....chinta mat karna....humko bas accha kam chahiye....aur tumko uske liye pagar milega.......tum bas sari chinta chod do aur dhyan se humra estate samhalo.......
krishna-----ji......
his mind was still occupied with kanya's thots....he wondered why cudnt he get evn a glimpse of her....was she okay? has she been kept somewhere else? his thots bugged him and tortured him cntinuously.... he was abt to return to the mansion wen suddenly shakti singh called him frm behind------ee kisna....ek min.....
he turned-----huh?
shakti walked over to him and said in a low whisper------tumre liye ek badiya khabar hain...aaj raat ko humne ek jalsa rakha hain ee haveli mein...aa jana...ek saath baithkar maza karenge......
he winked......
krishna's whole body shook in disgust-----oh my god!! he was inviting me to share a drink with him? no way.....
he tried to smile-----thakursaab hum pite nhi hain......
shakti tried to persuade him-----are peete nhi ho to ka hua? ek gilas peene se tumri halat nhi bigdegi...aur waise bhi...humne ek mast item ko bulaya hain.....ekbart usko dekhoge na...to saala dekhte hi reh jawoge.....daawa hain humra....aaj raat hum to uske saath khub aish karenge.......
krishna felt like crushing his head on the wall.......bt he cntrolled himself...his heart cried for kanya.....-------ye kiske saath reh rahi hain humri kanya..? ee to insaan kehlane ka bhi layak nhi hain.....!!!!!
he smiled agen-----nhi thakursaab hum....
shakti's smile disappeared and his face became evil...he raised his finger and him and said in a hissing voice------thakur shakti singh ne kaha hain to iska matlab tumko uski baat manni padegi tumhe accha lage ya na lage.......samjhe?
krishna realised that there was no point in arguing....and he had to obey him in either ways..... he agreed-----thk hain thakursaab jaisi aapki marzi...hum....hum aa jayenge.......
shakti slapped on his shoulder and said cheerily------ee hui na baat........shyam ko jaldi niche aa jana...hum toko ee waava kar sakte hain ki tum ee shyam zindagi bhar nhi bhuloge.....
............................................................................
he walked along the corridor....to find the guest room...wen suddenly an idea hit his head.. he thot-----woh shakti singh abhi officeroom mein hain...to hume koi nhi dekhega...yehi sahi mauka hain kanya ko dhundne ka......
he looked around him to be sure that noone was watching...then he started searching all the rooms...... most of them were empty,indicating that not much people lived in the mansion... he kept on searching until he noticed another corridor obliquely linked to the frst one...leading to a series of more rooms.. he took this way and started searching once more... these rooms were big,and lavishly decorated.....he pushed open the doors of the frst and the second rooms,they were empty...his heartbeat started to race as he came to the third room.. he pushed it..it didnt bulge....he started sweating out of excitement...he slowly knocked on the door.......
a voice came frm inside------kaun?
krishna's heart leaped in joy....he remembered this voice....how cud he forget? it was KANYA.......
he knocked harder,his heartbeat almost racing to infinity.....
he heard someone walk towards the door...and after some moments,the door creaked open.......
krishna lost his power of speech......in frnt of him stood that grl,whose thots once used to refrain his eyes frm resting......whuse voice once used to ring in his ears for hours........whuse love and whuse innocence had filled his life with glee...and whuse absense had made him soo grief-stricken......
KANYA?-------he exclaimed........
kanya's eyes were wide too...as if she thot that she was dreaming------tu....tum.....? krishna?
a cheerful smile spread across his face as she took his name...
within a second..she grabbed his hand and pulled him inside..then she closed the door immediately......
she turned at him------krishna,tum yahaan kya kar rahe ho?
he was a little surprised at her behavior.. he had expected that she wud run into his arms and shed her long drawn tears.....
krishna-----kanya hum yahan tumhare liye aye hain.....
she lowered down her eyes and said-----krishna.....accha hoga ki tum abhi yahanse chale jao......agr unhe pata chal gaya to bht bakhera khada ho jayega.....
krishna was stunned...he forgot to reply..he wondered----wat this MY kanya? she has changed so much...she didnt evn smile at me...!!!!!!! doesnt she love me anymore? did she marry him for his money? oh no...this cnt be happening with me......!!!
he held his head....kanya came towards him and touched his hand------krishna? tum thk ho?
krishna-----kanya tum....kya tum hume dekhkar bilkul bhi khush nhi ho?
she looked away frm him....
krishna-----kanya hum yahaan sirf tumhari wajase aye hain.....warna hume kya zaroorat thi acche acche naukri chodkar yahaan is haveli mein ek assistant manager ki naukri karne ki?
kanya----tum...tum yahaan naukri kar rahe ho? krishna tum pagal ho gaye ho? kyun istarah apni zindagi barbad kar rahe ho?
he smiled sarcastically....-----ye tum puch rahi ho kanya? hum apni zindagi ko yahaanse le jane ke liye aaye hain.....
her eyes became wide in fear and her face looked pale------krishna.....!!!! ye kabhi nhi ho sakta....hamari shaadi ho chuki hain...aur hum....hum....khush hain...
krishna dint evn let her complete----jhut bol rahi ho tum...ekdum jhut.....tum humre sive kono aur ke saath kabhi khush nhi reh sakti....hum jante hain......
kanya dropped down on the bed.....her eyes became moistened....krishna knelt down in frnt of her and put his hands on her knees-----hum sach keh rahe hain na? batao na kanya....tum khush nhi ho...hum jante hain.......
kanya-----nhi....hum khush nhi hain....par krishna jo tum soch rahe ho wo bhi sach nhi hain...
krishna-----matlab?
kanya------krishna.....jab bauji ne ye faisla liya humara dil tut gaya tha.....hume ye shaadi karni padi....lekin krishna....humne apne aapse waada kiya tha ki is shaadi ke saath saath hum woh sari yaadein..un sare palon ko bhula denge jo humne tumhare saath bitaye the...kyunki hum ek aurat hokar apni shaadi ke saath bewafayi nhi kar payenge...hum unko apne dil se apna pati man chuke hain krishna...ye alag bat hain ki hume is rishte se koi khushi nhi mili hain aabtak...lekin hum akhri saans is rishte ko puri imaandari se nibhayenge.........
she looked up at his shocked face and said slowly------krishna...chahe hume koi khushi mile ya na mile.......HUM AAB PICHE MUDKE NHI DEKHENGE.......
......................................................
chandni was getting ready for the jalsa...wen aarushi burst into her room... she was fuming in anger.. she stood in frnt of her di and started shouting-----jiji.....aap...aap aisa kaise kar sakti hain?
chandni-----kyun? aab humne kya kiya?
aarushi-----jiji aap wahaan kaise ja sakti hain...woh bhi akele? kya aap nhi janti usdin aapke saath kya honewala tha agr hum nhi aa jate? jiji hum aapko jane nhi denge....aap wahaan mat jaiye..plzzzzzzzzz...
chandni smiled at her angry sister-----tujhe ye kisne keh diya ki agr usdin tu wahan nhi aati to hum apnbe aap ko bacha nhi pate? aarushi tu mujhe janti hain...hum kabhi aisa kuch hone hi nhi denge apne saath.....tu bilkul chinta mat kar aur apne padai par dhyan de...samjhi...?
she pressed her cheeks.....
aarushi was far frm being assured-----par jiji...woh uska apna ghar hain...aap apne aapko kaise bacha sakti hain...? aapko....
chandni------wo hume pata nhi ki hum apne aapko kaise bachayenge...par hamara Krishna hamare saath hain....agr ajtak usne humri rakshya ki hain.....to age bhi karega......
she took out a small idol of Krishna frm behind her dupatta and showed it to aarushi......
her eyes became moist-----jiji ye to........
chandni nodded-----haan...ye ma ne hume diya tha.....jab wo apni aakhri saasein le rahi thi........aajtak hamare krishna ne hamare saath kuch bura nhi hone diya hain....aur hume unpar pura bharosa hain........
aarushi hugged her sister and cried....she was nt at all willing to her go in that hell...bt she knew this that if she didn't go there...then rohini mausi wud nvr forgive her.......
........................................................................
krishna wiped his tears and said-------thk hain...agr tumne ye sab apni marzi se ki hain....to aab hum kya kar sakte hain....... kanya replied straight-----tum yahan se chale jao krishna.....hum nhi chahte ki unko is bare mein kuch bhi pata chale.......
krishna turned at her-------nhi.....HUM YAHAAN SE NHI JAYENGE.....
kanya stood up------krishna tum kyun nhi samajh rahe ho....aab hum...aab hum...... she turned away frm him and completed the sentence-----aab hume tumhari koi zaroorat nhi hain.....
her wrds hit him like arrows..he sighed------zaaroorat? oo...to hamara rishta ek zaroorat ka rishta tha? kyun? tumne hamari puri baat nhi suni kanya......
kanya------kaisi baat?
krishna------hum yahaanse tabtak nhi jayenge jabtak hume hamari hasti muskurati kanya na mil jaye......
kanya-----ye mumkin nhi hain......
krishna------kyun? tum to apne pati se bht pyaar karti ho na? to wo kyun tumse pyaar nhi karta?
kanya--------kyun woh kisi aur se pyaar karte hain......
krishna-----kya? kisi aur se? apne patni ke rehte hue....woh....kisi aur se pyaar kyun karta hain? aur agr karta bhi hain to usise kyun nhi shaadi kar liya? tumhari aur hamari zindagi barbad kyun kiya usne?bada mahan hain tumra pati,manna hi padega.....
kanya cudnt tolerate his sarcasm....her eyes welled up in tears...and she sat down on the bed...
krishna cudnt bear to see her cry...bt he controlled himself and said gently-----kanya ....ro mat...tum janti ho humse tumhari aansu bardasht nhi hoti......kanya tum hume sabkuch khulkar batao...hum tumse waada karte hain.....jo tumhara haq hain....woh hum tumhe dilakar hi rahenge.....patni ka haq hota hain pati ke pyaar mein...hum tumhe woh pyaar dilayenge.....chahe uske liye hume kuch bhi karna pade......
kanya,struggling with her emotions,started relating him the truth------humari pehli raat ko hi unhone hume sabkuch sach sach bata di thi....aur hume is baat ki khushi hain ki hamare pati ne hume koi dhokha nhi diya....unhone hume bataya ki woh kisi aur se pyaar karte hain...lekin usse shaadi nhi kar sakte.....KYUNKI WOH EK TABAYEF HAIN.......KOTHE PAR NACHNE WALI.....
krishna cudnt help shouting------KYA? kanya tum pagal ho? woh tumhe bewaquf bana raha hain...are...are koi ek kothe par nachewali ladki se pyaar kaise kar sakta hain aur wo bhi thakur shakti singh jaisa insaan?kanya woh ek bht bara dhokebaaz insaan hain........aur.......
kanya-----kyun? woh kaise kharab ho gaye? unhone to hume sabkuch sach sach bata diya hain...humse kuch nhi chipaya hain......unhone humse ye bhi kaha hain ki agr woh us ladki ko bhul pate hain...to woh hume hamare haq ka pyaar zaroor denge.....
krishna shook his head-----kanya,kanya.....kanya...tum pagal ho gayi ho....tum andhi ho gayi ho....woh tumse kabhi pyaar nhi karega...haan par tumhara istamal zaroor karega........
he came over to her and shook her hard by her shoulders-------kanya...abhi bhi kuch nhi bigda hain.....wapas chalo hamare saath.........iss dhokebaaz admi se dur......
she shoved away his hands and said-------tum itne swarthy nikloge humne kabhi socha bhi nhi tha..... tum abhi bhi apne bare mein soch rahe ho? agr tum sachmein kuch karna chahte ho hamare liye to unhe us churayel ki jaal se nikalo......woh nachnewali ladki...usine usko pyaar ke jaal mein fasa rakhi hain......unhe usse churwayo....tumhari bht bht meherbani hogi humpar......
she was abt to fold her hands to him wen he caught him....the corner of his eyes glistening with tears... he said------kanya.....is duniya mein aisa kuch nhi hain jo hum tumhare liye nhi kar sakte......... hum ye bhi karenge.....apne aapko sabid karne ke liye nhi......balki tumhe khush dekhne ke liye......
he left her hands and went out of the room.......
