PART - 10SANAM and Lateef went to store room in search of Saany's ball. Room is very messy and full of dust and webs. Both coughed due to dust inhaled by both.
'Lateef yaha ki safai kyu nai karwate?' she asked while clearing the air before her eyes.
'kya kare baby ye kamra begam sahiba ne band jo karwa rakha tha.' Lateef too coughing badly.
'you mean Aahil's mom?' she asked and he nodded yes. 'but why?' She asked casually.
'taki Aahil baba ki sari purani yaado ko kaid kar sake.' She said gritting her teeth.
'kya mtlb?' Sanam get curious. Same time she saw many trophies there in a room. 'ye kiski hai?' she asked more curiously.
'Aahil baba ki or kiski?'
'are you joking? Use logo ko ruin karne k alwa kuchh karte maine to nahi dekha.' Again bitterness of past bounds her.
'nai baby ye sach hai. Aahil baba bachpan me har cheez me avaal aate the. Sports me,padai me,carricular activities me,sabme. Firr ek dinn nawab sahab begam sahiba ko is ghar me le aaye. Uske baad sab badal gaya.' She start revealing the hidden truth of his life.
'kya matlb?' she frowned.
'aahil baba aise nai the jaisa aap unko janti hai. Nwab sahab ne dusra nikah kiya or begam sahiba ko le aaye. Nikah k kuchh smaye bad hi nwab sahab guzar gaye. Or unke guzarte hi aahil baba tut gaye. Firr pata nahi kaise unhe nashe ki latt lag gai. Dheere wo padai se or dosto se durr hone lage. Unki sangat bigadti chali gai. Begam sahiba b unhe daanti nahi thi kyu wo chahti hi nahi thi ki Aahil baba hosh me rae. Aahil baba ki life spoil hoti chali gai jab tak aap nahi aai. Apke sath jo hua wo unhi drugs ki wajhse hua. Aahil baba ko to pure ek dinn k baad hosh aaya. Unhe to ye b yaad nahi tha ki unke sath kon thi. Wo bechain the or usi halat me ghar jaldi wapis aa gaye. Tab begam sahiba apne plans k bare me baat kar rai thi doc se. Unhone hi doc ki help se bachpan se hi Aahil baba ko drugs ki aadat dali thi. Unki bate us dinn Aahil baba ne sunn li or baba bilkul tut gaye. Unki poll khul chuki thi. Aahil baba ne ghar chhod diya or rehab center me admit ho gaye bina kisi ko bataye. begam sahiba ko b unke kiye ki sza mill gai. Unhone Aahil baba ko marne ka plan banaya jab unhe ye pata chala ki Aahil baba ab theek ho chuke hai. par khud hi fas gai. Unhone jise Aahil baba ki car k breaks fail karne bheja tha usne galti se begam sahiba ki car k breaks kaat diye or wo accident me apni jaan gawa baithi. Uske baad Aahil baba hospital me Doc ko check dene gaye to usne aapki badi ammi k bare me Aahil baba ko bataya. Or tab unhe samjh aaya ki us raat aap thi unke sath. Us dinn se Aahil baba kabhi chain se nahi rae. Unhone har jagah apki talash ki par aap nahil milli. Aahil baba ko apni galti ka dil se pachhtava hai. Maine unhe dekha hai apke liye tarapte hue.' Lateef revealed every bit of his past which was hidden from the world.
Sanam was in shock. Somewhere her heart felt something but what she dont know. She turn mute and stunned till lateef's voice distract her. 'are wo rai mill gai ball.'
Sanam saw blankly. 'ha shyad.'
'shayad nahi pkka mill gai ye dekho.', Lateef showed her.
'mumma meri ball milli kya?',Saanya asked from outside as Sanam ristriced her to come inside.
'ha baby ye lo.' lateef handovered her ans she ran to play.
Sanam came outside and walked towards her room. Phone ring grab her attention and she picked her up. Its was from Aahil. 'Sanam where are you main kabse try kar raha hu? Pata hai main kitna pareshan ho gaya tha. Or ye lateef ka bachha kaha hai? Koi call nahi le raha meri? Wha ho kya raha hai? Sanama do tell me are you ok?' he sounds scared. His voice reflecting the tension engrosed.
'wo hum log hall me Saanya k sath the isliye pata nahi chala.' She said flatly.
'ohk. Aaa...' he start searching for words to continue their chat. 'tum theek ho na sach me?' he is worried.
'aap theek hai?' instead of answering she raised a que and though addressing him 'aap.'
both turn silent for a min. She felt irritation on his own behaviour while Aahil was amused on her new gestur. He dont know what she is up to,but this small gesture gave immense happiness to him. An awkward silence is bounding them. She broke the silence. 'Aahil Saanya bula rahi hai. I have to go now.' She cut the call and take a long breath. She felt as someone put heavy stone onher chest. She cant even able to breath.
In eveng when he arrived all 3 do dinner together. Sanam was better then last night but still needs care so today again Aahil made Saanya sleep in seprate room. After she slept,Aahil went to saw her. She was in balcony,lost in her thoughts. Aahil pick up the blanket and draped her. 'thand hai and you are not well.' he explained his action to her. He wait for her reaction but when he dont got any he start moving,and stopped when his wrist was clenched by Sanam.
'Lateef told me everything.' Both glance to each other and she saw his confused look. 'she told me about you and your ammi's deeds.' she said and stopped.
