Part 7
“Shaurya Anokhi, what are you doing here?” Shaan asked, surprised.
Shaurya was dumbfounded. He looked here and there trying to come up with an explanation. He looked towards Anokhi. She had finally stopped sneezing. Her face had become red like an apple.
“Were you following me?” Aastha asked, frowning.
“No mam...I mean...I am sorry..b..but”, Anokhi kept stammering.
“Leave that, tell me Shaurya, has Aastha given you the divorce papers?” Shaan asked, looking at Shaurya.
Shaurya looked down and nodded.
“Then why did you not tell me?” Shaan asked, surprised.
Shaurya could not think of what to say. Then suddenly pointed at Anokhi and said, “She tore them off.”
Anokhi was shocked. She looked at him accusingly.
“Anokhi, what kind of childish behaviour is this? Why did you tear the papers?” Aastha said, in an admonishing tone.
“I am sorry Mam. I could not see you in pain. I know how much the divorce would hurt you.” Anokhi said, her voice almost cracking .
“Anokhi, you should keep one thing in mind. You are still just a student. And what happens in my personal life should be none of your business. It was my mistake to ask your help during Shaurya’s birthday and I am sorry for that. From now on, it would be better if you keep away from this. Have I made myself clear?” Aastha said, in an icy cold voice.
Anokhi has never heard her Aastha Mam talking to her in this manner. Tears started rolling down her cheeks.
Shaurya could not see her like this. He came and stood between Anokhi and Aastha, as if guarding the former and said, “Why are you blaming her when she was trying to help you? This girl has done so much for you and this is what she gets in return. I know you never cared about me or Dad, and this divorce is just a piece of paper for you. But I could see how miserable this was making Dad. He still cares a lot about a self-centered person like you and this divorce would break him. That is why I asked Anokhi’s help to stop it.” Shaurya was breathing heavily. He paused a bit and then said, “Anokhi come, let’s go from here.”
As he turned around he realised she was not there. He could see her running towards the park exit. Shaurya gave a disappointed look to his parents and ran towards Anokhi.
Shaan touched Aastha on the shoulders. “Are you okay? I am sorry that Shaurya talked to you like that.”
“I am fine. I should get used to him talking to me like that. You know all these years, I was not allowed to see him. I went to your house, to his school, even to the hospital where he was admitted and waited for hours, but Devi bhabi would always be around. She would create a scene and I had to leave. And when he was grown up, I hesitated to approach him fearing how he would react. I imagined all sorts of situations in my mind where he would batter me with his hatred. I was scared, and kept away from him. Now that I have faced him and my own demons, I feel a lot more free. I guess hatred is far better than indifference, isn’t it?” Astha said, trying to force a smile.
“Anokhi, Anokhi wait.” Shaurya came and caught her hand.
“Go away, I am not talking to you. How could you throw me under the bus like that?” Anokhi said, still crying.
“I am really sorry for that but I also defended you, didn’t you hear it? I admitted that it was my idea, and they should not scold you for it.”
Anokhi didn’t say anything. She sat down on a bench, sulking.
Shaurya could not understand what to do. He knelt on the ground before her and said, “That grumpy face is my trademark. It does not suit you at all. So tell me, what will it take to make you smile. Should I hold my ears?”
Anokhi shook her head in the negative.
“Then should I tickle you?” Saying this Shaurya extended his hands towards her.
“Nooo….please. I get tickled easily.” Anokhi stood up to avoid his hands.
“Ok, fine. Then you suggest something.”
Anokhi looked around. Suddenly, her eyes fixated on something and she pointed towards it. “I want to get on that.”
Shaurya looked in the direction of her finger. It was a seesaw.
“So what are you waiting for? Go ahead.”
“I cannot ride that alone. I need a partner.” Anokhi said.
“Partner. Who, me? No way. I cannot get on that. Is it my age to ride seesaws? What will people say?” Shaurya said, doubtfully.
“I have read somewhere, Life is too short to think about what people will say.”
“I think you made that up.” Shaurya said, looking at her suspiciously.
“Doesn’t matter.” Anokhi then held his hand and said, “Come partner.”
“This is so much fun”, Anokhi laughed as she went up.
“I don’t see any fun. You are up and I am still down. You should have looked for a lighter partner.” Shaurya said from below.
“I should have sure got a light hearted one. But I am unfortunately stuck with you who needs to be taught even how to have fun. Now do as I say. Push the ground with your feet.”
Shaurya followed her instructions.
“Wow, this is fun indeed.”
“Now that your cover has been blown, how are you going to stop the divorce?” Anokhi asked, going up.
“You asked me to follow the direct route. So I told them that I don’t want the divorce. Now let us see what they are going to do about this. Can we go on the swing next?”
“Oh no...the tiger cub has tasted blood.” Anokhi said, in mock alarm.
“I have not seen Shaurya so happy in years.” Shaan remarked, seeing him on the seesaw.
“Yes, he is an altogether different person around Anokhi. Did you notice how protective he is of her?” Aastha asked.
“I noticed one more thing. He does not want us to separate. Even if it means losing funds for his dream project.” Shaan said.
“Yes, but you just now said that Devi Bhabhi is going to throw Kanchan and Gayatri out if we don’t go through with this.”
“I know, but I really wish there was a way out of this. Devi Bhabi cannot always have her way by manipulating others.”
“You are right. She needs to learn a lesson. I think I know what to do.” Aastha said, as if thinking something.
“What is cooking in your mind?” Shaan asked with curiosity.
“I will tell you only if you promise to help me.” Aastha said, extending her palm towards him.
Shaan placed his hand over it and said, “Promise. I could not stand by your side 25 years ago, and it destroyed three lives. I won’t repeat the same mistake again.”
Aastha smiled, “Thanks. Now let us find out what is cooking between Shaurya and Anokhi.”
“I will have one rainbow gola.” Anokhi was telling the gola vendor. “What will you have Sir?” She asked Shaurya.
“Kala Khatta.”
Shaurya turned around hearing Aastha’s voice. Aastha and Shaan were coming towards them.
“That’s his favourite flavour.” Aastha said.
“No. It used to be, but not anymore. I will have an orange please.” Shaurya said, without looking at his mother.
“Don’t mind him Mam. His choices keep changing like his mood. Will you have something?” Anokhi asked Aastha.
“Thanks for asking but you both enjoy it. We have some important work to do. I came here to inform you something.” Aastha said.
Both of them looked at her curiously.
This time Shaan answered, “Shaurya, I am happy to see your concern for me, but I have thought a lot about it. We have been living apart for years. It is no use keeping this relationship just for the sake of it. Therefore we both have decided that we are going ahead with the divorce.”
Hearing this, Shaurya’s gola fell from his hand.
