Chapter 74
She looked at her mother... she never saw her this weak or broke... and it killed her soul to see her mother in such a condition ... in all her attempts to know the answers of her questions she forgot... what her mother must be going through or... as Kunj said there would be a deep reason for her actions... she dint give her mother a benefit of doubt and kept firing her accusations... just like she did the other night at Kunj when she got to know that her father was alive... in the same way she hurt Kunj she today hurt her mother...
"Maa.. I m sorry... I m really sorrie..."
She got down on her knees sat below beside her mother keepin g her head in her lap...
"Maa.. aap toa janti hai na apni Twinkle ko... bina soche samje kuch bhi bolti rehti hai... plz Maa.. I m really sorrie...Aap jaise bolengi mein vaise karungi... mein kisi se bhi milne ki zid nahi karungi..."
Leela sighed and wiped her tears... she was a strong independent women... yes she had her weak moments but she wouldnt let them blur her mind and heart...
She placed her hand over Twinkles head...
"Puttar... mein tujse naaraz nahi hu... meri bachi se bhala kaise naaraz ho sakti hu mein...uth"
Twinkle looked from below with tearful eyes... and a smile...
And hugged Leela...
She rested in the warmth of her mother for a while... and... then left... still with few questions unanswered but a firm mind that she would not do anything in this world to hurt her mother... but still Leelas words were ringing in her ears when she entered the house... just then Kunj grabbed her shoulders and fired questions over her.. and she blasted at him...
'I m sorry Kunj...plz...mere pas aa jao..muje bohot zarurat hai tumhari...'she said in her mind standing in the balcony looking over the orange blue shade painted above...
She did it again... she does it every time... speaks whatever comes to her mind... n today that too in front of every1... what would all think... he was so much worried.. she was the one who dint inform him... and she dint care... she dint even bother to apologise... he had decided... he was not going to get angry at her... he should not care about her much... she was distracting him a lot nowadays... and this was the result that her cared too much... he decided now he would remain indifferent towards her... from now onwards... 'only his heart knew how miserably he was going to fail...'
He walked in their room after all the work was completed . he was tired again... the cup and tea still lay untouched... he sat on the couch and closed his eyes...
She walked in their room when she couldnt spot him in the garden or common plot...
He was sitting on the couch with closed eyes...maybe taking a nap... his forehead was worried...maybe bciz of her behavior in the hall... she cursed herself... and touched her shoulders.. where his hands laid... clutching them with authority ,his eyes full of concern and anger for her... irresponsible behavior... she wanted to feel his touch... but she had hurt his self respect... insulted his touch he would stay away from now on... but she dint cared at the moment... she would have to forcefully go near him...
She walked over and.. touched his forehead.. to erase the lines of worry...
He smelled her jasmine smell and knew she was near but dint bother to open his eyes... when he felt her touch he felt... soothing.. and felt all his tiredness wash away... why dammit.. why was her touch so tempting... his body could not resist it however hard he tried
He opened his eyes and.. looked expressionless... he got up... and walked over to cupboard..
"Kunj" it was a mere whisper...
"Twinkle... I m sorry.. mene niche kuch zyda hi over react kar diya.. muje itni fikar nahi karni chachiye thi.. vo bas.. biwi ho tum meri zimmedari ho meri isliye.. thodi chinta ho gayi thi..."
"Sirf tumhari zimmedari thi isliye Kunj tum.chinta kar rahe the..."she asked..her voice broken...
"Toa aur kya reason ho sakta hai..."
"Kunj.. aise kyu behave kar rahe ho... chillao mujpar... danto muje.. mene jo kiya niche sabke samne.. tumko gussa nahi aya mujpar.."
"Its okay...Twinkle adat ho gayi hai ab.."his words pierced her heart.. which was already bleeding... seeing her reaction he at once regretted speaking.. those spiteful words.. his heart screamed... that there was something more... to this behavior of hers.. and he let go of his ego... his resolve to remain indiffrrent was fading away...
He walked.. over to her ..looked at her in the eyes... and asked with a cute.. hubbylike voice..
"Twinkle... muje mera white kurta nahi mil raha ... yahi cupboard mein rakha tha... tumnhe pata hai.. kaha hai.."
His normal tone without any arrogance rudeness or sarcasm gave her hope..
Without wiping her wet eyes.. she walked over to cupboard speaking...all delighted at knowing about her husbands belongings better than him..
"Yahi rakha hai.. .. Kunj tumne thik se dekha nahi hoga.. ye.. last rack mein piche... rakha hai.."
And she pulled out what he was looking for... handed him
"Vo.. kal pehnna hai.. isliye.. kal tum.. kuch red pehnna.."
She was more than ready to do anything to make him talk normally to her...
"Mein.. chacha ko de ata hu.. Iron karne.."
"Mein kar dungi.. Kunj.. muje ata hai.. mein kar dungi Iron lao."
And he looked surprised.. at her sudden want to Iron his Kurta..
She placed the Kurta back in the cupboard...
"Kya.. vapas kyu rakh diya.. Iron karne vali thi na"
"Nahi.. kal jab tum ready hovoge tab hi kar ke dungi... abhi karungi toa kal subah tak firse crease pad jayegi.."
"Thik hai.." and he walked in the balcony.. he was succesful in distracting her mind.. from whatever pain was bothering her... she was normal.. and not crying but.. he was still hurt... and wanted to be alone.. she had pushed him away..
She watched him again get all tensed and silent... and he walked in the balcony... how hard he tried to hide it... and be normal but she could look past him..
.it was dark outside... there was just some moonlight... making balcony visible..
She still did not over come the rolller coaster of emotions she went through this evening.. she walked behind him.. and.. hugged him from behind he was taken aback... she just hugged him in the afternoon when.. she talked to him abiut talking to her mother...
but he was not ready for a hug...
He took her hands in his and.. turned around...
"Mein change karke aata hu.."
But she blocked his way.. he walked.. towards the other side.. but she blocked again..
He narrowed his eyes..
"Kya.. kar rhi ho Twinkle.. "
"Tum jo.kar rahe ho vo kyu kar rahe ho"
"Kya.."
"Aise.. dur dur kyu reh rahe ho"
"Tumne khud toa...
"Kunj... mein thodi stressed thi.. thodi sensitive situation mein thi.. isliye mein.. m sorrie.. Kunj"
"Twinkle.. muje fikar ho rahi thi uska kya.. pata hai.. kya..guzar rahi thi mujpar.."he poured out looking directly into her eyes.. she was happy finally they were talking..
"Tuje pata hai.. aisi koi jagah nahi jaha.. mene tuje dhunda nahi..teri har dost k yaha phone kiya.. Maa ko phone karne ki.himmat nahi ho rahi thi.. ki unko kya bataunga ki.. unki beti kaha gayi... tu apna mobile bhi nahi le gayi thi sath mein... kisi ko bata k nahi gayi thi... Twinkle..Tu...
She placed her hands on his lips.. and held his cheek.. and looked in his eyes.. which showed nothing but how worried he was...she thanked her mother and Babaji for giving her Kunj...
"Itni fikar ho rahi thi meri.. Kunj"
"Twinkle yaha mein serious baat kar raha hu.. n tumhe.."
She took his hands.. and.. kissed them...she had tears... and they dropped over his hands.. the hands which she pushed away.. and.. snaked her arms.. through his waist.. and.. placed her head.. on his chest.. listening his heartbeat... which calmed her soul... as she felt all her pain drain away...
His heart gave in all... the hurt... what he felt was just becoz he was worried for her.. and placed his hand.. over her head... and her back.. hugging her back.. slowly...
After a while..
They were brought back to reality by palash chacha knocking and calling them for dinner...
They silently had.. dinner... with the family... together.. and discussed the preparations of tommorows puja... she looked
Over to her husband.. how excited he was about this MahaShivratri,,how devoted he was... to his fovourite God...
In their room... as she adjusted..their bed..
"Toa.. tum kabhi muje batane vali ho... ki. Kaha gayi thi... sham ko.. ki agle janam tak wait karna hoga.."
He asked.. standing right behind her.. making her jump as she turned .. and he chuckled.. playing this prank on her..
"Kunj...dara hi diya..tumne.."
She held his.. hand.. and.. made him sit on the couch..
"Kunj.. mein.. vo sham ko.. Maa se baat karne gayi thi..."
And he was serious again.. and placed his hand over hers.. his eyes held questions...
