Sharath smiled at his thougts and streached a bit before answering his
dad's call... "Ji dad?"
"Aare beta vo draw or cubboard ke chabiyan kahan hai?" he asked, "Yahan
hai..."
"Wonderful, aur haan us admi ko kehedo ke vo abi esi waqth sound
system ko bhi teek karwade." he added, Sharath nodded when Mukti
walked in, "Papa unlogon ne sound system ko connect karwadiya aur baki
sari kaam bhi teek taak kar diya. Everything is fine, aur sare kamre bhi
teek hai. Birju kaka baas kitchen ko dekrahe hai aur maine hotale se
kaana bhi mangwadiya. It's on its way..."
"Great tho jaise kaane aatha hai hum sab kaa lenge. Waise tum bachon ko
kafi book lagi hogi." Mr. Bajaj replied patting Mukti on the head, she gave
him a tiered smile leaning into his shoulder and wraping an arm around
him. "Kya hua beta? Kafi thaki hui lag rahe ho?"
"Kafi dull feel karthi hoon papa." Mukti replied, "Aatheh ek pal ke liya..."
"Paanch saal wale aathe ya bachpan ke aathe Viva?" Sharath asked,
"Bachpan ka Sharath."
"Viva..." he sighed but she cut him off with a sigh, "I've lost them Sharath
all three of them. In front of my eyes and I can't do anything about it. Tuje
patha hai baba ko kithna bura lagtha tha ke vo muje un shandar party
kabhi nahi de paye the yaa muje public trasport mai jaana pada. Muje
apni padayi scolarship mai karna pada tha aur kabhi apni pasand ke
kapde nahi pehenpathi... hamesha dus baas sochna pada gar ke function
ke lika kya pehenu? Lekin phir bhi muje kush karne ke liya vo apne gham
chupathe the aur apni chehere par muskan lekar aathe the."
"Mukti beta bala tumne Jeevan jase ache baap ko diya hamesha yeah yaad
rako ke vo kyun tuje chodkar chala gaya tha. Hamesha beta... Never
forget ke vo tume ek aisa amanath dekar chalagaya. Vo amanath jo koi
bhi baap apni beti ke liya nahi depayenge, sahi bhi aur mo bole. Beta
muje ithen barosa tho hai ke tume vo amanath ko tum bahoth achi thara
raksha kar payegi. Waisa tum ho vo ladki ho jisne bahoth kuch kiya aur
zarur karpayegi."
"Thanks papa I feel much better now." Mukti replied hugging him one last
time, "Waisa jab thak aap aur Sharath hai mere saath mai vo jung lad
sakthi hoon."
Sharath smiled, "That's my buddy. Now chear up tume apne kaam par
focus karna padega aur aab hume ek acha lunch kaana padega. Let's go!"
"Mukti! Sharath... dad Prerna mom aap logon ko lunch ke liya bula rahi
hai." Tanisha came and told them. Mr. Bajaj smiled at her and nodded,
"We are on the way beta jao."
"Ji..." she went follwed by the threee of them for lunch. Prerna was bussy
unpacking and placeing some of the food in serving bowls, Mukti and
Sharath moved to help her out quietly transfering the bowls of food and
setting them asaide. Sneha and the others who had just finished looking
through the house began comming and placeing the things on the table.
Half way through she paused for a moment and looked up at Anurag who
was busy with Tushar on the next step. Sharath who had done stepped in
and cut him off, "That's really nice of you uncle after all hume koi local
person ke zarurath hai aur aab jo Tushar bhi hamare saath join karega
tho bahoth acha hoga. After all dad tho behind the screan opperate
karthe jo hai, we could use some one with local contact and market
knowladge. Waise Tushar publication ka bussiness paper aur magazines
ka incharge tha right?"
"Right." Anurag repied suprised, "Waise maana padega tumlog kafi
hoshiar ho."
"Hoshiar tho hona padega uncle nahi tho ithna bada bussines nahi sambal
payenge. Our bussiness is not based on the treditional mannagement
systems. Esiliye risk thoda bada hai lekin kafi strong bhi hai." Sharath
replied, "We could really use some help, ek kaam kartha hoon baad mai
tume hamare sare ke saare company details detha hoon tuje. Tu study
karo aur koi baad mai koi bhi quistions hai tho puchlena."
"Teek hai, if you don't mind kya Doris bhi hamare koi madath..." Sharath
cut him off, "Feel free we could use all the help we could get."
"Thanks Sharath lunch kaane chale waise Mukti aur Sneha ne tho shuru
kardiya." he pointed to the girls who had filled their plate and walked out
to have some private time with each other. Once they sat down in the
small table set in the garden Mukti quietly opened her drink as Sneha
began figiting with the panner. Mukti took a spoon full of pulow and
mixed some raitha before filling it in to her mouth. Slowly she watched
Sneha's face as she swalowed, "Food is not poisoned you can eat it."
"Mai kaa rahi hoon." Sneha replied takeing a bite of the roti to prove it to
her, Mukti only nodded sipping her drink then sighed, "Kya baath hai
Sneha?"
"Kyu?" she asked looking into Mukti's eyes, "Sharath ne mere jaan
bachaya apne jaan dhoke mai dal kar. Aagar vo nahi hotha tho shayad
mai aab ek photo ke thara hothi ek maale ke saath. Yaa shayad zinda
hothi, lekin ek zinda laash ke thara."
"Zinda llash.... Mukti lekin aisa kya hua?" Sneha begun but Mukti did not
continue, "Nahi yaar main tuje esa zyada kuch nahi bool saki aab. Lekin
haan ek baath tho bool saktha hoon. Sharath pehele jaisa nahi hai. He's
changed, a lot."
"I'll take your word for it..." Sneha replied for the first time in years,
smilling at her friend. Anurag watched the seen from the window when
someone placed a hand on him, "Sam?"
"Acha lagtha hai A.B yeah deek kar ki hamari Sneha kafi improve hone
lagi hai." she smiled, Anurag emotionally hugged her, "Kaash... kaash
yeah thab hotha jab vo mera.. lekin koi baath nahi. Kush hai yeah kafi
hai..."
Both of them turned to watch as the girls laughed over old times, what
they did not realise was Mr. Rishab Bajaj had over heard the whole
conversation.
