Kafi sare feedbacks achhe the...
But kuch logon par is dawayi ka SIDE EFFECT bhi hua hai (Eg: Roshnee )
Khair jo bhi hai ab aage badhna chahye...
Here comes the next part...hope u enjoy reading. ..
I did not see or hear Raman for next 2 days. Amma had grounded me, my punishment for talking elderly things & for throwing tantrums to meet Raman.
The days were terrible but the nights were peaceful for he was there in my dreams to comfort me.
I was afraid that I would only see him in my dreams & will never be able to meet him.
The fear was making a place in my mind when Toshi Aunty came to meet me which rekindled hope in me.
I was overjoyed to see her.
My eyes desperately searched behind her to see if Raman was also there, but sadly he wasn't.
My heart sank a little but then Toshi Aunty's sweet gesture of making me sit in her lap & caressing my hairs brought my heart back to its normal position.
"Aap mujhe lene aye ho?" I asked her excitedly.
I felt her squirm & then compose herself before saying "Lene aaungi par abhi nahi. Abhi mai ye batane ayi hun ke hum wapas apne ghar ja rahe hain"
"Apka ghar? Nanu Nani ka ghar apka ghar nahi hai?"
"Nahi beta mera ghar woh hai jahan Raman ke Papa rehte hain"
"Woh kyun? Mai to wahin rehti hun jahan mere Amma Appa rehte hain. To apko bhi wahin rehna chahye na jahan apke Amma Appa rehte hain"
"Nahi beta. Shadi ke baad sari ladkiyan apne best friend ke sath rehne keloye chali jati hain. Phir wahi unka ghar ban jatha hai"
"Par aisa kyun?"
"Maine apko bataya tha na ke shadi ke baad best friends hamesha saath rehte hain. To sath rehne keliye to unhe ek hi ghar pe rehna padega na"
"Haan aapne sahi kaha. Par dekho na Aunty Amma mujhe mere best friend se milne nahi de rahi. Aap ne to kaha tha ke mai aur Raman hamesha sath rahenge aur humein koi nahi rok payega"
"Haan beta. Lekin uske liye apko shadi tak wait karna padega. Shadi tak to apko apne Amma Appa ke sath hi rehna padega"
"To theek hai, aap abhi meri Raman se shadi kara do. Phir mujhe koi nahi rok payega, Amma bhi nahi"
"Aisa nahi hota beta"
"Kyun nahi hota Aunty?" I was at the verge of crying.
"Kyunki ab aap bahut chote ho. Chote bachhon ki shadi nahi hoti. Jab aap bade ho jaoge tab khud mai apki shadi karaungi. Lekin tab tak apko Amma Appa ke sath hi rehna hoga aur unki har baat maan ni padegi"
"But mujhe ab Amma achhi nahi lagti. Wo mujhe Raman se milne nahi deti"
"Aisa nahi kehte beta. Wo apki Amma hain na. Unko apki fikr hoti hai kyunki wo aap se bahut zyada pyar karti hain. Unko dar lagta hai ke kahin aap unko chodke kisi aur se pyar karne lage to phir unka kya hoga. Isiliye wo apko rokti hain"
"Sach me?"
"Haan beta. Jaise mai Simmi se bahut pyar karti hun usi tarah apki Amma bhi aapse bahut pyar karti hain"
"Aap sahi keh rahe ho Aunty"
"To phir ek waada karo ke aap unki har baat manoge aur unse badtameezi nahi karoge"
"Ok Aunty I promise"
"Now that's like my princess Ishita" she said pulling my cheek and then kissing it.
I smiled at her.
"To mai jaaun?" She asked.
"Aap wapas kab aaoge?" I asked expectantly
"Next year summer vacation me" she said with a sad face.
My smile turned into a frown. I would not be abke to meet Raman for another year.
"Raman mujhse mile bina hi chale jayega?" I choked expressing my worry.
Toshi Aunty's eyes filled up looking at my helplessness. She requested Amma to let me meet Raman for one last time.
One last time! Was this going to be the one last time I would meet him?
Amma was kind enough & let me go with Toshi Aunty.
Raman had his backpack on & had his cricket set in one of his hands.
"Raman" I whispered.
He turned around at the mere whisper.
"Ishita" he said putting his cricket bag down & running towards me.
He hugged me tightly and I did the same to him.
"Tum jaa rahe ho?" I asked sobbing loudly.
He came out of the embrace and simply nodded his head with a mournful expression.
"Tum mujhe bhool to nahi jaoge na?" I asked shedding more tears.
Baatein ye kabhi na tu bhoolna
He stared at me blankly and after some time nodded in a no.
I smiled rubbing my tears and said "I will wait for you"
Koi tere khatir hai jee raha
"Mumma kya mai yahin ruk sakta hun?" Raman asked his mom expectantly.
With a sad smile Toshi Aunty came forward and said "Agle hafte se tumhara school start ho raha hai beta. Humein jana hoga" she tried to explain.
"But mujhe Ishita ko chodke nahi jaana" he said stamping the floor.
I wanted Toshi Aunty to let him stay. When I looked at her she looked very sad. Then I remembered her words about a mother knowing what is good and bad for their children.
So I decided to step in.
I wiped all the remaining tears and stepped ahead, holding Raman's cheek I said "It's ok Raman. Tum cahle jao. School is important na. Waise bhi school start ho jayega to humein khelne ka time kahan milega. Tum Aunty ke sath chale jao ok"
"Ek shart pe jaunga" he said pointing a finger towards me.
"Kya?" I asked
"Tumhe bhi mere sath chalna hoga"
I wish I could. But I knew it was not possible. Toshi Aunty had very well explained the reason to me.
"Khud ko smart kehte ho par itna bhi nahi malum ke mai ab tumhare sath nahi aa sakti. Uske liye humein shadi karni hogi aur shadi keliye humein bade hona hoga"
"To mai bhi nahi jaunga" he was adamant.
"Raman ab tum jaoge to hi bade hoke wapas aaoge na mujhe lene keliye?" I tried to put some sense into his brain.
"Hmmm. Par mai tumse door nahi jan chahta" he grumpily nodded.
"Arre buddhu tum door jaoge to kya mai tumhe bhool jaungi? Nahi na...Tum jahan bhi jao mai hamesha tumhara wait karti rahungi"
Jaye tu kahin bhi ye sochna
Koi tere khatir hai jee raha
"Ok" he finally agreed.
"Chalo beta. Hamari flight ka time ho raha hai" Toshi Aunty said.
Toshi Aunty kissed my head lovingly, I wished good bye to Simmi and avoided eye contact with Raman. I knew I would cry & I didn't want to bid him a good bye with teary eyes.
I stood at the threshold & waved at them till they reached their car.
Then suddenly Raman halted in his steps turned back to look at me.
My hands stopped in mid-air.
That one look & I had lost control iver my senses. I leaped towards him, hugged him briefly, placed a soft peck on his cheek and said "Have a safe journey and come back soon"
Tu jahaan jaye mehfooz ho
Tu jahaan jaye mehfooz ho
Dil mera maange bas ye dua
He left & I was left with only his fond memories and of course his Dreams.
Days went by looking forward to the summer vacation. The vacation came but we had to move back to our hometown as fate had chosen my grandpa to fall sick in the very time.
Appa had promised we would return once grandpa was back in health. But he never recovered and left us forever.
Grandma was not ready to leave her ancestral house and so Appa decided to apply for a transfer to Chennai.
After that we never returned to Mumbai. Only Appa had gone for a few days to clear all the dues & shift all our essentials that we had left back in Mumbai.
All these days I lived in a hope that someday I would meet Raman.
Now there was nothing left in my life except his dreams.
His dreams acted as a medicine healing my pain & stayed by my side whenever I needed him.
Humdard hai Humdum bhi hai
Tu sath hai to zindagi
It's not like I dreamt of him every night.
There were nights when I would go early to bed just because I wanted to catch a glimpse of him. But I would wake up without a dream.
Those days I would feel lifeless, lonely and devoid of happiness.
Tu jo kabhi door rahe
Ye humse hojaye ajnabi
I grew up loving him. Not knowing if I will ever be able to meet him or tell him what he means to me.
Tujhse mohabbat karte hain jo
Tujhse mohabbat karte hain jo
Kaise karein hum usko bayaan
I just wished and hoped that he remembers that for the world he may be someone but for someone he is the world.
Baatein ye kabhi na tu bhoolna
Koi tere khatir hai jee raha
He was not in my life but I was happy for he was still in my dreams.
Because...
Tum Mere Khwabon Se Jaa Na Sake
