Chapter 32

Its a very bright morning when sunshine hits Kashish's face and she opens her eyes slowly looking at him......she moved her hand to his forehead to check on his bandages when he opens his eyes.......

Sujal: Goodmorning Jaan..

Kashish: Goodmorning.........ab kaisa hai tumhara ghav.......

Sujal: Tumhare choothay hi ghav bhar gaya...

Kashish: abhi tumhe yaad karke dawai leni hai aur raat ko dressing karna hai......

Sujal: Tum muje waise bhi kahan bhulne dogi jaan...Tum jaisa kahogi waisa hi hoga..

Kashish: woh to hai.....aur abhi tum jaldi se taiyaar ho jao.....kyunki tumhe yaad hai na aaj tum muje us zameen ke malik ke pass leja rahe ho.........

Sujal: Kya........Maine kab kaha ki main tumhe aaj leke ja raha hoon?...Kashish kuch din ruk jao..

Kashish: Sujal.....hum aaj ja rahe hai......

Sujal: Kashish zidd mat karo...Kuch din ruk jaao na..

Kashish: tum muje aaj hi leja rahe ho........

Sujal: Uff!......Tum bohat ziddi hoti ja rahi ho...Kabhi baat nahin manogi na?

Kashish: jooth mat bolo........hamesha tumhari baat manti hoon........

Sujal: Jhooth main nahin tum bol rahi ho...hamesha main tumhari baat maanta hoon

Kashish: chodo muje.....muje koi baat nahi karni......main akeli hi chali jaungi........

Sujal: arre tum to burra maan gayi...I'm sorry jaan...main hi jhooth bol raha tha tum sahi thi............

Kashish: chodo muje......maine kaha na muje kuch nahi sunna.........main ja rahi hoon.....

He rolls on top of her holding her arms down...

Sujal: Maine kaha na sorry...Please mujse naraz mat raho...Tum jo sazaa dogi muje woh manzoor hai par yeh sazaa mat do Kashish.........

Kashish: main kaha tumhe saza de rahi hoon.......ab muje jane do muje dair ho rahi hai.........

Sujal: Tum mujse naraaz to nahin ho na?

Kashish: nahi to.....

Sujal: Nahin muje lagta hai tum abhi naraaz ho mujse........

Kashish: maine kaha na nahi hoon.......

Sujal: to hum dono jaa rahe haina zameen dekhne?

Kashish: hmm......

Sujal (to himself): Lagta hai abhi tak mood kharab hai...Hmm kuch karna hoga...

She was looking in the other direction when he held his eye and started to rub it...

Sujal: Ouch!

Kashish: kya hua......Sujal......dikhao......

Sujal: Kashish...Shayad aankh me kuch chala gaya...

Kashish: haath hatao.......muje dekhne to do Sujal........

He moves his hand when she holds her head a little higher,closer to his and holds his face looking into his eye...He tries to hide his smile...

Sujal: Kuch dikha?

Kashish: tum hilna bandh karo......tumhe lag jayegi........

Sujal: main kahan hil raha hoon...main to bas...

He moves a little forward and kisses her cheek

Kashish: Sujal....kya rah rahe ho......dekhne to do....

Sujal: to maine kahan roka hai...

He kisses her other cheek

Kashish: Sujal....tum jan bujke aisa kar rahe ho......

Sujal: nahin to...muje sach me laggi hai...mera matlab hai kuch aankh me gaya hai..........

Kashish: muje kuch dikhai nahi deta..........joothe.........

Sujal: par muje to bohat kuch dikhai deraha hai...

He looks at her lips running his finger along the outline.... she hits on his hand which was on her lips.........

Kashish: chalo ab muje jane do.....dair ho rahi hai.......

Sujal: Pehle is maar ke badle ka pyar to tumhe de dun...

He bends forward and places his lips on top of her and kisses her whilst holding onto her hand............ After sometimes she moves back and looks at him with love and care in her eyes........

Sujal: Aise kya dekh rahi hain aap jaan?

Kashish: yahi ki koi kisi se itna pyaar kaise kar sakta hai.......

Sujal: Pyar to har koi karta hai Kashish par main to tumhe poojta hoon...tum mere liye mera bhagwan ho kyunki tumne muje ek nayi zindagi di hai...aur us zindagi ko tumne pyar aur khushiyon se bhar diya....main sirf tumhe poojta hi nahin balke tumhe jeeta bhi hoon

Kashish: aur main ek pal bhi tumhare bigar nahi reh sakti kyunki bahot pyaar karti hoon............I love you Sujal........

Sujal: I love you too Kashish.....

He just hugs her tightly whilst she ran her fingers in his hair....

Kashish: ab chalo bahot dair ho gayi.......us zameen pe bhi jana hai........

Sujal: haa thik hai...pehle tum ho aao washroom uske baad main jaata hoon

He just moves back into his place...........she gets up and sits and looks at him and than bends down and kiss his forehead and than went to get ready........ He just smiled whilst touching his forehead and then kissed his hand with which he touched his forehead...........after some time they both have their breakfast and leave for the land........

****************************************************************************

It was now 11AM and Sujal Kashish reached the land...He stopped the car and parked it...He looked at her..

Sujal: Kashish ek baar phirse sochlo...Kya tum wake me us insaan se milna chahti ho?

Kashish; Sujal tum sirf mere saath chalo........baat main karungi........

Sujal: thik hai...Par agar usne tumhe kuch bhi ulta seedha kaha to main usse chodunga nahin...

Kashish: tum kuch nahi kahoge........kuch nahi.........tum meri baat ko nahi tal sakte.........

Sujal: thik hai...Jaisa tum chaho...Chalo.

They both get out of the car and they walk further onto the land when they see the landlord...He gets up and walks towards them...

Landlord: aap phir aa gaye...Kya aap ko samaj me nahin aata?..........main yeh zameen bechna nahin chahta aur mera faisla kabhi nahin badlega...........

Kashish: Namaste.......main Kashish Garewal inki patni...........aap pehle ek bar meri baat sun le.......aur phir bhi aap ko apni zameen nahi bechni to main koi zabardasti nahi karungi aur main aapse vaada karti hoon ki Sujal kabhi dubara mud ke bhi is zameen ko nahi dekhega......lekin ek baar meri baat sun lijiye........

He looks at Kashish...

Landlord: thik hai...main aapki baat sunne ko taiyaar hoon...Kahiye

Kashish: aap yeh zameen kyun nahi bechna chahte.........koi aisi waje jisse aap muje bata sake........main aapki madad karungi......

Landlord: Yeh zameen main is liye nahin bechna chahta kyunki yeh meri purkhon ki zameen hai...Yeh mere dada ne bohat mehnat karke khareedi thi...Yahin zameen unhone mere baba ko di thi aur mere baba ke guzar jaane ke baad unhone muje...Ab main isse kaise bech sakta hoon?

Kashish: aapko pata hai aap kya karne ki koshish kar rahe hai...........aapke Dada ne yeh zameen aapke baba ko di lekin aapke baba ne is zameen ko aur badi ki.......aapke baba ne yeh zameen aapko deke kaha ki aap inka khayal kare.........lekin sach to yeh hai ki aap hi kabhi apne dada aur baba ko samaj hi nahi paye.......woh aapko zindagi me aage badhte dekhna chahte hai........aur zameen ka kya hai......woh aaj hai kal nahi.....yaad hume apne bado ke sanskar aur pyar ko rakhna hai.........ab muje hi dekh lijiye main ek chote se seher Shimla ki hoon jab meri shaadi huyi to muje bhi bura laga ki maine apne seher ko kho diya........lekin phir Delhi aake itne khushi mili ki main bata nahi sakti.........aap aaj yeh zameen bech ke apne bacho ke liye ek bahot hi achcha bhavishy bana sakte hai......main chahti hoon ki jaha mere bache school me jaye waha aap hi ke bache bhi jaye.........aap ek bar apne bacho ke bare me soch ke faisla kare kyunki kabhi kabhi kuch khoke bahot kuch milta hai..........

He looks up at Kashish...

Landlord: Shayad aapne sahi kaha hai...main hi apne dada aur baba ki baat ko samaj nahin paaya...main apne bachon ke bhavishya ko sawarne ke liye is zameen ko bechne ke liye taiyaar hoon...

Sujal was shocked he couldn't believe it...He looks at the Landlord and then Kashish...

Kashish: thik hai to aap muje is kagaz pe sign kar dijiye........lekin aapko meri baat pe yakeen to hai na..........

Landlord: muje aapki baat par pura yakeen hai...aap bohat hi achchi aur samajdaar hain...muje aapko yeh zameen bechne me koi afsos nahin hoga.......balke khushi hogi ki yeh zameen kissi galat haathon me nahin ja rahi...laiye main sign kar deta hoon...

Kashish hands him the papers and Sujal was overwhelmed...His happiness was visible on his face...The landlord returns the file and Sujal writes him a cheque...

Sujal: Yeh lijiye aapka cheque...Aap dekh lijiye...teen guna paise hai jaise maine aapse vaada kiya tha...

Landlord: bahot bahot sukriya aapka.........

Kashish: Sujal chale ghar.........

Sujal: haa chalo...Aur ek baar phirse aapka bohat bohat shukriya...

He said looking at the Landlord..They shake hands and then Sujal and Kashish leave in their car

Kashish: Sujal.....

He just looks at her and smiles...

Sujal: Kya baat hai Kashish?

Kashish: is khushi me muje kahi Lunch pe nahi leke jaoge.......

Sujal: Sirf lunch?..main to aaj tumhe dinner pe bhi leke jaaunga..Kashish tumne muje mera sapna lauta diya...Aaj tum jo maangogi woh main tumhe dunga...Kya chahiye tumhe batao?

Kashish: yahi ki tum aage se apni sari pareshani muje bataoge taki main tumhe madad kar saku.......

Sujal: Tumne to kuch maanga hi nahin Kashish...main tumse vaada karta hoon ki aage se apni koi bhi pareshani nahin chupaunga kyunki mujh par tumhara pura haq hai...Ab batao jaan tum kahan jaana pasand karogi?

Kashish: kahi pe bhi....main sirf tumhare saath aaj lunch karna chahti hoon......

Sujal: Sirf mere saath...to thik hai hum koi aisi jagah chalte hain jahan humare siwah aur koi na ho...

Kashish: thik hai........

They both leave for the city......

****************************************************************************

After sometime Sujal and Kashish go to a resteraunt situated near there house close to the market...Sujal and Kashish get out of the car when someone stops there bike at a distance...It was Abhay who was going towards the coffee shop to meet Kashish...When he saw Kashish with Sujal,he parked his bike and followed them...Sujal and Kashish booked a table for 2 situated near the corner of the resteraunt...They went towards the table whilst Abhay went and sat at the bar watching them...Sujal took out Kashish's chair for her and she sat down and then he sat across her...The waiter came and he ordered all Kashish's favourite dishes...They were sat whilst talking to each other.

Kashish: Sujal..........aaj main bahot bahot khush hoon tumhare liye.....

Sujal: aur meri khushi ka to koi thikana nahin...Samaj nahin aata kya karun kya na karun!...ab finally mera dream project pura hoga...aur yeh sab tumhari waje se....Thank you Kashish...Tumne muje bohat khushi di hai aaj...

He takes her hands into his and kisses them...Abhay who was watching all this,breaks the glass in anger

Kashish: Thanks kehna hai to soch lo main aage se koi tumhara kaam nahi karungi..........

Sujal: achcha thik hai nahin kehta...Par thanks ke badle kuch aur hai mere paas tumhare liye..

He lets go of her hands and pulls out a rose from the inner pocket and holds it infront of her with a smile

Kashish: yeh tarika sabse jyada achcha hai......

Sujal: Isse bhi achche tareeke hain...Woh main tumhe raat ko bataunga...Filhaal yeh gulab to lijiye Mam

She takes the rose and just looks at him........and smiles.... They both just sit there looking at each other and he was slowly caressing her hand...The food arrived and they started to feed each other having a great time....Abhay who was watching all this got really jealous and angry and then left from there...

Kashish: Sujal......aaj tumhari panch baje presentation thi na......bhul gaye na tum...........main janti thi......

Sujal: Oh mar gaye!...main to bhool gaya tha...muje Angad nahin chodne waala...Chalo main tumhe ghar chod deta hoon phir chala jaaunga...

Kashish: pata nahi tumhara mere aur Angad ke bina kya hota........chalo ab......

Sujal: Mera kuch nahin hota jaan...Kuch bhi nahin...

They both leave for home...Sujal picks up his file and was about to go...

Sujal: Kashish main 8 baje tak aa jaunga thik hai...

Kashish: Sujalllll......

Sujal: haa kya hua?

She walks toward him and makes his tie straight and kiss him on his cheek........

Kashish: good luck........

He touches his cheek with a smile and then kisses her forehead...

Sujal: I love you jaan...

Kashish: I love you too....ab tum jao dair ho rahi hai tumhe.........aur ple sambhalke jana........

Sujal: Tum meri fikar math karo...Apna khayal rakhna...Bye...

Saying this he leaves...

Kashish: bye.......

She closes the door and walks toward her room..........

****************************************************************************

It was 7:15 PM .........Kashish was alone in the home bcoz all the servents had left today........She was watching the news about Sujal' Dream Project on TV..........She was feeling so proud on Sujal her husband.......when a doorbell rings.........she got so excited that he is here with her..........she goes and opens the door without looking..............

Kashish: Hi Jaan............aaj jaldi aa gaye tum..........

Abhay: Hi Kashish....Mujhe nahin pata tum mera intezar kar rahi thi...

He has a cunning smile on his face...

Kashish (shocked) : aap......aap yaha kya kar rahe hai........

Abhay: Tumse hi milne aaya tha aur yeh puchne ki aaj tum coffee shop me kyun nahin aayi?

Kashish: aapse milne aana ya na aana woh meri marzi .........aur waise bhi main apne pati ke saath busy thi...........

Abhay: Haan maine dekha tha tum dono ko ek saath resteraunt me...Main wahin saamne betha tha lekin shayad tumne nahin dekha..

Kashish: muje apne pati ke alawa aur kahi bhi dekhne ki zaroorat nahi............

Abhay: Par muje tumhe dekhne ki zaroorat hai...Kashish main tumhe bohat pasand karta hoon...Tumhe dekhe binna mera din nahin guzarta..........

Kashish: aapko pata hai aap kya keh rahe hai...........aap ek shaadishuda ladki se baat kar rahe hai..............meri shaadi ho chuki hai aur main apni pati se bahot bahot pyaar karti hoon............samje aap......

Abhay: Muje koi fark nahin padta agar tumhari shaadi hui hai to...Meri feelings tab bhi wahin hain...

Kashish: muje kuch nahi sunna ki aap mere bare me kya sochte hai...........main Sujal ki patni hoon aur Sujal se bahot pyaar karri hoon...........ab aap ple yaha se jaiye isse pehle main police ko bulau.........

Abhay: Police kuch nahin kar payengi...Aaj tak woh kuch kar nahin paye to ab kya karenge?

Kashish: ple aap yaha se jaiye........warna main chikh chikh ke sabhi logo ko yaha bulaungi..........ple aap yaha se jaiye ...Sujal aata hi hoga.............

Abhay: thik hai par pehle tum mujse vaada karo ki tum mujse kal milne aaogi.........

Kashish: main koi aapse milne nahi aa rahi samje aap...........

Abhay: main tumhara intezar karunga...

Saying this he leaves from there

Kashish: main nahi aanewali..............

She quickly closes the door and rests her back against it...A tear rolls down her cheeks..............

****************************************************************************

It was now 8pm and Sujal came home with a bouquet of red roses for Kashish...He rang the bell but she didn't open it...He tried again but still she didn't open it...He took out his keys and unlocked the door...He came inside and saw the whole house was dark and she wasn't downstairs...He went upto his room and looked around when he saw her sat outside on the swing...He walked up behind her and saw her looking lost and upset...He took the bouquet and held them infront of her...She turned around and saw him smiling...

Kashish: Sujal tum.....tum kab aaye.........

Sujal: Jab tum apni soch me kahin gum thi tab...

Kashish: nahi to main to aise hi kuch soch rahi thi...........

Sujal: Hmmm...Iska matlab tum mere baare mein soch rahi thi...

He puts his arms around her shoulders

Kashish: main tumhare alawa kisi aur ke bare me soch sakti hoon.............

She just went into his arms closing her eyes..........

He smiles while holding her tightly in his arms...He moves closer to her ear and whispers..

Sujal: I love you....

He kissed her ear...

Sujal: Chalo na Kashish hum bahar chalte hain dinner pe..

Kashish: mera mood nahi hai aaj...phir kabhi chalenge...........

He seperates her from himself and holds her face in his palms...

Sujal: uski fikar tum mat karo...main hoon na mood banane ke liye...

He starts to bring his lips near hers...........She pushed him and he was surprised by her move.............

Kashish: Sujal.........tumhe ek bar maine kaha to samaj me nahi aata.....kya her waqt....maine kaha na mera mood nahi aur hum kisi aur din bahar jayenge............ab tum jaldi se neeche aao main dinner lagati hoon.............

She takes flowers from the swing and left for downstairs........

He just stood there shocked...He couldn't believe what had just happened...But he realised something definetly must be wrong otherwise she would never react that way...He just stood there for a moment and then went downstairs....He saw her putting food on the dining table...He just quietly came and sat down at the table...She too sat down and both started to eat...Kashish wasn't looking at him...Just trying to eat her food...Sujal just looks at her...

Sujal: Kashish....Kya baat hai....Tum itni pareshan kyun ho?

Kashish: kuch bhi to nahi.......bas aise hi.....

Sujal: kuch to hai...Kya tumhe mujpe bharosa nahin?...tum kyun apni pareshani muje nahin baantna chahti?

Kashish: Sujal jab koi pareshani hi nahi to main tumhe kya batau..........aur main tumpe khud se bhi jyada bharosha karti hoon......lekin sach me kuch nahi hai............

Sujal: Kashish tum mujse kuch nahin chupa sakti...main tumhe tumse behtar jaanta hoon...tumhare chehre pe saaf saaf likha hai ki tum kisi baat ko leke pareshan ho.........

Kashish: Sujal........agar muje aisa lagega ki main pareshan hoon to main tumhe zaroor bataungi aur itna main janti hoon ki main apni pareshani sirf tumhare saath bant sakti hoon...........lekin abhi main khud nahi janti ki main pareshan hoon bhi ki nahi...........

Sujal: thik hai main tumhe force nahin karunga..tum jab chaho muje aake apni pareshani bata sakti ho main tumhare saath rahunga.......Tum khaana kha lo

They both quietly have their dinner and he just went to his room working on his dream project and she cleans the kitchen and comes to her room and went to washroom to get changed........she comes out and takes out her novel and starts to read but she couldnt focus on it.........after an hour she closed her novel and put it on side table and turns off the light and went to bed without saying anything to Sujal..........

He looked back at her and saw she had gone to bed...He got up and walked towards her to see if she was ok...He saw that her eyes were closed..he sat down by her and check her forehead but she was ok...........After a moment he left the room and went outside to meet the guard...

Sujal: kya aaj yahan koi aaya tha...

Guard: jee sir.....ek ladka aaya tha woh Nandinimam ka kuch pata karne lekin muje kuch pata nahi tha is liye woh Kashishmam se milne andar gaya..........

Sujal: Ok thanks...

He starts walking towards the house whilst still thinking about what the guard had just told him...For some reason he thought something is not right and this man had something to do with Kashish being worried...He walked inside his room and went to the washroom.When he came out he lay in bed where he looked at her and saw tears flowing from her eyes...He couldn't sleep...He spent the whole night looking at her...
