Part 3B

Both Milind and Neev are shocked seeing Alaap's condition, who was standing at the door. Neev immediately went towards Alaap and helped him inside. Milind thought it would be better if he left them alone, so he started going out but Alaap stops him "mein tumse hi baat karne ke liye aaya hoon"( I have come here to talk with you) he continued " mein tumse kuch maangne aaya hoon",( I wanted to ask you something). Neev thought it would be better if they both were left alone, "kaha jaha rahe ho Neev"(where are you going Neev), Neev heard a voice from behind as he was about the turn the knob. "aaj jho yeha pe hone wali hai na, usski gawa tum banoji"(you will be the witness for what's going today),Alaap saw Milind's anger on his face. "mein tumhe koi nukshaan karne ke liye nahi aaya hoon, mein sirf kuch maangne ke liye aaya hoon, mein meri behen Prachi ke liye teri haath maangne ke liye aaya hoon"(I didn't come here to make any losses to you,I just came here to ask you something, I wanted you to marry my sister), Neev was shocked and Milind was also equally shocked " lagtha hai ki Alaap pagal hogya,warna yeh jaanthe bhi ki mein uuske baap ko kitni nafrat karta hoon phir bhi woh yeh sab maang rahe the"(I think Alaap's gone mad, why does ask me marry a girl whose father I hate so much),thought Milind, he let out a laugh softly. "par…….Alaap Milind se teri………………", but Alaap cut Neev in the middle of the sentence. "nahi Neev bahut hogaye ab mein aur bardaast nahi karunga, aaj mujhe bolne do"(no Neev, everything went out of limits, I can't bear it,let me talk today) Milind still did not understand what Alaap was up to.

"Milind karogi na shaadi meri behen se", Milind was still unsure what to say "yehi soch rahe ho na ki Inder Shah ki bete ne uuski baap ki dushman se usski behen ki shaadi karne ja rahe the"(you are thinking that my father being your enemy ,but also I am asking you to marry my sister)Alaap continued, "kaho tho hum dost bhi ban sakte hai"(see we can be friends)
"tumse dosti kaise kar sakthe hai, aakhir tum tho meri dushman ke bete ho na", asks Milind in puzzled tone. "tum sirf Inder Shah ko jaante ho, usski parivaar walon ko nahi, woh sab ussko nafrat karte hai Prachi ko chod ke. Woh meri sapna aur pyar dono mujhse cheena tha"(you just kow my father but don't about his family,everyone hates him except Prachi), Milind was shocked seeing Alaap's hatred towards his father. " aur koi nahi hai, mere peeche kyon lag gaya, koi aur ko duundo"(is there no one ,why are you behind me, go and search for other person), Milind showed that he was not interested in this. " kya tum mere papa se badla nahi loonge"(you don't want to take revenge on my father), Milind was shocked how Alaap knew about his enemity towards Inder Shah. "tumhe kya faida iss mein? Tumhare kaandaan mein bina kuch faide ke liye koi kuch nahi karte hai na"(what gain do you get from this. I heard that your family does not do anything without any gain),he saw Alaap going towards the door, "meri faida meri ghar chodne mein hai,par Prachi ko usski sassural bechne ke baad hi hogi,mein chahta hoon ki kamse kam meri behen kush rahe"(I will gain something when I leave the house but I want to send Prachi to her in-law's house before that), saying this he opened the door and went off before Neev could stop him.

"shit………. Kaisa tha aur ab ussko dekhrahe tho waisa nahi ta poore ki poore change hogaya aur sirf Inder uncle ki wajahai tha"(shit……….he was not like this before, he changed completely because of Inder uncle). Milind could see anger in Neev's face. " baat uss din ke the jab woh college ki final year mein the, bahut haastha tha hasaathe the, sab ka khayal raktha tha bilkul alag tha usski papa se , pyar bhi kartha tha ek ladki se , woh dono aisa lagthe the ki ek dusre ke liye bane hue the, ladki ki naam Suyeesha,middle class ki ladki, par Alaap ko kuch farak nahi padthatha, kehtatha ki aisi ladki meri maa bhi chahthi"(it was when he was in final year of the college,he was a happy going guy, was in love with a girl,Suyeesha,a middle class girl,but he didn't care about it,he told she was prefect for his mother), Neev continued facing his face towards the window "Alaap ko pharmacy par interest tha, woh kuch naye medicines invent karna chahtha tha,par usski papa ne yeh sab par paani ferdiyatha, aur damkhi bhi di support na karne ki, so forcefully he had to do MBA and look out his dad's company."(he wanted to do pharmacy,want to invent something new, but his threatened him)

Milind looked pityly at Neev and "aage kya hua?" seeing that Milind was interested in the Alaap's past he continued

"Uuske baad jab isski shaadi ki baat ayi tho Alaap bina darr ke kehdiye the ki woh Suyeesha se pyar kartatha, phehle uncle ne mana kardiya tha, par Alaap ne ghar chodne ki dhamki di the, being only heir to the empire uncle ne shaadi ke liye haan kardi"(when it came to his marriage ,he darely told that he loved Suyeesha,at first uncle opposed him but Alaap threatened to leave the house, being only heir to the empire uncle said yes ), Milind looked Neev and signaled him to go on. Neev sat opposite to him and playing with the paperweight he continued "sab kuch theek chal raha tha Suyeesha apni jagha banadi uss ghar mein, sab log kush the, aur bahut kush hogaye the jab babhi pregnant bani, par kismet uskka saath nahi tha 4 montha ke baad miscarriage hua tha, aur doctors next pregnancy ko mana kardiyethe." Milind saw tears in Neev's eyes. He places his hand on his "mein theek hu, Milind"(everything was going well .she made her place in that house, everyone were happy that she was pregnant,but fate other options , she had a miscarriage and doctors told no to pregnancy.), he continues, "she was pregnant again , but Alaap insisted her to abort the child as she may die delivering that child. But she was stubborn and went through the pain of delivering the child which costed her life. Suddenly one day by accident he came to know it was uncle's work. He wanted the heir for this empire after Alaap, he did nit think anything about her life. Uus din se leker aaj thak woh sirf jeeraha tha matlaab jeeraha tha ,na chehre pe haasi, na kushi sirf uus beche ke liye aur Prachi ke liye jeerahatha." (from that day onwards he was just living, no smile ,no happiness on his face ,he was just living for the sake of his son and Prachi)

Milind got up from his place, took quick walks and dails a number from his cell
"Alaap mein ye shaadi karne ke liye tayaar hu ,par kisi bhi haalat mein Prachi ko in sab ke beeche nahi lana chahtha hoon. Tum teri papa ko kaise convince karonge"(I'm ready for the marriage,but I don't like to bring Prachi between all this. How are you going to convince your father for this)

"yeh sab mujhpe choddho aur ussko tere paas aane ka intezaar kariye jijaji" he could hear Alaap's happy voice from other side………….
