Chapter 21

Ab raat isi tarah bit jati hai. Subaah ke kareeban 9 baj gaye hai. Kripa hospital jane ke taiyariyaan karti hai. Tabhi Angad waha pe aata hai.

Kripa: are Angad tum aao naa. main bas hospital jane ke liye nikal hi rahi thi.

Angad: Kripa, ek baat puchu tum se kya tumhe lagta hai ki pyaar jaisi koi chiz is duniya main hai.

Kripa: pehle vishwas nahin hota tha lekin jab se kashish aur sujal ko dekha hai yeh mera vishwas aur gehra hota ja raha hai. Pata nahin bhagwan us dono ko kyun itna tadpa rahe hai. Kashish ne pehle hi bahot dard jela hai. Kabhi kabhi muje darr lagta hai ki kahin main sab logo ki tarah kashish ko bhi na kho doon.

Tabhi Angad ke cell pe sujal ka phone aata hai aur sujal use kal raat ke bare me batata hai.

Angad: Kuch nahin hoga kashish ko. Abhi sujal ka phone aaya tha bata raha tha ki kal raat kashish ne khud apne haath se sujal ka haath pakda tha.

Kripa: Kya. yeh to bahot hi khushi ki baat hai. Main abhi anjali ko phone karti hoon.

Tring..........tring.................

Anjali: Kripa, sab kuch thik to hai naa aur tu bahot khush lag rahi hai.

Kripa: haa anjali, aaj main bahot khush hoon pata hai kyun kal kashish ne pure do mahino ke baad apna haath hilaya aur doctor ke rahe the kashish ab jald se thik ho jayegi aur yeh sab sujal ki waje se.

Kripa: haa Anjali, main hospital ja rahi hoon kashish se milne.

Anjali: main bhi kuch hi dair main pahonchti hoon.

Kripa: bye see u at the hospital.

Angad dekhta hai ki Kripa bahot hi khush dikhai de rahi hai.

Angad: kripa main bhi hospital hi jaa raha hoon. saath me chalte hai.

Kripa: ek minute main kuch leke aati hoon.

After sometime kripa comes and they both reach hospital.

<><><><><><><>< ><><><><><><><> <><><><><><><>< ><><><><><><><> <><><><>

They both enter kashish's room.

Angad: Kashish thik to hai naa.

Sujal: bahot jald thik ho jayegi.

Kripa: aur yeh sab kuch tumhari waje se mumkin hai. thank you sujal.

Sujal: Maine kuch nahin kiya yeh sab to mera farz tha.

Kripa: tum bahot achche ho sujal. Yeh lo main kuch tumhare liye layi hoon.

She handed to sujal.

Sujal: yeh sab kya hai.

Kripa: yeh kashish ki personal diary hai shayad yeh tumhare kaam aaye aur yeh wahi chudiyaan hai jo tumne use di thi. Kashish ne ise utar di thi kyunki woh tumhari yaadoin se durr jana chahti thi lekin dil se woh tumse kabhi juda nahin ho payi. Yeh use pehna dena.

When Anjali and Kavya enters.

Kavya is surprized to see Sujal.

Sujal: tum yahaan.

Kavya: tum yahaan kya kar rahe ho.

Anjali: kya tum ek dusre ko jante ho.

Kvaya: haa anjali hum log USA me ek hi college me the main iska senior tha.

Sujal: lekin tum yahaan.

Kripa: sujal yeh meri badi behen Anjali aur uska pati Kavya. aur yeh hai.

Kavya: janta hoon sujal aur angad. Muje to abhi yakeen nahin aata ki tum hi woh sujal ho.

Anjali: ab yeh sab baatein chodo aur yeh batao ki kashish kaisi hai.

Sujal: mere hote huye use kabhi kuch nahin ho sakta.

Anjali: janti hoon lekin kya karoo badi hone ke naate maine papa se promise kiya tha kashish aur kripa ki khushi ka.

Kripa anjali ke gale lag kar rone lagti hai.

Kripa: kisne kaha ki hum khush nahin hai. mere liye yahi kafi hai ki hum teeno saath hai.

Angad: aaj se yeh rone ke din khatam huye. aaj se koi nahin royega. agar kuch hoga to sirf khusiyaan.

Kavya: bilkul sahi kaha. Aur kripa agar kashish ko pata chalega ki tum dono is tarah to use kitna bura lagega na.

Kripa just nodded his head.

Sujal: aaj se kashish ki saari jimedari meri. Aaj se hum sab log pehle ki tarah normal life jeyenge. Aur kripa tum phir se KnK boutique khologi. Kashish ke liye. Karogi na tum.

Kripa: Kashish ke liye main kuch bhi kar sakti hoon.

Angad: chalo main tumhari madad karta hoon.

Kripa aur angad nikalte hai.

Kavya: hum bhi nikalte hai ek meeting hai office me.

Anjali: Sujal kashish ka khayal rakhna.

Sujal: anjali tum kyun itna pareshan ho rahi ho. just calm down. mujpe yakeen hai na tumhe.

Anjali: ab tum per hi yakeen hai mera. chalti hoon sham ko aaungi. bye.

Kavya: bye take care..

sujal; bye.

<><><><><><><>< ><><><><><><><> <><><><><><><>< ><><><><><><><> <><><><>

Sujal sabke jane ke baad kashish ki dairy padhne lagta hai.

" Aaj main delhi gayi thi kisi aur kaam se lekin milke aa rahi hoon apni zindagi se. Pyaar kya hota hai jaana tha lekin aaj use mehsoon bhi kiya hai. Sujal woh jiske aane se meri zindagi me bahar aati hai aur uske jane se gum ke baadal. Main aaj tumhe kehna chahti thi ki main tumse kitna pyaar karti hoon. Lekin shayad kahin na kahin hamari khamoshi hi sab kuch keh gayi. Jis insaan ne muje ek hi din me badal diya us insaan ke saath main apni puri zindagi bitana chahti hoon. I Love you sujal......"

Woh mann hi mann muskura raha hai kashish ki aur dekhkar.

" Aaj main bahot khush hoon kyunki aaj sab kuch mere saath hai. mera pyaar, meri khushiyaan aur Sujal ka ehsaas. Woh mujse dur hai lekin phir bhi mere dil ke itne kareeb hai ki main khud nahin janti ki kab woh mere itne kareeb aa gaya. Kisi ne sach hi kaha hai ki pyaar ko parkhne ke liye ek nazar hi kafi hoti hai aur Sujal se milne ke bad aisa laga ki main use barso se janti hoon. Sujal bina kuch kahe meri her baat ko smaj jata hai. Iske naam lene se mere dil ki raftar tez ho jati hai pata nahin jab sujal se milungi to kya hoga. I love you sujal......"

Sujal khidki ke pass jakar khada hota hai aur phir se padhne lagta hai.

" Sab kehte hai ki main pagal hoti jaa rahi hoon. Haa yeh sach hi to hai ki main tumhare pyaar me pagal hoti ja rahi hoon. jaha bhi dekhti hoon. muje sirf tum hi tum sujal nazar aate ho. Sote jagte udhte bethte sirf sujal hi sujal. Ab to aisa lagta hai main apne liye nahin balke sujal ke liye jeeti hoon. Ab dil me ek hi kwahish hai ki main sujal ki dulhan banna chahti hoon. uske saath kadam se kadam badhake chalna chahti hoon. Main ek bhi pal usse durr nahin rehna chahti. Agar mere dil ki aawaz tum tak pahonch rahi hai to sujal main tumse bahot pyaar karti hoon itna pyaar karti hoon ki khud bhi nahin janti. I Love you sujal......"

"Aaj maine Sujal ko bahot miss kiya lekin miss karne ke bavjud bhi aisa laga ki woh mere aaspass hi hai. Lekin woh mere aaspaas nahin balke mere andar hai. mere dil me. Aaj Anjali ke haath me mehndi lagate waqt jo mehndi mere haath pe lati thi uska woh rang hi mere sache pyaar ka saboot hai. Aur ab to is kashish ke saath uske sujal ka naam jud gaya hai. Main janti hoon ki tum jahan bhi hoge tum muje sun sakte ho. Meri dil ki dhadkan ko mehsoos kar sakte ho kyunki main tumhe apne aap me mehsoos karti hoon. Sujal me tumse bahot pyaar karti hoon. tum ple jaldi mere pass vapas aajo na.I love you sujal........."

"Zindagi bhi ajeeb hai. Ek taraf papa hai to dusri aur mera Pyaar. Muj jaisi badnasseb is duniya main koi nahin hogi jise pyaar ke sapne to dekhne mile lekin sapno ko haqeeqat ka roop dene ka moka nahin mila. aaj muje faisa karna hai apne pyaar aur apne beti hone ke farz ke beech. Agar main apne pyaar ka saath doon to main khudgarz kahelaungi ki 23 saal tak beti hone ke farz nibhaye lekin ek hi pal main beti ne apne pita ka sir sharm se juka diya. aur agar main papa ka saath doon to apne pyaar ko kho dungi jo mere jine ka sahara hai. Kabhi koi dil dhadkan ke bina nahin reh sakta is tarah yeh kashish bhi to apne sujal ke bina nahin reh sakti. Main kya karoon apni jaan bhi nahin de sakti kyunki muje maloom hai ki sujal meri bewafai ko seh sakta hai lekin meri maut ko nahin. hey! bagwan muje kis dorahe pe lake khada kar diya hai tune. kyun kiya tune mere saath . Akhir kyun................."

Sujal kashish ka haath pakadta hai aur use pyaar se kiss karta hai.

"sab log muje galat samaj rahe hai. Per kya kabhi kisi ne yeh janne ki koshish ki ke mere dil pe kya gujar rahi hai. maine apni zindagi ki sari khushiyon ka sauda kar diya hai. Kuch bhi ho jaye sujal ple tum muje galat mat samjna kyunki jis din tum muje galat samjonge woh din meri zindagi ka aakhari din hoga. Lekin sujal jab bhi main apni aakhri sanshe le rahi hogi tab main sujal tumhari baahoin me hona chahti hoon taki main chen se is duniya se ja saku. per filhal muje yeh dard bari zindagi jini hogi. per sujal is dard bari zindagi main bhi main keh sakti hoon ki jo pal maine tumhare saath gujare woh meri zindagi ke sabse haseen pal the. I love you sujal......."

Sujal: Ab nahin kashish. tumne bahot kuch saha hai. lekin ab sirf khushiyaan hogi hamari zinadgi me. Ab tumhara sujal tumhare pass hai. Kashish tumne bahot dard seha hai lekin ab tum akeli nahin sahogi main tumhare saath hoon. tumhare her khushi main tumhre har gumm me.

Sujal dheere se ek ek karke choodiyaan kashish ko pehnata hai. woh her ek choodi pehnane ke baad kashish ke haath ko kiss karta hai aur aakhir me woh kashish ko apne gale se lagata hai.
