- SHIKAYAT - AR SS
PART 3
'Bhoot... Bhoot...'Armaan wake up in the middle of the night shouting in his sleep...
Nandini who was sleeping on his side, on the light looking at her 7years Armaan...
Still the fear was hunting him from the last year...
Yes, it been a year after Karan transfer and he was roaming around the world with his young wife leaving Nandini living her life with their two kids...
Aarushi was 9years old and Armaan was 7years old now...
Armaan always asked about Karan but Nandini tell him he went to work...
Nandini don't understand whatelse to say...
Till now Nandini couldn't found out what make Armaan feel so scared...
It was raining heavily outside that night... Its been like 10days, as the storm continue...
Nandini was doing every house work as their servant Bi was off from work as her son was sick...
The storm was breaking the silent of the night by the loud thunder...
Lighting was coming through the windows, giving the flash light in to the room...
Nandini pull Armaan head near her chest hugging him hidding...
Feeling the mother warm, Armaan hugs her tight with his eyes still closed tight...
'Mom, please mujhe bachalo... Please mom...
Woh bhoot... bhoot...
black kapde main... black... black...'Armaan keep blabbering hiding himself on Nandini...
'Shhh... Baccha, koi nehi hai...
Main hoon aapke paas... Koi bhoot nehi hai...'Nandini said caring his back and head to make him relax...
Tears form in Nandini eyes seeing his son shaking with fear... It was daily routine for her now...
Every middle of the night, Armaan wake up shouting about the 'black ghost'...
Nandini was feeling helpless and she has done everything that could be but Armaan behavior was the same...
Tears fall on to her cheeks as she press her lips not trying to let Armaan knows she was breaking inside to see her son like that...
Her heart was broken into small piece's, that if later anyone wants also it couldn't be fixed together...
No one was there to see a mother crying for her son and a son crying because of fear...
Thundering and lighting were making the silent break every 2 3 minutes...
Armaan slept after an hour, crying in Nandini arms...
Nandini hold him close to her while checking on Aarushi who was sleeping on her other side...
She closed her eyes letting the rest of the tears fall which was on her eyes already...
'Knock knock!!!' Nandini open her eyes when she hear a knock on the door...
She look at the time which was in front of the wall hanging showing it was 2am...
Nandini was wondering who might be at that time, making Armaan sleep on the bed, she went to open the door...
'Bi...'Nandini said but before she could asked anything, Bi sat down near Nandini feet holding and crying...
Seeing Bi crying so badly, Nandini got tension as she knows her son was sick...
'Kya huva Bi... Aap iswaqt yaha...
Aapko paison ki jarurat hai kiya... Aap rukho main...'Nandini try to move but Bi stop her...
'Nehi Nandini beti... Is Bi koh ab kuch nehi chahiyeh...
Bas maafi de doh... Mujhse bohot badi galati huvi hai...
Meri bhi ek bacche hone ki baad main Armaan baba ki saat jo kiya...
Please mujhe maaf kardo...'Bi said still holding Nandini leg...
'Yeh aab...'Nandini wasn't understand what Bi was saying...
Why she was blaming herself... Why she was crying...
Nandini try to make her look towards her and make her stand but Bi keep hugging her around her legs...
'Bi aap...'Nandini try to knows why she was saying that...
'Haan beti...
Aaj Armaan baba aise dar dar ke jee raha hai toh woh sirf meri wajahse hai...
Lekin maine yeh sab paison ki laalaj mein ki...
Mujhe paison ki bohot jarurat ti... Apni bete ke liyeh lekin bhagwaan ne jo galati maine ki, uski saza meri bete koh de diya...
Woh use apne paas bhula liya... Woh ab isdhuniya mein nehi rahi beti... Woh hamesha hamesha ke liyeh mujhe chodke chala gaya...'Bi said crying...
Nandini who was crying before Bi came, again got tears hearing this...
But she wasn't understand one thing, why Bi was blaming herself saying about Armaan condition...
'Bi, aap andar chalo...' Nandini said at last making her away from her and taking her inside...
Nandini took Bi inside the room closing the door...
Making Bi sit down, she gave her water to which she refuse...
'Nehi beti...
Ab main yaha se kuch nehi le sakti...
Tab tak nehi jab tak tum mujhe maafi nehi dete...'Bi said...
'Kis baat ki maafi Bi...'Nandini said as she kept the glass...
Bi look towards Nandini and look towards Armaan who was sleeping on the bed with Aarshu on his other side...
Bi again look at Nandini with tears in her eyes and bow her head...
'Armaan baba koh khaale(black) kapde pehen ke maine hi dara ya ta...' Bi said...
Nandini didn't know what to say, she feels like that someone had put knife on her heart...
Nandini was sitting like a statue staring at Armaan who sleeping peacefully...
Bi again sit on the floor holding Nandini legs...
'Mujhe maaf kardo Beti...
Main jaanti hoon bohot galat kiya maine Armaan ki saat..
lekin main yeh sab apne bete ke liyeh kiya...'Bi said...
'Kiski kehne pe kiya aapne...'Nandini asked not moving her eyes from Armaan...
'Wohh...'Bi try to say but stop as she was not getting the gut...
'Kisne kaha aapko yeh sab karne ke liyeh...' Nandini asked again but her voice was still soft...
'Karan...'Nandini look towards Bi as it been a year that no one took his name infront of him...
'Galat mat samajhna beti...
Karan ne nehi, Uski dusri biwi ne Ananya ne kaha mujhe yeh sab karne koh...' Bi said completing her sentence before Nandini misunderstood...
Nandini didn't understand what to say...
From the day Ananya has come to her house, she never behave badly with her...
But she always want Karan to give her the happiness she deserve...
After how Nandini behave with her, she took her husband and father of her children away from them...
Before that, she played the dirty gave with the son of the Mallik house... But why, Armaan didn't do anything to her, neither her nor anyone in the house..
Then why she did it with her son...
Nandini was lost in her thought when Bi shake her...
'Beti...'Bi said as she hold her from shoulder...
Nandini look towards Bi not understand why all this happen with her and her kids...
'Maine aisa kiya kardi bhagwaan ne mujhe aur mere bacchon ki saat aise kar rahe ho...
Pehle us aurat ne mere pati koh mujhse cheen li...
Aur jaate jaate mere Armaan koh aise bana diya...'Nandini said as tears fall from her eyes...
'Use jalan hoti ti tumse aur tumhare bacchon se...
Karan Armaan se kitna pyar karte hai yeh hum sab jaante hai...
Aur woh tumhe bohot chaahte hai...
Usne aisa kiya taki tum Armaan koh apne pura time de aur woh Karan koh apne paas hamesha ke liyeh rakhe...'Bi said...
Nandini was sitting like a lifeless person...
No expression on her face, not blinking her eyes but tears were falling continuously from her eyes...
'Mujhe maaf kardo beti...
Bhagwaan ne mujhse meri bete toh le li...
Ab main apni galati koh sudarna chaahti hoon beti... Please mujhe ek moka doh...' Bi said again crying...
'Bi, Maaf karna, saza dena uparwale ke haat main hota hai...
Lekin phir bhi aap koh jo aapne kiya uski sach main pachwada hai toh tik hai...
Aap mere saat Armaan koh sambhalenge...
Aap apni bete ke tarah Armaan koh tik karne main meri madad karenge...' Nandini said...
'Shukriya beti... Bohot bohot shukriya...
Main apni tarafse puri koshish karungi... Pehle wale Armaan koh waapas laane ke liyeh jo pure ghar pe apne harkat se sab koh khush karti hai...' Bi said...
That was the 'black ghost' Armaan was seeing...
It was Bi who was under the black cloth to scared Armaan every day when Armaan get alone while playing around the house...
With help of Bi, Nandini make Armaan forget the incident...
Bi never leave Armaan for a minute while Nandini do other work around the house...
Months Past, Years Past...
Armaan turn to 25years Handsome guy...
Still the past years, Karan didn't come back home once... But he always send letters to Armaan by post and it was Armaan who knows his whereabouts...
Armaan always wants to meet Karan for once but Karan always keep making some excuse or other...
Nandini knows Armaan was in touch with Karan but she never stop him knowing how much Armaan loves Karan...
On the other hand Aarushi got married 2years ago and was living with her husband now...
Armaan has been studying and he just finished his university this year topping from the whole university...
Armaan was always a bright student from 10years...
Everyone was happy, as he started to be around freely in the house like before...
With so much affect of Nandini and Bi, he has forgotten about the incident...
Today, Nandini was very happy because her son has top in his university... She was waiting for Armaan who just call few minutes ago informing her about his result...
'Mom...'Nandini turn around to see Armaan standing with a huge smile on his face flashing the dimple on his both cheeks...
Nandini just couldn't control herself, so she took her in to mother hug caring his back...
She move out from the hug cupping his face on her palm and kiss all over his face showering all the love over him...
Armaan smile got wide feeling the love which Nandini was expressing through all those kisses...
'Mom..'He call Nandini as she was not ending the kisses...
'I m so proud of u Armaan...' Nandini said...
'I know Mom... Maine itna accha kiya hai, toh gift toh banta haina...' Armaan said...
Nandini smile hearing him... He always used to take gifts from Nandini every year when he top...
Seeing still Armaan act like a kid, Nandini ruffle his hair...
'Tck... Mom...' Armaan said moving towards the mirror and making his hair with his hand...
'Badmaash... Ab batao, kiya chahiyeh meri bete koh...'Nandini asked looking at her son who has turn to a handsome and dashing guy...
Nandini remember how he used to tell her everyday after coming from collage and university, that how girls try to make friendship and try to flirt him...
Nandini can't disagree with the girls as her son surely look dashing and hot that any girls will want to be his life partner...
His well built body and blue eyes which make every girl go die on the spot...
'Woh Mom...'Armaan turn around looking at her...
Nandini look at him with her one brow up asking what was going on, on his brain...
Armaan came and stand in front of Nandini, he took her hand and pull it towards to his heart holding it tight...
Nandini was confused as he haven't been acting like this before...
Nandini wants Armaan to let the beans out... Seeing the questions, Armaan let out a relief breathe...
'Mom, woh main...'Armaan stop looking at Nandini eyes before continuing, 'Woh, Mujhe papa se milna hai...'
Hearing Armaan demand, Nandini keep looking without any expression... Seeing the blank on her eyes, Armaan tight his grip on Nandini hand...
'Mom, Main jaanti hoon bohot saal se maine use dekha nehi...
Lekin Mom, isbaar papa ne bhi haan kaha...
Main uske saat bas ek din bitana chaahta hoon Mom...'Armaan said looking at Nandini eyes...
'Lekin Armaan...' Nandini didn't understand what to say...
From the past years, Armaan has been sending letters to him and Karan has been sending letters to him...
She knows from Armaan that now Karan got two children for Ananya, two boys...
But that wasn't the thing which was she afraid of...
What will happen if Ananya come to know it, She might try to harm Armaan again...
'Mom, aap bilkul chinta mat karo...
Main ek din Papa ki saat rahungi... Aur Papa ne kaha woh Ananya aunty aur uske bacche koh yeh baat pata chalne nehi denge...' Armaan said...
'Kiya tumhare Papa tumse milne aayenge...'Nandini asked seeing how much Armaan wants to meet his father...
Nandini didn't feel to say no to his happiness...
He never asked Nandini to give permission before, but for the first time from years he was asking to let him go to meet for once to his father...
Nandini don't want Armaan to get hurt knowing he would break down if Karan didn't come to meet him...
So before giving permission, She wants to make sure that Karan is surly coming or not to meet him...
'Papa ne pehle kabhi milne ki baat ki toh haan nehi kaha Mom...
Lekin isbaar, jab maine kaha toh bina soche Papa ne haan kehdi...
Mom, mujhe yakeen hai woh jarur aayenge...
Bas ek baar mujhe papa se milna hai... Hug karna hai plzzz...' Armaan said...
Seeing how much Armaan wants, Nandini just nodded her head...
Armaan was on cloud nine when Nandini gave permission to him... He hugs her tight and kiss her cheek before leaving the room saying he was going to send a letter to his father that he is going to meet him...
Nandini keep staring at the door looking Armaan back faded long before...
'Please god, don't hurt him again...' Nandini said joining her hands and looking up towards the ceiling...
A WEEK LATER
Armaan was traveling by train... After years of waiting, he was at last going to meet his father...
He would see his father after years... His heart was dancing with happiness...
He keeps looking outside the train, as smile was on his face showing how much happy he was today...
His waiting came to an end as the train start slowing down... Armaan got his bag on his back and move to get down looking here n there to search the familiar face his eyes was desparately waiting for...
Hourse of wait didn't come to an end... Armaan don't know the exact address of his father nor he could contact him knowing his father would be home as it was Sunday...
It was so cold out there, Armaan keep sitting on a bench rubbing his hands with each other...
His heart keeping telling him that his father would definitely come...
In day time he wait in sunny, in night he wait in cold... For once, he didn't let the feeling take over that his father wouldn't come, he keeps thinking positive but...
As the sun drown and rise, for once his father didn't show up...
Now it was time for him to leave... He was thinking all the way back to home why his father didn't come to meet him...
From the past years, he just ask for a day time to spend with his father...
Does his father Love him or not...
Does he father want to meet him or not...
Does his father want to hurt and give pain forever...
Un answer questions were roaming around his mind...
He return back home with a sad face... His hair was a mess, his eyes were red due the crying from last three hours...
He was wishing that no one asked him any question... Specially his mother...
To his surprise, no one was there to be seen...
So he make his way to his room but stop hearing his name...
'Armaan kaise yeh baat sunke apne aapko sambhalenge...' It was Rohit voice...
Everyone was gether in the hall as they got a shock news...
Nandini was standing not knowing how to react...
Others were talking to go to see Karan for the last time... Whereas one thing was disturbing all...
How Armaan would react...
'Mujhe nehi lagta abhi Armaan koh batana chahiyeh yeh baat Papa...' Tushar said...
'Lekin hum kab tak chupaenge... Woh kitna khush ta woh Apne Papa se itni saal baad milne gaye lekin achanak yeh...' Archana said...
'Haan, abhi time kiya huva...
Armaan koh aane ka time hogaya na...' Rohit said...
Nandini who was in shocked look at the big clock which was hanging on the wall...
Seeing the time, she run out to see if Armaan has come back or not...
She didn't need to go further as she felt he was around...
She look around to see Armaan standing with her back touching the wall and his eyes were closed...
Seeing him like that, Nandini understand that Armaan heard everything...
She was feeling shaken to see him standing like that...
Nandini move slowly towards him placing a hand on his shoulder she call his name, 'Armaan...'
Armaan open his eyes hearing his mother eyes...
but what Nandini saw in his eyes, she felt that she skip a beat...
Innocent in his eyes, dreamy smile on his lips...
