Chapter-6'I hate you Dr. Ashutosh! From now on! I ha..te.. U.'
With much efforts, Nidhi tried 2 complete her sentence, because her throat clogged up & she broke down crying.
A:'Nidhi, I'm sorry.I didn't want 2 hurt you. Bas isiliye nahi bataya.'
N:'And in the mean while kept hurting me, by not telling.'
A:'Kya? Matlab?'
N:'I hate you for not telling me earlier.
I hate you for making me wait For so long.
I hate you for making me go off to Delhi for years & not contacting once...
I hate you for letting me got married to someone else.
I hate you for keeping all this to you till now & not even hinted, what was in your heart.
Hadn't it been me, pressurising you so much, you would have made me die, without knowing d truth.'
Ashutosh immidiately came near her & covered her mouth with his palm.
A:'No Nidhi! Don't you utter those words again. I'm dying millions of deaths, since I've come up here, seeing you in dis condition. I don't have the courage to see you again in that pathetic state.
U don't have any idea, hadn't I had a sane brain n my head, I would have, absolutely, with no chance left, rite away killed Jagan. Let alone he being adoptive, had he been my blood, my own real bro, I would have done, I know what.'
N:'Ye sab batane mei aapne itni deir kyu kar di Dr. Ashutosh? Maine apka kitna intezaar kiya. Socha tha, Delhi se aakar aapse iss baare mein baat karungi... Phir maa-baba, Jagan se rishta lekar aaye, shaadi tak aapne bhi objection raise nahi kia, to laga, shayad aapke dil mei aisa kuch nahi hai.Ye shayad ek tarfa pyar tha.'
A:'Matlab..Ke..Tum..Tum bhi..Mujhse?'
N:'Yes Dr. Ashutosh, I loved & still I love you... Loved you since my MBBS days. But thought it to b an infatuation, but things were turning out to b real during my internship days.It was hard to defy d fact, that its love. It was,Truly, Purely, love..'
(During all this, Ashu hd his mouth open, in a surprisd state.. As if, its unbelievable.)
N: 'Dr. Ashutosh, aap aise stabdh kyu hain, kuch toh boliye..'
A: 'Tumare dil mein itna kuch tha, aur mujhe pata bhi nahi chala. U had always been mine, phir bhi, iss baat ka ehsaas hi nahi hua. Nidhi, I can't tell u, how happy I am. You've made me the happiest man ever.'
(And he opened up his arms. In full invitation to her to come in them. She readily went in & rested her head on his chest & hand on his heart. Ashu immidiately enfolded her, giving a relieved sigh. Happy tears escaping d corner of their eyes. There was a peaceful silence, when, Nidhi spoke)
N: 'Dr. Ashutosh, aapki zindagi mein itna kuch hua, phir aapko mujhse pyar tha & all that, phir bhi aapne meri shaadi Jagan se hone di. Mujhe khud se door jaane diya. Kabhi meri taraf palat ke nahi dekha. Kyu? Kyu jane diya aapne? Aur aapki zindagi ki baatein, aapne ek best friend ki tarah hi sahi, kabhi nahi bataayi?'
A: 'Nidhi, jab Shivika wali baat hui, tum yahan thi nahi, uss incident ne mujhe & mere ego ko bohot hurt kar diya tha. Tumhe sab malum toh hai. Main bas kisi tarah usey 1 bura sapna samajh k bhool jaana chahta tha. Isliye uska zikr kabhi karta nahi tha. Aur tumko bata kar bhi main kya kar leta, isliye kuch kaha nahi.
Jahan tak baat tumhe confess karne ki hai, wo maine isliye nahi kiya, coz pehle tum padhai kar rahi thi, main tumhe, tumhare aim se distract nahi karna chahta tha, isliye tumhe hint nahi kiya, socha tha, tum Delhi se jab wapas aaogi, tab hi tumhe propose kar doonga, but during this, Shivika wala case ho gaya, n maine ladies mein interest lena chod diya, main tumhari baat maa se karne wala tha, ke unhone Jagan ke liye ladki pasand kar li, and maine as usual, koi interest nahi liya. Seedhe tumse shaadi k din mila, toh mere hosh udd gaye. Tumhare & mere ghar waalo ka mazaak na ban jaaye, is liye chup reh gaya. Lekin agar pata hota, ke wo aisa kuch karega tumhare saath, toh ye main hargiz nahi hone deta. Phir yaha tum aisi haalat mein thi, ke tum males apne aas-paas bhi nahi chahti thi, to tumhe na batana hi sahi samjha, thats why...'
Unknown to them, maa- baba were standing at the door, having tears in their eyes. When Ashni saw them, they sprang apart. Maa & Baba came in & put their hands on their heads as blessings.
Sudha: 'Ashu, tuney ek baar b kaha hota, toh humne teri shadi Nidhi se kab ki karwa di hoti. Itna kuch hota hi ni. Chalo, ab koi baat nahi... Main Nidhi ke baba & DB se iss baare mein baat krungi... Bhagwan ne chaaha, toh tum dono ki jodi, ban hi jaayegi.'
Saying this, Maa & Baba went out, leaving AshNi alone. After few moments of standing in silence, not knowing, wt else to say, Ashu, smiled, n was about to leave, when Nidhi quickly, grabbed his arm. Ashu looked at her lovingly, when she spoke, 'Dr. Ashutosh, ek baar phir se..' Ashutosh lovingly looked at her & cupped her face, kissed her forehead & said- ''I love u Nidhi... Very-Very much...''
Soon after the lunch she went 4 her therapy, n got busy anyhow, even after, the dinner, she put her earphones in her ears & smilingly, went off. Next morning too, she didn't talk to Ashu, although he wanting to...Finally, out of irritation, he took off the earphones & said-
'Kya sunn rahi ho jab se, kitni baar baat karna chah raha hoon...'
And he put it in his ears... A cute smile crept on his lips... She had recorded hi 'I LOVE YOU' and was hearing it...
A: 'Tumhe dubaara sunna tha toh keh deti, baar-baar bol deta...'
They were interupted by Sudha: 'Ashu, Nidhi ki DB se baat hui, unhone hum sab ko India bulaya hai...'
