Part 10
Next morning while he was getting ready to leave for the hospital, his phone buzzed and he immediately went to receive it as he thought there might be some emergency case for which he might be needed. But to his surprise the call wasn't from the hospital. It was from a number he least expected...Nidhi's residence. Maybe CV is not in the best of his health...he thought and picked up the call.
Ashu: hello...
No reply from the other side...he again said "hello... hello Nidhi...
CV: hel..hello... main baat kar raha hu...
Ashu: haanji kahiye...kya baat hai? Aapki health to theek hai? Koi problem to nahi hai? Nidhi...wo theek hai na? (his fear was eveident in his voice as he was worried for her)
CV: nahi hum sab theek hain... wo main... wo main...
Ashu: haan kahiye... kya baat hai?
CV: main aap se ek baar milna chahta hu...
Ashu: to theek hai aap hospital aa jaiye...
CV: hospital nahi... wo main aapse akele mein milna chahta hu...
Ashu: kya baat hai CV? Is everything ok...
CV: kya hum aapke ghar par mil sakte hain?
Ashu(surprised): ghar pe? Theek hai...aaj sham ko 7 baje aap mere ghar pe aa jaiye...
CV: theek hai...main sham ko milta hu aap se...
Ashu was so surprised...why does he want to meet me now? What is it that he wants from me... Does he want to talk about Nidhi? Or ... Aman... he thought. He had no answers to these questions and he left for the hospital and leave everything to be revealed at its own pace. His patients were a priority at present and he couldn't ever ignore them. He got busy in his daily work but in between his mind drifted towards the upcoming meeting in the evening.
There CV was getting more and more apprehensive as the time was approaching...what would he say there and how? He had no clue... if Nidhi comes to know...how would she react? Shall I tell Bua?...no...not now... what would Dr Ashutosh think and how would he react? He kept on thinking about the meeting the whole day while Nidhi couldn't understand why was he so upset?
Nidhi: Baba aap kuchh pareshan hain?
CV: nahi to...wo mujhe sham ko kisi se milne jaana hai...bas usi ke bare mein soch raha tha...
Nidhi: kahan jaana hai? Aap kal hi hospital se aaye hain...main aapko kahin nahi jaane dungi... apni health ka to sochiye...
CV: main bilkul theek hu...mujhe kuchh nahi hoga... mujhe sham ko kisi se zaroori milna hai...
Nidhi: to theek hai main bhi aapke saath chalungi...aapko akela nahi jaane de sakti...
CV: nahi...tu nahi ...main akela hi jaaunga...
Nidhi: aisa aapko kis se milna hai jo main nahi jaa sakti...
CV: mera koi purana jaankar hai...use kuchh matters clear karne hain... main akele hi jaaunga...
Nidhi: theek hai par aap cab se jayenge...theek hai...aur time se wapas aa jayenge...bahut late nahi karna... mujhe aapki chinta rahegi...
CV agreed to this and was relieved that Nidhi agreed on letting him go alone... if she was his previous princess, she would have never done so... She had changed so much and all this was making him uncomfortable. That's why he had to meet him... he got ready on time and reached his home. Ashu wasn't still there and he called him up to tell that he was there. Ashu told him that he was stuck up with some work at hospital but he would be there in few minutes as he already was on his way back. Few minutes later Ashu arrived and he apologized for CV having to wait for him. He opened the door and both of them entered inside. Ashu asked him to be seated and he went inside to make tea for him. CV sat in the drawing room and he was looking around as this was the first time he had entered inside his house.
The sight in the drawing room made him so emotional... there was a small temple in the drawing room and the Ganpati idol inside that temple was the same as was there at their place...immediately he recognized that it must have been gifted to him by Nidhi. He got up and went close to the temple...he prayed for strength at heart to talk to him. His eyes became moist at the thought of his smiling daughter who was nowhere to be seen now. By that time Ashu had arrived and he asked him to have tea. CV came and sat with him and hesitantly had few sips of tea he prepared.
Ashu: aap bataiye kaise aana hua? Aisi kya baat hai jo aap mujhse milna chahte the?
CV: wo main ... Yeh Ganpati...
Ashu: yeh mujhe kisi apne ne diye the... ki main inhe humesha apne paas rakhu... aap batiye aap kya keh rahe the
CV: Nidhi ke bare mein aap se baat karni thi...
Ashu: haan mujhe pata chala... Ki uski engagement ho gayi hai... Balki doosre shabdon mein aapne kara di hai... aur jab mujhe Aman se pata chala tha... Main tab hi samajh gaya tha ki yeh sab aapki meherbaani hai...
CV: mere paas aur koi raasta hi nahi tha... ek majboor baap jo...jo apni beti ki khushi chahta hai...
Ashu (interrupting him): to wo ab khush hai? ... (pausing for a few seconds) bataiye...khush hai na wo... agar wo khush hoti to aap yahan mujhse milne nahi aate ...bahut acche se jaanta hu main apni Nidhi ko...
CV (slightly anxious): aapki Nidhi?
Ashu: hmm meri Nidhi... wo kya hai na CV... aap use meri zindagi se door kar sakte hain...mere dil se nahi... aur na hi wo mujhe apne dil se door kar payegi...aap maane ya na mane isse fark padta hai? Aap chahe uski shaadi kisi se bhi kara de... Wo humesha mere dil mein rahegi... chahe sirf ek yaad banker...
CV: aap aisa kyun kar rahe hain ?
Ashu: maine kahan kuchh kiya CV? Abhi tak to job hi kiya aap ne hi kiya hai... Hum dono to aap ki ichha ka maan hi rakh rahe hain na... chahe uske liye hume kitni hi takleef kyun na ho...
CV: kya aap samajh sakte hain ki maine aisa kyun kiya? Uske liye main kitni takleef se guzar raha hu? Kyun main aap dono ki nazar mein gunehgaar ban gaya? Kyun main har pal yeh dekhte huye bhi ki meri beti zindagi se door hoti jaa rahi hai ...main chup hu... kya aap kabhi ek pita ke jazbaat samajh sakte hain? Jo sirf yeh chahta hai ki uski beti ko jeevan ki saari khushiyan mile... Use samaj ke taano ka saamna na karna pade... use ek bahut pyar karne wala jeevan saathi mile jo use samjhe... kya samaj aise rishton ko sweekar karta hai? Nahi... to main kaise apni beti ko...
Ashu(interrupting again): to aaj aapka samaj khush hai... kya wo aapke saath hai... Jab aapki beti zindagi se door jaa rahi hai...kya wo samaj use wapas laa raha hai? Samaj ne aaj tak kisi ko kuchh nahi diya CV... wo to sirf sab ki zindagi mein toofan laa sakta hai...us toofan se saamna karna nahi sikhata...chahe uske liye kitni hi zindagiyan kyun na barbaad ho jayen... Aur kabhi aapne yeh socha hai ki agar Aman ko yeh sab pata chala to uspar kya beetegi? Kya aap ek aur galti nahi kar rahe?
CV: jaanta hu main...ki main use na bata kar galti kar raha hu... par kaise bataaun yeh sab? Kya sach jaanne ke baad wo Nidhi se shaadi karega? Kya wo use aur mujhe maaf kar payega? Main ek aise do raahe par khada hu jahan mujhe yeh pata hai ki meri dono taraf se hi haar hai... Agar main use sab bata deta hu to wo waise hi is shaadi se inkaar kar dega aur agar nahi batata...to meri beti zindagi bhar ek darr ke saaye mein jiyegi... kya karu main mujhe kuchh samajh nahi aa raha...
Ashu: to aap mujhse kya chahte hain? Main abhi tak yeh nahi samajh paa raha hu ki aap aaj mujhse milne kyun aaye hain? Agar aapko yeh darr hai ki main Aman ko sab bata dunga...to yeh darr aap apne mann se nikaal dijiye...main vaada karta hu ki main use kuchh nahi bataaunga... Aur bataiye...main aapki aur kaise madad kar sakta hu...
CV: main to bas apni beti ki khushi chahta hu... wo khushi jo usse koson door hai... main nahi jaanta ki kya sahi hai kya galat... Bas main itna hi jaanta hu ki mere liye uski khushi se badkar kuchh nahi hai... main use ek aise insaan se pyar karne ki saza kaat te huye nahi dekh sakta jiski wajah se poora samaj use buri nazron se dekhe... main jaanta hu ki wo aap se bahut pyar karti hai par ek din aayega jab wo Aman se pyar karegi... Aapki yaadein uske dil se bhi door chali jayengi...
Ashu: agar aapko itna vishwas hai to aap yahan kis liye aaye hain CV? Fir to aapko apni beti ki shaadi ki tayyari mein busy hona chahiye tha... maine to aap se koi explanation nahi maangi thi...fir kyun aap apna time mere saath waste kar rahe hain... in bekaar ki baton par jab aapne sab decide kar hi liya hai... jab aapko apne faisle par itna bharosa hai...
CV: jaanta hu... sab jaanta hu... par main apne mann ka kya karu jo mujhe har pal ek gunah ka ehsaas karata hai... jisne mujhe apni beti ki nazron mein gira diya... jiski khamoshi na jaane har pal mujhse kitne sawaal karti hai...unme se ek bhi sawaal ka mere paas koi jawab nahi... main aapke paas apni beti ki khushiyan maangne aaya hu... (tears rolled down his cheeks)
Ashu: to uske liye main kya kar sakta hu?
CV: aap use kahiye ki wo apne dil se aapki yaadon ko nikal fenke... bhool jaye aap ko... apne jeevan mein aage bade...aur...
Ashu: yaadein koi kaagaz ka tukda hai jo utha kar bahar fenk diya jaye? Yaadein to wo anmol tohfa hai jise sambhal kar rakha jaata hai... Jo aapke akelepan mein aapka saath deti hai... aapke jeene ka sahara hoti hain...
CV: lekin agar wo hi yaadein kisi ki raah ke kaantein bann jayen to?
Ashu: wo to apni apni soch hai CV? Kya pata jise aap uski raah ka kaanta samajh rahe hain wo uski sab se badi taakat ho...kya pata wo inhi yaadon ke sahare jee rahi ho... kya pata agar yeh yaadein na hoti to aap apni beti ko kab ka kho chuke hote? Kya pata agar yeh yaadein yeh vaade na hote to aaj uski engagement bhi nahi hui hoti? Aur kya pata agar yeh yaadein na hoti to aaj aap mere saamne na baithe hote... Yaadon ka mahatva samajhiye CV... In yaadon ne hi aapki beti ko aapke paas rakha hai...
CV: wo mere paas hote huye bhi mujhse kitni door hai...
Ashu: aur mujhse door hote huye bhi kitni paas... Yaadein hoti hi aisi hain...
CV: aap Nidhi ke jeevan mein aaye hi kyun? Kyun pyar kiya usse? Aapki wajah se aaj meri beti har pal zindagi ki jung lad rahi hai...
Ashu: kisi se milna ya bichhadna to kismat ke haath hai... aur pyar...kiya nahi jaata bas ho jaata hai...hum dono ne ek doosre se pyar kiya...lekin pyar to kisi niyam kanoon ko kahan manta hai... wo to ek aisi taakat hai jiske sahare aaj hum dono aapki khushi ke liye ek doosre se door hain...warna kisi mein itna dum nahi tha ki mujhse use door kar sake... par sirf ek aapke liye usne aur maine apni saari khushiyan kurbaan kar di...aur jo aap samaj ki baat kar rahe the na... samaj se ladne ki honsla bhi yehi pyar deta hai... khair chhodiye aap nahi samjhenge...
CV: to aap meri madad nahi karenge?
Ashu: I'm sorry CV...jitni madad main aapki kar sakta tha main kar chuka... main aapse vaada kar chuka hu ki main Aman ko kuchh nahi bataaunga lekin Nidhi ko yeh main nahi keh paaunga ki wo apni yaadon ko apne dil se nikaal de...kyunki main already usse bahut kuchh maang chuka hu jiski wajah se aaj wo is haal mein hai... main use aur takleef nahi de sakta...wo bahut takleef mein hai CV...ho sake to uski takleef ko samajhne ki koshish kijiye... aur use kam nahi kar sakte to use badaiye mat...please...I request you...
CV: aur aap meri takleef nahi samajh sakte... agar aapki beti hoti to shayad aap samajh paate...
Ashu: agar... Agar CV...agar... magar thanks to you yeh agar kabhi sach nahi ho sakta...
CV: lekin...
He was about to continue when Ashu's phone rang and he had to stop...
Ashu: haan bataiye... He heard someone talk from the other side and immediately got up to leave.
Ashu: sorry CV...mujhe urgently abhi jaana padega... Kisi ko meri zaroorat hai... I'm sorry agar main aapki isse zyada help nahi kar sakta... is matter mein...iske alava aap ko kabhi meri zaroorat ho to main yahin hu... aur haan aap ko apne follow up ke liye regularly hospital aana hoga... ok... in sab baton ka ek doctor patient relationship se koi lena dena nahi hai... mere liye aap ab bhi mere patient hain and aapki health ki responsibility mujhpar hai... Now I got to leave...its really urgent...
CV too left from there feeling dejected... but one thing he became sure of... That he loved Nidhi a lot... and he too is suffering without her...he felt so guilty for taking them apart...he would never be able to forgive himself...but for Nidhi...he was ready to face everything.
Teri yaadon ke sahare hum saari zindagi guzaar denge
Tujhse door sahi par yaadon ko khud se door jaane nahi denge
