Hi...Nidhi landed in some isolated area???? 😕
Part 14
It was raining heavily and Nidhi realized that this is not the place where she was supposed to go...she was going to the temple but now... she found herself outside Ashu's house... A place her heart wanted to stay forever...that could have been the temple where she found all her peace of mind and happiness...only if destiny and her Baba agreed to this relationship. But things couldn't change and she can't even think of ever staying here with her love...but why has she come here unintentionally when today morning itself she had met him and he had refused to accept her wishes. Maybe her heart longs to be with him that's why she has come here...she thought. With all such thoughts in her mind along with her own dilemma and Aman and Ashu's situation and she considering herself responsible for all that...she moved out of the car with a heavy heart.
The rain drops poured down on her and she recalled her happy moments with Ashu once again...how they enjoyed these showers together...how these were the witness to their love...their intense feelings for each other. But today they are witnessing the separation of two people who are meant to be together...who are made for each other...and she isn't able to do anything for themselves...as if the rains were teasing her for being a coward...who has lost her battle without even trying to fight. Tears rolled down her face with these thoughts as she stood outside his house...not being able to decide whether she should go inside or back to her car...her feet stuck to that place where she stood and she couldn't move a step further. She didn't know what to do as her heart was in a constant tussle with her mind...she stood there with her silent tears.
Ashu who came to the window to feel the rains as he too couldn't part with those fond memories of their times together and how the rains had played such an important role in their love story. He stood there when he saw Nidhi standing outside in the lawns. "Nidhi yahan kaise ho sakti hai...zaroor mera koi waham hai...he thought. He patted his forehead slightly to bring himself out of his thoughts and looked outside once again...she still was standing there...matlab...Nidhi...yahan...aise?... he rushed outside with an umbrella in his hand. He went to her and saw her in tears...he called her name but she didn't respond... He called her out twice but when he got no response, he slightly jolted her and asked her...Nidhi kya baat hai tum yahan baarish mein kyun khadi ho? Chalo andar chalo... Nidhi didn't move even a single step...he again asked her to come inside she just replied in a single line... andar aane ka mera koi adhikar nahi hai na... Ashu couldn't make out what made her come here but he felt sorry to see her like this and angry both at the same time as he could never see her torturing herself like this...yeh tum kaisi baat kar rahi ho? Aise yahan bheegti rahi to pakka beemar pad jaaogi... Chalo andar chalo.
When she didn't follow him, he held her hand and pulled her inside and she kept on resisting... But she would never succeed against him especially when its about her safety. He took her inside and scolded her... yeh kya kar rahi thi tum...beemar pad jaati to...aise koi karta hai kya? Agar tumhe kuchh ho jaata to? Nidhi kept on crying and she couldn't control her emotions at this moment as she was never able to hide what she was going through in front of him... to achha hi hota... main sab ki pareshani ki wajah ban gayi hu...kisi ko khushi nahi de sakti main...na Baba ko...na aapko...na Aman ko...sab pareshan hain...meri wajah se...bahut buri hu main...main kuchh nahi kar sakti kisi ke liye... "and she burst out in tears. Ashu first got a towel for her to dry herself...but she didn't take it from him and he himself started to dry her hair... Kya hua hai Nidhi ...tum itni kamzor kaise pad gayi ho? Tum to itni strong ho...meri Nidhi aise nahi haar sakti... he kept on wiping her face..hands etc and she wasn't in her control today...she snatched the towel from him and gave him a look which made him weak...he could never see her like this...haar gayi hu main... sab kuchh bigaad diya maine... Main kisi ko khushi nahi de payi... Sab kuchh haathon se fisal raha hai...main jaise paani ko apne haathon mein pakadne ki nakamyab koshish kar rahi hu... Yeh ehsaas mujhe chain se jeene nahi deta...raat bhar jaagti rehti hu...sochti rehti hu ki kaise sab theek ho jaye...lekin kuchh theek nahi hota...aap ko kaha lekin aap ne bhi mana kar diya...ab main kya karu? Kahan jaaun? Kisse madad maangu? Koi raasta nazar nahi aata...meri help kijiye please...koi raasta to nikaliye... and she hugged him and poured out all her grief through her tears after a long time. He wrapped his arms around her and made her feel safe and secure in his arms...he moved his hands lovingly on her head and few moments later he made her sit down.
She was still sobbing and Ashu placed his hand on her shoulder and asked her to calm down...tum pehle rona band karo please...main tumhe rota hua nahi dekh sakta...please Nidhi... dekho kuchh cheezein humare haath mein nahi hoti... Unhe Bhagwan ke haath mein chhod dena chahiye...tumhi ne mujhe yeh sikhaya tha ...aur apni seekh khud hi bhool gayi... ". He held her hands in his and with all the love in his eyes and the warmth of his hands...she felt a sense of relief go through her entire self...she regained her composure and she stopped crying and wiped her tears. "to main kya karu aap hi bataao... yahan aap pareshan hain aur wahan Aman sab kuchh jaanna chahte hain...main kaise sab kuchh unhe bataaun... is sab mein unki kya galti hai... unki zindagi main kharab kar rahi hu... She said. " galti to tumhari ya meri bhi nahi hai...hai na... galti to humari kismat ki hai jo hume saath dekhna nahi chahti... tum pareshan mat ho...koi na koi raasta zaroor nikal aayega...agar humari kismat mein saath rehna hai to hume koi alag nahi kar sakta...aur agar nahi to bhi hum kuchh nahi kar sakte...he replied. "Lekin Aman...she asked again.
Ashu thought for a moment and replied...wo bhi to apni kismat likhwa kar aaya hai...hai na... dekho yeh jo raaste pe hum sab chal rahe hain...ise humne apne liye nahi chuna hai... Lekin hum is raaste pe chalne ke liye majboor hain...to aise himmat haarne se kaise manzil milegi... hume har cheez ka saamna himmat se karna hoga...aur pyar to insaan ko himmmat deta hai...kamzor nahi banata...humara pyaar hi humari taakat hai ...hai na... she looked at him and slightly nodded in agreement. " yeh hai meri Nidhi...jo kisi se nahi darti...yaad hai tum kabhi mujhse nahi darti thi...jab poora hospital mujhse darta tha...to ab ... he tried to make it lighter for her. She had a smile on her face recalling their initial interactions in the hospital...how she followed her heart without being scared of the strict Dean.
He took her inside and said...yeh Aarti ka room hai...wo Nidhi ke saath market gayi thi...uska phone aaya tha ki baarish hai to wo kahin ruki hui hai...rukne pe aa jayenge... tum unke kapdon mein se koi dekh lo aur change kar lo...warna sardi lag jayegi... main tumhare liye chai banakar laata hu tab tak. He went towards the kitchen and she changed her wet clothes and sat there only. She felt a new strength inside her...which was lost somewhere long back...and today just being with him gave her the moral support which she was searching for...now she understood what made her come to his home when she was going to the temple in search of peace of mind... even temple wouldn't have been able to do this for her which his presence could...she was thankful to him at heart for supporting her everytime she needed him.
Ashu came there with tea and found her asleep...he could read her face and understood that she was sleeping peacefully after a long time...he covered her with a blanket and stood there looking at her...he felt so sorry for all what she is going through...he himself had no answer to all the questions which were crowding their hearts time and again...but he was relieved to see her slightly composed now. He went out and kept on thinking about any possible solution to their dilemma...soon the rains stopped and some time later Aarti returned with Nidhi(J) and Ashu told her about Nidhi. She too felt bad for both of them but she too had no answer to their problems but she offered to help in any possible way. Ashu thanked her for supporting him but he told her that he too had no clue whatsoever. Ashu receieved a call from the hospital and he had to leave for some emergency case. He told Aarti to take care of Nidhi once she wakes up and she promised that she would take good care of her.
Nidhi woke up after around two hours and found Nidhi (J) sitting close to her...she smiled to see her awake...aap yahan kyun baithe ho? she asked. " Mumma ne kaha ki yahan baithkar aapka dhyan rakhu... aap wait karo main abhi aayi...she replied and went running outside. Soon she returned with her Mom who had brought some snacks and milk for her. Though Nidhi didn't want to have anything but Nidhi (J) insisted that she would have something only if she too agreed to feed herself. She had to agree for the sake of that little girl and after their meal Aarti sent Nidhi (J) out of the room to complete her drawing and show it to them later. After she left Aarti talked to Nidhi about their problems...she advised her to tell everything to Aman... She felt that he ought to know the truth as its his life too which is at stake here. He should be allowed to decide for himself and his life but Nidhi told her that she had promised her Baba that she would tell him anything and if he comes to know the truth...he surely would not marry her. But then her Baba would find someone else for her as he wont ever agree to Dr Ashutosh for her.
Aarti wondered why her father couldn't see the depth of their love...if he did...all the problems could be sorted out easily... It was only his decision ...rather his fear of societal pressure which was playing with so many lives...she just prayed to the Almighty to show some light in these times of darkness. Some time later Nidhi (J) came with her drawing...Nidhi praised her for her drawing abilities and after spending some more time with her...she told Aarti that she needs to go back home. Before leaving Aarti took a promise from her that she would take care of herself and not become so weak ever again in life... She smiled to her and left for her home.
The end of this part...hope you all liked it😊
