Eternal Soulmates
Jaane woh kaise log the jinke pyar ko pyar mila,
Hum ne toh jab kaliya maangi, kato ka har mila
(Film Payasa, singer Hemant Kumar)

Bani sat watching Ganga playing with the children in the park, she was the youngest amongst the lot but was the smartest, if Bani might say so...fighting for her turn, kicking the ball hard and running so fast that even the boys were having difficulty catching up with her...Bani smiled she could see the same determined jaws as her father and when Ganga frowned there was little doubt that she was not her father's daughter.
There was hardly any day when Bani did not think about her father, her husband, she did all the time and their children too, Atharva and Krishna, the names she always scribbled absentmindedly, the children snatched away from them so brutally, Bani would have lost faith in God if it had not been for Ganga, whom she thought was a miracle to have happened in her life, with two children already, Jai, her husband did not want anymore, Bani did bring up the topic once ...Jai caressed her velvet skin and whispered ...waise hi tumhe mere liye waqt nehi milta aur ek a jayega toh mera toh chhutti ho jayega...
Waqt...yeh complain toh Atharva bhi aajkaal karne laga hai...he is always saying Papa office se laut tehi aap unke pass chale jate ho...
Yeh ladka toh mera sabse bara dushmaan hai...pura din toh rehta hai apne Ma ke pass phirbhi itni bari complain...
Bani laughed...

Dusk was about to set in the small town of Meerut...Bani called out for Ganga, now they should be leaving...it is about time Bani starts preparing for evening dinner, her clients will start coming early with the festival season round the corner, many of them came with family as hers was a reasonably priced place with home like food.
+++
Bani and Masi helped and supervised their helpers with firm hand while they served the clients, with deft hands Bani rolled out chapattis and parathas with one eye on Ganga, who was playing at a corner, Bani never let her out of her sight, she has been taught a very hard lesson and she simply could not afford to lose her treasure all over again...
It was well passed 12 in the night, when Bani went to bed, Ganga already sleeping, Bani took a wet towel, wiped her legs and hands of any dirt, examined her for any scratch, satisfied she put the cover over, kissed her...Masi smiled...this was the everyday nightly ritual but Masi loved to see the emotions playing in Bani's face...in such a young life she has gone through which normally one did not undergo in a lifetime....she was like a crushed red rose, beautiful but scarred...
Bani lay down next to Ganga, the area had gone quiet, the highway was not very far and she could hear the noise of the trucks and vehicles plying in the silence of the night, the noise of the horns fading away...Bani remembered the nightly long drives her husband took her on, to have some time for themselves away from joint family, they sat cosily inside the car, holding hands, Jai loved it when Bani snuggled upto his shoulder, biting his ears and nuzzling his neck...he then stopped the car on a secluded place...
Later when the children came, it became their weekend ritual, Arthava loved cars and insisted they go on drives, the faster Jai drove, the children enjoyed it more, laughed aloud...and their father became their instant hero, worshipping the ground on which he walked...Bani's eyes closed remembering the happy faces of her late children.....
