It's a masquerade stage set on fire where along people's identity, their motives too imbibed with a mask...
It's already 10pm...Everyone is there excited and cheering for a merry go dance.. I came out there as I don't wanna be in a place where Abir singhania is there.
I am neither interested in dance nor in this party...
Suddenly, the lights were turned off due to some issues. The Manager is yelling to set things right at earliest.. I heard the voice of child crying somewhere..
Without my knowledge, I left the stage following the voice.... To my surprise, I see a small girl approaching the stern almost to rescue her doll which is about to fall. " Meri Gudiya"... a girl is weeping aloud helpless for the doll.. The flashes of my past hits me hard seeing the same scenario once again...
I yelled " Pihu" so aloud that everyone in the Cryise can hear my scream clearly.. "Pihu Rukh jaa"... I starter running towards the girl. In haste, I pulled the girl up near the port. I hugged so tightly and screamed with the wordings " Pihu tujhe bacha liya maine, tujhe bacha liya maine". "Tu theek hai re, Pihu"... I shedded the happy tears.
Suddenly, the mother of the girl came there and pushed me " Chodo usse, Durr raho meri beti se", she exclaimed in anger. The little girl is crying in fear.
I stood up and ran to the kid again "Nahin... Yeh meri Pihu hai. Aap chodiye meri Pihu ko. Chuna mat ussey. Hathaye haath aap. Pihu chal".. I dragged the kid's hand and about to move.
The lady shrugged and pushed me , " Pagal hogayi hai kya ladki"? She questioned and started to walk away from there with her child. I screamed aloud "Nahin yeh meri Pihu hai. Kahaan leke jaa rahi ho aap. Meri Pihu ko chodh do. Bahut choti hai woh. Mujhe maar do. Pihu ko chodh do"... I ran towards them but people around there stopped me. I knelt down and sobbed bitterly yelling to God " Kyun cheenliya phir se Pihu ko mujh se. Kyun? "....
From the crowd, one lady approached near me and began recalling something... " Tum Niranjan ki beti Pooja ho na jisse panchayat ne, woh Shilpa ki beti jisse pattharon se.. Lekin tum zinda kaise ho? ", She questioned in haste.
The flashes of past began to screen before me. My forehead engrossed with droplets of sweat endeavoring the incidents rolling again.. It's feels like I am passing out heavily with the burden of trauma overshadowed me today.. The body is aching and shivering with the thoughts of losing everyone... " Maa, Baba kahaan ho aap? Bachalo hamein . "I screamed aloud looking at lonely sky without stars...
I stood up and began to walk down the port screaming " Pihu" looking down the waves of water... " Pihu kahaan hai Tu"...? I was screaming aloud and stumbling alone in that dark night with people around looking strangely at me gossiping as if I am insane....
Finally, the flashes of past of entangled me, that I trembled, collapsed and fainted near the port.
The whole Singhania's looked stunned seeing this entire drama helplessly not knowing how to tame the storm inside me......
I looked at Pooja, speechless not knowing what to say. She looked so weak and helpless.
“Pihu” I repeated the name. Yeh Pihu kon hai aur pooja usko kaise janti hai.
I went towards pooja, her body lying on the floor. I got her head on my lap.
“Pooja! Pooja get up! Pooja” I kept trying to get her up but she won’t budge.
What if I lose her?
