Vidhi : Kya aapko sach mein aisa lagta hein kee mujhe join karni hein iss university mein.
Dev : Of course Vidhi.
Vidhi became silent.
Dev : Vidhi , yeh bahut acchi hein tumhare liye, infact ek exposure mil jaayenge aur iss university kaa apna ek naam hein. Tum jahan bhi jawogi kisi opportunity ke liye toh it will help you.
Vidhi : Matlab !! Aap ne decide hi kiya hein naa kee mujhe aapke office se door rakhna hein.
Dev ; Aisa kuch maine kaha nahin.
Vidhi : Toh phir yeh application kyun laaye ? Already aap de chuke hein. Mein yahan issi Indore mein bhi sab kar sakti hoon naa. Kya problem hein ?
Dev : Vidhi mein force nahi kar raha hoon. But please kya tum meri baat sunoge ?
Vidhi : Kya sunun mein ? Aapne kaha family problems mein interfere naa karo, aapne kaha maayke kyun nahin jaati , aapne phone kiya aur poocha tum waapis kyun nahin aayi . Aapne kaha job nahin kar sakti . Iss mein Mein kahan hoon Dev Sir ?
Dev : Vidhi, I am sorry. But iss situation mein mujhe lagta hein kee tum yahan rahogi toh kabhi dhyaan nahin do pawugi MBA par. I mean maine dekha tum ghar ke kaam karti rahogi non stop aur jab mein tumhein padne ke liye kaha toh thakan ke maare tumhari aankh lag gayi aur kahin naa kahin tumhari iss halat ke zimmedar mein hoon Vidhi.
Vidhi : Sir sab theek hoga. Mein manage karungi.Aur kar rahi hoon naa sab kuch.
Dev ; Par mujhe tumhari chinta hein Vidhi. Sabko ek saath satisfy karna hum humans ke bas kee baat hi nahin hein. Tum koshish acchi tarah kar rahi ho aur tumhari jagah mein hota toh utne efforts nahin karte jitna tum iss family ke liye kar rahi ho. Par Vidhi , tum beech beech mein classes jawogi aur ghar ke saare problems bhi aayenge toh shayad studies pe focus nahi kar pawogi, It's clearly my opinion. Mein chahta hoon tum ek baar socho. Phir bhi tumhein lagta hein kee tumhein Mysore university nahi jaana hein yahan sab ho jaayega toh theek hein.
Vidhi : Mein aapse , apne pariwaron se door nahin reh sakti.Mujhe toh adaat hi nahi hein hostel mein rehne kee. Aur kyun rahun mein ? Mein utni door aur aap yahan .. Kya aise dooriyan banane ke liye shaadi kee aapne mujh se. Kyun kar rahe hein aap ?
Dev ; I am sorry. Theek hein tum nahin karna chahti toh iss topic ko yahin khatam karte hein. Mmhh?
Vidhi : Aap samajh nahi rahe hein. Mein yahan se sab kar sakti hoon .
Dev : Vidhi , it's over . Maine lagta hein kuch zyada hi soch liya. Tumhari studies wise ,career wise betterment ho jaaye bas yahi aim thaa mera. Kuch decisions aise lene padte hein life mein kee humein emotions se upar udkar sochne padte hein. Aur Vidhi dooriyan banana mein bhi nahin chahta.Tumhein kya lagta hein tumhein wahan padne ke liye bhejke yahan mein khushi se reh pawunga ? Pal pal mujhe tumhari chinta hogi, tumhari yaad aayegi . Par mein iske aage yeh bhi dekh sakta hoon kee jab tum uss better ambiance se kuch bada sa seekhke ek better career pe awogi tab tum aur bhi confident aur strong lagogi. But ultimately choice is yours.
Vidhi : Dev Sir !!
Dev : Raat bahut ho chuke hein. Mujhe kal jaldi udna bhi hein. Good night.
Dev lie down at the bed. Vidhi looked him sadly.
Without saying anything she went away from room and folded her hands before the photo frame of Milapini maa.
Vidhi : Maa, mein kya karun? Mein Raichand pariwar mein hi rehkar yahan iss pariwar ke saath apne aap ko jodna chahti hoon. Rahi baat mere kaam karne kee , Maa woh sab mein khushi khushi karti hoon. Maine meri Maa ko dekha hein, Kaise unhone aapke mandir kee dekhbhaal saalon se kar rahin hein, kaise paapa ko , mujh ko ,chaachi ko sabko sambhal rahi hein. Haa unke saamne aise padayi kee koyi baat nahin aayi . Par Maa kya jaise Dev Sir ne kaha kahin mere studies mein koyi asar aayi toh ? Har baar kee tarah iss baar mein peeche nahin hat sakti. Par maa agar Dev sir kee baat maanke mein chali bhi gayi toh kya mein focus kar pawungi ? Mein padayi toh door kitab bhi nahin khol pawungi . Kyunki yeh karne kee prerna mujhe unhin se mili hein. Unhone professor kee tarah kitni baar mujhe mushkil cheezein samjhayi hein.....Par mein aise hi soti rahi aur kabhi bhi waqt theek se nikal nahi paayi apni MBA ke liye toh sabse zyada nirash toh Dev Sir hi honge. Unhone scholarship diye the mujhe aur mujhe pata hein uski keemat kya hein. Mein koyi decision nahin le paa rahi hoon Maa. Kya karoon mein ?
She went back to room and saw Dev sleeping calmly. Vidhi recalled the way how Dev took care off her when Damayanti Maasi was asking her to do massage of her legs and how Dev came there and saved her from the loose talks and tauntings. The way Dev supported MBA when Satyawati itself denied for it .
Vidhi : Dev sir ne hamesha mujhe protect kiya hein. Kuch baat ke liye gusse dikhaye zarur par bahut immandari se mujhse maafi bhi maange aur iss baar toh unhone mujhe khud decide karne ke liye kahan hein.
Suddenly Vidhi's eyes went on the half opened diary which Dev had kept at the table. She opened the diary and started reading it.
Aaj Vidhi ko dekhke mujhe meri yaad khud aayi. Jab Paapa ne mujhe london bheja college ke studies ke liye tab company ke financial condition kuch theek nahi the. Infact mein khud ek junior trainee banke Paapa ke madad ke liye jaata thaa. But paapa ko laga kee yeh sab mere studies mein, career mein koyi obstacle naa ban jaaye. Toh Paapa ne mujhse pooche bagair hee London ke Grandiose college mein saare arrangements kiye aur mujhe jaana pada. Mein jab waapis padayi khatam karke aaye toh paapa cancer ke last stage mein the. Unhone saari zimmedariyan mujhe dee , tab Abhimanyu aur Chitra bahut chote the. Phir zindagi ek race se kam nahin thi. Bahut saare ups and downs dekhi maine. Company ko better banane mein bahut koshish kee. Kuch log mujhe naye samajhte the initial days pe aur dhoka dene kee koshish kee , par tab education se mili knowledge ne meri help kee. Mein dekh sakta hoon aaj Vidhi bhi shayad aise hi kuch condition mein hein. Woh bahut masoom hein aur sabko khush rakhna chahtu hein. Par uski yahi acchayi aur masoomiyat kaa fayda unfortunately mere family ke hi kuch log udaa rahe hein. Zyada tar koyi jhagda naa ho, koyi pareshani naa ho isliye shayad din bhar joh problems hoti hein uske baare mein Vidhi zyada discuss nahi karti mujhse . Par mein dekh sakta hoon kee kaise ghar ke dekh bhaal mein, zimmedariyon kee uljhan mein woh apne liye waqt nahi nikal paati aur shayad mere liye bhi. Kyunki raaton ko uski thake huye chehre dekhke mein bas usse apne godhi mein sula rahan hoon. Mera bhi man karta hein kee kuch raatein aisi ho jiss mein sirf mein aur Vidhi , hamare mohabbat kee rang ho. Umra ki seemayein toh todi par kahin naa kahin kuch seemayein abhi bhi hein shayad isliye Vidhi hamare relationship ko next level pe le jaane mein thodi hichkichahat mehasus karti hein. Ho naa ho mein 40 s mein aur woh sirf 20 s mein. Aur woh sab karne ke liye puri zindagi padi hein. Mein physically thoda work out bhi karunga. I mean aisa nahi kee mujhe koyi jaanlewa bimaari aaye aur hamare sapne aise hi aadhe adhure toote . Itna old bhi nahi hoon mein. Par haan , Vidhi har tareeke se aage badhun abb mera yahi sapna hein. Maa ne kya sochke chaabiyon kee gucche diye mein samajh sakta hoon . Par kahin naa kahin mujhe lagta hein sab log Vidhi pe pressure kar rahe hein. Uski ek project ko galat tareeke se pesh karke Priya ne mujhe bahut disappoint kee hein. Mein Vidhi ke liye stand toh liya , par mujhe fikra hein Vidhi kee kahin aage bhi aisa kuch ho naa jaaye uske saath. Aur Vidhi mere office mein pehli baar aayi thi tab usse bahar kee duniya kaa zyada experience nahi thi.Lekin dheere dheere usne sab seekh lee aur kaafi zyada improved huyi. Woh dari see sehmi see Vidhi abb ek zimmedar bahu ban chuki hein, apni baatein , apne points aage rakhti hein....Mein bas thoda aur progress chahta hoon. Kaash iss baar akele sabse door ek university mein rehne pe kya pata woh apni journey khud tay kare ? As Vidhi asked Sir will you guide me ? Mein koshish kar raha hoon , but I can't impose anything on Vidhi . Vidhi agar yeh shehar chodke kuch time kahin aur rahegi toh mujhe khud nahi pata kee mein kaise jee pawunga uske bina ?kyunki kuch din pehle jab woh theen din maayke gayi tab ehsas huwa kee woh kis kadar mere dil mein samayi hein aur maine usse kitna hurt kiya. Mera tareeka bahut galat thaa. Phir bhi Vidhi ne mujhe maafi dee aur mujhe apnaya ..... Ghar kee ek ek cheezon ko dhyaan se karne ke koshish mein kahin naa kahin uski MBA miss ho rahi hein.... Isliye mujhe lagta hein jaise mere Paapa ne mujhe door bheja thaa mujhe bhi aise hi kuch karna chahiye and I bought this university application. I hope woh iss university mein jaane ke liye meri Vidhi maan jaaye.
Vidhi shut the diary and rushed near Dev. She sat at the floor and kept his palm at her forehead. Her tears were drenching his palm and Dev waked up quickly. He was shocked to see Vidhi in tears. He cupped her face and looked her : Vidhi !!
Dev : Vidhi kya huwa ??
Suddenly he saw diary in her hands .
Dev : Woh joh bhi maine likha please I am ...
Vidhi interrupted : Yeh saari baatein aap meri aankhon mein dekhke mujhse keh bhi toh sakte the Dev Sir. Aapka intention galat nahi hein....Aap bas meri progress chahte hein , hein naa ?
Dev : Vidhi dekho , mein...
Vidhi : Sir !!! Mein aapki patni hoon. Aap ne sabse upar mujhe chaha , jabki iss pariwar mein sirf mein akeli nahi hoon aapke liye .
Dev : Par tum meri zindagi ho, meri duniya ho,meri patni ho..... Shaadi mein joh vachan kiye the woh nibhana mera farz hein. Shayad meri Maa khud iske khilaf khadi ho jaayegi.Poochegi utni door kyun Vidhi ko bhej rahi ho ? Unki raza mandhi shayad milegi nahin. Par mein sirf tumhare baare mein, tumhare studies ke baare mein socha aur mere dil ne joh kaha wahi keh diya. Kyunki Vidhi tum kayi baar mujhse job karne kee baat kee aur maine hamesha se taala hein....Maa kee manzoori uss mein bilkul bhi nahi hein. Shayad iss topic pe yaa toh tum bolke chup ho jawogi maa ke gusse mein yaa phir kuch argument honge mere aur Maa ke beech. Mein yeh donon nahin chahta. Isliye mein sirf apne aap ke baare mein socha aur tumhein yeh insist kiya kee hamesha tum baar baar job karne kee baat socho mat . Mein itna selfish ho gaya thaa kee ek baar bhi tumhare khatir koshish bhi nahin kee aur sirf adamant hoke yahi kaha kee ghar mein problem honge aur tum baat mat karo. Tumhari ek haq tumse cheenne mein mein bhi zimmedar hoon Vidhi. Jab tumhari MBA ki baat aayi aur maine dekha jiss tarah Maa rok rahi thi MBA ke liye toh mujhse raha nahi gaya aur maine react kiya....Aur jiss raat tum bahut thak gayi thi aur book ko aise dil mein rakhke so gayi mujhe samajh mein aaya kee din bhar tum kitni saari bhaag daud kar rahi ho. Aur mein aise baar baar focus karo, padayi karo bol bolke tumhein udane kee jagah kyun naa kuch aisa karun kee tumhein padayi bina kisi pressure ke aaram se acche se karne kee ek ambiance mile . Isliye apni emotions ko side mein rakhke university ke woh application laaye .....Par trust me tumhein door bhejna kaa koyi iraada nahi hein. Mujhe pata hi nahi kee mera kya hoga jab tum mujhe chodogi ??
Vidhi : Aap mere baare mein kitna sochte hein . Aur mein hoon kee aapko hi , Sir I am sorry .....Aapne jaise hi aapke Paapa ne joh kiya uske baare mein mention kiya thaa diary mein , woh padne ke baad mujhe realise huwa kee aapke liye bhi yeh aasan nahi thaa . Par aapne apne Paapa kee baat ko maan lee. Aur aap aaj bahut reputed business man hein, Raichand companies ko heights mein le jaane mein aapne kitna kuch kiya iss pariwar ke liye kitna kuch kiya. Aapne baalghar mein mujhe batayi naa MBA karke mein empowered ho jawungi . Aaj uska sahi matlab samajh mein aayi Sir . Mein jaane ke liye ready hoon. Kab jaana hein mujhe ?
Dev : Vidhi !!!
Vidhi : Sir mein sacche dil se keh rahi hoon. Sir dooriyan mein bhi nahin chahti, par Sir aapka joh sapna hein mein thodi aur samajhdhar ho jawun, mein aage badhun ,thodi aur confident ho jawun woh sab mein pura karungi. Kyunki aapke guide kiye huye raah mein safar karne se mujhe bahut garv feel hoti hein. Mein university join karungi aur jitne bhi sources mujhe milenge woh sab utilize karungi apni studies ke liye .Yeh vaada hein aapse aapki patni kee taraf se. Aap yeh mat sochiyega kee yeh decision mein bas aapke dil rakhne ke liye le rahi hoon. Yeh decision apne aap ko kaabil banane ke liye mein le rahi hoon.Iss mein sirf mere armaan hi nahin mere pati ke sapne bhi jude hein. Aur mein puri immandari se MBA karungi.
Dev : Vidhi
They both embraced each other tightly.
Vidhi : Ek baat kahun , aap sab kuch har choti see choti baat mujhe bata sakte hein meri aankhon mein dekhke .
Dev : Hamare beech koyi secrets nahin, kuch personal nahi toh kya fark padta tumne diary padi yaa nahi, Woh bas aadat hein kuch baatein shayad zuban se keh nahi paata hun.
Vidhi and Dev released each other . Dev wiped Vidhi's tears .
Vidhi : Kal hum donon milke Maa se baat karenge ......Mujhe vishwas hein woh maan jaayegi .
Dev ; Aur agar meri Maa ne mana kiya tab bhi mein tumhein leke jawunga ......Maa ko manane ke koshish bhi karunga.
Vidhi : Toh kya kal agar mere studies khatam ho jaaye aur tab mujhe koyi job offer aaye tab aap mere liye stand loge ?
Dev : Zarur lunga ......Kyunki tumhari haq ko cheenne kaa mujhe koyi haq nahin hein . Pehle tum thodi aur kaabil ho jawo tab tak waqt hein , mein Maa ko manane kee koshish karunga.
Vidhi : Aur mein bhi.
They both held each other's hands and smiled.
Dev gives her a pen with a smile.Vidhi fills the application form and looked Dev.
Dev : Thank you Vidhi meri baat ko samajhne ke liye.
Vidhi : Mere thank you bhi banta hein. Pagli film hoon naa mein isliye pehle aapse behas kee jab yeh application kiye . Par abb samajh mein aayi kee mujhse zyada meri fikar mere sweet husband ko hein. Isliye thank you so much Sir.
Vidhi kissed at Dev's cheek.
Vidhi : So jaaye , raat bahut ho chuke hein.
Dev : Sach mein sona hein kya !!!
Vidhi blushed in smile. Dev picked her in his arms and twirled Vidhi. He walked towards the garden area lifting Vidhi in his arms only. Slowly he made her to sit at the corner bench and he sat beside her. They both looked the starry night.
Vidhi : Dhruv taara dikh raha hein aaj Sir.
Dev : Shayad kuch zyada hi chamakne kee koshis kar raha hein kyunki meri cute wife uss taare se bhi zyada khoobsurat hein.
Vidhi : Sir aap bhi naa !!! Waise mera yahi armaan hein kee aise kayi raatein humein mile jiss mein hum saath mein baithke dhruv taare dekh sakun.
They both held each other's hands and smiled.
Next day
Satyawati ; Dev, kya tumhein andaza bhi hein kuch ? Kya zarurat hein yeh sab karne kee ?
Dev : Mein apni patni ke liye kuch karna chahta hoon Maa.
Vidhi : Aur mein apne pati ke liye .
Dev : Maaf karna maa , par yeh zaruri hein. Please.
Vidhi : Maa ,mein jaldi lautungi . Mujhe aashirwad deejiye .
Satyawati just kept her hand on Vidhi's forehead without saying anything.
Bimla : Vidhu, tujh mein aatma vishwas aur hausla dilane mein Devji ne hamesha tumhare saath dee hein. Iss faisle bhi kuch aise hi hein.
Hariprasad : Vidhi beta , tumhein kuch kahunga nahin. Acche se padayi karna .
Vidhi and Dev folded hands before Milapini maa . Dev dropped Vidhi at university. All arrangements were done. And when it was time for Dev to leave Vidhi rushed and hugged Dev.
Vidhi : Mein kaise rahungi aapke bina ?
Dev : Mujhe pata hein hum donon ke liye yeh mushkil hein. Par Vidhi kuch aise waqt zindagi mein aati hein jahan apnon se door hone padte hein. Mein door kahan hoon ? Phone pe baatein karenge aur beech mein aise chuttiyon mein tum ghar aa sakti ho yaa phir mahine mein ek do baar mein awunga tumse milne . Hey naa ? Tum apni studies pe dhyaan do aur mehnat karo .
Vidhi nodded her head painfully . Dev kissed at her forehead .
Dev ; Mein tumhare dil mein basa hoon Vidhi , Kahin door nahin. Yeh dooriyan nahin, nazdeeqiyan hein.....I ....I love you so much, Vidhi.
Vidhi : I love you too Sir.
Slowly they both released each other's hands and when the gate was closing Vidhi's tiny teary eyes looked Dev who was smiling and giving a thumbs up. The moment she turned and walked inside the campus Dev bend at his own knees at the road and screamed : Vidhi !!!
Pata nahin kya khayal aayi dil mein aur yeh likh daali. Sorry agar kisi ko padke bura laga toh. Please read and drop your views
