ShaNoor ff
Part 4
The final opportunity….
Early in the morning, theartistic golden sun got up like a baby and colored the dark black sky into abright blue sky. The farmers with their checkered shirts drove their tractors on the long road. The mustard fields looked like someone has spread a green dusty bedsheet. Shaurya and Anokhi had an artistic morning view of Kapurthala as they drove towards Aastha’s residence. They were absolutely unaware of theturn of events in the previous night. Their car was filled with bouquets and gifts to surprise their parents. Their hopes were absolutely high regarding their parents’ relationship getting better. They reached the place and got down the car with adorable smiles adorning their cute faces. They picked up the bouquets and gift bags and walked to the entrance door. As they rang the doorbell, Aastha casually came and opened the door..
Shaakhi: Happy Anniversaryyy!!!!!
They said in a jiffy. Aastha’s face was dull and her eyes were puffy and swollen. She was in her casual getup which Shaakhi observed. They walked in, in a befuddled state and observed the gifts which Shaan had carried last night lying on the table untouched and the flowers drying up.
Sha: Yeh sab kya hai maa? Dad kaha hai? Aap dono theek ho na?
Ano: Haan mumma! Aapka chehra aise uthra hua kyu hai? Aur papa kaha hai?
Aastha remained quiet for a while but she had to spill the beans as Shaakhi didn’t know about Shaan’s whereabouts.
A: Shaan kal raat ko hi yaha se nikal gaya tha.. usse toh ghar par hi hona chahiye…
Sha: what!? Dad kal raat hi yahase nikal gaye? Matlab?
A: shaurya!!!.... Kal raat humare beech kisi baat ko lekar jhagda hogaya.. aur Shaan gussa hokar kal raat hi chala gaya yaha se.. mujhe laga woh ghar jaa raha hai… tum dono ki baat sunkar ab darr lag raha hai mujhe.. Tum pls usse ek baar call karke poochlo woh kaha hai.. agar mein karungi toh bata nahi woh uthayega bhi ya nahi..
Shaurya walked a little away and called Shaan. Anokhi held Aastha’s shoulder and tried asking her about what went wrong the previous might.
Ano: mumma! Kya hua kal raat ko? Papa yaha bohot khushi se aaye the.. phir achanak aap dono ke beech jhagda kaise hogya?? Aapne unse kuch kaha?
Sha: Dad phone nahi utha rahehai.. pata nahi kaha honge..
Ano: PS! Aap ek baar ghar par call karke dekhiye na.. shayad papa kal raat der se ghar aaye ho aur kisi ko pata nahi.. unke room mein ek baar check karne keliye kahiye..
Shaurya agreed and nodded. He called his Gayatri chachi and requested her to look over Shaan’s room for confirmation. Gayatri agreed and whisked towards Shaan’s room. The door was half open, Gayatri pushed the door and entered in having Shaurya on call. She stumbled at the door because of the perfume bottle which was lying on the floor. She was perplexed seeing the condition of the room. The vase was broken with glass pieces spread across the floor, the cushions were all over, and few bottles of alcohol were rolling the table. Gayatri cupped her mouth in a shock as she saw Shaan carelessly lying on the bed with few photographs and crumbled paper notes around him. She hurried towards him and tried to wake him up. His shirt was partially wet and there was a stink of alcohol coming from him.
G: Shaan bhaisaab!!! She called repeatedly but there was no response. As she tried to wake him up, she unintentionally touched his forehead and realized he was burning with fever.
G: Shaurya!! Shaan bhaisaab yahi hai unke kamre mein par unka tabiyat bilkul theek nahi hai.. unhe bohot tez bukaar hai aur upar se woh behosh bhi hai..
Sha: what!? Chachi!! Aap jaldi sedoctor ko call kijiye.. mein aur anokhi bohot jald pohunchenge..
He said and disconnected thecall.
Sha: Dad ko bukaar hai aur woh behosh hai apne kamre mein.. Aisa kya hua aap dono ke beech jo dad ka haalat itna kharab hai!? He asked sharply
A: shaurya! Shaan ka tabiyat theek nahi hai.. I am sorry!! Mujhe nahi pata tha ki..
Sha: Yeh sab baat karne ka time nahi hai humare paas.. mujhe aur anokhi ko jaana padega.. mujhe dad ki fikar horahi hai..
A: shaurya! Mein bhi chalungi tumhare saat.. Please..
Ano: PS! Hum maa ko bhi lekar jaate hai..
Sha: theek hai! Jaldi chaliye..
He said and walked out of the house. Aastha quickly dumped a pair of clothes and other necessary things intoa bag and walked out of the house informing her parents. Shaurya repeatedly questioned aastha regarding the previous night while driving back home but she remained numb. She was immensely worried about Shaan’s health blaming herself for his condition. They finally arrived at the Sabharwal house and Shaurya rushed in leaving Anokhi and Aastha behind. Anokhi held Aastha’s hand and walked in calming her down.
D: rukho! Came a sharp voice as Aastha stepped in. Devi Sabharwal stood at the entrance glaring at Aastha.
D: Tum yaha kya kar rahi ho? Abkya karna baaki reh gaya hai? Shaan ki tabiyat tumhari waje se kharab hai aur tum phirse usse takleef dene keliye yaha tak aagayi?
Ano: badi maa aap kaisi baatein kar rahi hai.. Maa ne aisa kuch nahi kiya hai..
D: anokhi! Tum itni yakeen ke saat kaise keh sakti ho?
Ano: aur aap itni yakeen ke saat kaise keh sakte hai? Aapko kaise bata ki Aastha maa ki waje se Papa ka tabiyat kharab hai? Unhone kaha aapse?
Devi was dumbstruck at Anokhi’s interrogation as it was onerous for her to shut smart DIL’s mouth.
D: woh.. mein jaanti hu aaj Shaan aur Aastha ka wedding anniversary hai.. aur kal raat Shaan ko ghar se jaate hue dekha tha maine.. uske haat mein flowers tha.. zaahir si baat hai ki woh aastha se hi milne jaa raha tha.. aur isne zaroor kuch tamasha kiya hoga.. jiske wajese uska haalat aisa hua hai.. bata nahi aisa kya hai isme jo Shaan iske waje se itna affected hai..
A: Devi bhabhi! Aapne phirse prove kar diya ki aap kisi bhi hadd tak jaa sakte hai do logon ke beech dooriya khade karne keliye.. Aapko zara sa bhi sharm nahi hai..
D: Aastha!! Tum mere ghar mein aakar mere saat badtameezi karogi..??
Ano: badi maa pls!! Maa ko papa se milne dijiye.. unki tabiyat theek nahi hai aur hume unki fikar hai.. Chaliye maa!!!
Anokhi said and took her in.Aastha suppressed her anger as Devi was & is the reason behind the entire mishap. Shaurya sat beside Shaan as he was unconsciously lying on the bed. Gayatri informed him that the doctor had visited and Shaan bhaisaab would be fine in a day or two. Anokhi and Aastha reached the door and Aastha was hit by nostalgia. She was entering the room after 25 years, but did she had the right to do so, she wondered. Anokhi assured her and took her in. Aastha was bewildered looking at the state of the room, even though the broken stuffs on the floor were cleaned up. Her eyes filled beholding Shaan’s condition as she was filled with guilt. She went and settled on the other side of the bed and placed her palm on his, it was blazing. Anokhi touched Shaurya’s shoulder and whispered..
Ano: PS! Hume yaha se chalna chahiye.. unhe todi der akele chodiye.. maa hai na.. woh khayal rakhegi.. Don’t worry Papa bilkul theek hojayenge..
Anokhi reassured him. Shaurya too felt it was a right thing to give them their space. Anokhi and Shaurya left the room as Aastha was so absorbed in looking at Shaan.
A: I am sorry Shaan! maine tumhe bohot buri tareeke se hurt kiya.. tumhara koi Galati nahi tha.. mujhe tumse aise baat nahi karna chahiye tha.. mujhe maaf kardo.. She said caressing his hand.
Her gaze fell upon the photographs reposing on the bed. She picked them up and had a look at their memories one after the other. There were small notes inside the pink box which was carelessly placed on the bed. She read those painful notes and squeezed her eyes for the tears to pour down. As Aastha was involved in reminiscing their past through those photographs, Shaan moved in sleep and opened his eyes slightly. His vision was blurred, but he could make out that the woman seated must be his Noor. He opened his eyes and had a clear vision of her and he was absolutely right in guessing who that was. Aastha heard Shaan’s gasps while hewas trying to get up and instantly moved away from the bed panicking about his reaction. She was his offender and his promise of not visiting her again had taken a toll at her.
S: Aastha!!! He mumbled while he got up and Aastha stood away getting afraid even after knowing he cannot hurt her ever.
A: woh!! Shaan!! mein sirf tumhe dekhne aayi thi kyuki tumhari tabiyat kharab hai.. bass chali jaungi..
Shaan cautiously got down the bed and trudged towards her. Aastha was addled seeing him head towards her. Shaan suddenly tripped as he was still under sedation and Aastha held him from falling down.
A: Shaan! kya kar rahe ho!! Tumhe rest ki zaroorat hai.. pls.. todi aur der aaram karlo.. agar tumhe kuch chahiye toh mujhe batao…
She said trying to make him siton the bed.
S: Mujhe tum chahiye Noor!!!
He said and the next moment he seized her in his arms. Aastha couldn’t fathom what he was trying to say..
S: I am sorry Noor!!! I am reallysorry.. He said silently weeping on her shoulders
A: Shaan! chup hojao.. tum kyu maafi maang rahe ho? Maafi toh mujhe maangni chahiye.. Maine tumhe hurt kiya tha kal raat ko.. mein galat hu..
S: Nahi Noor! Maanta hu tum naraz thi par mujhe tumhe samajhna chahiye tha ki akhir tum naraz kyu thi.. maine ek hi baar mein haar maan liya.. tumse jaanne ki koshish tak nahi kiya.. I was so wrong.. upar se tum par chilla bhi diya.. maine hamesha tumhe takleef pahunchaaya hai.. tumhe kabhi samjha hi nahi.. He said and Aastha couldn’t hold him anymore as he started hiccupping due to his nonstop weeping. She made him sit on the bed and wiped his face. She took a glass of water from the bedside table and made him drink. He refused initially but he had to budge to her words.
A: Bass Shaan!! chup hojao.. mein keh rahi hu na tumhara koi Galati nahi.. pls rona band karo.. mein tumhe aise nahi dekh sakti.. mein duniya ke saamne strong banke firti hu par mein tumhe aisi haal mein kabhi nahi dekh sakti..
She said while trying to console him. Shaan slapped his own cheeks labelling himself a bad person. Aastha stopped him and held his hand tight.
S: tum mujhse door jaoge toh mujhe aisa lagega jaise mein mar jaunga.. ab mein iss duri ko bardash nahi kar sakta hu Noor.. Please.. Mein kya karu jisse tum meri zindagi mein wapas aajaoge?? He asked resting his forehead on her palms.
A: Shaan!! Please.. bass karo.. mein yaha zyada der nahi rukh sakti.. mujhe yaha se jaana hoga..
S: Nahi!! Tum mujhe chodkar kayi nahi jaoge.. mein tumhe jaane nahi dunga.. kya tum mujhse dur rehkar paccheez saal khush thi?? Mujhe dekho aur jhoot matt bolo… kyuki Mein kabhi khush nahi tha.. maine sirf zinda laash bankar itne saal guzara hai Noor!.. apna khushi kisi ke saat baat nahi sakta tha, apna dard kisi se nahi keh sakta tha.. mein aadha marr chukka hu Noor!! Uss din maine tumhe bina roke bohot bada gunah kiya hai.. tumhe rokhna chahiye tha.. Agar usi din tumhe rokleta toh pachheez saal aisa nahi hota.. mein jaanta tha ki maine Galati ki hai.. tumse bina maafi maange, ek aur Galati kiya maine.. mujhe maaf kardo Noor!! Please…
Apne pyar keliye ladna mere bete ne sikhaya hai mujhe.. Mereliye tumne sab kuch chod diya tha.. phir bhi kaise jaane diya maine tumhe!?… mein tumhare paas nahi aasakta tha.. tumhe bina dekhe reh bhi nahi sakta tha.. aur bhoolna toh mereliye na mumkin tha… bass!! I cant do with this hell anymore.. Mujhe meri Noor wapas chahiye.. mujhe meri biwi wapas chahiye.. tum chahiye.. Dekho!! Agar tum ‘na’ kahogi toh yeh matt sochnaki mein tumhe choddunga.. mein phirse tumhe manane ki koshish karunga.. baarbaar karunga.. jab tak tum mujhe accept nahi karleti.. tab tak koshish karta rahunga..
He said holding her face.. Aastha had mixed emotions sprinting in her mind. She didn’t know how to calm him down,he had become so vulnerable. Shaan almost fainted on her shoulder due to the medicinal effect. Aastha held him and made him lay down on the bed but he didn’tlet go of her hand.
S: Noor! Mujhe chodkar kayi matt jaana.. He repeatedly said.
A: haan! Mein kayi nahi jaungi..tum pls aaram karo..
S: mujhe darr lag raha hai.. meri aankhe band hote hi tum chali jaoge..
A: Nahi Shaan! mein kayi nahi jaungi.. jab tak tum theek nahi hojate.. tab tak mein kayi nahi jaungi..
S: toh mein kabhi theek nahi hona chahta hu.. tab tum yahi rahogi mere paas..
He spoke in his sub conscious state but didn’t let go off her hand. Aastha broke down seeing him so vulnerable. Anokhi witnessed their pain standing outside the room and brokedown crying. Shaurya consoled her and assured her that he loves her more thanshe could ever imagine. Aastha rested beside Shaan as he had clutched her hand so tight that it was impossible for her to get away. After he fell into a deep slumber, she slowly pulled her hand out and went to ask for Shaan’s lunch. Sheasked one of the servant to prepare soup and returned back to the room. Devi barricaded her which exasperated Aastha.
A: aap yaha kya kar rahi hai?
D: mein!!?? Mein iss ghar ki malkin hu.. mein jaha chahe waha jaungi.. waise yeh sawal meri honi chahiye..
A: bass!! Mujhe aur badkhane ki koshish matt kijiye.. bata nahi kal raat ko mujhe kya hogya tha jo mein aap jaisi aurat ki baton mein aagayi..
D: Aastha! Apni hadd paar karrahi ho..
A: hadd ki baat aap matt kijiye..shobha nahi deta.. ab meri raaste se hat jayiye aur mujhe andar jaane dijiye..
D: tumhe andar jaane ka koi haq nahi hai..
A: meri baat kaan kolke sunlijiye… aap mujhe jo chahe woh bulayiye.. humare rishtey ko jo naam dena chahte hai dijiye.. aapka kuch bhi kehne se mera aur Shaan ke beech jo bhi hai woh badal nahi jayega.. hum dono ki rishtey ko naam dene ki koi zaroorat nahi haimujhe.. usse badkar hai humara rishta.. mujhe aapke baton se koi fark nahi padta.. iss waqt mujhe sirf Shaan ki tabiyat ki fikar hai..
She said and shoved Devi out ofthe room while getting in.
A: Apne kaam se kaam rakhiye.. agar aap chahte hai ki mein shaurya ko aapki harkaton ke baare mein na batau, toh yaha se chup chaap chali jayiye.. She said and banged the door on Devi’s face. Devi was enraged but she had no other option but to get lost from the place.
Aastha took care of Shaan the entire day. She fed him soup and wiped is face, hands and legs with cold water so that his fever get reduced. She checked his temperature from time to timeand fortunately it was becoming normal. Shaurya and Anokhi spent some time together with their parents and got back to their room in the night. Aastha had no other choice but to stay back with Shaan. Both of them had a silent dinner together in their private space after ages.
A: Shaan! kamre ka haalat dekho!!Kya bana diya hai tumne!?
She said while setting the bed right. Shaan held her hand and stopped her from doing so. He moved his palm toher face and caressed her cheeks. She tried to stop him but feared about hisreaction and his health most importantly. He pressed a kiss on her forehead and moved down to her lips.
A: Shaan!! She whispered
S: Don’t worry! Mein tumhe kabhi force nahi karunga.. jab tak tum khud mujhe nahi apnaati..
A: tumhe sojana chahiye.. bohot der hogya hai…
Shaan sighed and lied on thebed..
S: Noor! Raat ko tum mujhec hodkar nahi jaaoge, iska kya guarantee hai?
A: kaisi baatein kar rahe ho tum?Mein kayi nahi jaungi.. yahi rahungi..
S: mujhe yakeen nahi hai.. tummere paas yahi so jao.. aur mein tumhare haat pakadkar sojaunga.. tab tum kayi nahi jaoge iss baat ka tasalli rahega mujhe..
A: Shaan! yeh kaisa zid hai..nahi..
S: theek hai mein aaj raat sounga hi nahi.. agar jaagunga toh phirse mera tabiyat kharab hojayega..
A: yeh galat baat hai.. tum mujhe blackmail nahi kar sakte..
S: yeh blackmail nahi.. mmm..lovemail hai..
He said smiling endearingly ather. Aastha was caught up, she had no other choice. She agreed to his antics and rested beside him on the bed. Shaan immediately held her hand and grinned at her.
S: mujhe yakeen nahi horaha hai Noor! Hum dono aise saat mein… itne saalon ke baad..
A: Shaan! so jao..
S: huh! Accha theek hai baba! Mein tumhe aur pareshaan nahi karunga.. He said and dozed off to sleep after a while clasping her hand close to his heart. Aastha had other plans in mind. The nextday morning, the golden fingers of sunlight lit up their entire room. Aastha was having a sound sleep. She immediately woke up and got rid of his hold catiously. She got freshened up and decided to leave before Shaan woke up. She informed Anokhi that Shaan was doing fine and there was no need for her to stay back.Anokhi repeatedly insisted her to stay back but Aastha didn’t agree. While she was leaving the house, Tej and Devi gave her complimentary taunts..
T: phirse iss ghar mein kadam rakhne ki koshish bhi matt karna..
Sha: bade papa! Yeh aap kis tarah se baat kar rahe hai maa se.. woh meri maa hai..
D: haan shaurya! Woh sirf tumhari maa hai.. usse sirf yeh rishta nibhana chahiye.. koi rishta nahi jo pehle setoot chuka hai..
T: abhi kya dekh rahi ho? Jao yahase…
S: nahi bhaisaab!! Aastha kayi nahi jayegi.. Came a voice from upstairs. Shaan walked downstairs and held Aastha’s hand much to her surprise. She wondered whether it was the same meek person who remained quiet while she left the house.
S: aapko iss baat se problem hai na ki ab woh meri wife nahi hai.. don’t worry.. uss problem ko mein abhi solve kar deta hu.. He said and took Aastha to the mandir inside the mansion. He took a handful of vermillion which was kept in front of the idol and applied it on Aastha’s forehead.. Aastha was flabbergasted at his unpredictable action. She wasin a daze as she touched her forehead to check those red hues which got colored to her fingers. Shaan took her back to the hall while Aastha was still in trance.
S: ab kisi ko koi problem nahi hosakta.. ab aastha meri wife hai.. woh ab isi ghar mein rahegi.. meri biwihone ki hesiyat se..
T: Shaan! yeh kaisa pagalpan hai.. mein iss shaadi ko nahi manta aur na hi yeh aurat iss ghar mein reh sakti hai..
S: theek hai phir.. agar meri wife ko iss ghar mein rehne ki jagah nahi hai toh mein bhi yaha nahi rahunga.. mein iss ghar chodkar jaa raha hu.. Noor! Bass das minute rukho.. mein aata hu.. mein phirse wahi Galati nahi dohraunga Noor!!.. hum jaha bhi rahenge, saat mein rahenge..
He said & rushed to his room. He packed all his stuff and walked down. He held Aastha’s hand and walked outof the house. Shaurya and Anokhi were couldn’t figure out the situation but deep within they were happy seeing their parents back together.
