...
HER SOB !
...
...
Abhijeet ! lunch. krne chalo... the caller didn't get any reply.
Daya stood. scanning his face quite curiously , he reclined back in his chair was keenly watching his pen in his hand rotating it in specific direction and with every rotation his forehead was knitting one more deep line .
Daya squeezed his shoulder gently - Abhijeet !
suddenly all lines on his forehead vanished and like finally he concluded something , he hurriedly got up from his chair ... - han yehi thik rhega , mein chalta hun.
Daya - mein bhi toh wohi bol rha. hun , lunch krne chalo.
Abhijeet - Daya tum kab aye?
Daya- lo kbse khada bula rha hun tumhe .dhyan kidhar hein tumhara ?
Abhijeet - oh sorry ! yar mein nhi aasakta , mein bahar ja rha hun .
Daya - achank ? esi kya emergency aan pdi ? sab thik toh hei?
in response he only looked at him , remembering the conversation happened just an hour before .
...
flash back of an hour before.
...
finally he got some free time from his file work , and immediately he phoned her , today she had an day off .
the ringing sound seemed to be longer one but finally , she picked it up.
hello ! Abhijeet ! ... her sweet voice .
Abhijeet smiled widely after hearing her voice - Hello Tarikaji !
Tarika surprised - Abhijeet ! aaj kam ke bich me hi humari yad kese aa gyi ? ... but the sharp minded officer didn't reply instead he started listening her quite carefully .
Abhijeet - Ek min , Tarika yeh awaz kesi?
Tarikaasked in confusion - Awaz? ... kesi?
Abhijeet - Mein bhi toh wohi puch rha hun? .. and his sharp ears again heard that sound ... sobbing ? ..
Tarika pulled her nose up - par muze koi awaz nhi Sunai de rhi .
Abhijeet - Tarika sach batao kya hua? tum ro rhi ho ?
Tarika was surprised - mein kiyun roungi bhala? ...
again he heard sob , this time much clearly .
Abhijeet - kya tumhari tabiyat thik nhi ?
Tarika - I am fine abhi.... but she couldn't hide her whimper .
Abhijeet - thik hei , mein rkhta hun , apna kbyal rkhna.
...
flash back ends.
Daya - oh ! par Tarika ro kiyun rhi thi?
Abhijeet - wohi toh mei soch rha tha.
Daya - kahi tum donoka koi zagda wageirah ?
Abhijeet - shut up Daya! mein kiyun use zagda krunga? u know that I love her very much.
Daya. - fir kya hua hoga?
Abhijeet. - ptanhi Yarr , muzr ab tension ho rhi hein , 2 - 3 dinse uski tabiyat thodi thik nhi thi . kahi wohi reason toh nhi ?
Daya nodded .
Abhijeet. - Yah toh fir use apni mom se mile kai month ho gye hein , shayad use unki yad aa rhi hogi?
Daya again nodded in yes .
Abhijeet became irritate - yar har bat par gardan kiyun hila rha hei tu?
Daya- toh fir kya kru?
Abhijeet gave a tough look to him .
Daya raised his both hands- OK , ek kam kr , tu 2 - 3 ghante ki chutti lekr uske ghar chala ja , use achha lagega.
abhijeet - mein uske ghar hi ja rha tha na? par tune bichme tok diya.
Daya asked surprisingly. - Is me bhi meri hi galti kya? ... ( looking at abhijeet' s tensed face ) .. OK go now . mein Acp sir ko bol dunga.
Abhijeet - thanks... and he dashed out side the bureau.
...
...
...
he didn't wait to ring the door bell .directly used the spare key given by her to use in emergency and opened it .
Tarika! ... he called eagerly while entering inside.
and his jaws remained wide apart seeing the scene before him.
...
Abhijeet kya hua?
tum ghabraye hue se kiyun dikh rhe ho?
tabiyat toh thik hei na tumhari? ... she was shooting the queries continuously and he was blankly watching her , she was sitting lazily on couch with a bowl filled with pakodas in her lap and in other hand was remote surfing channels on TV.
Abhijeet- Tarika! Tum yaha baithkr PAKODE kha rhi ho ? ... surprise was clearly seen in his voice and on face.
Tarika smiled sheepishly and headed towards the couch - han , aaj na pakode khaneka bda mood ho rha tha toh bna liye , tum baitho na, tumhare liye bhi lati hun .
Abhijeet came near her - tum yaha pkode khate hue TV dekh rhi ho . aur mein samza tumhari tabiyat thiknhi.
Tarikaturned back to him - abhijeet ho kya gya hein tumhe ? phone pr bhi muze puch rhe the ki main kesi hun?.
Abhijeet held her wrist - Tarika ! tum phone par bat krte hue ro rhi thi na? aur uprse muze hi puch rhi ho ki ho kya gya hei muze ?.
Tarika questioned confusingly - mein ro rhi thi ?
Abhijeet - dekho mene apne kanose suna hei tum muzse chupchup kr sisak ( sob ) .. rhi thi . ( He cupped her face ) ... sach batao tarika mere call se pehlese hi tum ro rhi thi na? muze sunai na de isiliye control kr rhi thi na tum?
suddenly something clicked in Tarika' s mind - oh woh! ... ( holding both his hands with her hands ) Abhijeet woh mein ro nhi rhi thi , tumhara phone anese pehle mein pakode ke liye pyaz kat rhi thi aur woh pyaz baht tikha tha , Meri amkhose pain nikal diya ..usi waqt tumne phone kiya , fir mene phone speaker par dalkar ek taraf pyaz kat rhi thi aur tumse bat bhi kr rhi thi . isiliye tumhe lga ki mein ro rhi hun.
hearing her explanation Abhijeet exclaimed - kya? tum pyaz kat rhi thi isliye muze lga ki tum ..
Tarika instantly completed his sentense - Abhijeet , mein sach me ro nhi rhi thi . ( she realized something )
Hey ! isi liye tum bhage hue yaha chale aye ? .. ( He nodded innocently , she smiled widely seeing his concern ) ... lekin yeh toh achhi bat ho gyi , wese bhi meIn akele bore ho rhi thi par abtum aa gye ho toh aao , dono milkr pakode khayenge . .. lo taste karo ? and she brought one pakoda closer to his mouth.
unmindfully , he looked at her once and then at that pakoda .
khao na ! ... she insisted .
unknowingly his mouth opened.
THE END.
