~~~ Itni si baat hai…mujhe tumse pyar hai ~~~
It was 1:30 of night. Shreya was sleeping in her room, when she heard her mother calling her or rather say screaming for help.
Being a cid officer she is always alert. A pin drop sound is enough to make her awake. She opened her eyes with a jerk, and got up.
"Shreyaaa... Aaahhh..." Her mom called her wincing in pain.
"Mummy...!" Shreya immediately turned the lights on and ran downstairs. She rushed towards her mother's room.
"Mummy... Kya hua, aap theek to hain?" Shreya said entering the room. She went and held her mother by her shoulders.
"Aaahhh...shreya, bahut dard ho raha... Hai...aaahh.." Her mom said placing her hand near her heart.
"Mummy...don't worry, kuch nahi hoga, main hu na. Main doctor ko call karti hu." Shreya said and immediately dialled doctor's number, but unfortunately it was out of reach.
Shreya was panicked seeing her beloved mom moaning in pain. Her eyes filled with tears and forehead got covered with sweat drops.
"Oh...no...kya karu, papa bhi ghar pe nahi ...doctor ka bhi phone nahi lag raha." She ran to her mother and hugged her. "Mummy don't worry.. Main kuch karti hu, relax!" She said and thought for a moment.
She rubbed her tears and dialled daya's number which was kept on speed dial on her cellphone.
Daya was sleeping peacefully when his cellphone started ringing. He became annoyed.
"Itni raat ko kaun pareshan kar raha hai." He grabbed the cell kept on the nearby table and received it without seeing the caller Id.
"Hello" he said in a sleepy voice, but the next moment His eyes opened automatically as he heard shreya crying over the phone.
"Shreya... Kya baat hai, tum...tum theek to ho na?" He asked getting up.
"Sir, please help me, mummy ko phir se seene me dard ho raha hai. Papa ghar pe nahi hain. Doctor ka phone bhi nahi lag raha. Mere paas gadi bhi nahi hai. I don't know what to do? Mummy ko turant hospital le Jana hoga. Itni raat ko samajh me nahi aa raha kya karu?" Shreya said in one breath while sobbing continuously.
"Shreya, tum bilkul mat ghabrao, main abhi turant aata hu. Tum unke paas baitho, I am coming." He said grabbing his car keys.
"Thank you sir!" Shreya said in a teary voice disconnecting the call. She rushed to her mother who had become unconscious by then.
Within few minutes daya reached there. Both daya and shreya immediately took shreya's mother to hospital.
Doctor stooped daya and shreya outside taking shreya's mother inside for treatment.
Shreya sat on the bench. She was in her night gown. She buried her face in her palms and started sobbing. Daya went and sat beside her. He kept a soft hand on her shoulder.
"Shreya! Please don't cry, kuch nahi hoga tumhari maa ko. She'll be fine. " he said in a low voice gently pressing her shoulder.
Shreya didn't look at him but rubbed her tears and stopped sobbing. She composed herself and turned to him.
"Sir, Itni raat ko aapko disturb kiya... I am really sorry!" She said with an apologizing look.
Daya nodded his head, "shreya, kaisi baate kar rahi ho, kya tumhari maa, meri maa jaisi nahi hai? Ye sorry aur thanks bolkar mujhe sharminda mat Karo please."
Shreya looked downwards and then again looked up at him, "sir aap ghar jaiye, so leejiye, 2 baj rahe hain. Main yahi rukti hu, subeh tak mummy ko discharge mil jayega."
As soon she finished daya spoke up, "main kahi nahi ja raha hu. Jab tak tumhari mom ko discharge nahi mil jata, main yahi rukuga, ok." He said strictly.
Shreya looked at him and said nothing. She supported her head with the backrest and closed her eyes. Daya saw her relaxed and he too leaned his back against the backrest of the bench and closed his eyes, maintaining an appropriate distance from shreya.
In the morning, daya opened his eyes and turned to shreya only to find her sleeping resting her head on the headrest. Daya agitated her gently by her shoulders calling her name. Shreya opened her eyes and looked at him.
"Sir... Subeh ho gayi?" She said rubbing her eyes.
"Ha...tum utho, Jake apni mummy ke paas baitho, main kuch khane ko lekar aata hu." Daya said softly.
Shreya nodded and moved towards her mother's ward. While daya left to get some snacks.
after sometimes daya returned with some fruit juices and sandwiches for shreya. He entered the ward and found shreya talking to her mother.
"Shreya, ye lo juice pee lo aur kuch kha lo." He said giving her the packets and turned to her mother, "aur auntie, ab kaisi tabiyat hai aapki?"
"Abhi to bahut theek hai beta, agar tum nahi hote to.." Her mom was saying when daya cut her.
"Are auntie, ab aap bhi na, beta bhi kehti hain aur ehsaan bhi manti hain." Daya said with a disappointed face.
Shreya's mom smiled at him. Shreya looked at daya and admired him.
"Sir, aapne kuch khaya?" She asked daya.
"Ha main juice Pikar aa raha hu, tum kha lo, meri fikar mat Karo." Daya said looking at her.
"Sir lekin sirf juice pikar thodi na chalta hai... Aap ye sandwiches bhi khaiye." Shreya said unwrapping the pieces of sandwiches.
"Shreya, mujhe kuch khas bhookh nahi hai, tum kha lo." Daya said refusing to take the sandwiches.
"Sir at least ek to kha leejiye." Shreya said glaring at him this time.
Daya looked into her eyes, and silently took the sandwiches.
Shreya's mom who was witnessing all this silently was just smiling at both of them.
Meanwhile shreya got a call from her dad.
"Theek hai papa, aap aram se aaiye, ha chinta ki koi baat nahi hai. Mummy abhi bilkul theek hain. Han main yahi hu abhi, aur daya sir bhi hain sath me, so don't worry, aap aram se aaiye." She finished her call and turned to her mom.
"Papa ki call thi, wo bas aa rahe hain, meri call ke baad bahut ghabra gaye the na."
"To shreya, tumhe unhe pareshan karne ki kya jarurat thi, koi bhi ghbra jayega, tumhare Rone ki aawaj sunkar." Daya said sweetly scolding her.
Shreya's mom smiled, "sahi kaha beta, waise to badi strong banti hai, aur jara sa meri tabiyat kya kharab hui, Rone lagti hai pagal."
"Jara si tabiyat kharab hui thi? Aap to chup hi rahiye mummy, aapko pata bhi hai main kitna dar gayi thi." Shreya said sadly.
Daya smiled and they were talking when someone entered the ward giving shreya almost a shock.
"Shreya...shreya..." The person shouted.
Shreya looked at him , "siddharth tum yaha?" She asked shockingly.
Siddharth was about to say something when he spotted daya there. He glared at him and then at shreya.
"Shreya, auntie ko hospitalize Karna pada aur tumne mujhe bataya tak nahi. Wo to uncle ne mujhe phone karke yaha aane ko bola warna mujhe to pata hi nahi chalta." He shouted at her.
Daya was silently glancing at both shreya and siddharth. Shreya looked at daya and tried to say something but siddharth gave her a look and moved to her mother.
"Auntie aap theek hai na, kisi cheej ki jarurat to nahi." He asked holding her hand.
Shreya's mother smiled at him, "beta main bilkul theek hu, ghabrao mat."
Daya was feeling awkward now, he asked an excuse and moved out. Shreya sadly looked at him going away. She too moved behind him.
"Sir..." She called him from behind.
Daya stopped and turned.
"Sir aap ja rahe hain?" Shreya asked approaching him.
"Shreya, tumne siddharth ko inform kyun nahi kiya?" Daya questioned back.
Shreya looked at him totally puzzeled, "sir us waqt main itna ghabra gayi thi, mere paas itna waqt hi nahi tha ki main siddharth ko inform kar pati." Shreya said but siddharth too came there and cut her in between.
"Right! Sahi kaha shreya, tumhare paas mujhe inform karne ka waqt nahi tha, lekin daya ko inform karne ka waqt tha?" He said smirking at her.
"Siddharth, us what mujhe ek quick help ki jarurat thi, daya sir ka number speed dial pe tha to maine unhe call kiya help ke liye, phir turant mummy ko hospital lekar aana pada aur tumhe inform karne ka waqt hi nahi mila, it's so simple, is baat ka issue banne ki koi jarurat nahi, ok!" Shreya said a bit angrily.
"Oh I see, daya ka number speed dial pe? Kyun aur bhi to friends aur colleagues hain na tumhare, phir daya hi humesha tumhari friendliest me top par kyun rehta hai?" He yelled at shreya.
Daya came in between both of them keeping shreya behind him. "Siddharth, dekho is terah se chillao mat, tum is what hospital me ho. Aur ye kya faltu ki bakwas kiye ja rahe ho tum han, shreya ne bola na ki use waqt nahi mila inform karne ka, tum rai ka pahad kyun bana rahe ho?" Daya said in a calm voice. But siddharth was boiling in anger.
"Main rai ka pahad bana raha hu? Main sirf jawab maang raha hu apni hone wali bivi se, ki uski zindagi me meri kya importance hai? Tumhe pata bhi hai, shreya mujhse kis terah se baat karti hai? Are theek se baat Karna to door, wo to meri shakal tak nahi dekhna chahti. Aisa kya kiya hai maine han? Use mere sath ghumne jana pasand nahi. Humesha kaam ka bahana. Mera uske kareeb aana pasand nahi. Pucho isse, aaj tak usne kabhi mujhe apna hath bhi pakadne diya hai, are hath chodo ek ungli tak chune ka hak nahi diya mujhe. Maine kya kuch nahi kiya ye jatane ke liye main usse kitna pyar karta hu, lekin wo, use meri koi kadar nahi. Aur ye main to kya koi bhi aadmi bardasht nahi kar sakta ki jis ladki se wo shadi karne wala hai, uski zindagi me usse jyada khas koi aur hai." Siddharth burst out in frustration and left from there throwing an angry look to both daya and shreya.
Daya tried to stop him but he was out of reach. He turned and looked at shreya. Shreya didn't make any eye contact with him. She moved towards her mother's ward leaving daya standing still.
Daya was about to go behind her when he got a call from abhijeet.
"Daya, kab tak aa rahe ho? Ek jaruri kaam tha!" Came abhijeet's voice.
"Abhijeet wo actually abhi main city hospital me hu. Kal raat shreya ki maa ki tabiyat jara kharab ho gayi thi to bas shreya ke sath unhe lekar hospital aana pada. Abhi thodi der me unhe discharge mil jayega. Tum acp sir ko inform kar dena ki aaj shreya aa nahi payegi, aur main bas discharge mil jata hai to bas aata hu bureau." Daya told the situation to abhijeet.
"Oh achha.. Achha.. To abhi kaisi hain shreya ki maa, jyada serious to nahi, tum bhi ek kaam Karo, shreya ke sath raho, use help ki jarurat hogi, main acp sir se baat kar lunga." Abhijeet said.
"Are nahi abhijeet, main aa raha hu bureau." Daya said.
"Are yaar bola na maine tum wahi ruko, ek din tum nahi aaoge, to kya main bureau nahi sambhal pauga." Abhijeet said sarcastically.
Daya laughed at this, "achha chalo theek hai, main baad me baat karta hu tumse." He said disconnecting the call, and moved towards the ward where shreya's mom was.
He was about to enter when he heard her mother talking to shreya.
"Daya kitna achha ladka hai na shreya, jis bhi ladki se uski shadi hogi, wo bahut kismat wali hogi, hai na." Her mother said smiling.
Shreya too gave her a fake smile, " han." and started slicing the apples.
Daya entered the ward.
"Aao beta, tumhare bare me hi baate kar rahi thi. " her mom said smiling at daya.
Daya took a glance at shreya and smiled but shreya didn't look at him. "han, abhi bahut baate ho gayi, ab chupchap aram kariye, jab dekho bolti rehti hain bas" shreya said stuffing an apple slice into her mouth.
Her mom took the slice in her hand and looked at daya. "To tumhe mere bolne se kya pareshani hai, main to daya se baat kar rahi hu. Daya beta, tum kaho to main tumhare liye ek achhi si ladki dhundh kar shreya ke sath sath tumhari bhi shadi karwa du." her mom said chuckling.
Daya smiled and opened his mouth to say something when shreya squealed holding her index finger.
"Ouchh!"
Daya looked at her and found blood oozing out from her finger.
"Oh no shreya... Ye kya kiya tumne." He immediately rushed to her and held her hand.
"Shreya beta tumhara dhyan kaha rehta hai aajkal. Main bol rahi hu kabse par nahi seb Katne me lagi hui hai. Kaat li na ungli. Her mother scolded her. "Daya beta dekhna jara aur ye siddharth kaha chala gaya?"
"wo doctor ke paas gaya hai aapki report lene" shreya told without looking at her.
"Ek minute shreya, chalo tum mere sath, dressing karwa deta hu." daya said still holding her hand. Shreya obeyed him silently and they both moved outside.
