Morning , in the bank .
...
"Arey , yeh toh bahot hi bura hua. .. par yeh anhoni kb hui , hume toh pta bh inhi chala."...
"Han yar , kal tk toh bhali – changi thi , achanak se kal rat me unke sine me dard utha , Sahay ji ne Ambulance ke liye phone kiya tha pr Ambulance ane se phle hi unhone dam tod diya ."...
...
Tariaka came towards the desk along with Shreya , where the ladies were busy in such discussion.
"Oh! Sach me bahot hi bura hua , Mrs. Sahay janese phle apni beti ko bhi nhi mil payi , wo bhi time pr nhi pahunch payi ."..
Shryea – "Kya hua ? .. sab itne seriously kya bat kr rhe hei?" ... and she looked at the males group gathered one side and seriously discussing the same issue .
One lady – "tumhe nhi pta ? .. Mrs .Sahay ki kal rat heart attack se death ho gyi ".
"Oh god! ... kab? ... Aor Sahay ji ?" ... the reply came .
"Patni ki mout se Bechare Sahayji puri trha tut chuke hei ... ro –rokr bura hal kr liya hei unhone ."..
"Han , apni patni se kitna pyar krte the na? ... humesha Gangaji .. Gangaji ... krke unke bareme hi bate krte the" ...
Abhijeet too came and heard the news from other employees about Mrs .Sahay 's sudden demise ... and were feeling sorry for ... the discussion went on .
The day passed quite sadly , evening again the topic raised when all of them returned from the funeral procession . the scene in cemetery was very shocking , Mr. Sahay had became irresistible while setting afire to pyre and tried to enter inside the flames , surrounding people some how controlled him but then he fell into unconsciousness .
"Poor soul ! ... kitna pyar krte he apni biwi se ... pta nhi ab akele age ki zindagi kese gujarenge ?" ... someone mumbled and others nodded remembering his wail .
...
...
For some days , the news constantly came that he had cut himself from rest of the world and closed himself inside the house .
...
After near about fifteen days ,
He rejoined the duty , all members gathered around him .
Cashier - "Sahay ji ! ... Achhe hua , apne firse kam pr ana shuru kr diya ."... sahay smiled gloomily and went to his desk.
Tarika had tears while seeing his messy , condition .
Tarika – "Mrs. Sahay bahot lucky thi , unhe itna pyar krnewala pati mila jo unke jane ke bad bhi har ek pal unhe yad krta hei ."
...
...
At another side , Abhijeet was worried for Raju , He recalled that day when ,
Raju climbed down the school bus , and started walking towards society gate ... suddenly heard .
" Raju !" ...
The smile on the callers face replaced by surprise when Raju didn't stop as he expected but instead , his pace increased .
"Raju!" ... Again he called loudly and immediately rushed to him .
"Raju ... mei tumhe kabse awaz de rha hun ... kya apne muze suna nhi?" ... Abhijeet asked holding the kids shoulder . he turned facing him . Raju looked up in his eyes and lowered his face .
Abhijeet kneeled down before him and asked – "Raju , kya hua? ... Apne Dad ko nhi bataoge?" ... the love and concern in his voice broke his patience and hugging him , he started crying .
Abhijeet remained silent , ruffling his hair .
Raju said while sobbing – "dad , mene Mom se promise kiya hei ki Apse kbhi bat nhi krunga . sorry Dad .. Ab Aap muzse naraz hoge na? "
Abhijeet picked him up and wiped his tears off – "no beta , infact I am happy , Apne uss din momse sach kaha aor aaj bhi muzse sach hi bola."
Raju – "Dad , mei Aap donoke sath rehna chahta hun , please ."
Abhijeet pecked his fore head – "muze bhi aap dono ke sath rehna hei , par iske liye aapko meri help krni padegi , kroge?" ...
Raju - "help?" ...
Abhijeet - "han , help . mei apko jo bolunga, bas use krte jaiye . fir jaldi hi hum teeno bhi sath honge ."
Raju – "really dad?"
Abhijeet – "yes my son ."
And they hugged each other ...
Abhijeet pov – "Muze bhi tum dono ke sath rehna hei , beta ... par ?"
...
...
Flashback ...
...
She was preparing dinner , and her mind was immersed in that ecstatic news ! .. she wondered , why she was smiling every now and then that feeling of life growing within her body thrilled her .
She was too excited to convey him , that they together are handing over an existence to a new life.
Tarika glared his pic on the wall , he was smiling cutely through it .
Tarika – "Abhijeet ! kab aoge tum? .. Ab or intezar nhi hota ."
...
Her hand softly touched her belly , she shivered on some unknown feeling .
...
door bell rang , she literally hopped to open it ,
Tarika complained with a sweet smile –. "kitni der kar di, Abhijeet .mei kabse intezar kr rhi thi."
Abhijeet – " hmm."... and he entered in side silently .
Tarika took his briefcase – "pta hei tumhe ? Aaj mei bahot kush hun. Tum sunoge toh tum bhi bahot khush ho jaoge"
She went on blabbering in excitement , didn't even noticed his silence who started removing his coat .
.. And she stopped realizing him lost somewhere... he didn't reply to her and headed towards their room at once ..
Tarika surprised – "Abhijeet ? .. ise kya hua?"
...
She followed him in the room . found him sitting at the edge of the bed with holding his head in both his hands .
"Abhijet ? .. kya hua?" ..Tarika sat beside him, concern was peeping in her voice . .
"Tabiyat thik nhi? Sir me dard hei?" ... she touched his forehead ,,
Abhijeet got up – "Tarika ,mei bahot thak gya hun, please I need some rest , let me go and get freshen up "...and he moved to washroom .
Tarika shrugged her shoulders – "han ,toh thik hei na."
Tarika went to cupboard and remove his cloths from hangers .she kept them on bed and said .
Tarika – "Abhijeet , tumhare kapde nikal ke rkh diye hei ,fresh hokr bahar aa dinner lga deti hun .khana khakr jaldi so jana ."
...
They finished their dinner ,viz Abhijjet silently and tarika starring him constantly .
...
Tarika entered in the bed room ...and came to the dressing table , she started combing her hair
While , he was laying on the bed , resting his head to the wall ,Every now and then , he was rubbing his fore head with his right hands thumb and index finger . his vision was fixed at ceiling at an unknown point . She was very well aware of this of his behavior, when ever he had tension or else like , he opted to repeat such act .
Tarika looked at him through the mirror – "Abhijeet ! Aaj ek bdi strange bat hui.!.,.pta hei ?, mein sham ko jub DIVYA ko phone kr rhi thi na ,"
Suddenly Abhijeet sat on the bed and asked stammering – "kyon? . kyon kr rhi thi tum use phone?"
Her hands stopped , her eyes were observing each of his activity ,, he was unnaturally restless .. his anxiety... much uncomfort .. she felt it strange .
Tarika turned back facing him , and said softly – "Tum aaj uske ghar jane wale the na? .. uske marhum pati ki insurance policy ke paise lekaar. Toh socha use bat kr lu ... par tumhe achanakse kya hua?"
Abhijeet heaved a sigh of relief – "nn nahi , kuch nahi .usne kya kaha? "
And he reclined back taking support one of his hand below his head ..
Tarika asked little loudly - "aaj ho kya rha hei ? .. yahan tum ise behave kar rhe ho .. or udhar wo? .. Divya bhi thikse jawab nhi de rhi thi ..bahot sahmi hui si lag rhi thi . or jab mene tumhare ane ke bare me pucha toh usne phone hi kat diya ! .. isn't that weird ? "...she looked at him in order to get response but he was seemed not to have interest . ...
Tarika - "leave it .".
. tarika came to him ,and laid beside him , she moved closer to him and rested her head on his chest wrapping her one hand around him .
Tarika kissed on his neck – "thak gye na? bahot kam tha kya aaj ? "
Abhijeet's hand went on her back and started caressing her . "hmmm"
She remained silent and let herself feel his touch .
Abhijeet – "Tarika ? "
Tarika – "hmm"
Abhijeet – "muze tumse kuch kahna hei."
She realized his hands stopped roaming her body .
Abhijeet – "muze kuch confess krna hei "... the first sentence echoed in her ears ..." mei Aaj Divya ke ghar gya tha .. or ... or ..maine jan buzkr kuch nhi kiya , please .muze galat mat samazna" ... his words stuck in his mouth , he felt his throat dried .
Tarika separated herself from him .. she sat back on the bed and unknowingly , moved bit away from him , her mind was alerting her something .. her eyes were widened with a unknown scare .. no .. this wont happen.! .he wont do this to me !.. .her heart tried to interfere .
Tarika – "k.. kya hua Abhijeet ? .please , bolo , kya kiya tumne ? ..muze darr lg rha hei .. please . bolo" ...her raising fear peeped through her words ..
Abhijeet didn't have courage to meet with fierce in her eyes – "muzse ek bhool ho gyi , Tarika ".
Tarika suddenly came closer him and cupped his face ,.. she kept on asking him crazily – "kya? ..kya hua wahan ? Ann...bolo , kya kiya tumne? "
Abhijeet was still searching for proper words – "m..m.. mei .. aor .. .Divya ..we both ... pta nhi , kese hua ? ... par we both got carried away in emotions ."
"woh ? .. use apne pati ki yad aa rhi thi or woh rone lagi ... mei uske pass jakar use samzane ki koshish kr rha hta ... fir.. samaz hi nahi aaya or... Achanak .. ekdmse woh muzse lipatkr rone lagi ...meri ankho ke samne ekdm andhera sa cha gya tha ... aor jb muze hosh aaya , mei .".. ( he tightly closed his eyes ) ... "uske bed me ... "
" muzse galti ho yi , Tarika! please , forgive me ."..he gripped her hand in both of his hands .. "mene janbuzkr kuch nhi kiya .. it happened accidently "... his words were abruptly piercing her heart , she remained rooted at the place, .like a statue ,
"Abhijeet !.".. he felt a jolt when her raised hand moved .
It took some time for him to recover from that shock.. Sensing his cheek burning ... his hand touched his red cheek and he looked at her in unbelief. ,she too was starring her own still raised hand with red widened eyes .. hot tears were running from her eyes constantly.
And suddenly , she glared him . sparks of grudges were emitting off her red , moist eyes .
"Tarika? ... ruko .. please .".. he dragged himself behind her , who ran out side the room .
...
Flash back ends ...
...
...
...
In present ...
The darkness surrounded the environment .
Tarika was standing in window ..she looked over her shoulder , Raju was sleeping peacefully snuggling a teddy .
Tarika pov – "Meri zindagi ka sabse khoobsurat din tha woh! .MAA banne ke ehsas ki khushi ! . tumhare ate hi tumse apni khushi bantna chahti thi mei ! ..or tumne kya kiya? ... meri khushi ko apne pairo tale rond kr chale gye ,.. bhool ? huh !"
She brushed her flowing tears off .
"Abhijeet ? "... her eyes again brimmed up .
...
...
...
And now , the next evening ,
"Mom ! ... yeh envelop bahar door pr tha "... when Tarika opened the door , Raju quickly forwarded it to her and ran inside . Tarika looked at him and then at the envelop in her hand.
It was a simple white envelop with only two words written on it, ... " ONE MONTH " ... sender's name was missing. But the neat lettering ? ... her heart knew ,who he must be?
With the trembling hands and throbbing heart , She opened it , and found two sheets attached with each other were neatly folded . his work is always very clean and neat! ... unwillingly she admires .
Her vision ran over that well recognized handwriting , and her eyes widened as she proceed reading ,...
" TARIKA ! ... my Darling! ... Tum mere pass wapas aao isliye Mene har mumkin koshish ki , par afsos! ... tum nhi mani .
Aaj bhi wohi zid ! .. wohi tewar! ... Aor wohi Masoomiyat ! ...
par tum yeh kese bhool gyi ki Agar tum nhi bdli ho toh mei bhi kese badal sakta hun ? ...
thik hei , tum apni man mrji krlo ... par mei bhi har nhi man sakta .
Mere pass wapas ane ke liye Tumhare pass EK MONTH hei ...
EK MONTH ? ...
jo sochna hei ...
jitna sochna hei ...
soch lo ! ...
...
...
Aor agar iss EK MONTH me TUM hara jawab han me nhi aya toh ?" ...
...
...
...
...
A long space was left empty .
The page ended ... she flipped to the next page .
...
"TOH ? ... month pura hone ke bad dusre hi din ? ... *********************
...
...
...
Sirf aor sirf TUMHARA hi" ...
...
...
She frustratingly rushed her vision till the lower end of the page . but alas! It was stainless. Again unintentionally her gaze crept up . that only line was festering her .
"Huh! ... Tum muze ek month ka time de rhe ho? ".. her irritation blurted out with many mixed emotions .
...
"Par Agar mei nhi mani toh , Woh esa kya krne wala hei?" ... she again read the same line ...
" TOH ? ... month pura hone ke bad dusre hi din ? " ... unknowingly few lines knitted on her forehead ... "dusre hi din kya ?"
Her legs took her to the balcony , few meters away , that closed door of bungalow remained mocking at her .
ONE MONTH ? ... par uske bad ? ... those two words kept on nibbling her mind .
...
