Bulbul moved into Tarika's room and sits on the bed gloomily. Tarika glances at her…
"Kya hua Bulbul? Itna udaas kyun ho?"
"Aapki beti jab dekho mujhe dantti rehti hai… Prachi aunty ne gift diya, wahi toh khol rahi thi. Fir bhi dant diya." Bulbul replies sadly.
Tarika smiles…."Acha kahan hain teri mumma? Aaj main usey dantti hoon." She says.
Bulbul looks at her innocently…"Sachi? Aap mumma ko samjhao ki wo aise ni dante. I am a big girl now." She said.
Tarika smiles and pats her cheeks when she saw Ruhana rushing to her room. She could feel her upset, then looks at Bulbul…
"beta, tum yahin baitho, main aati hoon."
Bulbul nods and Tarika moved to her daughter's room. She knocked on the door..
"Ruhana beta, darwaza khol."
.
But she didn't get any reply. She knocked again, and this time, the door opened. She entered in and found Ruhana sitting on the bed. She moved to her and kept her hand on her head. Ruhana hugs her in the next instant. Tarika pats her back and parts the hug…Ruhana looks at her…
"Kyun mumma….kyun? Jo baat main bhulna chahti hoon, wo baar baar mere saamne kyun aa jaati hain? Aapne toh kaha tha ki ab kuch galat nahi bhi ho hi raha hain. Jo ho gaya, why can't people forget it? Life meri hain, logon ko kya takleef hain usse?" she said while crying.
"Ruhana shaant ho ja…" Tarika tried to calm her patting her cheeks.
"Aap hi bata do maa main kya karu? Aaj toh sirf Prachi aayi thi…..usne wo saare zakhm kured diye jo bahut mushkil se bhare they….shayad bhare bhi nahi they, lekin haan, main unhe bhul zarur gayi thi. Lekin main nahi chahti ki ab kuch ho…..mujhmein kisi ke sawalon ke jawab dene ki himmat nahi hai maa…" she said and was crying hugging her cushion.
Tarika knew what her daughter was going through. She sat beside her and smears her head. Ruhana looks at her…
"Maine kaha tha na maa….kuch sahi nahi hoga. Maanti hoon ki Vineet hain mere sath , lekin maa…..suna toh pehle bhi maine hi tha aur aaj bhi mujhe hi sunna hoga." She said.
Tarika too had tears in her eyes but she controlled herself. She made Ruhaan face herself and cupped her face…
"Beta, main sab jaanti hoon, lekin jo ho chukka hai , usey toh hum nahi badal sakte. Hum sirf itni koshish kar sakte hain ki hum humare aaj ko behtar banaye. Main jaanti hoon tere mann mein kya chal raha hain, lekin tujhe khud ko sambhalna hoga. Aur tu akeli nahi hain, tere mumma papa tere sath hain humesha….tu jaanti hain na?" she said. Ruhana just nodded.
Tarika pulls her in a hug. ….Ruhana whispered in the hug….
"aapke aur papa ke wajah se hi toh main aaj yahan hoon maa….varna shayad jo main krne ja rahi thi…."but she was interrupted by a voice….
"kya karne ja rahi thi? "
The ladies turned to the voice and found Bulbul on the door…Ruhana rubbed off her tears and looked at her…
"Kuch nahi beta.."
"Nai nai…aap bulbul se kuch nahi chhupa sakti….bolo kya karne wali thi ap?" Bulbul stood in front of her.
Ruhana smiles slightly….."Wo main tumhe fir kabhi bataungi. Kahan ja rahi ho waise?" she asked looking at her.
"Bade nanu aur Maasi ke sath walk pe." She quickly kissed her on her cheek and left the room.
Ruhana sighed. Tarika turned to her…
"tune dekha bulbul kitni khush hain. Tujhe uske liye khud ko strong karna hoga. Ab tujhe wo karna hai jo tere liye, Vineet ke liye aur Bulbul k liye sahi hain." She said.
Ruhana was sitting and listening to her. Tarika looked at her…
"Jo hua, usey bhool ja. Yeh sach sirf hum jaante hain, aur koi nahi. Aur jab tak tum teenon saath mein ho, tab tak kuch galat nahi hoga." She said.
Ruhana nodded. Tarika wiped off her tears…"muh dho ke bahar aa jao. Vineet bhi aata hi hoga. He called to tell me ki wo 7 baje tak aa jayega." She said.
Saying so, she left the room. Ruhana moved into the washroom and splashed some water on her face. She was still upset and therefore, tears made way out of her eyes. She composed herself, washed her face, and moved out. She looked at herself in the mirror. For a few seconds, she saw her past in front of her eyes…many questions and only taunts. She screamed….
.
A while later, she gained consciousness. She opened her eyesand suddenly felt a stroking pain in her head. She closed her eyes. She opened her eyes on a warm touch on her head. She looked to her side to find Tarika sitting close to her. She made her sit properly, when Bulbul came to her…
"Mumma, kya hua? Aap chillaye kyun they?" she asked.
Ruhana shivered. She realized what she saw and what made her scared. She looked around to find a worried Abhijeet. He turned to Bulbul…
"Kuch nahi hua beta….tumhari mumma ki tabiyat thik nahi thi na isliye." He tried to convince.
"Lekin mumma ne mujhe kuch nahi bataya. Nai toh main walk par nahi jaati." She said innocently.
Vineet entered in the room and smeared Bulbul's head…." Chalo bulbul….hum ghar jayenge…aap bahar jao….main mumma ko leke aata hoon." He said.
She nodded and rushed out of the room. Abhijeet turned to Vineet….
"Vineet, tumhe pareshani toh hogi lekin you have to make sure that Ruhana ko kisi baat ka koi stress na ho….jo aaj hua, wo kyun hua yeh tum bhi jaante ho, lekin zyada stress harmful ho sakta hain." He said.
"Aap chinta mat kijiye…main khayal rakhunga. Ab kuch galat toh nahi hoga." He said looking at both Abhijeet and tarika.
Tarika nodded..." is waqt sirf tum hi baat sambhal sakte ho Vineet….. Please handle it…main apni beti ko is haalat mein nahi dekh sakti Vineet."Tarika said tearily.
He looked at her and then at Ruhana who was staring the floor blankly. He knew what happened and why it happened. He assured her parents and took her home.
.
Their journey to home was silent. It was only Bulbul who was speaking. She looked at him….
"Papa …aapko pata hain aaj fir se mumma ne mujhe danta….Wo mumma ki friend hai na Prachi aunty….wo aayi thi….lekin mumma ne mujhe unke samne danta." She complained to him.
Vineet was surprised to hear prachi'sname….he uttered…"prachi."
"aap bhi jaante ho unko? Wo buri hain…unhone mumma ko fir se pareshan kiya." She said.
To bulbul, it was only her mother's friend, who made her upset and she didn't like it. Vineet was surprised and by the time, they had reached home. Bulbul rushed inside the house and was playing with Bruno, who seemed to wait for her. Ruhana moved silently to her room. Bulbul called her for something , but she was left unheard. Bulbul sighed and turned to her father…
"Papa! Yeh mumma ko kya hua? Sham se bulbul se thik se baat bhi nahi ki." She complained.
Vineet smiles…."Koi baat nahi princess….papa hain na. Batao kya chahiye?"
"Kuch nahi…..Aap dono se baat karni thi, lekin mumma ne danta toh?" she asked.
He smiled…."Ab mumma nahi dantengi. Acha tum apne room mein jao….main mumma se baat karta hoon."
" main karu mumma se baat?" she asked.
He couldn't deny her and so she rushed into her room. She found her standing near the window. She stood near her. Ruhana came out of her trance and looked at her daughter.
"Kya hua beta?"
"Aapko kya hua? Aaj fir se Prachi aunty ne kuch kaha?" she asked.
Ruhana looked at her for a few seconds and turned to other side. Bulbul held her hand…
"Mumma batao na….. Ye prachi aunty chahti kya hain? Jab dekho aa jati hain aur aapko pareshan karke jaati hain." She said angrily.
"han beta, kuch logon ka kaam hi yahi hota hain…dusron ko pareshan karna." Ruhana replied.
"But kyun mumma? Unhe toh mujhse bhi problem hain? Kyun?" she asked.
"Kyunki wo shuru se aisi hain beta….Acha tumhe sona nahi hai, jao, kal school bhi jaana hain." She said changing the topic.
" Main so jaungi mumma…pehle aap batao, unhone aapse kya kaha?" she asked again.
Ruhana went to sit on the bed…."Bulbul …yeh sab aapko jaanne ki zarurat nahi hain." She said.
Bulbul sighed….."Mumma please….batao na…..next time jab wo aayengi na…..main unhe unke muh pe jawab dungi…jab dekho aa jaati hain aapko pareshan karne." She said.
Ruhana looked at her and smiled a little, but then her hand automatically reached her head. She felt some pain. Bulbul panicked and before she could call Vineet, Ruhana was again unconscious.
She called her father….Vineet came in running… She told him that she was just asking her something and suddenly she went unconscious. Vineet, too, panicked, but asked Bulbul to go to her room while he called the doctor again.
