CHAPTER 7 ,
Next morning,
Siya woke up, got ready and went downstairs.
Siya went into the kitchen and found maasi working.
Siya- Maasi, sab kahan gaye? Koi dikhai kyun nhi de rha.
Maasi- Beta, tum so rahi thi na issliye kissi ne disturb nhi kiya. Wo, Acp sahab ka unn sab ko message aaya tha to urgently unhein subah jaldi jana para kaam par.
Siya- Kya? Sab chale gaye, wo bhi mujhse mile bina. Arre, yeh kya baat hui. Aur bhai! Wo kaise chale gaye..wo to kabhi meri haath ki bani chai piye bina nahi jaate.
" Beta, wo sab tumse mille bina kaise jaa sakte hain. Koi tumse mile bina nahi gaya. Sab jaane se pehle tumhare kamre mein gaye the, tumhe goodmorning bola aur phir gaye...Aur jahaan tak rahi baat chai ki to Kavin ne tumhe bolne ko kaha hai ki chai lekar bureau chali jana aur wo bhi sab ke liye.",Shaanta said.
Samjhii meri gudiya raani! And shaanta pulled her cheeks slightly.
Siya- Uuiii, maasiii mere gaal.
And both laughed.
Siya- Achaa maasi to main ek kaam karti hoon. Sabse pehle mandir chali jaungi phir bureau chali jaungi aur phir wahan se hi academy chali jaungi. Waahan bache mera wait kar rhe honge. Main kal bhi academy nhi gayi thi.
Maasi- Thik hai beta. Waise Siya..tujhe bacchon se bohot lagaaw hai na?
Siya- Bacchon se kisse lagaaw nhi hota maasi. Achaa ab main taiyaariyaan kar leti hoon.
And then she arranged the pooja thal , made tea for everyone and then left for mandir.
IN MUMBAI ,
Ishita- Purvi di jaldi chaliye na, sab humaara wait kar rhe honge mall mein. Hum bohot late hain. I am sure sab pohonch bhi gaye honge.
Purvi (came hurriedly)- Aa rahi hoon baba. Tu aadhe ghante pehle aane wali thi mujhe pick karne aur mujhe keh rahi hai jaldi karne. Ab kya main ghar bhi lock na karuun. Chal ab jaldi.
Ishita giggled.
Then they left for mall.
In mall, (Everyone was present there including Snehal and Manisha)
Riya- Yaar,yeh Purvi aur Ishita kahaan reh gayi.
Taarika- Pata nhi. I think aati hi hogi.
Then only both came.
Snehal- Lo aa gayi dono.
Purvi- Arre Snehal,tu aa gayi. Tujhe holiday par jaane ki permission milli kya?
Snehal- Haan Purvi, mil gayi .Abhi directly hospital se hi to aa rhi hoon.
Purvi- Chalo achaa hai.
Ishita- Arre, sab yunhi baat karte rahoge ya kuch shopping bhi karoge.
Dushyant (whispered)- Lo,Pankaj ho gayi shuru yeh sab.
Pankaj- Sir aapka to thik hai. Aap ki to abhi tak shaadi bhi nahi hui hai infact aapne to ishita ko abhi tak propose tak nhi kiya hai. Par mera, Abhijeet sir aur Freddy sir ka sochiye. Hum sab married hain. Humein to yeh sab humesha jhelna parta hai. Arre, Abhijeet sir aur Freddy sir ka to thik bhi hai, wo to senior hain par main to junior hoon na. Agar meri dadi mujhe force nhi karti to main itni jaldi kabhi shaadi nahi karta.
Dushyant laughed in slow voice.
Ishita- Kya khusur phusur kar rhe ho dono tabse aur kis baat pe itni hassi aa rahi hai aapko dushyant sir.
Pankaj-A..aa kuch nahi Ishu. Tum apni shopping karo na. Dekho wahan kitni achii dresses lagi hai.
Snehal- Ishita ne tumse kuch pucha? Nhi na, to tum kyun itna uchal rahe ho.
Dushyant- Arre nhi Pankaj kahan kuch kar rha hai.
Ishita- Ajeeb halat hai. Aapse question poochti hoon to Pankaj bolta hai aur Pankaj se sawaal poochti hoon to aap jawaab dete hain. Aakhir chal kya raha hai.
Pankaj- Arree..ai...
Purvi(irritated)- Guys stop it. Kitna larte ho tumlog. Jahaan dekho shuru ho jaate ho. Ab chalo sab shopping karne. Phir humein taiyaar hokar airport bhi timely pohonchna hai.
Snehal and Ishita saw Pankaj and Dushyant respectively with narrow eyes and went. Dushyant and Pankaj took a sigh of relief. Purvi sighed. Then all got engaged in shopping.
IN MATHURA,
Siya stepped out of the car and went inside the mandir.
Pandit ji- Arre, Siya bitiya..kaisi ho.
Siya- Achii hoon kaka. Aap batao.
Pandit ji- Main bhi theek hoon aur waise bhi tumhe dekhliya na ab aur achaa ho jaunga.
Siya smiled and said" kya kaka aap bhi."
Pandit ji- Arre bitiya..main aise hi thori kehta hoon. Mathura mein rehne wala har insaan tujhe apni beti ki tarah maanta hai. Tu hai hi itni achii. Humesha sab ki madad karti hai. Teri ek jhalak dekhkar hi logon ka din ban jata hai.
Siya- Chaliye aaj ke liye bohot hai haan.. Ab aur taarif mujhse digest nhi hogi. Ab pooja karlein.
Pandit ji laughed and said" Haan,chalo".
Siya (folding her hands and closing her eyes)- He kanha, jab se maine hosh sambhala hai tabse aapko poore mann se pooja hai maine. Kabhi aapse kuch bhi nahi maanga zindagi mein aajtak bohot kuch hua hai. itna ki ab isse bura kuch ho hi nhi sakta par kabhi bhi maine aapko dosh nhi diya kyunki mujhe pata hai ki aap jo karenge wo sahi hi hoga. Aaj bhi main aapse kuch nahi maangongi kanha, bas itna kehne aayi hoon ki jo sahi hai wohi ho mere saath. Main apne past ko bhulakar aage badhna chahti hoon kanha aur iss baar mujhe lagta hai ki shayad yahi sahi hai aur aap bhi yahi chahenge. Mujhe bas humesha sahi raah dikhate rehna.
She opened her eyes and turned towards panditji. He gave her the prashad and kept his hand on her head.
Pandit ji- Humesha khush raho beta. Bhagwaan tumhari har iccha poora kare. Beta bas humesha yeh yaad rakhna, zindagi mein humesha waisa nhi hota jaisa hum sochte hain. Humein lagta hai ki hum jo karne ja rahe hain ussimein sab ki bhalayi hai. Par kayi baar humaare bhagya mein kuch aur hi likha hota hai. Hum sochte kuch hain aur bhagwaan ne humaare liye kuch aur hi soch rakha hota hai.
Siya looked him in shock.
Siya- A..aap k..kya kehna...(but she was cut in the middle)
Pandit ji- Beta main bas itna kehna chahunga ki pyaar ki raah par chalne wale kabhi nahi haarte.
And then he left.
Siya (p.o.v)- Yeh kya keh kar gaye. Ab kya hone wala hai.
She was in deep thoughts when she received a call.
Siya (on call)- haan bhai.
Kavin (on call)- Kitni derr kar rahi hai Siya. Jaldi aa bureau, sab intezaar kar rhe..(he was cut in the middle)
Siya- Haan haan pata hai..mera intezaar kar rhe sab. After all sab ki fav jo huun.
Kavin- Ji nhi tera nahi. Chai ka wait kar rhe. Bye,aa jaldi.
Siya (annoyed)- Hunhh...and she cut the call and then left for bureau.
IN MUMBAI,
Ishita- Purvi di, main kaun si dress loon..yeh pink wali ya yellow wali?
Purvi- Amm..yellow wali.
Ishita- Ok. Waise aapne kaun kaun si dresses li?
Purvi- Nahi Ishu, maine nahi li. Mere paas already dresses hain
Ishita (rolled her eyes)- Kya di aapbhi. Aap humesha yahi bolte ho. Wait main aapke liye sundar sundar dresses select kar deti hoon
Purvi- Arre Ishu, rehne dena, mujhe..
Ishita- No arguments please.
Purvi smiled and then they both started choosing dresses for Purvi. Suddenly Purvi's gaze fell on a bracelett.
Purvi- Aa..Ishu tu dresses dekh main ek minute mein aayi.
Ishu- Par aap kahaan ja rhi hain.
Purvi- Tu rukna main abhi aayi.
And then Purvi left.
Here, Purvi picked a bracelett on which it was written 'Best friends forever'. Tears rolled down her memories of her past flashed in her mind.
FLASHBACK,
Purvi- Kya hua Shreya, itni udaas kyun hai? Ek bracelet hi to tha.
Shreya- I know wo sirf bracelett tha par mujhe wo chahiye tha. Maine socha tha hum dono humesha wo pehnenge. Wo humaari friendship ka symbol hota but wo to out of stock hi ho gaya.
She again became sad.
Purvi- Achaa, tu udaas mat ho. Mujhe teri aankhon mein aansoo bilkul nahi pasand. I promise, wo jabbhi dobara aayega na shop mein, main wo zaroor kharidungi..ek tere liye aur doosra mere liye. Okk?
Shreya- Sacchmein?
Purvi- Hmm, pakka.
And then both hugged each other.
FLASHBACK ENDS ,
Purvi started sobbing.
Purvi- Dekho na Shreya, yeh bracelett aaj itne saalon baad mujhe mil gayi finally par ab tum hi nahi ho mere paas to main pehnaun isse...I miss you Shreya..I miss you.
Ishita- Main bhi unhein bohot miss karti huun Purvi di.
Purvi wiped her tears and turned back
Purvi- Ishita tum..tum kab aayi.
Ishita- Jab aap Shreya di ki yaadon mein khoyi hui thi.
Purvi (downed her gaze )- Aisa kuch nahi hai Ishita.
Ishita- Achaa? To aap yeh bracelett dekhkar kisse yaad kar rahi thi.
Purvi unable to control her emotions palmed her face and cried. Ishita hugged her tightly.
Ishita- Mat roiye di. Chup ho jaiye. Mujhe laga tha ki aap bhi baakiyon ki tarah yeh sochti hain ki galti Shreya di ki hai par ab samajh aaya ki aap bhi meri tarah Shreya di ke saath hai.
Purvi came out of the hug .
Purvi- Ishu dekh, chaar saal pehle jo hua wo humari life ka most difficult phase tha. Sab ki life mein toofan aa gaya tha. Aur main..main to toot chuki thi. Mujhe kuch nahi samajh aa rha tha ki kya ho rha hai aur kyun ho raha hai. Par ab...she sighed.
Ishita- Di, to kya aap bhi meri tarah yeh maanti hain ki Shreya di par lagaye gaye ilzaam jhoothe the.
Purvi- Haan Ishu... Shreya mere saath kabhi kuch galat karna to duur wo aisa soch bhi nahi sakti hai. Uss din maine chup rehkar bohot bari galti ki thi. Uss din agar maine kuch kaha hota to shayad aaj yeh guilt mere andar nahi hoti. Shayad aaj sab sahi hota.
Ishita- Nahi di, aapki galti nahi thi. Aap ke saath uss samay itna kuch hua tha ki aap kuch soch hi nahi paa rahi thi. Par baaki sab? Baakiyon ne jo kiya wo bohot galat tha. Kya wo sab Shreya di ko nahi jaante? Phirbhi sab ne unke saath aise behave kiya aur daya sir..woto...Maine koshish ki thi Purvi di sab rokne ki par..and she started sobbing.
" Par akeli par gayi. Haina? I am sorry Ishu, mein uss din tumhara saath nahi de paayi. Main sadme mein thi uss samay... par mujhe uss mushkil samay mein himmat nahi khoni chahiye thi. Mujhe tumhara saath dena chahiye tha Shreya ko rokne mein" purvi cupped Ishita's face and said.
Ishita- To kya aap di se nafrat nahi karti hain. Kya aap bhi meri tarah di ke side hain.
Purvi(took a breath)- Haan Ishu, main Shreya ke saath hoon,main bhala Shreya se nafrat kaise kar sakti huun. Ek doosre ki aankhen padhna jaante the hum. Ek doosre ki har kahi ankahi baatein samajh jaate the hum. Par afsos iss baar main chukk gayi. Naahi main usski batein samajh paayi aur naahi unn dono ke plan ko aur jab mujhe samajh aaya tab tak bohot der ho chuki thi ishu..bohot derr.
She started crying..
Ishita- Di please stop crying. Aur plz aap aisa mat boliye..aapki galti nhi hai..aap to hosh mein hi nahi thi uss waqt.
Purvi- Kuch bhi ho Ishu galti meri hai. Meri dost ne mere liye itna kuch saha aur maine kya kiya. Wo mujhe samjhati rahi par main usski baat samajh hi nahi paayi. Agar pehle hi maine usski baat maan li hoti to yeh naubat hi nhi aati. Usski aankhen humesha mujhse kuch kehti thi par main sab ki baaton mein iss tarah uljhi ki sacchai samajh hi nahi saki.
Ishita- Di kya aapko Shreya di ki kahi hui har baat par vishwaas hai.
Purvi- Haan Ishu..main usspar shak kar hi nahi sakti. Ek pal ke liye bhi nahi. Duniya ka koi bhi saboot Shreya se mera vishwaas nhi hata sakta. Kabhi nahi. Wo bas ek bura waqt tha warna main Shreya ke saath wo sab hone hi nahi deti.
Ishita( shocked )- To matlab aap...
Purvi looked her for some seconds and then nodded her head living Ishita shocked
Ishita- Di isska matlab aap ..Di agar aisa hai to aap aise kyun behave karti hain. Aap aise dikhati hain humesha ki aap unhein bohot pasand karti hain. Aap Shreya di se itne saalon se nafrat ka dikhawa kyun kar rahi hain di?
Purvi- kyunki...
Daya- Arre Purvi, Ishita.
Both turned and found Daya standing.
Ishita- Hey bhagwaan, Daya bhai aapne sab sunn liya.
Purvi nudged her.
Daya ( confused )- Kya sunn liya Ishita?
Purvi- K..kuch nahi bhai..girls talk ..aapko nahi samajh aayegi.
Daya- Achaa wo sab chorro..tum logon ki shopping ho gayi ho to aajao. Hum sab tum dono ka car ke paas wait kar rahe hain.
Ishita- Ok aate hain. Aap jaiye.
Daya went and both took a sigh of relief.
Purvi- Paagal,kya bol rahi thi tu.
Ishu- Sorry, wo main darr gayi thi ki kahin bhai ne sab kuch sunn to nahi liya.
Purvi rolled her eyes.
Purvi- Chalo chorro ab. Chalo sab wait kar rahe hain humaara.
Ishita- Par di aapne mere sawaal ka jawaab nahi diya.
Purvi- Shhhh..chup kar. Ab close the topic. Yaad rahe yeh baatein tu kissi ko nahi bataegi. Dushyant ko bhi nahi.
Ishita- Di main kyun bataungi kissiko aur wo bhi Dushyant sir ko.
Purvi (smiled)- Kyunki tu unse pyaar karti hai.
Ishita blushed and said- Kya aap bhi di.
Purvi- Achaa ok. Ishita bas ek baat dhyaan se sunle. Kuch aisi waisi baatein mat karna. Bilkul normally rehna.
Ishita nodded and said- Ok di main samajh gayi.
Ishita- Di,yeh bracelett?
Purvi- Jab mein Shreya se milungi tab main usse dungi.
Ishita (with little fear in her eyes)- Agar wo kabhi milli hi nahi to?
Purvi ( smiled )- Aisa kabbhi nahi hoga. Mujhe vishwaas hai hum zaroor milenge aur ek baar phir sab saath honge.
Ishita- I hope so.
Both smiled. Purvi bought two braceletts and left.
IN CAR ,
Purvi( p.o.v )- Tumhe kya laga tha . Main apni dost ka saath nahi duungi? Aisa ho hi nahi sakta. Uss samay tumhari jeet hui thi kyunki shayad uss samay sahi waqt nahi aaya tha tumhari saza ka.. Par mujhe yakin hai wo din jald kabhi waqt humaare saath nahi hota par harr baar aisa nahi hoga. Main apni dost ke har ek aansu ka badla luungi tumse. Main uss waqt apne hosh mein nahi thi, kuch samajh nahi aa rha tha mujhe issliye Shreya ka saath nahi de paayi. Par ab aisa nahi hoga. Tumhe kya laga tha,tum humsab ke piche apne jasoos lagaogi aur mujhe pata nahi chalega. Mujhe sab pata hai. Chaar saalon se tumhari har harkat par nazar hai.
FLASHBACK,
Purvi saw that bookmark in bureau and left for home. Meanwhile she saw that a car is following her.
At home,
Purvi ( p.o.v)- Pata hai Shreya aaj tumhari banayi hui book mark mili thi mujhe. Main bohot khush ho gayi thi usse dekhkar par aisa dikhaya ki mujhe gussa aa rha hai kyunki sab the na wahaan ...I am sorry, mujhe maaf kardena..Ab jo main kahoongi uske liye bhi maaf kar dena mujhe. Par mujhe yeh sab kehna hi parega kyunki uss Riya ke logon ne mujhpar nazar rakhi hui hai. I am sorry.
Purvi from corner of her eyes saw a man hiding and watching her from a window.
Purvi- Kyun kiya aisa tumne Shreya. Tumhari wajah se mujhse mera pyar chinn gaya...(refer to ch 4).
Flashback ends.
Mujhe pata tha sab Riya issliye to chaar saalon se Shreya se nafrat karne ka naatak kar rahi huun taaki tum yeh samjho ki main usse nafrat karti huun aur main tumhari side hoon. Tumhate khilaaf kayi baar saboot iqattha karne ki koshish ki maine par nakamyab rahi. .
She closed her eyes and remembered the incident which took place four years ago. After some time she opened her eyes.
Purvi( p.o.v )- Par ek na ek din tumhara sach sab ke saamne aayega aur wo din jald hi aayega. Bas ek baar mujhe pata chal jaye ki aakhir Shreya hai kahaan. Usske baad tumhara khel khatm. Kahaan ho tum Shreya? Kahaan chali gayi tum? Agar tum hoti to ab tak usse uski gunaahon ki saza mil chuki hoti. Hum dono milkar usska sach sab ke saamne le aate. Kahaan ho tum Shreya..Wapas aajao please.
After some time, everyone reached their respective house and packed their bags.
IN MATHURA,
Cid bureau,
Kabir- Yaar kavin, yeh Shreya kab tak aayegi.
Kavin - Bhagwaan jaane sir. Mujhe nahi pata. Aisa lagta hai ki kashmir se Mathura aana hai. Issliye itni derr laga rahi hai.
All laughed.
Achaa..a voice came. All turned and found Siya standing near the door...
Stay tuned,
Good bye,
Take care..
