CHAPTER 11

Shreya was sobbing continuously. Pradyuman made her sit on the couch.

"Shreya, relax bachha, hum baat karenge na. Kuch nahi hua, stop crying." He said rubbing her tears.

Shreya looked at him and got up with a jerk, "nahi papa.. Main janti hu sab ekdum ulta ho gaya, jaisa maine socha tha, waisa kuch bhi nahi hua. Main abhi maa se baat karti hu." She said and rushed towards her mother, "Maa...masi...maa" she called them loudly.

The three ladies came there.

"Kya hai shreya, aise kyun chilla rahi ho tum?" Asked her mother rudely.

"Ye aap puch rahi ho maa? Puchna to mujhe aap se chahiye, kya baate ki aap logo ne daya sir se han? Kya kaha aap logo ne unse." Shreya asked fuming in anger.

Maya came ahead, "shreya, beta ye tum daya se hi kyun nahi puch leti? Usne tumhe bataya nahi kuch?" She asked in extra sweet voice.

"Ok, fine, main daya sir se hi puch leti hu." Shreya said angrily and grabbed her keys. She rushed towards her car when Supriya called her.

"Ek minute shreya!"

Shreya stopped and looked at her.

"Ab jab tum daya se baat karne ja hi rahi ho to ek baat achhe se samajh lo. Daya ne humare faisle ko accept kar liya hai aur mujhe lagta hai ki tumhe bhi humare faisle ko accept kar lena chahiye." She said looking at shreya.

"Pehle mujhe aapka faisla to pata chal jaye, phir dekhti hu accept Karna hai ya nahi." Shreya said directly looking into her eyes and left from there.

She directly reached at daya's home.

"Shreya, tum yaha? Itni raat ko..." Daya asked as he opened the door.

"Sir, main andar aa sakti hu?" Shreya asked cutting his sentence in between.

Daya said nothing and made a way for her.

"Baitho" daya said offering her a seat.

"Sir, aap jante hain main yaha baithne nahi aayi hu. Sach janne aayi hu. Bina mujhe bataye aapne aur meri family ne milkar meri life ka faisla Kar diya na? Kisi ne mujhe involve karne ki jarurat bhi nahi samjhi. Lekin main koi pagal nahi hu. Ye meri life hai aur mujhe meri life ke faisle khud karne ka haq hai. Main kisi ko bhi apni zindagi barbaad karne ki permission nahi de sakti, suna aapne?" Shreya said making a direct eye contact with him.

"Shreya, please, meri baat suno!" Daya said holding her by her shoulders.

"Pehle mujhe bataiye, maa ne aapse kya kaha?" Shreya said jerking his hand away.

Daya heaved a sigh and glanced at her.

He started telling her the story.

FLASHBACK

Daya went to appease the three ladies.

"Mam please, meri wajeh se aap log dinner mat chodiye, agar aap logo ko mere sath khana pasand nahi to theek hai, I am going. But please aap log chal kar khana kha leejiye." Daya said joining his hands in front of them.

"Dinner to hum kar lenge daya. Aur tumhe yaha se jane ki koi jarurat nahi. Tum yaha se to chale jaoge, par shreya ke dil me utna hi baste chale jaoge." Supriya said standing in front of him, "I just don't know kya jadu kar diya hai tumne meri beti par, tumhari wajeh se wo mujhe palat kar jawab dene lagi hai. Huhh..." She smirked, "har maa ki tareh maine bhi bahut sapne sajaye the apni beti ki shadi ke, whatever, just leave it. I just want to tell you that I will never accept this relationship of shreya and yours. Agar tum dono ne shadi ki to, main aur hum sab shreya se apne sare rishte khatam kar lenge. Tab wo sirf tumhari wife hogi, par meri beti nahi, aur na hi use mujhe maa kehne ka haq hoga." Supriya completed her last sentence and it was not less than a thunderstorm for daya.

"Ye aap kya keh rahi hain?" Daya was stunned.

Maya came ahead, "tum ek anath ho na ? Tumhare paas na to maa hai, na koi family. Aur in dono ki values tumse behtar aur kaun samajh sakta hai. To tum kya chahte ho shreya bhi apni maa aur apni family se door ho jaye. Apni terah use bhi anath banana chahte ho?" Maya said her words piercing daya's heart.

Daya was on the verge of tears. But somehow he stopped his tears flowing out of his eyes.

Sweety too came into the scene, "aap shreya didu se agar wakai pyar karte hain to aap kabhi nahi chahenge ki wo apni family se door ho jaye. Aapse shadi karne ke baad shreya didu ke paas sirf aapka pyar hoga, lekin family ke naam par kuch bhi nahi." Sweety said still sitting on the chair.

Daya wiped his tears off and came near Supriya, "Main shreya se bahut pyar karta hu. Duniya ki kisi bhi cheej se jyada. Lekin main ye kabhi nahi chahunga ki shreya ko mera pyar pane ke liye apni family ko khona pade. Ek anath hone ka Jo dard aur gam maine saha hai, wo main shreya ko kabhi nahi sehne dunga." He felt a lump in his throat. "Aap log shreya ko khud se door mat kariye, agar koi shreya ki zindagi se door jayega to wo hu main." Daya said confidentally in a tough voice.

"Better! " said Supriya happily, "aur tum shreya ko ye bhi samjhaoge ki wo humari pasand ke ladke se shadi karegi." She said crossing her hands near her chest.

"Ji bilkul don't worry, jaisa aap log chahte hain waisa hi hoga. Shreya aapki pasand ke ladke se hi shadi karegi, kyunki ek maa kabhi apne bachho ka bura nahi sochti, aap shreya ke liye Jo bhi faisla lenge, wo sahi hi hoga." Daya said with a painful smile.

"And you don't worry, aapko koi dusri ladki mil jayegi, main khud dhundhugi." Sweety said happily looking at daya.

Daya smiled at her, "no thanks, aap logo ko mere liye pareshan hone ki koi jarurat nahi. Aap log bas shreya ka khayal rakhiye." He took a pause, "to ab khana khane chale?"

"Of course" Maya said smiling and they proceeded for dinner.

Flashback over

Shreya was fuming in anger, "sir, un logo ne aapse itni rudely baat ki, aapko anath kaha? I just can't believe it. Aur aap chup chap sunte rahe sab kuch? Kyun?" Shreya shouted at him.

"Shreya, unhone kuch galat nahi kaha, lucky hote hain wo log jinke paas family hoti hai. Jinke paas ek maa hoti hai, tumhare paas to 2-2 moms hain. Ek pyari si Behan hai. Main nahi chahta ki meri wajeh se tum in sab se door ho jao. Apni maa ki baat maan lo shreya, unki pasand ke ladke se shadi kar lo. " daya said in a low voice without looking at her.

But in reply he just heard her sobs. Yes, she was crying. "Sir, aapko pata bhi hai aap kya keh rahe hain. Aapko pata bhi hai main aapse kitna pyar karti hu. Jara sa bhi andaja hai aapko ki aap mere liye kya hain. Main aur kisi ke bare me sapne me bhi nahi soch sakti aur aap mujhe kisi aur se shadi karne ko keh rahe hain." Shreya said with tears rolling down her cheeks.

"Wait a minute! kahi aisa to nahi ki, aap mujhse pyar hi nahi karte, sirf main hi pagal hu Jo humesha aapke sapne dekhti rehti hu. Tell me sir, do you love me... Han, come on tell me!" Shreya said tightly holding his collar.

"Shreyaaa! " daya shouted at her and held her hands. "Keep calm".

Shreya moved her face closer to him. Daya was feeling her warm breath near his lips. Shreya pushed her body against him, "you don't love me right? Agar aap mujhse pyar karte to itni asani se kabhi nahi kehte ki jao kisi aur se shadi kar lo. You are so cheap! You were just playing with my emotions." She said pushing him against the wall.

"Shreya hold on!" Daya tried to control her.

Shreya came more closer, "I am so stupid sir! I had started dreaming my future with you, but you? You are not interested in living with me, tabhi to maa ke faisla ko itni asani se accept kar liya." She said with tearful eyes. "Alright, I am going, aap chahte hain ki main kisi aur ke sath rahu to yahi sahi...thanks for some very beautiful moments, you gave me!" She wiped off her tears and turned to go.

"Shreya" but daya caught her wrist and pulled her. He wrapped his arms around her waist. "I love you" he said and kissed hard on her lips.

Shreya started hitting his chest, "uhhh...ummm.." She tried to free herself. Daya broke the kiss. Shreya frowned at him. "Just leave me." She was struggling in his arms but daya smiled and again started kissing her.

She was protesting but slowly she put her arms around his neck and started kissing him back. Both were passionate. Daya was wildly sucking her lips and biting occasionally. Shreya was responding with the same passion moving her fingers in his hair. They both were out of breath, so they have to break the kiss.

Shreya was huffing, burying her face in his neck.

Daya hugged her securely and rested his chin on her head.

"I love you shreya... Please mere pyar pe shak mat Karo!" He said softly.

Shreya looked up at him, "to phir aap kyun chahte hain ki main aapko chodkar kisi aur ki ho jaun? Kyun nahi lad sake aap meri family se mere liye?"

Daya looked at her innocent face. "Kyunki mujhe mere pyar pe aur humari kismat pe pura bharosa hai. Tum kisi aur ki ho hi nahi sakti. You are made only for me, tum sirf mere liye bani ho, samajhi?" He said cupping her face lovingly.

Shreya looked at him confusingly. "Mujhe kuch samajh nahi aaya"

"Dekho shreya, tum is duniya me sirf mere liye aayi ho. Aur koi kitni bhi koshish kar le tumhe mujhse door karne ki, tum mujhse door ja hi nahi sakti. Tumhari family chahti hai ki tum kisi aur se shadi Karo to theek hai, maan lo unki baat. Han kar do is shadi ke liye. Main tumhe bharosa dilata hu ye shadi nahi hogi. Tumhari shadi sirf mujhse hi hogi aur wo bhi tumhari family ki Marji se." Daya said lovingly caressing her face.

She looked deep in his eyes, "aapko itna asan lagta hai ye sab? Mujhe humare pyar pe bharosa hai lekin apni family par nahi. Lekin agar aap itne bharose ke sath aisa keh rahe hain to, theek hai, main bhi taiyar hu, humare pyar ka test lene ke liye. Par ek baat yaad rakhiye, agar is test me humare pyar ki yaar hui na to main, main ji nahi paungi." Shreya said with teary eyes.

"Aisa kuch nahi hoga, humare pyar ki jeet hogi, haar nahi. " daya said rubbing her tears.

"Par aapko pata bhi hai, maa aur masi meri shadi kisses karwana chahti hain?" Shreya asked daya.

"Nahi aur mujhe Janna bhi nahi hai. Tumhari shadi sirf mujhse hi hogi, I promise " daya said hugging her.

After sometimes shreya came back to her home. Everybody looked at her. She was looking calm.

"Kya hua shreya, mil liya daya se? Baat kar li usse? Kya faisla hai ab tumhara?" Supriya asked standing in front of her.

Shreya looked at her mother and smirked, "achha khel khela aapne maa. Mujhe mere pyar ke hatho hi majboor kar diya aapka faisla manne ke liye. Ab daya sir bhi yahi chahte hain ki main aapke pasand ke ladke se shadi karu to theek hai, I am ready. Main aapki pasand ke ladke se shadi karne ke liye taiyar hu, lekin aap ek baat achhe se samajh leejiye. Shadi to main kisi se bhi kar lungi, lekin pyar ab aur kisi se nahi kar paungi." Shreya said sadly looking at her mother.

"Oh shreya, I am so happy. Finally tumne sahi decision liya hai. Main abhi sachin ki family se baat karti hu." Supriya said happily and rushed towards the phone.

"Sachin kaun sachin? Supriya didi, sachin nahi kavin ki family se baat karni hai, aap chodiye main kar lungi." Maya said snatching the receiver from Supriya's hand.

"Oh no mom, auntie, sachin aur kavin nahi, nikhil ji ki family se baat karni hai. Aap log to kuch samajhte hi nahi." Sweety said coming into the scene.

"Sachin"

"Kavin"

"Nikhil"

The three ladies started arguing. Shreya closed her eyes tightly in frustration. Pradyuman was just silently watching the scenario.

"Maa, masi, sweety! Stop it you all!" Shreya shouted at them. They stopped and looked at shreya.

"Aap log is terah se paglo ki terah ladna band kariye, shanti se decide kariye ki mujhe kiske sath phere lene hain. Aap log jiske sath kahoge, main uske sath shadi karne ko taiyar hu, aur agar aap log chaho to main teeno se shadi kar lungi. Alright?" She yelled at them and left from there angrily.

The three ladies saw her and exchanged glances. Now pradyuman came there. He glared all of them.

"Supriya ji, ye Jo bhi ho raha hai na theek nahi ho raha hai. Ye teen ladke pasand aaye hain aap logo ko humari shreya ke liye, dimag theek to hai aap sab ka?" He shot an angry glance to all of them and he too left.

As he went the three again started quarreling.

"Shreya ki shadi sirf sachin se hi hogi."

"Ji nahi, kavin se hogi."

"Shreya didu ki shadi nikhil ji se hogi"

They talked to their respective boys and told them that shreya is ready for the marriage. Now the three boys became happy and started celebrating.

Supriya came to shreya's room, she was reading some book.

"Shreya, beta... Sachin ne phone kiya tha, usne tumhe coffee shop me Milne ke liye bulaya hai. Tum jaogi na?" Supriya asked sweetly.

Shreya made a face and replied coldly, "ok, I'll go."

Supriya kissed her head and went from there.

As she went Maya entered shreya's room.

"Shreya, my darling, you know, abhi abhi kavin ka phone aaya tha, shadi se pehle wo tumse kuch baat Karna chahta hai. Tumhe coffee pe bulaya hai, jaogi na beta?" She asked sweetly.

Shreya heaved a sigh and replied with a fake smile, "ok masi, I'll go."

Maya kissed her head and left.

As she went sweety came there.

"Shreya didu, nikhil ji ka call aaya tha, wo aapse coffee shop me milna chahte hain, aap jaoge na?" She asked excitedly.

Shreya was fed up, she looked up at her and replied without interest, "yes, I'll go."

Sweety hugged shreya happily and went from there.

"In teeno ke sath teen cup coffee pine se to achha hai ki main zehar pi lu." She became ready and took her keys and cellphone.

"Kya karu, kiske paas jaun?" She was confused, finally she decided something and left.

It was 11 o'clock of night but shreya had still not returned.

"Ye shreya, abhi tak wapas kyun nahi aayi? Kitni coffee pi rahe hain ye log." Supriya was murmuring walking to and fro in the hall.

Maya and sweety were also waiting for shreya. Now it was 11:30. But no sign of shreya.

Finally Supriya called shreya, but her cellphone was off. Now supriya called sachin and asked about shreya. But sachin told that shreya didn't meet him.

"What? Shreya, sachin se Milne gayi hi nahi." Supriya uttered in disbelief.

"Oh, I knew it, wo jaroor kavin se Milne gayi hogi." Maya said happily and called kavin. But he too gave the same reply leaving Maya in a shock.

"Shreya, kavin se bhi nahi mili." Maya uttered shockingly.

"Oh to isme itna pareshan hone jaisa kya hai. Wo nikhil ji ke sath hogi." Sweety said and called nikhil, and she too got the same reply.

"Mom, didu to nikhil ji se Milne bhi nahi gayi thi, to aakhir itni raat ko wo hain kaha aur kiske sath?" Sweety asked looking worried.

"Agar wo in teeno me se kisi se bhi nahi mili to, phir to ek hi insaan hai, jiske paas wo ja sakti hai." Supriya said angrily and called daya.

"Shreya kaha hai?" She asked in a harsh voice.

Daya was shocked, "shreya, kaha hai matlab? What do you mean? Ye main kaise bata sakta hu. Ye to aapko pata hona chahiye na." Daya said to supriya. He too was worried for shreya.

"Daya, jhooth mat bolo? Kya shreya tumse Milne aayi thi?" Supriya asked worriedly.

"Ji han wo aayi thi mujhse Milne, lekin maine use wapas jane ko kaha, thodi der me wapas chali gayi thi! Kya wo abhi tak ghar nahi pahuchi?" Daya asked worriedly.

Supriya was now about to cry, "sab tumhari wajeh se hua hai daya, pata nahi kaha hai meri shreya is waqt? Pata nahi kis haal ne hai. Uska phone bhi band aa raha hai. Agar use kuch hua na to mujhse bura koi nahi hoga, got it?" Supriya yelled at him

"Mam, relax, main hu na, main dekhta hu shreya kaha hai. Kuch nahi hoga use, koi choti bachhi nahi hai wo, aap chinta mat kariye, jaise hi wo mujhe mil jayegi, main use lekar ghar aa jaunga, don't worry."daya said and cut the call. He was extremely worried for shreya.

Here Supriya kept the receiver back and started crying.

"Didi, don't worry, humari shreya koi mamuli ladki nahi ek cid cop hai, kuch nahi hoga use. " Maya said consoling Supriya.

"Ha, ho sakta hai didu, kisi jaruri kaam me phas gayi ho, wo aa jayegi abhi." Sweety said increasing their hopes.

"But Maya, kahi aisa to nahi ki, shreya ne humse naraj hokar koi galat kadam utha liya ho." Supriya said with teary eyes.

Pradyuman came there, "shreya aisa kabhi nahi karegi, main achhi terah se janta hu apni beti ko." He came near Supriya, "aur agar usne aisa kuch kiya, khud ko koi nuksan pahuchaya, to uski responsible sirf aap log honge, aur main aap logo ko kabhi maafi nahi karunga." He warned them and left.

Supriya looked at him going and again started crying.
