A few days later:
It was raining heavily outside. A person was walking in the rain, his haphazard footsteps were clearly showing that he was not much in his senses. He had a piece of stone in his hand.
Aaj hi hai woh din! Do saal pehle aaj hi ka din woh mujhe mili thi... Bhul gayi woh mujhe! To phir main kyun nahi bhula sakta usse! Kyun har baar woh mere yaadon me aa jati hai! Nahi dekhna hai mujhe usse!
He was about to throw the stone in his hand, but before that he came into reality with aloud voice -
Voice: Arre - Kya kar rahe ho! Dekh ke nahi chal sakte! (Loud noise of car and a person came out from the driver's seat) (surprised) Arre, Sachin Sir! Aap aise yaha -
Sachin was trying hard to balance himself with the help of the car bonnet. The person came near him immediately and held him tightly by his arm.
Person: Sir, aap ko bahot tez bukhar hai, aur aap itni baarish me bheeg rahe hai, chaliye main aap ko chhor deta hun
But Sachin was already about to fell unconscious!
Person: (to himself) Arre! Yeh to behosh hote jaa rahe hai - abhi doctor ko phone lagati hun
But Sachin stopped him with his hand and almost inaudibly said something...
Kajal was sitting in her balcony with a mug of hard coffee and a song -
Tum Itna Jo Muskura Rahe Ho
Kya Gham Hai Jisko Chhupa Rahe Ho
Aankhon Mein Nami, Hansi Labon Par
Kya Haal Hai Kya Dikha Rahe Ho
Ban Jayenge Zehar Peete Peete
Yeh Ashq Jo Piye Ja Rahe Ho
Jin Zakhmon Ko Waqt Bhar Chala Hai
Tum Kyon Unhe Chhedhe Ja Rahe Ho
Rekhaon Ka Khel Hai Muqaddar
Rekhaon Se Maat Kha Rahe Ho
Tum Itna Jo...
Her eyes were closed. She was feeling the warmth of the coffee mug she was holding. A small drop of tear was just dangling from her eyelid but still not falling down. The chilly wind was playing fiercely with her hair strands but she did not care.
Suddenly her phone rang. She looked at the caller id, but the number was unknown to her.
Kajal: Hello -
Person: Aap Kajal jee bol rahi hai?
Kajal: Haan, par aap kaun?
Person: Jee main Sachin Sir ka neighbor Mr. Khanna -
Kajal: (Anxious) Aap iss waqt! Sachin - Sachin ko kya hua? (concern) woh - woh theek to hai na?
Person: (narrating the incident how he met Sachin on road) Dekhiye, main doctor ko phone karnewala tha, par usne mujhe phone karne nahi diya, aur aapka number diya aur aapko batane ko bola! Mujhe pata nahi aap doctor ho ya nahi, par mujhe lagta hai, abhi uska jo haal hai, doctor ko call karna zaroori tha! Khair choriye! Mera kya! mujhe aap ko batana tha, so maine kiya!
Kajal: Khanna Saab, aap ko bahot bahot shukriya! Aap fikr mat kijiye, Sachin ko kuch nahi hoga- (cut the call immediately)
Yeh pagal kabhi nahi sudhrega! Kya karun main iska! Mujhe abhi ke abhi jana hoga, pata nahi kaise honge!
She left the house hurriedly with a small bag full of medicines and started her car. When she reached his home, it was 11:00 pm, she entered the house with her keys (she always has one key of his home), and directly went to his room. She found him lying on the bed in semi conscious state. His face was red with fever. But a feeble smile crept on his face seeing her.
Sachin: K-a-a-j-a-l, tu aa gaya-
Kajal came hurriedly towards him and put her hand on his forehead.
Kajal: itna bukhar hai, doctor ko call karna chahiye tha na -
She was about to leave to call the doctor. But he held her wrist.
Sachin: (low tone) mat jaa, please...
Kajal helplessly sat beside him. She was running her fingers through his hair, His eyes were closed.
Sachin: Kajal, tujhe "sorry" aur "thank you" kehna hai
Kajal: Woh sab baad me kehna please! Abhi tu yeh medicine le - aur thodi der aram kar le - main sula deti hun tujhe -
Sachin took the medicine without saying any word, then he put his head on Kajal's lap silently. Kajal was shocked with this. But she could understand that Sachin was not much in his senses now. She was trying to make him sleep, give him some comfort. But he was still restless, she was continuously caressing his hair. After few minutes of silence Kajal put his head on the pillow and tucked him inside the blanket properly, while he was keenly looking at her. She signaled him to be silent and then left the room to have a talk with the family physician. She called him and reported everything in detail. After talking to the doctor she came back and found him lying on the bed with the same expression in his face She sat beside him.
Kajal: (lovingly) Kya hua, haan? neend nahi aa rahi hai kya?
Sachin held her hand tightly and nodded as no. But suddenly to her surprise he kissed her hand which he was holding. Kajal shockingly looked at him, but even before she could react Sachin placed a soft kiss on her lips.
Sachin: (whisper) Please Kajal, mat jaa mujhe chorke - nahi reh sakta tere bina -
Kajal felt that her heart started melting. She could not control herself anymore. She leaned forward and kissed him with all her love, he kissed her back. She hugged him assuringly. His hands were much more desperate. They found their own way to her bosoms. He placed his face into her breasts. She surrendered herself completely to him. He completed her.
After they came down from the peak of satisfaction, due to tiredness both of them slept peacefully in each others arms.
In the morning it was Kajal who woke up first! Remembering the last night a beautiful smile appeared on her face. But suddenly she jerked off!
Oh God! What I have done last night! Sachin to hosh me nahi they, aur maine kaise... Usse jab hosh ayega, woh kya sochega mere bare mein... Oh God, please help me! Main usse face kaise karungi! Woh jagne se pehle mujhe chalna hoga!
She was about to leave the house, but then she remembered Sachin's fever. She checked his temperature, it was almost normal, she put the medicine on the bed side table. She put on her clothes and went to the kitchen to make the breakfast.
Sachin woke up after two hours. He was feeling much better. He saw the medicines and a small note :
Medicines le lena, aur kitchen me breakfast ready hai, kar lena. Agar koi bhi problem ho, to zaroor call karna. -Kajal
The last night flashed in his mind. For the first time in the last two years, he was feeling so much relaxed. But immediately something hit his mind.
Maine itni badi ghalati kaise kar diya! Kajal - woh kya soch rahi hongi mere bare mei! Oh God! I have lost her! Maine usse humesha humesha ke liye kho diya! Ab main kabhi usse nazrein nahi mila paunga! Usse maafi bhi mangne ka layak nahi hun main!
