THERE'S ANOTHER SKY

UDASI

"tu taiyar nahi hua..." before sidhant could complete his words he saw his son standing there already in his school dress carrying his school bag on his shoulder ...

"kya be shane aaj khudse taiyar ho gya, huh? Sahi hai abhi mereko tera jhamela se chutti milegi" said sidhant while placing the lunch box in vishwash's bag...

"are baba tu bhi na, mai khudse taiyar nahi hua hu, mujhe usne ready kiya hai jo apne ghar aayi hai" said vishwash innocently...hearing vishwash's words Sidhant looked around from the corner of his eyes and saw Sarna standing near room...

"ye kya kaise jute pehne hai? Saaf kisne karne the? Or ye shirt bhi ajeeb lag ri hai.. Ummm... Or... Or ye tere baal, idhar se kyu ghumaye hai? Bilkul bakwas lag rha hai tu... Huh... Mai.... Mai roz kitna ache se ready karta hai tereko, aaj mere bagair ready hua to dekh kya joker lag rha hai " said sidhant while correcting already corrected things just to show Sarna that he doesn't like his son getting close to her...

Once sidhant was done with doing acting of correcting vishwash's dress, vishwash came near Sarna and spoke...

" tumko to bache ko taiyar karna bhi nhi aata, tum to ek number ki jarhiya ho" said vishwash and ran from there out of the house while laughing at his own words, Sarna stood there numb processing what just happened.... Sidhant looked at her fallen face and felt guilty for her...

"umm vo bacha hai usko samjh nahi aata ki vo kya bolta hai, tu jyada dhiyan matt de uski baat pr.." he said and left from there to drop vishwash his school... Sarna smiled after hearing his explanation and thought he was not that bad...

Sidhant came downstairs and saw vishwash talking with akriti near the society gate...

" or pata fer baba ne mujhe ache se taiyar kiya usko to bache log ko taiyar bhi nahi karna aata, maine to usko bol diya ki vo jarhiya hai" vishwash giggled 🤭

"bohot sahi kiya, usse uski jagah bata kar... Jyada shani ban rahi thi na, huh aisi ladkio ko kuch nahi aata karne ko" said akriti who was unaware of the fact that sidhant heard her words...

"ye kya bakwas sikha rahi hai tu? Huh? Kal ki beizati kafi nahi thi tere liye jo aaj fir chalu ho gayi hai?" he asked in a loud and dangerous voice making her fling on her place...

"mai to vo laddoo ko bata rahi thi ke" she tried to explain but stopped by sidhant in the middle of her words as he spoke...

"uska naam vishwash hai, laddoo sirf mai use bulata hu.. Or dusri baat aaj ke baad mere bete ke aas pass dikh bhi matt jana, warna tera vo haal karuga ki khudki shakal nahi pehchan sakegi... Kya? Samjhi?" he said gritting his teeth in anger... Aakriti nodded her head positively and left from there...

" baba tu usko darata kyu hai, vo to mere se baat kar rahi thi or usko bhi pata hai ki vo jo ladki hai na apne ghar vo kisi kaam ki nahi hai, use to bacho ko taiyar karna bhi nahi aata" said vishwash innocently...

"nahi vishwash aisa nahi bolte, vo tere ko taiyar ki thi ache se bus thorhi thorhi kami thi vo mai pura kar diya, ab aise galat nahi bolna kisi ke bare me ha, chal abhi school chalte hai"

Sarna's pov

Oh finally he left.. Oh god where you brought me, this men is a headache, pahle bache ke samne galat bolta hai or fer jab bacha iski tarha bole to explain karta hai, ajeeb insan hai... forget it, now I have to find a place to live, I can't be a burden on anyone...

I wish I had never met that man in my life, I would have been happy then....but what can I do now, the loss is already made... I just want to live my life only for my baby... if it was not about my baby then I would have chosen to die...

I know it sounds pathetic but is not a girl who can just go and lose her virginity to anyone... I never gave priority to my bodily needs... my priority was always my family and my carrier... but I had loved that man! how I can be just so stupid to fall in love with that cheater...

calm down Sarna calm down... it's not good for your baby, the life inside you... I think I should focus on my present now...

well right now am alone in this whole house... and to be true it smells really bad... I had never thought in my life that I would spend a night at a stranger's home... but to be true it's far better than the place where that old lady had taken me, okay! once again I had never thought I would ever step in a red light area and will spend some hours of my life at a prostitute's area.....

so! I think I should make myself something to eat first, I had not eaten anything after yesterday's tea...

I went into the kitchen and searched for some food and lucky me found flour and lentil in two boxes... I thought to make it simple and light food..

First of all, I cleaned that gas stove and kitchen platform which looked like had not been cleaned for ages... Once I was done cleaning it looked all-new... Self-appreciation time guys! I parted my shoulder and went on preparing a brunch...

On one stove I cooked yellow lentils and on another stove I made a cup of tea for myself....

While both the things cooked I made a dough of flour... I was always a multitasker... I had been doing all this stuff for myself for a long time...

I was only 13 years when my beeji, my grandmother pushed me into household work. she always used to show anger towards me and other female members of our family. my family is a joint family, which includes my dad's younger brother's family and my dad's family and my grandparents. we are two siblings and four cousins... we were a happy and adjusting family, males are exceptional here.

pahli bar kisi ladke ko vo jagah di thi jindagi me jis jagah ko mai kisi ko dene se darti thi. usne mera dar sach kar Diya. aaj itni tuti huyi mehsus kr rahi hu ki dar hai ki kabhi mai dubra judh paungi? ye bacha jo mere pait me hai kabhi use khush rakh paungi? kya kabhi use uske baap ki kami mehsus hone se rok paungi? bohot swal hai dil me, itne ki agar ek ek ke jawab dhundhne nikli to ek umr bit jayegi udasi me (reference my Instagram post from personal account)

AUTHOR POV

she washed her face which was wet due to her tears... after wiping her face she quickly prepared two Rotis and had them with the lentil and tea which she had prepared for herself...

like all of us, Sarna is also unaware of the things which will happen in future and that will change her life.. I would like to know all of your opinions on this book.. hope you all will drop some comments and votes..
