maina~meri naina

37

In India....

It's late night, no-one have their dinner, swati make siya eat forcefully. Naina is standing leaning on window frame looking at black sky. Tears are rolling down from her eyes, she is crying... She is crying silently...

Naina- kyu bhagwan ji kyu...? Maine aapka kya bigada tha. Jo aapne aisa kiya mere sath. Jab mai sab kuch khatam karna chahti thi to aapne Nirvaan ko mere pass bhej diya. Mere sath sath uski life bhi difficult bana di. Ab aap hi batao mai kya batau kaise samjhau use.

Silence for few seconds....

Naina- Sameer.... I miss you....

In London....

Sameer is driving.... Stopped....

Resting his head on steering wheel try to calm his uneven breathe. Tears formed at corner of his eyes. He says to himself.

Sameer- kya ho rha hai aaj mujhe. Aisa to... Kabhi kabhi hota hai...

He take water bottle and gulp down half in one go, resting for few more minutes he drives to home. Reaching at home, nanu is sitting in living room as usual having late evening tea and scrolling news feed in his phone. Poorvi is playing with her toys and Priti is reading book.  Sensing his presence nanu's gaze shifts to door step.

Nanu- are sameer... Tu kab aaya beta? Aur aise kyu khada hai? Ander aa!

Priti- aap coffee loge? Mai banati hu.

Sameer- hmmm... But thodi strong.

Priti- thik hai...

Priti left for making coffee. On seeing her Mamu Purvi runs to him and sits in his lap encircle her arm around his neck.

Poorvi- mamu you know aaj mumma ne na mujhe danta.

Sameer kissed her puffy cheeks and holds her tightly. Asks her with fatherly love.

Sameer- achhaww... Aur aapki mumma ne aapko q danta? Koi reason to hoga na.? Mumma log aise hi nahi danti apne babies ko.

Poorvi- mamu wo Rachel hai na., Usne mujhe big fat elephant kaha.

Sameer- fir aapne kya kiya.?

She giggled and leaned to his ear,

Poorvi-.miane use push kiya wo gir aur maine kaha next time hathi k samne aane se pehle sochna.

Both Mama and bhanji giggled same way. Nanu is mute inspector of all this scene. He smiles seeing Sameer's smile but next moment it's vanished.

Nanu- poorvi k sath rehta hai to kitna khush rehta hai... Bhagwan mere bachhe ki zindagi me khushiyan wapas la do. Aur mere dil pe se ek bhut bada bojh halka kar do. Is bojh k tale mai chain se mar bhi nahi paunga...

In India....

Naina is getting ready for going somewhere she turns to door after sensing someone's presence. Nirvaan is there, he just woke up, his eyes are puffy and nose tip is still red. He climb up his mother's lap, hugs her.

Nirvaan- sorry mumma... Maine aap pe gussa kiya na.! Aap rat ko roye hoge na..? Sorry mumma. Promise ab aise nahi karunga. Aap mujhse naraz mat hona.

Naina- mai to aapse bilkul bhi naraz nahi hu. Aap to mere good boy ho. Chalo jake fresh ho jao. Bhookh lagi hogi na, rat ko khana bhi nahi khaya tha. Tumhare favorite aloo k parathe banane jaa rahi hu.

Hearing about aaloo paratha his face lit.

Nirvaan- sachhi mumma... Aap banaoge... Par aap to ready hoke kahi jaa rahe ho.
