Mere Liye Tum Kaafi Ho ✔

The Storm In Her Heart

On the way to home after knowing about Neil and Jennifer falling apart, inspite of loving each other, she grew silent. Anubhav sensed the change in her state, but couldn't figure out what exactly was bothering her.

Reaching home, Haseena is still drowned in her thoughts. Without talking to him she silently moves to their room and lay on bed staring aimlessly, lost.

Anubhav sighed and sat near her. He forwarded her a glass of water, she smiled weakly and gulped in a go.
"Theek hai aap?", he asked. "Haa haa, humme kya hoga", she responded turning her side away from him.

"Hmm....bahot ache se jhoot bolne ka prayas kiya ja raha hai, par durbhagyevash, aap pure anko se vifal hui hai", he said in a light hearted, calm way, cuddling her from behind.

She turned to look him Calmly smiling at her. She held his face tightly in her palms and took in a deep breath.

"Anu hum kabhi bhi maa nahi ban na chahte....hum nahi chahte ki humara koi bacha ho", she said, and tears made their way through her eyes. She hugged him tightly unable to make any eye contact.

Here Anubhav was still processing her statement. He was hurt, unable to understand how to react, to be sad but for what? Her statement or her broken state. It was not that he wanted a child currently but at the same time he wanted to be a father of their child, a life for a life they would create, some time in future. He knew she had been impacted by knowing Jennifer's story. He still remembered their first conversation on this topic, where he was unsure but she filled him with positive vibes of parenthood. He held her close to him and closed his eyes for sometime.

FLASHBACK (ONE MONTH AFTER MARRIAGE)

It was Sunday and AnuSeena's day off due to low case count in IB. Haseena was reading a magazine, when article about motherhood pops in front of her. Suddenly her mind is filled about thoughts of having their own child someday.

Anubhav was sitting on couch, surfing net to find a perfect movie for their date night, which suited to both of their favorite genres. She comes and snatches his mobile, making him irritated.

"Ye kya tha?", he scowled. "Humme na aapse ek bahot important baat karne hai", she blushed on the thought of asking him about family planning, while he was left confused at her antics.

"Aise kya important baat hogayi ki aapke gaal yu laal hogaye", he whispered huskily in her ears, interwining their hands. "Shaam ko movie dekhne ki bajay kuch aur karne ka man hai?", he teased to which she reprimanded, hitting his chest. Her cheeks flashed crimson, whenever he teased. She may reprimand him everytime but she loved being teased by him and he to knew it.

She breathed trying to calm her anxious nerves and excitement. "Aap humse baat karne me kabse jhijhakne lagi?", Anu asked. She kept her chin on his shoulder. He cradled her face gently and gazed down at her. Hesitating haseena asked," aapne kabhi humari family ke bare me socha hai?". It was at a sudden for him, he had never thought of this before. Child-like, he shaked his had in a 'no'. "Toh sochiye phir, ek baar...ankhein band karke, sukoon se", she insisted and he closed his eyes, feeling a new emotion. He gripped her shoulder tightly, a smile formed on his face. Haseena rested her face on his chest and patiently witness his each facial expression trying to interpret what was going in his mind.

His heart felt a different way, a peaceful smile lingered his face when he thought of creating a life out of their love. Someone who would call him 'baba' and her 'ammi'. But his thoughts suddenly changed, will their profession provide him a secure future? His smile faded and a tensed expression took up.

Haseena sensed it and stood up. "Haseena lekin humari duty?......"
"Aree hum abhi thodi maa baap ban ne wale hai....5 saal 6 saal, jab bhi aap aur hum taiyaar honge....aur humara bacha na humari tarha strong hoga..."
He was little pacified but still unsure. "Lekin jab bhi hum parents banenge hum desk duty pe shift kar jayenge", Anu said.

"Aree haa baba abhi khush toh hoiye....sirf sochne mein hi kitni alag feeling aati hai...ek alag sukoon", HM replied and Anu couldn't disagree to her. It is definitely a bliss to think of their future, which was far but a beautiful dream. He tugged on Haseena's waist and pulled her on his toes. She wrapped her hands behind his neck and nestled her face in crook of his neck, feeling him closest. After a while, he broke the hug and looking into the myriad of emotions her eyes held for him, he pressed her lips first on her head and then traced them down on her lips.

Flashback ends

Haseena's silent weeps, turned to sniveling. He was himself broken unable to contemplate anything. He held her close to her heart to make her calm.
"Humne aapki life ka decision bhi khud hi le liya na Anu", Haseena finally spoke. Anu tried to convince her but she kept ker hand on his lips.
"Hum aapse bahot pyaar karte hai...hum nahi chahte jo Neil aur Jennifer ke saath jo hua vo humare saath ho....jis nanhi si jaan ki vajha se unhe aur kaarib aana tha ussi ki vajha se vo dur hogaye....is sab me mishthi ne bina kisi gunaah ke suffer kiya....vo toh Allah ka shukar hai Jennifer ne jo hints chode vo humme mil gaye varna vo ya toh mishthi ko koh deti, ya apni duty ke saath gadari karke khudke zameer ko.....hum nahi chahte ki aap ya hum aisa kabhi face kare", she poured out all she had in her heart.

He kissed her forehead deeply.
"Hum aapse jooth nahi kahenge Jaana, humme aapki iss baat se bura laga....par ye jaan lijye ki chahe khuch bhi ho, koi bhi paristhiti ho hum aapka sath nahi chodenge.....vo dono alag hue uska kaaran sirf mishthi nhi thi aur bhi the" he said....rolling down tears, seeing her cry.

"Maa ban na na ban na aapke decision hai aur hum aapke saath hai....chahe vo jo bhi ho....abhi ke liye baat ko bhul jaiye", AS tried to convince her. She wiped off his tears, to which he smiled weakly.
Anubhav made her cling near his heart, embracing her, as he thought of ways to bring her out of this insecurity.
"Yaad rakhiye....hum humesha aapke saath hai jaana....bohot pyaar karte hai hum aapse"

Haseena's phone rang, once, they missed, being too lost. On 2nd time Haseena picked it up as their senior, Ravindra's name Flashed in the caller ID....
