Mol se jude rishte ki ek Kahani ~ Molkki

" Raata Lambiyaan......"

(Both Virendra & Purvi looked at each other awkwardly. They knew for them this wasn't easy. They both were feeling awkward & shy. There was utter silence in the room. Just the sound of wind blowing outside was making a sweet whistling sound. Their eyes were not meeting each other. They were stealing away glances. 

" Hum toh so bhi nahi sakte, ye yaha par hai, kya karen...!!"

" Ibb toh sou kaha main, kidhar jaake, manne toh yo bhi naa pata ki kaha sove hai yaa chori......!"

" Wo......" ............... "Wo.........."

"Aap pehle boliye......" ............... " Naa naa tu bol ke bol rahi thi....."

" Wo, aap yaha uper bistar par so jayiye, hum neeche sote hai zameen par. "

" Naa, main yo zameen par so jaunga.........par ek min......tu zameen mein kyun soti hai, yo bistar mein kaate lage se ke......??"

"Kaate nahi, hamein neend nahi aati bistar par. Bachpan se hi zameen mein sone ki aadat hai naa, isliye.......aap uper so jaiye....."

" Ibb naa, manne kamar mein dard rehta hai, toh yaa bistar par neend naa aati.....Ibb ek kaam kar manne koi gadda de de....main yaha bicha leta hun......"

(Purvi gives a blanket & a mattress to Virendra. Both lay their beds respectively. After laying his bed, Virendra goes to his cupboard & takes out one kurta. He goes for a change. While Purvi was still making her bed. Just then she sees a cockroach on Virendra's bed. She's about to shoo it away when Virendra comes. He crosses Purvi & sits on the bed. Purvi is seeing this silently. She was staring at Virendra with wide broad eyes. 

Virendra sees Purvi & then looks down. He again sees Purvi who was staring at him. He again looks down & looks here & there. He again sees Purvi who was still staring him. Ibb yaa chori manne ke ghoore jaa rahi hai.....He sees his clothes, his kurta buttons, settles his mustache, his hair, slightly wipes off his face when he sees Purvi continuously looking at him. 

"Ibb ke ghoor rahi hai manne, ke hua hai jo teri awaz hi naa nikal rahi, ghoor ghoor ke aankhon ko dard de rahi hai tabse......"

"Wo, aapke bistar mein Cockroach hai............."

" Haan toh cockroach hi toh hai naa, konsa sher hai............kya kaha cockroach hai........!!!"

(Virendra literally jumped from his bed to Purvi's bed. He sat beside Purvi like a small baby who has got frightened by seeing a monster. He clenched Purvi's arms with fear.

Kidhar hai, kaha hai, aarey hai kaha......!!
Purvi was confused after this reaction from Virendra. 
A man who is the Mukhiya of Rewari & other nearby villages, jiski ek aawaz se poora gaon shaant ho jaata hai, jiske saamne aache aache log apni bolti band kar dete hai, jiske saamne kisi ki himmat nahi hoti ki wo aankh utha bhi le; aaj wo Mukhiya Virendra Pratap Singh ek cockroach se darr gaye...!!

This thought was constantly revolving in her mind. While Virendra was looking for the cockroach on his bed while sitting next to Purvi. He has grabbed her hands so well that they were cupped into his big hands. She sat there silently. After few moments he realised that what he has just done. He looked at Purvi who was sitting silently & nodding her head in disagreement.

" Umm, Mukhiji, hum use bhaga de........."

" Tanne cockroach se darr nahi lagta......."
