Mol se jude rishte ki ek Kahani ~ Molkki

" Pehla Vaar....."

It was morning of the ashtami. Virendra got up & found that Purvi was missing from the room. He sat on his bed & was thinking when someone opened the door. He thought it was Purvi but it was Gopi with his morning tea. He kept the tea on the table. On asking where is Purvi; he replied that she is busy downstairs with the preparation.

" Ibb manne laag raha hai ki Bawri naraz hai mere te...khair galti hai bhi toh meri...koi naa...Ibb maan javegi..."

Virendra got ready wearing a white kurta with red dhoti, red sadri & a red pagdi. He adjusted his pagdi while looking himself at the mirror when Purvi entered the room. 
She halted for a second & looked at Virendra who was looking like a prince in that whole attire. She didn't move & just lowered her eyes. 

Virendra saw her from the mirror itself & sensed that Purvi was admiring him silently. He turned & saw Purvi in normal clothes. She wasn't ready yet.

" Ibb tu abhi tak tayar naa hui....manne toh kaha tha ki subhah se hi tayar ho jaana hai...."

" Haan wo hum tayar hone jaa hi rahe hai...wo mandir le jaane wala saaman rakhwa rahe the...aap neeche chaliye hum aate hain..."

Virendra moved towards Purvi & crossed her looking at her. She looked back at him softly. He moved out of the room & Purvi closed the door from inside.

Virendra was downstairs waiting for Purvi. While the kids were playing here & there. Suddenly Juhi & Manas said...." Haathi...." Virendra looked at the direction & stopped. He didn't blink at all. His eyes were wide open, taking a wider view of his wife, his bawri who was looking like a queen. 

Descending down the stairs came Purvi. 

Dressed in all yellow lehnga & choli with a red embroidery dupatta as a veil & a dupatta with lehnga. Wearing a choker & a necklace along with her shining mangalsutra. Filled her hairline with red bright sindoor; with those red bangles on her hands; payal on her feet; a golden kamar bandh on her thin waist; she was glowing separately.  

She reached the place where Virendra was standing who was still lost in the beauty before him. " Chale Mukhiji...." His attention was broken by the beauty herself. He noded. She took the pooja thali from the table & walked right ahead of Virendra. He saw the little beads who were tied on her choli on the dori from back were slowly swinging here & there. They went to the car. Purvi inquired about all the things required were kept or not. She sat inside the car & looked outside. Virendra was still standing outside the car & admiring the Mukhiyani of Rewari. 

Two cars reached the temple; one of Virendra & other of his guards. Purvi & Virendra got out & reached the stairs of the temple. 

Both stepped their right feet first & entered the temple premises. They reached inside & Purvi gave all the things to the pandit ji. The pooja was conducted & then they both went to do the prakrima.

Purvi & Virendra reached the big banyan tree & started doing circles there. They both simultaneously remembered how for the first time they were doing the same. 

After completing the circles together; Virendra took the sindoor from the trunk of the tree & applied on Purvi's forehead & near her manng. 

They both reached the place where the chunri of mannat were tied. As they were crossing the place; a big chunri fell on both of them covering their heads together. They both looked at each other & tied the chunri together this time.

They reached the backside of the temple & together bowed on the wall. Purvi bowed up & saw a man hiding beside the temple wall. Virendra looked at her.She looked tensed. He looked back but saw no one there. He looked at Purvi again who in returned noded her head. 

They both moved forward to the place where coconut breaking ritual was done. Virendra took the coconut from Purvi's hand & bend down to break. He broke the naariyal & got up when suddenly he was pushes aside by Purvi & she stood at his place. There was crowd there & suddenly Purvi looked straight at Virendra.

" Aee Bawri...yo dhakka kyun diya manne....aur ibb ghoor ke rahi hai..."

Purvi didn't move. Virendra suddenly realised that something is fishy. He looked aside & saw a small thin layer of blood flowing from Purvi's hand & to her waist. He saw the yellow choli around her arms turning red. He looked up to Purvi who just closed her eyes slowly & dropped on Virendra's arms.

" Baaawwrrrriiiiiiiiiiiiii............"

Virendra held Purvi strongly. He saw a deep cut on her arm & blood gushing away fast. He saw Purvi fainting away in his arms. 

" Bawri....bawri....aankhen khol...aaeee gaadi nikalo jaldi....."

He lifted Purvi in his arms & ran towards the parking area. Everyone in the crowd became worried. Virendra made Purvi lay on the seat & he himself sat with her head on his lap.His hands were near her arms where the blood was oozing out very fast. He saw the pale face of Purvi & her clothes getting all red & blood stained. 

He reached the hospital & lifted her again. On the stretcher, he made Purvi lay down & called the doctor. Doctor rushed Purvi to the emergency ward where her treatment started. Virendra was worried, full of tears & was walking here & there. Soon Prakashi, Anjali, Mama Sarkar, Yogi, Juhi & Manas too arrived. He told them to calm down. 

The doctor came out & informed Virendra that someone has stabbed Purvi with a sharp knife along with a poison on it; thus the cut has been infected by the poison. She will be kept under observation to see whether the poison they've cleaned is not spreading now. He was told that they've to wait till tomorrow morning. Virendra told the family that they should go to home as he is here. 

Just then they all saw Purvi being shifted to the ICU ward from emergency. The stretcher crossed Virendra & coincidently Purvi's hands touched Virendra. A tear fell from his eyes but wiped off swiftly. The whole family went leaving Virendra behind. 

He was sitting on the bench, walking worriedly, looking at Purvi from the glass pane & wiping away the small tears. 

" Uth jaa bawri...uth jaa...mere liye na sahi...juhi manas ke liye uth jaa...."

Just then two of his guards walked upto him.

" Mukhiji, pata chal gaya hai ki kisne Mukhiyani ji pe hamla kiya..."

Virendra looked down & suddenly his expressions changed. His eyes went red from tears. His fist clenching away; his forehead all shrinked with anger. He looked at Purvi & looked at his guards who nodded their heads in agreement.

Chot lagi hai use..par dard aur takleef yaha ho rahi....

Wo hai shaant aur chup...par toofaani lehre yaha uth rahi....

Jisne bhi nuksaan pahuchaya hai use..jo hai uske dil ke behad kareeb...

Kya wo bach  payega abb...ya shuru ho chuka hai uska kharab naseeb.....

Ye gussa...ye aankhen aaj sab bayan kar gayi...

Wo mujhe bacha kar....khud ko ghayal kar gayi....

Uske har dard ka badla liya jayega abb....

Wo ek baar bas uth jaye toh sukoon milega tab.......

Kya lagta hai...kon hai iss hamle ke peeche ka insaan...?

Ye hamla tha Purvi ke liye ya bann gayi wo anjaane mein iska shikaar.....??

TO BE CONTI..........!!
