TOGETHER FOREVER

PART 21

Next morning

When Gunny was returning from jogging, he saw Vidhya sitting on a bench in garden.

Gunny: (in his mind) ye achchha moka he Gunny apne dil ki bat bolne ka. Lekin ese kese bol du or sab se badi bat kya bolu. Uske dil me mere lie bhi vahi feelings he ya nahi vo bhi muje nahi pata. Agar usne mana kar dia to. Gunny tu kab se darne laga, or rahi bat uske dil me kya he to uske dil me jo bhi ho lekin tere dil me kya he vo to bol de..... oh god ye kya ho raha he me khud hi khud se savaal kar raha hu or khud hi khud ko javaab de raha hu. Ese to me pagal ho jaunga. Jo bhi ho aj to bol hi de....

Gunny came out of his thoughts when he heard Vidhya's voice.

Vidhya: (loudly) sir... kya soch rahe ho.

Gunny: ha kya hua, tumne kuchh kaha.

Vidhya: me kab se apko bula rahi hu.

Gunny: ha vo me kuchh soch raha tha lekin tum batao tum yaha kya kar rahi ho.

Vidhya: kuchh nahi Rajveer bhai ka inatezar kar rahi hu jogging ke lie. pata nahi aj kyu nahi aye, jogging ke lie to kabhi late nahi hote.

Gunny: a jayega thodi der me. (with little hesitation) jab tak vo nahi a jata tab tak agar tum chaho to me tumhe company de sakta hu.

Vidhya: (with smile) ha kyu nahi. (in her mind) kya bat he aj samne se aye he bat karne, lagta he aj ka din to achha niklega. Lekin is speed se ye age badhe na to ho gaya, pata nahi ye kab apne dil ki bat bolenge. Kabhi kabhi to lagta he ke me hi bol du lekin inka koi bharosa nahi, mere bolne ke bad bhi kuchh nahi bola to. Kuchh nahi ho sakta inka vese to sab ko darate firte he lekin abhi khud hi itne nervous or dare hue dikh rahe he. Abhi company dene ki bat kar rahe the or abhi dekho ye kuchh bol hi nahi rahe. Dil ki bat nahi lekin kuchh to bole kyuki ab Vidhya isse jyada chup nahi reh sakti.

Gunny: vese Rummy or Sameera se to mil lia lekin tumhare baki ke dosto se milna nahi chahogi tum.

Vidhya: (with little sad face) milne ka to bohot man kar raha he lekin kese milu abhi tak hamare bare me kisiko nahi malum or na hi me abhi kuchh bata sakti hu.

Gunny: agar me kahu ke vo sab tumhare bare me jante he or un sab ne tumhare lie kuchh bheja he to..

Vidhya: (stop walking and turn toward Gunny) muje pata he ap mazak kar rahe ho lekin ye mazak ki bat nahi he, me sach me un sab ko bohot miss kar rahi hu.

Gunny: (took out his phone) me mazak nahi kar raha, sach me un sab ko tumhare bare me pata he or abhi vo sab idhar nahi a sakte isi lie sab ne tumhare lie voice message bheja he jo ki mere phone me he. With that he gave his phone to Vidhya.

Vidhya took Gunny's phone with excitement and checking all the voice messages that came from her friends. Vidhya was very happy and Gunny just looking at her. Gunny was happy to see her happy. All this planning was done by Gunny so that he could make Vidhya happy. After some time Vidhya came to Gunny and gave him his phone.

Vidhya: (with broad smile) thank you so much sir, ap jante nahi ke me aj bohot khush hu. Lekin in sab ko kese pata chala.

Gunny: mene hi bataya tha, vo sab tumhare friends he to unhe tumhare bare me janne ka pura hak he.

Vidhya: (looking into his eyes) matlab apne ye sirf mere dosto ke lie kia or kisi ke lie nahi...

Gunny: (not meeting his eyes) ye...yes....i....mean....no....(taking deep breath) matlab sirf unke lie nahi tumhare lie bhi....

Vidhya: (still looking toward him) mere lie kyu

Gunny: (nervous) tumhare lie because...

Vidhya: (with lots of hope) because....
