Dor Jo Na Toote (Sloth Updates)

Kartik,

Kahan se shuru karoon? Pehle thank you kahoon, ya sorry? Manne samajh na aa raha Kartik. Kyonki is rishte mein na, manne hamesha paya hi paya hai par badle mein kabhi kuchh na diya. Aapne- aapne har kadam pe, har mod pe, mhara saath diya aur manne... 

Bahut khudgarz hoon mein, Kartik. 

Itni badi baat kitni asaani se samjha di aapne mhare ko ki waqt agar bura bhi ho na to bhi nikal hi jaata hai. Mhara bhi nikal hi jayega. Par ab ye mhare upar hai ki is waqt ne main kisi ke sahare nikal loon, ya to khud apna sahara ban jaoon. Aur manne tay kar liya hai kartik ki iss waqt ne na main apne aap ne majboot karne mein lagaoongi, itna majoobt ki mhare ko kabhi kisi ke sahare ki zaroorat na padegi. 

Bachpan se lekar na manne apni saari ladaiyan khud hi ladi hain, saare faisle khud hi liye hain par aapke aane ke baad pata nahi kaise badal gayi main. Aapne aur aapke pariwar ne itna kuchh kara hai mhare waaste, mhare bure waqt mein mhara saath diya hai, mhara dukh banta hai par iss bure waqt pe na sirf mhara haq hai. Ismein aapke aur aapke pariwar ne shammil na karna chahti.

Main jaa rahi hoon, Kartik. 

Kahan? 

Je to mhare ko bhi na pata, aur aap pata karne ki koshish karna bhi mat. Aapse na bas ek yahi ahsaan chahiye mhare ko. Agar aap sach mein mhare ko khush dekhna chahte hain na to to mhare ko dhoondhne ki koshish na karnege. Sorry, Kartik, and thank you.

Sirat

***

Dropping the letter, Kartik frowned making a run to the outside. On the road, he looked around looking for clues of her trail. In the end, he approached a nearby tea-stall vendor who ended up directing him to the left. He followed the directed path, gripping the steering wheels tightly.

Kartik (forced deep breaths)- Sirat, kahan chali gayi tum? Mujhe tumhe chhodkar jaana hi nahi chahiye tha, lekin papa se baat karni zaroori thi. Krishna ji, please uska dhyan rakhna, uski tabiyat bhi thik nahi hai pata nahi aisi halat mein kahan jayegi vo.

It's near next turn his eyes fell on a girl in white moving slowly. Sighing, Kartik pulled off to a side, jumping out of the vehicle moved towards her.

Kartik (holds her wrist)- Ye kya kar rahi ho to tum Sirat? Kahan jaa rahi ho?

Sirat (turns to stare at him teary eyed)- Aap, athey ke kar rahe ho?

Kartik (tugging her towards house)- Kyon tum mujhe chhod sakti ho main tumhe rokne nahi aa sakta?  

Sirat (follows relctuantly)- Aap jante hain ye baat na hai Kartik, aap mhare liye kyon apni family se, duniya se lad rahe ho?

Kartik (pauses, turns to face her)- Taaki tum aisi koi bewakoofi na karo, halat dekhi hai apni thik se chal bhi nahi paa rahi, bukhar se shareer tap raha hai aur letter chhod kar gayab ho gayi tum. Vo to main vahan se jaldi nikal gaya tha... Sirat tum dost ho meri, maine vada kiya hai tumhara dhyan rakhunga, Ranveer se, mauri se, apne aap se, aur tum chahti ho main tumhe akela chhod doon. Tumhe apni koi parwah nahi hai, thik hai, kabhi unke baare mein socha hai agar tum ladna chhod dogi to unhe kaisa lagega.

Sirat (takes her hand back from his grip)- Unhe chahe kaisa bhi lage Kartik, bolne ke liye to na hain na vo yahan. To aap bhi unki lee baaton ko lekar kyon baithe hain, ke apna dhyan na rakh sakun main? Aapke paas apna parivar hai, kaam hai, bachche hain chinta karne ke liye, lekin na mhari vajah se, jis dosti ki duhai de raho na aap mhare ko, court ghaseet kar le gaya vo aapko, aapke parivaar ki izzat ko.

Kartik (sighs, reaches out again)- Sirat, ismein tumhari koi galti nahi hai, galti hai to un jhoothi reports ki. Ek bar hamare waqeel ko uske khilaf koi pukhta saboot mil jayega fir sab thik ho jayega, tumhein is tarah se door jaane ki koi zaroorat nahi hai.
