Do You Trust Me?

Do you trust me? ~ 9

Skipping to midnight...

Ishqi and Ahaan were still in hospital and didn't even move an inch the whole time. They were just simply sitting on a bench kept outside Dadi's room while their hands were intertwined and didn't knew when they fell asleep.

Ishqi woke up with a jerk when she heard Dadi coughing. She immediately went in her room and gave Dadi a glass of water. But Dadi just refused her and continued coughing...

"Dadi ji please zidd mat kariye, dekhiye kitna khaas rahi hai aap"

"Oye...tere...haath...se...main....kuch...nahi...lungi"

Dadi said while coughing. Till then Ahaan also entered the room and saw the stubborn side of Dadi which he used to see daily when he did tantrums while drinking milk and how Dadi forced him to drink milk for his own benefit...

Ahaan took the glass from Ishqi's hands and went near Dadi, this time she drank the glass of water without saying anything. Ahaan looked at Ishqi and signalled her to wait outside and Ishqi did the same...

"Dadi aapne Ishqi ke haath se paani kyu nahi piya?"

"Main uss ladki ke haath se kuch nahi lungi..."

"Kyu Dadi, aapki nazaro mein Ishqi ne aisa kya ghunah kiya hai?"

"Aree aisi bhi koi ladki hoti hai kya, aapni hi shaadi mein bhaag gayi aur kisi aur se shaadi karli. Pata nahi sanskaar hai bhi yaa nahi iss ladki mein aur aisi ladki ko main aapne ghar ki bahu kaise maan lu?"

"Dadi please, galti sirf Ishqi ki nahi hai, main bhi toh Ishqi ke saath hi bhaaga tha na..."

"Par tu mard hai Ahaan, ek ladki ko aisa karna nahi shobhta aur tujhe ho kya gaya hai Ahaan, tu toh aisa kabhi nahi tha"

"Dadi Ishqi bohot acchi ladki hai, haa mana maine ke aap usse bilkul pasand nahi karti par aapko pata bhi hai Mayank Ishqi ki life barbaad kar deta agar unn dono ki shaadi hojati"

"Aree toh karne deta usse hame kya, uss ladki ko bas bachane ke liye tune usse shaadi karli aur Rhea ka kya, uske bareme toh kabhi itna nahi socha tune toh fir iss ladki ke bareme kyu itna soch raha hai."

Ahaan was now really angry. He somehow managed to control his anger and said...

"Accha yeh sab choddo aur yeh batao kya aapko pata hai woh ladki kon thi jiske saath Mayank ne badtameezi ki?"

"Nahi..."

"Sonu..."

"Kya!! Sonu matlab hamari Sonu"

Ahaan said nothing he just looked down while Dadi was just shocked to the core...

"Aur aapko pata hai Dadi Sonu toh apni jaan dene wali thi par kisine usse bacha liya aur usne Sonu ka saath diya jab hum mein se koi Sonu ke saath nahi tha..."

"Kya!! Kisine bachayi Sonu ki jaan? Mujhe usse milna hai, mujhe uska shukriya aada karna hai...Bolna Ahaan tu chup kyu hai?"

"Dadi woh ladki aur koi nahi balke Ishqi hai...haa Dadi Ishqi ki wajahse aaj Sonu hamare paas hai, sahi salamat hai aur aap ussi Ishqi ko baar baar bina kisi wajahse daant rahe ho taane de rahe ho"

Dadi said nothing. She was just engrossed in her deep thoughts...

"Abhi aap yeh saari baate chhodo aap rest karo, main bahar hu aapko kisi bhi cheez ki zarurat ho toh mujhe bula lena..."

Ahaan said and then left the room only to find Ishqi already sleeping while resting her head on the wall and sitting on a bench. He smiled to himself and then near her and slowly took her head on his shoulders and closed his eyes...

Next day...

Dadi was discharged from hospital and was brought back to the resort. Throughout the car journey she was really silent which was bugging both Ahaan and Ishqi as Dadi was never this quiet she would atleast taunt Ishqi but won't keep mum.

Soon they reached the resort and took Dadi to her room. Everyone gathered in Dadi's room.

"Dadi aap thik ho?"

Sonu asked as she sat near Dadi. Dadi just hummed and stayed quiet...

"Kya hua Bhai Aaj Dadi itni chup kyu hai?"

Kartik whispered in Ahaan's ears and Ahaan told him what happened.

"Ishqi tumhare paas Dadi ki dawai haina?"

"Haa avm..."

"Toh mujhe dedo main Dadi ko dawai de deta hu"

"Par Ahaan khali pet dawai nahi dete, Dadi ko pehele kuch kha lena chaiye"

"Accha ruko main order kar deta hu"

Ahaan ordered the food and then gave food to Dadi. Everyone eles went back to their rooms after asking Dadi if she was okay while Ishqaan, Soraj and Kartik stayed back. After Dadi was done with her lunch Ahaan gave her medicines...

"Dadi ab aap aaram kijiye"

Ahaan said as he left the room followed by Soraj and Kartik. Soon Dadi laid on the bed and closed her eyes. Just then she felt someone massaging her legs, she opened her eyes and saw Ishqi sitting on the edge of the bed and pressing her feet.

"Ishqi yeh kya kar rahi hai?"

"Dadi ji mujhe pata hai aap mujhse naraz hai par abhi aapki tabiyat kharab hai issliye main bas woh kar rahi hu jisse shayad aapko accha lage"

Dadi's heart melted this time. She sat on bed and held Ishqi's hands...

"Ishqi puttar mujhe maaf karde, maine tujhe bohot buri baate boli aur tujhpe be-buniyaad aarob bhi lagaye. Tumne meri Sonu ki madat ki mujhe toh tera shukriya aada karna chahiye par maine ulta tujhe kitna sunaya. Mujhe maaf karde"

"Dadi mujhe aapki baato ka bura nahi laga aap please maafi mat maangiye"

Ishqi hugged Dadi...

"Accha Dadi abhi aapko rest ki jarurat hai, aap rest kijiye"

Ishqi said as she tucked Dadi in blanked and then left the room...
