PARITYAG : The story of Aadyansh (On Hold)

Mischiefness and Sharing secrets

"Kya tum mere dost banoge" asked Aadyshri with a sparkle in her eyes.

There was a silence for sometime. Thus, inorder to convince him she added "Sriansh, tum esa mat socho ki maine tum dono ke sath bura kia isliye ye dosti ka hath bdha rahi hu. Mai sachme, sachme tum dono se dosti krna chahti hu. Tum dono bhut ache ho. Asal me jab Pahal ne mujhe btaya tha ki tumhari jindgi kesi rhi tb se hi mene socha ki tumlog asal me bure nhi ho. Wo to halat ne tumhe.... Khair chodo. Maine sirf tumse dosti ka hath manga h. Agar tum chaho to haa ya naa kuch v bol skte ho. Ye tumhara khud ka apna faisla hoga. Mai tum pr koyi dbaw nhi daalna chahti hu".

Sriansh nodded his head and with teary eyes he replied "Haa mai karunga ye dosti. Aur nibhaunga v. Lekin kya ap sachme ap mujhse dosti. M..mera mtlb h. Aajtak kisi ne mujhse ese dosti nhi ki. Ye dekh kar ki mai garib hu, bura hu, chor hu...". He had tears in his eyes. Tears of extreme happiness. But he added while stammering and sobbing "Aap..ky..kyu mujhse dos..dosti krna chahti h? Mai to layk v n..nhi h..hu".
"Nhi. Esa nhi h. Balki tum to bhut ache ho. Tumne bs dusre k samne esi jhhuti chawi dikhayi h ki tum bhut bure ho. Par jab paas se dekha to jana ki bhut ache ho. Tum dono hi bhut ache insan ho." She admitted.

Sriansh chuckled sadly and said "Apko pta h jab mai 3 sal ka tha to meri maa mujhe chod ke chli gyi thi. Bhut pyar karti thi wo mujhse par chli gyi. Baba ko to jese mano koi..fark" and he started sobbing but continued while stammering "Unhe koi fark n..nhi pda. Wo hm...hmesa mujhe marte rhte the. Kv pyar nhi ki..kiya. kv kv esa lg..lgta tha jese mano mai unka beta hi nhi hu. Fir tang aake ek din mai ghar se bhag gya. Lekin ye..ye Zalim duniya ek 14 sal ke bacche pe zulm krne me k..koi ksrt nhi choti. Fir mai samjh gya ki bura bn ne me hi fayda h. Jo bura hai w..whi ji payega. Nhi to ese hi dar dar ki thokar khata rahunga. Fir dhire dhire chori karna shuru kiya, fir thagna(fraud) shuru kiya. Bs yuhi ese hi jine ki aadt si hogyi. Kb ye sb meri phchan bn gya pta hi nhi chla". He had tears in his eyes. He was crying  bitterly.

Aadyshri was listening and staring him carefully with teary eyes. She patted his shoulder to consoled him. But it was too less for him. He couldn't control anymore and thus he hid his face on her lap. He started crying bitterly with his head in her lap. "Kyuuuuuu? Meri k...kya galti thi? Agar mer..meri..es..esi zindgi mili to..." he was sobbing and sniffing continuously. "Sshhhh , chup ho jao kuch mat bolo" consoled Aadyshri while sobbing hard. She too was finding it difficult to control on her emotions. She was constantly stroking his head lovingly in order to pacify him.

He was trying his best to hide himself from this cruel world. Sriansh who hadn't  fell weak in front  of anyone , but today he had cried his heart out in front of a girl to whom he had barely met 2 months ago. He had encircled his one hand around her stomach and  his head was on her lap , trying to hide more in her.

After a while when he felt relieved, he opened his eyes and found her crying while stroking his hairs. He realized their proximity thus he immediately got up from her lap with a jerk and apologized "Maaf kijiega. Mujhe dhyan hi nhi rha". She replied decently "Koi baat nhi Sriansh,  mujhe bura nhi lga".
After a couple of minutes he asked "To kya mere bare me itna sb kuch jan ne ke baad v ap mujhse dosti rakhengi?". "Ha krungi. Kyuki tumhara samay bura tha tum nhi" she replied while smiling with teary eyes.
"To fir mai v dosti krunga" he replied with teary eyes. But this time his eyes were holding tears of happiness, of finding a true friend.

"Lekin dosti ki hai to ache se nibhani hogi. Thik h?" Warned Aadyshri. On this Sriansh chuckled and confirmed "Bilkul".
"Ese tumhe pta h , tum mere phle dost ho?" Said Aadyshri. "Phla dost? Par ap to rajkumari h, apke to kitne sare dost honge na?" Asked Sriansh, confused.

Aadyshri shook her head and replied "Nhi h. Maa k jane ke baad baba ne mujhe kv bahr akele niklne nhi diya aur na hi kisi se milne dete the. Wo mujhe le ke bhut jada Aatisanrichit(overprotective) ho gye the. Aur mai jb Vashisht dew bnke bahr niklti hu to desh ke prem aur surakscha ke chakkr me kabhi dost bna hi nhi payi". A drop of tear rolled from her eyes.
